Eat Like a Local at These Las Vegas Restaurants

Live like a Las Vegas local and eat at these delicious restaurants off the beaten path

1. Every Grain

If you're willing to stray from a traditional American meal (and you should be), you can experiment with this Taiwanese outlet that serves fantastic food and is quite popular in the city. Every Grain will cater to your cravings for terrific noodles, pork belly meals and more Asian specialties. You can order takeout if you don't want to commit to a sit-down meal.

2. Forte European Tapas Bar and Bistro

This is the perfect spot for a group dinner. The restaurant serves tapas, so the idea is to order multiple things off the menu to try. Some popular choices include Spanish olives, French fries, beef stroganoff and more. There is also a decent selection of drinks to accompany the meals, including wine, craft beers and sangria

Location: 4180 S Rainbow Blvd

3. Graffiti Bao

If you're craving Chinese food, head to Graffiti Bao on  7355 S Buffalo Drive. You can spoil yourself with some tasty noodles, stir fry dishes, dumplings, pork belly and more. Chef and owner Marc Marrone perfected his art preparing these dishes.

Location:  7355 S Buffalo Drive

Here, diners enjoy their meals while viewing Lake Jacqueline, a pretty man-made lake in the Desert Shores neighborhood. Led by chef Stephen Blandino, the Americana Restaurant menu brings together European and American cuisines with masterful effects. Main courses include a grilled Bone-In Filet Mignon, an Australian Wagyu Tomahawk, and Oven-Roasted Alaskan Halibut.

Location: 2620 Regatta Drive Suite 118

5. Gaetano's Ristorante

How about some Italian? Gaetano's in Henderson is an affordable eatery with a dynamic menu bringing all the best Italian special.
