by OpenTable
Updated 13 July 2021

With 294 days of sunshine a year, Las Vegas is uniquely poised to offer comfortable al fresco dining options year-round. A local tip: try to snag a seat at sunset. One glimpse of the spectrum of colors that grace the desert at twilight and you’ll understand why people choose to call this city home. From the rarefied big-name restaurants of the Strip to the local downtown haunts, these 12 amazing outdoor venues in Las Vegas offer an array of al fresco desert dining options.

Locale Italian Kitchen + Craft Cocktails
4.8 (1014)
$30 and under
Italian
Spring Valley
At Locale, chef Marc Marrone draws upon recipes from his Italian family as well as years of experience on the Strip to create faithful renditions of Italian classics. Locals head to the Southwest neighborhood for the crisp fritto misto, freshly made pastas, and the hearty mains such as saltimbocca and pan-seared arctic char. The restaurant’s front patio is festooned with string lights along the perimeter and features umbrellas scattered between several small tables for convivial bistro-esque dining. Pro tip: Stop by on Tuesdays for a $99 special for two three-course meals centered around a hefty shared 36-ounce tomahawk ribeye.

This is our third visit to Locale. The first two were for brunch and this one was for dinner. The food was excellent and the presentation was beautiful. Our waiter was very professional and attentive. We will return.

Mizumi - Wynn Las Vegas
4.7 (1468)
$50 and over
Japanese
Wynn Las Vegas and Encore
Some restaurants transport diners from the flashing lights and crowded sidewalks of the Strip. Mizumi’s dining room is one such oasis, overlooking a lush lagoon fed by a 90-foot waterfall. The restaurant serves elegant Japanese fare such as thin slices of wagyu beef that diners can cook on a hot stone placed on the table, along with a selection of sushi, sashimi, and charcoal-grilled small plates. While there are many open-air tables facing the lagoon, the luckiest diners might snag the pagoda table — one of Vegas’s most coveted — located on a floating pavilion by the waterfall.

Prime - Bellagio
4.7 (3193)
$50 and over
Steakhouse
The Strip
A trip to Las Vegas isn’t complete without seeing the Bellagio Water Show, and at PRIME, that view is accompanied by world-class steaks at the restaurant’s lakeside tables. Helmed by celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, this elegant Bellagio establishment serves a classic, well-executed steakhouse menu. While beef is the centerpiece here, the seafood section also shines, offering tins of golden Osetra caviar and chilled platters of Alaskan king crab. Note: patio and view seating is by request only and not guaranteed.

We had a great experience. We were welcomed at check-in with a Happy Anniversary immediately. They sat us at a window that viewed the fountains. Service was excellent. We both had the Dover Sole which was amazing as well. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Cañonita

Traditional Mexican
The Venetian and Palazzo
The sole restaurant located along the canal-front in The Venetian and The Palazzo delivers more than just waterfront views of the resort’s singing gondoliers. With a menu that reflects the rich culinary landscape of Mexico via executive chef Daniel Marquez’s travels, diners enjoy dishes such as guajillo chile-rubbed barbacoa, queso fundido, and ahi tuna with a pasilla Oaxaca chile cream sauce. No time for a sit down meal? Check out the new walk-up Street Taqueria for a quick bite as you walk through the Grand Canal.

The Strip
Beer Park is a rooftop bar at the Paris Hotel & Casino that offers killer views of the Strip and a sky-high setting to watch the latest game, with a whopping 75 HDTVs stationed throughout the space. For those interested in a little friendly competition, the 9,000-square-foot deck offers ample space for games of shuffleboard and giant Jenga. In keeping with the sports ethos, the menu here is stadium-inspired, with items such as the pineapple- and barbecue sauce-smothered kahuna cowboy burger. And yes, there is plenty of beer.

El Segundo Sol
4.7 (2003)
$30 and under
Mexican
Fashion Show Mall
Located on the ground level of the Fashion Show Mall, the broad, tree-shaded patio at El Segundo Sol sits under lights and star lanterns hanging from the trees above, creating a charming atmosphere to watch life unfold on Las Vegas Boulevard. Tacos and margaritas take center stage on the menu here, but don’t miss the elotes, where the corn is deeply charred and generously sprinkled with cotija cheese. Tequila aficionados take note: the restaurant offers more than 100 varieties. Don’t miss “loco hour,” aka happy hour, which runs daily from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm with drink and snack specials.

Echo & Rig Steakhouse & Butcher Shop
4.5 (7134)
$31 to $50
Steakhouse
Tivoli Village
West of the Strip in Summerlin, the Tivoli Village shopping district has established itself as an outpost for good, independent restaurants — thanks in no small part to Echo & Rig. A hybrid butcher shop and restaurant, Echo & Rig eschews high price points and vague sourcing for an ingredients-first model: sausages are made in-house, beef is sourced straight from the ranch, and every steak is cooked over red oak. The outdoor tables feel miles away from the crowds, situated on a tiled terrace overlooking a plaza with a fountain.

Our waiter was super nice and helped us on our meal where we wouldn’t over pay and we even got a complimentary ice cream for my partners birthday. Food was amazing!

Americana Las Vegas
4.7 (2546)
$31 to $50
American
Desert Shores
Sitting on the tree-shaded tables at Americana, diners might forget they’re in the middle of the Mojave desert. While the lake the restaurant sits on might be man-made, it certainly feels natural; ducks glide by and curious fish occasionally break the surface. In addition to a European-influenced à la carte menu featuring dishes such as braised Colorado lamb shank, the prix fixe weekly harvest menu is a three-course seasonal offering that includes endless wine pairings.

Started off with a couple of cocktails they were made perfect my wife and I both picked our entrées that were done to perfection paired with an excellent bottle of wine and they had a wonderful pianist playing tunes in the background. It was a great night. It was her birthday, so that made an extra special will be back.

Summerlin
Hearthstone at Red Rock Casino in Summerlin South is a rustic-chic new American restaurant featuring not one, but two hearths: wood-burning ovens that crank out pizzas, roasted chicken, and more. Look out for updated weekly specials including dollar oyster Wednesdays and happy hour deals. The large outdoor patio is framed by palm trees and calming water features, with a fire pit for cooler desert nights.

Hawthorn Grill
4.4 (1430)
$31 to $50
Steakhouse
JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort
Located in the Spa Tower at the JW Marriott in Summerlin, Hawthorn Grill creates an appropriately calm setting; the outdoor seating is surrounded by lush foliage with a scenic waterfall backdrop. Fire pits and heaters ward off any evening chill, while diners enjoy American dinner classics such as meatballs, a BLT wedge salad, and four different surf-and-turf combinations.

Our group of 8 ladies thoroughly enjoyed the Happy Hour experience on the beautiful patio amidst tall trees, bubbly water from waterfalls, and green foliage, a nice change from the hot summer weather of Las Vegas.
