Best Authentic Restaurants in El Cortez Hotel & Casino

Anthony's is such a great restaurant! We live a few minutes away, and after our meals there, we always lament that we need to go more often! The food wasn't spectacular, from the escargot, lobster bisque (which thankfully they do not put Pernod in), sea bass, lobster...everything was cooked to perfection, came out perfectly timed and hot. Our waiter was exceptional, very attentive, and wonderful with suggestions. We will be back sooner next time!

Breakfast was great. All the staff was friendly and our needs were met.

We had a party of 6 friends that haven’t seen each other in a long time. All of us enjoyed our dinner, especially your specialty drinks. I had a delicious Chinese chicken salad. We are watching college football games while eating. We would definitely come back again.

Carson’s Kitchen, Las Vegas – A Must-Visit Culinary Gem! We had an incredible lunch experience at Carson’s Kitchen in Las Vegas. There were four of us, and we made a reservation for Friday lunch. While it wasn’t entirely necessary as we were the first ones there, it quickly became clear why reservations are a good idea—the dining room is intimate, and watching the open kitchen in action added a unique charm to the experience. We started with a few appetizers, and they set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The crispy chicken skins were a revelation, melting in your mouth with every bite. The bacon jam Havarti is a must-have—rich, flavorful, and unlike anything else we’ve tried. But the standout surprise? The hotdog burnt ends, which were shockingly delicious and an unexpected favorite. For our entrees, we each ordered something different but found ourselves wishing we had shared, given how generous and flavorful the appetizers were. The chicken thighs were tender and juicy, the pot roast dip was unanimously declared a table favorite, the steelhead trout had perfectly crispy skin that was pure perfection, and the short rib steak was rich and satisfying. Carson’s Kitchen nails the balance between approachable comfort food and elevated dining. The flavors were bold, the portions satisfying, and the atmosphere cozy yet vibrant. If you’re in Las Vegas, make this spot a priority—and definitely consider sharing so you can try as much of the menu as possible! We’ll absolutely be back.

Fantastic dinner with outstanding view. We were lucky to have window table.
