The Best Family Restaurants in Las Vegas

If an older guide sent you looking: Kahunaville at Treasure Island and Bobby’s Burger Palace at The Shops at Crystals have both closed. The spots below are open and easy with kids.
Where to eat with the whole crew
A mix of big-portion crowd-pleasers, a couple of only-in-Vegas experiences, and reliable standbys. Hours and locations change, so confirm before you go.
Rainforest Cafe
A full jungle of animatronic animals, thunderstorms, and a giant aquarium. The food is standard American, but for younger kids the room itself is the whole event.
The Cheesecake Factory
An encyclopedic menu that has something for every picky eater, generous portions, and of course the wall of cheesecake. A dependable no-argument pick at the Forum Shops.
Maggiano’s Little Italy
Big family-style platters of Italian classics meant for sharing, right at the Fashion Show mall across from Wynn. Great for a hungry group and easy on kids.
Hash House A Go Go
Famous for enormous “twisted farm food” portions, especially the tractor-sized breakfasts. One plate can nearly feed two kids. A fun, filling brunch stop.
The Peppermill
A neon-lit, retro Vegas landmark open around the clock, with towering portions and a menu that spans breakfast to burgers. A fun, only-in-Vegas stop the kids will remember.
Earl of Sandwich
Quick, affordable, genuinely good hot sandwiches, a lifesaver when you need to feed everyone fast between activities. One of the best cheap eats on the Strip.
Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix
Not fine dining, but a locals’ favorite where go-karts, rides, and an arcade come with casual snack-bar food. Turn lunch into an afternoon and let the kids burn off energy.
Grimaldi’s Pizzeria
Coal-brick-oven pizza that reliably makes everyone happy, with locations around the valley and on the Strip. An easy, no-fuss dinner when pizza is the only thing everyone agrees on.
