Best Restaurants Open Monday in Las Vegas 2026

Why a Monday list matters in Las Vegas

Most dining cities thin out on a Monday. Las Vegas does the opposite. The casinos never close and the restaurant inside them keeps the casino's hours, so the Strip's celebrity-chef rooms, the steakhouses, the Greek seafood palaces, the Italian-American institutions, almost all serve Monday night. For a visitor, that makes Monday the smart play: the table that takes a month to land on a weekend is often open the same day on a Monday, and the room is calmer.

One thing to set straight: Las Vegas has no active Michelin guide. Michelin rated the city briefly and pulled out after 2009, so any claim of a Las Vegas Michelin star is out of date. What the serious rooms hold instead are the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Travel Guide stars, and a roster of chefs, Jose Andres, Wolfgang Puck, Emeril Lagasse, who anchor the Strip. The list below leads with the two best steak rooms, then the Italian-American phenomenon and the Greek seafood standard, and closes with the New Orleans steakhouse that started the modern Strip. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's own listing in June 2026. For the rest of the week, start with the Las Vegas dining guide.

The Monday list

Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres

Spanish steakhouse · The Venetian · $90–200 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 17:00–22:00

Bazaar Meat, now at The Palazzo inside The Venetian after its move from the Sahara, is Jose Andres' carnivore theatre and the most ambitious steak room on the Strip. The whole suckling pig, the dry-aged cuts carved tableside and the cotton-candy foie gras are the order, with a Monday dinner running $90 to $200 a head. It opens Monday from five to ten. This is the room to book for a celebration or a deal you want to win; reserve the chef's counter to watch the fire, or a banquette for a long table. A Monday booking here is far easier than a weekend one.

CUT by Wolfgang Puck

Steakhouse · The Venetian · $90–180 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 17:00–22:00

CUT, Wolfgang Puck's modern steakhouse at The Palazzo, is the Strip's benchmark for prime beef done simply, from American Wagyu to Japanese A5, with a bar program to match. The bone-marrow flan, the dry-aged ribeye and the warm-spiced cocktails are the order, and a Monday dinner lands $90 to $180 a head. Business-casual dress, open Monday from five to ten. It is the steakhouse for a client dinner that needs to impress without theatrics; the dining room is quieter on a Monday, which makes it the easier night to talk across the table.

Carbone

Italian-American · Aria · $90–160 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 17:00–22:30

Carbone, the Major Food Group import at Aria, brought New York's red-sauce revival to the Strip and remains one of the hardest weekend tables in town, which is exactly why Monday is the night to try. The spicy rigatoni vodka, the veal parmesan carved tableside and the Caesar tossed at the table are the order, with a Monday dinner at $90 to $160 a head. Open Monday from five to half-ten, the tuxedoed captains and the 1960s room intact. Book Monday for the best shot at a table and the full theatre without the weekend crush.

Estiatorio Milos

Greek seafood · The Venetian · $80–150 per head

Monday hours: Monday, lunch 11:30–14:45 & dinner 17:00–23:00

Estiatorio Milos at The Venetian is Costas Spiliadis' Greek seafood standard, where the whole fish, flown in daily and chosen by the pound from a market display of ice, is the entire point. The grilled branzino, the Milos special of paper-thin fried zucchini and the Greek spreads are the order, with a Monday dinner at $80 to $150 a head and a far gentler set-price lunch. It runs both lunch and dinner on Monday, one of the few marquee rooms open across the day. It is the lighter, brighter Strip dinner and the best Monday option for fish over beef.

Delmonico Steakhouse

Steakhouse · The Venetian · $80–140 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 11:30–22:00

Delmonico, Emeril Lagasse's steakhouse at The Venetian, opened in 1999 and helped start the modern celebrity-chef Strip, folding New Orleans flavour into a classic steak room. The barbecue shrimp, the bone-in ribeye and the banana cream pie are the order, with a Monday meal at $80 to $140 a head. It runs the longest Monday hours of this group, half-eleven in the morning straight through to ten at night, so it is the room for an early Monday dinner or a long business lunch. It is the most traditional and most affordable of the Strip steakhouses here.

How to book a Monday table in Las Vegas

In Las Vegas, Monday is the booking cheat code. The rooms that sell out months ahead for a weekend, Carbone above all, routinely have prime Monday tables open the same week, sometimes the same day, on OpenTable or Resy. Bazaar Meat and CUT both take Monday reservations easily and both reward an early call for the chef's counter. Estiatorio Milos runs lunch and dinner on Monday, so it is the flexible pick. Delmonico opens late morning and is the easiest walk-up of the five. For a deal dinner, a Monday at CUT or Bazaar Meat is the move, quieter rooms and the same kitchen; see closing a deal over dinner. For a solo Monday, the counters at Bazaar Meat and the bar at CUT are the best seats and a fine solo-dining perch.

Frequently asked questions

Are restaurants open on Monday in Las Vegas?

Yes, almost all of them. Las Vegas runs on casino time, so the Strip's marquee rooms, including Bazaar Meat, CUT, Carbone, Estiatorio Milos and Delmonico, all serve Monday night. Monday is in fact the easiest reservation of the week: the tables that are impossible on a weekend are often free the same day. For the full week, see the Las Vegas dining guide.

Does Las Vegas have Michelin-starred restaurants?

No. Las Vegas has no active Michelin guide. Michelin rated the city briefly in the late 2000s and withdrew after 2009, so any current claim of a Las Vegas Michelin star is out of date. The marks that matter on the Strip today are the AAA Five Diamond award and the Forbes Travel Guide stars, which several of the rooms on this list hold. Judge them on those and on the chef behind the kitchen.

Is Carbone open on Monday in Las Vegas?

Yes. Carbone at Aria opens Monday from five to half-ten. The spicy rigatoni vodka, the tableside Caesar and the veal parmesan run $90 to $160 a head. Carbone is one of the hardest weekend tables in the city, so Monday is the smart night to book it: you have a far better chance of a prime-time table and the full tableside theatre without the Saturday crush. Reserve through Resy.

Which Las Vegas restaurant is easiest to book on a Monday?

Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian, which opens late morning and runs to ten, is the easiest of these five to walk into on a Monday. Estiatorio Milos, open for both lunch and dinner, is also flexible. As a rule, every room on this list is dramatically easier to book on a Monday than on a weekend, so use the soft night to land a table you could not get on a Saturday.

What time do Las Vegas restaurants open on Monday?

It varies by room, but dinner service on the Strip generally starts at five. Delmonico and Estiatorio Milos open earliest, both serving from late morning through Monday lunch and dinner. Bazaar Meat, CUT and Carbone are dinner-only on a Monday, opening at five and seating until ten or half-ten. Because the casinos never close, late Monday tables are easier to find here than in almost any other city.
