Retro-themed restaurants are tapping into a desire for comfort and familiarity amid economic uncertainty. Diner Ross Steakhouse at the LINQ offers a 1970s-themed experience, complete with roller-skating waitstaff and disco vibes. The restaurant's menu includes classic diner fare with a twist, alongside era-specific cocktails. New culinary concepts are also emerging, with chefs focusing on bold global flavors and interactive dining experiences. Gymkhana, a London-born Indian restaurant at Aria, serves beef for the first time, alongside Goan lobster curry. At the Venetian, Cote, a Korean steakhouse, has expanded its seafood menu. Several new restaurants are slated to open in the summer of 2026, including Flavortown Sports Kitchen by Guy Fieri at Horseshoe Las Vegas. Ocean Prime, a $20 million steakhouse, is also opening on the Strip with a rooftop terrace. The Durango Casino and Resort will feature the Eat Your Heart Out Food Hall. Chef-driven restaurants are gaining prominence off-Strip, particularly in Chinatown. The Arts District is also seeing new chef-driven concepts, such as Beautiful Stranger, with a seasonal dining menu and craft cocktails. There's also a rise in Mediterranean restaurants, such as Hadari's, a Lebanese restaurant opening near the Edo Gastro Pub.
