The resort is home to a futuristic casino and the LINQ Promenade, which contains a range of thrilling attractions like the 550-foot-tall High Roller observation wheel.

There are many things to consider when deciding where to eat at the Linq Hotel + Experience. I broke the restaurants down into three categories based on their most prominent features, service style, and offerings to help make things easier for you.
Casual Sit-Down Dining at the Linq Promenade
The LINQ Promenade is just one part of the Linq Hotel + Experience. It features casual sit-down dining options, shopping, nightlife, and other attractions like the Fly LINQ or High Roller, which can be found at the far end. The restaurants on the mall are great for parties of all sizes and families, no dress code required.
Chayo Mexican Kitchen + Tequila Bar
As the name suggests, Chayo is known for tasty Mexican food and tequila. This two-story restaurant features multiple bars, private dining room options, and spacious patios on both levels. They also have indoor-outdoor seating with a view of the High Roller, making it great for watching the activity on the Promenade.
Their lunch and dinner menu contains Mexican classics like tacos, burritos, and signature dishes like Green Chicken Enchiladas. The Churro French Toast is a fan favorite at brunch.
To accompany the nearly endless list of select tequilas and mezcals, the bar menu offers flights with three shots, a collection of margaritas, and specialty cocktails. This restaurant also has a DJ and a mechanical bull contributing to its fun, party atmosphere. They host a Latin dance party from midnight to 5 AM on Friday and Saturday nights.

Favorite Bistro
Restaurateurs Thierry Bourdoncle and Ariane de Senneville’s Favorite Bistro bring you French cuisine with an American flair. This is their first U.S. location, and it highlights dishes imported from their notable locations in France.
Open until late; you can stop by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Their lively ambiance makes it a great spot any time of day. During happy hour, they feature a special menu with finger foods and drinks.
In the morning, the Lobster Benedict, and Hangover Burger steal the show. Later in the day, authentic French fares, like the Baked Brie and Baguette and Croque Monsieur are the main event. You can also enjoy escargots, pizza, sandwiches, or one of their tempting desserts.

As you might suspect, this eatery is known for its brick oven pizza. It is constructed with fresh whole milk mozzarella and nearly endless house-made toppings. They also have an award-winning gluten-free pizza.
Suppose you’re not in the mood for pizza. In that case, this restaurant has delicious Meatballs, salads, pasta, steak, seafood, desserts, and more. They also have dozens of craft beers by the glass or pitcher to complete your meal.

Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri takes you to Flavortown at his Vegas Kitchen Bar. He puts yummy twists on comfort food classics and infuses them with bold flavors. This spot is perfect for parties and groups. They feature shareable plates and large party bowl-style cocktails.

Hash House a Go Go
Originally from Indiana, Hash House a Go Go has relished national attention thanks to the show Man v. Food. Now in Las Vegas, their massive portions of American comfort food with a spin draw people in for breakfast and lunch daily or dinner on Friday and Saturday.
The menu at this restaurant is referred to as twisted farm food. It offers breakfast favorites, steaks, sandwiches, burgers, mac and cheese, and more. Some of their signature dishes include Andy’s World Famous Sage Fried Chicken and Waffles and HH Famous ‘Twisted’ Flapjacks with snickers and various fruits.
No matter the time of day, this eatery has a vibrant atmosphere and a decorative appeal. When you need a hangover fix, the O’Hare of the Dog, which consists of a side of bacon and a 24 oz Budweiser, might do the trick.

At Maxie’s, you’ll find classic dishes with a delicious spin. They serve elevated American diner food that looks amazing, tastes delectable, and is presented dramatically. It is an excellent choice for breakfast or brunch, and they’re open til 10 PM Thursday through Sunday.

Virgil’s is known for their southern-style barbecue, which is smoked at a low temperature for up to 10 hours.
