With hundreds of restaurants in Las Vegas throwing elaborate prix-fixe dinners on New Year’s Eve, where are you going?  From party spots with fire dancers to classy dinners serving caviar, steak or sushi, Las Vegas has plenty of places to welcome in 2025—whether it’s the ultimate destination for the evening or just a stop before taking in a concert or hitting the nightclub, here are a few of our favorites this year.

Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas

For those who want to head to bed before midnight, they can get an early start and celebrate Bavarian style with a boot-stomping party that includes a 3pm balloon drop. Yes, the Midnight in Munich party celebrates the New Year as it occurs in Germany, hence the early start time. “Ein Prosit!” The party kicks off at 1pm.

Ada’s Food + Wine 

Ada’s at Tivoli Village is hosting a special masquerade dinner with two prix-fixe menus ($125 for four courses or $250 for eight). Caviar service and wine pairings are available as add-ons for this “Unmask the New Year” experience.

Caspian’s Cocktails & Caviar

This days-old caviar and champagne lounge is coming out with a bang with a rock & roe party. The new spot, which took over the Cleopatra’s Barge location at Caesars Palace, will be serving stylish cocktails and everything caviar-topped—from waffles and tacos to lobster rolls and Pringles.  

Ocean Prime

First, let’s point out the obvious: The patio at this Stripside restaurant is a prime location to watch the fireworks show—that is after you dine, of course. Guests have two options, a five-course set menu or an à la carte experience. Both run $300 per person and include party favors and a midnight champagne toast. Book through OpenTable.

Komodo

Show me the Money Bag Dumplings. Those are just one of the fun offerings available at Komodo’s serpent-themed Year of the Snake party. Pastrami eggrolls and Peking duck are solid finds as well. Food and beverage minimums run from $145 (before 7pm) to $245 after.

Enjoy all your Nobu favorites with a special seven-course New Year omakase menu. And the good news is it’s available on both NYE and New Year’s Day from 4 to 10pm. Both are priced at $350 per person.  

Toca Madera

Fire dancers, a roaming guitarist, 24-carat crispy A5 Wagyu tacos, lobster and caviar with gold leaf, what’s not to like about Toca Madera’s NYE experience? Per-person table minimums increase from $150 (before 8pm) to $200 as midnight approaches. 

La Cave

This Wynn restaurant is welcoming 2025 with a decadent five-course prix-fixe dinner that includes caviar, lobster ravioli and Australian rack of lamb ($249 per person, optional wine pairing $85 wine pairing). They also have a New Year’s Day brunch available from 11am to 3pm, affordably priced at $69 per person.

Delmonico Steakhouse

This Venetian standard bearer restaurant (it opened with the resort 25 years ago) is serving an exclusive menu on NYE. From 5 to 10pm, Delmonico will offer several special items such as sweet potato gnocchi with confit duck, crispy chicken skins with sturgeon caviar and a wild mushroom risotto with fresh white truffles, among them. 

Crossroads

The plant-based hot spot from Tal Ronnen has a six-course menu ($115 per person) planned to ring in 2025. Guests will start with “caviar,” move on to cauliflower and leek soup and choose from either a lion’s mane steak or porcini and leek tortellini as just some of the options. 

Carversteak

The Resorts World steakhouse will host two New Year’s Eve seatings. Early birds (from 5 to 7:30pm, $195 per person) can be in and out and on their way to their evening concert or party, while later diners can enjoy the leisurely six-course meal ($295 per person) as the destination itself with seatings through midnight.   

WAKUDA 

Take in the eight-course tasting menu ($275 per person) and dine on everything from lobster and uni ceviche to crispy quail and miso-marinated Wagyu before turning your attention to the sky and watching the fireworks over the Strip from WAKUDA’s outdoor terrace.
