Best Family Style Restaurants in Sam's Town Hotel & Gambling Hall

Great dining experience and our waitress was excellent. They did get my protein wrong when I ordered the Lo Mein but the manager was so kind and took it off the bill. Only frustration is that we had a reservation at 7:30pm and waited about 40 minutes to be seated. They said they did not have my phone number but they did, not great communication from the front of house and there was only 1 hostess available.

Beauty & Essex is one of my Las Vegas favorites. The atmosphere is fun, and the music is just right as a precursor to a night out. The servers can be a little slow with cocktails, but overall service is great. Our water glasses were never empty and food was well-paced. As a group of 6, we ordered 10 different dishes and 2 sides. This is a family style / sharing type restaurant. We were hungry, but didn’t finish all the food. I would say a moderately hungry group could probably go with 6-7 dishes with 1-2 sides and be fine (assume 1/person + 1/4 of a side). The downside is most of the dishes that were the favorites, are those that only had one portion per person. In our party those were: chicken meatballs, grilled cheese dumplings, and the kale apple salad. Least favorites: French dip sliders, scallops, and the filet. Of the sides, we got French fries and broccolini- both great (get horseradish aioli with the fries if ranch is your usual go to). The drinks are good, but I didn’t see anything I found particularly creative and different from similar establishments. Beauty & Essex is great for groups due to the family style plates and atmosphere. It’s loud, so maybe not the place to have conversation with everyone at the table. However, if you need a place to eat before hitting the town Beauty & Essex has great food with an energizing ambiance.

This restaurant was a very pleasant surprise! Besides excellent food and service, it offered a unique Mexican menu with reasonable prices. Compared with other Mexican restaurants we have visited, it was welcoming and relaxing from the get-go. The drinks too were delicious and priced just right! We intend to visit this restaurant more often and make it our top favorite! Highly recommend !

They were a bit understaffed as per the waitress but everyone was pitching in to give us the best Christmas eve experience.

This family style restaurant is a great place to enjoy Italian comfort food. Our server started off by telling us the portions are huge, he wasn’t kidding. We ordered a Mista salad, spaghetti with meatballs, veal cutlets, and chocolate cannoli. I’m glad I asked if the cannoli was family style too because it is. We got a half order and couldn’t finish them. The food is great and the service is friendly but not overly intrusive. We will be back, with larger appetites or more people to help finish the plates.
