Even if you’re traveling for the holidays, you can still have Christmas dinner in Las Vegas. Or maybe you live in Las Vegas and have decided to give the gift of a clean kitchen. In either event, you may be wondering if any restaurants will be open Christmas Eve or Christmas day… maybe both. And the answer is yes!
Here are some suggestions for restaurants serving a more traditional Christmas meal in Vegas… as well as some that are far less conventional. The point is that you should be able to find what you’re looking for, even during the biggest holiday of the year. However, reservations are typically required so call ahead.
