Spago by Wolfgang Puck

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Wolfgang Puck's Flagship, Reimagined

Spago by Wolfgang Puck at the Bellagio is credited with helping transform Las Vegas into a serious dining destination. This is not a satellite outpost running on a famous name — it's the restaurant that, as the Bellagio itself puts it, "ignited Las Vegas's dining scene into a culinary epicenter." The current incarnation arrives with an entirely new look, a new menu, and the same level of service that built the original reputation.

The Room and the View

The design was a collaboration between Gelila Puck and Italian architects Massimiliano Locatelli and Annamaria Scevola of CLS Architetti, drawing inspiration from Spago's original Beverly Hills flagship. Floor-to-ceiling floating glass windows frame the main dining room, delivering unobstructed views of Bellagio's famous lake and fountains. Two statement chandeliers anchor the space, while black iron, velvet walnut, and polished grey finishes give the room a contemporary edge that stops short of cold. The terrace positions guests directly in front of the Bellagio Fountains for al fresco dining that few Las Vegas restaurants can match.

The Food and the Cellar

The menu is rooted in California-inflected American cuisine, shaped week to week by the kitchen team's visits to the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. At lunch and dinner, that translates to handmade pastas, wood-oven pizzas, fresh seafood, all-natural meats, and prime steaks — a range that keeps the cooking grounded without being predictable. During Restaurant Week, the prix fixe format has featured dishes like Heirloom Tomato Salad, Tuna Tataki, Pan Roasted Salmon, and Wood Roasted Duroc Pork, with optional wine pairings.

That wine program earned Spago a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence — recognition that reflects genuine depth and curation, not just a long list. On weekends, the brunch service adds a livelier dimension: fountains, a DJ, and the same kitchen quality that drives the dinner menu.

Why It Belongs Here

Spago represents a specific kind of ambition — fine American dining delivered at scale, without sacrificing the details that matter. The setting is spectacular, the sourcing is deliberate, and the Wine Spectator award signals a cellar taken seriously. For anyone eating well in Las Vegas, it remains a meaningful address.
