The story
Perched inside The STRAT Tower at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, Top of the World offers something genuinely rare: a dining room that completes a full 360-degree revolution every 80 minutes, keeping the glittering sprawl of the Las Vegas valley in constant, unhurried motion outside every window. The experience is as much about where you are as what arrives at the table.
The menu is built around an award-winning selection of steaks and seafood, rounded out with fresh, seasonal ingredients. It is the kind of cooking that earns lasting recognition — Wine Spectator has granted the restaurant its Award of Excellence for 27 consecutive years, a streak that speaks to the seriousness of the cellar as much as the kitchen. A corkage fee of $50 per bottle applies for guests who bring their own selections.
The restaurant has also been recognized locally and nationally: the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nevada Magazine, TripAdvisor, and OpenTable have all taken notice, and in 2019 Top of the World received Best of Las Vegas Awards for Best Fine Dining, Best View, and Most Romantic Spot — three categories that together capture exactly what the place delivers.
Dinner is the focus, with seatings beginning in the late afternoon. A minimum food purchase of $55 per guest is required, and the restaurant enforces an upscale dress code — no athletic wear, hats, tank tops, or flip-flops. The elevated standard of dress matches the elevation of the room itself, somewhere around the 800-foot mark above street level.
For private gatherings, the venue accommodates large parties and catered events, making it a well-suited setting for celebrations that call for a backdrop that does the work for you.
