    Cliff Notes Price Range: $$$ Parking: We ubered Perk: Drinks Non-Perk: Paying Ambiance: Classy Dress: Business Casual Noise: low/Med Recommend: 100% Response Time: N/A Professionalism: 100% Dissertation: I walked in for dinner and immediately felt underdressed by my own standards, which is always a promising start. The ambiance is gorgeous, lively, and just dramatic enough to make your cocktail feel important. The food was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly allergic to being basic. Everything felt polished without being pretentious, which is a delicate little miracle in Las Vegas. Overall, it was delicious, stylish, and fun. I left full, happy, and slightly worried my regular dinner plans may now need professional help.

    WEST COAST OYSTERS*

    Fun Mexican restaurant at the Wynn! Stopped in for a late dinner, booths were super comfortable and the table side salsa was excellent. Ordered the oysters, tuna tartare, and queso dip with chorizo. The server Maria & Ricardo were very helpful and Justin, the manager, was super friendly and stopped by our table to ensure we have everything we needed.

    Green Rice... It's amazing!!

    FAB-U-LOUS! It was a girls night out so we splurged and hit the strip. From start to finish, we enjoyed every moment at Casa Playa. First... Chef Sarah Thompson... Is Remarkable! (She's a James Beard Award winner, you know.) She "nose" what people want. Great vibes... ambiance and decor! (There is the most adorable black n white picture of a donkey as you enter the restaurant. She took that picture and you just want to BOOP that snoot. Actually, as I understand it... she took all the pictures that are hung in the restaurant. She really is an artist in lots of ways.) She also KNOWS flavors and textures! I almost licked the dishes. All Of Them. I did not, of course, because this is an upscale dining experience and decorum dictates that I mind my manners. Full disclosure, I did lick my glassware tho... there was salt and seasonings on our drinks so it was acceptable. ha! The drinks are amazing! Careful tho.... while they go down smooth... there is Alcohol in them so imbibe responsibly. I am definitely going back to have another Wild Card.... in the simplest of terms... it's a pineapple margarita with a hint of heat. I loved it and if I wasn't driving, I would have had more than 1. If I had to pick a favorite... I would fail. We really enjoyed everything... my top faves are... I loved the Branzino... if you like Branzino even a little... order this. It's spectacular. The Maitaki mushroom in blanco mole... it's everything you want in mushrooms... "meaty", tender, flavorful, umami-ness... The scallops... The scallops were huge... succulent. Oh and the Green Rice. I don't know what is in this.. I mean... Rice ... yes.. probably garlic, cilantro and other magic... it's Fantastic and a definite must. It's a side and definitely enough for 3 people to share. The Purse Chair... super cute and considerate. Thanks to Chef Thompson and the entire Casa Playa team for a wonderful night out. We will be back!

    Winner of my latest Vegas trip, this place was absolutely excellent!!! Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and the flavor concepts. Really top notch service. The ambiance was what I have come to expect from a "New Mexican" joint, but it made for a nice energy and felt lively. The food and drinks were out of this world though! I had myself a nice tiki drink to accompany an array of excellent seafood. The table favorite was the delicious seafood tower, it only closely followed by the calamari which was in this savory and super spicy poblano paste that was to die for. Then I had the Tilefish for my entree, but we all agreed the Branzino was the best entree on the table. All of it was excellent tho! And let's not forget the table side salsa :) Highly recommend especially if you are going to Sphere as it's right there!

    Service was wonderful. Everyone very attentive. The ambiance was great too. Food was spectacular but little details missing. For example the queso fundido with chorizo was wonderful and tortillas hand made but no salsa provided to add a bit flavor or spice. I ordered a tostado with vegetables and mole but it needed a little something. A sour cream or salsa. But it was good. Same with branzino. Delicious with tortillas but could use a little lemon, cream or salsa if you turn it into a taco. Tres leches was wonderful. Overall great food but could have used a bit more if you are making a taco.

    FRIJOLES DE OLLA
    Alex M.

    In search of a lunch spot that didn't require us to leave the hotel and venture outside into the 100 degree heat, we came across Casa Playa in the lobby of the Wynn where we were attending a conference. While the restaurant appeared to only offer a brunch and dinner menu, we were informed that we could still order off the brunch menu. After putting our names down, we were seated right away. The dining room itself was spacious, and the decor was whimsical and eye catching; vibrant flowers seemed to rain down from the ceiling. Upon being seated, we quickly placed our orders - we shared some chips and guac - and I ordered the frijoles de olla as my main dish. To start off, the chips and guac really hit the spot. The guac was creamy with a slight kick from the sliced peppers, and the chips tasted fresh and homemade. I wasn't as much of a fan of the frijoles de olla; the sauce was too sweet, especially paired with the rich ricotta cheese filling. I think the menu would be strengthened by offering more savory options to cater to the lunch crowd.

    Very cute restaurant I loved the little fish motif above the bar. The food here is decent. I expected a little more for the price point but what do you expect from Las Vegas. I was a bit surprised there was no complimentary salsa service, they charge $20 for salsa but they do make it tableside for you. The octopus dish was a 3/5 in my opinion. It could have a nicer char with a more tender bite. I had Pisces octopus the next day and it had the perfect texture. The short rib was delicious but quite small of a portion. It was a cute place to visit but I think if I want high end Mexican food I'd rather go to toca madera or Amaya

    I ate lunch here earlier this week. I am not sure if the experience would have been better at night but I don't think I'll ever chance trying to find out. In town for business as I often am and had lunch at Casa Playa. At one point someone at our table asks if there can be no stars. My response was, this restaurant is beautiful so it will get one star for that. The majority of the negative review is based on the service...and a little on the food. You should be aware that they close the lunch kitchen at 1p. With a noon reservation that meant shortly after ordering our food at 12:45. The waitress asked us if we wanted to order desert because the kitchen was closing. Mind you we just ordered the food and nothing had come to the table yet. During lunch they only have one dessert which is churro. Finally we agreed to order a churro dessert. Of course before our meals came out someone came over to the table with churros. Terrible. They took them back and eventually the food came about 1:15. The food: we had apps of ceviche and salad and guacamole. The salad was fine. It was fine. A few people ordered the Chilaquiles. Everyone said they were spicy the could only stand a few bites. I actually ordered eggs with smashed potatoes and chicken sausage. I liked the sausage. The eggs had no seasoning and the potatoes were overdone and flavorless. But unseasoned food and dessert before the entrees were NOTHING compared to our rude ass waitress that I will not even call out because maybe she had a bad day. From the start everything we asked for was a problem for her and you would know it because if you can eye-roll as had as she was the entire time you would easily make yourself dizzy. We asked for a cocktail menu, tha was net with a sigh and an eye-roll. We asked for just about anything and what we received was an eye-roll. Getting explained about the kitchen closing and why the drinks were taking long. It was a bad day a bad experience. It was all bad. Except for the fact they had Fortaleza. That was great. The rest was not.

    the best half toasted chicken with homemade tortilas.
    Charis R.

    Casa Playa (at the Encore) is one of the most standout restaurant experiences we've had in Vegas thus far. I'm not surprised as I just learned the Executive Chef Sarah Thompson received the 2026 James Beard Award for Best Chef. The last time a Las Vegas Chef won in this category was in 2011. What we noticed about Casa Playa is it has more of a youthful scene. We exclusively stay at the Wynn so we're used to more of a mature crowd. That being said the music Casa Playa played was right up my alley (à la Rufus Du Sol) which instantly put me in a good mood. For dinks, we started off with some Perrier-Jouët which is one of my favorite champagnes, but we wanted to expand our palate for our second round of drinks. The sommelier Nicholas was fantastic! He gave us a generous amount of time helping us decide and learn more about the champagne world. I was truly touched by his passion and guidance. For food we had their housemade guacamole, gem lettuce salad and half roasted tamarind chicken. Everything was fantastic but their chicken was some of the best chicken we've ever had and it came with homemade tortillas. My husband and I rarely enjoy chicken and prefer red meat, but this stopped us dead in our tracks. We learned they marinate the chicken which yields incredible flavor and tenderness. We would have stayed longer to experience more of what they offer but had to head out for an event. This is one of those restaurants I must make room to dine at everytime we're in Vegas.

    AMERICAN WAGYU SHORT RIB SUADERO
    Cynthia L.

    Located at the Wynn, Casa Playa is described as 'Coastal Mexican" cuisine. My first visit was back in early 2022 and I wasn't too big of a fan. Now four years later, their menu was revamped (to me) and it was a much better experience. Unfortunately, they were running behind that night. We had our reservation booked for 7pm but didn't get seated until about 7:30pm. Thank goodness for their beautiful entrance. Perfect to take your social media/Instagram content. My husband and I ordered the following: HOUSEMADE GUACAMOLE $19: wish this was made tableside but it was not. Flavoring was alright....could use a bit more salt and spice. Portion was fine, it's good for only two people though. MEXICAN BLUE SHRIMP CEVICHE $29: this was fantastic! I would totally order this as an entree. This dish was refreshing, full of flavor. AMERICAN WAGYU SHORT RIB SUADERO $59: another dish that can be shared between two adults. Wagyu short rib melts in your mouth, meat was so juicy. Come with a side of salsa verde, onions and cilantro as well as shishito peppers. We were able to make about four tacos with plenty of meat left over. Delicious! We also ordered a cocktail and a mocktail. Our server Ricky was attentive throughout the night and he even bought out a little complimentary chocolate dessert since he knew we were celebrating our belated Valentine's Day dinner.

    Chilasquilas
    Nikki T.

    I'm only writing this in hopes that someone in management might consider revisiting the chilaquiles recipe. Unfortunately, this was one of the least enjoyable chilaquiles dishes I've ever had. The bowl was filled almost entirely with tortilla chips covered in salsa, while eggs, protein, and even avocado were all additional charges. If 80% of the chips were removed and replaced with eggs or a more substantial topping, I think the dish would be much more balanced. I don't mind paying extra for protein, but it felt wasteful to serve such a large quantity of chips. Realistically, who can finish an entire bag of corn chips for breakfast? My favorite chilaquiles are more like a hearty, flavorful stew over lightly crisped chips, where the ingredients come together as a complete dish. This version felt more like chips drenched in green salsa than a thoughtfully prepared breakfast. That said, everything else about our experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was great, and our servers were attentive, friendly, and delightful. I'm sharing this feedback simply because I believe this dish has the potential to be much better.

    Is the weekend ayce brunch still available?

    Sadly, it is not :(

    Are there vegetarian options?

    Yes there is a vegan vegetarian menu with a lot of great options like avocado tacos, vegan enchiladas, etc.

    Are there gluten free options available?

    The majority of the Casa Playa menu is gluten free and safe for someone with Celiac disease.

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

    The the great majority of the Casa Playa menu is gluten free and safe for someone with Celiac disease. Cross contamination is a non issues as Casa Playa does not serve flour tortilla or any gluten based dishes.

    Gluten free items? Homemade tortillas.. are they corn?

    Homemade tortillas are corn.

A resounding YES was the reply when we asked if it was still happy hour (at 536pm). Happy Hour (Daily) is 3 PM - 6 PM with $7 fancy margaritas and snacks including ceviche, guac, queso, empanadas and chicken or carnitas street tacos. We were hungry and thirsty.

Salsa thin and almost smooth, with clear pieces of roasted red jalapeno pepper yes chipotle baby! Busy solo, our bartender eventually came around for our drink orders, and we both chose fancy margaritas. My Black (Berry) and Basil may have been the perfect cocktail ever.

When he was about half done the bartender came around with extra and filled his glass again. Leftovers from the shaker, OH Yeah! While munching on the chips and salsa we decided on the chicken street tacos and the shrimp ceviche. The ceviche came in a small bowl with a huge pile of more chips. We probably could have eaten two orders of the shrimp part though! Rough chopped shrimp, peppers, onions tomatoes and a light broth were perfect on this hot day. The tacos were small on very soft fresh corn tortillas with a good portion of shredded chicken tinga. I was able to add the avocado that my husband removed from his ceviche and round out these tacos, which were only topped with cheese and sauce. Maybe some cabbage would be good here? These were just ok but I was hungry. Alas, the potent concoctions were enough that I only required one. I really wanted to get the spicy mango margarita too. Which will necessitate another visit to La Neta for happy hour again on our way back through town in a month!

They were busy on a Sunday though! It's a small family run business, pretty much the opposite of a corporate chain. If you wanted to familiarize yourself or revisit some of your favorites from Oaxaca, this might be a good spot to do so. Their salsas are good, their chips are not. :/ They give you a paltry amount and the chips seem a bit stale. The teens working are in absolute hell (read: they don't wanna be there) and it shows, which is unfortunate because I think the father is genuinely trying. The restaurant is on the smaller side, the menu looks more exciting than it was practically speaking. I ordered their weekend lamb birria and while it was fair, it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It comes with cabbage, a very spicy green salsa, real corn tortillas, a smidgen of broth (they could be more generous with their broth and chips, both, if they switch the chips to a fresher variety). They also had chapulines (grasshoppers), mole, and a bunch of specialties on the menu that I didn't get to try. I used to work at my father's restaurant when I was a teen and now I see how that must have reflected on his customers. Unhappy teens may be required help when you can't hire staff but they reflect poorly on the experience. I'd say give Sabores a try with tempered expectations if you've been looking for Oaxacan food in Las Vegas. The father was friendly but not to me, even though I greeted him in Spanish. I'm Mexican and present as white, so I think I got treated like a gringa which sucks. :(
