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.

The food here is great. We have eaten here in the past. But they are closed for seasonal maintenance on 76 2026 not sure when they're gonna open back up again.

Mole poblano tostada
George T.

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.

Seafood Platter

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!

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.

I had a great experience at Casa Playa. The table side salsa (medium spice) was the best salsa I've ever had! The fish was creative and flavorful. My favorite dish was the scallops - so flavorful. It's also beautiful inside.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just tried Casa Playa at the Wynn--new coastal Mexican spot that's straight-up gorgeous. The vibe? Chic, breezy, like Baja met Vegas luxury: think orange flower chandeliers, lush palms, and that massive stone head greeting you at the door. I went for the Surf & Turf--Wagyu carne asada, lobster, jumbo shrimp, short rib suadero, pork belly al pastor, all piled on with serrano kick. Melt-in-your-mouth beef, perfect char on the seafood... honestly, it was ridiculous how good. Mikey our waiter? Total pro knew the menu inside-out, kept things fun without hovering. Made the whole night feel effortless. Definitely heading back. Five stars, no question. [Here are a couple shots of the place and that epic plate makes me hungry just looking!]

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

Brazing  sarandiado flavors were very good solid 9.5/10
Mario G.

Let me start with the amazing service provided by the very friendly amazing Antonio and management. Antonio was amazing very friendly, kind and attentive went above and beyond. He notice that our food took way took long and spoke with management. Management gracefully took care of us. They removed 2 item from our main dishes and gave us two free shots on top of that. (Mind you we did not complain about the food being late). Antonio noticed the problem and solved it with management. Thank you both. We greatly appreciate you guys. We order the following: Oyster on the half dozen. I would give it a 7.5/10 The beans were excellent just a touch too slaty (maybe there just that day) but somehow they were eatable but delicious 10/10 The rice was good (texture) but somehow it needs a bit of flavor 7/10 Brazing sarandiado flavors were very good solid 9.5/10 Lamb was very, very tender and flavorful the dish it self was on another level solid 11/10 Review as May 23, 2026 The ambience was perfect. Music volume was good enough to be able to have a conversation and still enjoy the music played in the background. The decor was different and very well lit. Over all I will definitely recommend Casa Playa and ask for Antonio. Highly recommend making reservations before going there or you will wait about an hour if not more of course depending on the time you're going.

Is the weekend ayce brunch still available?

Sadly, it is not :(

Are there vegetarian options?

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.

We are in Las Vegas again, this time for a conference. So, where did we enjoy dinner tonight,…read moreJoe's Seafood, Prime Steak, and Stone Crabs. Yes, we made a beeline to one of our favorite eateries in Vegas. We love eating in Joe's Mall Cafe, a place where you can see and be seen. It is located just off the bar area with a view of Forum mall shops, Joe's is like an old standard bearer, it is always steady and never disappointing. We were hoping to catch up with out favorite server, Steven. Unfortunately, he had the day off, good for him! Our server tonight, Dean, was great. Welcoming and attentive and offering good men item suggestions. We started the evening with Sauvignon Blanc and glasses of ice tea. Next up were our appetizers, We went with Lump Crab Cakes and Stone. Crab claws. Both were delicious!! Our entrees consisted of the Seafood Platter (lobster, prawns, scallops), and the Seafood Chopped Salad (prawns and romaine). My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed both. The seafood in both dishes were perfectly grilled and succulent. I added Joe's cole slaw with my entree. It turned out to be a nice addition. Dean, our server, talk us into dessert. For the uninitiated, desserts at Joe's are huge. So we opted for half slices of banana cream pie and key lime pie to go. Yes, we will be back!

Space in clean and bright. Service was fast, even though every table was taken and several bar seats, with to go orders coming in too. We went on our way to a show at the Smith center and will definitely be back next time we have a show! Now let's talk about the food. We ordered 2 tacos and the ceviche sampler. Out the door it was $50-55 after tax and tip. The tacos were DELICIOUS. We ate them so quickly that we didn't even get a picture. They came out hot and gooey but didn't fall apart. The flavors were remarkable. The ceviche was next level. There were 3 different vibes. 1) a traditional ceviche flavor with citrus and a bit of a bite. 2) a cocktail sauce sort of flavor that was light and refreshing and a nice counter part to the sharpness of the traditional. 3) a sesame oil type flavor that was also light and refreshing but with a deeper toasty flavor to it. We argued over which one was the best, not with each other, but with ourselves! Because every time we took a bite of a different one we were sure THAT was the best one... Until we took another bite of the one next to it. I appreciate that the amount of chips was perfect for the ceviche, not feeling like we had leftover of ceviche or chips and had to eat disproportionate amounts of one or the other for any bites. There were two of us, and we were both very hungry. We finished off all food, and we walked away exactly and perfectly full and SLIGHTLY stuffed (we didn't feel sick but might have if we had eaten a couple more bites). Our only problem that we have been arguing over is when we go back, do we get the same items because we loved them so so so much? Or do we try something new?
