    Nachos
    Joelle C.

    Love the ambiance because of the jungle theme. A little dark but it was ok. The booth was spacious. Of all the food we ordered the nachos was my favorite. That was what I imagined a nacho would be like. The salad was good too but not the best but good enough. The pasta dish was like jambalaya except instead of rice it was noodles. It was a little bit spicy but good enough. They came to our table and took picture of us. $30 for one picture with picture frame or two for $50 or you can just buy the picture for $10 each. Service was pretty good.

    Huge burger!

    First time here! I tried to make a reservation but it would let me on their site so I walked up and had a party of 9. I was told there was a party of 103 upstairs and there would be a 15 minute wait. Our safari guide(waitress) Lisa was a 10! She was patient sweet and excellent waitress! The food was good no complaints.

    Steak and shrimp

    I came here not long before closing and they were still so sweet and accommodating to my kids and I. The decor I mean nothing beats it - such an experience! From the little storms throughout dinner to just the overall vibe wow. I had thought the food would be just okay bc of how overdone the decor is honestly but I was pleasantly surprised. My steak and coconut shrimp were PERFECT. My mash was great. My espresso martini was great. Everything was phenomenal. Would def go back!

    One of the few remaining Rainforest Cafes. Lot of fun memories as a kid, now passing those onto mine. The decor is definitely outdated but it still works and still brings the rainforest to life. Fun atmosphere for the kids. Staff were great, food is slightly on the salty side especially for the steak. Overall great experience and would highly recommend if you have kids!

    Cocktails (you can take the cups home!)

    Rainforest Cafe is one of my favorite family-style restaurants to visit. The atmosphere is so unique and lively with all the animatronics and thunderstorms. The servers were so friendly and attentive, but our experience was disturbed by a group of drunk youngsters who kept shouting, standing up, and walking around the dining area, which also disturbed the other diners and workers. The food was alright, but I think this was probably the blandest burger I've ever had in my entire life. Experience and service is 5/5, but the food is 1.5/5. Regardless, I'd still come back just for the experience!

    Volcano! Love the new rock candy rocks

    First time at the Vegas location. We had reservation for 9 and it all went well especially for a Saturday night. We arrived early and they were able to seat us earlier. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was good. Little weak on the volcano yell but it was a Father's Day celebration and not a birthday like the new set up of the volcano but still miss the real sparklers but obviously get that they need to be cautious. The food portions are still big and filling. Some of the animals are looking worn out. We had fun and the only down side is the parking it's sort of crazy to try to find the locator walking Through the mall then back outside and up the elevator back in a door and then to the restaurant area. There is a location on Harmon across the street as well but it's a hot walk in the heat.

    We stopped here to give the kids the real Rainforest Cafe experience. With all the Cafe's near us closed we found our vegas trip to be the perfect opportunity to take the kids. Listen, you come here for the experience- the food is good, not spectacular, not bad by any means. The decor, ambiance and occasional thunderstorm are what make Rainforest Cafe the fun it is. I ordered the Bimini Chicken Sandwich, which I found really enjoyable although I wouldn't be mad at more Hot Honey on the sandwich. As for service, our server Danger Dom was great, he was attentive, clear and didn't miss any of our needs. He delivered fantastic service. When it came time for the bill the manager came and explained the automatic gratuity, which I appreciated because I'm sure a lot of out-of-towners could be surprised by it. For clarity, parties of 8 or more will have an 18% gratuity added to their bill. No big deal for us and perfectly reasonable. the dining room and restrooms were clean, food was good, service was excellent. If you have small children/toddlers I would give them a heads up of the "thunderstorms" that feature darkened lights, bright flashes and sounds of thunder and animals that could be surprising for them.

    BIMINI CHICKEN

    Grown daughters wanted to go because of nostalgia. It's still the same inside-if not a little tired looking. Food is mediocre at best. Had a stomachache all night afterwards. I had the Bimini Chicken:(Caribbean fried chicken, hot honey sauce, island rice, seasonal vegetables, coconut curry tropical slaw) Chicken was okay, slaw didn't have much flavor. I was told the drinks were good, I had soda. Would I go back? No. But fun for a one time reminiscing thing of when we had one in Downtown Disney. Service was fine.

    Family and friends visiting in town. We went to a rainforest cafe based on a concert that some of the visitors were going to see "5 seconds of summer" aka 5 sauce at PH. It took so long to get our waitress we had to ask somebody to go fetch her. Fun place but not as lush as it was when it was at the MGM. The menu is great for visitors with a free glass to take home with you and refills for 10 bucks each that all pack a punch. I went with the bbq burger with fries that was not great but solid. Once our entrees were served by some kitchen staff, the waitress did not come back at that time to make sure everything was OK and if we needed anything else. Two of the five of us were already ready for a refill and it took about 10 - 15 minutes before she showed back up... Ultimately loss to the restaurant for alcohol sales because we would've had a third round if there was someone refilling drinks. We had a birthday celebration with the staff singing happy birthday. A step down from the old space but still a fun little spot. Once you finish, they give you a receipt and you go downstairs to get your actual to go glasses brand new without residue of alcohol or wetness. They officially are just outside of the miracle mile, but you can park in the miracle mile parking lot to get there just fine. And of course, if you have young ones, they will love everything that's going on. If it wasn't for the ambience, I would've given three out of five for the big gaps in service.

    Kids fettuccine Alfredo

    We came for Easter Monday dinner with my family and in-laws after a day of walking around the strip, Circus Circus (for the games and midway), NY NY, and the Excalibur. During our multiple excursions, I had mentioned to my wife and kids on Easter night that there was a Rainforest Cafe nearby. My older ones were too young to remember the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney (which has since been closed for many years), so this was a treat for them. So, when I wasn't paying attention, she booked a reservation. She quickly hurried us up at the Excalibur to get back to our car at NY NY when she told us about our reservation. We made it to the restaurant with about 30 minutes to spare, so we did some shopping at their gift shop. There were animatronic figures downstairs and when we moved upstairs to the seating area, there were even more. It was great when the "sky" turned dark and the thunder clapped and the animals all came to life! My little one was amazed. We got seated, all 8 of us, and our "guide," Safari Steve, told me that with our large party there was an automatic 18% gratuity which I had no choice but to agree to. Steve, however, was just excellent! I forgot about the gratuity and just focused on his recommendations and interactions with my kids and family. It was close to closing time but he had the same enthusiasm as if it were opening. I asked if tonight was a slow night and he emphatically said that "every night is a busy night..." Our drinks got served quickly and we ordered the Awesome Appetizer Adventure appetizer sampler. The day's activities must've taken a toll because the whole platter was demolished in about 10 minutes, which was enough to get us settled (my little one was getting hangry (just like his mom, shhhhh)) until our main entrees arrived. My wife ordered the Chile Lime Salmon and Shrimp which, by both our account and Steve's, was their best dish. It really was good and I will order this next time. I got the Taste of the Islands which came with two types of shrimp, tilapia, rice and veggies. It was a good second choice, but the Salmon was better. I debated between it and the pork chops. Luckily, my father-in-law ordered the chops, so I got to sample it. It was good and flavorful, but a little dry. Even Steve warned me that chops tend to get dry, no matter who cooks it. My mother-in-law and stepdaughter both got the fish and chips. The portions were huge so both couldn't finish their plates. In retrospect, they would've gotten something else. (My mother-in-law really wanted the ribs, so guess she should've gone with her gut (pun intended)...). My oldest boy got the club sandwich which Steve thought might be too big for him. But, being the competitive 12 year old that he is, he devoured it (was this reverse psychology???). My other boys got the cheeseburger, delish as he said, and the fettuccine Alfredo (my middle son said he wanted 3 more plates it was that good!), respectively. It was a night of fun, good food, good company, family and a wonderful server/guide named Steve. Sure, it's Vegas and you're going to spend no matter what. But when my wife asked what was the best part of our Easter vacation, I had to admit, it was the Rainforest Cafe. And I'd admit it, over and over again...

    We came here on Father's Day and we had a great experience! My parents have been wanting to take our 3 year old son to Rainforest cafe for a while so we decided that going last Sunday would be the best time to take him. We were immediately greeted by the friendly host who saw our son super excited to see all of the animals come to life. He immediately seated us near the elephants which our son loved so much. He was a little taken aback when the thunderstorm occurred but still enjoyed it. Our server was Ronnee and she was nice and attentive. She always came to our table frequently to check on us and fill our glasses. Our food came out hot and delicious. I do agree with the other yelp reviews that although the food is good... our intention was more for the experience since it was our son's first time here. One of the downfalls about the location of the restaurant (which it isn't the restaurant's fault) is that this place is on the second floor and confusing to get to. It's quite a walk from the parking garage at miracle mile shops, which parking is free for the first hour and then you're charged after that. When we walked through the mall and stepped outside to the strip, we found out the escalators to the restaurant were closed off and out of service. There was no access to an elevator either. My parents have bad knees so we had to find out how to get up to the second floor. It was not ADA friendly at all. Thankfully, we came across a very nice security guard who let us use the service elevator for my parents to get to the second floor with ease. Overall, we had a great time at Rainforest cafe. It was definitely nostalgic for me since I remember going to rainforest cafe when I was a kid. I was happy to share the same experience with our son.

    I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could! The ambience is obviously 10/10, its fun inside, they have a great patio looking the strip. Service was good! Our server was super nice, and very attentive. The drinks did take exceptionally long but that was not his fault. Food overall was so/so. I think the food was extremely overpriced for what it was. It did not come out super hot. The chicken was dry, lack of sauce on the pasta. Nothing really blew us away. That being said, I know people arent necessarily coming here for amazing food it is more about the experience which is why I would give it 3.5 stars.

    I really enjoyed eating at this Rainforest Café. The last Rainforest Café I ate at was the one in Disney World's Animal Kingdom. After my family and I visited the Arte Museum, my daughter saw the Rainforest Café in a shopping plaza across the street from the Aria. We were hungry for dinner and decided to go eat at the Rainforest Café, a few days before New Years Eve! The Rainforest Café is located in the Harmon Retail Center. It's right near Bubba Gump Shrimp and Cocolini. When my family and I asked if there was any availability for four, the team member at the front mentioned a 40 minute wait for a table. At first we were going to not go due to the wait, but we decided to put our name on the list and look at the stores nearby. I provided my cell phone for text messaging. We first decided to explore the gift shop inside the Rainforest. The atmosphere inside the retail village included themed merchandise and souvenirs. We ended up purchasing a few small toys while waiting. Luckily, after only 10 minutes, we received a text message stating that our table was ready! We were pleasantly surprised! The table seating is upstairs. It felt like you were transported into a tropical rainforest environment. There was verdant jungle foliage to animatronic animals with periodic simulated thunderstorms. It felt like an adventure dining here. There are unique features such as Tracy the Talking Tree, Nile the Crocodile, and more! We had a seat in the middle of the restaurant which was amazing since we were able to view the entire environment. The restaurant is beautiful! Looking over the menu, the menu had a lot of options from pastas, burgers, seafood, steaks, and salads. There are signature items like the Rasta Pasta which includes coconut shrimp. There is also a bar area on the first floor, the Lava Lounge, where you can enjoy themed cocktails. We decided to order the following Appetizer: Awesome Appetizer Adventure: Chimi Cha Chas, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, fried Wisconsin cheddar cheese curds, chicken strips Kids Menu: Safari Sirloin: Steak Tips, Safari Fries and Mashed Potatoes, Milk Entree: Amazon Fajitas: Grilled onions, bell peppers, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, pico de gallo, Jasmine rice, black beans, flour tortillas Combo (Beef and Chicken) Tuki's Turkey Club: BLT, shaved turkey breast, Swiss cheese (No Mayo) For Dessert: Sparkling Volcano: chocolate brownie and chocolate cake stacked up high, served warm, with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, chocolate and caramel sauces, candy rocks, cookie pieces, sprinkles While waiting for the appetizer, we had a chance to look at the restaurant. It was fairly busy with a lot of other customers. After waiting about 40 minutes, we asked our waiter what happened to the Appetizer. The order was put in wrong and the appetizer ended up coming out with the entrees. It worked out, but we were hungry for awhile! By the time the entrees arrived it was about an hour later. My husband and I split the Fajitas. I really enjoyed the chicken. It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. There was a side of rice, beans, and all of the ingredients needed to make an amazing wrap! The beef was just okay. It was a little tough. It was a perfect meal to split though! My daughter liked the Kids Sirloin steak, but there wasn't much to the meal. Luckily we had the appetizer that had chicken strips and other items that came out with the entrée! The Wisconsin cheddar cheese curds were my favorite. My mom enjoyed the Turkey club. After the entrees, the Sparkling Volcano sounded like a lot of fun and we decided to order that for dessert, sharing it! The chocolate brownie and chocolate cake was huge! There was a decoration that looked like sparklers in the middle of the cake! It was perfect to split with four members as there was two scoops of ice cream, two scoops of whipped cream, and the cake! It was delicious! I had an amazing time at this Rainforest café and the price wasn't too bad either! Local discounts are not accepted. Service here was good, though our order wasn't 100% accurate, the food was still great! This restaurant was a awesome experience!

    See all

    No. It's next to Planet Hollywood You can park across the street, it's cheaper. 3717 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

    Where is the best place to park? Is parking free?

    I parked in the Miracle Mile Shops parking garage. 1st hour was free. But pretty expensive after that 1st hour. I wasted almost 10 minutes to find a parking space, then another 15 to 20 minutes wasted because you have to walk through the Miracle… 

    Where is the parking located?

    We were there just last week and parked in the parking garage at the Miracle Mile Shops. It's not a very long walk at all from there.

    What Hotel are you located in?

    We are located inside of the Harmon Retail Corner.

    We visited Parlour Brunch and Late Night Burger Bar in Vegas, and the atmosphere was warm, cozy,…read moreand inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict with arugula and roasted tomato salad, and I'd give it an 8/10. The Benedict was a little salty for my taste, but thankfully, it didn't overpower the other flavors. The seasoning and hollandaise sauce complemented the dish really well. My father ordered the exact same thing and absolutely loved it. My mother went with the Mexican Avocado Toast, which she rated a 7.8/10. She also found it slightly salty, and the dish was a little cheesier and oilier than she preferred. Since she isn't a big fan of cheese, that affected her overall rating. However, she still enjoyed it enough to finish her meal. My wife ordered the Chicken & Waffle Mac, which was definitely an interesting and creative take on the classic chicken and waffles. Having macaroni incorporated into the waffle made the dish unique. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and she gave it an 8/10. Thinking there wasn't any macaroni with her entrée, my wife also ordered a side of Cheesy Macaroni. She was pleasantly surprised by it and gave it a 9/10.

    A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

    Stopped by for a quick brunch since we were in the downtown area. The restaurant was full so we had…read moreto wait for about 20 minutes before being seated. It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

We were enjoying the music and it was a vibe until it came to pay the bill. At 9:30 PM, a full 30 minutes before the posted closing time of 10:00 PM, the staff began rushing us out while my wife was still eating. When it came time to pay our bill, our bank cards were temporarily unavailable due to a system outage. We had the money. This was not a financial issue. It was a technical one we were actively working to resolve. Instead of being given a moment, security surrounded our table and treated us as though we were attempting to leave without paying. We were not. We never attempted to leave. I want to note that a couple of the security members were actually kind and professional throughout. A manager then approached with immediate hostility white male, tattoos, wearing a white crop shirt, and beige pants) no introduction, and no interest in hearing our explanation. I want to Emphasize That everyone working there refused to give me his name (white male) I even attempted to ask him and he walked away. He made demeaning remarks about our finances and specifically told us that if we didn't pay, he would call the police and trespass us, but if we paid, he would not. We paid. My brother sent $30 via Zelle directly to a security staff member to settle the bill. It was paid in full. He called the police anyway. And trespassed us anyway. I had offered to leave my ID as collateral, leave card information on file, or return the next morning. Every offer was refused before we even got to that point. The responding officers acknowledged his behavior was inappropriate. His own staff was visibly uncomfortable. Unless you are prepared to be treated as a suspect over something completely outside your control, I would think twice before dining here.

Bacon Nation slaps slices on just about everything but French toast, and even that can be topped with bacon butter and bacon-infused syrup. The build-your-own omelet is a worthy breakfast, stuffed with two veggies and two meats of your choice. Cheddar, diced onion, and two types of bacon inside three eggs was a winner. Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal. And unlike those anorexic slices that fast food places put on their burgers, you can actually taste this bacon. Open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., they serve lunch too and if you're in 'growling stomach mode', try the Boarrito but be forewarned - this is a pork-fest of a monstrosity that's not designed for consumption by weight watchers or thoroughbred jockeys. A large tortilla filled with ham, sausage, bacon crumbles, pulled pork, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo is then wrapped on the outside with countless slices of more bacon, smothered with cheese sauce and sour cream...now I need to take a nap just thinking about digesting it. It's a massive meal and I feel like the waitress could have positioned me on all fours in front of a feeding trough in order to graze on it. Bacon Nation is located on the D's second floor inside a very clean and bright dining room with lots of booths, a counter, and an ultra-pleasant hostess named Angel. In summary, a well-earned 5 oink review is deserving because their food is that darn good. "Everywhere there's lots of piggies, living piggy lives.

It was super filling and exactly what we needed to recharge. Service was a bit slow, and our bride-to-be didn't receive her food until several minutes after everyone else. We also waited quite a while for the check and were met with a little sass, which felt off. Overall, the food was great, but the service could definitely use some improvement.
