Las Vegas, also known as “Sin City,” is the entertainment capital of the world and gambling paradise in the United States. These names are justified, as the Nevada city is famous for its casinos and wild nightlife. Since we don’t just want to immerse ourselves in the nightlife, but also want to spend the days in an enjoyable and exciting way, we will guide you through the city and show you which spots you shouldn’t miss!

Is it expensive in Las Vegas?

A city trip to Las Vegas is often cheaper than you think. Even in the famous hotels on the Strip, you can sometimes find rooms for under $100 a night, which is significantly cheaper than in cities like Los Angeles or San Francisco. We'll show you culinary highlights in Las Vegas that are more than just right in terms of price! We highlight the top lunch spots, from authentic Chinese noodle dishes to world-class dim sums. Stay tuned for more articles with more Hidden Gems and the best dinner spots in the City of Lights.

Las Vegas, the glittering oasis in the middle of the Nevada desert, is known for more than just its casinos, shows and vibrant nightlife. The city has become a foodie mecca in recent years, attracting gourmets from all over the world. From authentic, handmade noodles to exquisite dim sums, culinary Las Vegas offers an impressive variety of aromas and flavors. In this article, I'll take you on a culinary journey to my favorite lunch spots in Las Vegas. And stay tuned – another article with the best dinner spots is coming soon!

Tip 1: Shang Artisan Noodles

Our first stop is Shang Artisan Noodles, a must for lovers of authentic Chinese cuisine. Here you will not only encounter greats such as René Frank and the guys from Nobelhart & Schmutzig, but also handmade noodles served in delicious broths. The menu lives up to its promise - a culinary experience not to be missed.

Tip 2: Noodlehead

Continue on to Noodlehead, a street food-style restaurant that offers modern interpretations of classic noodle dishes from all over Asia. Whether ramen, pho or udon - everyone will find something to their taste here. The creative yet authentic cuisine makes Noodlehead a highlight on my list.

Tip 3: Shanghai Taste

Our last lunch spot is Shanghai Taste, famous for its first-class "Xiao Long Bao", the famous dim sums. These delicate dumplings are a real treat and an absolute must when you are in Las Vegas. The combination of first-class ingredients and masterful preparation makes every bite an experience.

The Personal Touch

Italian rituals, as told by the people behind Portrait Hotels

With its new ongoing editorial series ‘The Personal Touch’, Portrait Hotels turns its attention to the individuals who shape the character of its properties in Milan, Florence and Rome: hosts, concierges, chefs, bartenders and members of the lifestyle team, whose stories, rituals and local perspectives become part of the Portrait Experience.

The focus is on personal insights, everyday Italian culture and those small gestures that turn a stay into more than just a trip. Rather than simply showcasing places, the series tells the stories of the people, memories and traditions that define the Italian way of life.

The Delta Effect reaches Hangar-7

In July 2026, George Papazacharias, head chef at the acclaimed Delta restaurant in Athens, will bring his interpretation of modern Greek cuisine to Salzburg. At Restaurant Ikarus in Hangar-7, he will demonstrate why, in culinary terms, Greece has long been more than just moussaka, souvlaki and holiday memories, and how radically contemporary local produce can taste.

‘Dings’ as a hidden champion

In everyday life, we are one thing above all else: wonderfully pragmatic.

Have you ever found yourself standing at a beach kiosk during your summer holiday, saying: ‘I’d like two scoops of that… er… that ice cream thing over there”? Congratulations, you’ve just used what is arguably the most important word in the German language.
