    This restaurant inside The Cosmopolitan was the perfect spot to stop at for bite to eat before a show. The restaurant was busy on a friday night, but we were sat quickly with our reservation. Who doesn't love a place that has low lit vibes and a great choice of music? We order a bunch of things off the menu, but Chef Javi's recommendations hit the spot and has us wanting to come back for more, but this time with a bigger group of people to try their infamous Paella's! The entire staff was very attentive from beginning to end. Oh , and did I forget to say the mocktails were delicious!!!

    Birthday month last month. Visited this restaurant with a friend. Everything we ordered was amazing! We wanted to try their paella, but serving was too big for 2 people. I saw a different type of paella with squid ink, wow! I want it again. Their calamares with squid ink aioli was wonderful, scallops were wonderful too! Their Iberico cone was really tiny but packed a lot of flavor. Their gambas were good, not as great as the rest. Their dessert was also a 10/10. We can't wait to come back for their conchinillo experience!

    Tasting menu quite enjoyable but just be aware that Jose Andres is a bit of an amateur chef who over seasons most every dish. Lot of salt everywhere. Still liked it especially the gazpacho and the steak.

    I've been holding off coming to this place because I have a great affinity for Jose Andres and all who come from the powerful Adria culinary lineage. It's one of those situations in life where you come in with such positive preconceptions that you don't want it to be ruined in any way. I can happily report this place lives up to the expectations. You must come here during sangria hour (very happy). This is by far the best value I've had on strip. $4-10 a plate for this quality of food is unbelievable. I came prepared to drop serious money and my wallet could not outrace my appetite. The service was really special. I expressed regret in a second language about the dissapearance of an old menu item and the waitress picked up on it immediately and asked what I was looking for. She said they would have it custom made no problem. It was the pan con tomate with boquerones. The anchovies being marinated in vinegar instead of oil is phenomenal. So good and the service so nice that we ordered twice. They could've overcharged for an off-menu item but they didn't and that takes restraint and respect. I've been to vegas so many times and I've been up and down spring mountain road and the strip to some of the best restaurants in these areas for the past 10 years. I always try to have one nice meal on the strip and in all my experiences this is up there with L'Atelier when it comes to fine dining but still feeling full and satiated. If you're like me and when you think of dessert you want cheese, the basque cheesecake dessert here is probably the best meal finisher I've had in years. Please get it and leave some for the next days breakfast. The one area for improvement was the weakness of the sangria. Seemed a bit watered down, though the frozen version was great. I already had a smile on my face but seeing old clips of Made in Spain playing in the background really sealed the deal. I'll be back Jaleo, never change.

    I always love a good excuse to get tapas, and Jaleo looked like the perfect spot to indulge. Vegas has its fair share of celebrity chef-driven restaurants, and this one is led by Chef José Andrés himself, located inside The Cosmopolitan. The setting is upscale yet warm and unpretentious, with an energetic vibe that makes it the perfect spot for a memorable, shared dining experience. Our dinner included the following: Spanish white anchovies with pan de cristal, Jamón Serrano, grilled chicken thigh with ajillo sauce and black garlic purée, charcoal-grilled octopus with potatoes and tomato confit, and shrimp sautéed with garlic and served with flauta bread. We also shared a pitcher of their white sangria, which came highly recommended and is a true tapas staple. Everything we had was spectacular and reflective of Chef Andrés' culinary prowess in showcasing authentic Spanish cuisine on the Strip. Service was excellent and attentive, with our waiter keeping the pacing of our meal just right and checking on us regularly. We certainly felt the hospitality throughout the lively and welcoming atmosphere.

    Welcome to Jaleo brought to you by Chef Jose Andres, housed in The Cosmopolitan Hotel. This is a Spanish restaurant bringing you authentic paella's cooked over open fire, assorted tapas, delicious sangria's, steaks, seafood, and great desserts. Customer service from every employee is just stellar. Food is served in small portions so can you enjoy many different items. A simple standout was a shaved fennel and apple salad with walnuts and bits of manchego cheese. Great atmosphere with comfortable seating. I would definitely go back to enjoy so much more on this delectable menu. Highly recommend

    Ambiance: it's a nice restaurant but nothing outstanding about the interior design. it was lively without being loud Service: service was great! server was knowledgable. also it was my friends bday and the detail they put in for her was super nice! Food: We got 8 different items to try between the 4 of us & honestly, nothing was outstanding. it was mediocre or fine - not bad food or anything. but compared to the price of everything, id go somewhere else.

    We had such an incredible time at Jaleo! Their sangria happy hour is amazing!! Everything we ordered was so good we ordered them twice! The paella, of course, was delicious. Our server was so nice and attentive too. We will go back to Jaleo every time we are in Vegas now. Can't wait!!!

    Jaleo at the Cosmopolitan is one of those restaurants that immediately transports you to Spain the moment you walk through the doors. The décor is vibrant, warm, and sophisticated, inspired by the energy of traditional Spanish tapas bars with a modern artistic twist. Rich reds, warm woods, colorful tile accents, dramatic lighting, and an open, lively dining room create an inviting atmosphere that feels both upscale and welcoming. The open layout allows you to take in the excitement of the restaurant while still feeling comfortable at your table. It's a beautiful space that perfectly captures the spirit of celebrating food, wine, and good company. The service was absolutely magnificent from beginning to end. We were warmly welcomed by the hostesses, who immediately made us feel like valued guests. Our waiter was exceptional, professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. He took the time to answer our questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything throughout the meal was perfect. This is hospitality done right. The sangrias were delicious, refreshing, and full of flavor. My only minor suggestion would be a little less ice in the glass next time, as it diluted the drink a bit. I may order a pitcher on my next visit because they were that good. We started with the olive assortment and the Pan con Tomate, toasted slices of uniquely crispy bread imported from Barcelona and brushed with fresh tomato. It's a classic Spanish staple, and both appetizers were simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious. For our entrée, we enjoyed the halibut filet served with a luxurious mussel saffron sauce, braised fennel, and chive oil. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and complemented beautifully by the rich, aromatic sauce. For sides, we ordered the Patatas Bravas, crispy fried potatoes served with spicy tomato sauce and alioli, which were outstanding, and the Coliflor Salteada con Aceitunas y Dátiles, sautéed cauliflower with dates, olives, and PX wine. The combination of sweet and savory flavors made this dish incredibly unique and memorable. The atmosphere is chic, energetic, and joyful. You can feel the excitement throughout the dining room, making it an ideal place for a date night, celebration, or gathering with friends. Overall, Jaleo delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Beautiful surroundings, impeccable service, outstanding food, and delicious cocktails made for a truly memorable meal. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return to explore more of the menu.

    Arroz gambas. So tasty
    Randy D.

    Restaurant is on the 3rd floor with the other places like beauty and Essex and STK. open to the casino common area. Hugh central kitchen where you can see the fire as they cook and make paella. We had a 7 pm reservation and showed up a little after 5. Luckily it was Sunday night and they weren't busy. We were seated and the adventure began. We had not been here before so ordered across the various areas of the menu. Since it's a tapas place, each dish is small and can put away quite a few. We ordered: Jose's taco. The best thing I've put in my mouth in a long time. Wish we didn't have it first, was mind blowing mix of flavors. It's seaweed with a slice of Iberico ham and caviar. 25 each but well worth it One of each cone - sonatas, caviar, Scalia and atun. All were delicious but the caviar and tuna tartare were my faves Pan tomate wife loves this, traditional presentation and good. Patatas brava chunks of potato in a tomato sauce very good Vieras scallop dish, very tasty Gazpacho was cold and refreshing Cod bunuelos. Cod fish calendar fried, got about 5 and they were really delicious Marisol croquet seafood cake, deep fried and served with a tasty aioli. Arroz gambas. I had the large paella, takes about 45 mins so if you know you want one, order early. You can get the paella of the day in a smaller version, but I had my heart set on this one and polished off about 86% of it. Tarta de queso. We had the basque cheesecake for dessert. Was really good, I think I like this version better than the NY style. Much lighter. Was a fantastic experience, food was great, service amazing. Can't wait to come back!! They are known for their gin and tonics so the wife got the ultimate and I got the citric. Citric had Mediterranean tonic water with grapefruit juice. Was really good! Service was super, Kayla was very attentive and friendly with lots of suggestions and helpful explanations of things weren't sure about.

    Chef José Andrés' Spanish tapas restaurant is an absolutely fabulous date night experience! From reception to wait staff, everyone is cheerful, enthusiastic, and on it. They make the place, without a doubt The food is elevated tapas, fancier than typically found across Iberia. The vibe is exactly right; tables near each other, the whole village enjoying food together. The Cono de Caviar has smoky Amar Osetra topped with gold leaf, a fabulous bite that celebrates the ingredients. The Cono de Atun lets the fish shine through. Winners, both. The Datiles - dates stuffed with almonds and wrapped in bacon - have texture and taste dancing together in your mouth. The Chorizo Casero features an olive oil potato puree and a cider reduction that brought me back to the streets of Barcelona. The Calamares Romana - deep-fried squid with an octopus ink aoili - is deeply satisfying and makes everyone's mouth black for a satisfying amount of time. It's hard to exhaust this deep menu, and we left all the dishes celebrating the native acorn-fed Iberian pigs to the next visit.

    Everything in the happy hour menu was incredible. With a wide variety of tapas, the seafood was extremely flavorful paired with a delicious sangria and hand selected wine by their in house sommelier. The service and ambience was wonderful with extremely friendly staff, our servers name was Nina therefore if you get to have her help you, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations! The black ink squid calamari, potatoes and chicken fritters were very tasty. Can't wait to order them again and try others in future!

    I needed some time to kill and it was almost dinner time when I found out Jaleo has something called 'Sangria Hour', which is their happy hour. It's daily at the bar from 5-7. I got there at about 6:40 and overall, it was a bit empty, and the bar was probably only about half full. I don't think a lot of people know about it because they don't advertise it. Even when I sat down and they gave me the menu, they didn't initially give me the Sangria Hour menu - I had to ask for it. Luckily, I still had enough time to order. I had: Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce and aioli) - these were a little basic. It could have used a bit more flavor - maybe more spicyness? Endibias Con Queso de Cabra y Naranjas (endives with goat cheese, oranges, almonds, roasted garlic dressing) - I normally don't like goat cheese but I really liked this. The oranges were refreshing, and I liked all the different flavors together Pan con Tomate (toasted bread with fresh tomato) and added Manchego cheese - can't go wrong with tomato bread! I probably could have eaten a few more of these They also have a few drink specials during Sangria Hour so next time if you're around during this time, check it out but just be sure to ask for the menu!

    How can I book the dining course experience for 2? Reservations is showing regular tables.

    You do not need to book in advance the Jaleo Experience. Just let the waiter knows when you get seated.

    Is the cochinillo (baby pig) available on the menu next month, March 2026?

    Yes it is! Please call us at 702.698.7950 to reserve it. We request a 72 hour notice.

    Is it possible to order the flat iron steak (6 oz) with peppers and pepper sauce on the side? I have some medical reasons. Thanks!

    Hi C.C. Yes, we can definitely accommodate you by putting the peppers and sauce on the side!

    Is there a corkage fee, if so what is the price?

    Hello! Our corkage fee is $50 per bottle, provided it is not currently on our wine list. Thank you.

    How easy is it to get bar seats on a Saturday night around 6:30? Do we have the ability to order some or all of the food on your menu at the bar?

    It depends on what is going on at the hotel. If there is a big conference, the bar can get jammed up. If none, then the bar is big enough to find a spot.

    Do i have a choice as to what paella i can order on any night?

    No. Each night they have one kind of Paella. As far as I know they don't always know too far ahead what it will be each day. It's different kinds on different night.

    Is the Sangria hour still everyday 5-7pm? and can we make reservations for sangria hour?

    Hello Jennifer, Sangria Hour is available from 5 PM - 7 PM Tuesday - Sunday. Please make a… 

    I will have 2 teens with me in during the week in April....am I able to come for happy hour and make reservations to sit, or is happy hour just at the bar?

    Hello Michael, Sangria Hour is available within the restaurant. You are more than welcome to enjoy it with your family.

    What is the attire for this restaurant?

    You can really wear anything you want, as it's a casino-mall location, but we felt most comfortable in her dress / my blazer-shirt-jeans casual nice. But definitely not a snooty environment.

    Are the paella dishes served in the pan individually?

    Hello Elizabeth, Jaleo Las Vegas is home to the first wood-burning paella pit. We cook large pans of paella over the open fire.… 

    I read that you cook your paella over a fire pit. Is that over an open flame and can one smell the smoke in the restaurant? Thank you

    There is a open flame fire pit they cook on but I've never smelt any smoke in the restaurant.

    Is the price of paella per person or the actual price, it says it feeds 8 I would like to take my parents and wife.?

    Total cost, but saying it feeds 8 is a bit of a stretch. You'll still need to order a few more dishes

    We've done fine dining before and usually it takes about 2+ hours to get through the meal. We have a show to get to at 8pm at the Palazzo. Is it cutting it too close if we have dinner at 5:30pm?

    I don't think you will be able to make it. There are seating at 5:30 and 8:30. I've done the 5:30 seating twice and once we finished right at 8:05pm and the second we finished at 8:19pm. Finished meaning when the last course was served, chefs gave… 

    Hello. I am wondering if you have non sea food or fish items? My husband and i are looking to book for july but do not eat sea food. Thanks.

    The tasting at e' consisted of both meat and fish when I was there. An equally spectacular alternative would be to go to jose's Bazaar Meat instead.

    So is the "service charge" the tip or not? I was charged 20% on reservation but it sounds like I also have the option to add additional gratuity at the end. So does that mean the 20% charge doesn't go to the staff? Or only to the servers not chefs?

    Hi Monica, Yes, the 20% service charge is gratuity that goes to all é employees. When you dine… 

    Is there a set price per person?

    Hi Laura, If you're looking to book an experience at é in February or March, the price is $250 before tax and gratuity. However, for all seatings booked for or after April… 

    Gluten free menu?

    I didn't notice a specific section on the menu labeled "Gluten Free", but i am sure the servers are knowledgeable enough to point you to the items that will appeal to the Gluten Free customer.

    What is the dress code? Are jeans acceptable?

    Yes nice ones , no holes

    Is it only a pre-fixed menu? Can it be altered for a vegetarian?

    Tell them when you make the reservation and they will make adjustments. They were really accommodating to some of the other diners when I visited.

    Are you still hungry after the course?

    Not at all. We were wondering about that ourselves, but after 21 courses, you'll be pretty full - we certainly were.

    Fideua - Seafood paella with Fideua

    Fideua

    4.9(115 reviews)
    1.9 mi•Eastside

    Holy... where do I even start?…read more A friend highly recommended this place, so I went with high expectations. Somehow, Fideua still managed to exceed every one of them. A few tips if it's your first visit: 1. Order from their pre-order menu (at least 24 hours in advance). 2. Come HUNGRY. Seriously. 3. Set aside 1.5-2.5 hours to enjoy the full experience. 4. Save room for dessert. What I ordered: - Sautéed Shrimp, Calamari & Octopus (Sepa/Gambas/Pulpo al Ajillo) - Sea Bass Oven-Cooked in a Salt Crust - Ox Tail (Rabo de Toro) - Chef's Signature Seafood Fideuà - Warm Bread with Spanish-Style Aioli - Chef's Choice Dessert (Surtido de Postres) I would order every single one of these again without hesitation. Fideua is a small husband/wife restaurant about 10-15 minutes off the Las Vegas Strip, by Head Chef Farman and Sous Chef Barbara. Barbara makes the desserts in-house, so the selection is limited.. but that's exactly why they're so good. Beautifully balanced, not overly sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. One tip: don't finish the aioli with the bread. Save it for the sea bass, ox tail, and paella/fideua. You'll thank me later. This was one of the best meals I've had in Las Vegas. What I loved most was how authentic everything felt. The ingredients are imported from Spain, and nothing tasted "Americanized". The food, service, and hospitality were all exceptional. I've eaten at many José Andrés restaurants across different cities, and while I enjoy them, they're much more modern fusion. Fideua delivers something much closer to what you'd actually experience in Spain, and that's what makes it so special. Honestly, I haven't had a Spanish meal this authentic even in Los Angeles. There are a couple good ones but not THIS good. The pricing is also incredibly fair. To get this level of quality on the Strip, you'd easily pay two to three times more.. and even then, I doubt the food would taste better. If you can, book an earlier timing so you'll have the chance to chat with Farman & Barbara and his culinary journey. His warmth, curiosity, and passion shine through not only in conversation but in every dish that comes out of the kitchen. I already can't wait to come back in a few months to try other dishes on the menu.

We checked out the reviews and saw overall it has good reviews. While the location wasn't somewhere I'd usually visit (the only reason why I didn't give 5 stars). I am glad that we decided to come give it a try. The paella is was good and the aioli was great! And the restaurant itself felt fun and home-y. The owner and his wife were extremely hospitable and their service was great! Usually need a reservation here but glad we were able to get in without one.

It's located within Jaleo itself, so...a restaurant within a restaurant. They only have two seatings per night with I believe 9 to 12 seats (officially 9, but there were definitely more than 9 people when we sat down) at a bar-style curved table. So it's a very exclusive fine dining experience. The food itself was unlike any tasting menu I've had so far. It's billed as Spanish tapas, but it is so much more than that. The 20+ courses that you get are all unique and just blow you away! The creativity and detail that goes behind every dish is at an extremely top level. And yes, the food is actually delicious. I don't think there was a single miss in any of these dishes. The team working here are wonderful. Although there may be some preparing that takes place in the kitchen with respect to each of the component parts of each dish, every single dish was prepared right in front of us and served to us directly. Not just that, but everyone here is super nice. Had some great conversations with the chefs. This was definitely one of the great dining experiences I have had this year. The only question I have is seeing how many Michelin stars they will get once the revived Michelin Guide for Las Vegas officially announces its results in August!

Tucked away behind a…read more"secret" glass door inside Jaleo, this isn't just a dinner, it is a magic show where you eat the props. It's a multi-course performance that challenges what you think you know about food. The decor is meaningful and deeply personal, designed to look like a literal snapshot of José Andrés' mind. It is intimate, where the crew plate all dishes in front of view. It's expensive, yes, but you aren't just paying for ingredients, you're paying for a memory that will stick with you for a long time. The food is masterclass in deception. This is avant-garde Spanish cuisine at its peak. Every dish is a surprise designed to play tricks on your senses and/or your mind. If you love foie gras, you are in heaven. It appeared in several iterations, including the famous "Wonder Bread" (a meringue-based "apple bread" with foie cream) and the "Cotton Candy Empanada." The kitchen staff plays with temperature and texture. You'll have dishes that look like stones but melt like butter, or things that appear hot but are shockingly cold. Every bite is a bit of a puzzle. The "Spanish Pizza" and the "Jose's Taco" (Iberico ham and caviar) were highlights that combined traditional Spanish flavors with mind-bending molecular techniques. It's a long, storied journey through 20+ courses that leaves you both full and mentally stimulated. Not crazy full though, lot of courses are one biters. It is easily one of the most memorable meals in Las Vegas, if not the world.

This spot isn't located in the best plaza as parking can be really tight due to how small it is. I initially came here with a few friends and did the Suave menu ($55 per person) because we couldn't decide whether to splurge or not, but was open to coming back if we enjoyed it. Although the menu is AYCE, for a first time experience, it was recommended to go down the list like a tasting menu. After going through the entire menu with the remaining time you have, you can re-order any of your favorites that you tried. Service was very quick and attentive. Every item came out in a timely manner to ensure that no time is lost! My favorites were the Spring Peas and Pulpo. A Different Beast is honestly a perfect date night or a girl's night out spot. My first experience was so stellar that I came back to try the Premio menu ($65 per person). Luckily when I came back, a few items had changed, but majority was the same. Off of this menu, my absolute all time favorite has to be the Foie Gras!! Sooo melt-in-your-mouth-buttery! It makes sense why it's a one time order only, sadly. My 2nd time visiting wasn't as mind blowing due to already knowing what to expect but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. A Different Beast is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience and I wish there were more AYCE tapas places like this!

We chose the highest price prix fixe set of $65, which includes one Foie gras tapas. This was my favorite one. My other favorites would be the Txaka, which is a crab salad, Spring Peas, Scallop Ceviche, and the Iberico Jamon Bellota. Least favorite were the Atun y Tomate and Morcilla con huevos de Codorniz (blood sausage). I would given it 5 stars but the chef uses small toast rounds for almost every dish. I guess this makes you full but it became repetitive and sometimes overpowered the actual dish.

Parking here does truly suck as it gets packed quickly. A few friends and I decided to head out for the long weekend and since a buddy and I arrived before everyone else, we decided to stop by for a drink and some appetizers. The restaurant is very cozy with only a few tables and maybe 12 barstools. Ordered a Red Trolley (haven't had since I was in college) which was awesome! Pan con tomate w/ jamon, simple and tasty! Baguettes were nicely toasted and had the perfect tomato to jamon ratio. Oysters were awesome according to my buddy (ate one before I could take a pic!) My buddy knows how much I love foie gras so I ended up eating 3 orders of it! I absolutely love the seared foie at Raku and asked the waiter if they could get me a bowl of rice so that I could mimic what is served at Raku. Although the sauce was different, it was still awesome!! The croqueta de jamon was excellent and loved how they drizzled a bit of tonkatsu sauce over it. Huge props to Lucas for running over to the sister restaurant and grabbing me a bowl of rice and to Nori san for the amazing hospitality. I will be back for a real meal the next time we are in town.

We especially enjoyed the foie gras, it was rich, soft and perfectly balanced by their sauce. This will definitely be my new go to spot in Vegas.

On a sidenote, the managers were doing the best they could someone needs to come back and retrain. Perhaps will try it again in 2027, I would recommend Bazaar Meats their food and their service and their timing are always on point.

The latter two are vegetarian and I wanted to go for a vegetarian friendly restaurant just for them. The olive oil tasting was my idea so I also had to choose the restaurant. My LTP and I actually went to a different tapas restaurant about a month ago and we loved it. So I wanted to try one of these again. Our tasting was scheduled to start at 6:00pm and I booked a reservation for 4:00pm through OpenTable. They have a very spacious patio, but due to the excessive heat warning in place at the time, we decided to dine inside. I didn't look at their hours of operation beforehand, so when we walked in, it was empty. Then I noticed that they open at 4:00pm on Saturday's and we were literally the first customers inside. We got a spacious table near the back of the restaurant, where our waiter for the day was Zach. He explained to us that all their food on the menu is based out of Spain, especially the paella, which takes about 40 minutes to cook and is meant to serve about two-four people. We started off with some drinks, where I got the mango margarita, my LTP and my dad respectively got the Atomic Duck and the El Pato Loco Mexican Lager from Able Baker, and my mom and my best friend's mom and stepdad shared a bottle of Chardonnay. While the margarita was on a bit of the sweet side compared to other margaritas I've had, it was still really good and it had a really fruity taste to it. We ordered the following and all six of us shared most of them; short rib pintxo, pork belly pave, patatas bravas, ole mis croquetas, iberico dates, and chicken tinga/braise short rib empanadas. Initially, I ordered just the chicken tinga for myself and my LTP was supposed to get the braise short rib, but my plate had chicken tinga and braise short rib together. That was ok, though, because both the chicken and short rib were absolutely delicious. The short rib pintxo came on a stick, with the rib falling off the stick as I took the first bite out of it. The pork belly pave was cooked perfectly. The patatas brava were spicy, but I would say 'good' spicy. The croquetas were overall one of my favorites; when I sliced it down the middle with my fork, the mashed potato filling spilled out of it. Hands down, Tres was a fantastic restaurant. The portions weren't too big or too small and everything here was so good. Would love to sit on their patio when the weather becomes cooler!
