Lovely Mexican restaurant in Resort World Las Vegas. Very friendly and accommodative service. Great cocktails and food. Lovely atmosphere. My server, Jade, was awesome. Answered my questions and made great recommendations. Apologies for my pictures. I was well into my food and drink before deciding to do a review. Excellent guacamole , chips and salsa. Great drink. I had a Viva-Rita, a lighter margarita. Loved it. I wanted some protein, but not a big meal. Jade recommended the COSTILLAS, Ancho Rubbed Lamb Ribs. Incredible! Enjoy!! read more

Inside World Resort Casino's Mall. Happy Hour 3pm-5pm at the bar, $6 beer wine, $10 cocktail, $2 oysters, $5-$12 snacks. A friend picked this place because it seemed airy and simple for a random Tuesday 3pmish. Everything was decent for westernized, commercialized American Mexican fusion food. I really don't expect much on the strip. Free parking. Closest restroom is a LONG STROLL away!!! Wish it was closer. It feels like a trek. Staff were nice. They are able to make sure my orders didn't have dairy in them. We got the $2HH oysters (a dab of pretty tasty hot sauce), $5HH each steak tacos (comes with the same oyster hot sauce on it), $12HH Tuna Tostada. I wouldn't want to pay anymore than the Happy Hour prices for these items.

We came to Viva for dinner while staying at the Conrad at Resorts World, and the restaurant definitely makes a great first impression. The space is absolutely beautiful and has a really fun, upscale Mexican vibe. The only downside for us was the drinks. Maybe it was just my husband's choice, but the cocktail he ordered (House of Dragon) was $34, and he said it was just...mid. For that price, we were expecting something a little more memorable. I ordered the hibiscus agua fresca, but it was much tarter than I expected. It just wasn't for me, and the staff was kind enough to remove it from our bill, which we really appreciated. For food, everything was much better. I ordered the beef taquitos, and they were packed with flavor. My husband had the steak street tacos, and the steak was seasoned really well and cooked perfectly. We also received complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa had a beautiful rich color, but the flavor was a little mild for my taste. I was hoping for a little more spice and a bigger kick. Overall, we had a great dinner. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I'd definitely come back read more

My hubby and I enjoyed a date night at Viva, an upscale, modern Mexican restaurant at Resorts World. We started with chips, salsa and guacamole. I ordered the Viva-Rita Margarita, while my hubby had a Modelo. For dinner, my hubby chose the Wagyu Skirt Steak and Guajillo-Marinated Shrimp, served with grilled onions, peppers, and mushrooms. I had the Enchiladas del Camaron with shrimp, roasted garlic and green tomatillo salsa. Our food and drinks were delicious, and the service was great. read more

This place had enough space to sit my work team of 10 together and it smelled great outside and we decided to try it Our server was great and fun and loved working there The serving sizes for some of the foods are small but the taste was amazing and the churro if you have them are like no other you had in terms of texture it's like air I kid you not it was a trip I had the Barbacoa which was soooo tender and the Smokey beans were yum!

Who doesn't love Mexican food!!!! Stop at Viva inside Resort's World for lunch. I was craving something lite and heavy, since I just got done with a vacation workout. I order the Barbacoa Melt and Ceviche. I was so hungry, that I almost forgot to take a picture. Service was excellent, the ambiance was festive, and food was delicious. Definitely a go to, if you are in the area. read more

My friend Mat and I decided to stop at the brand new resort world hotel on Vegas. Lately I've been craving a Spanish drink so we stopped at Viva. I got the Blanco sangria which also has apricot juice in it and my friend Matt got a Coke and grenadine. Sangria is late and refreshing and very tasty. The fruits on top are lemon, apple and grapefruit. They have about two bartenders working a 360° bar and the bar is a little bit packed but mostly with businessmen. The ambience of this bar is an indoor and outdoor vibe with lively Spanish music and very fun, cultural decor. My bartender this evening Marq. We spoke a little bit about the hotel and he is very charismatic and very nice. 10/10 read more

My husband and I came here for our anniversary, and overall we had a great experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. We ordered the queso fundido, barbacoa tacos, elote, a watermelon margarita, and a Paloma. The watermelon margarita was absolutely delicious, and my husband said the Paloma was one of the best he's ever had. The food was good, but I felt it could have used a bit more flavor. Considering the prices, I expected the dishes to be a little more memorable. That said, I'd definitely come back, especially during happy hour, when the prices seem much more reasonable for what you get. Overall, it's a great spot for the ambiance, cocktails, and service, and I look forward to giving more of the menu a try. read more

We decided to try this place for dinner as it was in our hotel at resort world. I forgot our server's name but the nice girl was so kind and informative when we asked for recommendations from the menu. The other staff who helped us serve the food, water and checked in on us was also very kind. 10/10 for staff! Now onto the foood: The chips and salsa, it was so tasty. I give it 10/10. My favorites were the fish ceviche - I usually have shrimp but this was so much better. We got the Esquites appetizer and it paired well to share and went well with my Birria tacos. Definitely will be back! read more

I've been here a couple of times when visiting Vegas and it's always been a good experience. This time we ordered the shrimp cocktail, which was really good, and the ceviche. If you like a coconut milk style ceviche, you'll definitely enjoy it -- it was flavorful and really yummy. We also got the chips and guacamole, which were fresh with a nice lemony taste that made them stand out. We had a couple of Palomas as well, and they were refreshing and well made. Overall, everything was solid and the experience was enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend Viva if you're in the area and looking for a good Mexican spot with great flavors and drinks. read more

Enjoyed this Mexican inspired restaurant for brunch. The service was quick and efficient and the restaurants itself is beautiful. We ordered guacamole, the cauliflower tacos, breakfast tacos and huevos rancheros. The guacamole and huevos rancheros were the stand outs. The cauliflower tacos could have been seasoned just a little more. Overall I enjoyed the ambiance (though the music is a bit loud so just be aware) and would likely be back for appetizers and drinks! read more

This place is consistently solid -- I've been here a few times over the last couple of years, and it never disappoints. Today I went a little lighter since I was still full from my Thai lunch (see my previous review) and ordered the Caesar salad with added Wagyu beef. It was perfect. The Wagyu was tender and flavorful, and the salad was just what I needed. The side of chips and salsa rounded everything out and made the meal complete. Great food, great vibe -- always a reliable pick. read more

Return or not return? Return, but... Went there a couple times this past week for happy hour, but also had dinner there a few months ago. The oysters (from Va) are excellent. Really good except the 2nd time we went, the chef added habanero sauce, and it was overwhelming and too hot. Uncomfortable to eat. My issue with the food? Obscenely salty. The chips, the guacamole felt like someone spilled a salt jar, and the salsa is meh. Ok, but not great. Tasted like chipotle based. The fajitas and steak tacos were ok, but kinda blah. Will go back, but ask to please tone down the salt. read more

What was supposed to be a team dinner turned into a train wreck of an experience. Originally, we had reservations for 6:30 pm for 5 guests, but the team wanted to eat earlier, so we changed the reservation to 5 pm. The table for 5 at 5 pm was not comfortable. It was a two seat and booth with a chair added at the end. I don't know why we received this type of seating, as it was very cramped. More to come about that later. The guacamole was very good and had a little kick. I did not try the chip,s though. The white Sangria ordered by one of the dinner guests was not to her liking. Before I go any further. I picked VIVA due to it being inside Resorts World, and I believed that there was something on the menu for everyone, including several vegan options for myself. Boy, was I wrong VIVA does not accommodate off-menu changes or milder versions of any of its dishes. The 'Enchiladas De Pollo' featuring chicken, Requeson, Feta, Red Onion, Refried Lentils, and Arroz for $30.00 has a very spicy red sauce that cannot be altered in any way. The two diners attempted to change out beans for rice, and no veggies for the fajitas, and the server was doing her best to make as many allowed accommodations as possible. The diner who wanted the enchiladas gave up and didn't order anything. My vegan tamale was very good, but not worth a $18.00 price tag and then $5 for blue corn tortillas. With the table being cramped, the staff was constantly at our table to pull plates, collect silverware, wipe crumbs, etc. We couldn't have had a moment to even discuss anything. The manager did come by to speak with the diner, but there was nothing but an apology. 4 diners, 1 Alcohol drink - $300.00 The dinner experience will go down as one of the worst experiences that I have been a part of, and I will probably have my dinner reservation privileges removed. read more

Great place to dine if you're staying at resorts world. They don't offer chips but highly recommend ordering chips and guacamole as a starter. The guacamole was my favorite part of the meal. Their happy hour consists of drink specials and small plates - including nachos, tacos, and a great Spanish version of ahi tuna poke on a crisp tortilla. Highly recommend that. I tried the Caesar salad but the dressing wasn't what I was expecting. Still good (the chicken was cooked PERFECTLY). I'd recommend their enchiladas, fish entrees and other items that I've had and haven't disappointed. Their bartenders are great if you're just wanting to stop in and sit at the bar. Great vibes. Good music... it can be loud in some areas so you can ask for a quieter spot if you need that. read more

We came for an event at a conference and had the best time. The waitress was amazing and it was a beautiful space. Loved the food! We had some delicious apps to share. The guacamole was so fresh and creamy. The taquitos were so crispy and amazing. I love short rib and have to get it any time I. See it on a menu. The short rib was unbelievably tender, moist with the beans. We also got the cookies and churros which were out of this world. It's a bit expensive for regular people but so worth it. Unbelievable! read more

I had a great dining experience catching up with a friend from out of town at ¡VIVA! Our server was fantastic. She was so friendly and genuinely excited to guide us through the menu, offering spot-on recommendations that made our meal great. We went family style: Queso Fundido - Tons of cheesey Fun. Ceviche - fresh and refreshing. Baja tacos (3) - Great execution. Enchiladas chicken - on the smaller portion side, but not dry and tasty. tres Leches cake - Absolutely fantastic. The manager(?) or head host also made the experience special by checking on us multiple times throughout our visit. The contemporary decor had vibrant colors and modern touches perfectly complemented the Mexican theme, creating a great dining setup. ¡VIVA! is a great modern Mexican option if you're hanging at the Resorts World property. I'd definitely visit again to check our more of their dishes. Cheers! read more

I wish I can give this place a better rating but too many cons for my first visit here. We were with a group of 10 and it was around 2 hours prior to closing on a Thursday slow night. The back dining area was completely open so it was just us. Mood lighting is cool, no bathroom in the venue, you have to walk out of the restaurant to use the restroom. Esthetically, the restaurant was quaint, nice for date night or big parties. Server was nice at first but seemed to lose it a little, it seemed like she had a long day and was ready to leave is what it felt like and it's because an incident occurred where two out of the 10 entrees didn't come out til about 25 min after everyone else's food came out. Some of us waited for the rest of the food to come out thinking it would be out soon but ya it took almost 30 min to come out. Also when one of the two did come out it was completely the wrong entree and the server who took the order kind of got snappy about the enchiladas being on the slip of orders she took down but no one ordered that entree. We were frustrated and when we finally got our food a lot of ours that waited to eat after all orders came out had cold food at that point which was unfortunate. We ordered salads to chicken dishes, quesadillas, tacos etc, I got some photos of food that were closer to my side of the table but this was really an unpleasant visit I didn't care to get more pics as I already knew I wasn't going to lie and talk this place up. My entree was the rice carrots and half chicken and it was legit the driest chicken I've ever had. I don't know if it's because it sat around for 30 min before I ate it but I couldn't eat the white meat and the dark meat was slightly less drier which wasn't really that edible either. The rice and carrots were delicious. I will not attempt this place again. Note: they tried to comp us dessert instead of logically comping the two meals that came out 30 min late which is just a shame. I can't see this place sticking around for too long as there are a lot of other eateries at resorts world and hoping with better food and service. Entrees ranged from $25-75. And the appetizers were $20-30 and very small portions. Not worth the price for sure. read more

First off... YESUA, ENZO and DANIELLE were soooooooo amazing!!!! Danielle greeted us with such a great smile and warm service. She made our drinks so tasty as well! Enzo was such a cool guy with a lot of knowledge about the place. He answered a lot of the questions we had and was just really fun guy to talk to! Yesua never steered us wrong in what to order and how things were made. He was super helpful with the menu items and made us feel at home. Customer service was top notch from the hostess (didn't get her name but she was so sweet!) and even the guy that brought us our food (funny guy that didn't make me feel like a big back for ordering everything twice!) Secondly....THE FOOD....FIRE! Every level of flavor and goodness that food can hit! My husband and I came here on our way to our room at Conrad World Resorts. We just happened to walk by during their happy hour after seeing a show at the Sphere. The prices looked great so we had to give this place a try. Being LA natives, we love some good Mexican food and were excited to try out what they had! We ordered the steak tacos that were made of wagu beef, and the QuesaBirria. As I'm writing this my mouth is watering again!!! The meat was so TENDER and had so much FLAVOR! Perfect amount of spice!! And the quesadillas....I just can't with these....AMAZING! I could've bathed in the consommé they had on the side We were so delighted to get such fantastic Mexican food here! No lie...some of the best I've had. We'll be coming back to try their chilaquiles and more for brunch! I high key wanna try EVERYTHING on the menu but alas...my wallet won't allow for that at the moment HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Hidden Gem? Or just fantastic Happy Hour. Being from Texas I didn't lean into the Mexican cuisine but noted their $2 oysters for Happy Hour and soooo happy we stopped in. Their Marg with the salty foam topper was amazing. Only $9. Hmmm what was best "snacks"? Dozen oysters. Wow. Corn Ribs. Holy cow. Tuna Tostada. Yes. Please. So much fun and Oswaldo our bartender just kept the fun flowing. Had to add in a couple of high end tequilas, of which they have many. read more

What a lovely restaurant this is tucked into the Resortsworld casino. We came here on a Saturday evening and it was moderately busy, just lively enough to buzz but not busy enough that we felt neglected by the staff who were very attentive and accommodating. We sampled a few different cocktails, all very well done and uniquely flavored, mostly with tequila or mezcal... if you love mezcal this is the place to come drink. For food we had a wide array of things... and I'll bullet-list this for ease... Chips/Sala + Guacamole... a staple of course Taquitos... a hit, crunchy fresh and flavorful Costillas... these lamb ribs were a great bite Pulpo Asado... I love octopus and this hit the spot Heirloom Tomato Salad... fresh + bright, a great side to have with all the meat Ceviche... its not the prettiest, but it tasted fresh and bright Pina Asada... this was a unique twist on grilled pineapple Chicharron... the nighlight of our meal, the outside was crispy and the inside was tender pork Barbacoa... perfectly cooked, but make sure to get sauce in every bite as this is where most of the flavor was Cadillac Fajitas... this is a pretty standard fajita dish, my only complaint would be the blue corn tortillas felt a bit undercooked Churros... the lightest flakiest churro you'll ever have, and the perfect desert All in all we had a great evening here, and can't wait to come back to Vegas and sample a few more things. read more

Sunday morning here feels like a ritual. The room alive, the bar humming, the game on in the background. The chilaquiles are a test of will. Spicy enough to make you pause, yet too good to stop. The breakfast burrito is built for champions, stuffed with bacon, eggs, potatoes, and quesillo, bound by macha aioli. The breakfast tacos let you choose your weapon--bacon or chorizo. Either way, you win. Bottomless sangria seals the deal. Roja or blanca, it keeps the table talking long after the plates are cleared. This is the ultimate Sunday brunch read more

When I was searching for a new brunch place I came across VIVA based off what I saw I was excited. I ended up setting up my birthday brunch here and it was not what I expected of it. Was excited for the bottomless sangrias And upon arrival 12 noon was advised they had ran out and there was no more so that was a total huh moment! The food was basic nothing fancy for it being at resorts world The place/ set up was very nice to look at No bathroom inside this restaurant you have to leave the restaurant and walk down to a casino bathroom which when drinking is not fun to do multiple times. Service was great, for the large party we had our serve was on it. read more

I'm local and when conventions or customers come to town, I always pick the place. As a local I have my go to places. We had a party of 9 and most of the people were staying at Resorts World. I have never been to Viva so I thought I would give it a shot. I always grade on curve for larger party's. That said our service was not great. The young lady was horrible, did not come back after we ordered to check on us. Most of us did not get a second drink, she didn't even notice we were out of water, we had to ask someone else to get more water. Our food came out at different times. One guy never got his, and we had to run her down. The whole meal was not a great experience. For the price of this Mexican food, they should have been all over us. 9 people and the bill was almost 900 with the tip. I would skip this place. If the owners see this, it was not super busy, the reservation was under my name and it was tonight 9/23/26 if you want to see who our server was. read more
