Let’s face it—nobody wants to eat convention center food when Vegas is a true culinary delight. Ahead of InfoComm 2022, we asked #AVFoodies for their favorite restaurants recommendations in Las Vegas—here’s what they had to say…

Burger Bar

Submitted by: Cory Schaeffer, Director, Alliances and Ecosystem, QSC
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: The Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay has been around a while, having been one of the first upscale burger restaurants in Las Vegas—and it continues to serve delicious burgers, fries, and shakes. Renown Chef Hubert Keller is the mind behind Burger Bar. You’ll find plenty of gourmet touches to these quality hamburgers. Patties made from beef, buffalo, and turkey are topped off with things like tapenade, roasted pineapple, or fried egg

Firefly

Submitted by: Diana Rosenblatt, Regional Sales Manager- West, AtlasIED
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: Spanish Tapas. YUM. Both Firefly locations are conveniently located, yet off the crowded Las Vegas strip. They are energetic and fun with a modern aesthetic—perfect for a casual night out with #AVTweeps or a more professional dinner with clients. But the best part is the menu, which offeris unique, diverse, and freshly prepared small plates options. You don’t have to commit to a single entrée; sharing is caring, after all.

Good Pie

Submitted by: Joe Dunbar, Key Account Manager, Starin, a Midwich Group Company
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: I know pizza and I know Sin City, Good Pie is as delicious as pizza gets in the desert. Former chef at famed Las Vegas pizzeria, Evil Pie, Vincent Rotolo opened his own shop and has been making waves and winning awards ever since. Order it “Grandma Style” and thank me later.

In-N-Out Burger

Submitted by: Joe Way, Director, Learning Environments, USC
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: In-N-Out is a true West Coast classic. Whether you need post-drinking sustenance or a final meal before hitting the road out of town, you can never go wrong with a Double-Double and Animal Fries. There are two convenient locations off Tropicana Ave., on the way to either Harry Reid International Airport or the 15-South back to L.A. Enjoy! Oh … and take a local with you for tips on ordering from the secret menu.

Lindo Michoacan

Submitted by: Tammy Fuqua, Channel Account Manager – West, ATEN Technology
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: Being from SoCal, I have visited Vegas countless times. I like to find hidden gems off the strip. If you want some good Mexican food and margaritas without breaking the bank, you must try this place. I love ceviche and their Ceviche de Camaron is really good. For an entrée, either the carnitas or the carne asada. They have the best coconut margarita to wash it all down. Cheers!

Mabel’s BBQ

Submitted by: Bryan Meszaros, CEO and Founder, Open-Eye Global
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: Cleveland knows BBQ! Slightly off the strip, nestled inside the Palms Casino, lies one of Vegas’ best BBQ spots. Those who have been to Cleveland know about Mabel’s (owned by the infamous Michael Symon), and this outpost delivers the same mouth-watering, finger-licking experience. Go for the brisket, stay for the ribs and grab a pint of good brew.

MilkBar

Submitted by: Steph Beckett, Managing Editor, rAVe [PUBS]
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: A bakery that began in NYC, Milk Bar is a staple in my life. Christina Tossi is a baking genius, and I highly recommend the birthday cake truffles, cereal milk soft serve, and basically all the cookies. Every time I go somewhere with a Milk Bar in town, my close friends all know I’ll bring them home a treat!

Piero’s

Submitted by: Katye Bennett, CEO and Chief Strategist, KMB Communications
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: Piero’s, which is across the street from the Las Vegas Convention Center, is always a great spot, old-school Vegas vibe. A bit of an institution and always great food. Reservations are most definitely required!

Sun’s Out Buns Out

Submitted by: Barbara Blaskowsky, Senior Director of Marketing, AVIXA
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: Besides the adorable décor (Egg chairs! Happy egg emojis!), Sun’s Out Buns Out serves up savory egg sandwiches and fries that are the perfect antidote after a long night out. Try their short rib egg sandwich with spicy mayo or my fave, the furikake fries.

Trevi

Submitted by: Amanda Boyer, General Manager, AV Chicago
Why InfoComm 2022 Attendees Should Check It Out: While there are so many amazing restaurants with amazing chefs and food, the setting of Trevi is quaint, yet also impressive. Nested in the shops at Caesars, you have an Italian café feel without being too much. The food is delicious and it is a great place to unwind with industry friends or clients do some people watching and enjoy the feeling of sitting outside—while you’re actually indoors.
