It may come as no surprise to hear that the Strip’s newest resort, Resorts World Las Vegas, is home to the most Michelin Plate and Bib Gourmand awarded culinary concepts under one roof in the country. What people might not expect, though, is to find all those eateries in the property’s food hall.

From Japanese sushi and Singaporean claypot rice to Nashville-style hot chicken and Texas barbeque, there’s sure to be something for everyone to relish at Famous Foods Street Eats. Earlier this year, the diverse dining destination welcomed four new eateries as well: Famous Pho, Harajuku Ramen, Burger Barn and the full-service, sitdown restaurant, Fuhu Cha Chaan Teng. The latter offers an assortment of mouthwatering items for guests to enjoy, including dim sum, congee and whole crispy Peking duck.

Diners can choose to order their dishes from each stall individually or via one of the digital kiosks located throughout the venue and be notified via text when their order is ready for pick up. Instagrammable art installations and striking Strip views courtesy of floor-toceiling windows further add to the vibrant marketplace’s delightful dining atmosphere. rwlasvegas.com/dining
