But Las Vegas has another secret up its sleeve — a brunch scene that’s worth waking up for. From cozy downtown spots to upscale eateries, Vegas serves up some seriously mouth-watering mid-morning meals. Here are some of the best-kept Las Vegas brunch secrets.

For a taste of the South, sink your teeth into their shrimp po’ boy and help yourself to a little slice of “Nawlins” in the middle of the desert.
Just down the street in the Arts District, Makers & Finders puts a bold Latin twist on your brunch favorites. Their empanada flight is perfect for sharing (or not, we won’t judge), with flavors like short rib and spicy mushroom. And if you’re in the mood for something green, their avocado toast is a verified crowd-pleaser. Plus — because it’s morning, after all — their espresso drinks will wake you up faster than a big jackpot win.
