Las Vegas is one of the nation's premier foodie destinations in large part because of the vast array of sensational restaurants offered at the many MGM Resorts International properties lining the Las Vegas Strip. Here are five dining venues you won't want to miss on your next trip to the Entertainment Capital of the World.

Bellagio's Lago by Julian Serrano prides itself on serving up small plates showcasing bold flavors. Better yet, guests can enjoy stunning views of the iconic Bellagio fountains while they sample creative soups, salads, crostinis, focaccia and pizzettes and share mouthwatering meat, seafood and vegetarian plates.

There's a whole lot to look forward to at ARIA's Herringbone thanks to the restaurant's "Fish Meats Field" social dining concept. Alfresco dining at its best, Herringbone's fresh California-inspired coastal cuisine pairs perfectly with the good vibes being put out by the nightly DJ.

Head to Rivea for a relaxed Riviera atmosphere and delectable dishes inspired by the inviting food markets of southern France and Italy. Specialties include marinated sea bass, beef carpaccio and sauteed calamari and prawns, among other items. There is also a handful of delicious pasta and pizzettes to choose from.

The all-new Eataly Las Vegas at Park MGM isn't just one restaurant but rather a destination in and of itself. The 40,000 square-foot culinary attraction encourages visitors to eat, shop and learn all at the same time. Highlights include multiple restaurants as well as six takeaway counters, three bars and a cafe in addition to retail products and an educational chef's table.

In the mood for some freshly made salsa or guacamole? Head to Diablo's Cantina at Luxor to sink your teeth into some of Chef Saul's stellar creations while sipping on premium tequilas and signature cocktails.
