Top of the World has a feature you won’t find anywhere else on the Las Vegas Strip: As you dine, the scenery continually changes, because the restaurant sits atop The STRAT and is always in a state of slow rotation. For that reason alone, Top of the World is worth a visit; but its menu is absolutely stellar and, like the views from the room itself, always changing. Even if you’ve been multiple times, this latest menu update has delicious surprises in store.
Before you dig into executive chef Chad Castanino’s latest lineup, make sure to settle in with a signature cocktail. There’s so much fun to be discovered here, from My Name is Chad, featuring Buffalo Trace bourbon, Mr. Black cold brew coffee liqueur and chocolate bitters, to the Honey Bumble Bee, made with Deep Eddy ruby red grapefruit vodka, fresh lemon juice, pineapple, Aperol and honey syrup.
Now get ready to tantalize your tastebuds with some new seasonal items! Start with smoked chicken and white chili cheese dip with pickled pepper relish and served with spiced taro chips and a honey drizzle. Vegetarians are sure to love both the polpetti tartuto, so flavorful with country tomato sauce, Manchego cheese and winter white truffle, and wild mushroom ravioli, flavored with sweet soy sauce, spicy yuzu aioli, crushed peanuts and togarashi.
Entrées are just as wonderful, from diver scallops with celeriac purée, pomegranate and garlic streusel, and pappardelle pasta, smothered in a ragu of confit duck, crispy Brussels sprouts, balsamic mushrooms and Romesco sauce, to citrus-roasted half chicken, served with russet and sweet potato gratin and smoked Gouda cream, and blackened salmon, plated with lobster, bacon and gnocchi chowder. Vegans will definitely want to check out the stuffed winter squash, highlighted by forbidden rice, miso roasted sweet potato, smoked oyster mushrooms, avocado and maple miso vinaigrette.
Even the sides you’ll pair these dishes with are new—and delicious! Choose from wild mushroom bread pudding, roasted vegetable ratatouille, creamy cheddar polenta and fried Brussels sprouts.
