I have to confess, I am a huge fan of Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant and bar empire, despite not watching her show, “Vanderpump Rules” (sorry, Lisa!).
We’ve dined at several of her establishments, from the now-shuttered Pump to Sur, Villa Blanca, and Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars. The woman knows how to make an incredible cocktail that’s also worthy of Instagram and TikTok.
Description: Vanderpump à Paris is a restaurant and bar located in the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, inspired by the romance and sophistication of Paris. Created by reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump, and designed by artist Nick Alain, it offers a Parisian ambiance with lavish décor, lush greenery, and vintage elements.
The menu features French-inspired cuisine and a curated selection of cocktails, providing a luxurious and immersive dining experience that transports guests to the heart of Paris on a rainy day. It is a mood. The cocktails are some of the best you’ll have in Vegas, but sorry kids, it’s 21 and older only.
Cost: $$
Deals: No deals, but some cocktails come with small bites.
Tips & Hacks: Reservations for a table can be made on Open Table for $29.99 per person. You can also walk in and sit at the bar, enjoying the rainy window on the Seine complete with a moving river video wall. You can also check it out for brunch, which may be a bit slower than a busy weekend night.

Don’t miss: If it’s your birthday, you MUST try the Bon Anni-Versailles, also known as “It's My F *cking Birthday”. It’s a delightful concoction of Vodka, Orange Blossom Liqueur, Raspberry, Lemon, and Aquafaba and comes on a tray complete with a tiara. You don’t get to keep the tiara, but you’ll look like a queen for a night with it on your table. I also loved the showmanship of the Louvre At First Sight Cocktail. Gorgeous delivery (in a triangle glass shaped smoking cloche as a nod to the iconic Louvre). It has Mezcal, Prickly Pear, Lemon, Jalapeño Honey, Orange Bitters, Aquafaba, and a lot of Hickory Smoke. Another standout is the Café & Beignet. It’s a classic espresso martini with small bites of chocolate, a beignet, and a chocolate toffee bar to nibble on while you enjoy your refreshment.
Skip It: The cocktails are my favorite. I have never had a bad cocktail at a Vanderpump establishment- ever, which is an incredible feat. However, the food can be a mixed bag. We ordered a small plate of Gruyère Frites which were supposed to come with herbes de provence. Instead, it was topped with basic parsley and came with a tasty aioli and a very odd bloody mary style thin house-made ketchup that was not a win. Fries are fries, and if you're starving, it’s fine, but I would probably pass on that again. Instead, come here for a pre-show or pre or post-dinner cocktail. You won’t be disappointed!
