It's very weird how Vegas has become less of a 24 hour city. I don't think there are any grocery stores open past midnight anymore. If anybody knows one, please share.
Obviously, you've got Rivas, Roberto's and 90 other Mexican places.
On the east side, there is a Thai place called The Memory that is open till 2am at least some nights. It's not the best, but it's fine. Cheba Hut (I didn't realize till now that this is a national chain) is open till midnight and 2am on Fri and Sat. Capprioti's on paradise is 24hr and several places in that shopping center are open late. Both are sub places. I spent 10 years thinking the owners of Cheba are idiots because the sign says they have "toasted" subs, and I thought they were misusing quotation marks. But it's a stoner themed place with stoner food, like fruity pebbles sqares and subs served on garlic bread. Also serves good beer.
Casa De Amore is open till 4. That's a proper sit down Italian. Highly rated, though I thought it was just fine the one time I ate there. It is a fun atmosphere and the service was good. A little overpriced, but I'll go back.
Ichabod's is 24 hours. It's a bar/slot place, like Steiner's or whatever, but with more emphasis on the restaurant side. The menu has more stuff like steaks, salads and pasta than a typical sports bar. It is not a high end restaurant, so understand that, for example, you're not getting a super high quality steak. But I think they prepare the food well and really enjoy it. It's a neighborhood place with regulars. Caters to an older crowd. Has very amateur live music sometimes. It's all very unpolished but with character. Like, a couple months ago I was in there while some guy was celebrating his 80th birthday with his friends, the house band was playing My Way, for him. That kind of thing.
