Steakhouse with live lounge entertainment.

Sushi and sashimi sit alongside hot Japanese dishes, burgers and Blue Ribbon's chicken wings at this Green Valley Ranch restaurant. It works for a mixed group that does not all want raw fish, with a separate weekend brunch offering as well as its regular menu.

Hand-painted murals and Day of the Dead styling give Borracha its lively cantina character. The menu centres on tacos, burritos and Mexican entrees, paired with tequila, beer and margaritas. Look here for a colourful sit-down meal rather than a quick food-court stop.

Bottiglia pairs Tuscan-inspired Italian cooking with a bright dining room and a substantial wine list. It is a good fit for a relaxed dinner over several courses, with pasta, Italian plates and cocktails rather than casino-floor snacks. Weekend brunch has its own menu.

Green Valley Ranch's American cafe covers breakfast through late-night meals, with pancakes, breakfast burritos, burgers, salads and sandwiches. This is the resort's flexible sit-down choice when the group wants familiar food at different times, rather than a formal restaurant reservation.

Tony Gemignani's Pizza Rock makes its dough, pasta and sausage in-house, with a menu extending beyond pizza to calzones, stromboli and antipasti. Choose it for a full Italian-American meal or a pizza to share at Green Valley Ranch, rather than expecting only a slice counter.

Watch the kitchen prepare oysters and seafood dishes at this Green Valley Ranch counter. Alongside shellfish, the menu includes chowder, gumbo, cioppino and seafood pasta. It suits someone wanting a warming seafood meal as much as a chilled oyster-and-beer stop.

Turf Grill sits beside Green Valley Ranch's sportsbook and serves made-to-order burgers, hot dogs and game-day food. You can eat there or take your order away, making it a practical casual stop around a game rather than a destination for a long dinner.

Sandbar is Green Valley Ranch's poolside food-and-drink stop, with cocktails delivered to loungers or daybeds. Its pool menu ranges from tacos and loaded nachos to salads, sandwiches and sushi rolls. Plan it around a pool visit and confirm seasonal service and pool admission first.

This Green Valley Ranch food-court outlet brings the Los Angeles burger brand to Henderson. Pressed-to-order burgers, fresh-baked buns, chili cheese fries and hand-spun milkshakes are the focus. Choose it for an informal burger meal without booking a full-service restaurant.
