What Are the Ten Oldest Restaurants in Las Vegas?

Many years ago, you ran a QoD listing the 10 oldest restaurants in Vegas. I'm sure it's different today than it was then. Can you update the list for us as of today?

We sure can.

The last time we ran the list of the 10 oldest Vegas restaurants, the following were on it and have closed since then: Macayo Vegas (#4, 1959), Battista's Hole in the Wall (#5, 1970; currently closed, it might or might not reopen), and Pamplemousse (#10, 1976). The other seven remain on the following updated list.

1. Bob Taylor Original Ranch House (1955)

2. Golden Steer (1958)

3. Top of the Mint/Binion's (1965)

4. Peppermill (1972)

5. Bootlegger (1972)

6. Kung Fu Thai & Chinese Restaurant (1973)

7. Farm Basket (1973)

8. Chicago Joe's (1975)

9. Hugo's Cellar (1976)

10. Piero's Italian Cuisine (1982)

Battista's

I saw somewhere that Battista's was reopening this evening.

52 years of great donuts!

Ronald’s Donuts on Spring Valley opened in 1973. Not a restaurant per se, but still a long time winner…
