Brunch is a major institution in Las Vegas paled only by quickie weddings and sunny days. It’s not only the perfect cure following a late night out on the town, but it’s also a great way to fuel up for another fun-filled day. Just about every restaurant in Sin City offers a bomb weekend brunch, from basic to bougie. Here are six swanky Sin City brunches to add to your weekend to-do list.
