Border Grill

Border Grill takes inspiration from south-of-the-border, crafting a menu of unlimited shareable brunch plates for a fixed price of 44.99 per person. Yucatan Pork Eggs Benedict, Peruvian Shrimp and Grits, and Plantain Empanadas lead a lineup of compelling dishes. Enjoying as much (or as little) as you like without relying on a buffet for variety is nice. Ask about the Short Rib Breakfast Burrito and other "secret" off-menu items that occasionally pop up for brunch. Endless mimosas, Bloody Marys, or Micheladas are available for an extra $27.99, but the coffee drinks and cocktails are also worth exploring. Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken's concept serves brunch from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday and Sunday, with two levels of seating that overlook the lazy river at Mandalay Bay.

Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken's dual-level restaurant has been around for more than two decades—an impressive run for a celebrity-chef concept in Las Vegas. The kitchen, currently under the day-to-day direction of Danny Pineda, continues to ensure the signature dishes are better than ever, whether it's the sweet-and-savory Plantain Empanadas stuffed with black beans, poblanos, and cotija cheese, or Yucatan Pork braised for eight hours in banana leaves with oranges and cinnamon sticks. There's a dedication to quality, hormone-free meats and sustainable seafood (just try the Shrimp Ceviche for evidence) and commitment to making everything in house, including the caramel Ice cream used in a decadent Churro Ice Cream Sandwich dessert. Brunch is an incredible deal, serving all-you-can-eat small plates for dinner for $43.99 per person. The view of the Mandalay Bay pool is just a bonus. BBQ Mexicana is a sister to-go counter across the hallway, featuring smoked meats and a signature Burnt Ends Burrito.
