Why go
BLACKOUT is a better pick for an experience-led dinner than for diners chasing a clearly defined cuisine, chef, or award signal. Book it when the group wants the room and format to drive the night; choose High Steaks Vegas or DØUBLE ZERØ PIE & PUB instead when category clarity matters more.
About BLACKOUT
BLACKOUT is a Las Vegas venue with evening hours on select days and a smart casual dress code. It works well when its posted evening schedule fits your plans.
Before planning, check the closed days and the specific evening window for the day you want to go. It is open Monday 5:30–8:30 PM, Thursday 5–9 PM, Friday 5–9 PM, Saturday 5–9:30 PM, Sunday 5:30–8:30 PM; it is closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
Choose it when the timing works
The strongest planning signal is the schedule. BLACKOUT is not listed with lunch hours, so plan around an evening visit rather than a midday stop. The smart casual dress code also makes it a better fit for a planned night out than an improvised casual stop.
For a repeat visit, the same rule applies: choose it when the posted hours, closed days, dress expectations match the occasion. If your group needs information such as detailed menu format, pricing, seating capacity, or specific service options, confirm directly before committing.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
BLACKOUT presents a purposeful counterpoint to Las Vegas spectacle: it lives off the Strip in a commercial suite and places the meal — not the room — at center stage. The program leans into intimacy and quiet focus, trading theatrical flourishes for a concentrated sensory experience. Its vegetarian seven-course mystery tasting and pared-back surroundings feel contemporary and low-ceremony, which makes the restaurant read like a local, modern alternative to boulevard dining. Expect a measured, deliberate evening where the kitchen's progression and your table’s conversation are the primary draws.
Best For
This is a destination for milestone evenings and thoughtful celebrations. The restaurant’s occasion-dining format and seven-course mystery plant-based tasting naturally suit date nights, anniversaries, and small-group celebrations where the food is the event. Because BLACKOUT operates away from the Strip’s theatrics, it’s especially well suited to diners seeking a private-feeling, concentrated experience—pairs and intimate groups who want to prioritize the progression and surprise of a tasting menu over spectacle will get the most out of a visit.
Ordering Tips
Reserve in advance and plan to take the kitchen’s tasting sequence: the seven-course mystery plant-based menu is the restaurant’s signature offering. Highlights to look for on the menu include the Pumpkin soup and the Onyx cocktail; both are singled out as signature items. Given the “Dining in the Dark” framing and the occasion-driven format, arrive with a willingness to let the kitchen lead and expect a paced, multi-course evening rather than casual à la carte service.

Restaurant context
How BLACKOUT compares in Las Vegas
BLACKOUT is the choice when the dinner itself needs to feel more experience-led than category-led. High Steaks Vegas is easier to judge before booking because its steakhouse and game-meat focus is clear. If the group wants to know the lane in advance, High Steaks Vegas is the safer call.
DØUBLE ZERØ PIE & PUB is the better backup for a casual, lower-pressure meal, while Java Vegas and Serrano Vista Cafe make more sense when convenience and simplicity beat atmosphere. Ping Pang Pong is the comparison to consider when the group wants a more conventional restaurant decision rather than a format-driven night.
Booking difficulty is listed as easy, which makes BLACKOUT useful when a plan needs to come together without a long lead time. The tradeoff is less visible detail around cuisine and pricing, so it is worth choosing only when the group is comfortable with that uncertainty.
