Make an evening of Cleaver.

🥩 Portraits over dinner

Cleaver gives a steak dinner a playful backdrop near the Las Vegas Convention Center. Napoleonic portraits share the room with background music, while the kitchen moves between custom steak preparations and comfort food. Cocktails sit alongside a full dinner here, with finer spirits forming part of the appeal.

The menu stretches from creamy pork belly mac and cheese to fresh oysters, seafood chowder in a bread bowl, and hearty wedge salads. That range leaves room for a seafood leaning meal alongside the meats. Founder Nectaly Mendoza is a lifetime Las Vegas resident, bringing his drinks expertise to this steakhouse and lounge.

Head to the back of the strip mall on Paradise Road for Cleaver. The restaurant opens daily from 5 PM until midnight, giving the evening a clear window for drinks and dinner. Plan around those hours when pairing a meal with time near the convention center.
