In a survey of the best late-night food spot In every state, foodie site Chowhound looked for restaurants that get “rave reviews for providing delicious food and good service at a time when many people might be drifting off to dreamland.” We might take issue with their requirement of being open until at least 11 p.m.; late-night to us starts at midnight. Be that as it may, Nevada’s best spot, according to Chowhound, is Starboard Tack, one of Las Vegas’ original seafood restaurants. It set sail in 1972 out on E. Sahara near Pecos and was open 24 hours, known for its nautical decor, graveyard specials, and its status as a go-to bar for casino workers getting off all three shifts. The owner-landlord closed the restaurant in 1990 and leased the building, which turned into Gilligan’s Hideaway. That bar had a respectable run of 27 years; after it closed, two locals revived Starboard Tack in 2017. Today, it’s known for serving the best (self-proclaimed) Mai Tai in Vegas, good fish and chips, oysters, and a crab Rangoon dip. And yes, it’s nothing if not late night: It’s open again 24/7 in the original location.
