Dinner at Blackout was absolutely amazing, what an experience! Having to put your cell phones and smart watches in a locker before entering and walking into the dining area in a conga line solely listening to the guidance from your server was a little nerve wracking at first, but once you sat down at your table (which was no easy feat) you began to feel somewhat “normal”. The servers are wearing night vision goggles and can see everything, meanwhile all we see is complete darkness. Having to rely solely on your sense of touch, smell, hearing and taste was pretty neat and before dinner was over we were able to grab and set back down our water goblets and alcoholic drinks with no issues. This is a SEVEN course meal, the entire pre-fixed menu is secretive at first and completely vegan!

Josh was our server and he was phenomenal, he definitely made the experience for us - we laughed until we were almost in tears through the entire night! The food was SO delicious and it was fun receiving hints and descriptions of what the food was in front of us while we would use our hands or some utensils to eat. At the end of the dinner we were so stuffed and ready to learn exactly what we ate. I would HIGHLY recommend this type of experience if you have the opportunity and if you do it in Vegas, be sure to ask for Josh!! 20/10 ⭐️

This is my second time visiting Blackout and I still love it. For starters, I can have anything on the menu because it's all vegan. The servers are funny and super helpful. There was a lady behind us who got a little panicked and they brought her a little light. I couldn't see it because my back was to her, but it's nice that they help you out if it's too much. I got the wine pairing and all of the wines were good. The food was good. The last time I was there, they didn't use fake meat, but this time they did. I think I like the old way better, but my husband likes the fake meat better. So I guess it's a matter of preference. It's really good and I think your senses are more in tune when you can't see. I'll go again for sure. I love this restaurant. I wish I could add photos, but everything was dark, so I'll just share a photo of the sign.

Our server was Kristen, she was fabulous!!! The ambience was great and we enjoyed our experience!!! The food was delicious and the music was perfect! I loved it. You get full and truly appreciate the taste of your food and it is not a rushed time. You sit and talk, laugh and explore. The food was good and nothing to be afraid of - delicious and full of flavor. Cocktails were delicious as well. It was a great way to celebrate my daughter’s birthday!

Carlos is the greatest thing to have happened to me and my mom during her trip to Vegas for my birthday!
I’m a local and have been here before. I believe I had Carlos as my waiter the first time too. He is HILARIOUS and excellent at his job. We arrived for one of the earliest reservations so we had to wait patiently for dishes to start coming out but it was no problem because we were so entertained by Carlos and tickled by the fact that we could not see a single thing! My mom and I giggled the whole time and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! You’ll be so pleasantly surprised at the end by what you ate!

A very unique experience. We had fun trying to guess what we were eating and the food was great. The service was even better, Carlos was so fun. He was an excellent waiter and bartender. He gave clear directions navigating us to our food and drinks, Carlos deserves a raise! I'll definitely come back once they switch up the menu.
