Are you currently visiting Las Vegas? Take a break from the luxuriant casinos and get yourself a healthy, antioxidant-rich drink to get the energy you need in order to keep your head in this exciting city.
I like Las Vegas, and I visit once in a while for a weekend getaway since it is only one short direct flight from Portland, where I live.
I don't gamble (OK, to be honest, I probably put about $20 for the entire weekend in Las Vegas), but I do love the food and city-like atmosphere since I grew up in Tokyo; maybe I resonate.
Although matcha tea is not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Las Vegas’ specific food and beverages, there are plenty of places around the Strip that are dedicated to tea enthusiasts. But if you would love to taste a unique flavor, this tea may be perfect for you. Do you know where you can find the best options? At those sites that offer you an overview of all sorts of casino promotions. Check here for free and have a blast with the deals.
To make things easier for you, I created a list of the top places where you can get your favorite Japanese matcha tea and take some rest after some intense gambling, online or offline. Las Vegas can be overwhelming in the best possible way—bright lights, late nights, endless entertainment—but sometimes your body craves something grounding and simple. That’s where matcha comes in. Unlike sugary cocktails or energy drinks, a well-prepared bowl of Japanese green tea gives you a calm, steady boost without the crash. For me, sipping matcha in the middle of the desert feels almost poetic—a quiet moment of balance in a city built on excitement.
Everything matcha
If you consider yourself a matcha tea enthusiast, you must not miss Matcha Café Maiko, a Japanese dessert shop that sells products made exclusively from green tea. Maiko is by far the matcha heaven of Vegas, as it has lots of options available on the menu, like shaved ice or soft-serve ice cream. If you’re looking for an authentic experience at a reasonable price, you have to stop by. They even have green tea-infused soft serve with a gold leaf inside a cone for only $8!
What I appreciate most about Matcha Café Maiko is the depth of flavor in their matcha. It’s not overly sweet or artificial tasting, but smooth, slightly bitter, and beautifully balanced—the way proper Japanese matcha should be. Whether you choose a classic matcha latte or one of their creative desserts, you can taste the quality in every bite and sip. It’s the kind of place where you slow down, enjoy the moment, and briefly forget you’re in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip.
I wrote about this shop in my other blog post, Green Tea Mania's Selfish Guide to Japanese Green Tea and Hawaii. You can click here to see the Hawaii version of this shop. I love this shop.
This fancy place can be found at 3400 S Jones Blvd 3. Las Vegas, NV 89146
Cute looking glasses
Next on the list, we have Mr. Tea, a coffee, tea, and ice cream shop that serves its drinks in glasses that are shaped like lightbulbs and decorated with cartoonish faces. There are many matcha tea combinations you have to try out, such as the matcha latte with adjustable levels of sweetness. They also have everyone’s favorite matcha-rolled ice cream and waffles.
What makes Mr. Tea special is the experience—it feels youthful and energetic, much like Las Vegas itself. The presentation adds a sense of fun, but the flavors don’t disappoint. Whether you prefer your matcha creamy and sweet or more balanced and earthy, you can customize your drink and enjoy it in a relaxed, casual setting before heading back into the bright lights of the city.

Sweet Matcha Desert
For those who have a sweet tooth, we warmly recommend Is Sweet. This glamorous dessert place has the classic matcha frappes and teas, but they also sell some delicious crepes mixed with everyone’s favorite green tea ice cream. Eating this fine dessert is just as great as winning the jackpot at a slot machine.
What I enjoy most about Is Sweet is the balance between indulgence and elegance. The presentation is refined, the flavors are comforting, and the atmosphere feels slightly upscale without being intimidating. It’s the perfect place to slow down, treat yourself, and enjoy matcha in a way that feels both luxurious and playful—very much in the spirit of Las Vegas itself.
You can grab your tasty matcha at 5288 Spring Mountain Road, Suite 101, Las Vegas, NV 89146
Hotels have amazing Tea Lounges
If you’re having a lazy day and you decide to stay in the hotel room, you can take your matcha tea products directly from the restaurant. The highest-quality green tea can be found at the Tea Lounge in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. They serve the finest infusions in the world, and the view is simply stunning—a floor-to-ceiling panorama of Las Vegas Boulevard and its prestigious casinos. There are vegan and gluten-free options and special offers for kids available on the menu, so the whole family is welcome to the Tea Lounge.
What makes this experience special is the atmosphere. Unlike the energetic buzz of the casino floor, the Tea Lounge feels calm, refined, and almost meditative. With vegan and gluten-free options, as well as thoughtful selections for children, it’s a welcoming space for everyone. Sitting there with a perfectly prepared cup of green tea, high above the Strip, feels like discovering a quiet sanctuary in the heart of the city.
This stunning hotel is located at 3752 Las Vegas Boulevard South. Las Vegas, NV 89109
A maison for tea lovers
Another elegant location where you can have a fresh drink is the Tea Maison, a juice bar with many specialties like avocado slush, boba milk tea, matcha tea, and even mango pomelo sago. This is the perfect place to spend your afternoon with some friends and get energized before the poker tournament or that legendary party.
What I appreciate about Tea Maison is its balance between modern trends and comforting flavors. The drinks are beautifully presented, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared, making each visit feel a little special. Whether you’re craving something fruity and light or rich and matcha-forward, this spot delivers a refreshing pause before you step back into the city’s nonstop energy.

This guide is supposed to be Matcha Mania's selfish guide, I know.
But some of you already know I’m also a little obsessed with coffee.
So, gather around as I spill the beans on my favorite caffeine oasis in the heart of Las Vegas – the ultimate place to get my coffee fix and indulge in the most delightful desserts. It's like a slice of Italy right here in the City of Lights.
Eataly has a special soft spot in my heart because it reminds me of my trip to Italy, where I experienced a unique coffee culture where Espresso took all the spotlight. (Read here the blog post about my visit to Italy.)
Eataly at Park MGM uses Lavazza coffee beans (One of the biggest coffee brands in the world and a symbol of the Italian coffee experience) to make their espresso-based drinks.
For me, discovering matcha in Las Vegas is a reminder that even in the most extravagant places, there is always room for simplicity and tradition. A carefully whisked bowl of green tea or a thoughtfully prepared latte brings a sense of grounding that contrasts beautifully with the city’s bright lights and endless motion. Whether you are a dedicated matcha enthusiast or simply curious to explore something new, I hope this little selfish guide helps you find your own quiet, flavorful escape in the middle of the desert.
They also have a diverse collection of irresistible-looking sweet treats on display.
Get your coffee fix and make your dessert dreams come true at Eataly, Park MGM, located at 3770 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
This wraps up our top matcha tea locations in Las Vegas, where you can have a healthy snack and a refreshing drink. Who would have thought that Sin City was not just a place filled with temptation but also a sanctuary for tea?
P.S: Sorry, nothing to do with tea, but Las Vegas has a Speakeasy and this is the entrance. Can you tell where I am? :)
Mama Chai's
Mama Chai's, located at 4240 Spring Mountain Road in the bustling heart of Chinatown, stands out as a vibrant specialty tea and dessert shop. The venue offers a broad array of unique and traditional beverages, including milk teas, fresh fruit teas, specialty yogurt beverages, and ice-blended drinks. With its lively indoor atmosphere and tranquil outdoor patio seating, Mama Chai's provides the perfect setting for a variety of occasions, from a serene study space for students to a dynamic change of scenery for professionals. Additionally, its proximity to the premium all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant, Mr BBQ, makes it an excellent choice for a complete dining experience, ideal for both date nights and outings with friends.
The menu at Mama Chai’s is as diverse as it is tempting, featuring a wide selection of refreshing beverages and exquisite desserts. Guests can indulge in assorted mochi donuts, tanghulu, and specialty cream puffs, all freshly handcrafted on-site. The commitment to quality is evident in their choice of ingredients, from natural cane sugar to real fruit and the finest tea leaves. Moreover, the customization options add a personal touch, allowing customers to enhance their beverages with various toppings such as boba, sea salt foam, lychee jelly, and aloe. This combination of high-quality ingredients, meticulous preparation, and a warm, inviting atmosphere ensures every visit to Mama Chai’s is both delightful and memorable.
What makes Mama Chai’s particularly appealing is the balance between creativity and authenticity. While the menu embraces modern tea trends and visually stunning desserts, the flavors remain well-crafted and satisfying rather than overly sweet. Whether you stop by for a refreshing fruit tea on a warm Vegas afternoon or a comforting milk tea after dinner in Chinatown, the experience feels thoughtful and carefully curated. It’s the kind of place where you can linger, experiment with new flavors, and enjoy a relaxed moment away from the energy of the Strip.
Conclusion
Las Vegas may be famous for its casinos, neon lights, and nonstop energy, but as this selfish guide proves, it also offers quiet corners for tea lovers seeking balance and refinement. From authentic Japanese matcha desserts to elegant hotel tea lounges and even a comforting Italian espresso at Eataly, the city surprises you with its diversity of flavors. Whether you’re recharging between adventures or simply craving a moment of calm in the desert, a thoughtfully prepared cup of green tea can transform your Vegas experience into something unexpectedly serene and memorable.
