Best Coffee: Dunkin’ Donuts (Multiple locations) Coffee houses be damned. Dunkin’s coffee is fresh and full-bodied, smells delicious and, with cream, constitutes a sound and satisfying wake-up call.

Best Breakfast Burritos

Fausto’s (7835 S. Rainbow Blvd., 407-9445; 595 College Drive, Henderson, 568-1220; 2654 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, Henderson, 617-2246) Fresh off the griddle, these rolled wonders burst with earthy goodness: bacon or ham, potatoes, eggs. Splash on the red salsa for some extra caliente.

Best Skillets

The Cracked Egg (Multiple locations) We’re partial to a chile verde/jalapeños/sour cream combo, but it’s tough to screw up the Cracked Egg’s build-your-own “Sin City Skillet” no matter what ingredients you’re into. Two eggs (we can’t decide if scrambled or over easy is better; both rule), melted cheese and whatever add-ons you want—from broccoli to Polish sausage—in a heaping stack served over fluffy seasoned potatoes. Damn, we’re suddenly hungry.

Best 24-hour Breakfast

Blueberry Hill (Multiple locations) This locally owned chain has been satisfying night owls and early birds alike since 1987. Every location has character to spare no matter the time of day, and the food certainly ain’t bad either. Best of all, it’s popular with the late-night crowd, so it’s great for some otherworldly people-watching, too.

Best Bagel

Weiss (2744 N. Green Valley Parkway, Henderson, 454-0565) These bagels are serious: big, chewy affairs, abundantly seasoned—from everything bagels to garlic or cinnamon raisin, there’s nothing wimpy or Frisbee-ish about them.
