DECADENT DINING

In a city filled with more than 40 celebrity chefs, restaurants need to up the stakes when it comes to clever menu items. Ordinary mac and cheese gets a refreshing update with lobster and a story to boot. A chocolate mousse becomes instantly Instagrammable with the addition of a restaurant’s namesake crooner’s hat. A story of a honeymooner chef creating an extravagant dish for his new bride’s breakfast becomes an iconic dish. Here, a look at 11 of the most innovative dishes in Las Vegas with the stories behind each. SINATRA HAT AT SINATRA Head to Frank Sinatra’s namesake restaurant at Encore for a clever take on chocolate mousse—the Sinatra Hat. Executive chef Theo Schoenegger used to cook for the Sinatra at San Domenico in New York and still features many of his favorite dishes on the menu. The dessert features chocolate mousse and a milk chocolate panna cotta on the side. Sinatra, Encore, 888.320.7110

FOIE GRAS CUSTARD BRÛLÉE AT SAGE Chef Shawn McClain mixes savory and sweet with his creation that combines foie gras and crème brûlée at Sage at Aria. Blood orange, cocoa nibs and salted brioche make this an even more decadent dish. Sage, Aria, 877.230.2742 ROASTED BEEF WELLINGTON AT GORDON RAMSAY STEAK Gordon Ramsay brings his own spin on beef Wellington to his first Las Vegas restaurant, Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris. While the beef filet takes center stage, wild mushrooms wrapped in puff pastry with Parma ham, all swaddled in a red wine sauce, make this a memorable dish. Gordon Ramsay Steak, Paris, 702.946.4663

Burger Bar fame won Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters” with his In the Shower Mac and Cheese, a dish he created during a college dorm room challenge. Lobster and vegetables topped with Gruyère cheese come in a cast-iron pot with a crunchy crust. Fleur, Mandalay Bay, 702.632.7200 LANGOUSTINES AT COSTA DI MARE The langoustines at Costa di Mare are legendary at Wynn. The restaurant with its own lagoon views sources these tiny lobsters from an obscure island off the coast of Italy not found on any map. The menu dubs these appetizers as “the single best live langoustines on the planet.” Costa di Mare, Wynn, 702.770.3463

ICE CREAM TASTING GAME AT RM SEAFOOD Sure, it’s just ice cream. But what flavor is it? Try to guess all 16 varieties of ice cream and sorbet served blind at RM Seafood at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place and you could eat the dessert for free. Flavors created by chef Rick Moonen run the gamut from garlic to Bing cherry. RM Seafood, The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702.632.9300

spent his honeymoon in Hawaii, and when he decided to whip up a breakfast for his new bride using her favorite ingredients, he called room service to deliver. The Caviar Parfait features hash browns, egg salad, smoked salmon, whipped lemon crème fraîche and caviar. Michael Mina, Bellagio, 702.693.8865 MT. FUJI AT ANDREA’S The Mt. Fuji at Andrea’s at Encore takes 24 hours to create, but the result is worth the wait. The dessert made with devil’s food cake layered with a Myers dark rum mousse is coated with a 64 percent dark chocolate followed by meringue. Table side, the server pours Bacardi 151 over the one-foot tall dessert and lights it on fire. Andrea’s, Encore, 702.770.5340 BUTTERMILK FRIED DUCK CONFIT AT ROBERT IRVINE’S PUBLIC HOUSE Love fried chicken? How about duck confit? Combine the two with Food Network star Robert Irvine’s buttermilk fried duck confit, complete with a side of fiery

Sriracha sauce. Robert Irvine’s Public House, Tropicana, 800.462.8767 LEMON SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP AT GIADA Lemon has a special place on the menu of Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis’ eponymous restaurant at The Cromwell. It certainly adds a California lightness to Italian fare. The “Giada at Home” host uses the citrus in her iconic lemon spaghetti with shrimp as well as her favorite dessert, lemon ricotta cookies. Giada, The Cromwell, 702.777.3777 ARTICHOKE AND BLACK TRUFFLE SOUP AT RESTAURANT GUY SAVOY Whoever thought that soup could be considered innovative? Guy Savoy takes it from a simple starter to a must-order at his eponymous restaurant. The mainstay features artichokes and black truffles, served with a toasted mushroom brioche and black truffle butter. Go ahead and order two. Restaurant Guy Savoy, Caesars Palace, 702.731.7286 17

THE GUIDE

Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE

Natalee Simmons

Concierge supervisor at Cosmpolitan Q: Tell me about one of your favorite places to send first-time Vegas visitors. A: I love to send them to the High Roller at the Linq Promenade. I always recommend they take the 30-minute ride during sunset. Visitors would never guess that we have some of the most beautiful sunsets in Las Vegas because of our surrounding mountains. It’s a great way to see the valley and the sparking lights of the Strip. Q: I want to update my Facebook photo. What should I have in the background of my selfie? A: You have to take a selfie with The Chandelier at the Cosmopolitan. The sparkling crystals will be your background and the lighting will make you look like a million bucks. Q: Where should I eat if I want to celebrate a special occasion? A: I love Estiatorio Milos. The semi-private dining room overlooking the Strip is a great way celebrate any occasion. It is classy and beautiful with the lights of the busy Strip lighting the room. You can also choose to pull back the sheers on the windows if you want to be seen or keep them closed for more privacy. The cuisine, dining experience and service are always on point. Q: What’s the craziest request you’ve ever had from a guest? A: We get many crazy requests. I think one of the most random requests we have had was when a guest requested a monkey and a mariachi band to play in the room for a birthday party. Oftentimes guests want the “Hangover” experience until they realize the cost. Q: What’s the must-see show in Las Vegas right now? A: For the adult crowd, “Absinthe” is the best. I also enjoy “Le Rêve—The Dream” and recommend that to many guests as it is a great option for all ages. Find more answers on wheretraveler.com. 54 W H E R E L A S V E G A S I N O V E M B E R 2017

History

The Las Vegas Golden Knights kick off their inaugural NHL season at T-Mobile Arena. Hockey fans can celebrate their love of the NHL’s newest team by treating themselves to a gold-plated adventure in Las Vegas. The Lago Cocktail from (1) Lago by Julian Serrano (Bellagio, 702.693.7111) gilds its signature drink with a dusting of golden flakes that sit on top of a mix of Absolut Elyx Vodka, Mancino Vermouth Secco, orange blossom syrup and butterfly pea flower extract. The gold-draped (3) Jewel Nightclub (Aria, 702.590.8000) features a décor replete in gold and lights that look like sparkling jewels. French chef (3) Joël Robuchon (MGM Grand, 702.891.7925) starts his tasting menus with a caviar dish topped with Le Caviar Imperial and an edible 24-karat gold leaf.

Take some time out of your travels to just relax at a spa. Head to one of the 10 treatment rooms, fully appointed lounges, herbal steam rooms and saunas at the (1) Golden Nugget Spa (Golden Nugget, 702.385.7111). A manicure and pedicure room, complete salon and fitness rooms round out the amenities. (2) Qua Baths & Spa (Caesars Palace, 702.731.7822) fills out 51 treatment studios including three deluxe couples studios, two personalized hydrotherapy tubs, three Vichy showers, seven facial studios, 35 massage studios and a Crystal Room. Ask for the tea sommelier. (3) Espa (Vdara, 702.590.2474) features an 18,000-square-foot, two-level spa, salon and fitness center that uses ingredients with herbs, flowers, fruits, vegetables and essential oils in its treatments.

Discover the rich history of Las Vegas, spanning neon, mobsters and atomic energy. The (1) Neon Museum (770 Las Vegas Blvd. N., 702.387.6366) preserves Las Vegas’ rich history through one of its most iconic art forms: the neon sign. This two-acre, outdoor museum is home to more than 200 neon signs dating from the 1930s to present day. See the thrilling story of organized crime and law enforcement with one-of-a-kind artifacts at the (2) Mob Museum (300 E. Stewart Ave., 702.229.2734). Photography and exhibits of post-Cold War era weaponry make up the (3) National Atomic Testing Museum (755 E. Flamingo Road, 702.794.5124). The museum, affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, also takes a look at pop culture and sociological trends of the era.
