The best experiences in town for foodies

DINING

Welcome to the fabulous Las Vegas epicurean experience! Whether you fancy steak, seafood, sushi, cuisine from the hottest celebrity chefs or amazing cocktail creations, you’d be remiss if you didn’t try these 20 dishes and drinks that’ll have you cry “oh my!”

1

SURF & TURF AT THE PALM Simply put, this restaurant is an institution.

Known as the home of the ultimate power lunch, you’ll return time and again for The Palm’s succulent steak and seafood—don’t even think of leaving without sticking a fork into the lobster!

POPOVERS AT BLT STEAK So simple, so delicious. These warm and fluff y popovers are the perfect start to any meal. Plus, they’re laced with gruyére cheese—could bread BE any better? Butter them up and shake sea salt on them. Heavenly. This restaurant’s menu recently got a shakeup when Ariel Malone, season 15 winner of “Hell’s Kitchen,” became its head chef, but the popovers are on the menu to stay, whether you come in for dinner or the fabulous Sterling Brunch. It’s just one thing to be thankful for this month.

GODZILLA PLATTER AT SAKE ROK Can’t decide which of the amazing sushi roll creations you want to try at rockin’ Japanese sensation Sake Rok? You don’t have to. Sample away and fill up on this platter!

Being indecisive has never yielded better results—you even get a smoking Godzilla to boot (but alas, can’t take him home).

E~LV-WM_161100_04_g_Where_Now.indd 9

enough of. The pastries are topped with a delicious harissa lime crème fraîche.

We love anything Giada De Laurentiis puts in front of us, but the bucatini is something special.

The Food Network star and Las Vegas darling’s pasta is fresh and light, hammering home the fact that one can eat healthy and still eat delicious. The dining room is almost as glorious as the cuisine, and lets in the natural light.

TASTING MENU AT JOËL ROBUCHON The reason we flock to this “Chef of the Century’s” namesake restaurant? The top-notch service and exquisite cuisine that set it apart

from every other restaurant in Vegas. Meals are served as tasting menus only, and you’ll savor every bite.

Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand, 702.891.7925

} STICKY TOFFEE

PUDDING SHAKE AT GORDON RAMSAY’S FISH & CHIPS A signature dish of this British chef, no dessert has made us want to start our meal with sweets so much as Gordon Ramsay’s sticky toffee pudding. It’s a dish you can find at all of Ramsay’s Las Vegas restaurants (at Paris Las Vegas, Caesars Palace and Planet Hollywood), but at Fish & Chips, you can find the rich, buttery treat in rare form—as a shake!

9

| MOSCOW MULE CART AT JARDIN The most novel bottle service in town serves up classic Moscow mules and creations with a twist. We can’t think of a better cocktail pairing for our meal than hoisting up one of these refreshing drinks in a copper cup, with a ladle for sharing.

SNACK WAGON AT HARVEST Small bites of culinary jewels can be found on chef Roy Ellamar’s

ponata and salsa verde for a taste that’s truly original.

Ask the beer cicerone for your perfect beer pairing.

Public House, The Venetian, 702.407.5310

imaginative snack wagon that weaves its way through the restaurant, urging you to indulge in tempting creations and ask questions of the chef.

Once a month, Ellamar “battles” with his chef colleagues over a rival cart.

Always a fun time!

Make no distinction between soft and hard cheeses here, because you’ll want to sample them all—spring for the Grande sampler and indulge away.

OTTO, inside the Grand Canal Shoppes, 702.677.3390

TUNA POKE STACK AT TOM MY BAHAMA RESTAURANT This truly delightful dish has ruined us for all other tuna poke.

The sushi-grade tuna is out of this world, and combined with guacamole, shallots, lime juice, cilantro, ginger, adobo and

truffle cheese and truffle glaze. Could a burger do any better?

Umami Burger, SLS Las Vegas, 702.761.7614

} LIBERTINE SOCIAL AT MANDALAY BAY Be sure to leave plenty of room for master mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim’s creative swizzles— they’re just another delicious touch in complementing chef Shawn McClain’s New American cuisine such as Parmesan churros, stuffed olives and harissa-grilled mussels.

Libertine Social, Mandalay Bay, 877.632.7800.

LA CAVE’S BUTLER STYLE BRUNCH No matter what you choose to dine on at this must-visit brunch, you won’t leave disappointed. But first on our list of musttastes are these fluff y pancakes with berry compote—a taste sensation far above and beyond any pancakes we’ve tried before.

For an exquisite view of the pool, sit on the lovely patio.

Everything else pales in comparison.

And speaking of margaritas, Mi Casa is the place to try concoctions made with peach, watermelon and grapefruit. The tequila menu features 65 premium varieties.

Q: What’s your favorite spot for a Las Vegas photo opp?

A: the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign at the south end of Las Vegas Blvd.

A: It would depend on the special occasion.

If it were a 21st birthday, for example, I would recommend Hakassan at MGM Grand for dinner, then on to Hakassan nightclub to end the evening. If it were an anniversary, I would recommend dinner at Rivea on the 64th floor of Delano Las Vegas to enjoy a wonderful meal, spectacular sunset and view of Las Vegas Blvd.

Q: What is your best Las Vegas tip?

A: The best tip I could give someone visiting Las Vegas is call ahead to the Concierge and arrange for the highlights of your visit in advance. As a concierge, I can often suggest something you may not know is out here in Las Vegas. If you have a special show, tour or dining experience that you want to experience, it is always best to make your reservations in advance.

A Love Letter to Nevada

Playful Park Dwellers

There’s so much to do at the thoughtful Las Vegas Springs Preserve —it displays the history and culture of Nevada through a look at its founding fathers (and mothers), desert landscaping, indigenous wildlife and vegetation and so much more. Watch out for a flash flood, discover the minerals and gemstones native to the land, learn how to reduce your carbon footprint and explore the walking trails that this attraction, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, has to offer. The interactive displays and videos alone could keep you busy for hours! Don’t forget to venture outside for a look at the lizard habitat and gray fox. 333 S. Valley View Blvd., 702.822.7700

Waiting for your friends to join you at The Park? You won’t have to wait alone —artist Nathan Sawaya’s “Park People” will keep you company. The large-scale, monochromatic installations are made entirely of LEGO bricks and pay tribute to the spirit of ingenuity. Discover them throughout park benches between NY-NY and Monte Carlo.

Take in all the marvels of the center Strip from the newest renovated hotel tower in town.

The Valley Tower at Harrah’s features sleek décor in warm tones of gray and purple accents; the suites include a separate bedroom, a living room with a dining area, as well as tranquil bathrooms, which come with a whirlpool tub. You can even expand the suite by purchasing a connecting room with two queen-sized beds. Standard and premium rooms come with one king bed or two queen beds, a table with two chairs and a desk. All this, and Harrah’s commitment to being a value-driven property hasn’t changed—you can check into these luxuries at a nice price! 702.369.5000

When it opened in 1941, El Cortez had a casino, restaurant, café, floor show and 59 rooms (these vintage rooms are still available to guests today); today, it has more than 360 rooms and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

[WHERE INSIDE]

Las Vegas Your Way

History Buffs

Fashionista

Romantics

Las Vegas museums are as entertaining as the Strip's best shows! Pay homage to iconic Vegas at the (1) Neon Museum, where you'll discover historic signs from beloved properties such as the Stardust, Sahara and Riviera.

You can also see the original, iconic pirate sign from Treasure Island! Go back to atomicera Nevada at the (2) National Atomic Testing Museum, which showcases merchandise and photos (such as Miss Atom Bomb), as well as offers simulations of an atomic blast. And you'll find a wealth of information about the good guys—and the bad—at the (3) Mob Museum; the interactive displays will keep you busy for hours. You can get up-close and personal with briefcase flasks, jewelry, guns, brass knuckles and so much more—be sure to allow plenty of time.

The biggest names on the fashion landscape are present in Las Vegas—not only in the world's most coveted brands, but in the shopping centers that offer them. (1) Forum Shops at Caesars is the wonder of the shopping world, and the globe's most profitable.

The three-level center has multiple fountains inside and out. (2) Fashion Show is Nevada's largest shopping paradise, with eight anchor stores and fashion shows that take place on its runway every weekend. Find the world's most elite brands at (3) The Shops at Crystals, including North America’s largest Louis Vuitton, the world’s largest Dolce & Gabbana Men’s and Women’s and the United States’ largest Prada boutique. It also features firstto-Vegas stores Tom Ford, Stella McCartney, Paul Smith, Lanvin and Sisley Paris.

There are as many ways to be romantic in Las Vegas as there are visitors. Spice up the evening with the naughtiness that unfolds in Cirque du Soleil's (1) Zumanity, which introduces you to all types of couples and is sassy and seductive, at New York-New York. Or, get up early and explore the city and its surrounding areas on the earliest form of flight, the hot air balloon, through (2) Vegas Balloon Rides; pick up a glass and make a Champagne toast to your romance. And, a romantic visit to Las Vegas wouldn't be complete without dinner at Paris Las Vegas' (3) Eiffel Tower Restaurant; you'll get caught up in Vegas' own lights, 11 stories above the Las Vegas Strip. It's tops for proposals; you can even surprise your intended with a ring presented atop a soufflé.

Such decadence is mandatory!
