Little late but here’s what I thought. Went with my wife and two other friends. We spent most time together, but met up with the other two guys for dinner most nights. I called this our food-cation haha. Cheat week of how I regularity eat. Also had a badly torn hamstring when we went , so limped the strip in 36° C heat. Couldn’t have done it without a bunch of extra strength pills lol
Favourite places we ate
1. Hell’s Kitchen- glad we made a reso (week in advance and best seating was at 9:40, not that it mattered much, since we were in Vegas doing things after all)
Lobster risotto, a must! I had his beef Wellington with fois, damn!!! My wife had the braised short rib, tasty but the Wellington was perfect! Had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert, did not disappoint!
2. Spago- Wolfgang Puck
Tuna tartare was amazing! We shared the artisanal salumi pizza and fettuccine with field mushrooms. Blown away with both dishes!!
3.Vic and Anthony’s steakhouse in the golden nugget casino
Old school steak house, very dim setting.
Raw oysters to start, good but not anything special.
I had the wagyu ribeye.... stupidly tasty! The wife had the fillet and we shared king crab. Fillet was alright, but she preferred my wagyu ribeye.
Got au gratin potatoes and asparagus for the table. Best asparagus ever! Potatoes I could’ve made at home
Dessert was a banana fosters dessert & ice cream inside a chocolate globe, melted with caramel by the waiter, very good!
Other notables.
Voodoo rooftop night club. We got hooked up getting a table with a awesome bottle of vodka with a bunch of accompaniments. Music was mostly late 90’s early 2000 rnb, hip hop etc..
Haha that was a blackout night. Ended up with a dirty burger and fries back at the hotel restaurant .
Cirque du soleil mystere- amazing show, lots of laughs as well! Don’t be late to one of these as a few late comers got picked on and included in the act!!
Carlos bakery- tried his famous cannolis and lobster tails. I found the lobster tails way better!
Misses
Tried the buffet in the link hotel, really could’ve done without this, but wanted to experience one (had good reviews)
Sugarcane
Good food, but nothing to blow you away. Went here as a late night option , as nothing else was open. Doubt I’d go back if I had a choice.
On the fence...
Cucina by Wolfgang Puck
Calamari to start, was good but nothing special. I got the carbonara pizza. Good ,but the one at Spago was miles better in terms of flavour (even the crust tasted like a different recipe, or they didn’t execute properly)
Wife’s chicken parm was average.
The saving grace was the tiramisu. Probably the best one I’ve ever had!
I would give it another go, getting different dishes just to get the tiramisu again.
