We’ve made a checklist of the most buzzed-about restaurants you need to try now. Start your culinary adventure at Libertine Social, a next-generation gastropub in Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Within its hip environs, James Beard Award-winning Executive Chef Shawn McClain serves elevated New American bar food (think marinated tuna cones and roasted Petaluma chicken) paired with modern cocktails, along with throwbacks from the ‘60s through ‘80s and drinks on draft. Move on to Beauty & Essex, a posh restaurant and lounge hidden away inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Sip cocktails in the luxe Pearl Lounge before heading in to one of the ornate jewelry box-themed dining rooms. Chef Chris Santos (of Food Network’s Chopped) has created memorable shareable plates with a global influence, including chile relleno empanadas and French onion soup dumplings. Pub 365 at Tuscany Suites & Casino is known for its rotating roster of 365 beers (both big names and small), with 40 on tap. Ask to see the Unicorn List, offering unique and hard-to-find craft brews for the true connoisseur (such as the Evil Twin Molotov Cocktail). The pub fare includes burgers and locally popular tacos with some menu items infused with…you guessed it: beer! Tuna Tartare at Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill ©Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill Be ready to rock at the Japanese pop culture-inspired Sake Rok, located in The Park. Upscale Japanese cuisine and expertly made sushi are served in a rollicking atmosphere of impromptu dance parties and lip-syncing serenades led by the high-energy servers/performers. Try the pan-seared scallops drizzled with yuzu soy-butter sauce or the literally smoking Godzilla platter piled high with specialty sushi rolls. Pantry ©MGM Resorts International Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has modeled his namesake Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips on a takeaway-style British restaurant. Located at The LINQ Promenade, the eatery features Ramsay’s signature crispy fish and chips, along with proper bangers and mash, rich seafood chowder and over-the-top sweets such as a sticky toffee pudding milkshake and a Biscoff milkshake. Guests can view the chefs in action as they prepare made-to-order meals. Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill, located on Restaurant Row at The Venetian, exudes the spirt of Old Havana. Award-winning Chef Timon Balloo’s exotic small plates encourage tasting and sharing. Try the pig ear pad Thai or the Spanish octopus with aji panca (Peruvian chili peppers). Be sure to order a refreshing rum cocktail, like the Basil Quencher. Bottiglia Cucina & Enoteca at Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa and Casino offers a bounty of rustic Tuscan cuisine. The house specialty is papperdella bolognese, a mouthwatering mélange of braised short ribs, truffle ricotta and piquillo pepper gravy. After dinner, enjoy a digestif by the fire pit on the patio, surrounded by natural beauty. Goose Island Pub at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino features an extensive selection of its own specialty brews, along with gastropub fare that pays homage to its Chicago roots. Try the pizza dip served in a mini cast iron skillet or the Sloppy Dog, made with a Vienna beef hot dog and homemade chili.
