The owners behind the popular Sorry Not Sorry Creamery are getting in on the smash burger craze with With Love, Always. Burgers start with fresh Black Angus patties seared on a hot griddle until they develop a lacy crust. They come loaded with toppings like American cheese and super thinly sliced onions on a potato roll. The burger restaurant offers soft-serve custard, dipped the old-school way in cherry and birthday cake-flavored coatings. 

Chef Joel Myers, most recently executive chef of Osteria Fiorella at Red Rock Resort, helms the kitchen with pasta made in-house — like a rotolo served upright in a play on French onion soup with cheese and caramelized onions. There’s also spaghetti with red sauce and veal meatballs, linguine and clams, and a colorful plate of veal carpaccio with tuna sashimi. Dessert is a show-stopping event, with an elaborate three-tiered presentation of small cakes and treats. And, true to its name, Ciao Vino offers an impressive selection of wine by the glass.

This new steakhouse near the Strat is themed to a Prohibition-era Las Vegas with a chandelier-filled room, dry-aged steaks, and a dedicated whiskey selection. The steak options span dry and wet-aged, American wagyu and Japanese Kobe wagyu. And dinner starts with chilled seafood towers laden with Maine lobster tail, oysters, jumbo shrimp, lump crab, and clams on the half shell, Order a chocolate souffle 30 minutes before you’re ready for dessert as it takes time to bake and is served hot and fluffy.

 Chamon goes all in on onigiri and tempura. The tight menu features tempura bowls and a grab-and-go selection of onigiri. A tendon bowl piles hot and crispy ebi shrimp, soft-boiled eggs, lotus rook, and enoki mushrooms over steamed rice. Precisely shaped triangles of onigiri combine seasoned rice with salmon ikura, edamame, and spicy takana greens.

Yellowstone’s Taylor Sheridan partners with Wynn Las Vegas with an elaborate pop-up that merges the Texas barbecue of his Four Sixes Ranch with the extravagance that one can expect from Wynn Las Vegas. Think 28-ounce cowboy steaks, tableside desserts, and sumptuous hatch chile biscuits. Master mixologist Mariena Mercer Boarini helms the cocktail menu with smoky Old Fashioneds and spicy margaritas.

The industry veterans behind Piero’s Italian Cuisine and Table 34 have opened a new fine-dining Italian restaurant. Menu highlights include a pan-fried swordfish Milanese in a caviar sauce, braised beef cheek pizza laden with dollops of goat cheese, and a toast layered in ’nduja, caciocavallo cheese, and caramelized onions. Stay late, sipping cocktails like one that emulates a caprese salad — with tomato gin and flavors of balsamic vinegar, strawberry, lemon, basil, and cucumber — until 3 a.m.

Spiegelworld’s new production, Discoshow, debuts on September 7, but its new adjacent restaurant is open now.  Where Discoshow will be all things drag, eccentricity, and acrobatics, Diner Ross approaches the ’70s theme with classic records on the walls, decade-specific ephemera, inventive new cocktails behind the bar, and food that veers away from traditional diner fare. On the heels of the excellent smash burger at Absinthe’s No Pants, the burger here is similarly impressive with a steakhouse blend coated in black pepper and layered with aioli and roasted cherries with a side of gravy for dunking.

José Andrés’s newest Las Vegas restaurant celebrates all things under the sea. A selection of fresh fish is available in preparations such as sashimi and salt-baked and presented whole. Small plates come with delicate shells filled with spicy tuna tartare and Japanese peaches paired with burrata and hazelnut praline. Dessert is a whimsical affair with a crumb sandcastle in a nod to key lime pie.

Mark Wahlberg’s Flecha Cantina in Town Square occupies more than 10,000 square feet at the outdoor shopping area on Las Vegas Boulevard. The upscale restaurant serves a selection of ceviche, seafood enchiladas, and a Sunday morning brunch buffet.

Brunch is a larger-than-life affair at this new Mexican restaurant. Slip through a pantry shelf that disguises a door to enter the brunch-dedicated restaurant. Birria tacos are served atop a miniature food truck, cocktails come served in a replica of Chichén Itzá, and poblano pepper and corn empanadas dangle from a clothesline. 

The New York-based restaurant with sushi, sashimi, and an array of hot Japanese specialties serves dishes like hamachi with sliced jalapeno, delicate bites of nigiri, uni shooters, and platters of sashimi. The Henderson location also serves the Blue Ribbon fried chicken with wasabi honey.

Italian food takes the form of stuffed artichokes topped with parmesan and garlic, buttery chicken with white wine, chicken marsala topped with mushrooms, and bone-in veal parmigiana. At the bar, sip nitro-infused espresso martinis or lay claim to the permanent, monogrammed lockers to fill with spirits and wines of your choice, available for each visit.
