Eating with abandon in Las Vegas...

By Carly Milne

If it's been a while since you've visited, it might be time to take another look at Sin City - and all the great places to eat while you're there.

With so many great restaurants to choose from, it's hard to know where to begin. If you're a seafood lover, Eating in Las VegasEating in Las Vegasyour best bet is Sushi Roku located in the Forum Shops at Cesar's Palace. Starting your evening off with their Japanese Yellowtail Sashimi with Diced Chiles or Baked Cod in Sweet Miso will ensure you have a great time. And adding drinks like the Pama Shade or Pear Blossom will only make it better.

True carnivores can get their meat on right next door at Boa Steakhouse, with a variety of steak, lamb and chicken to appease even the pickiest eater. But those looking for what can only be described as a transcendent dining experience need look no further than Nove. While the view from the 53rd floor of the Fantasy Tower is breathtaking, it's the food that will leave you weak at the knees.

After whetting your whistle with a signature cocktail like the Nove Mojo or the Pink Pussycat, dig in to an order of Crostacei, a giant plate of shellfish so fresh, you'll wonder where they're hiding an ocean in the desert.

Another great option is the Salumi, featuring cured meats, olives, pecorino cheese and ciabatta. Pasta fans will love Sunday Gravy or the Pappardelle Bolognese, while meat eaters will flip for the bone-in ribeye served al forno style, with parmesan and garlic on top.

For a quieter environment with still-amazing food, try The Restaurant at The Platinum. While the Roasted Colorado Lamb Shoulder is to die for, you'll want to make sure you save room for the chocolate mousse, dusted with pop rocks. Sound odd? It is... and yet, it's delicious!

  • On Surviving a Hurricane While Traveling, Lisa S. said "Growing up in good ole NC, I have survived my share of storms. Actually, where I sit currently (on a barrier island) has been under water many times. Staying on an island is scary. We leave if it is over a CAT 1. The most important thing for us is to fill our gas tanks at the first inkling that there may be a storm. Water, medicines, non perishable food, they're all really important. Honestly, if it is a big storm, alcohol later serves as pay for work. We stock up on EVERYTHING. We start eating out of the freezer days before (like we did tonight, getting ready for Earl). You don't want much to go bad. Then we tie up all the trash cans, secure grills, and hold on for dear life :)"
