Ay Ay Ay! Mexican Cuisine
It took a minute to get seated at Ay Ay Ay! Mexican Cuisine — the place was packed — but this Henderson hot spot was worth the wait: We were floored by the ceviche de camaron, and the creamy lobster enchiladas were delicious, too.

Bazaar Meat
After more than a decade at the Sahara, Bazaar Meat by José Andrés has reopened at Palazzo, and it’s better than ever. (Trust me, I helped open the first edition.) Expect the same stunning selection of steaks and the city’s best tartars, plus something the original didn’t have: full plated desserts. Try the baba queimada, a tableside masterpiece of fluffy rum-soaked cake and brown butter ice cream.

Bar Boheme
A modern French bistro celebrating the Belle Epoque in the Arts District? The idea is inspired, and so is the execution. Savor the mussels with white wine and tarragon mustard. Taste the perfect trout amandine — delicate, brown buttery, and balanced with lemon. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

Nonna’s Pasta Club
Why just taste it when you can also make it — with help from a pasta professional? Chef Gina Marinelli is offering Nonna’s Pasta Club once a month at La Strega. For $100 a person, you can put your hands in the dough, learn how to shape and cut corzetti and cavatelli, and enjoy all the carbs from class. You even get to take home a goodie bag filled with pasta and recipe cards.

Chamon Las Vegas
If tempura tempts your tastebuds, get to Chamon on Spring Mountain. It’s the area’s first authentic tendon spot, serving a beloved Japanese dish that combines crispy tempura and steamed rice topped with a sweet and savory broth-based sauce. In addition to delicious shrimp and various veggies, meat lovers must try the A5 Wagyu steak bowl. Its melt-in-your-mouth marbling packs an umami punch you’ll keep thinking about long after you’re done.
