The George Sportsmen’s Lounge, Las Vegas NV

The George

Pepperoni Hot Honey Flatbread – marinara, pepperoni, mozzarella, hot honey drizzle, parmesan cheese, oregano

Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls – shaved ribeye, onion, bell peppers, white American cheese, fried wonton, three-cheese sauce

Short Rib Fries – braised short rib, three-cheese sauce, pickled onion, jalapeños, sour cream, smashed avocado

Street Corn Nachos – tortilla chips, fire-roasted corn, poblano peppers, black beans, pickled onions, three-cheese sauce, cotija cheese, cilantro, tajin

Hot Honey Chicken Mac & Cheese – three-cheese cavatappi, fried buttermilk chicken, hot honey drizzle, crispy onions, chives

Honey Sriracha Grilled Shrimp – jumbo shrimp, honey sriracha glaze, asian slaw, sesame seeds, chives

24-Hour Short Rib Sliders – slow-roasted short rib, horseradish cream, crispy onions, bun

Banana Pecan Bread Pudding – vanilla ice cream, anglaise, bourbon caramel sauce

Strawberry Shortcake – pound cake, strawberry coulis, lemon mascarpone cream, strawberries

Occupying the northeast corner of Durango Casino guests will find “The George,” a self-appointed Sportsmen’s Lounge that takes its name from classic big tippers and promises a place “where the party starts with you.”

Designed by Stations Casinos and Jonathan Fine’s FINE Entertainment Management, a location adjacent STN Sportsbook offering 24/7 service amidst walls of televisions, it is once seated that diners will find courteous service plus Food that ups the ante on a typical “Sports Bar.”

Accessed through the Casino or directly from the parking lot, an expansive outdoor patio featuring lounge chairs and wrap-around LED screens in between, Cocktails appear well priced with “Happy Hour” offering bigger bargains that spill over to items such as generously-portioned Short Rib Fries with Cheese Sauce, Guacamole and Pickled Onions.

Well-suited for Big Games, live entertainment or even a game of Corn Hole fans of Pizza will find the George’s Flatbreads no less impressive than nearby Prince Street while Hot Honey Chicken Mac & Cheese doubles down on two Comfort Food classics without compromising either one.

Less impressive with over-grilled Shrimp that are more sweet than Sriracha, but righting the ship with excellent Short Rib Sliders kissed by Horseradish, top items on this visit included golden Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and crisp Tortilla Chips topped with all the components of Mexican Street Corn.

A new measuring stick for all the casinos revamping or building a sports book, without the excess prices of Las Vegas Boulevard, Dessert are modest in comparison to savories in terms of size but don’t hold back in terms of taste whether one selects upgraded Strawberry Shortcake or decadent Banana Pecan Bread Pudding.

Naxos Taverna [2,] Las Vegas NV

Naxos Taverna

Dips and Spreads – Tzatziki, Muhammara, Houmous, Coal-Roasted Eggplant & Tomato, Beet-Citrus Tartare, Crushed Fava Bean, Pita Bread

Saganaki – Kefalograviera Cheese, Port Wine, Cherries, Lemon Thyme

Green Chick Pea Falafel – Tahini Yogurt, Red Schug

Zucchini & Eggplant Chips – Tzatziki

Kataiﬁ Wrapped Prawns – Kalamata Olive Aioli

Salt baked Royal Dorade

Roasted Sweet Potatoes – Za’atar Yogurt, Pomegranate

Roasted Baby Carrots – Mint Yogurt, Aleppo Chili

Double Espresso – Ice

Homemade Froyo – Ricotta Cheese & Olive Oil, Pistachio, Baklava Crumble

Soufra – Blueberry, Citrus Custard, Phyllo, Lemon Gelato

A concept from Tao Group owner Lou Abin and Lotus of Siam’s parent Bua Food Group, Naxos Taverna at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa suggests “approachable Mediterranean Seafood-focused cuisine cooked from the soul.”

Fronted by Kallisto Oyster Bar and bathed in blue, an airy dining room of light woods espousing the Island from which it takes its name, Naxos’ menu comes from Chef Mark Andelbradt and ranges widely from traditional Greek recipes to Steaks or Salmon targeting tourists and Summerlin soccer moms.

Offering whole Fish shown on ice, plus fresh Pita baked in an open kitchen, no meal at Naxos should begin without “Dips, Spreads & Breads,” $55 yielding five choices from which Tzatziki, Muhammara, Coal-Roasted Eggplant and Beet-Citrus Tartare are all well-executed in sharable portions.

Inspired by the taverns of Greece, though oddly using Turkey’s Nazar Boncuk in marketing, a good majority of Naxos Wine and Spirits derive from the Islands while small shares such as Falafel with spicy Sauce and Prawns wrapped in Kataiﬁ outpace Zucchini & Eggplant Chips done far better at Strip-stalwart Estiatorio Milos.

Not forgetting recently-added Saganaki balanced by Port Wine and Lemon Thyme, so compelling a four-top should consider ordering two, market Fish come in a variety of sizes and preparations with the salt-baked Royal Dorade a perfect rendition that shines without any additions.

Rare to find a Restaurant in Las Vegas executing Vegetables at this level, both Sweet Potatoes with Za’atar Yogurt and spiced Carrots in cooling Yogurt worth every cent, Naxos’ Dessert menu offers surprises including swirled Froyo mixing Ricotta Cheese with Olive Oil and all-new Soufra that eats like Galaktoboureko with Blueberries and Lemon Gelato on top.

Mother Wolf, Las Vegas NV

Mother Wolf

IL PALATINO – tanqueray gin, condimento bianco, basil, cucumber

CERES – del maguey mezcal, campari, pomegranate

DEA VESTA – el tesoro tequila blanco, martini ambrato, spiced honey syrup, melon, lavender

SFINCIONE – focaccia, sea salt, extra virgin olive oil, origano selvatico

GAMBERI IN SALSA VERDE – blue prawns, green garlic salsa verde

POLPETTE DI CODA – oxtail meatballs, sugo di pomodoro, pecorino romano DOP

DIAVOLA – fior di latte, salsa di pomodoro, salame piccante, basil, peperoncino, olio santo

LA MORTAZZA – mortadella di bologna, ricotta fresca, pistacchio di bronte, lemon agrumato

RIGATONI ALL’AMATRICIANA – guanciale, sugo di pomodoro, pecorino romano DOP

SPAGHETTI ALL’ ARRABBIATA – sughetto di pomodoro, aglio, olio santo, diavolicchio, pecorino romano DOP

TORTA ALL ’OLIO DI OLIVA – citrus, finocchio candito, gelato fiore di sicilia

TIRAMISÙ – mascarpone, espresso, marsala, cocoa

TORTA DI RICOTTA – spiced pear, noci tostate, pear & pomegranate sorbetto

MARITOZZO ROMANO – crema al limone, pistacchio, vanilla chantilly

With the runaway success of three concepts in Los Angeles it was only a matter of time before Evan Funke started to expand his reach, and with Mother Wolf at Fontainebleau Las Vegas the man who hashtagged #fuckyourpastamachine has somehow outperformed expectations yet again.

Designed as a fast-paced Roman-themed eatery, Funke’s obsession with top-tier Ingredients turning what at first seems like a see-and-be-seen party into a dining destination, it is via Reservations that guests find themselves seated beneath chandeliers plus mid-volume music while servers circulate at a brisk pace under the direction of Gabriel Fontenier.

As much a social event as Dinner thus far, think Carbone without theatrical captains, Mother Wolf’s menu looks a lot like Felice a Testaccio and whether one begins with Funke’s signature Focaccia or plump Prawns in vibrant Salsa the quality is evident in each bite.

Not forgetting unique Cocktails, nor fried Oxtail Meatballs better than the majority in Italy, Funke’s Pizzas receive due praise thanks to a fair price and gently blistered Dough that supports Spicy Salumi well but truly shines wrapped around Mortadella, Ricotta and Pistachios.

A “scene” by 7:00pm, the foyer clogged by would-be diners and Bar two-deep, Pastas tally nine and of those tasted betwee Los Angeles and Las Vegas standouts included masterful Cacio e Pepe, creamy All’amatriciana flecked with Guanciale, vibrant Puttanesca and Mezze Maniche beneath complex Wild Boar Ragù.

Entirely over-the-top, including a section of luxury items featuring Truffles and Caviar, Desserts include housemade Gelato and inventive Sorbetti while those in need of something a bit more filling should head straight for the Ricotta Cheesecake or signature Maritozzo.

Prince St. Pizza, Las Vegas NV

Prince St. Pizza

Spicy Spring – Fra Diavolo Sauce, Pepperoni, Fresh Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano

Spicy Vodka – Spicy Vodka Sauce with Prosciutto, Fresh Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano

Meat Lovers – Marinara Sauce, Pepperoni, Oven Roasted Sausage, Fresh Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, Garlic

Four Cheese – Fresh Mozzarella, Shredded Mozzarella, Ricotta, Pecorino Romano, Garlic

Now with eleven locations and a twelfth coming soon Prince Street Pizza debuted in 2012, the New York outpost still standing where the Morano family first started slinging slices including their now-famous Spicy Spring.

Known for Neapolitan wedges and Sicilian “SoHo” Squares, the latter praised by many as amongst the best in Manhattan, it was late 2023 that Spring Street opened as part of Durango Casino’s “Eat Your Heart Out” food court with lines present ever since.

Available whole or by the Slice, prices ranging $4.95 to $6.50 each well above the average for a location so far from the Strip, it was after a brief wait that four squares were loaded into a branded box and eaten warm so that quality wouldn’t be compromised beyond time on the rack.

Reportedly using “a water filtration process that replicates the water used in New York” to improve consistency, a dubious claim to anyone who understands science and the difference in humidity between Sin City and the East Coast, Spring Street’s Crust suffers from a lack of leavening and underdeveloped flavors covered up by housemade Sauce.

Starting with Spicy Spring, a dish that earns its name with fiery Fra Diavolo Sauce and thick-cut Pepperoni, the Morano’s Marinara unfortunately trends a bit too sweet in the case of Meat Lovers while both the Four Cheese and Spicy Vodka compare favorably to other mid-level Pizzerias that get a lot less praise.

The Pastries are still good, as one might expect from Chef Beth Ryan-Small, but between paid influencer posts and Kyle Cunningham’s pandering for investors The Coffee Class is nearly impossible to “like” in comparison to other locally owned bakeries around Las Vegas.

Delivered to the office on Valentine’s Day, Beth’s Scones still the best in town, Croissants clearly come from outsourced Dough though the fillings offer improvement while Poptarts are universally good regardless of season or flavor.

Serving Las Vegas since January 2022 and now a James Beard Award Foundation finalist plus Yelp! Winner for best new Restaurant, Anima by EDO merges Italian and Spanish Cuisine into an elegant experience from Chef Oscar Amador.

Run by industry veterans from front-of-house to kitchen it is following warm greetings at the door that guests are led to a choice of diverse seating options, banquets in the back most quiet with a full view of murals from local artist Apolo Torres.

More “approachable” than EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine per General Manager Roberto Liendo, though certainly never lacking for creativity, Dinner at Anima begins with Appetizers ranging from Scallops and Caviar to a “Rose” made from Beets and Bluefin Tuna.

Not forgetting Octopus “Headcheese,” or Razor Clams with Shrimp atop a Lime, Gyoza filled with Pork Intestines shine adjacent Chickpeas while giant Prawns come perfectly charred beneath Chorizo Butter and along Pedro Ximenez Sauce to drink from the head like a shot.

Happy to see two new Pastas, Spinach Ravioli filled with Ricotta in a blanket of Lovage Cream outpacing Potato Dumplings pairing Lamb and Salsify, a plate of Pork Belly and Bone Marrow on Toast founded needed levity in sweetened Garum.

Entirely directed by Tayden Ellamar this time, Oscar enjoying a well deserved day off, one cannot forget Pan Cristal with Tomatoes and Iberico that pairs well to Anima’s Asian-inspired Sidecar nor tender the Pork Cheek and all-new riff on Lemon Meringue Pie.

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk Cookie

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookie

Molten Lava Cookie

Valentine’s Original Cookie featuring M&M’s Candy

Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie

Valentine Confetti Cookie

Pink Velvet Cookie

Born in Logan Utah Crumbl took the city by storm, their Instagramable rounds offered in thirty stores across six states by 2019 and now in all fifty states with six in Las Vegas including a Blue Diamond location that was the first in Sin City.

Created by Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan, rapid expansion through franchising yielding mixed results from store to store as evidence by Social Media, it was after nine variable experiences that the westside storefront proved competent, the staff exceedingly pleasant whilst describing each choice.

Undoubtedly popular in part due to photogenicity, though a sterile interior oversells the fact that everything is made from scratch, the first thing those entering will notice is Crumbl’s collection of weekly flavors, though on this week eleven choices were presented including both overly-sweet Chocolate Chip and Semi-Sweet Chunks plus Sea Salt.

Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included Red Velvet, Pink Velvet or Vanilla Cupcake, all the classic flavors well-represented including excellent Cream Cheese or Buttercream Frosting.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next that Lemon Glaze performed well thanks to tart top-notes while Jammy Heart looks like a Linzer but doubles down with soft Shortbread layers plus Raspberry Frosting.

Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name its safe to say that both “Valentine Confetti” and “Valentine’s Original” were fairly similar while a “Molten Lava Cookie” and “Chocolate Covered Strawberry” delivered on their promises.

Ghormeh Sabizi – Herb Stew, Beef, Kidney Beans

Fesenjaan – Chicken, Pomegranate & Walnut Sauce

Chocolate Halva, Pistachio Halva

As the eldest occupant of Global West Plaza and the oldest Persian Restaurant In Las Vegas Zaytoon is more easily overlooked than many local eateries, but using the same recipes for decades the space on Durango is a breath of fresh air in a time when authenticity is often lacking.

Family owned and the combination of eatery plus market, the later featuring imported goods as well as groceries, plates come from a kitchen steeped in tradition such that everything from Lavash to several styles of Baklava are made on-site daily.

Muslim owned and Halal-certified, a name that translates as Olive seemingly appropriate for peaceful confines, guests can expect Kabobs served at a fair price though the real highlights come from Stews such as bold Ghormeh Sabizi and Fesenjaan that is complex but not overly sweet like many.

SomiSomi

Upside Down AhBoong – Taiyaki, Taro Filling, Milk Tea & Black Sesame Swirl Soft Serve, Macaron

Slowly expanding via franchising, now with two locations in Las Vegas, SomiSomi specializes in Taiyaki with or without Soft Serve and thanks to fair prices the shop inside Shanghai Plaza has performed well with lines present from open to close since its debut.

Best known for AhBoong, Soft Serve in a fish-shaped Waffle with filling, guests place their order and wait briefly amidst colorful décor before digging in as up-tempo pop plays overhead.

A “do one thing and do it well concept,” the Taiyaki made fresh-to-order, “Upside Down AhBoong” are prudent for those who wish to enjoy more slowly and whether one selects Strawberry or something more original like Black Sesame the flavors are mild yet pure with homogeneous creaminess.

Bean Curd Noodles with Shrimp and XO Sauce

Sheng Jian

Crab Yolk Xiao Long Bao

House Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage

Fish Wonton Soup

Traditional Shanghai Xiao Long Bao

Angus Beef Xiao Long Bao

Shrimp & Cucumber Xiao Long Bao

Now expanding to Dallas and the Southwest Vegas Valley 4 years after opening, despite growing competition, it was as a party of five that diners once again enjoyed an outstanding meal at ShangHai Taste on Wednesday.

Tucked inside Suite 104 of a two-story complex on the corner of Arville Street and Spring Mountain Road, a ground floor flagship since day one, it is upon entry that eyes are immediately drawn to Chinese-born Chefs working inside the restaurant’s glass prep-room, and with Chef Jimmy Li’s time at 3 Villages, 1900 Asian Cuisine and Niu Gu well-known to fans the fact that everything on-site is made from scratch should come as no surprise.

Seating approximately 40 guests from 11:00am until 9:00pm seven-days-a-week it was with warm greetings that twelve items were received, many old favorites but also all-new head-on Shrimp and Fish Wonton Soup not enjoyed in a while.

Affordable without skimping on Ingredients, all thanks to Chef Li and Joe Muscaglione’s dedication, a distinctive feel is ensured by the fact that almost every single item on-site is imported from or near Shanghai, and starting with Soup Dumplings, or XLB, fans will be happy to know ShangHai Taste’s set a high standard whether made with Pork, Shrimp, Crab or Beef.

Able to accommodate most dietary preferences, fried Soup Dumplings in two varieties a winner to all but vegans, those eschewing all Animal products will likely gravitate to green Dumplings, though even more interesting bites are found in the form of Cold Bean Curd Noodles slicked in Scallion Oil, or now with XO Sauce and Shrimp.

Built on family recipes handed down to Chef Li, his Fat Noodles with choice of Protein always a crowd-pleaser, Dumplings taste wonderful with or without spicy Oil or Soy while Fried Rice rivals the best in town thanks to bits of Chinese Sausage.

Family owned and operated from the start, Dominic Sang bringing family recipes from a Texas Doughnuttery to Sin City in October 2015, guests entering Glaze Doughnuts will notice little has since changed about the shop in 8 years while a soft base and creative toppings earn “Best of Las Vegas” accolades annually.

Located on Fort Apache Road, fair prices and friendly service undoubtedly part of Glaze’s appeal, what the shop lacks in selection is more than made up for in quality compared to the likes of Dunkin, Krispy Kream or other spots nearby.

Largely built on Yeast Rings, though undersized Fritters perform admirably, fans of simplicity will find Maple Frosting far more subtle than most while Chocolate and Vanilla Glaze are also of excellent quality with or without additions such as Cereal or Candy.

Not over-the-top, but balanced and complex, Ube and Coconut dazzle atop a fluffy leavened base while Peanut Butter and Jelly do the same, though if one is seeking Glaze’s top choice the decision comes down to Blueberry Cinnamon Toast, Churros and Horchata or Matcha Green Tea Pistachio that delivers sweetness beneath toasty notes.

Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name its safe to say the “Cinnamon Square” abandons the idea entirely as each Butter-soaked bite is best enjoyed with utensils from its individual container.

Best seen as a passion project for local real estate agent Shawn Hong Lucky Cat BBQ serves up a selection of Smoked Meats and Asian-inspired sides from a kitchen pulled behind its owner’s pickup truck.

Self-described as having “sporadic days and times for food service,” the Smith’s on Sahara at Durango a popular Saturday location, consecutive visits found service friendly and un-hurried while prices hover around the same as what one might pay at a sit-down Barbecue joint.

Fairly well traveled while researching his craft, Hong and friends frequently posting their escapades online, Brisket finds fat well rendered beneath a generous Pepper bark whether on its own or served as specials including the likes of convincing Panang Curry atop Rice.

Less sold on Pulled Pork with a good bit of Garlic, though Mesquite smoked Belly is loaded with Umami sauced or chopped in Fried Rice, sides range from middling Mac n’ Cheese to fragrant Asian Slaw and top notch Pasta or Potato Salad with complex aromatics.

Continuing the innovative ideas with Dessert, though to a purist the Cocoa could be left out of otherwise excellent Caramel Banana Pudding, Ube “Cheesecake” eats more like airy Pudding atop a Chocolate-Coconut Crumble that adds texture and nuance.

Expanding akin to any other Social Media savvy brand it is under the leadership of Tommaso Mazzanti that All’Antico Vinaio has grown outside of Florence, where three shops have been drawing crowds of locals and tourists since the early 90s.

“Home of the world’s best Sandwiches” per Saveur, and now with three New York locations plus one in SoCal, guests visiting the Las Vegas location at UnCommons can expect a minimum of one hour’s wait to taste housemade Schiacciata wrapped around imported Italian ingredients.

A partnership with the Bastianich family here in America, Tommaso’s embrace of everything from tripadvisor to TikTok making All’Antico Vinaio impossible to miss, Vegas sees local talent at the helm preparing everything from Mazzanti’s famous Pecorino Cream to crumbled Pistachios ready to be layered atop Meats including Mortadella, Sbriciolona and Prosciutto Toscano.

Priced $17 to $20+ for Sandwiches that can probably serve two at Lunch flavors range simple to sophisticated, “La Summer” essentially a Caprese plus Prosciutto between two slices of crisp Bread with excellent chew and La Paradiso an instant classic for those familiar with Italy thanks to Mortadella, Stracciatella and Pistachio Cream.

Summer House

Peanut Butter Cookie

Oatmeal Scotchie Cookie

Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie

Lemon Cookie

Chocolate Walnut Cookie

Despite signage suggesting Summer House Santa Monica the location inside Durango Casino & Resort is actually Lettuce Entertain You’s first branch of the “California-inspired Restaurant” out west, and regardless of what might be inside the Cookie Bar out front is a sight for sore eyes.

Taking a Spago-esque approach to Market-fresh fare, think Pizzas and Pastas plus plates from an all-wood grill, it is for roughly $5 each that guests will find a dozen or more daily baked good including everything from classic Chocolate Chip with big dark chunks to Rice Crispy Treats with or without bits of Oreo in the mix.

A natural feeling space bathed in light, Rockwell Group taking on LEYE’s first off-Strip venture, guests not fond of Cocoa will find “Birthday Cake” far outpacing crumbl’s famous Frosted Cookie while both glazed Lemon and an Oatmeal Scotchie eat soft and chewy within a gently crisp rim.

Not forgetting a Vegan Snickerdoodle, though whatever fat is utilized tastes buttery and rich, additional Chocolate Chip varieties with Nuts or Sea Salt fare well but pale in comparison to the flourless Chocolate Cloud and textbook Peanut Butter round.

Described as a “Faith-based” business Abel’s Bagels opened late-2022 at 7150 S Durango Blvd Suite #130, owner Nick Pace of an organic juice bar in Roslyn New York hoping to bring “authentic” New York Bagels to Sin City along with other favorites from “Nook’s Organic.”

Inspired by the Bible’s Abel and Mr. Pace’s commitment to quality it is from 7am Monday through Saturday and 8am Sunday that Abel’s offers not only hand-rolled, boiled and baked rounds but also Sandwiches, Smoothies and Acai Bowls.

Sourcing good Ingredients and Coffee, high-gluten Flour the backbone of any proper Bagel, Abel’s collection includes all the favorites save for Egg while Cream Cheese is offered on its own or with up to three mix-ins ranging from Fruits or Vegetables to Macha and Peanut Butter.
