Your time is precious. Especially in Vegas. So, you know, maybe don’t spend it at places that are over a month old. Below, five new spots that have just opened for business. Go forth and christen.
Meet the new N9NE. It’s better than the old N9NE. Because the new N9NE has Kobe beef short ribs, barrel-aged cocktails in sherry-rinsed glasses and a centrally located, canopy-enclosed, semiprivate table with its own chandelier. Save that for a Tuesday.
Chimichangas can be sexy. Case in point: Hecho en Vegas, the Dia de Muertos–themed Mexican spot that opened in the MGM over New Year’s. Everything here from the lighting to the red booths to the half-pound Angus beef Sonoran dog with jalapeño street salsa just screams seduction. Okay, maybe not the hot dog.
Oh, by the way, downtown Vegas brews its own beer. Yup. It’s courtesy of a little operation on Fremont called Banger Brewing. They’re currently bottling a nice watermelon wheat and a jalapeño hefeweizen. Drop by their taproom to investigate. Thoroughly.
Before it was Caesars, it was Caesar’s. Then, founder Jay Sarno decided to remove the punctuation mark, and 48 years later we get an onyx-clad bar on the casino floor to commemorate the occasion. Seems like something worth toasting to.
Keep this one in your back pocket: the M Resort now has a sprawling space with pool piazza views, cherry blossom murals and all the Asian food (think duck sliders, Korean tacos, sashimi) a person just coming off a craps heater could want. Hopefully, that’ll be you.
