"At the Cosmopolitan I found China Poblano, one of the property's busiest restaurants since opening in 2010; it specializes in both Chinese and Mexican cuisines with a dual menu that pairs noodles, dim sum, wok-roasted vegetables, and fried rice alongside tacos, guacamole, and coconut ceviches. Its Vegas chefs flew to D.C. to show off casino hits like steamed Chinese eggplant flanked with fresno and shishito peppers, ginger, shallots, black vinegar, and garlic chile oil ($14), and fried Gan Pung Ji wings ($16) tossed in a homemade chile sauce and served with cucumbers and fresno chiles." - Claudia Rosenbaum
