The 38 Essential Restaurants in Las Vegas

"The Gold Coast’s Ping Pang Pong is the gold standard for dim sum by day and Cantonese dishes by night. More than 80 dim sum dishes — spanning mango lobster and scallop rolls to aromatic buns with southern Canton five-spice duck — wheel through the dining room steamed, fried, or grilled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. During dinner, smoked orange rib-eye steak cubes seared with peppercorn and toasted garlic and a Macanese crustacean clay pot with a ginger laksa curry broth make the menu until 3 a.m. A Chinese pergola, Chinese lanterns overhead, and a host stand made from a Chinese apothecary cabinet add to the ambiance. Expect a wait or make a reservation in advance." - Janna Karel
