The 38 Essential Restaurants in Las Vegas

"Evan Glusman and Constantin Alexander of classic Vegas Italian restaurant Piero’s took everything they know about good Italian food and merged it with a banging cocktail program, an up-and-coming shopping center, and late-night hours just right for the after-dinner dinner crowd. While the doors open as early as 5 p.m., Bramare’s sleek furnishings, black paint, and gently glowing pendant lights call for lazy visits at later hours. And fizzy nitro-infused affogato cocktails demand just enough attention to savor bowls of tagliatelle noodles in meaty wild boar ragu and wood-fired pizza with roasted chicken and Calabrian hot honey. A side of broccolini makes for a sleeper hit — finely chopped stalks and florets swathed in stunning black garlic cream with pecorino cheese and seasoned breadcrumbs for crunch. It all works together to make for one of Las Vegas’s better late-night hot spots." - Janna Karel
