The 18 Best Restaurants Worth Leaving the Strip for in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas

"It’s hard to rival the view that looks out over the Las Vegas Strip from the main dining room of chef Marc Vetri’s Italian restaurant, but Vetri Cucina does so with freshly made pastas like a silky chestnut fettuccine with boar ragu and cocoa and entrees like supple roasted hen nestled with prosciutto and foie gras. The restaurant is small — just 75 seats — but charming and sun-filled, just right for dining on rustic Italian while live music plays. Know before you go: Apertivo hour runs daily from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and with the Strip facing east of the restaurant’s broad windows, that means enjoying discounted salumi boards and $12 Aperol spritzes while the Las Vegas Strip glitters beyond." - Janna Karel
