"Worth a visit for the aesthetic alone, NoMad Library Restaurant is all things dark academia in the best ways. Red banquettes are plush and cozy, seated in the shadow of bookshelves that span entire walls and loom above tables. The Vegas outpost of this New York stalwart is nearly theatrical in its design, grounded by a menu of New American dishes and light bites for pairing with cocktails. When seasonal Chilean sea bass is on the menu, it is tender and delicately seasoned with toothsome eggplant and fingerling potatoes. An 18-ounce cut of prime ribeye is made all the more flavorful with a silky smooth truffle béarnaide sauce and savory porcini mushrooms. But a casual visit over tempura sweet potato with stone fruit chutney with Dark and Stormy cocktails in the restaurant’s bar is just as memorable. —Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Must-try dish: The tableside flambeed Baked Alaska" - Matthew Kang
