"Just when you think that the ornately textured metallic gold skull can’t get any more theatrical, a ladle of flaming liquor is poured over the top. As the chocolate skull melts away, it reveals a chocolate lava cake, horchata ice cream, fruit, and corn marshmallows. This one is meant to be shared, with bites of fruit and cake poised to be skewered and dunked in sweet melted chocolate." - Janna Karel
"On Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20, Chica at the Venetian will serve an a la carte Latin-inspired brunch with unexpected twists on holiday classics such as deviled eggs with aji amarillo and candied bacon, as well as savory churrasco steak and eggs. Chef Lorena Garcia’s graffiti-painted restaurant may serve flaming chocolate skulls at night, but Easter morning calls for a festive crumbled carrot cake topped with vanilla bean ice cream and yuzu cream cheese frosting." - Emmy Kasten
"A new sushi restaurant that is part-sushi counter and part-speakeasy, offering handrolls, nigiri, cocktails, and take-away options. Located on Restaurant Row in the Venetian Resort." - Janna Karel
"Head to Chica at the Venetian from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and until 3 p.m. Monday through Friday for options including a basket of arepas, strawberry guava waffles, a Cubano sandwich, and bunuelo doughnuts. The interior features a mural from artist Daniel Osorno and a canopy of greenery for a modern vibe at any time of day. Two batch cocktails serve parties of 8 or more, starting at $120." - Janna Karel
"Celebrity Chef Lorena Garcia’s Chica is as vibrant in design as it is in its Latin cuisine. The decor is bold with accents of graffiti art in hot pinks and teals playing against a bar that is dripping with fresh green foliage. The design is occasionally complemented by flumes of fire when Flaming Skull desserts are ordered — the chocolate skull set ablaze to reveal the warm lava cake, horchata ice cream, and corn marshmallow nestled inside." - Janna Karel
