Vegas Weekend

In my post last week, I bragged how great the Northeast is and I still believe that. However, Las Vegas offers an eclectic mix of fun and adventures. From fine dining to hiking, you can create a different and fun agenda every weekend.

August 16, 2011 will mark 90-days in Las Vegas and its time for me to start living like a local. After all, Las Vegas will be my new home for awhile. Here’s a look at some of the new restaurants that I will enjoy as a resident of Nevada this weekend.

Taste Italy!

Discover Italy at Onda Ristorante & Wine Lounge is a culinary exploration through the regions of Italy. Each month Onda will feature an innovation three-course prix fixe menu and with an option to add an unlimited wine pairing. Each new menu will highlight a new region of Italy. This month, Calabria will be featured. I look forward to trying the Grilled Whole Fish and Pasta Fusilli. Read more on this fun activity here.

Japanese dinner and a show anyone?

Japonais, a personal favorite of mine, now offers amazing new menu items, such as Sweet Shrimp, Diver Scallops and Smoked Kobe at its Robata Grill. Guests can gather around the Robata bar and watch as chefs prepare skewered food over a tradition charcoal grill. This ancient style of cooking is known as “Robata Yaki.” Japonais has the only robata grill in town where you will get a front-row seat to see the action. Here is a recent article about Japonais which was published in Las Vegas Weekly.
