Mention Nora’s to anyone who lives in Las Vegas, and you’ll receive a knowing nod. This neighborhood eatery has been a fixture in the Valley for decades and last fall it packed up and relocated to new digs. The move has served both the business and its patrons. The dining room is bigger, there’s more parking available, a bocce court beckons and the kitchen is stocked with high-end toys, put to use on old favorites and fresh items. Most importantly, it still feels like Nora’s—the kind of neighborhood joint you wish was right down the street.

Some of the city’s best sushi chefs have come through the Nobu kitchen and Nakano Hiromi, who helms this westside favorite, is no exception. Along with a full menu of cooked items and 24 special maki rolls, he serves beautifully modern sushi and sashimi, pairing raw fish with a wide variety of ingredients and flavors. Think: sea bream with finger lime, shiso, white balsamic and truffle oil or salmon with onion, capers, bonito flakes and spicy ponzu sauce.

Other Mama is not a sushi bar. It’s not even a Japanese restaurant. It is, however, one of Las Vegas’ hippest current haunts, a locally beloved west-side spot with a penchant for raw seafood and enticing cocktails. Order one of the latter while you browse a menu that includes oysters, ceviches, sushi and sashimi, applying a deft touch to fresh fish and just about everything else that enters the kitchen. Try the scallop carpaccio with blood orange and fennel, sashimi salad with thyme and honey or big eye tuna with roasted beets and avocado. And should you feel the need for something hot, seasonal dishes include shrimp and jalapeño hush puppies or pork belly and kimchi fried rice. Hungry yet?

Stumble through a downtown beer crawl
Las Vegas was a bit late to the craft beer revolution, but now that the movement has arrived it’s going gangbusters. Taste what the locals are cooking with a Downtown beer crawl. Your journey kicks off at the Arts District’s Hop Nuts Brewing, where the taproom pours 20 beers at a time, including house creations like The Golden Knight and 18b Pale Ale. Then mosey over to Banger Brewing for a free tour, taste signature brews like the Rolling Blackout stout or the Haze & Loathing IPA. Finally, stumble over to local staple Tenaya Creek, where the taps pull year-round favorites, seasonals and guest pints from regional friends like Uinta and Crafthaus.

Frankie's Tiki Room
1712 W Charleston BlvdOne of the best and most popular cocktail bars in Vegas, The Chandelier at the Cosmopolitan has a couple surprises. Head to Level 1.5 of the multi-story bar and you’ll feel like you’ve discovered a secret hideaway. The cocktails here are exceptional, featuring intriguing ingredients like black pepper honey, salted churro syrup, and pine liqueur. But the real (albeit worst-kept) secret is the Verbena—a tart, tequila-based drink garnished with a szechuan flower that numbs your tongue and then creates a sensory explosion in your mouth.
