The Best Dishes Eater Las Vegas Ate This Month, July 2025
Eater Vegas's Editor dines out several times a week — if not per day, which means frequent encounters with standout dishes and sleeper hits from Las Vegas restaurant menus. Here's the very best of everything Eater Vegas ate this month. The Tasting Menu at Bazaar Meat Janna Karel In its final week, I returned to the bar at Bazaar Meat for one last run at the tasting menu. The restaurant closes at the Sahara on Thursday, July 31, before reopening later this year at the Venetian Resort. While the menu — in some form — will carry over, I wanted a final night beneath the chandelier of deep red teardrops, looming like suspended drops of blood within a white dome ringed by glowing deer heads. The 12-course experience opens with a puff of cotton candy wrapped around a cube of foie gras, dusted with crushed corn nuts — a playful, inventive bite that distills what chef José Andrés does best. Croquetas de pollo, a house staple, arrive warm and crisp, filled with chicken and silky béchamel. But the showstopper is the Washugyu bone-in rib-eye — a cross between Japanese Tajima wagyu and Black Angus — grilled over oak in the Spanish style until the meat is tender, its crust deeply savory and crackling with salt. I'm eager to see what the new space brings, but I savored one last lap around the original — with its open-fire grills, haunches of Ibérico ham hanging above the back bar, and alligator busts mounted on the walls, Mardi Gras beads looped through their jaws. 2535 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109. — Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Marinara pizza at Double Zero Pizza and Pub Janna Karel Double Zero is one of the best pizzerias in town — thanks in large part to a crust made from finely milled double-zero flour, fermented slowly with natural starters, then hand-stretched to preserve its structure. The result is a sturdy yet airy base that supports inventive toppings, with edges that blister and bubble just right — a key reason the restaurant landed on the 50 Top Pizza USA 2025 list this month. Since opening Double Zero in 2023, chef Michael Vakneen has passed the torch to general manager Erica Bell. Under her guidance, the restaurant continues to turn out pies with bold, unexpected ingredient combinations, a nod to Asian flavors and techniques, and a clear focus on nurturing ideas from within, like a pizza topped with confited carrot ribbons and lemon ricotta. It's the kind of concept that sounds unlikely but tastes exactly right. My favorite, though, was a surprise: a deceptively simple marinara pizza that Bell created after a conversation with legendary pizzaiolo John Arena of Metro Pizza — one that shifted how she thinks about the rhythm of eating a slice. The center is sauced with a bright, zippy house-made marinara, while the outer perimeter nearer to the crust is laden with a reduced version of the same sauce, simmered for six to eight hours until it's thick, sweet, and deeply savory. As you move from tip to crust, the flavor intensifies — a slice designed to build toward a finish. 3853 Spring Mountain Road, Las Vegas, NV 89102. — Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Loup de Mer at Pisces Janna Karel Pisces, the new seafood restaurant at the Wynn Las Vegas, is a showstopper. Sitting on the Lake of Dreams, the cobalt-swaddled restaurant is accented by glass orbs that evoke bubbles and anchored by a striking raw fish display at the entrance. An order of salt-baked loup de mer for the table was pure indulgence — set aflame tableside inside its salt crust, then carefully filleted and plated with a bright fennel and orange salad. The whole fish was tender and flaky, with a subtle sweetness and near-buttery richness. Its mildness made it an ideal match for the standout side: Brussels sprouts, cooked until crisp and tossed with hot chile, sweet pomegranate seeds, lemon juice, and fermented colatura fish sauce. I like Brussels sprouts well enough, but these were exceptional. The pairing might have stolen the show, if not for the 30-foot-tall animatronic frog that emerged mid-meal to croon Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York' from atop the lake. 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109. — Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Fondue at Winnie & Ethel's Downtown Diner Janna Karel Downtown Las Vegas 1940s-style diner Winne and Ethel's gave a false start to dinner service over the winter, briefly extending its lunch menu into weekend evenings. This time, owners Mallory Gott and chef Aaron Lee are doing it right, introducing a supper club-style dinner built around polished comfort food with a Southern accent. Meatloaf leans classic, with just enough smoke and black pepper, served doused in barbecue sauce alongside mixed vegetables and hearty mashed potatoes. But the real surprise — and the highlight — was the fondue. Melted cheese is celebratory under most circumstances, but even more so when discovered at a casual neighborhood haunt. Designed for sharing, the cast-iron pot of smoky Able Baker Atomic Duck beer cheese fondue arrives with a generous spread: a bowl of cubed focaccia, a charcuterie board of cured meats and cheese slices (yes, cheese dipped in cheese is encouraged), and a platter of raw and pickled vegetables. It's the kind of setup that spoils your appetite in the best way, inviting playful combinations of mini focaccia sliders and cheese-on-cheese skewers. 1130 East Charleston Boulevard Suite 140, Las Vegas, NV 89104. — Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Pastrami at Wild Fig BBQ Emmy Kasten A pair of wooden signs and a single yellow flag marks the otherwise easy-to-miss barbecue joint in Sun City Summerlin. But the line out the door — mostly men who clearly knew their way around a smoker — was a sure sign I'd found Wild Fig BBQ. For an embarrassingly long time, I'd heard whispers about this smoked-meat mecca, which began as a catering company in 2017. The restaurant now serves out of a modest storefront with a few shaded picnic tables outside, but it's largely a takeout operation. Like many, I brought my haul home: smoked turkey, brisket, spare ribs, poblano sausage, pastrami, and a spread of house-made sides, all made fresh that day. Every bite conjured memories of sun-soaked afternoons, cold drinks in hand, and the scent of suntan lotion mingling with wood smoke, but the pastrami stood out. Smoky, peppery, and meltingly tender, it's house-brined, cured, and made from full brisket — a rich, flavorful cut that Wild Fig turns into one of the best versions I've had, not just in Las Vegas, but anywhere in Nevada. Just when I thought it couldn't get better, the honey mustard added a final punch that had me reaching for another bite, and already planning my next visit. 9555 Del Webb Boulevard., Las Vegas, NV 89134. — Emmy Kasten, Eater Vegas contributor Eater Vegas All your essential food and restaurant intel delivered to you Email (required) Sign Up By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice .

Rosalía Responds After Accusation Of Palestine Silence
Spanish pop music superstar Rosalía responded after a designer said he'd refused to work with her over her lack of statement on Palestine. Last week, designer Miguel Adrover posted a screenshot seemingly between himself and a member of Rosalía's team, who was asking for a "custom look" for the artist. In the caption, he wrote, "Doing 'The Right Thing'….Silence is complicity, and even more so when you have a big loudspeaker where millions of people listen to you when you sing. That's why you have the responsibility to use this power to denounce this genocide. Rosalia, this is nothing personal. I admire you for all your talent and for everything you've achieved. And I think you are much more than those artists who only dedicate themselves to show business and entertainment. Now we have to do 'The Right Thing.'" Yesterday, Rosalía herself responded via a series of Instagram stories, which can be translated to, "In today's world, we all live in constant contradiction — myself included. And although I personally always try to do 'the right thing,' I probably don't always succeed, but in the process I try to learn and improve." "Unfortunately, this text is not and will not be enough in a context of extreme violence like the one currently happening. That's why I want to end with deep respect and gratitude for the people who truly take action, like NGOs, activists, volunteers, healthcare workers, laborers, cooperatives, associations, and journalists who are dedicating their lives to helping with this cause and many others," she continued. Emphasizing her "sadness" over what had been said, she continued, "The fact that I haven't used my platform in a way that aligns with others' styles or expectations absolutely does not mean that I don't condemn what is happening in Palestine. It's terrible to see, day after day, how innocent people are being murdered and how those who should be stopping it are not doing so." "I don't see how shaming one another is the best way to move forward in the fight for Palestinian freedom. I believe the blame should be directed upwards (toward those who make decisions and have the power to act), not horizontally (among ourselves)," she concluded. The designer isn't the only one to have drawn a line regarding professional collaborations and comments on Palestine. Children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel recently wrote on Instagram, "To anyone asking to with work with me who hasn't spoken out about Gaza: Thank you for the request. I'm not comfortable working with anyone who hasn't spoken out about Gaza. Much love and God bless, Rachel." After Israel cut off aid in March, mass starvation has taken hold in Gaza, with the UN saying that one in three people are now going without food for days at a time. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, 'Palestinians in Gaza are enduring a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions. This is not a warning. It is a reality unfolding before our eyes.'

Rumours that Phil Collins is in hospice are ‘completely incorrect', says his rep
A spokesperson for musician Phil Collins is setting the record straight about the former Genesis frontman's health. Although it's unclear how or where these reports started, rumours have been spreading like wildfire that the 74-year-old drummer is in hospice care due to terminal illness. 'Phil Collins in hospice? So, help me God,' one fan wrote on X. 'If Phil Collins goes next, I'm done with this planet,' another added. However, Phil's spokesperson has denied these claims, stating they, 'are completely incorrect'. Phil is indeed in hospital, but it's for knee surgery. 'He's undergoing a procedure in the medical ward related to his knees – nothing more, nothing less,' his rep says. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Phil Collins (@officialphilcollins) In a candid interview earlier this year with Mojo magazine, Phil opened about how his health struggles have diminished his passion for making music. He revealed that although he's considered returning to his studio to create new music, his deteriorating physical condition has become a barrier. 'I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But I'm not hungry for it anymore,' he said in February. 'The thing is, I've been sick. I mean very sick.' READ MORE| Phil Collins bids emotional farewell to fans at final Genesis concert It wasn't the first time the Grammy winner had opened up about his health woes. In his documentary, Phil Collins: Drummer First, released in December last year, he revealed that his deteriorating health had left him unable to pick up drumsticks. 'It's still kind of sinking in a bit,' he said. 'I've spent all my life playing drums. To suddenly not be able to do that is a shock.' He said he'd been drumming since he was five, growing up in Hounslow, London, so losing that ability was extremely hard. Phil's health issues date back to 2007 when he suffered a spinal injury that caused serious nerve damage. In 2017 he was forced to cancel two shows after falling in his hotel room and hitting his head on a chair, requiring stitches to a severe cut near his eye. His fall was caused by foot drop, a neurological condition that developed after his back surgery and for which he now wears orthopaedic shoes. He also suffers from acute pancreatitis, a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed and swollen, as well as type 2 diabetes. In 2022 he retired. However, before hanging up his sticks he made one last appearance that year alongside bandmates Mike Rutherford (74) and Tony Banks (75) for Genesis' final show on The Last Domino? Tour in London. During the show, he performed seated while his son, Nicholas (24), from his marriage to ex-wife Orianne Cevey (51), took over the drumming. 'Tonight is a very special night. It's the last stop of our tour, and it's the last show for Genesis,' he said during the set at London's The O2 arena. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nic Collins (@nic_collins) In recent years, Phil has expressed that if he can't perform to the standards that helped him sell over 100 million records, he would rather not perform at all. 'If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I'll have a crack at it. But I just feel like I've used up my air miles.'
