Our 7 favorite places to eat for Las Vegas Restaurant Week
It's time to start planning your Las Vegas Restaurant Week outings. Feeling overwhelmed by the dozens upon dozens of options, though? Don't worry, we have some ideas. More than 260 restaurants are participating in the 12-day (June 2–13) fundraiser for the Three Square Food Bank, which supports some of the city's most vulnerable food-insecure residents. Last year's event raised more than $380,000—enough to provide 1,142,440 meals to Las Vegas residents. Since 2007, more than 10 million meals have been served. It works like this: Participating restaurants create special multi-course menus and every time someone orders it, a portion of the cost of the meal is donated to Three Square. This year, menus range in price from quick $20 lunches to splurge-worthy $120 dinners at places like Bazaar Meat, Bouchon, Carbone or Wakuda. There are also a bunch of burgers (looking at you, Peter Luger Steak House), plenty of pastas and so many steaks we lost count. But we did review all 261 menus looking for value or something unique to draw us in. Here's what we found. Hiroba Sushi Among the $20 offerings, there are some bargains. Hiroba Sushi in Henderson is one that stands out serving miso soup, a bento box and ice cream. 128 Main 128 Main just announced it will no longer serve dinner so lunch it is. During restaurant week, you can get a Chinois salad, bacon BLT and Basque cheesecake for $30. Bjork Caviar Looking for a caviar bump? For the cost of a Benjamin ($100), Bjork Caviar in downtown Las Vegas will top your sashimi, linguine and white chocolate panna cotta with caviar. Carmine's Known for its giant portions, Carmine's offers an interesting $60 four-course menu. What caught our interest was the 22-ounce salmon stuffed with shrimp, scallops, crab meat, bell peppers and spinach. Holsteins Holsteins has made the move to the Arts District so it will be fun to check out and grab a Philly egg roll, spicy blackened chicken sandwich and a shake. Lamaii Tuck into Chinatown for this gem: Lamaii is serving yellowtail sashimi with spicy shrimp and coconut milk soup, sizzling rib eye and mango sticky rice for just $40. Other Mama Other Mama is jumping into the fray for the first time with an impressive menu. It starts with mixed seafood and includes a seven-piece nigiri sushi set, then choose either Japanese fried chicken and caviar, grilled Wagyu or miso-marinated black cod.

Shimza earns an international club residency
International acclaimed Shimza earns himself a residency slot. Shimza (real name Ashley Raphala) has made the transition from an aspirant industry youngblood to a leading light of the global Afro-house scene at almost breakneck speed. The Thembisa-born has secured prestigious residency at iconic Club Chinois in Ibiza. For years Shimza has echoed across the shores of Ibiza as a globally recognised Afro-house maestro. He'll begin playing on the island in August. From the vibrant streets of Thembisa, South Africa — where his musical journey began by playing at local parties and hosting his own shows — to headlining international festivals and clubs, Shimza's story is a testament to resilience, vision and raw talent. Now, his impressive rise continues as he joins a select group of global tastemakers invited to command the decks at Club Chinois. Known as a sanctuary for the bold, the bohemian, the dreamers, and the seekers, Chinois is more than just a venue — it is a living, breathing homage to the timeless allure of the dance floor. Fusing music, art, culture and creativity in immersive, unforgettable nights, the club has hosted the most celebrated names in electronic music. 'This residency is not just for me — it's for everyone who comes from where I come from. Thembisa shaped my sound, my hustle and my identity. From backyard sets to the global stage, I carry that spirit with me. Club Chinois represents the pinnacle of global club culture, and to be part of it is a dream realised. This is proof that no place is too far when music is your compass,' he said. 'The residency marks a defining moment in my career, solidifying my position as one of the foremost ambassadors of Afro-house music on the world stage. My sets — deep, soulful and steeped in cultural storytelling — having earned me a loyal global following and acclaim from some of the industry's most respected figures,' said Shimza.

Wolfgang Puck Reveals His New Dishes for the 97th Oscars Governors Ball
Chef Wolfgang Puck and his culinary team are back for the 31st annual Oscars Governors Ball — where they'll be serving his beloved staples alongside some inventive new dishes. (Read Puck's history of catering the Governors Ball here.) "We always have some new things but people really like the tradition a lot," the legendary chef told Los Angeles at the Oscars Governors Ball preview on Tuesday, Feb. 25. "We have to make our chicken pot pie, for Prince Albert and Barbra Streisand in case she shows up, but many other people too. And then we have new dishes, like this year, we have the [Pad] Thai noodles, and we make them with ginger, garlic and a little Champagne," he said as poured the alcohol into a sizzling stir-fry. "I love Asian influence," said Puck regarding the cultural twist this year. "We have Chinois, our Asian restaurant, and then we have Merois at the Pendry hotel. I've always loved Asian food — I love spices." Asian food is highlighted across this year's menu with small plate stations featuring sushi and sashimi alongside izakaya favorites like chicken karaage. This will complement tray-passed items like Duck Bao Buns and Miso Cod Lettuce Wraps. Among the standby favorites are his signature Smoked Salmon Oscar Matzohs, Aged White Cheddar Mac & Cheese and Pea Agnolotti Pasta. Another returning dish, which Eric Klein, Senior Vice President of Culinary-Partner of Wolfgang Puck Catering, presided over at the preview, is the Miyazaki Wagyu — "which is one our favorite beefs [we've had] for the last five-six years already, people love it, so we have to do it all the time," Puck said. Chef Elliot Grover (who oversees Cut at 45 Park Lane) will join forces with Puck for the third time in a row to bring "a taste of London" to Hollywood. 'Elliot is doing the Beef Wellington," Puck said, "and one of his famous [dishes] in England — fish and chips: it's nice and crispy fish with some good potatoes." In addition to the usual comfort food options, the chef and his catering team have added special "Late-Night Classics" to the menu, with bites like sliders, chicken tenders and french fries. "We're going to make some bar food," Klein chimed in. The culinary experience is topped off with an extensive dessert menu: pastries, ice cream, cookies, bonbons and the iconic golden chocolate Oscar. "We have many desserts," Puck says. "Even from Austria we have the apple strudel — this is really delicious with marzipan ice cream.' To pair with Puck's curated menu are signature cocktails from Tequila Don Julio, created by famed mixologist Charles Joly and 2024's World Best Bar Handshake Speakeasy from Mexico City. The "Standing Ovation" cocktail is a take on the espresso martini — made with Tequila Alma Miel, and rimmed with gold, smoked sea-salt and vanilla, and another favorite is "The Clear Winner" (with Tequila Don Julio Reposado, hibiscus tea, tamarind syrup, lime juice, and grapefruit juice), alongside a Gimlet. "I wanted to create something that was people-pleasing," said Handshake's mixologist Eric Van Beek. "Even if you like boozy drinks, the drinks we created are easy-going." Wines for the evening are from returning French partner Clarendelle & Domaine Clarence Dillon: Clarendelle Bordeaux Blanc 2023 (white), Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2015 (a red) and a new Clarendelle Bordeaux Rose 2022 — alongside a Clarendelle Amberwine 2021 to pair with desserts. And for the first year, Champagne Lallier will be the exclusive Champagne featured at all Oscars events and the Oscars are adding a sake partner for the Governors Ball as well (to complement Puck's Asian additions). The 97th Oscars premieres live this Sunday, March 2, 2025, at 4 p.m. PST/7 p.m. EST on ABC.
