Las Vegas is experiencing a culinary revival this weekend with the opening of new dining hotspots and the return of beloved comfort food establishments. Exciting additions include Holsteins, Nocturno, and Junior’s, each offering unique menus and dining experiences.
Holsteins in the Arts District
Holsteins, which was previously located at the Cosmopolitan, has officially reopened its doors on Main Street in the Arts District. The restaurant showcases a vibrant aesthetic featuring a teal cow and a blend of brick and wood interiors that promise a welcoming environment. Diners can look forward to a variety of menu items, notably the Forager Burger, which combines a savory beef-mushroom blend with onion marmalade and Swiss cheese. For a truly indulgent experience, customers are encouraged to pair their burger with fries and a cookies-and-cream shake, which is topped with a cookie sandwich for extra sweetness.
Nocturno: A New Bar Experience
Nocturno, a new bar inspired by Mexico City and helmed by DJ Flores of Milpa, offers a fresh take on cocktail mixology. The bar’s signature drink menu features inventive options like the Peach Blow Fizz alongside a dessert cocktail that evokes the nostalgic flavors of a Creamsicle. Guests can also enjoy a selection of appetizers including a prosciutto tower served with housemade chips and an herby dipping sauce, spicy tuna presented in crispy wontons, and earthy mushroom arancini.
Junior’s Brings Brooklyn’s Comfort Classics
Junior’s, the famed Brooklyn-based diner, has brought its iconic cheesecake and comfort food offerings to Resorts World Las Vegas. This location features a breakfast menu that includes indulgent options like custard-soaked French toast and oversized omelets. For lunch and dinner, diners can savor the brisket melt, which is made with shredded brisket, mozzarella, onions, and peppers, served on grilled bread with a side of au jus for dipping. Dessert fans should not miss the classic cheesecake or its variant topped with a fudgy brownie.
Changes in Downtown Las Vegas
A notable change in the culinary landscape is the closure of Pinches Tacos at Downtown Container Park. After over a decade of service, the establishment has shut its doors due to economic challenges, though its other location in Las Vegas remains operational.
New Addition: The Stadium Sports Bar
