MEAT & GREET
New steakhouse Butcher & Thief by restaurateur Cory Harwell and the team behind Carson Kitchen has quickly become a local favorite at The Bend shopping center, leaning into nostalgic childhood flavors like peanut butter bacon and housemade cranberry Jell-O for dessert, while maintaining a more approachable price point compared to steakhouses on The Strip. Steaks from Creekstone Farms, Akaushi Beef and Allen Brothers are prepared in three steps — beginning with sous vide, followed by an 800-degree plancha sear and finished on the grill for tenderness and the perfect Maillard reaction crust. Steakhouse classics get a playful upgrade, like include bacon fat croutons on the Caesar salad and mac and cheese prepared with six different cheeses. 8670 West Sunset Road, butcherandthief.com
HAUTE & SPICY
If you thought Las Vegas had seen every kind of culinary spectacle, Gymkhana Las Vegas is here to raise the stakes. The Sin City outpost of the Michelin-starred London staple trades velvet ropes for velvet banquettes, pairing jewel-toned interiors with a menu that roars with bright, unapologetically bold Indian flavors and spice aplenty. Meals start with street food-style apps like Wagyu naan and aloo chaat, before moving on to tandoor-grilled kebabs and tikkas, classic curries with lamb shank, lobster, shortrib, and more, and vegetable dishes like chickpea masala and tandoori broccoli. The cocktails follow suit, riffing on classic gin and whisky drinks with cardamom, saffron, and chili for a little extra swagger. The vibe is glamorous and a little over-the-top – the perfect match for Sin City. 3730 S Las Vegas Boulevard, gymkhanarestaurants.com/lasvegas
