Care to do the famous tequila scorpion shot? I have done it once and that was was enough for me! It is a definite try in Vegas. Nacho Daddy also offers great nachos and Mexican dishes.

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Great cocktails and food! I have been to this Lazy Dog location several times and it is a great one. It is located at Town Square but not in TS so access into the restaurant is easy especially if you are bringing your four legged bestie. This restaurant is dog friendly and there is a lovely patio for you and your fur babies to eat, drink and enjoy. The interior of Lazy Dog is spacious, casual and comfortable. The food is good here no matter what you decide. We tend to order appys and share it since they have a nice selection of starters. The crispy calamari over a bed of rice is nice, the chicken wraps and the naked wings are also great. The cocktails here are very good too, especially their maple bacon old fashion! Delicious food and cocktails for you and your poochie... well no cocktails for poochie :)

Esther's Kitchen is in located in the Arts District of Vegas which is in between Downtown and The Strip. This casual upscale restaurant is another of our favorites serving modern Italian.

Triple George Grill

This is another favorite as I have taken out of town guests who wanted something downtown and at a reasonable price. Triple George serves everything from burgers, salads, steaks and traditional fried chicken. The bar is fantastic and takes up the center of the main dining room. The cocktails are amazing and so is the atmosphere!

Flippin' Good Chicken, Burgers, Beer

No lies- this place is Flippin Good! Especially if you are looking for a casual restaurant with some great burgers and chicken sandwich. They also have vegan options like the chik'n sandwich and other crispy sides. I honestly like the fried chicken sandwiches the best especially the Nashville Hot. This is a also a great place to get a drink of the alcoholic or non-alcoholic nature.

Blume Restaurant Las Vegas

One of my favorite upscale restaurants in Henderson/ Las Vegas. Everything here is phenomanal as well as beautiful. The cocktails are creative, colorful and delicious. This is one of my favorite places for drinks, dinner and dessert- the 3 D's! The smoked rib-eye is amazing as well as the Tomahawk steak. They also have serious appetizers here such as shishito peppers and great fancy-like wings. If I were to recommend any upscale restaurant in Henderson, this would be it!

Firefly* Tapas Kitchen & Bar

Another great place just minutes of The Strip on Paradise. Firefly has an incredible scene of great cocktails, wonderful tapas and dancing in the evenings. If you find yourself here, I do recommend the bacon wrapped dates, stuffed peppers, croquettas and the chocolate tres leches cake. I have come here with family, friends, celebrating birthdays, etc. This is one fired up place!

Partage

Fine Dining in Chinatown! It happens at Partage and it's wonderful. My friends, daughter and I had an amazing time for dinner and looking forward to coming back again. First things first, parking! If you have ever been to the shopping center that Partage is located in, then you know that it can get crazy at night. The best thing is to valet it in front of Partage, park in the lot in the back or Uber it. We found parking in the back lot, my other friend parked at the larger shopping center a block down and another friend did valet. You have options! As for the dining experience, it was very nice. We all did a tasting menu but had different variations that were accommodated. Some did the three course, others did the five, a couple people wanted pescatarian and one (me) could not eat uncooked egg yolk. They were able to juggle all our request splendidly. At one point one of the courses had an uncooked egg which I am allergic to. They asked if I wanted Frog Legs and I passed, since I was pulling more towards seafood not amphibian. The chef specially prepared a delicious scallop for me that my friends at the table were eyeing! Very delicious! The other courses served were flavorful and the right serving size. The Butternut Squash Soup was a table favorite, presented beautifuly and tasted wonderful. Everything was amazing! We were full but not stuffed. I definitely recommend Partage for those who are lookingfor something special in Vegas
