3 Best Restaurants in Nevada, USA

The fare's as delectable as the setting is incongruous at the casual spot that Hawaii's "godfather of poke" opened inside a neon-lit 21st-century bowling alley replete with video poker; an arcade; pool tables; three bars; and a patio with firepits, cornhole, and bocce. The kinetic venue's a hoot, but the poke tacos and nachos and Sam Choy's signature Spam musabi—not to mention the burgers, salads, bowls, wraps, pizzas, and sandwiches—are seriously good.

The luminous, color-changing, crescent-shaped lighting above the bar glows like a jellyfish, a fitting visual motif for this seafood-heavy, upscale Asian restaurant and nightspot. The cuisine here ranges from noodle, rice, and wok dishes to thick steaks and a deep, delectable sushi menu. Well-heeled workers flock here for half-off happy hour sips and small plates, doing so amid an equally natty black-and-white decor complete with water walls and fire elements. Try a starter like tuna "pizza" before sampling the handmade dumplings and indulging in their famous Peking duck. The patio out front is perfect for people-watching and taking in the hustle and bustle of downtown Summerlin in a decidedly more relaxed setting.

David Chang's budding New York–based restaurant empire went way west for the first time with this spot at The Cosmopolitan, which offers a mix of Momofuku favorites and only-in-Vegas choices. You can also set up slow-roasted pork shoulder for parties of four to six; other group options are five-spice roasted duck or candied walnut lobster and shrimp, for three or four. The decor is heavy on soothing woods, and the nearby Milk Bar offers MilkQuakes as well as Christina Tosi's soft serve, cookies, pies, and more.
