Each week in the Urbanist, we take that wisdom one step further by seeking out not just locals but local experts — those who are especially well versed in their cities’ newest and most noteworthy scenes — to give us insider tips.

Local Restaurant Sparrow + Wolf. Photo: Sabin Orr. Sparrow + Wolf. Photo: Sabin Orr. “Sparrow + Wolf is by chef Brian Howard. He really jump-started the off-Strip dining scene. It’s definitely popular among Vegas chefs. The restaurant itself has dark walls and furniture. There’s a big mural of a wolf on the wall. It’s really eclectic fare. He has a lot of Asian influences because the restaurant is in Chinatown. He cooks a lot of really unique dishes.

The one at Bally’s is still really rockin’, I’m not gonna lie. You can go crazy and do caviar and Champagne. There’s prime rib, a big shellfish section, piles of desserts. I love all the seafood and shellfish there. Just load up on a plate of crab. Bacchanal at Caesars Palace is a great one as well.

Museum Photo: The Neon Museum “I love the Neon Museum . It really captures our history with more than 200 signs and memorabilia dating back to the 1930s — the iconic Stardust sign, all the neon lights. You get a glimpse into what the Strip used to look like. It’s set up almost like a junkyard; locals call it the Neon Boneyard. Everything is set up in an outdoor exhibit. There’s this Liberace sign with a piano underneath that plays by itself and lights up at night.

Las Vegas fine dining is such a treat. So many excellent ⭐️restaurants within walking distance of your strip hotel.
