Few holidays bring families together like Thanksgiving, and few cities do Thanksgiving like Las Vegas. The multitude of offerings this week is mind-boggling, but there’s something for everyone, so get to planning! (All menus are Nov. 24 only unless specified.)
Cake Boss’ Buddy Valastro is all about family, so you can bet his eponymous restaurant at The Venetian is ready to satisfy you and yours. Buddy V’s Ristorante offers a three-course meal: roasted butternut squash soup, slow-roasted turkey breast and pumpkin bundt cake.
Also at The Venetian, Thomas Keller’s Bouchon elevates the turkey feast with foie gras, short ribs and seafood (don’t forget the wine!).
Over at MGM Grand, Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House serves up seasonal items like purple sweet potato and baby carrot salad, tempura fried spicy salmon and avocado rolls, turkey with homemade andouille sausage and Creole green beans and pumpkin spice cake.
One of the Strip’s premier steakhouses, STK at The Cosmopolitan, offers the tempting combo of roasted free-range turkey with confit turkey thighs with foie gras stuffing and Brussels sprouts, topped off with spiced pumpkin pie with candied ginger cream and crunch caramel honeycomb. This menu is available from Nov. 24-27.
Scotch 80 Prime at Palms takes an innovative twist with creamy kabocha soup (king crab hush puppies, fall spices, Chantilly cream and fine herbs) in addition to roasted young tom turkey breast, with a pear tart tatin for dessert.
For those off the Strip, Red Rock Resort’s Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar offers a choice of harvest salad or butternut squash bisque, followed by herb-crusted turkey, with either a slice of apple or pumpkin pie for dessert.
If you’d like your Thanksgiving with a bit of Irish spirit, head over to Rí Rá Irish Pub at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, where the menu includes herb-roasted turkey, Kilbeggan salmon (stuffed with cream cheese, dill, crab and shrimp) and pumpkin cheesecake.
