I don’t think I need to say this, but people take things too literally, especially when it comes to blogging. Despite my Godzilla like size, I’m not suggesting we literally take a bit out of the Sin City. About a week ago, my friend and Hawaii’s favorite pushy Chinee Broad, Melissa Chang asked me to find some new places to eat during my trip to Las Vegas, NV for BlogWorld Expo. Instead of searching online, using Yelp or waiting till we arrived to randomly ask I reached out to my network of Hawaii expats now living in the brightly lit city.
Here are the suggestions:
- Ciao Pizzeria on E. Tropicana and according to our friend, Sara Paikai-Sylva, “They have one of the best pizza’s and the philly cheese steaks I ever ate.”
- Sergio’s Italian Gardens also on E. Topicana and also recommended by Sara.
- Gold Rush Casino in Henderson, NV has fried Oreos, and as Sara puts it, “It’s definitely heaven!”
- Island Sushi and Grill has “pretty good tasting food,” according my classmate and fellow Mighty Tiger, Danielle Sako. According to their website, Island Sushi and Grill are owned by former residents of Oahu and the Big Island so not only is this a must place to visit, but a possible story for Hawaii Traditions.
- With a family of 5, my friend, Punahou alum, Lauren Scott recommends their family favorite, Studio B buffet at The M Resort.
- Firefly serves a variety of Tapas and according to Lauren it’s a very popular dining choice.
- Lauren also recommends, Texas de Brazil steakhouse and if their flavors are as lively as Fogo de Chao where Lilinoe, Guy, and I dined in Austin, Texas then count us in!
We will also be taking our favorite Executive Pastry Chef, business partner, and friend, Ed Morita to the Rio’s Village Seafood buffet when he arrives later this week. But, as you can see we have a great variety of suggestions that we’ll do our best to fit into our schedules.
