Sicilian Guys Trattoria is a full service Italian restaurant and bar located in the North – West part of Las Vegas Nevada. They offer pastas, sandwiches, salads, entrees, a variety of pizza, and more. Inside they have booths, traditional tables, and bar seating.

We started out by sharing the beet and arugula salad (arugula, red onions, beets, pecans, feta cheese, cranberries.

It’s large and tasty. It’s a good starter.

They also served us complimentary crusty bread with olive oil and balsamic that I forgot to photo.

I tried the Vega Specialty White Pizza (ricotta, mozzarella, blend, garlic, spinach, garlic oil).

The crust is very mild tasting. On top they are very generous with the cheese toppings. It taste like they use a quality ricotta. It’s tasty but does run a bit garlic forward.

My husband really enjoyed the Sunday Braciole (only served on Sundays) (thin beef rolled and stuffed with prosciutto, provolone, parmesan, garlic, hard boiled eggs, herbs) and also comes with Sicilian Herb Potatoes.

We finished with a cannoli sweet ending.

Went back and tried a few more things.

We did start with the beet salad again so I will skip that.

For my main I had the Pollo Vesuvio (white meat chicken in an oregano white wine wine sauce with garlic and peas. Served with Sicilian herb potatoes).

My husband tried the Chicken Piccata (white meat chicken in a butter white wine sauce topped with lemon zest and capers and served with pasta)

Both dishes were A-OK.

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill is located in the MGM Grand Hotel/Casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. They offer a mostly American type menu and are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

It’s nice and bright inside. You can sit at the bar, a traditional table or a comfortable booth here.

We started out with the Truffle Potato Chips with Blue Cheese Cream and Chives.

I have to mention that over the past few decades we’ve been to and enjoyed lots of Wolfgang Puck Restaurants. This dish is the only dish that we both didn’t enjoy at a Wolfgang Puck Restaurant. I honestly believe that this dish was made incorrectly. The sauce was very thick and a very heavy white sauce. The potato chips were extra thin and delicate and could not support the heavy white sauce. It tasted like blue cheese when you came across a chunk of cheese. The fresh parsley brightened it up some.

The Chinois Salad was good.

The salad is dressed in a tasty sesame soy mustard vinaigrette. There are really great candied cashews that aren’t too sweet. The white meat chicken is very moist and developed with flavor. If I were to guess I’d say it came from a sous vide. The red endive is slightly bitter but it looks pretty.

The Italian Sandwich is made with Artisanal Meats and Cheeses and is served on Rosemary Focaccia with basil aioli and balsamic.

Today the focaccia is a bit greasy. The meat filling is very good but is all squished tight together like it was premade and set a side. That’s ok but when your sandwich cost $23. you want it fresh made.

They weren’t big on clearing plates today. The server and also the bus person didn’t offer to remove our appetizer plates.

That was my trip to Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill.

Siegel’s 1941 is an American Restaurant located in the El Cortez Hotel/Casino in Fremont Street in Las Vegas Nevada. They offer an all day menu that includes breakfast like matzah ball brei, challah French toast, and smoked salmon bagels. They offer starters like shrimp cocktail, chicken wings, and matzah ball soup. They also offer salads, and Delicatessen like house roasted ham, turkey, pastrami, and roast beef sandwiches. They offer many dinner entrees. A few of them are the Meyer Lansky Burger, Siegel’s Fish and Chips, Roasted 1/2 Chicken, Prime Rib Special, Salmon, and Liver and Onions.

In case you don’t know the theme of the restaurant is the American Mobster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel.

They say he was handsome and charismatic besides being a hitman.

But most importantly Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel was credited for being the dreamer that started the development of the Las Vegas Strip.

Today I tried a pastrami sandwich.

The pastrami tastes slightly under seasoned and seems kinda bland for pastrami. It’s also slightly undercooked because the fat is hard. It is also served on mild rye without seeds and came with skinny fries.

My husband tried a chicken fried steak.

He said that it was ok but not the best. I have heard that most people enjoy the Prime Rib Special so if you are into that you might do alright.

Siegel’s 1941 at El Cortez Hotel/Casino interesting atmosphere but not the best.

Carmelita’s Mar Y Tierra is a Mexican Surf and Turf type of restaurant located near to downtown Las Vegas Nevada. It’s in not the prettiest part of town. But inside is bright, fresh and new.

They offer a shrimp heavy menu with many seafood plates and a few steak plates. In the corner is a bar and around the room are booths. The middle is filled with traditional tables and a karaoke bar.

Complimentary chips and spicy salsa is included here.

We started with tortillas de pescado (snapper) They call them croquets but I think they are more like pancakes? They were served with tortillas, lettuce, pico, lime wedges, and chipotle aioli.

I tried the Torre De Tuna – Ahi Tuna, rice, avocado, cucumbers, lime salsa negra Chile sauce, and tortillas.

It’s more like a humungous appetizer that can serve several people. It taste fresh,,,It’s enormous……They forgot the rice…oh well more fish to bring home.

My husband tried the Camarones A La Diablo (spicy shrimp with rice and beans)

He said that it was very good! Delicious rice, delicious beans, shrimp perfectly cooked in a delicious but CRAZY SPICY HOT SAUCE……Very good but too spicy hot for nearly any human.

Carmelita’s Mar Y Tierra is Worth a Try!

District Deli & Coffee is located in a not too pretty part of downtown Las Vegas Nevada. They offer breakfast sandwiches, Monzu Bread toasts, a variety of sandwiches, chef salads, deli sides, pastries, coffees, smoothies, and teas. They have a few indoor tables and a few outdoor tables. It’s casual. You order and pay at the counter.

Sandwiches are the way to go here but I ordered the Panzanella Salad with Smoked Salmon because I don’t come across them often. (fresh mozzarella, toasted garlic focaccia, cherry tomatoes, arugula, red onion)

It’s a bit of a fail because the croutons are hard as rocks and Panzanella is suppose to be bread salad……..Soaked bread like in tomatoes and vegetables…..Not always but often oil, vinegar, basil…….These croutons stayed so hard that they couldn’t be penetrated with a fork. I’d go back but would have to go with a sandwich next time.

My husband had a sandwich and also took out a sandwich for latter. The sandwiches actually are quite good. Below is the Mortadella Sandwich (Pecorino Romano, arugula, Monzu Focaccia with Caponata) and house made chips.

He also took out a Italian Sandwich (fennel salami, capicola, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pepperoncini, herbed vinegar, pickled pepper spread, sesame roll)

Sandwiches are the way to go here.
