Komex Fusion is a casual restaurant here in Vegas. They offer their spin on Mexican Foods with a Korean Touch. They’ve been featured in various publications and various television shows.

On this visit they offered various specials.

Whatever you order they start you off with a complimentary basket of chips and some tasty salsa.

Maybe you want to start out with an order of fried wontons.

You HAVE to get the bulgogi tostada because it’s FORKING delicious!

Here’s the Bulgogi tostada.

Or maybe try a few tacos –

Above is a chicken and fish taco.

Below is a pork belly taco.

My husband loves the bulgogi grilled cheese.

On anther visit he enjoyed the Bulstrami Burrito with fries inside.

This was FORKING enormous! But he enjoyed it.

Komex Fusion is Worth a Fork!

The George Sportsman’s Lounge is a 24/7 Elevated American Restaurant, Bar, and Gaming Type of place located in the Durango Hotel/Casino. It’s very large with a very large patio. (Below is part of the patio)

Inside is a large bar, a smaller bar and lots of GIANT BIG screen TVs and a variety of other seating.

We started out by sharing the Brussels Sprouts (balsamic glaze, shaved parmesan, and pecans).

The sprouts look good but are a little under today so they are hard. The glaze taste a bit strong today and all the cheese today is hard and sticking together……..Oh well

But both our mains were very good.

Salmon Salad (Nicely grilled to medium salmon, romaine, arugula, radish, asparagus, cucumber, tomatoes, orange, citrus vinaigrette, and feta cheese.)

The Hot Honey Chicken Macaroni and Cheese was also very good. (3 cheese cavatappu, fried buttermilk chicken, hot honey, crispy onions, and chives).

The George Sportsman’s Lounge is Worth a Try!

Lemongrass & Lime is an award wining Thai Restaurant with two locations in Las Vegas Nevada (Summerlin and the one I go to in Centennial Hills). They are a little different here and offer seasonal specials in addition to their regular menu.

We tried two of the specials.

Short Rib Dumpling are amazing and sit in a well made beef stock.

The Potato Scaled Cod in Green Curry Sauce is also wonderful. It’s all great and maybe the best green curry that you can find in Vegas.

My husband got his usual

Spicy Basil Combo

Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano is an award wining Northern Style Italian Restaurant located in Restaurant Row in the Venetian Hotel/Casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada.

The lunch and dinner menus are seasonal so they always change slightly.

Surprisingly we’ve tried the most impressive salmon dishes in Las Vegas here at Matteo’s.

It’s shaved and so fresh and served up with the just right embellishments.

Even more impressive are the salmon entrees.

This is what impressive salmon is – Cooked Medium -Medium-Rare with CRISPY and Seasoned skin. (above is a lunch salmon entree) (Below is a dinner entree Salmon) As of yet I have not found another restaurant that prepares salmon this masterful in Las Vegas.

Another impressive dish that is only occasionally on the dinner menu is the Ligurian Focaccia.

This was to die for –

The bread is really light as air and is a balloon sort of bread. It’s stuffed with creamy light Crescenza cheese and this one was topped with squash blossoms, asparagus, Italian parsley, and mushrooms.

And of course the hand made pastas and sausage are amazing.

Below is what we tried so –

Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano is Impressive and is Worth a Fork!

ai Pazzi Pizza by Chef Fabio Viviani recently opened in the food hall in Rampart Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas Nevada. At the time of my visit last Friday I was told that this is just a take out restaurant without seating on the day we went. (That might be changing because I saw them adding tables the next day?) We sat at the bar seats by ai Pazzi Pizza and were told to leave because they were bar seats for the restaurant. (but the next day I saw they let ai Pazzi Pizza there so I don’t know if they changed things or maybe it depends on who is working? anyways They offer a limited menu of 6 twelve inch pizzas, two salads, soft beverages, and take out beer.

I noticed that chef Fabio was seated next door at the Pearls Oyster Bar.

We came at an off time and we sat ourselves at one of the few tables across from ai Pazzi Pizza but you can’t count (at this time) on getting a seat anywhere.

We tried a Pesto Pomodoro Pizza (mozzarella, pesto, tomatoes, raw onion, parmesan)

and a OG Salica (pomodoro, fontina, provolone, sausage, peppers, olives, red onions, roasted garlic, and oregano)

Of course both pizzas were delicious and both were thin and crisp.

At the time of my visit it wasn’t clear on the website that this was a take out only restaurant. Perhaps that will change in the near future?

Caramella is a fine dining Italian Restaurant located on the second floor in Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. It’s very rich looking inside. Stone accented walls with a few strange embellishments.

All around the room are also large ceramic spotted cats.

The Motown Music that fills the air seems a bit out of place. They also have patio seating with a view of the Strip.

Besides their regular menu they list a 3 course $49.99 menu (subject to change) but you have to ask for because they don’t push it.

It’s a great savings from their regular menu. It’s like getting two salads and two desserts for free. The wine deal isn’t the finest wine but it is much lower in price than the cheapest bottle of wine on their menu so you might want to give it a try. If you get the same server as we did …you might get told not to order the bottomless wine because it’s horrible. (True it’s not the best. But you don’t feel like spending over a $100.00 on one bottle that is really worth much less. soooooooooo that’s up to you.

I have to give them credit for both salads. The Caesar and the Arugula with shaved fennel both surpassed my expectations.

Caesar Salad

Arugula with shaved fennel (not much fennel) but the dressing is exceptionally great! It’s hard to see and was described as a vinaigrette but is really this crazy vegetable mash.

Stuffed (with cheese) Chicken Parmesan is reasonably good!

Salmon al Forno is also reasonably good!

And the sweet ending was the Signature Caamella Tart

It’s like caramel, chocolate, rich cream, and more chocolate. It’s above many out there!

Then on the way out you can purchase something sweet if you want.

Caramella at Planet Hollywood is Worth a Try!
