Beginning November 26, Venetian Resort in Las Vegas will celebrate the holiday season with special shows, menus, and events.
Dining
BRERA osteria and Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano (through Dec. 31): Putting a new spin on the Christmas holiday, BRERA and Matteo’s both feature a special White Truffle tasting menu. These white truffles, from Italy’s most respected exporters, are harvested in November in the forests of Alba, Italy. While all truffles are deeply valued, these white truffles are often referred to as “fresh culinary gold,” and are desired for their exceptional flavor. Diners can choose between the 4-course holiday white truffle tasting menu or order à la carte.
Buddy V’s Ristorante (Dec. 11): Buddy & Lisa’s Christmas Brunch features more than 60 traditional Italian American favorites from a collection of family recipes. The brunch was inspired by the extensive holiday meals that have become a tradition in the Valastro family.
Visitors can enjoy Buddy “Cake Boss” Valastro and his wife Lisa’s favorites, served from interactive stations throughout the restaurant. Stations include antipasto, seafood, the carvery, the farm egg station, and the kid’s corner. A special holiday sweet table will feature additional favorites, including the Christmas spice cake, the buche de noel, gingerbread trifle, brulee cheesecake, hazelnut bars, zeppole, and of course cannoli.
Estiatorio Milos (through Dec. 31): Just in time for the holidays, estiatorio Milos introduces two more delicious reasons to visit during the month of December. Start with the new Milos Holiday cocktail made with pomegranate, lemon, housemade rosemary syrup, and egg white. And just added to the menu, Chef Costas Spiliadis is pleased to present the Royal Belgian Ossetra Caviar for a holiday splurge. The large pearls offer an amazing, balanced taste that is served with plenty of small, savory pancakes called blinis, created using a traditional Greek Orthodox recipe. It’s the luxurious way to get into the festive spirit of the season.
Mott 32 (Dec. 22 – Jan. 1): For those ready for a cocktail, The Duke of Suffolk is a tea-based version of Irish coffee featuring gin, English Breakfast and Earl Grey tea with a cream float. Diners can also order from a limited-time holiday menu featuring specials like steamed Australian lobster, crispy roasted squab, Geoduck two ways, and Hong Kong-style preserve meat in a rice clay pot.
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer (Dec. 19): Kickin’ off the holidays with burgers and beats, Black Tap will feature the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party with DJ Soxxie. Diners who wear their favorite Christmas sweater — good or bad — will receive a complimentary Winter Noggin’ cocktail.
In addition, holiday menus will be offered at the following restaurants:
