£ FAMOUS FOODS STREET EATS: This
globe-trotting food court has everything
from sushi and fried chicken to authentic
Southeast Asian noodle dishes. At night, slip
into the well-hidden speakeasy — the discrete
entrance is behind a shelf lined with lucky cat
figurines. zoukgrouplv.com/famousfoods
££ ESTHER’S KITCHEN: When renowned
chef James Trees opened his restaurant in the
Arts District in 2018, people thought his choice
of location was lunacy. But the food — simple,
Italian-inspired fare with a focus on fine
ingredients — attracted so many accolades
that Esther’s Kitchen sparked a wave of
interest in the neighbourhood. Don’t miss the
sourdough bread with a whipped basil ricotta
topping. estherslv.com
£££ DELILAHS: Get your Great Gatsby on
at this ritzy supper club where a diva belts out
jazz tunes under crystal chandeliers to tables
of finely dressed diners. The beef wellington is
a rival to Gordon Ramsay’s and there’s a strict
no-photo policy, owing to the fact that many
celebrities like to spend their evenings here.

if sleep is a priority, but fun is right on your
doorstep. goldennugget.com
