Fodor's Expert Review Casa Playa

Fine-dining Mexican restaurants aren’t common on the Strip, and this one, which specializes in coastal cuisine, is special and also especially good. The menu emphasizes seafood, with starters including West Coast oysters with prickly pear mandarin mignonette and Mexican blue shrimp ceviche. Dorado is prepared in a banana leaf and served with green mole and chayote squash, and Dungeness crab is served with huitlacoche and cotija cheese. Dishes for the table such as pork belly with roasted baby pineapple, or whole snapper tempura, are served with fresh tortillas and salsas.
