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. Dungeness crab esquites is a corn salad with huitlacoche and cotija cheese, and lamb birria comes with roasted salsa verde. Dishes for the table—such as pork belly with roasted baby pineapple, or whole snapper tempura—are served with fresh tortillas and salsas. A late-night menu is available in the lounge beginning at 10:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
