Noble 33 Opens Sparrow, a Modern Coastal Italian Restaurant, at Hotel Figueroa in Downtown Los Angeles

Work up an appetite at the pool and clean up back in the hotel suite before heading out to dine at Toca Madera, SW Steakhouse, STK, Carversteak or one of the many other fine eateries in the Las Vegas area. Whichever way you like your filet or ribeye, these spots have got you covered.

Almost hidden in Avery Row in Mayfair is an exciting new restaurant opening that foodies will want to add to their bucket lists immediately: the new Sparrow, the restaurant concept imported after a highly successful launch in Los Angeles. Offering up modern coastal Italian cuisine, this goal is to whizz you across to the Mediterranean through the foods on offer. Does it achieve this? Certainly – although not without adding a real sense of LA about it, too.

The high-energy Mexican steakhouse in the courtyard between the Aria Resort and Casino and the Shops at Crystals integrates fire at every turn. Cocktails like the Los Muertos are set aflame. So too are the numerous candles and torches that illuminate the bar, private room, and main dining room — not to mention the fire dancers and fire breathers who perform during dinner. Notable dishes here include the satisfyingly gooey queso fundido, the light and flavorful branzino, and the guacamole with pomegranate seeds.
