5 restaurants where you’ll find festive Christmas-themed dishes
It’s been looking a lot like Christmas since about September. Still, it may be hard to believe that the big day is only about a week away. Las Vegas restaurants are in the holiday spirit and want to ensure their guests are too, so they’re offering dishes such as these.
Peppermint sundae
The house-made Peppermint Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae at Topgolf’s Tinsel Town attraction is a warm brownie served with vanilla ice cream and peppermint-infused hot fudge, with candy cane “snow” on top, $11, through Dec. 27.
Topgolf Las Vegas, 702-933-8458 or topgolf.com
Peppermint bark pancakes
Peppermint bark has become quite prevalent in recent years — sort of a Christmas retort to autumn’s pumpkin-spiced everything — but Hash House a Go Go offers the rare twist of featuring the flavors for breakfast, with a buttermilk pancake mixed with crushed candy canes and milk chocolate chips and topped with whipped cream, $12.49, Dec. 24-25 and Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.
