Cured & Whey

Valley View Blvd., 702-429-3617, facebook.com/curedandwhey
Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill

bBd’s
While the place is known for burgers and desserts, this new Palace Station spot also offers Long Island Duck Ramen.

Sparrow + Wolf
Chef Brian Howard doubles up on the bird in his Campfire Duck by pairing a juicy piece of breast meat with a helping of foie gras. The dish is rounded out with wood ear mushrooms and salted plum. $36, 4480 Spring Mountain Road, 702-790-2147, sparrowandwolflv.com
