The Bao Spot and other new restaurants launching in Las Vegas

Here are some quick bites on new and planned restaurants around town:

It’s the wow of bao at The Bao Spot, which launched a few weeks ago at 7320 S. Rainbow Blvd., not too far south of the 215 Beltway. The menu features creative bao (panko tofu, soft shell crab, sous vide pork belly), vegetable-protein bowls, boba, and a handful of appetizers and desserts.

Bjørk Caviar, once only a distributor, just began retail sales at its Arts District premises, 1130 S. Casino Center Drive, entrance on California Avenue. Although caviar, like diamonds, never really goes out of style, the briny beads are especially flourishing these days in Vegas. The holidays are approaching. Who wouldn’t love a tin of osetra as a stocking stuffer?

It’s getting hard to keep track of the food and drink going into the UnCommons development in southwest Vegas. Urth Caffé is now open there, serving organic tea drinks, coffees and coffee drinks, boba and smoothies, breakfast (pancakes, waffles, eggs, bowls, panini), and lunch-dinner (salads, sandwiches, pizza, all-day brunch dishes).

The Parlour, the latest project from chef Antonio Nunez, is set to debut downtown Saturday featuring private blend coffee, siphon coffee served tableside, specialty drinks, house pastries, elevated breakfast dishes and a drive-thru. The Parlour is at 616 E. Carson Ave., Suite 140.

Peter Luger, the renowned Brooklyn steakhouse nearly 140 years old, is planned to open at Caesars Palace this fall, in the space once occupied by Rao’s, another Gotham staple. The Strip location will be the first Peter Luger outside of the New York City region. Peter Luger famously doesn’t accept credit cards. Will that little policy make its way to the Strip?

The 16,000-square-foot Flight Club Las Vegas, the social darts spot set to open this fall in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, just announced its food and drink offerings.

Look for botanical craft cocktails on the drinks menu, lobster elote dip or vegan banh mi flatbread from the oches menu (an oche is the line dart players stand behind), an A5-grade wagyu tasting and bottle service on the reserve menu, and oysters on the half shell and rosé on draft during weekday 4 to 6 p.m. happy hour.
