This week’s 5 best bets for food & drink in Las Vegas
Wagyu sale at Eataly
Eataly at Park MGM is celebrating Memorial Day weekend with Wagyu Day on Saturday, bringing a 50 percent discount on all wagyu beef retail and menu items. Backyard grillers can take home a wagyu Porterhouse, shell steak or culotte steak from Snake River Farms for half price, while dine-in guests can get one of the cuts and a side for half off. Wagyu Day launches a six-week grilling celebration at Eataly, with more meat-centric specials to come.
Holiday barbecue
A Memorial Day barbecue, with a menu of such all-American favorites as Smoked Beer Can Red Bird Chicken, soft-shell crab sliders and applewood-smoked barbecued baby rack ribs, is planned for Tuesday at Honey Salt at 1031 S. Rampart Blvd. It starts with a cocktail reception at 6 p.m. and is $49 (with beverage pairings of American whiskey, beer and wine for $25), and retired, reserve or active-duty members of the military can get 20 percent off with ID.
