Mouthwatering Ways to Start the New Year’s Countdown
If you learned one thing in college, it’s never party on an empty stomach. So, before the bottle service and free champagne at the hottest New Year’s Eve parties, before joining thousands under the arch for the final countdown, and before the massive firework show coinciding with that special New Year’s kiss, indulge in some of the finest cuisine the “Biggest Little City” has to offer.
From casual to elegant, the Peppermill is offering fantastic dining options to celebrate the New Year. Enjoy filet mignon and shrimp with dark Valrhona cheesecake for dessert at Biscotti’s, or petite filet Diane and broiled lobster tail with classic New York cheesecake at Café Milano. If you’re looking for a wide selection of mouthwatering entrees, the Island Buffet is offering a chilled seafood bar, carving station, Southwestern and Asian selections, and of course, decadent desserts. For an elegant dining experience and wine parings, try the four-course Maine lobster tail feast at Bimini Steakhouse; the giant pasta shells with vine-ripened tomatoes, basil and prosciutto with raspberry crème brûlée inside Romanza Ristorante; or the pan-roasted Angus filet, wood-grilled Maine lobster Rockerfeller and Chocolate sushi with malted milk chocolate crème brûlée at Oceano.
The Eldorado offers three delectable New Year’s Eve choices that will fill you up before you hit the town. Join the tantalizing New Year’s celebration at La Strada and feast on the creations of Chef Ivano Centemri, which include, duck prosciutto, Cotechino sausage ravioli, roasted beef tenderloin and lobster medallion, pan roasted Scottish salmon and chocolate mousse. At Roxy Restaurant and Bar, treat yourself to lobster bisque, prime New York streak, chocolate truffles along with complimentary champagne. For a diverse pre-party feast, The Buffet is offering everything from calamari francaise to roast turkey.
Whether you’re looking for New Year’s Eve lunch or dinner, you’ll find it at the Atlantis. Beginning at 11:00 a.m., Manhattan Deli is serving New York steak and crab, while the Purple Parrot dishes up a 3 pre-fixe course including prime rib and crab legs. For a savory dining experience in the evening, the Atlantis presents a trio of flavorful options, including, a steak and seafood dinner at Toucan Charlie’s Buffet & Grille, wood fired New York steak stuffed with jumbo lump crab at the Atlantis Steakhouse or coquilles du Chef and tournedos Rossini at Bistro Napa.
Begin your countdown to the New Year with a mouthwatering dinner at Circus Circus where you will enjoy a broiled half-pound ham steak topped with raisin sauce at the Americana Café; carved turkey, prime rib and lamb at the Courtyard Buffet; or lobster, crab and asparagus risotto at the Steakhouse at Circus.
The Western Village is serving up delicious and festive New Year’s Eve menus that promise to satisfy any hunger. Treat your palate to grilled petit filet mignon of beef topped with Dungeness crab at Pancho & Willie’s, or horseradish-crusted tenderloin of beef with butter poached petit lobster tail at the Western Village Steak House.
