🔥 This Week in Vegas

More Vegas, More Vantage!

Big news—The Vantage LV is now coming to your inbox twice a week!
Instead of just Wednesdays, you’ll now get fresh updates every Monday and Thursday.

When I first started The Vantage LV, my goal was to capture all the newest Vegas had to offer so you didn’t have to go chasing and digging, but even I underestimated just how fast this city moves. To cover everything, and keep you informed, I realized one issue a week simply just isn’t enough. Thank you again for the huge support.

Now, let’s jump in! I hope you all had a solid Valentine’s weekend recovery (or at least survived the sugar crash). This week, let’s take it easy—maybe check out some new comfort foods, lock in those poolside plans, or start dreaming about the summertime heat.

Today I have for you:

🏮 Chinatown’s hottest food hall just leveled up—come hungry.
🏖️ The ultimate poolside escape is getting an upgrade.
🎤 Backstreet’s back, alright—Vegas gets a Millennium moment.

Here’s what’s worth your time this week:

🍽️ New Tastes

Yu-Or-Mi Sushi is my new go-to. Super fresh, a cool little bar vibe, and the prices don’t make me cry like some other sushi spots in town because it’s on the South Side.

NoMad Bar is the move if you want that intimate classy feeling without the $$$. Still refined, still killer cocktails, but without the additional pretention.
