Things to Eat & Drink

‌

Siegel's Bagelmania

Seth's Tip

Bagel Mania has the best bagels in town and is great for breakfast, lunch, or catering. It’s fun and lively, and if Jewish deli desserts aren’t your thing there is a Pink Box integrated into the building. I highly recommend the smash burger for lunch, the sturgeon and nova lox because sturgeon is hard to find. The Courtney Schorr is not only named after my sister but is one of the healthier items on the menu.

Palette Tea Lounge & Dim Sum

Seth's Tip

In most restaurants, you get vinegar and scallions to pour on the dumplings, which can be a messy process. I’ve never seen ANYONE in the world create vinegar caviar. These little balls made of vinegar and scallion melt the second they hit the dumpling and are the perfect ratio. My other favorites are the wagyu beef fried rice, the coffee ribs served in a coffee cup and doused in a coffee-flavored sauce, and the Mapo tofu, which is a vegan dish made of a tofu brick paired with Impossible meat and a crispy noodle base.

Double Zero Pie & Pub

Seth's Tip

This is the best new pizza in town, and its located in one of the great strip malls in Chinatown. My favorites are the Speck, the margarita flatbread, the Diavola, and the carpaccio. They also have the best Neapolitan pizza in Vegas.

Chinglish Cantonese Wine Bar

Seth's Tip

The ambiance is great for a local date night spot and the food is phenomenal. Portuguese fried rice reminds me of my days living in Macau, the Hot ’n Sour soup is the best in town, and the Peking duck is both excellent and affordable.

Hobak Korean BBQ

Seth's Tip

You can’t go wrong with any of the meat combos here, but for true Korean flavors I’d recommend the marinated meats. An absolute must is the wagyu bulgogi that’s thinly sliced with lots of sweet umami flavors. Other highlights on the menu include the Hobak aged short ribs, angus fried rice, and the bean paste stew. They’ve got the best quality meat and they cook it for you instead of cooking it yourself.

Komodo Las Vegas

The Peking duck is greasy in the best way with a fantastic presentation. I also recommend the dim sum and the beef jerky.

About

I’ve been in Las Vegas for 40 years, and have kept my finger on the pulse of this city through my deep connections in the hospitality industry. During my free time, I mountain bike, take street photography, and make overly-produced family videos with my kids and a Nikon mirrorless camera I take everywhere. About 25% of my time is spent traveling for business and I'm an old-school, old-world, luxury hospitality guy who finds it sad that bathtubs aren't standard in hotels anymore. In fact, you can tell a lot about a hotel based on the quality of their bathrobes, and I've realized I'll take a hotel with history over a trendy and chic boutique hotel any day.

My family has deep roots in Las Vegas and I’ve seen firsthand how this city has changed and grown through the years. I’m actively involved in the community and always make a point to welcome small business owners and newcomers with open arms. Vegas is a transitional town, and I’d love to see it become more generational as it continues to grow. I can’t imagine a better place to raise my family and I’d like to have a hand in making this city even better.

We tapped Seth for his deep knowledge of all things Vegas hospitality. He's seen the city evolve from a handful of nice resorts in the middle of a Nevada desert, to the bustling entertainment mecca that it is today. Hospitality is in his blood, and as a child, Seth spent his days running around reception desks and through the back of the house at some of the Strip's most famous and luxurious hotels. He's a business owner, supportive of the little guys, the big guys and understands first-hand what makes this city great. After all, he plays an active role in shaping it.
