What’s that you see greeting you at Famous Foods Street Eats in Resort World Las Vegas? Is it a whole roasted pig? It is! That’s not an unusual sight at Pepita’s Kitchen, where you’ll see it pretty much every day. Stretched alongside the main gaming floor at the resort, the “food court” (and we use that term loosely, as every food stall in the area is chef-driven) delivers food from countries across the globe, like lechon dishes from Dedet de la Fuente, owner of Pepita’s Kitchen.
What else will you find? Streetbird Las Vegas, where James Beard-winner Marcus Samuelsson gives fried chicken his twist with such items as the hot honey chicken and waffle. Samuelsson recently introduced Impossible chicken nuggets, so if you are vegan, you can still get a vegan fix while hanging out with meat-eating friends.
The Mozz Bar, by local favorite and James Beard finalist James Trees, offers chicken and eggplant sandwiches plus fresh mozzarella and burrata cheese. At Ten Suns, get Thai beef noodle dishes from the family whose Bangkok establishment was named as a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. Speaking of family, DJ Steve Aoki and brother Kevin’s Kuru Kuru Pa Yakitori stall features yakitori, kushiyaki and yaki onigiri, as well as mochi. Zouk Group’s FUHU Shack wraps up a Peking duck burrito; Ah Chun Shandong Dumplings serves, well, Shandong dumplings; the fragrance of the roti canai from Springleaf Prata Place will draw you in even if you’ve ordered elsewhere; and the Nori Bar presents sushi and sashimi plus sake.
In the center of it all is The Center Bar, where you will find a self-pour, automated beer system, plus wine and cocktails on tap. Directly behind that is Sweet Eats, where all manner of desserts are there for you. And those aren’t the only options here—find the Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den speakeasy if you can; or dishes from Char Kuey Teow, where they use charcoal-fired stoves to cook your rice and noodles. And look out for Tiger Sugar, a wildly popular Taiwanese black sugar milk tea place, coming soon.
