Those amazing Las Vegas temperatures are officially here, and if you are in Vegas and missing the beaches a bit, there’s only one place to go: Kassi Beach House, which re-creates the feeling of an oceanside restaurant like no other in town.
Designed by L.A.-based restaurateur Nick Mathers, the Mediterranean-themed Kassi Beach House is a delight to experience—a welcoming archway leads into décor that instantly makes you think of a patio area of a large home. There are several other smaller dining areas, most of which are lit by natural light via floor-to-ceiling windows for brunch and lunch. Seating is highly varied—everything from long wooden tables and booths to couches, all within earshot of a DJ area. When the sun goes down for dinner, the soft lighting really enhances the beachy vibe.
While you peruse the menu for a cocktail, you’ll be impressed by the activity nearby—on the opposite wall from the windows is a huge oven, as well as a pass-through so you can see the kitchen staff busily building your repast.
There are so many great signature cocktail choices, from the Free Bird, made with tequila, lime, watermelon and mint, or the Amalfi Slushie, a refreshing mix of Cazadores blanco, lime, watermelon and pineapple. For the rum fans out there, a perfect libation is the Subtropic Slushie, made with Mount Gay rum, lime, passion fruit and orange.
Several fantastic dishes can be found at both brunch and dinner here, from the branzino (six ounces of oven-roasted white fish served with confit fingerling potatoes, roasted fennel and roasted cherry tomatoes in a rose white sauce) to perfectly cooked pizzas ranging from classics like the margherita to burrata (crushed tomatoes, burrato and oregano) and truffle (a true taste sensation with truffled ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, pecorino, shaved black truffle and white truffle oil).
Don’t skip dessert, as there are so many options perfect to send you out into the night with a smile on your face. We recommend the housemade ice cream sandwich, perfect for sharing with pistachio gelato, marshmallow and chocolate.
