Also, thoughts on Bardot versus Bouchon for brunch? From memory, I prefer Bardot for the food and Bouchon for the outdoor seating.
Purely through proximity to where I’ve stayed, I have gone to Bardot much more frequently for brunch over the years and have always enjoyed myself. My memory is that they’re both good and think which one you go to depends more on if you want something specific to one of their menus, location, or decor.
Bardot being in the center of the strip and a reasonable walk from several resorts you might be staying at just makes it way more convenient and it hasn’t felt worth it to go out of the way to Bouchon. I’d definitely rank Bardot as the best brunch option within that center strip area where Bouchon is more north strip.

You’d probably appreciate the wine list at Lamaii.

I was thinking of going to Lotus of Siam. How does it compare?
Never been to Lotus but heard it has gone downhill. Lamaii’s owner / wine buyer used to work there
If you go to Lotus go to Flamingo Rd. The Red Rocks location is supposedly not very good. The last few trips to LoS have been uneven. Some kinda mediocre and some as good as usual.
The sake list at LoS is pretty good.

Vegas is pretty freakin expensive these days, $10 for a shitty cheese slice? no problem
Herbs & rye for all day happy hour steaks and spicy mussels and the drinks are pretty damn good - nothing truly next level but it has become an off-strip staple

Brunch at Bouchon. Nothing impressed. Bad, mealy shrimp on the seafood platter.
Nomad Library. Tried the tuna tartare and caviar. Found the table service for the tuna tartare gimmicky and the tuna tartare ordinary for a restaurant in this price range. I liked the caviar service more. The room is awesome. Enjoyed the service and wine by the glass. I would definitely return.
Lamaii. I enjoyed the wine list and a nice JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich auslese. I found the food average. I was displeased with all the crispy this and crispy that, which I view as a gimmick to cover for low quality ingredients.
NY Bagel and Bakery. Entry level soft bagel and thin cream cheese.
Vesta. Excellent pour over, delicious matcha iced tea. I love coming here.
