Where to eat in Vegas this Thanksgiving

Just because you’re spending Thanksgiving in Las Vegas doesn’t mean you have to miss out on a turkey dinner. Nearly every restaurant in Vegas will be open on Nov. 28 with its own take on America’s favorite eating day. Where will you give thanks?

Comme Ca

A French-inspired brasserie may not be the first place you think of for Thanksgiving, but chef David Myers’ three-course menu will have you saying merci. The prix-fixe menu features the best of fall ingredients, starting with your choice of a roasted duck and chicory salad, or the Cinderella pumpkin soup served with green curry banana bread and cardamom butter. Get your foie gras fix with roasted apples and a chestnut waffle. Your goose is cooked three ways: the goose trio entrée includes the leg served as a confit pavé, the breast roasted with goose stuffing and cranberry glace, and goose bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts. For dessert, pumpkin pie, of course, with pumpkin ganache, fall-spiced ice, vanilla streusel and Chantilly cream. $55 per person, $85 with wine pairings. www.commecarestaurant.com

Aureole

Charlie Palmer’s contemporary American restaurant is famous for highlighting the best of American staples through elegant technique. The Thanksgiving five-course tasting menu honors the finest seasonal ingredients, with dishes such as roasted butternut squash ravioli with confit chicken oyster (the small tender bit of dark meat above the thigh), and a sweet finish of brown butter roasted apple with fruit chutney. The star of the show is the New Hampshire turkey with cranberry chestnut stuffing; it doesn’t get more Pilgrim-y than that. $80 main dining room, $90 Swan Court. Add $55 for wine pairing. www.charliepalmer.com

Strip House

Classic Vegas meets Thanksgiving dinner at Strip House. The Planet Hollywood restaurant has a vintage vibe with its dark, intimate dining room complete with photos of burlesque beauties on the walls. If red meat is your style on Turkey Day, Strip House offers an off-menu 12-ounce bone-in filet ($64) char crusted with aged parmesan cheese and served with a 12-year aged balsamic vinegar. If your dining companion demands the turkey, Strip House has you covered with the bird, sage-chestnut bread stuffing, Hubbard squash puree, Brussels sprouts, confit gizzard gravy and cranberry-tarragon relish ($38). Everyone wins! www.striphouse.com

Hash House a Go Go

It isn’t Thanksgiving without an obscene amount of food. Hash House a Go Go at the Quad is known for its “twisted farm food,” but also its monstrous portions. Choose from a number of specials, including stuffed turkey meatloaf with mozzarella, grilled onions, spinach and mashed potatoes finished on the griddle to produce some nice crispy bits ($20). Feel like going classic? They’ve got the whole shebang overflowing on a platter with roasted turkey breast, mashed potatoes, rosemary gravy, old-school dressing, carrots, green beans and cranberry sauce ($22). You’ll be giving thanks that you wore stretchy pants. www.hashhouseagogo.com
