Downtown Vegas’ revamp progresses with the pre-Prohibition-inspired Commonwealth. The 6,000-square-foot cocktail bar boasts a backroom speakeasy, a rooftop space and seasonal cocktails. Though the 20-foot-long bar attracts crowds, booths allow for private conversation.

Mizumi
3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South
wynnlasvegas.com[1]
With its glowing waterfall and lush koi lagoon, Mizumi’s alfresco seating suggests a Japanese garden. The indoor space, once home to Okada, is drenched in crimson, a shade that’s said to induce appetite. But who needs coaxing with dishes like the Robatayaki platter, a mouthwatering combination of Kurobuta pork, Jidori chicken and Wagyu short ribs?

Tetsu guests can pick from a central table piled high with meat, seafood and vegetables, then move to one of six grills. (Four are blackjack-style tables, in case you forget you’re in Vegas.) Look for jalapeño octopus, Wagyu rib eye, live shrimp and foie gras. And remember to save room for Takayama’s truffle ice cream covered in gold flakes.
