Las Vegas Dining & Attractions & Shows
Dining:
“Trevi”, located in the Caesar’s forum shops is a must stop. Besides the beautiful atmosphere with the fake sky looking like you are outside, the restaurant is fantastic. Come in for happy hour or anytime to dine. Start with their tasty steamed clams or fried calamari. For entrees, divulge in the one of their awesome homemade pizzas or pastas.
We loved the shrimp and angel hair pasta as it was incredible. Before you leave, you must get some of the best gelato around in their own area and big selection of flavors.

Ocean One Bar & Grill
This hot spot especially for lunch with pretty much every dish at $4.99. That is why there was a wait and it was very popular. On top of that, the food was very good. Everything from fried calamari to pasta with meatballs, ahi tuna with chips and even salmon with veggies all for that same price. It is true.
Make sure to arrive early or expect to wait even though the place is very large at the Miracle Mile Shops. https://www.miraclemileshopslv.com/mall-directory/ocean-one-bar-and-grille/
Rollin Smoke BBQ-
Located right off the strip, this joint serves up the best BBQ we have ever had in Vegas. From ribs to chicken to other meats, side dishes extreme, you will be fully satisfied. There is no love more heartfelt than the love for food. Here at Rollin Smoke Barbeque we feel the same way.
From our down home country sides, to our fall off the bone hickory smoked barbeque, we pride ourselves in mastering the amazing taste of southern style prepared meals. With two decades of barbeque experience, our father and son team aim to please. We can feed from 10 people to 10,000 people.
