Hats off to the smartly curated Eat Your Heart Out food hall at the new Durango Casino & Resort in Vegas’ booming southwest. Among the 11 choices are eateries from LA (Irv’s Burgers, Uncle Paulie’s sandwich shop) and NYC (Prince St. Pizza), plus outposts of Vegas favorites Shang Artisan Noodle and Yu-Or-Mi Sushi.

For authentic Hawaiian street food, don’t forget Ai Pono Café—a thematically perfect addition since Vegas is regarded as the ninth island of Hawaii (for those who missed that memo).

I immediately spotted the long lines when I stopped at the seriously buzzing Eat Your Heart Out for dinner with friends just before Christmas. We opted for dinner at the Cali-centric Summer House from Santa Monica, with its dreamy earth-toned interior, healthy options, and “sunshine vibes all year round,” minus LA’s traffic-choked freeways.

I made a meal out of two top-shelf starters—the Potato Salad Deviled Eggs and the perfectly spiced Prime Beef Meatballs—and on the way out, bought one of the restaurant’s excellent signature oversized cookies at their cookie bar.
