New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas isn’t just about popping bottles and watching fireworks. Most restaurants on and off the Strip are welcoming 2013 with special menus. Here are just a few good options:

Summerlin’s new hot spot Honey Salt (1031 S. Rampart Blvd., 445-6100) celebrates its first New Year’s Eve with a prix-fixe menu that includes an iced seafood platter, Perigord winter truffle risotto, roasted Alaskan halibut and a dark chocolate-pink peppercorn dessert. Seating begins at 9 p.m. and costs $135, and the restaurant will be open and serving an a la carte menu before 9 p.m.

Hungry for steak but not Strip craziness? Twin Creeks Steakhouse (Silverton, 263-7777) serves its regular menu from 5 to 11 p.m., plus special three- ($52) or five-course ($75) meals featuring seafood risotto, Maine lobster and a grilled bone-in filet with king trumpet mushrooms and blue cheese potato puree.

Comme Ça (Cosmopolitan, 698-7910) offers two menus at two times. The first seating (5-7 p.m., $95) has four courses including langoustines, veal sweetbreads and poached lobster, while the second seating (8-10:30 p.m., $195) boasts six courses, adding roasted rabbit and filet of beef. Both menus have optional wine pairings, too, natch.

Social House (Crystals at CityCenter, 736-1122) presents an extensive premier chef tasting menu ($125) including scallop and caviar sashimi, an oyster trio and Black Angus petite tenderloin. A la carte items also are available.

For a more casual approach, the sports bar-ish Public House (Luxor, 262-4525) cooks up three courses for $50, including butternut squash soup, seared sea scallops and a petit filet with black tiger prawns. From 9 p.m. to midnight, tack on $60 for premium bar access, hors d’oeuvres and a champagne toast.
