Maybe it’s been a while since you’ve indulged in this salt-cured delicacy from foreign seas. As always, you have options. You can go the obviously wonderful route at Caviar Bar (Resorts World, caviarbarlv.com), Michelin starred chef Shaun Hergatt’s fancy coastal cuisine lounge that just added new menu items, including a Maine lobster roll on brioche ($28), Dover sole with citrus relish ($89) and Hudson Valley foie gras with strawberry white balsamic dressing ($29). The premium Caspy Caviar service is second to none if you prefer the traditional style, but it’s equally entertaining to see how Hergatt pairs the roe with other ingredients in innovative dishes like Wagyu toast ($36) and Tasmanian ocean trout with calamansi ($26). Cocktail Hour starts at 5:30 p.m. at the bar only, where you can check out bite-sized options of the restaurant’s most popular dishes along with specialty drinks, Champagne and ... more caviar.
You could also return to longtime Strip standard at Petrossian Bar (Bellagio, bellagio.mgmresorts.com), refreshed by a 2019 renovation with a new caviar menu unveiled last year. Caviar tacos ($19) with hamachi, lemon and chives, and the dark chocolate dessert ($55) with lemon gelee “caviar” pearls are must-try items, and the uber-fancy cocktails offer a fun variation on the typical pairing for your briny bites.
You could also stroll across the street and pair your caviar with some truly magical Vegas views at Eiffel Tower Restaurant (Paris, eiffeltowerrestaurant.com), which just fashioned a new experience featuring six different caviars in six different composed dishes. Prices vary depending on your selections, but the menu shines a light on three imported Osetra sturgeon caviars and three domestics from Hackleback sturgeon, Alaskan salmon and golden whitefish. Dishes include Oysters a la Royal ($79), steak tartare ($64) and the luscious Caviar Napoleon with smoked salmon and crème fraîche ($120). Going over the top never tasted better.
