Late night, on the patio at La Cave at Wynn Las Vegas, a few glasses of wine, a few friends, laughing a tiny bit too much and some flatbread, some beets and a little too much Salami, Salumi, Coppa, Jamon, Sopressata, etc. Do you see where I'm going with this?

If you find yourself at a loss for where to spend your lunch in Las Vegas there is very little reason for you to not attempt a visit to Simon Restaurant at Palms Place.

The Venetian Food COurt is arguably the best food court in Las Vegas and you won't find the generic food court option here.
