Nomad Library never disappoints! I recommend to everyone that visits Las Vegas and I make sure to book at least one reservation here yearly when I attend CES.

Great place to eat. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary. We each got the 3 course meal. The butternut Squash soup, beef Wellington, and the sticky toffee pudding were the best I’ve ever had! Hands down. Gordan Ramsey’s kitchen is phenomenal. Dennis was our server and was great. They even put candles on our desert. Simply amazing. Highly recommend!! The entire staff was great

Got possessed by a craving for the octopus dish I had seen another order on my last visit, so booked dinner. Sat at the bar per usual and tried all new menu items to me. Drink- •How 'bout Them Apples ($17): Fresh-from-the tree sour apple, sharp and earthy. Wonderfully evocative creation from Guillermo (Tito). •Kaiju Amiga ($15): Very balanced between nutty sweetness and tang. •Clearly ($16): Like being on a breezy Caribbean beach, sunny, salty, citrusy. •Desparada "Saturn Return" 2022 Red Blend ($20): Very good pour. Food- Foie Gras ($25): Several-forkfuls portion of the rich fatty organ, accompanied by a thin eggroll spear. Very nutty, sweet, and crisp. Spanish Octopus ($24): About 10 octopus chunks, nicely charred outside the tender meat. Plentiful firm risotto grains, al dente and mildly salty (squid ink). Listed with a fire symbol on the menu; accurate. Chili quite prominent, asked for some bread ($2) to absorb and deaden some of the heat. Spiced and spicy. Value: Most excellent for the alcohol. Undecided about the food; liked what I had, still feeling the heat. Atmosphere: Surprisingly quiet at first, but noise level rose to its usual loud magnitude as the customers poured in. Service: Exceptional and attentive!

Solid breakfast and brunch spot for reasonable Vegas prices
