Las Vegas, a city that never sleeps, is known for its glittering lights, thrilling entertainment, and luxurious accommodations. Resorts World Las Vegas has taken the Vegas experience to a whole new level, far surpassing the traditional expectations one might have of the iconic Hilton brand. FINE Magazine had the privilege of staying at this extraordinary resort, and we're here to tell you that this is definitely not your parent's Hilton.

From savory Asian delicacies to classic American fare, The District caters to every palate, ensuring that your culinary journey is as exciting as the city itself.
For those with a penchant for a more laid-back dining experience, Resorts World Las Vegas presents "Street Eats" – a distinctive culinary adventure unlike any other on the Strip.

Wally's is Where Wine Meets Market Cuisine
As we strolled through The District, checking out menus and atmosphere, we were drawn to Wally's Wine & Spirits as it carves out a niche that transcends the traditional dining experience. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a gastronomic journey that marries the world of fine wines with market-inspired cuisine. Wally's, renowned for its vast selection of wines, spirits, and gourmet food, offers guests an unparalleled opportunity to explore flavors in a way that's both sophisticated and accessible.
We were intrigued by their ‘family style’ dining setup of communal tables, where upon stepping into Wally's, one is greeted by an atmosphere that elegantly blends the warmth of a wine cellar with the vibrancy of a bustling market. The space is designed to invite exploration, from the meticulously curated shelves of rare and vintage wines to the display of artisanal cheeses and charcuterie. The concept is simple yet revolutionary: to provide a place where food and wine enthusiasts can gather, taste, and celebrate the finest products from around the globe.
What truly sets Wally's apart is its commitment to creating a communal and educational dining experience. Guests are encouraged to engage with other guests or the knowledgeable staff, ask questions, and discover new favorites among the thousands of wine labels. With over 8000 bottles of wine, the restaurant frequently hosts wine tastings and special events, offering both novices and connoisseurs alike the chance to deepen their appreciation for wine and its intricate relationship with food. Adding to the charm and expertise of Wally's, we had the pleasure of interacting with Mercedes, the restaurant manager, who has been with Wally's since its inception here at Resorts World. Her helpfulness and knowledge significantly enhanced our dining experience, guiding us through the vast wine selections and pairing recommendations with ease. Our waitress, Jessica, shared fascinating insights about Wally's history, adding layers of depth to our appreciation of this unique establishment. Their passion and expertise are integral to the Wally's experience, making every visit not just a meal, but a memorable journey through the world of wine and market cuisine.
The menu at Wally's is a testament to culinary excellence, crafted by Executive Chef Nate McCoy to complement the extensive wine selection. Each dish, from the starters to the desserts, is conceived with wine pairing in mind, ensuring a harmonious dining experience. Our dining adventure began with a Spicy Salami Pizza, where the chili roasted salami paired nicely with the rest of the flavors, creating a delightful spicy kick that set the tone for the evening. The Truffle Veal Ragu was a masterpiece of balance, with the truffle flavor blending well without overwhelming the delicate taste of the veal. For the main course, the Waygu NY Strip Steak, accompanied by perfectly fried potatoes and a rich au jus sauce, was nothing short of perfection, satisfying our craving for a substantial, flavorful dish. The meal concluded on a refreshing note with Sorbets; the Pineapple Passion Fruit and Lemon flavors were a bright and zesty end to a fantastic meal. Whether you're indulging in the signature cheese and charcuterie boards, savoring the exquisite entrees, or treating yourself to the decadent desserts, Wally's promises a culinary adventure that's as enriching as it is delicious.
