Heading there over Xmas. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Phx Food Nerds 1.0 had a great Vegas thread. Heading to Vegas for Dead and Co and wondering what you all like up there these days. So far I have reservations at HaSalon in the Venetian and the obligatory stop at Lotus but still have one dinner and two breakfast/lunches to fill.
