Some say May brings flowers, but for food lovers, it delivers three delicious reasons to celebrate: Cinco de Mayo (May 5), Mother’s Day (May 11), and Memorial Day (May 26). Here’s where to eat, drink, and toast the month in style.
For your three amigos:
Head to Chica at The Venetian, where Chef Lorena Garcia serves up a vibrant menu inspired by Mexico’s diverse regional cuisines—think Tijuana, Oaxaca, Ensenada, Nayarit, Veracruz, Yucatán, and Mexico City. While Cinco de Mayo may be more about margaritas than Mexican independence (especially in the U.S.), Chica keeps it authentic. Try the Oaxacan Rotisserie Chicken paired with a Jalisco Old Fashioned—a bold blend of tequila, mezcal, agave, and chocolate bitters. chicarestaurant.com
For the magical woman you call Mom:
Treat her to the just-launched high tea experience at Peacock Alley on the 23rd floor of the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas. She’ll adore dainty tea sandwiches, scones, and pastries served on elegant, tiered trays, alongside a cup of signature blend tea—either the floral Showgirl or herbal Meadows—pinky up, of course. hilton.com
For you (and your sun-loving crew):
Celebrate Memorial Day weekend with al fresco dining at La Côte, the French-Mediterranean restaurant at the Fontainebleau’s six-acre Oasis Pool. Go for the three-course prix fixe lunch featuring choices like Caesar Salad or Ahi Tuna Tartare, Egyptian Falafel, Grilled Chicken Club, or Chicken Milanese, and Baklava to finish on a sweet note. fontainebleau.com
