Th verbena can be found at Chandelier Bar at Cosmopolitan Resort. More specifically, the 1.5 level Lounge at the bar. It’s not on the menu but the experience that this shocking flower drink gets you will have you talking about it all evening. While it is technically a secret item it also is the most popular drink at the Chandelier Bar. What do they say about loose lips?

Executive chef David Walzog makes a decadent affair out of aged Nebraska corn-fed beef at this gem with outdoor dining overlooking the Lake of Dreams at Wynn. Impeccable service is a trademark here. This is one of three places in Las Vegas that serves true Kobe beef.

At Mr. Lucky's inside the Hard Rock Hotel, all you need to do is sign up for the player's card and you get a piece of beef, a few shrimp and some potatoes on the side for $7.77. Now, this special has been available for a long time so it's not that secret at all. However, if you step in to the restaurant in the wee hours of the morning the off the menu item is often a decent prime rib special that is reminiscent of old Vegas.

Even though the Cosmopolitan Resort has been open for a few year s there are still plenty of visitors that do not know that a secret pizza joint exists at the resort. That may be because it still does not exist on their website or on any official publicity material that the resort offers. It exists and in fact they are serious about their pizza. All you have to do is find it.

The meatballs are not on the menu but you’ll hear about them. In other words, this only barely constitutes a secret menu item and that’s a good thing. You see if you have a seat at the bar this is really all you need. A meatball and a glass of wine with some bread for dipping into the red sauce. The meatballs are made with ground beef, pork sausage, and veal and you can be sure that your table captain will tell you all about them after you have done your best investigative work on the menu.

It’s difficult to think that any secrets at Le Cirque would not be common knowledge because the truth is that after you eat there you will tell everyone you know. This is the epitome of fine dining in Las Vegas and your experience will be in the best of the best category. You’ll ask for the surf and turf and just tell the General Manager that you read about it here. Yes, go ahead and drop a name, it’s Vegas, remember? This over-the-top dish utilizes every thing in the kitchen. Expect Japanese wagyu steak covered in perigourdine sauce made from truffles and topped with foie gras and finished with a layer of shaved truffles. The 2-lb. butter-poached Maine lobster tail will round out your meal

It’s tricky to call these duck fat fries a secret item on the menu. You see you can find them on the happy hour menu at the bar and they are addicting. If you really just needed a fix you could get to the bar early and try their Down The Hatch cocktail menu and indulge in some fries. If you need a big meal there is a good chance that these savory potatoes might show up at your table anyway. These heavenly fries are served with garlic-herb oil, sriracha ketchup, and truffle aioli.

Hobak Korean BBQ
When first uncovered last November, South Korea's Hobak company were right on target when they promised a late March opening date for their 3,090-square-foot, grill right at your table, barbecue restaurant.
Located in a corner spot at nondescript business center, the industrial interior has been designed with posters, props and artwork from the ’80s and ’90s and the kitchen areas are hidden behind mock awning-shaded store fronts.
Hobak likes to concentrate on few menu items, serving only beef and pork and concentrating on the quality of the ingredients. Working under the motto, "sharing great things," they encourage groups to enjoy the charcoal and gas cooking experience.
