The Best New Restaurants of 2020 in Las Vegas, According to the Experts Local food writers pick the most impressive newcomers in the city Share this story What newcomer on the scene excited you this year? Scott Roeben, : There were a couple, thankfully. I was pleasantly surprised by Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse at Flamingo, just hit it out of the park, and sad to see they may be struggling because of the lack of convention business. The batch of new restaurants at Circa created some buzz, including my new favorite Las Vegas restaurant, 8 East. Just incredible, and sort of saw it coming having been a fan of Le Thai.
