[nggallery id=760]

If ever there was a restaurant ELV was prepared not to like, it was Nu Sanctuary Lounge.

We’re not going to say much more than the tapas and Spanish desserts pictured above are some of the best food being done in Vegas right now. Best of all, Julian Serrano is open for lunch, where you can graze and indulge to your heart’s content without battling the crowds that flock here at dinner.

And somehow, tapas always seem more correct to us for a mid-day or late night repast anyway.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Btw: JS currently is pouring Jancis Robinson’s La Bota de Manzanilla (only 600 bottles made) — perhaps the best manzanilla sherry in the world — for special customers.

Tell ’em ELV sent ya, and you might get a sip…

Just thought you’d like to know.
