🚔 Metro is working with ICE now

🔥 Suspect Identified in Church Fire

Investigators suspect a fire at a church near UNLV was caused by arson. The giveaway? A person was seen on the roof setting off the flames — and wound up in the hospital with burn injuries. [KVVU]

👮 Vegas Really Isn’t a Sanctuary City Now

Metro Police are finalizing an agreement with ICE to serve warrants to undocumented immigrants in jail. This should clear up some confusion after Las Vegas was misidentified as a sanctuary city by the Department of Homeland Security. [KSNV]

✍️ Lombardo Busy with Veto Pen

The legislative session is over and Gov. Lombardo is issuing one veto after another, including bills that would expand treatment of transgender prisoners, allow non-citizens to work as peace officers, and ban cleaning products tested on animals. [Nevada Independent]

🥩 VooDoo Steak Back From the Dead

Chef James Trees — one of our favorites around here — is taking over VooDoo Steak, which has ridiculous views of the Strip from the 50th floor of the Rio. The restaurant will be renamed High Steaks Vegas (clever) when it debuts in October. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]

Restaurant Week is not only one of the best things about June in Las Vegas, but also a much-needed fundraiser for Three Square food bank 👍 Dozens of restaurants participate, offering special value-driven prix fixe menus to showcase signature dishes. A few options immediately stand out 👀

🐟 Bjork Caviar, a wholesaler with a sit-down tasting counter in the Arts District, has a three-course menu with its own brand of caviar atop hamachi, linguine, and a white chocolate panna cotta for $100.

🥟 Fugazzeta: Empanadas for an appetizer and dessert with an Argentinian pizza in between? I’m intrigued, especially for $30.

🥨 Millside Tavern in North Las Vegas has a $20 ‼️ lunch with pretzel bites (my weakness) as a choice of appetizer.

🦪 The Oyster Bar: The Sunset Station version of this seafood bar has three courses for $40: oysters and shrimp, a choice of clam chowder, and a plate of rice and beans. It’s weird enough to capture my attention, and I’m always down for Manhattan-style clam chowder, which is hard to find in Vegas.

🍝 The Pasta Shop in Henderson has two dinner options for $40 or $60. Either way, this is one of the most underrated Italian restaurants in the valley — and one that quietly supplies its own house-made pastas to other businesses.

🐠 Zaytinya: $60 for anything by José Andrés is worth it, but four courses at his new Mediterranean restaurant inside the Forum Shops seems like an especially good way to get familiar with the place.

Picks From the Rest of the City Cast Las Vegas Team

🦀 I’m most excited about Weera Thai — I love their OG location, but haven’t tried their Town Square outpost, which specializes in seafood. Sign me up for that crispy soft-shell crab in tamarind sauce! Plus, $30 for a three-course lunch and $50 for a four-course dinner is a steal.

🐮 My pick is Golden Steer. If you've never been, treat yourself to their menu-for-two for $120. The space and the food are a living part of Vegas' history! For dessert, add on something they set on fire for the full experience.

🥑 EDO Tapas is one of my all-time favorite restaurants and Restaurant Week gives me an excellent reason to revisit after far too long away. The $80 dinner is right up my alley. The first two courses include two items each — you don’t have to choose. Hello, jalapeño avocado gazpacho and short-rib taco with sushi rice, nori and gochujang aioli. I'm coming for ya!

📺 I'm surprised to see the new Netflix Bites on the list this year with a decent lunch menu for $40. Might be my excuse to visit this gimmicky restaurant that I wouldn't have otherwise. Also, the $60 dinner menu at Main St. Provisions is an insane deal! Shrimp cocktail, filet mignon, and sticky toffee pudding — sign me up!
