Union restaurant in ARIA
I recently met up with my friends and poker buddies Gina and Tom at the new Union restaurant in ARIA at City Center, Las Vegas. They were there playing lots of poker, I was there to finish research on the travel guidebook for Las Vegas.

They have a long list of killer cocktails, which we enjoyed. The 5,828 square foot avant garde dining room was designed by renowned architect Adam Tihany and features a bar, lounge and dining area. Union serves up contemporary American cuisine with a strong emphasis on steaks. We started off by sharing the King Crab Scampi, below.

We all ended up getting the filet mignon which was delicious. It is served with a huge slab of melted butter on top. so if you don’t like all the fat ask them when you order to forego the cholesterol stick.
Yum. Filet with melted butter
I also ordered the All Year Corn, which is fresh corn with shallots, lemon thyme and sweet butter. It was delicious and our fave of the night. Tom and Gina ordered the hash browns with come with carmelized onions, bacon and sour cream, also tasty.

For dessert, we indulged in the warm chocolate cake. Luckily, we split this three ways as it was really rich.

Gina and Tom went back to the tables (and cleaned up) and I went back to Lake Las Vegas where I stayed a few days before heading off to Palazzo. I highly recommend visiting Union if you are in the mood for a great steak. The ambiance is a bit loud, but the steaks, sides and drinks are worth the trip.
