Blue Ribbon

Rolls at $9 a piece in a room that also runs a beer garden — Blue Ribbon’s Social Hour is the kind of deal locals don’t post about because they don’t want it crowded. Happy Hour, also called Social Hour, runs every day until 6 PM at Red Rock Casino.

Order This: a glass of Pinot Noir $10 and a Wagyu Beef Skewer $9 during Social Hour — reviewers call it a real deal that isn’t cut-rate the rest of the day. Try the Salmon Avocado Roll $9 if you want something not too spicy.

Blue Ribbon built its name in New York decades ago, and the Red Rock outpost brings that same kitchen discipline to Summerlin without Strip pricing or Strip lines. It’s proof that you don’t need a resort corridor address to get serious sushi — you just need to know which locals casino has the sushi bar worth driving to. Go before 6 PM and you’ll beat both the wait and the bill.

Dress is business casual / polished casual — leave the gym clothes at home. No reservation required, but seating includes the sushi bar, cocktail bar, dining room and the outdoor Kanpai Beer Garden, so ask for what you want when you walk in.
