Union
Illmatic American at Aria
3730 Las Vegas Blvd S; 877.230.2742
There was nothing quite like the childhood treehouse: an
adult-free wonderland stocked with candy, BB guns, and
Playboys, which of course you "only read for the cartoons".
Growing that sanctuary right up, only this time allowing
girls: Union.
Just opened at City Center showpiece Aria, the massive Union
is Light Group's newest restaurant, plating contemporary
American in a kind of interstellar-treehouse-looking space
loaded with wood: arching columns reminiscent of tree trunks
shooting up through the ceiling and tables/chairs that look
carved from stumps, all slightly elevated above and offering
a view of the gaming floor, where just like the ones outside
the treehouse, the adults are all stupid. The
jazzed-up-American menu's compliments of Brian Masse, who's
exec chef'd at joints like N9NE, Charlie Palmer Steak, and
the Bellagio's FIX, firing up with apps like king crab &
jalapeno tacos, the Union Signature Crispy Duck (think
Peking style), and crispy veal sliders, whose diminutive
size is absolutely not meant to remind you of the adorable
little animals you're consuming...whoops! Ten premium cuts
of steak range from a porterhouse for two, to Kobe flat
iron, to bone-in filet mignon, any of which can be paired
with six different sauces (truffle Hollandaise, creamy
horseradish, classic Bordelaise...); beyond beef, there's
goodness like a double-cut pork chop, a whopping 2lb. Maine
Lobster, and Chilean sea bass, who is big and scary, but was
easily tricked into buying rounds of boilermakers in the
comedy classic Dumb y Mas Dumb.
Since every treehouse needs some booze, Union's mixing
cocktails like the Calm Before the Storm (Bombay, creme de
cassis, lime juice, ginger beer), the Las Vegan (Bulleit
Bourbon, grapefruit, lemon juice, Peychaud's bitters, flamed
grapefruit peel) and the Fresno chile/Patron Silver/lime
juice/passion fruit puree/cinnamon sugar Heat of the Moment,
which you got caught in that one time, as you explained that
you were just getting Milky Way off your zipper, and get
out, Mom!
