In less than six months, chef McClain of Sage has established himself as a man to watch. Just two months after opening, Sage was named a semifinalist for the Best New Restaurant James Beard Award. If that was Beard’s way of saying, “Welcome to Vegas,” this is ours. At Aria, Monday-Saturday, 5 p.m.-11 p.m. (877) 230-2742.

Sage
Sage, easily one of the best restaurants in the city, is certainly the best experience in Aria and the one thing you will hate yourself for missing if you never visit CityCenter. San Diego native chef Shawn McClain has created a venue for highly sophisticated, contemporary American food with an eye on sustainable, farm-fresh ingredients in his restaurant.
"It brings a very forward-thinking, ingredient-driven approach to Vegas fine dining," says Brock Radke, Las Vegas Weekly's restaurant reviewer. Radke named Sage to the No. 11 spot on his list of the 20 most important restaurants in Las Vegas.
