Classic dishes to celebrate ten years at Crush

It’s hard to believe the Morton Group’s ultra-cozy Crush has been around for a decade already. In the vast dining landscape that is MGM Grand, this simple yet multifaceted spot stands out by not trying so hard to stand out—it’s a charming, wine-centric escape with a crowd-pleasing menu that feels like a neighborhood restaurant instead of a casino option.

To commemorate its 10 years this month, Crush is bringing back some of its original dishes as a special offering, and every time you order one of them, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to After-School All-Stars Las Vegas, a nonprofit that provides free programming for local students.

Now all you have to do is get there and choose between the sea scallop benedict appetizer ($24) with quail egg, chorizo and chipotle hollandaise; the date and artichoke woodfired pizza with jalapeños and caramelized onions ($24); cavatelli pasta with sausage, fennel, broccolini and rich roasted garlic ($32); or the gigantic two-pound, pepper-crusted bone-in short rib ($45). Or, yeah, nevermind, just bring some friends and order everything.

CRUSH MGM Grand, 702-891-3222, crushmgm.com. Sunday-Thursday, 4:30-9 p.m.; Friday & Saturday, 4:30-9:30 p.m.
