This week’s 5 best bets for dining in Las Vegas

Therapy

It’s a caper movie. No, it’s a lobster salad. And it was created to celebrate the first anniversary of Therapy at 518 E. Fremont St. The Oceans Eleven Lobster Salad is one of several dishes and cocktails Therapy staff dreamed up to mark the anniversary, the latter including Fly Me to the Moon and a Mango Rickey. Call 702-912-1622 or visit www.therapylv.com.

Tail & Fin

A new sushi burrito spot has opened to represent this growing but still underrepresented niche in Las Vegas.

Maryland Parkway; call 702-854-9908.
