5 spots for a meal in Las Vegas this week
Anniversary celebration
Sake Rok at The Park is celebrating its first anniversary with a new menu of dishes (small plates, sushi and cooked entrees, including vegan options) and cocktails. Among them are desserts such as Sata Andagi Japanese doughnuts, shown, Japanese Cotton Cheesecake with berry compote and Sumo Honey Toast, which is four times the size of the regular honey toast and served with mochi.
Eat well, do good
More than two dozen Southern Nevada restaurants are involved in Chow Down for Caps & Gowns on Tuesday, with a portion of the day’s proceeds donated to Communities in Schools to help at-risk students with graduation costs. For a list of participating restaurants, go to www.cisnevada.org.

On the menu: Norwegian sausages wrapped in lefse, heart-shaped Scandinavian waffles, plus all-American baked beans and cole slaw.

The spirit of Cinco de Mayo will continue with a tequila-pairing dinner at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at El Segundo Sol at the Fashion Show Mall. The six-course dinner is $60; call 702-258-1211.
