Go alfresco for dishes such as tomato burrata salad with grilled stone fruit ($21), broiled or pan-seared branzino with golden raisin agrodolce ($48), filet mignon au poivre flambéed with Frey Ranch whiskey of Northern Nevada ($95), and made-to-order chocolate or Grand Marnier soufflés ($23).

Thursdays on the patio are Cut-n-Light Night, when cigar aficionados may smoke while enjoying drinks or dishes. Thursdays also feature live jazz from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.; the music is piped throughout the restaurant and patio.

Mae Daly’s, 2211 Las Vegas Blvd. South, across from The Strat, is owned by Richard Femenella, a longtime Vegas hospitality executive.
