If your a Las Vegas local like myself and don’t have wheels, the most frustrating thing is finding a good place to eat close by, but NOT on the Las Vegas Strip. Convenience is a giant factor when your looking to eat good food, but in this particular situation I will hand glide to get there if I have to.
There is a place in Las Vegas called Firefly, it’s a Tapas or as my bro pronounces it because he has an F’ed up English and American accent, Tap Ass. My girlfriend has taken me here several times, and last night we wanted to take my bro out for dinner not on the strip and this place fit the bill perfectly.
Even though it’s casual dining and they have two locations in Las Vegas, One on Paradise and the other on the West side on W Sahara, it’s nearly impossible to get a reservation and if you do, don’t be more than 15 mins late or they will give away your reservation to some other foodie fiend.
The place is casual and dark, but screams character for days. Even though it’s loud and the table’s are quite close together and you can’t hear your own thoughts sometimes, that all goes out the window as soon as you take a sip of arguably the best red wine sangria I have ever tasted. All your pressures stresses and worries for the time your there, seem to dissipate because of the infectious ambiance, the food and your third pitcher of sangria.
Since Tapas calls for Spanish style small plates, it’s easy and fun to share what Firefly has to offer with their extensive menu, whether it’s their stuffed dates which are wrapped in bacon and goat cheese, to their sizzling shrimp in a lemon garlic butter sauce, to their spicy lamb sausage, you are guaranteed to have a great meal and leave completely satisfied.

The best part about Firefly is that it’s extremely well priced. You can literally have almost everything on the menu and drink a shit load of sangria for almost $30 dollars a person with tip.
With a menu to die for, two locations in Vegas off of the strip, a great atmosphere that’s casual comfortable and relaxing, the best sangria in town, and incredibly well priced. Firefly is definitely one of the best restaurants off of the Las Vegas strip!
