Enjoy a fabulous lunchtime three-course tasting menu at Buddy V's in The Venetian Las Vegas. This dynamic menu brings flavors inspired by Buddy Valastro, best known for TLC's Cake Boss. Originally from New Jersey, Valastro was influenced by his large family gatherings and introduced his Las Vegas casual Italian restaurant featuring beloved family recipes. The menu includes some of his favorite cuisines, including Grandma's Meatballs, My Wife's Eggplant Parm, Grilled Salmon, and Shrimp Scampi. For dessert, guests will choose between Buddy V's famous Cannoli or the daily chef-selected dessert.
After lunch, enjoy the many sights of the Las Vegas Strip before you prepare for your nighttime adventure. You will be picked up from your hotel by a vehicle and taken to our VIP Las Vegas helicopter terminal before boarding your helicopter. The spectacular night flight over the Las Vegas Strip will leave you in awe of the lights and sights as you fly over landmarks such as the fountains of Bellagio, the Eiffel Tower of Paris casino, the clock tower in St. Mark's Square of the Venetian Hotel, the Luxor Hotel pyramid and space beam, New York-New York Hotel & Casino skyline, The Strat, the colorful and historic Downtown Las Vegas and more.
