Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Open Bar opens a new location in Las Vegas! This is the second location for the popular Spanish kitchen and bar.
The first location can be found in the Southwest part of Vegas at 7355 S. Buffalo Dr. The popular Friday Latin Nights hotspot recently moved off of Paradise but don't worry, it's right down the street.
A rep on their Instagram confirmed that, "we will definitely be bringing it back soon!"
The new spacious location features two rooms with plenty of seating to go around. The smaller of the two rooms is their Instagram-able "pink" room which features yellow chairs and a giant gold chandelier. Simply elegant.
The outdoor eating area is heated which is nice because we know Vegas weather can be unpredictable.

8 Best Mexican Restaurants In East Las Vegas
East Las Vegas is a central hub for all things flavor. If you live in the 89101, 89015, 89121 or anywhere around that area you know what we're talking about.
Summerlin is cool and Henderson is nice but East Las Vegas is really where heart, love and soul come into play. Many outsiders see run down streets and old buildings but behind the cosmetic imperfections lives a part of the city that thrives on culture. A large part of the Latin X community live on the east side which sources family recipes and hidden gems.
The restaurants in the area know how to cook up a mean plate of food. From carnitas tacos, flautas el paso, carne asada and some of the most refreshing aguas frescas. What's also impressive is the amount of food that these restaurants serve. They don't skimp on the meats or sides.
Not all but many of the restaurants stay open late catering for those night time hunger cravings. Check local listing times for any updates or changes.
Customers are valued which is why these restaurants stay in business and have continued their success on the east side. We also want to mention that many of the places listed are fair with their prices. It won't cost a whole pay check to eat at any of these restaurants.
