Sparrow + Wolf
Sparrow + Wolf is the vision of owner and executive chef Brian Howard, a Michigan native with over nineteen years of experience in Las Vegas casino’s fine dining restaurants. Opened in 2017, Sparrow + Wolf is one of the most sought after dining experiences on or off the Strip.

Previously inspired by Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, for example, dishes on the menu currently take their cues from the flavors and spices of Mexico and Latin America.

And did I mention there are mermaids – real mermaids? Watch them swim with the fishes three times daily Thursday through Sunday. In addition, you can catch the stingray and fish feeding shows twice daily.
