Italy meets Spain meets California cuisine, and the night life of each is well represented. This is the best way to describe what you will find when you enter Silverado Ranch’s newest addition to its restaurant family.

Ristorante E also known as R.E. is located at 467 E. Silverado Ranch Blvd in South Las Vegas, just down the road from Anthem and Seven Hills, and just minutes away from nearly every corner of Las Vegas with the new I-15 Silverado Ranch exit.

Opening early September R.E. will take the experience of Spanish Tapas dining to a new level in Las Vegas with its simple yet contemporary atmosphere and décor, along with its amazing fusion inspired menu.

The lounge at R.E. will offer those who prefer a later dining experience an opportunity to eat and drink in a casual upbeat setting. R.E. offers the people of Las Vegas and opportunity to dine and enjoy good music away from the chaos of the strip. R.E. is definitely geared toward the locals. Offering lunch and dinner as well as late night dining R.E. will offer a twist off the classic tapas experience. Combing dishes of Italy and Spain with flavors throughout the world, in a tapas style setting, individuals will have an opportunity to try multiple textures and flavors in one sitting instead of being locked into one selection. From chianti braised osso buco, and honey balsamic glazed costolette dim aisle (single cut baby back ribs), to apple-wood smoked chicken sausage ravioli, and tandoori calamari fritti.

R.E. offers a unique experience for diners, one that rivals that of the best restaurants in the country without the pricetag. If you are looking for something different, something exciting, entertaining, and elegant join us at R.E.

BOSTON, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Original art is an investment. Like a fine wine or a choice piece of real estate, it nearly effortlessly appreciates with time. Not quite so easy, however, is trekking from gallery to gallery in search of an original piece that speaks to you, illustrates your personality, and complements your home or office. Albeit enriching and exciting, looking for original art is often time-consuming and even costly - two reasons why a unique online art gallery, BeautifulRealArt.com (http://www.beautifulrealart.com/), is bringing that experience directly to the art patron and making the search for fine art more rewarding than ever.

"Simply by browsing through BeautifulRealArt.com, you can explore many fine works of art from around the world," says Rand Hill, BeautifulRealArt.com's owner and operator.

This ensures that what we're providing is totally unique and of the utmost quality, which is key for anyone seeking to acquire such an asset."

The virtual gallery of BeautifulRealArt.com features a diverse array of handcrafted pieces, from paintings and photography to sculptures and pottery.

Unlike most online galleries, BeautifulRealArt.com owns and stocks all the original art it sells, eliminating the need for buyers to contact artists directly.
