It's the most wonderful month of the year - National Pasta and Pizza Month! A whole month in October dedicated to giving love to the world's greatest noodle and dough creations. Here are some of the best ways to indulge in these carb-tastic holidays at Grand Canal Shoppes, Fashion Show Las Vegas, Red Rock Resort & Spa, Palace Station, Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa & Casino and Sunset Station that you knead-to-know about.

Buddy V’s Ristorante

TLC’s “Cake Boss” star, Buddy Valastro has made his way from New Jersey to Las Vegas, to bring you Buddy V’s Ristorante at the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian. Featuring casual dining amid an upscale, Italian decor, this classic Vegas restaurant features all of your favorites including Lisa V’s Linguine & White Clam Sauce, Cheese Ravioli, artisan style pizzas, Linguine Carbonara, and more.

sixth + mill Ristorante, Pizzeria and Bar

sixth + mill serves the best of both worlds—pizza and pasta in St. Mark’s Square at the Grand Canal Shoppes. The menu features hand-crafted Neapolitan style pizzas, traditional wheat pastas, and tomatoes chosen with purpose. They use three varieties of tomatoes for their pizza sauce; one for sweetness, one for tanginess, and one for consistency. Two pizza ovens flown in from Italy achieve the best airy and chewy crust. Get your pasta fix with ravioli with semi-soft fresh cheese, lemon cream, and mint oil.

Grimaldi’s Coal Brick-Oven Pizzeria 

In the world of pizza, Grimaldi’s is an institution that has garnered more awards than any other pizzeria in the country with more celebrity sightings than most 5-star restaurants. Using only the freshest ingredients, a “secret recipe” pizza sauce, handmade mozzarella cheese and dough, Grimaldi’s serves traditional pizza (as it began in Naples, Italy) in an upscale yet casual, family oriented pizzeria.

Trattoria Reggiano

Trattoria Reggiano honors family, friends and the traditional Italian feast. Food is prepared with love from the farm to table, where guests are treated to a true Italian experience in a traditional Italian street-side Trattoria setting. Trattoria Reggiano features authentic Italian hand-tossed, brick-oven pizzas made with the finest of fixings.

Osteria Fiorella 

From pop-up restaurant to a permanent residence at Red Rock Casino in just under two months, celebrated James Beard award-winning chef Marc Vetri’s overnight sensation Osteria Fiorella offers an expanded version of his wildly popular Philly pasta bar Fiorella. The casual restaurant features Antipasti and Salads, Pizzas made in a wood burning oven, daily hand-made pastas, meat and fish cooked to perfection in a Josper charcoal oven and of course dessert, wine and cocktails. The restaurant space lends itself perfectly to the Vetri culinary residency with its casual and warm atmosphere, lively bar, beautiful outdoor patio and open kitchen concept.

8 Noodle Bar 

Another great option for National Noodle Day on Oct, 6,  8 Noodle Bar features a menu that combines Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai cuisines—with an emphasis on rich broths and authentic rice and noodle bowls. With fresh ingredients and authentic preparations—and an energetic space that boasts a streamlined aesthetic—it’s no wonder locals rank 8 Noodle Bar among the best Asian restaurants in Las Vegas
