Beso, the Spanish word for kiss, combines Eva Longoria's Latin heritage and her passion for cooking. The result is an array of memorable dishes, from flavorful, tender cuts of aged beef to an assortment of fresh ceviche selections. Like her popular original Beso in Hollywood, the Las Vegas interpretation pairs delicious fare with impeccable service and a luxuriously hip ambience; a can't-miss combination for the A-List.

Deep chocolate browns and rich gold finishes envelope Beso's 6,000-square-foot interior, with a splash of red marking the exhibition kitchen as tribute to the brand's signature kiss. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase CityCenter's striking architecture with premium views of the ARIA fountains. Beso's intimate patio is situated on a bustling corner of Crystals overlooking the ARIA porte cochere, offering outdoor dining year round. The chic lounge brings forth a vivacious mix-and-mingle atmosphere â€" a premium location to enjoy before-dinner drinks or sip cocktails before guests make their way up to Eve nightclub.

Beso was designed and developed to meet LEED certifications sought throughout CityCenter. Recycled materials and eco-friendly upgrades were incorporated into the overall design and construction of the restaurant, creating a beautifully-designed, sustainable restaurant. Sustainable features include Beso's custom-designed crystal chandeliers handmade reusing the Swarovski Crystal curtain featured at the 2009 Academy Awards, hardwood floors made from raw materials acquired through ecologically well-managed forests, and a $350,000 upgraded stove hood to filter volatile kitchen compounds and uphold clean air standards.

Actress, entrepreneur, and activist, "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria pours her time, energy and heart into numerous philanthropic endeavors that are making a difference in the world around us. Longoria, founder of Eva's Heroes, which provides an after school program for individuals with developmental disabilities, is also the national spokesperson for Padres Contra el Cancer, which helps Latino families who have children with cancer by providing them with educational, financial, and language resources.

The face for L'Oreal, and the executive producer and host for the National Council of La Raza ALMA Awards, Eva is producing her first documentary HARVEST. HARVEST brings the struggles of the estimated 500,000 mostly Latino children who work in this country's fields - unprotected by the Fair Labor Standards Act because they are farm workers - out of the shadows.

Eva is involved with the United Farm Workers, the Dolores Huerta Foundation, the Mexican American Legal Defense, and Education Fund, and works to bring attention to important issues such as voter registration and the census. Longoria is the owner of BESO restaurants, a production company, UnbeliEVAble Productions, and an eco-friendly development firm, The GreenVille Project.
