Eva Longoria-Parker is planning to open a new Beso restaurant in Las Vegas. The "Desperate Housewives" actress-turned-restaurateur will unveil the new branch of her popular Hollywood-based Mexican eatery - a favorite with celebrities - on New Year's Eve 2010.

Eva said: "Vegas has the most energy in the world. It's a foodie city, which is great for us because of our menu."

"Everything we offer is pretty unique. Nobody in Vegas has anything similar. I'm a big fan of the art of cuisine. I love to cook and I love to entertain, so I feel like this is just an extension of me."

While the menu will be the same as the original Beso, Eva revealed there will be drinks and special dishes inspired by the U.S. gambling capital, as well as an upstairs lounge called "Eve."

Eva, 34, is also planning to expand her business further with a chain of Besitos - mini-versions of her restaurants - in airports.

She added: "We just signed the contract for the first airport and it's in Los Angeles so we're really excited."

Describing Beso as like her second home, Eva also revealed her husband, basketball player Tony Parker, is a big fan of the food.

She said: "Tony would eat there morning, noon and night if it was open! His favorite dishes are the tortilla soup, the chili rub skirt steak and the Vera Cruz corn."
