Las Vegas
While Mother Nature originally envisioned vultures circling for scraps in the desert wilds of Nevada, the fantasyland of Las Vegas introduced new feeding ground – and new appetites to boot. In Sin City, where visitors’ whims and wants seemingly have no limit, there is, fittingly, a dish for every wish – be it dining à la française under the Eiffel Tower (at Paris Las Vegas) or savoring alfresco Italian dishes near the waterways of Venice (at The Venetian). Long known for its cheap (if somewhat lacking in the flavor factor) buffets (think $9.99 all you can eat surf-and-turf), Sin City has evolved in recent years to become one of the world’s hottest restaurant cities. New eateries seem to pop up daily here; celebrity chefs are gravitating to luxury resorts; and outposts of popular U.S. restaurants from Bouchon to Nobu flourish. Best bets to indulge in these days? Two upscale eateries enjoying rave reviews include Bellagio’s Picasso, (serving Spanish-inflected New French) and Aureole (with New American fare) at Mandalay Bay. Since buffets are still exceedingly popular, word on the street is that the Bellagio’s is the best in town.
