Las Vegas is fast becoming a restaurant mecca.

Known as the place that tries pretty hard to satisfy your every desire, it seems logical that great food mixed with good times would feature strongly on many visitor’s to do lists (in between all the gambling of course!)

It’s come a long way from $1.99 all-you-can-eat buffets, way back when, to the current day when top chefs from all over come to Vegas to battle it out.

Why the desert? Big money. Big opportunity.

Just how seriously do they take it? Sin City has more Master Sommeliers than New York and San Francisco together!

The tide started turning in the early nineties when Wolfgang Puck, Charlie Trotter, Emeril Lagasse and Todd English came to town. Ten years later and the restaurant industry in town had earned its gold stars.

New hot shot chef in town these days is, hush-when-you-talk-about, French chef Guy Savoy of Restaurant Guy Savoy at Caesar’s Palace.

Known as the top restaurant in Vegas at the moment, Savoy’s arrival is rumoured to pull the city into a new culinary league. The restaurant has the same architect who designed parts of the new Louvre and Guy Savoy is marvelled about as one of the original pioneers of Nouvelle Cuisine.

Other topspot is Joël Robuchon Restaurant at the MGM Grand Hotel. Robuchon, known as ‘Chef of the Century’, would win a lifetime achievement award if foodie Oscars existed.
