Food Las Vegas Style

Those who go to Vegas frequently for industry conferences know that its not the city it was ten'ish years ago, when we were all hard pressed to find a decent restaurant with a fabulous chef. Today, the MGM, Palms, Bellagio, Venetian and others have upped the standards. Emerils has had a restaurant there for awhile now, although most say better to skip the Vegas experience.

Of those I have tried in the past, Bouchon, Joel Robuchon, L'atelier, Eiffel Tower Restaurant (the view is amazing), Postrio and Spagos are worth a shot. Then there are well known chains, such as Wolfgang Puck's restaurant in the MGM and P.F. Changs at Planet Hollywood.

This year, I had sea bass that melted in my mouth at Tao Asian Bistro (its where Dow Jones held their party this year), and at MGM Grand's Nob Hill where I had dinner with the B5 Media crowd. They had Kistler on the menu as well as an amazing 97 Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Below a few dishes from Nob Hill to give you a taste.

On the last day, I had an amazing meal with a couple of press buddies at David Burke. This guy really cares about presentation, even down to his dessert menu. Below, check out his infamous cheesecake lollipop tree.
