Las Vegas Uncork'd



The Guardian reviews restaurants in Las Vegas.

Article: Dining in Vegas's gilded cage


And if the restaurants are pulling out the stops to get your custom (they've just this month announced "date nites" with $40 menu deals at Charlie Trotter's, Wolfgang Puck's and Mario Batali's), that doesn't touch what the troubled hotels will pull to bring you in - there were "pay the temperature" deals recently. So, if it's ever appealed, this is the time to go. And if it hasn't, and you're fond of food, perhaps it should, as I discovered on a whirlwind tour of some of the top spots participating in [the annual food festival] Vegas Uncork'd.

In preparation, I had asked the two greediest men I know where to seek out something a bit less Michelin and was advised by belly number one, Jay Rayner to visit a crumbling strip joint to try Lotus of Siam, which does sound bloody good (I think you can probably read more about that in some book he's punting), while mouth number two, Simon Majumdar, recommended Rosemary's. I didn't make either and it's been haunting me ever since, as they both look well worth the effort.

Entertainment has always been the toast of the town in Las Vegas—that is, at least, until today’s hottest chefs stormed the city just a few years ago. Now, the Vegas fine dining scene rivals that of any other major metropolitan city in the world and provides just as much reason to visit the desert oasis as taking in a great headliner or the scintillating nightlife.
