Perhaps because Las Vegas is the most popular vacation and resort destination in the world, it only follows that our visitors expect their meals to be as fabulous as the rest of their vacation. As a result, the cuisine in Vegas has come a long way from our infamous "All you can eat" buffets. Over the past five years , the Valley has seen an explosion of signature restaurants, where world-famous chefs prepare specialities for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike.

Of course, fine dining does not always mean expensive dining. In addition to the gourmet rooms, we have found a number of neighborhood treasures you simply should not miss. So enjoy your exploration of this section -- you may find something new right around the corner.
