People say that everything is “larger than life” in Las Vegas, said Nina Elder in Bon Appétit. That certainly goes for the meals, now the priciest on average of any U.S. city. But that’s okay. Whether your tastes run to steaks and oysters prepared by top-name chefs at the casinos’ glitzy restaurants or to after-hours Chinatown spots popular with the kitchen pros, the food in Sin City today is “more delicious than ever.”
Sage Chef Shawn McClain has brought his Chicago swagger to this new CityCenter restaurant, where hearty “fork-tender braised veal cheeks” share the menu with “light, fresh dishes” like Kusshi oysters with a spicy piquillo-and-Tabasco sorbet. Don’t miss the post-dinner absinthe cart. Aria, 3730 Las Vegas Blvd. S., (877) 230-2742
