Eating Las Vegas 2017 The 50 Essential Restaurants

Restaurant guides typically give readers a singular viewpoint. Eating Las Vegas triples the ante, offering reviews from three respected Las Vegas food critics who hail from completely different backgrounds, lifestyles, and tastes—and who usually disagree on the merits of any particular restaurant.
