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. Yet, after countless arguments over lunches and dinners all around town, Las Vegas' best-known dining writers accomplished the impossible and came up with a list of the eateries all three could confidently recommend. Now in its fourth year, Eating Las Vegas has become the premier source for Las Vegas dining information. The 2016 edition features an expanded section of quick-reference lists highlighting the city's best bets for pizza, steakhouses, cocktails, cheap eats, late-night dining, buffets and more. The dreaded and much-debated Veto section returns with more fiery arguments for and against the eateries that came within a vote of being included in the Essential 50. With reviews of restaurants ranging from some of the Strip's most lavish dining rooms to hole-in-the-wall ethnic gems, Eating Las Vegas puts the city's entire extraordinary dining experience on your plate.
