Restaurant guides typically give readers a singular viewpoint. Eating Las Vegas triples the ante, offering reviews from three local food critics who hail from completely different generations, backgrounds, lifestyles and tastes--and who usually disagree on the merits of any particular restaurant. After countless arguments over lunch, Las Vegas' best-known dining writers accomplished the impossible and came up with a list of the eateries all three could happily recommend. In Eating Las Vegas, John Curtas, Max Jacobson, and Al Mancini spotlight the 50 restaurants they could all agree are essential stops for foodies, visitors, and locals seeking an unforgettable meal in the city that boasts more than 2,000 places for eating out. With reviews ranging from some of the Strip's most lavish dining rooms to hole-in-the-wall ethnic gems, this groundbreaking food guide propels readers to the dizzy heights of culinary nirvana. And once you've made your way through all 50, you can truly say you've "eaten Las Vegas." As added bonuses, Eating Las Vegas features lists of the best restaurants in a dozen categories and a special veto section, including some of the restaurants prized by one critic and rejected by the others, over which the authors engaged in their most heated disagreements.
