5 Vegas Restaurants for the Foodie Traveler

There are countless destinations that appeal to foodies but Las Vegas stands out. The Entertainment Capital of the World is quickly emerging as the Foodie Capital of America as it attracts more and more world-class chefs. MGM Resorts International properties along The Strip are where visitors will find many of the city's most delectable restaurants. Here are five that foodies won't want to miss on their next visit to Las Vegas.

James Beard Award-winning Chef Julian Serrano believes that "a good meal is best enjoyed with friends and family" and LAGO is the perfect place to do just that. Overlooking the iconic Bellagio fountains, guests can share a variety of meat, seafood and vegetarian plates while experiencing the restaurant's sophisticated mixology program. Be sure to make reservations for Sunday Brunch to get a taste of the freshly baked pastries and Serrano's Italian twist on classic brunch items.

You might not know that Las Vegas is home to the largest Italian marketplace with restaurants in the world but it's true. Eataly Las Vegas at Park MGM features more than a dozen authentic Italian eateries where diners can treat their taste buds to one of the most comforting cuisines on the planet. Eataly will be open every day during the holiday season and hosts special classes, events and tours so foodies can take their passion and knowledge to the next level.

There aren't many places where foodies can sink their teeth into A5 certified Kobe beef, which is arguably the best beef in the world, but Jean Georges Steakhouse at ARIA Resort & Casino is one of them. This special venue rewards guests with elite quality meats and seafood, including Double Lamb Chops, Bone-In Veal Chop, Caramelized Scallops and Chilean Sea Bass.

If your idea of a mouthwatering day or night out includes freshly made salsas and guacamoles paired with premium tequilas and signature cocktails, look no further than Diablo's Cantina at the Luxor Hotel & Casino, where Executive Chef Saul Ortiz is serving up a unique take on Mexican favorites.

Chow down on some delicious hand-pulled noodles while enjoying a laidback atmosphere at Park MGM's La La Noodle. Start off your visit to this Pan-Asian hotspot with pot stickers, shrimp rolls and bao buns before filling up on flavorful Lo Mein and Dan Dan noodles. This restaurant offers bar, inside and even patio seating depending on your mood.
