Executive Summary By Tammi Clements
1. Las Vegas has more to offer than just slot machines and roulette wheels. In a city famous for gambling and nighttime entertainment, Las Vegas also has world-class dining. From steaks and chops to seafood and sandwiches, this city offers satisfaction for every palate.
Winning Sandwiches
2. Las Vegas is lucky enough to have two of the best sandwich shops anywhere. The Italian sub is scrumptious beyond words. The clear winner among locals is the "Bobbie" sandwich. This sub consists of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo.
Try the Philly cheese steak or the burnout sandwich, made with pastrami, Swiss cheese, pickles and special sauce.
Steak Lovers
3. If a thick, juicy steak is what you crave, head to Delmonico Steakhouse in the Venetian Hotel and Casino. This restaurant is owned by super-chef Emeril Lagasse, and the dishes boast his signature "essence" flavoring. Other noteworthy options are the Australian lobster tail braised in white wine, and for dessert, the sinfully rich caramel crème brûlée served with gingersnap cookies.
Wonders of Seafood
With an extensive menu, King's Fish House has something for every seafood lover. This place has the best chowder in town, and the wild Ecuadorian mahi mahi is a must.
Ethnic Delights
4. The city's best Mediterranean cuisine is served at Khoury's. Choose from gyros, kabobs and fresh-baked breads with a homemade taste. The General Tso's chicken and sesame chicken have an authentic Asian taste.
All-American Staples
5. What top ten list would be complete without a burger place and a pizza joint? To satisfy your appetite for everyone's favorite food, run to Metro Pizza. This pizzeria has delicious baked pasta, Chicago style pizza, buffalo wings and succulent desserts.
The Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay has the best burgers in town.
