Eating Las Vegas 2013: The 50 Essential Restaurants

The 2013 edition of our acclaimed food guide, Eating Las Vegas: The 50 Essential Restaurants features all the elements -- fully updated -- that have made the ELV brand such a success, including the Top Ten and 40 best-of-the-rest picks from the city's top-three (and ever-feisty) food critics, to make up the list of the "50 Essential" restaurants in Las Vegas.

With each year this unique guide keeps getting bigger and better! While still in handy pocket-sized format, we've expanded the popular Vetoes section and for the first time added Best Buffets to the Additional Recommendations, where the authors have also expanded many of the other "Best of" lists to reflect the city's ever-increasing array of enticing eateries, from bakeries to sushi restaurants. There are some big changes at the top, too, including three all-new entries in the Top Ten, so this restaurant roadmap truly never gets stale.

From the 5-Star Robuchons, to ethnic hole-in-the-walls you've never heard of, Eating Las Vegas now has close to 200 restaurants and bars, with tempting options for every taste and wallet, plus mouth-watering full-color photographs througout, just in case you needed any additional convincing. It's a must-have pocket companion for anyone ever planning to eat a meal in Las Vegas -- whether you're in the market for a quick snack or a 12-course chef's tasting menu.
