Celebrity Restaurants in Vegas

In order to compete for the most illustrious restaurant reputation, these hotels regularly court celebrity chefs and encourage them to open restaurants in their casinos. Today, Las Vegas dining is amazingly star-studded, with big names from Bobby Flay to Wolfgang Puck to Emeril Lagasse. And celebrity chefs do attract celebrity diners. If you want to see where the stars dine, check out these picks.
