Las Vegas is world-renowned as an adult and family playground, producing everything from larger-than-life theatrical productions, concerts by the largest stars in the stratosphere, unparalleled gambling and world-class golf at courses like the TPC at the Canyons, Sienna and the Wynn Golf & Country Club. Las Vegas is one of the most popular vacation destinations in America. This desert oasis is now a fine dining capital as well, since virtually all the biggest hotel-casinos offer top-tier dining experiences.
Picasso
The French cuisine created by Chef Julian Serrano at the AAA Five-Diamond restaurant Picasso is considered among the best in the city and perhaps the world. Selections on the menu take their inspiration from French and Spanish regional cuisine where artist Pablo Picasso spent most of his life.
The contemporary design of this restaurant's interior is colored by Picasso's influence and the wine cellar catalogs more than 1,500 bottles that are among the finest brands in Europe. Actual Picasso masterpieces adorn every wall and surface in the dining room, which is located in the Bellagio.
