A host of fine dining and lifestyle magazines – including Bon Appetit, Wine Spectator, Gourmet, Robb Report and Esquire – have honored the city for its fantastic fare and hailed individual restaurants for their exquisite cuisine, created by the likes of Bradley Ogden, Hubert Keller, Alain Ducasse, Emeril Lagasse, and Wolfgang Puck. To accompany its growing list of world-class chefs, Las Vegas has attracted more master sommeliers than any other U.S. city.

Some of the world's most exciting and versatile entertainers perform here including Celine Dion, Barry Manilow, Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Garth Brooks, and so many more. Also, hot selling tickets include Broadway hits such as "Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular" (Venetian), "Jersey Boys" (Caesars coming in 2012) and "Tony & Tina's Wedding" (Planet Hollywood).
