Craving Las Vegas, The Food You Need to Have on the Las Vegas Strip

If you need a reason to eat in Las Vegas I can give you one. I constantly crave food and these are five dishes that you must consider when in Las Vegas. If you love to eat you will crave Las Vegas. I have no problem indulging, there is no shame in eating a little too much and i rarely leave my seat if there is still plenty of great food on the table.

From decadent desserts to lavish presentations I crave food in Las Vegas everyday and I try my best to eat everywhere. Go ahead, ask the question, "How do I still look so good?" I am genetically predisposed to eat as much as I want and my weight will be kept in check as long as I do not crave speedo swimsuits and a washboard stomach. That is a perfect trade off to being able to eat a lot of great food in Las Vegas.

So what am I craving? Currently these five restaurants are swirling around in my dreams.

• Dos Caminos at the Palazzo Las Vegas - Chips and Guacamole with a beer are really all I would need but how can I pass up on the carnitas tacos?
• Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace - This is the place where the calorie counting goes out the window. The portions are huge and the meals are decadent. This is the type of place you search for when you are on vacation.
• L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon - The L'Unique Menu at Le A'telier at the MGM Grand is where yo go when you want to indulge but you would hope to be a little more classy while doing it. You'll probably have a little too much wine so prepare yourself.
• Breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Las Vegas - I never get tired of people watching in Las Vega and the patio at Mon Ami Gabi is one of the best places to do it. A cup of coffee and a pastry and I can waste away my morning enjoying the free Las Vegas Show.
• Wazuzu at Encore Las Vegas - I cannot say anymore good things about Wazuzu before they start linking me romantically with a server there. I cannot even take my wife to Wazuzu because she would instantly love me less because I could never create a dish that does so much for your eating experience. This is the place I could easily have everyday.
