Top 7 Places for a Gastronomic Adventure through Las Vegas

By Zeke Quezada, About.com

Las Vegas offers so many great dining choices that the best way to cover all your bases is to try as many as you can in the smallest time possible. Try these restaurants for a drink, an appetizer or an entire meal. Don't start counting calories either, live it up and have seven meals in a day. Can you possibly eat at seven restaurants in one day? Try it!

1. Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace Las Vegas

In Las Vegas you have to go to at least one celebrity chef owned restaurant so why not make it the Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace. If you fit it in at lunch time you will easily be able to squeeze in another restaurant by 3 in the afternoon. Bobby Flay does some mean Tamales, so have a couple and a drink before you move on to your next restaurant.

2. Sushi Roku - Las Vegas

The perfect after meal snack is Sushi. Sushi Roku is the best place to go and sample just enough food to get you through to your before dinner afternoon meal. Since you are in the Forum shops take a little stroll around the mall and get yourself ready for an afternoon of eating.

3. Ventuno at the Flamingo Hotel

Walk across the street from Caesars palace and sample some pizza at Ventuno. Just a slice is all you'll need to give you an idea if you want to return on another visit.

4. Isla Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar at Treasure Island

Sure four meals in a small amount of time can be excessive but in Las Vegas you create your own fun. Take a short walk from the Flamingo over to the TI and have one Margarita and a couple of tacos at Isla. Stay away from the chips and salsa because that could ruin your chances at 3 more menus before the day is over.

5. Red 8 Asian Bistro in the Wynn Las Vegas

As the sun starts setting on your day, your epic battle to try as many restaurants in a day will deliver you to some Southeast Asian cuisine at Red 8 Asian Bistro. Eat family style and try just enough protein to get you going for a late night meal and then a desert. Try a little roast duck and roast pork and you should be ready for dinner.

6. Nobu at the Hard Rock Hotel

This is the meal you have been waiting for all day. Sit back and relax and have the fine dining experience that everybody talks about in Las Vegas. Nobu will put your intestines in digestive euphoria. Six restaurants in one day and you have a good idea of what Las Vegas dining is really about.

7. FIX at the Bellagio

Did someone say dessert? What better way to end the night than with an espresso shake and some decadent chocolate cake? Fix at the Bellagio is where your culinary tour will end and gastronomic pleasures will reach their peak.
