The New York Times reports that Michael White, a chef with a New York restaurant empire compared to Mario Batali and Daniel Boulud, has eyes for the Las Vegas Strip. White, a protege of Paul Bartolotta at Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare at Wynn Las Vegas, has two Michelin starred Marea on Central Park South and Ai Fiori in the Setai Fifth Avenue, among other Italian eateries. No word on where, but Mandalay Bay and the Venetian have enviable resto spaces open. [NYT]
