Bon Appétit restaurant editor Andrew Knowlton on Vegas restaurants: "One thing that's crazy about Las Vegas to me is how these restaurants are mostly extensions of restaurants from [other cities] like New York. So many people leave Vegas thinking that's what fine dining is, and the restaurants here are such big, showy places. Vegas is a gateway drug to fine dining, so the restaurants here have a great opportunity to put something on a menu and people are more apt to trust it." [LVW]
