Now is the time to celebrate the return of white truffles, the swanky fungi found in Italy and now appearing at some of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. It's still early in the season, but already the pricey delight has made its way to restaurants here.

Here's a guide to the Vegas restaurants that have started serving white truffles. Because it's so early in the season, call ahead to ensure the ingredient is on the menu. Rest assured that when November rolls around, they will be far more widely available.
