"Eating Las Vegas: The 50 Essential Restaurants" has been published for the third year in a row from food critics, John Curtas, Max Jacobson and Al Mancini. USA Today reports that the book is "an opinionated guide to dining in what has become one of the restaurant capitals of the world with an ever-growing menu of dining options in all price and ethnic categories."
The lists are alphabetical and in top ten lists. They include high end restaurants but they have also included more affordable options in this years book.
The Las Vegas Sun reports that there have been a number of restaurants that didn't make it on the list this year. For the book all three critics have to agree on the choice. "The fact that we've made it this far without killing one another is a testament to our love for this project," say the three authors to the Las Vegas Sun. "Because for all our differences in age, area of expertise, level of experience and food preferences, we continue to believe that three heads are better than one when trying to create the definitive list of must-try Las Vegas restaurants.
In fact, it's those differences that have always inspired this book. We write with drastically different voices and acutely different sensibilities to three totally different crowds. ... If any one of us had tried to write this individually, it would have been embraced by people who enjoy our specific writings, but quickly dismissed by those who dislike us."
The Las Vegas Sun reported that of the 50 restaurants that they named "essential" 20 percent are new entries and new categories have been added.
New restaurants on the list include, Marche Baccus which is a French restaurant off the strip, Raku a Japanese eatery off the strip based in a strip mall.
