Las Vegas has become a culinary destination, one that features some of the best and most celebrated chefs in the world according to Bon Appetit Magazine, which is hosting Vegas Uncork'd, a four-day celebration due to feature over 25 culinary events in May.

In the autumn of 2007, Las Vegas became only the fourth US city to be profiled by the authors of the Michelin Guide, the prestigious restaurant and lodging guidebook. Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand received top honors with the coveted three-star rating. Earlier in 2007, AAA awarded four Vegas restaurants their prestigious Five Diamond Award: Alex at Wynn Las Vegas; Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand, Le Cirque and Picasso at Bellagio. Both Alex at Wynn Las Vegas and Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand have been honored with Five- Star ratings by Mobil Travel Guide. In 2004, Bradley Ogden received the James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant in the nation, the first Las Vegas restaurant to win the title.
