Where to find classic restaurants and bars in Las Vegas - Eater Vegas
"Hard to imagine, but Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at the MGM Grand opened in 1995. The sprucing of the decor hides the longevity, but superstar chef Emeril Lagasse brings oysters and fresh fish to the desert for almost as long as Wolfgang Puck has labored to encourage the arrival of celebrity chefs. From the beginning, Lagasse sought to capture the local dining crowd to join the steady stream tourists caught in the resort’s net. Not yet a television phenom, his Essence of Emeril Food Network show was gaining traction leading to him operating four Las Vegas restaurants. Signature New New Orleans dishes at the MGM Grand include barbecued shrimp, sweet barbecued Atlantic salmon, and pecan-crusted Texas redfish. And the banana cream pie is not to be missed." - Janna Karel
