The 38 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas
"In New York City, James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Dominique Ansel’s eponymous bakeries customarily bear long lines. The lack of queues — at least those exceeding five minutes — at the Las Vegas locations marks them as superlative alone. The bakeries are worth visiting just for the pastries, a seasonally updated lineup of too-cute tarts and cakes that blend exquisite layers of mousse, gelée, and almond financier into gleaming pastries that resemble strawberries or watering cans or blueberry muffins. But it is the Cronut for which Ansel gained notoriety — light-as-air doughnuts composed of hundreds of flaky sugary sheets. The newest outpost sets up shop at the Paris, leaning into the themed casino to produce an entire menu of savory crêpes, rotisserie chicken, and sandwiches like one of brioche with steamed eggs and gruyere cheese. —Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Best for: Anyone who deserves a little treat (you)" - Matthew Kang
