The 38 Essential Restaurants in Las Vegas

"Dining at Amalfi is everything a diner could ask for when visiting the restaurant of a celebrity chef — the food is superlative, a market display makes a fun process of selecting fish, and there’s even a chance they may catch Bobby Flay emerging from the kitchen during one of his visits. The fish options change nightly, dependent on what is flown in that day from the Mediterranean, and can be roasted with lemon and capers, red pepper and Calabrian chile pesto, or salsa verde. While the fish is being cooked to diners’ specifications, they can start with deftly charred octopus in burnt orange sauce or the selection of handmade pastas. Appropriately, the wine list features Italian wine that pair just right with fare influenced by the refined ease of the Amalfi Coast — second only to the pairing of an espresso martini with the restaurant’s pistachio gelato sundae dressed in dark chocolate sauce and Amarena cherries." - Janna Karel
