It has always played a major role in the food scene in Las Vegas (especially in the celeb chef arena), and it has recently made some welcome changes. David Chang’s Majordomo Meat & Fish, inspired by its sister restaurant in Los Angeles is in; Estiatorio Milos relocated its incredible seafood (and best lunch deal on the Strip) from Cosmopolitan; and Mott 32 is some of the best Chinese food you can have on the Strip."

"Venice, Italy, is famous for its canals and singing gondoliers, but travelers won’t need a passport to ride the Grand Canal at the Venetian Casino Resort in Nevada’s largest city.
