The firm has been given credit for Las Vegas' transformation from ordinary buffet fare to where it is now: teeming with top-tier restaurants manned by acclaimed chefs. "Celebrity has long been known for providing outstanding cuisine, as has Blau & Associates, so we're confident our guests will be delighted with the results of our partnership," said Celebrity's president Dan Hanrahan. Notable Las Vegas restaurants that have flourished under what some critics have dubbed "the Blau factor," include Le Cirque 2000 and other restaurants within the MGM/Mirage and Bellagio.
