The Latest Vegas Food Developments to Keep on Your Radar

Las Vegas is renowned for its signature dining experiences, from gourmet extravaganzas to quick (but delicious) eats. Travel Agent has rounded up some of the latest new and upcoming developments for Vegas-bound foodies you should keep in mind. 

Giada de Laurentiis Arrives at The Cromwell

The Cromwell Las Vegas, the new boutique hotel from Caesar's Entertainment, will have a secret weapon up its sleeve when it debuts on May 21: the first restaurant from Food Network and Today Show personality Giada de Laurentiis. The new restaurant, GIADA, will offer al fresco dining and an exhibition kitchen showcasing fresh pastas being made daily by hand and a signature antipasto bar.

GIADA can accommodate 260 guests and has automatic retractable windows with views of the Bellagio fountains, Caesars Palace and Bally's Grand Bazaar Shops.

The menu will embrace De Laurentiis' Roman heritage with Californian influences for a new, lighter take on the traditional Italian cuisine. Signature dishes include Lemon Spaghetti, Eggplant Rollatini, Marsala Herb Chicken Meatballs and Lemon Ricotta Cookies.

Guy Fieri's New Vegas Restaurant

Another Food Network alum recently arrived on the Vegas scene: Guy Fieri's new restaurant, Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar, opened April 17 at The Quad Resort & Casino

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m., the 200-seat restaurant offers Fieri's signature take on American casual food, serving burgers, wings, tacos, small bites and shareable items.

The drink menu offers 16 craft beers, in addition to a Sonoma County wine selection and a frozen tap system shot bar. Instead of having shots strained or mixed with ice, which then run the risk of getting diluted, the frozen tap system bar dispenses eight different shots straight out of iced dispensers.

The restaurant has a large outdoor patio and dining area with panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip, as well as design elements inspired by Fieri's local alma mater, UNLV.
