Seeing Stars
After 17 years, the Michelin Guide
is back in Las Vegas, sprinkling its
ratings around town and piquing
everyone’s curiosity about which
stars in the city’s culinary galaxy
warrant Michelin’s recognition.
While only one Las Vegas
restaurant grabbed two stars
(Restaurant de Joël Robuchon),
and three received one star (Guy
Savoy Las Vegas, é by José Andrés,
and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Las
Vegas), there were plenty of
interesting choices at varying price
points on the Bib Gourmand (good
food at moderate prices) and
recommended restaurant lists.
Check out Bib Gourmand
winner China Poblano at The
Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas,

cultures of Mexico and China.
Think tableside guac and siu mai,
and carnitas tacos alongside
20-vegetable fried rice.
Off the Strip, chef Brian
Howard’s Michelin-recommended
Sparrow + Wolf on Spring
Mountain is a seasonal American
cookery with inventive dishes such
as snapper tostada, rabbit “dan
dan” paccheri, and wood-fired
Lumina lamb. Order à la carte or go
for the full tasting menu
experience.
Back on the Strip at bougie
Brit-import Indian restaurant
Gymkhana, embrace the flavors of
the tandoori oven, classic curries,
biryanis, and chaat-style sharing
plates. Set a reminder to make your
rez 45 days out—this place is hotter
than curry and appears on the
Michelin-recommended list.
