As Las Vegas continues to grow its culinary reputation, the Review-Journal is set to unveil its second annual list of the Top 100 Restaurants in the city.
On Sunday, the eagerly awaited list will be available online at neon.reviewjournal.com and in the print editions delivered to homes.
This year, over a third of the featured restaurants are located on the Strip, while the rest reflect the city’s diverse dining options spread throughout the valley.
The 2023 list showcases a broader range of culinary traditions compared to last year’s inaugural edition, including cuisines such as Peruvian, French bistro, Hawaiian, soul food, Italian, vegan, Mexican, burgers, baked goods, pizza, and various Asian flavors.
In a nod to the growing culinary scene, the list also includes a winery, wine merchant, distillery, and several bars, acknowledging their significant contributions to Vegas’s food culture.
This year marks a special moment, as ten restaurants have been honored by being inducted into a Hall of Fame dedicated to celebrating establishments that have achieved enduring quality and iconic status.
The hope is that this annual list not only encourages food enthusiasts to explore new dining experiences but also serves as a reminder to revisit beloved favorites.
According to the Review-Journal, users are urged to bookmark the online list and share it with family and friends planning to visit, ultimately fostering a vibrant culinary conversation.
