TRAVEL PROMOTIONAL SERIES Las Vegas SAVOR Food-loving tourists are making a beeline for the culinary jackpot in Las Vegas. Begin your gastronomic tour with an ear-popping ride to the top floor of the Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower, where the Top of the World rotating restaurant awaits with panoramic views, 800 feet above the bustling city. Voted "Best Restaurant with a View" and "Best Fine Dining Restaurant" by readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2014, Top of the World is home to chef Rick Giffen, who tempts with a four-course menu replete with specialties, including the signature silky lobster bisque, the seared black cod with Thai green curry sauce, and the grilled filet with red wine sauce and mushrooms. Amp up the dining experience with reservations timed to catch the sunset atop the 1,149-foot tower, followed by an after-dinner spin around The Stratosphere's casino floor or a front-andcenter seat for a sellout show by hunky crooner Frankie Moreno, who recently inked a management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation company. If your taste favors the flavor of Mexico, then prepare to be enticed by the Golden Nugget's new restaurant concept. The Cadillac Mexican Cantina & Tequila Bar in "Old Vegas" is a 6,500-square-foot dining space punctuated by glass cases stocked with 112 SPIRIT JULY 2014 Stratosphere's tower tops out at 1,149 feet. PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARC PAULUS/STRATOSPHERE SPIRIT OF NEVADA Our trip across Nevada begins down south in Las Vegas, the Mojave Desert resort town where partying is a way of life. Flickering neon lights along the fabled 4-mile stretch known as The Strip flaunt a dizzying mix of casinos and concerts, mixing in tastes from across the world-from France (Paris Las Vegas) to Egypt (Luxor Hotel & Casino). Sure, Vegas has an over-the-top lineup of shows and a string of resorts where you can pool hop, but it also has outdoor activities set against the backdrop of the Southwestern terrain. And don't forget about the downtown neighborhood, which is experiencing a revival fueled by the walkable Fremont Street Experience and monthly First Friday music and art celebration in the city's Arts District. With dynamic entertainment options to suit every taste, a visitor to Las Vegas always wins.
