It is easy to get lost in the sea of restaurants that populate the city. While there are restaurants inside the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) for when lunch time calls, it’s nice to get out of the bustle of Expo for a break. There are several alternatives nearby for dining with clients or just getting away. Café 325 in the Las Vegas Marriott offers casual dining, while near the South entrance of LVCC in the Marriott Renaissance, attendees will find the award-winning ENVY Steakhouse.
