Las Vegas, NV Chefs Steal the Showby Sonja Albrecht Think of the top culinary destinations in the nation, and Las Vegas, NV probably comes to mind. Las Vegas culinary arts schools benefit from their proximity to some of the world’s finest restaurants: Aureole, Postrio, and Le Cirque, to name a few. In the past ten years, celebrity chefs have transformed Las Vegas, NV into a dining mecca. Your chef education will reflect the influence of local culinary luminaries like Wolfgang Puck, Emeril Lagasse, Jean-Louis Palladin, and Daniel Boulud. As one food critic observed, Las Vegas, NV “has more culinary talent per square inch than any other city in the world.” By attending one of Las Vegas’ culinary arts schools, you could someday join the ranks of this culinary elite. Cuisine in Las Vegas, like the city itself, knows no limits. Your chef education will extend well beyond the culinary arts school’s kitchen as you explore all Las Vegas, NV has to offer. You’ll find foie gras served alongside Cajun blackened catfish and Toro tartare and crepes Suzettes on the same menu. The best of world cuisine is all here, with no-holds-barred production values. Take Jean-Philippe Patisserie, which features the world’s tallest chocolate fountain. Eye candy is as important here as the food itself, so expect a thorough chef’s education in presentation. If you’re ever sated by Las Vegas, NV’s culinary delights, take a break from your chef education with the city’s shows or gaming—even art museums. The Bellagio Art Gallery hosts an Impressionist collection that features original Van Gogh, Monet, and Renoir masterpieces. The influx of tourist dollars has built Las Vegas, NV into a cultured desert metropolis. The city’s culinary arts schools reap the benefits, with unparalleled access to world-class cuisine.
