On Nov. 15, LVA will unveil Las Vegas’ 50 finest restaurants, as chosen by the troika of John Curtas, Max Jacobson and Al Mancini. Their collective judgment will be showcased in Eating Las Vegas. As our invaluable Heidi Olson writes:
The groundbreaking dining guide will be priced at $12.95 and will feature not only a special veto section—including heated arguments about some of the restaurants prized by one critic and rejected by the others—but also quick-reference lists in a dozen categories, such as Best Cocktails and Best Cheap Eats.
Me, I’m looking forward to the argle-bargle part. And it’s a cinch that readers will find this “Best Restaurants” list of more interest than that recently cited by Cosmopolitan CEO John Unwin on his Twitter feed. Lacking Unwin’s globe-trotting budget and lifestyle, few of us can relate to his pampered palate. No such problem with Messrs. Curtas, Jacobson and Mancini — even if they turned a deaf ear to my plea that they write something about the otherworldly experience that is Pamplemousse. Ah well. Maybe Ernie Curcio will write it up as a play and engage Erik Amblad to play the maitre’d — complete with the extra-high crew cut.
