In keeping with the keen reportorial skills, investigative journalistic integrity and relentless news breaking reputation for which he is known, ELV hereby features the four covers of the 2009 Michelin Guides that will be unveiled on October 22nd at a gala, exclusive, no-hoi-polloi-allowed reception* at the Wynn Hotel. As fascinating as these are(?), it’s what’s inside that we are keenly interested in. If RM Seafood, Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare, Restaurant Charlie and CUT don’t gain at least a star, a minor crime will have been committed. If a couple of notable underperforming places (notable primarily for their underperformance) don’t lose theirs, another one will be.

* With this post, ELV hopes to avoid said designation.
Is it possible for an off-Strip place to garner a Michelin in this town? Are the reviewers even aware that there are other restaurants here that aren’t located on the Strip? Do they care?
