City Center Eateries Featured on KLAS TV (CBS) Channel 8’s Dishing and Dining
We don’t know what’s more impressive: the fact that Emmy Award-winning Denise Valdez squeezed four restaurants (and chefs) into segment lasting less than two minutes, or that she captured uber-absentee chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten right here in our humble burg. (We guarantee he wasn’t here for long.)
Perhaps, JGV will grace Vegas with his presence more often in the near future, since his 420 seat, dark and moody behemoth — Jean-Georges Steakhouse – is going to need all the help it can get.
Having Rob Moore in the kitchen at JGS will certainly help, but 420 seats is the size of seven Le Cirques!
This place better hope Aria starts filling up fast.
Restaurant reviews, quips, picks and pans-with some seriously salivating history-from the man who eats his way through Sin City every day.

WHOA!!!! Denise Valdez actually caught Jean-Georges Vongerichten here in Vegas? She deserves another emmy for that alone.
And 420 SEATS??!! Now that’s massive! And perhaps Jean-Georges Vongerichten is the one to pull off something like this, since Prime is still such a cash cow for Bellagio, but it must still be a daunting task to make it work in such a huge restaurant without making it feel too much like some impersonal “food factory”.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It?s the old what goes around comes around routine.
