I ate at Gordon Ramsay, Lisa Vanderpump, and Giada De Laurentiis' Las Vegas restaurants. One got every dish right.

Trips to Las Vegas have started to look a little different since I entered my 30s.

Gone are the days when my friends and I would solely survive on McDonald’s or Panda Express, lugging grease-stained brown bags or heaving cartons of orange chicken as we rushed from the pool party to the nightclub.

I’m still going to the clubs, but you won’t catch me at the Venetian food court anymore.

Dining in Sin City has never been better, and I treat each visit as an opportunity to explore.

On my most recent Vegas trip to review The Vanderpump Hotel, I got the chance to try three very different restaurants by three very big names: Lisa Vanderpump, Gordon Ramsay, and Giada De Laurentiis.

There were highs, there were lows, there were cocktails covered in smoke.

There were birdcages stuffed with charcuterie, towers stacked with crostini and crepes, and who could forget the world’s most famous beef Wellington?
