Fyi: Much to ELV’s relief, the editors of the Weekly have decided to dispense with the awarding of “stars” with these reviews. Whew! In 1950, five years before Bob Taylor opened his steakhouse...

[Show as slideshow] On a recent rainy day, ELV decided to while away his time on the almost-never-empty patio of Mon Ami Gabi , with a bottle of Alsatian white wine, some onion soup, a plate of steak frites, and a little chickadee who adopted us because of our penchant for scattering crumbs as we eat.

Chef Shawn Armstrong oversees an operation that’s as adept at turning out superior sushi as it is an authentic lamb curry or first rate braised short ribs and pork bellies. He and...

photo by flipchip • lasvegasvegas.com It rained all night Rain in Las Vegas is so rare that when it does come down the wet stuff generally disrupts the city with flooded streets, washed away houses, and driving becomes a really big gamble. So far this year, all 22 days of it, we have received more rain than we did in all of 2009. The 2009 rainfall...

[Show as slideshow] We told Chef Tom Moloney we were embarrassed for having taken so long to re-visit Aqua Knox . It had been at least four years since last we indulged in the superior swimmers they cook here, and our memories were nothing but good. In fact, it was a definitive Dover sole that cemented this place’s reputation in our minds...
