Transcript:Top 5 Restaurants in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is packed with hundreds of outstanding restaurants so picking just five is very difficult. You can find almost any type of food with a quality level that equals the best in the world. However I'll narrow the field down to these five: Comme Ça, Serendipity 3, La Cave, Wazuzu and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon.

Top Las Vegas Restaurants: Comme Ça

First Comme Ça. Located inside the amazing Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on the third floor this French Bistro features a beautiful bar, dining room and outdoor patio with a magnificent view of the strip. There's even a private outdoor dining area and lots of hidden tables for a romantic dinner. Comme Ça was created by Chef David Myers and has a sister location in Los Angeles.

So is it possible to have wonderful French food right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip? You bet, but you better make a reservation. Comme Ça received About.com's 2012 Las Vegas Reader's Choice Award for "Best Restaurant." It's very popular.

Top Las Vegas Restaurants: Serendipity 3

Next Serendipity 3 at Caesar's Palace. This restaurant offers an expansive menu of comfort food, from over-the-top desserts to tasty and unique entrees.

It has a great view of the Las Vegas Strip and it has a full seating area with an old fashion ice cream parlor, bar and retail area and is a great place for a family dining experience. And for Desserts, there is something for everyone and the most famous desert is The golden opulence sundae, which is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive dessert!

Top Las Vegas Restaurants: La Cave

La Cave at The Wynn is number 3. La Cave is a cozy bistro with outstanding food plus it showcases wines that are carefully matched to its oven-fired flatbreads. It was created by Michael Morton and serves modern American small plates from Executive Chef William DeMarco.

Top Las Vegas Restaurants: Wazuzu

Just steps aways is number four – Wazuzu at The Encore. Opened by Chef Jet Tila, this fantastic restaurant offers dishes from China, Japan, India, Singapore, and Thailand. The décor is fun and exciting, and the menu boasts a wide selection of Asian favorites.

Top Las Vegas Restaurants: L'Atelier

And finally number 5 is L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon at the MGM Grand. Created by France's Chef of the Century, Joël Robuchon, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon features unique counter service where your dinner is prepared right before your eyes. You can enjoy tapas, a tasting menu, and wines from around the world in a friendly atmosphere. It's a One-star Michelin restaurant and a Zagat Survey Rated Best Las Vegas Restaurant.

And those were 5 outstanding restaurants in Las Vegas.
