Why You Should Go: Las Vegas is likely the world capital of imitations. From hotels like Paris, New York New York and The Venetian, to the ubiquitous Elvis impersonators, no place knows how to do replicas quite like us. But while duplication makes for a lot of fun and a lot of laughs, there’s nothing quite like authentication, and it doesn’t get more authentic than the upscale cooking at Spiedini Italian Ristorante.

What You Should Know: Award-winning chef Gustav Mauler has created a culinary gem inside the JW Marriott, offering Italian regional dishes with outstanding seasonal ingredients. From starters like Sweet Water Shrimp and Tuscan Hummus to hand-crafted Lobster Ravioli and Ricotta Spinach Gnocchi, to Wild Alaskan Halibut, Veal Milanese and Grilled Lamb Chops, it’s hard to imagine anyone walking away unsatisfied (or hungry). You’ll also enjoy a carefully crafted wine list as well as a full bar, all inside a beautifully appointed dining room. So save the imitations for after dinner, and get your fill of authenticity at Spiedini.
