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

Upon traveling to Las Vegas for the first time in her thirties, Jacob Kepler for BI embarked on a culinary journey through three renowned restaurants owned by Gordon Ramsay, Lisa Vanderpump, and Giada De Laurentiis. Each dining experience offered a unique perspective on the city's restaurant scene.

The evening commenced with a visit to Giada De Laurentiis' restaurant, Giada, situated within the recently renovated Vanderpump Hotel. Giada marked the Italian-American chef's debut venture in Las Vegas, established in June 2014. Despite being housed in the same space since the hotel's name change, Giada retained its distinct identity.

Upon entering, the ambiance felt reminiscent of a '90s coffee shop, characterized by an almost neon glow, multicolored patterns on chairs, and salmon-pink napkins. The dining area boasted comfortable crescent-shaped booths with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering mesmerizing views of the Strip, which were particularly enchanting at night.

For starters, the $40 Brunch Favorites Tower proved to be a delightful combination of crostini, crepes, and charcuterie. The crostini, adorned with truffle and hot honey, provided a sweet-and-savory burst of flavors, while the crepes, though slightly bland, showcased a smoky bacon-wrapped date topped with gorgonzola cream. The Italian salad, although light on ingredients, required an extra dash of salt to enhance the overall taste.

Among the entrées, the Rigatoni alla Vodka, featuring pomodoro, ricotta, and basil, stood out as the triumphant dish, offering a creamy and richly satisfying experience. The breakfast risotto, an Italian-American fusion, and the Cavatelli, a dish plagued by an insipid lack of lemon flavor, failed to impress. A Caesars representative did not comment on the restaurant's cuisine.
