In 1989, Joël robuchon was named Chef of the Century by gault millau, a title he has lived up to, collecting a total of 25 michelin stars across his culinary empire – more than any other chef. he turns his formidable gastronomic reputation to las vegas and the iconic mgm grand at this eponymous three-michelin-starred restaurant, serving up signature dishes such as L’OEuf de Poule (crispy softboiled egg in light Comté cheese sauce with Iberico de Bellota ham) and La Langoustine (truffled langoustine ravioli with chopped cabbage). the surroundings are equally decadent, conjuring a Paris of the 1930s in its sumptuous 42-seat main dining room. www.mgmgrand.com
