The 2012 edition of our acclaimed restaurant guide, Eating Las Vegas: The 50 Essential Restaurants, features all the elements -- fully updated -- that made ELV 2011 such a success, including the Top Ten and 40 Best of the Rest picks from the city's top three food critics. We've expanded the popular Vetoes section and added lots more to the Additional Recommendations, including a whole section on Steakhouses, plus the Best of Downtown Dining, Sunday Brunches, Food Trucks, and Special Diet options. From the 5-Star Robuchons to ethnic hole-in-the-walls you've never heard of, Eating Las Vegas now has more than 150 restaurants and bars (30 more than last year). You'll find the text peppered throughout with new "Insider Tips" from the three expert authors and lots more photographs, too.

In everyday language the authors explain their theory: how strong contrasts open spaces combined with closed spaces, darkness with light, simplicity with complexity - can be orchestrated to produce harmony in a living environment. With the help of drawings and photographs of successful house interiors, the authors show you how to evaluate the architecture of your home by analysing significant houses of other architects. In great detail they provide examples of how they apply the theory of contrast in the houses they design.
