Joel Robuchon earns sole three-star ranking in Michelin Guide to Las Vegas
As with all things Internet, something was leaked.
The “Michelin Guide Las Vegas 2008” isn’t set to go on sale for a few more days, but clever URL manipulations lead some Internet users to an online listing of restaurant ratings. Although the post was initially taken down, the company has made the listing available again and has confirmed that they are official.
Between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, French Chef, Joel Robuchon earned the only three-star rating for his eponymous restaurant at the MGM Grand. Although Robuchon garnered the sole three-star rating, several restaurants in both cities received two and one-star ratings.
According to the Michelin Guide Web site, restaurants are awarded three stars for serving “exceptional cuisine” and being “worth the journey.”
Ranking in the guide comes with prestige and very often leads to an increase in business.
