db Brasserie (CLOSED)

Foodies rejoiced when famed chef Daniel Boulud announced his return to Las Vegas, and this Venetian brasserie has not disappointed. The menu reads simply, but what arrives are beautiful, perfectly composed plates that remind you why French cuisine is still regarded as the paradigm of fine food. The twice-daily happy hour offers discounted nibbles in the bar and there’s even an oyster hour from 5pm to 6pm when the bivalves go for $1 apiece. Just be sure to save room for dessert. Three words: Grand Marnier soufflé.
