The most remarkable restaurants to have earned Michelin recognition in Las Vegas attract guests for exceptional dining experiences.

As restrictions in Las Vegas fell off ahead of most major cities in America, many eager food enthusiasts flocked to get a taste of normalcy during such a bizarre time. Here are 10 restaurants in Las Vegas that have gained Michelin recognition.
