Las Vegas--When the long Las Vegas days of trade-show walking wind down, retailers, manufacturers and press will be looking for restaurants where they can recharge and refuel.
The evenings provide a chance to catch up with friends and colleagues while sampling different cuisines at all points along the Strip.
For members of the industry who want to refresh their memories on their favorite haunts, or perhaps try something new, here’s a list of restaurants to check out this year in Las Vegas.

3. Mon Ami Gabi
Serving French cuisine and an extensive wine list, this restaurant located on the Strip offers visitors a number of different dining environments.

Average price: $25 to $40

Located at the Palazzo Hotel, Morels combines a classic steakhouse with more unique features, including an iced seafood bar, a cheese and charcuterie bar and a wine list with more than 450 options.
