When it comes to cuisine, Nevada has been influenced by a plethora of different communities. Asian food is popular, and there are more than 300 Thai restaurants in the state. For the most authentic, visit Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas which is considered one of the best in North America. Try the crispy duck with chili mint leaves and coconut ice cream with sticky rice for dessert.
A popular dish that you must try during your stay in Nevada is the chateaubriand — a thick piece of steak cooked between two thinner pieces. The Basque-style chateaubriand is particularly popular with the locals, and the city of Elko even hosts an annual Basque Festival in early July. Head to Duke's Steakhouse in Carson City to check out this meat-lovers delicacy.
