the power of data can reveal the food status of a city. According to the data of OpenTable, a global food search engine, Las Vegas is a real food desert.
The catering industry in Las Vegas is the most important part of the city's economy. However, although the city is famous for its large number of world-class hotels, casinos and high-end restaurants, according to OpenTable, Las Vegas is one of the food cities with the fewest customers in the United States. According to OpenTable's survey, in 219, the city ranked second among the food cities with the least customers, only slightly better than New Orleans.
The survey also shows that there are many food places in Las Vegas, but many people are obviously not interested in it. For example, on the famous Las Vegas Strip, many restaurants need to make reservations in advance because the demand exceeds the supply. However, most tourists don't seem to enjoy the local food. On the contrary, they prefer to eat in restaurants in hotels or fast food restaurants or chain restaurants.
there are various reasons for this phenomenon. First of all, Las Vegas is a tourist city, which pays great attention to superficial prosperity, which leads to the presence of many large chain stores and international brands that are too eye-catching. In addition, tourists are often distracted by the environment of large casinos and hotels in Las Vegas and lack understanding and interest in local food culture. Finally, many high-end dining places are expensive, which makes dining a luxury.
Although there are problems in the food state in Las Vegas, it is not a real food desert. People can find all kinds of delicious food in this city. From traditional Las Vegas buffets and casino restaurants to exquisite and innovative bakeries and local Korean restaurants, the city is actually rich and diverse.
Generally speaking, the food status in Las Vegas implies the fact that no matter how big a city is or how many dining places it has, it is necessary to attach importance to local food culture and cheap and affordable dining places, so that people can enjoy the pleasure of food.
