Robin Leach of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, Wolfgang Puck of Spago and Elizabeth Blau of Blau and Associates all discuss how the Vegas dining scene has evolved over the years.

Leach remembers the Vegas of yesteryear when all-you-can-eat shrimp cocktails were $1.99 and hoteliers had secret dining rooms for luxe dining. Puck talks about how Vegas was initially a difficult sell, but 21 years later he has six restaurants on the strip and "never looks back." And Elizabeth Blau reflects on bringing Vegas fine dining into the entertainment realm.
