Like an aging chorine who learns a little French and buys a Chanel frock in hopes of attracting an upper-crust beau, Las Vegas is smarting itself up to snag ritzier visitors...

The dish holds together well as a lighter option that remains flavorful and coherent. Chile rellenos ($9.95) sound unusual as well, advertised as Anaheim and Poblano peppers stuffed with...
