Las Vegas is getting another turn in the national food spotlight. According to the Hartford Courant, chef David Chang is cruising toward the city in a new CNN travel series built around food, road trips and the places that shape them.

The AP, as carried by the Courant, said the episode follows Chang on the highway en route to Las Vegas, underscoring the city’s role as a destination in the broader American dining conversation. For a metro that now competes on food as much as on entertainment, that kind of attention still matters.

Las Vegas has spent years building a reputation that stretches well beyond buffets and celebrity names. National coverage like this helps reinforce what locals already know: the city’s dining scene is part of its identity, not just an add-on to the casinos.
