Place for a Power Lunch
Fog City Diner
COFFEE PUB
2800 W. Sahara Ave.
An interesting choice that perhaps reflects changes in the workplace, if you consider a menu and interior that appeal to the feminine side. Those less locked into gender stereotyping might just figure this West Sahara favorite is near a lot of offices. Either way, it snatched the deal from 30 bidders. Big Dog's finished a distant second.
Our Pick:
FOG CITY DINER
325 Hughes Center Drive
The Hughes Center was never going to make it as the white-collar downtown that Las Vegas never had as long as people kept having to cross Paradise Road for a power lunch. The San Francisco import immortalized in a credit-card commercial could alternatively spell its name Y-U-P-P-I-E, but it's a good place to beat up on an expense account.
