I ate at Gordon Ramsay, Lisa Vanderpump, and Giada De Laurentiis' Las Vegas restaurants. One got every dish right.

I compared Las Vegas restaurants owned by Gordon Ramsay, Lisa Vanderpump, and Giada De Laurentiis.

Vanderpump has wild cocktails, while De Laurentiis sticks to Italian-American classics.

My favorite was Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen restaurant, where every dish was perfectly executed.

Trips to Las Vegas have started to look a little different since I entered my 30s.

Gone are the days when my friends and I would solely survive on McDonald's or Panda Express, lugging grease-stained brown bags or heaving cartons of orange chicken as we rushed from the pool party to the nightclub.

Oh, to be young. Or at least that young!

I'm still going to the clubs, but you won't catch me at the Venetian food court anymore. Dining in Sin City has never been better, and I treat each visit as an opportunity to explore.

On my most recent Vegas trip to review The Vanderpump Hotel , I got the chance to try three very different restaurants by three very big names: Lisa Vanderpump, Gordon Ramsay , and Giada De Laurentiis .

There were highs, there were lows, there were cocktails covered in smoke. There were birdcages stuffed with charcuterie, towers stacked with crostini and crepes, and who could forget the world's most famous beef Wellington ?

Here's how it all went.

My first meal of the trip was lunch at Giada, located at the brand-new Vanderpump Hotel.

Giada was De Laurentiis' very first restaurant, opening at The Cromwell hotel in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip in June 2014. The property has since been completely revamped by Vanderpump and now bears her name, but Giada remains in the same space.

When I walked into the restaurant, something about the interior design felt distinctly '90s.

The nearly orange glow of the lighting and the multicolored patterns on the chairs made me feel like I was back in a quirky coffee shop from my childhood. Waiting on each marble table were red water glasses decorated with stars and salmon-pink cloth napkins.

My friend Kayla and I sat down in a comfy crescent-shaped booth that faced the floor-to-ceiling windows, offering front-row seats to the Strip. Our server said the view was even better at night, when everything was lit up and you could watch the Fountains of Bellagio.

We decided to start with the $40 Brunch Favorites Tower.

We loved the crostini, which arrived in thin logs with a generous piping of ricotta on top. The cheese was lightly kissed with truffle and hot honey, creating a sweet-and-savory bite that felt indulgent.

The crepes — which came with either Nutella and strawberry or smoked salmon and caviar — were less impressive. The savory crepe was surprisingly bland, and we couldn't taste any of the caviar. The bacon-wrapped dates at the bottom of the tower were a bit heavy, but the creamy gorgonzola dipping crema added some balance.

Next up was the chopped Italian salad.

We figured we needed some balance before a round of pasta, but the chopped salad was lacking in ingredients and flavor. There wasn't enough salami or baby tomatoes, and, overall, everything needed a big punch of salt.

I tried a couple of additional Giada appetizers while getting room service at The Vanderpump Hotel and would recommend the (really delicious) $17 orzo meatballs or $34 salumi and formaggi dish instead.

We tried the breakfast risotto, rigatoni alla vodka, and cavatelli pasta for our entrées.

The star of the trio was the $22 rigatoni alla vodka, which features pomodoro, a dollop of ricotta, and basil. The noodles, covered in sauce and dusted in cheese, looked beautiful on the plate. Each bite was satisfyingly creamy and rich, with a hint of sweetness.

We also liked the breakfast risotto, a fun Italian-American fusion breakfast that featured sunny-side-up eggs, applewood-smoked bacon, and sugar snap peas. It wasn't the most memorable dish, but the risotto was cooked well, and I liked the extra crunch from the peas and bacon.

Our least favorite dish of the day was the $25 cavatelli. We ordered the pasta since it uses the same lemon crema as the signature lemon spaghetti on Giada's dinner menu, but we could barely taste any lemon. The shrimp on top was dry and looked unappetizing against the pale cavatelli, which had been topped with crispy capers. Nothing about the dish seemed to work.

A Caesars representative declined to comment on the food at Giada.

The next day, we headed across the street to Caesars Palace for lunch at Hell's Kitchen.

Although I've never seen "Hell's Kitchen," which is now in its 25th season, I'm a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay. I've been to a number of his restaurants in London — including his very fun bottomless pizza spot — and love whipping up his recipes at home (my favorite is his 15-minute Bolognese ).

So I was super excited to finally dine at one of his Hell's Kitchen restaurants , all of which serve his signature beef Wellington dish.

The restaurant's interior is designed to make guests feel as if they're on the show's set.

The Hell's Kitchen restaurant features a massive open kitchen split into a red and blue side, with chefs wearing either red or blue bandanas to signify their team — just like on the show.

Dangling from the ceiling are dozens of light fixtures shaped like golden pitchforks, part of the series' iconic logo.

We decided to start our day with cocktails that we could eat and drink.

There's nothing like a good Bloody Mary — or in this case, the Hell's Mary — to start your day in Vegas. Hell's Kitchen's $25 version include...
