There's at least one thing you can bet on when you visit a casino: the food will be good. Gaming complexes typically offer some of the most highly rated cuisine in the world, in a variety of settings and often at reasonable prices. Las Vegas's latest fixture, the M Resort, has only 390 rooms and 39 suites— yet there are nine restaurants and five lounges. Among them: the Studio B Show Kitchen Buffet, which puts an entertaining twist on a typical Las Vegas buffet by relaying a live feed of its cooking studio to 117 screens in the buffet area. At the top of the hotel, the Restaurant Veloce Cibo offers an extensive menu of appetizers and sushi, as well as amazing views of the neon skyline (themresort.com).

Joël Robuchon, renowned for his work at the MGM Grand in Vegas, also dazzles at the Robuchon a Galera in Macau's Hotel Lisboa, which recently received three Michelin stars. The five-course executive lunch menu costs $82, and includes lavish bread, cheese and dessert trolleys. The candy trolley, replete with nougats, lollipops and colorful marshmallows, will answer every diner's childhood sugar fantasies (hotellisboa .com). The hotel also offers spectacular Chinese cuisine at Tim's Kitchen, which serves Cantonese delicacies such as glass shrimps, pomelo peels with shrimp roe and snake soup.

In the Bahamas, the Atlantis is home to Nobu, one of the many outposts of well-known Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa. The menu presents his regular fare of superior sashimi and fish tartare, as well as dishes infused with a Bahamian touch, such as the Conch Ceviche and Live Conch Sashimi (atlantis.com). Inside Mayfair's private Aspinalls gambling club, guests will find some of London's finest Italian cuisine, prepared by chef Alberico Penati, formerly of Harry's Bar in London. Notable dishes include pappar-delle with hare ragu and the Contrafilet Fassone beef served with shavings of black truffle and a chestnut and mushroom sauce (aspinalls-club.com). Such delicacies help make losses easier to swallow.
