Sure, the payoffs can be great, but everyone knows the house always wins. Well, maybe not always. One of the biggest gambles the city has taken in recent years is the transformation of the dining scene from all-you-can-eat prime-rib buffets to world-class restaurants. The hotels that invested in these new eating establishments are reaping financial rewards, but the real winners are the residents and tourists who can now feast on some of the best food in the country. At every level, from bakery to bistro, noodle shop to nouvelle cuisine, Vegas is firmly situated on the culinary map. One of the people who helped make it so was Jean-Louis Palladin, who packed up his things in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., and moved to the dining desert in the early 1990s. We lost Palladin to lung cancer last year, but this event has been coordinated by his colleague Andrà Rochat to honor the people and the city he touched. Rochat is gathering many of the chefs who helped the Vegas gourmet gamble pay off at his new restaurant in the Top of the Palms Casino and Resort, Alizà , which Ken White of the Las Vegas Review-Journal says "delivers" on all counts. Greeting the chefs will be Michael Demers, a Johnson & Wales grad who worked with Daniel Boulud at Le Cirque and who is executive chef of Alizà . Demers moved to Las Vegas, where he met Jean-Louis Palladin. Palladin mentored Demers and encouraged him to join the Napa restaurant opening team. When Napa closed after Palladin's death in 2001, Demers was recruited to Rochat's new project at the Top of the Palms. Rochat, Vegas regulars will know, was one of the first serious chefs to call the city of neon lights home. He opened his first fine French restaurant, Andrà 's French Restaurant, in 1980, bringing the cooking of his native Savoie to t. Maroon, Fred J. (photography) (ilustrador).…
