The data’s dubious, but there’s no denying the number is a notable coincidence: Las Vegas reportedly has the highest density of restaurants in the U.S. with a sinful 666 per every 100,000 residents.<\/p>\n

The numbers were crunched by Business.org as a marketing and traffic-generation tool (mission accomplished<\/a>), a mash-up of Census Bureau, TripAdvisor and Yelp data.<\/p>\n

\"Vegas
Scientific, this ain’t.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the devilish 666 has some entertainment value, it also comes with a metric hell-ton of caveats.<\/p>\n

The population number used to calculate the “666 restaurants per capita ” is 651,319. That’s the population of the City of Las Vegas. (The Las Vegas Strip isn’t in the City of Las Vegas.)<\/p>\n

Metropolitan Las Vegas has 2,227,053 residents. Using that number would certainly skew the “per capita” stat a bit.<\/p>\n

The number of restaurants used is 4,337. That’s all of Las Vegas (gleaned from TripAdvisor), not just in the City of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

We’d do a better calculation of the number of restaurants in Las Vegas per capita, but even that number would be wonky because many of these restaurants aren’t for residents, they’re for tourists.<\/p>\n

Speaking of wonky, the “restaurants per capita” report included what’s touted as the “top-rated local restaurant”: Yardbird Southern Table & Bar.<\/p>\n

Yeah, no.<\/p>\n

All due respect to Yardbird<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Yardbird
The devil theme continues with Yardbird’s deviled eggs with dill, chives and smoked trout roe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It looks like Business.org grabbed this information from Yelp<\/a>, which currently shows Bacchanal Buffet and Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen as first and second “most recommended,” with Yardbird third. The “highest-rated” Las Vegas restaurant on Yelp seems to be Bajamar Seafood & Tacos, whatever that might actually be.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to the question: Why did we even write about this in the first place?<\/p>\n

Oh, right, 666.<\/p>\n

If you add up all the numbers on a roulette table, they add up to 666. That’s why it’s sometimes referred to as the “devil’s game.”<\/p>\n

There. This wasn’t a complete waste of time. Probably.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
