Does anyone here have any experience with or other opinions about any of the culinary schools in Las Vegas? I am more interested in a career as a personal or private chef or food writing than restaurant work, if that matters.
I'm moving to Las Vegas so I'm only interested in culinary schools there.
Please advise, thanks!

The biggest one is the Le Cordon Bleu/ Las Vegas Culinary Institute... my friend Michelle went there and that's what she does (personal chef)
UNLV has a pretty fair culinary program
There is another one called the Creative Cooking School of Las Vegas, but I don't know much about it
Oh and that national chain of Art Institutes has a culinary school here too

jacquelinepassey,
Check out Shaw Guides-Nevada.
UNLV has an excellent program if you are pursuing a B.S. in Culinary Arts Management.
However, since you are only interested in culinary schools, I would recommend that you attend a community college instead of a private culinary school such as CCSN's Culinary Arts-Program.
An alternative to school would be a 3-year apprenticeship program affiliated with the ACF. They are usually done in conjunction with a community college so that you would also earn an A.S. degree in Culinary Arts as well. Also contact the American Culinary Alliance.

If you're looking to just take a few classes, Chef Rubber does some pastry classes. I didn't see it on the website, but when I went there they mentioned it. They have a very nice kitchen setup.
