Anthony Bourdain Uncovers Non-Sucky Venice

Venice is among Europe's most visited cities, and for many travelers it's also one of the most disappointing, once they realize this ancient city-state is chock full of cruise ship passengers, overpriced tourist traps, $100 gondola rides and, as Anthony Bourdain so succinctly puts, beaches that attract "a who's who of international douche-dom."

On this week's "No Reservations," Bourdain is the latest traveler intent on finding that non-touristy, trapped-in-time Venice. You know, the one that doesn’t suck.

Surviving AC: The Celebrity Chef Invasion

Who goes to Atlantic City? We sent Neal Ungerleider to find out.

With Atlantic City casinos in a competitive frenzy for guests' dollars, everyone needs a gimmick. It seems like Caesars has found a successful niche of its own: Hosting television food show-related events.

We arrived in Atlantic City during the Toast to the Coast festival, which trotted out celebrity chefs/cooking personalities Roland Meisner, Ingrid Hoffman and Guy Fieri for cooking demos and offered a live show with Giada De Laurentiis. There was also the chance to meet Hoffmann and Fieri at a pool party over at Harrah's (whose previous guests include both Kim Kardashian and Tila Tequila), along with a food expo and several other events spread throughout Harrah's Atlantic City properties.

Tony Bourdain Flies Continental

At least he did on his latest trip into Rome. From our new favorite iPhone-carrying tipster:

Saturday. 8 am Rome time. At Fiumincino, Anthony Bourdain gets his and his family's luggage. The stars are just like us. Flew Continental from Newark, my flight, saw him on it.

Clearly Bourdain should be happy that checked bags are free on transatlantic flights. Maybe he's in town to check out the awesome eats?
