If you’re considering doing brunch in Las Vegas for Mother’s Day, you’ve come to the right place according to a new list that places Sin City among the top “mom-friendly” U.S. cities for dining.

The restaurant reservations website OpenTable.com compiled its list of the “Top 25 Mom-Friendly Dining Cities” based on data from the website’s reservations and diner reviews from 2012, including the percentage of people who dined out for Mother’s Day, the percentage of restaurants rated “kid-friendly,” the percentage of restaurants rated “romantic” and the percentage of restaurants rated “hot spots.”

Las Vegas placed 10th on the list, trailing, among others, Charlotte, N.C., and Houston. Long Beach, Calif., took the top spot.

"And, it's very clear from the number of folks dining out locally on Mother's Day that area restaurants have mastered the art of pampering mothers and pleasing their palates."
