$$$$, American, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino
Fodor's Review:
Celebrity chef Charlie Palmer re-created his famed New York restaurant for Mandalay Bay. He and designer Adam Tihany added a few playful, Las Vegas-style twists: a four-story wine tower, for example, holds 10,000 bottles that are reached by "wine fairies" who are hoisted up and down via a system of electronically activated pulleys. Seasonal specialties on the fixed-price menu might include French onion soup with foie gras, truffles, and Sonoma squab topped with seared foie gras and served in a preserved-cherry jus. For dessert try innovative offerings like citrus-scented cheesecake with huckleberry compote or crème brûlée ice cream with maple-brown sugar sauce.

The Best Meal
Posted by lisa1061 from Burbank, CA on 9/6/07
We had such a great dinner at Aureole. We sat in the Swan Court (such a beautiful room) and had the chefs tasting menu with wine pairing. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special meal. The food is amazing.Top Notch Meal

We had the tasting menu with wine pairings and found both to be exceptional. The staff fawned over us a little too much for our liking and we found some of the staff too hurried for a 5 star joint -- do you really have to throw the cutlery down on the table and run from guest to guest? Definitely 5 star food with 5 star prices, and 3 plus star service. Not a bad value compared with some of the other expensive restaurants on the strip. The wine cellar is a bit gimmicky, but we found it rather novel. The decor was nice and understated and they remembered that it was our anniversary, which was a nice touch. We would have preferred a more strictly enforced dress code and better behavior from the other patrons -- why do people wear jeans and t-shirts for an expensive meal out and shout like they're at a loud nightclub?? We would go back.
