$$$$, American, Mandalay Bay Resort and 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.
