MIX

What can one not say about Mix? The view from the top of THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay is fantastic. The view inside is fantastic. And the cusine by Alain Ducasse . . . well I've not had a disappointment in several visits. Mind you this is not the best view available at a Ducasse Restaurant. The Jules Verne on the second deck of the Eiffel Tower in Paris wins that one hands down. Mix comes in a close second. But what you do get is the stellar cusine of Ducasse at a fraction of what you would pay at one of his Paris or Monte Carlo locations.

The serving portions are probably the smallest in a town known for excesses. They're way larger though than what you would see in Ducasse's European establishments however and our waiter advised that they had to increase them from when they first opened.

The restaurant also includes a huge bar that is quite separate from the dining area. There is also outdoor seating available for the not too faint of heart.

Even if you don't go for dinner... you MUST go to experience the night time 'view' [have drinks at the bar]. And in our experience, the restaurant lives up to the setting. Mix and Michael Mina [at Bellagio] are our favorites.
