Fodor's Review:

Super chef Alessandro Stratta serves his high-end French Riviera cuisine to the well-heeled at this drop-dead-gorgeous dining room, reached via a grand staircase. Stratta's four-course prix-fixe menu ($145) and seasonal tasting menu ($325, with wine pairings) are not for the meek of wallet, but the artfully presented food here absolutely delivers. Specialties include foie gras ravioli in a truffle bouillon with duck confit salad and wild turbot with salsifis (an herb whose edible root has an oysterlike taste), black truffles, almonds, and a red wine sauce. Dessert tends toward the fanciful, including a wonderful chocolate-banana malt with caramel-and-macadamia brittle ice cream. This is one Vegas restaurant you might want to dress your best for—jackets aren't required but are suggested.

I have eaten at Alex twice and I rank it as one of the best restaurants that I have visited. The room is dramatically decorated with lots of red, which is consistent with the resort's color scheme. Seating is very comfortable. Service is very attentive without being obtrusive. Diners can choose from a tasting and a la carte menu. Selection is very limited but all dishes are exceptionally well done. The wine list is very good including some very good selections by the glass. Make sure to save room for Jennifer Fournier's excellent deserts. The bag of Alex cookies on your way out is a great touch. The only minor issue is that unlike Le Cirque, Alex does not offer wine pairings with the a la carte menu. One of the most expensive restaurants in the city, but Alex rates five stars in all important aspects.

Pros: Excellent setting, food, and service
Cons: No wine pairings offered with the a la carte menu.

We just returned from Vegas ans decided to splurge one night at chose Alex. We had high hopes and expectations and even these were exceeded. Our waiter and the entire staff took incredible care of us. Their wine suggestions were superb as well as their dining suggestions. Alessandro Stratta is still on-site and we were lucky enough to have him come out to say hello and ask how our meal was. Overall, one of the best dining experiences I have ever had from top to bottom. If you are in the mood for a high end night out I can not say enough.
