Fodor's Review:
Arguably the biggest name in contemporary French cuisine, chef Joël Robuchon came out of retirement to open two massively hyped (and some say criminally overpriced) side-by-side restaurants at the MGM Grand in 2005. L'Atelier, less formal though still highly refined, offers à la carte entrées plus a long list of small "tasting" portions (such as crispy langoustine fritters with basil pesto, and free-range quail stuffed with foie gras) that let you create your own fantasy meal. But it's the Mansion that has every foodie in Vegas buzzing. For the ultimate gastronomical rush, you can spring $360 for the full tasting menu; less expensive versions with fewer courses are also available. The cuisine changes daily and includes such rarefied creations as panfried sea bass with lemongrass foam and stewed baby leeks. This is one impressive operation, but a number of stellar restaurants in town deliver a similar caliber of service and food at half the price.
