Las Vegas Restaurants
 

I am usually a poster on the Asia Africa site but we are going to Las Vegas next week for my "big" birthday. I am looking for a list of favorite restaurants.

I have been to several new ones in the hotels, but wonder if there are still some old or new favorites.

My favorite restaurant is "Top of The World" at the Stratosphere. Althought the hotel is cheesy, the restaurant is beautiful. Best view anywhere. Make reservations around twilight time. The food is very good. I have been there many, many times and have never been disappointed. Just don't walk down there. It's not a great neighborhood. Take a taxi or drive.

Listed below are places that we are at last week while in Vegas and enjoyed our meals:

Grand Lux Cafe - Venetian
McCormick and Schmick's - E. Flamingo (restaurant.com has certificates)
Bahama Breeze - E. Flamingo
Dan Marino's - Hooter's
California Pizza Kitchen - Mirage
New Mexican Restaurant -South Pointe

My favorites are:
STACK at the Mirage (American Cuisine)
Pearl at MGM Grand (Chinese)
Voodoo Steak and Lounge at the Rio (Cajun influenced steakhouse with a great view of the Strip)
Social House at TI (pan-Asian)
Tao (pan-Asian)

We were there this past weekend and tried the "Bubble Bar" just outside the fairly new Restaurant Guy Savoy in the Augustus Tower of Ceasar's Place. We really enjoyed the "small bites" of Guy Savoy's food that we go without the spending the $190 per person for his 3 course meal in the restaurant itself. Prime French Champagne and small bites is a great combination, but still not inexpensive.

Grand Luxe (Cheesecake Factory's upscale concept)
The VooDoo Lounge

However, there are five or six at The Wynn I would like to try.

Try breakfast at Bellagio. They have a wonderful lobster/asparagus omelette.

Is the Beef Baron still at Flamingo? I haven't been there for a number of years (although I have been to Vegas within the last couple of years). The Beef Baron had the most wonderful steaks!

I liked Daniel Bouloud (sp?) in the Wynn.

Tasting menu at Emerils Fish House in MGM Grand.

Bellagio buffet

My favorite so far is Emeril's Fish House at the MGM.
Alize at the Palms is wonderful, excellent special occasion spot.
