Las Vegas Restaurants
 
We'll be in Las Vegas only 3 nights in July. Haven't been there in 5-6 years.
Last time, our favorite restaurant was Prime in the Belliago Hotel. We are staying again at the Bellagio.

How about listing your favorite top 3 restaurants on the strip. Fodorites always know the best places to go.

My favorite meal on my last trip to Vegas was Sunday breakfast at Bouchon at the Venetian.
Have had excellent meals at Emeril's Fish House (though also had a mediocre meal once there too) and at Alize at the Palms.

I'd like to try Olive's at the Bellagio next time, as well as Table 10 at the Palazzo, and Little Buddha at the Palms.
Hope you'll get more answers, I'm planning for my next trip as well.

Just booked 1 night at Sensi at Bellagio---read great reviews on it, hope it lives up to them.

Any other suggestions welcome.

Also our come in to town off the plane at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris---it's always a winner.

Still have one night to fill before a show. Maybe somewhere at The Venetian.

Ellis Island Brewery, for the price of a meal at Joel Roubochon you can buy everyone in the casino a $5 steak dinner and a dozen microbrews for everyone. You'll be very popular!

Our favorites were Andre's Downtown, Bouchon, and the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. We thought Olives was dreadful.

For really good food that's inexpensive, we loved Victoria's at Bill's Gamblin' Hall.

just got back from vegas. Had good food at Table 10, but it also had no real ambiance or service. But had A great dinner at Daniel Buloud at the Wynn. Along w/ Bouchon, and Alize, Daniel Buloud was really memorable for us.

The Wynn is where the most action is these days. Can't go wrong at any particular restaurant. My faves are Bartalotta & Alex. Then the Japanese restaurant and SW.

We also had breakfast at Bouchon and were extremely disappointed. The $16 omelets and $25 burgers were not that good.

But the $11 bloody marys were great. I just wished the server had told us the price when recommending them to us.

Everything on the menu was twice the price it should have been and the quality was not up to Keller's usual standard.

We are big fans of Bouchon in Yountville but I don't think he gets to Vegas very often.

Most of the big name restaurants are rip-offs. They are essentially franchises with huge overheads. It is better to dine at the super star chef's home restaurants.

On a happier note, however, we did quite by accident eat at the Victorian Room at Bill's and had a very enjoyable and economical dinner.

We also enjoyed the Oyster Bar at Harrahs. Good food with large portions and good beer on tap.

Just ate at Bouchon last weekend and while my spouse liked his entree, my seafood was totally dry. I was expecting more because it has such good word of mouth.

I really liked the Sunday brunch at Bouchon better than the dinner we had, which was good, not great.
I agree that Wynn is where its at. Really has its act together.

Just so happens I'm trying Table 10 this saturday night, my fingers are now crossed!

Forgot to mention Charles Boulud.

I met Mr. Bartalotta from his restaurant, he is a very nice and humble man. He really impressed me. You expect chefs of multimillion dollar restarants to be a little snobby, he is just the opposite. A general good guy.
