Recommendations for Las Vegas resturant for party
 

I'm beginning to plan a "destination" wedding in Las Vegas with about 30-40 guests, and would like some recommendations for a nice resturant for a post-ceremony dinner. I want to stay away from a banquet type atmosphere- but a place that has an intimate feel, high quality food, and festive atmosphere. There's so many choices in the guides and on the web, that I could use a little help.

I went to a Las Vegas wedding about 2 years ago. The couple was married at The Riviera and afterwards our party of 20 ate at the restaurant there. I know that The Riviera is not one of the "newer" hotels there, but honestly it was a fabulous meal and it was a very nice restaurant. Most of the guests had lobster and then at the end they served these great bonbons on dry-ice (I guess?) for dessert that "spilled" smoke all over the table, it was neat and I still have the pictures. From what I can remember the restaurant was somewhat small, and 30-40 people might reserve the entire place, but then again my memory could be bad by now! There are probably more "trendy" places to be though, I guess, but that was my experience there and it was a good one.

Kristin, <BR>Where are you staying and is it the same place that you are having the ceremony? <BR>There are plenty of great places that could fit your need at one of several hotels. A sense of your price range would help narrow the list.

My nephew got married last summer at the Flamingo Hilton. The wedding dinner was held at a restaurant called Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris Hotel. The service, food and ambiance were perfect. There were about 25 of us, but I'm sure they can accommodate more. I highly recommend Mon Ami Gabi. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

For someplace fun with good food, you might want to consider a wedding reception at the Voo Doo Lounge at the Rio Hotel.
