Vegas Evening out
 
My wife and I are going to the Bellagio the first week in May for our anniversary; we made a deal to book each other a surprise evening to enjoy together. I believe she is booking us a show to a comedian or a magician. I now need a good idea for my evening for her. Romance is the key.

For a nice dinner I would recommend checking out Top of the World at the top of Stratosphere. I had an AMAZING price fixe menu there. Great views, the restaurant rotates around. Spend time in the lounge prior to dinner too - very low romantic lighting.

The Voodoo Lounge in the Rio is nice. The restaurant is on the top of the hotel, wrap around windows and a glass elevator..the view is amazing !
The food/ambience is Mardi Gras/Cajun and the seafood is very good.
They have shows at the Rio, you can check and see if there is something there for after dinner..

We always stay at the Bellagio and while it is not terribly romantic in a girly way :) I liked Prime, we had an anniversary dinner there once. It is a beautiful room, view of the fountains if you ask ahead, food is very very good..quiet and elegant room compared to some more noisy places.
We like Circo but it is not so very romantic , just pretty, view of fountains and very good food. Never had a bad meal there..and last anniversary there, they gave us lovely after dinner drinks to toast our 100 yr married :D
Happy Anniversary!!

Thanks to both of you; neither the Top of the World or The Voodoo Lounge were on my radar. I will give both places a look on line.

If you really want to surprise her (and have some money to burn), you could book a helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon and have dinner there. I'm pretty sure there are packages for this, but I have no idea who does it or how much it costs.

Way to think out of the box Weasel! My wife would be way to frightened to enjoy a helicopter ride; she self medicates for commercial air, but that is the kind of thinking I could benefit from. Please if anyone has any others let me know.

I'd love to go here for a romantic Old Vegas experience:

For dinner I recommend either the Eiffel
Tower restaurant at the Paris or Todd English's Olives at the Bellagio but only if you can get outdoor seating. The fountain show from there will wow her and the food is fantastic.

I'll second the VooDoo Lounge. DH and I went last year and loved it so we went again just last weekend and it was even better than we remembered it. Wonderful food, amazing view and a fantastic atmosphere. Good luck-have fun!

I'll third The VooDoo Lounge.

I've never eaten there but always have had a blast.

It is a nightclub for adults which is a nice thing.

We typically go to Olives once or twice a trip to vegas. It would have never occurred to me to look at the Voodoo Lounge I will do some research on the menu. Thanks

How about a couples massage at the spa late afternoon to get you in a dreamy/romantic mood for your evening out?
