Restaurant Guy Savoy
Caesars Palace
3570 Las Vegas Blvd. South
877-346-4642
Caesars Palace on Harrah's - Hotels, Resorts and Casinos
The idea of opening his first restaurant outside Paris was somewhat daunting—there was, after all, the reputation born of three Michelin stars—so Guy Savoy tapped his son, Franck, and daughter-in-law, Laura, to run things in Las Vegas. The result is a small (75-seat), minimalist space that evokes the Paris original, a menu that does likewise, with such Savoy classics as artichoke and black truffle soup, oysters in ice gelée, and crispy veal sweetbreads, and a 15,000-bottle wine cellar. As in the other top-tier Las Vegas restaurants, deep pockets are required (the ten-course tasting menu is $290 without wine, although there's a $190 four-course option and an à la carte menu as well). Oh, and the Las Vegas version has something its Parisian sister lacks: a view of the Eiffel Tower.

Sweep down the grand staircase to enter executive chef Alex Stratta's award-winning Franco-Italian temple of the seasonal and organic, featuring artisanal foods sourced from small farms in nearby Arizona and Utah. The five-course tasting menu and three-course prix-fixe option ($195 and $145, respectively) reflect Stratta's genius for bringing together jewel-sized portions of intense, seemingly disparate but always complementary flavors, as in the roasted veal sweetbreads with fettuccine carbonara and aged Parmigiano, or roasted sea scallops with white asparagus, pink grapefruit, and sea urchin. The dining room is elegant, with details that extend to upholstered "seats" for handbags. The 950-bottle wine list includes many selections from boutique wineries and service from a fleet of unobtrusive professionals isn't just great, it's flawless.

Joël Robuchon and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon
MGM Grand

Joël Robuchon—dubbed Chef of the Century in his native France—made his Las Vegas splash with not one but two restaurants, both at the MGM Grand. The more intimate and upscale eatery, Joël Robuchon, has 6- and 16-course ($225 and $360, without wine, respectively) tasting menus and features such dishes as crispy soft-boiled egg with smoked salmon and caviar, and black truffle in hot pastry with onions and smoked ham. The larger L'Atelier is less expensive and more casual (with the option of seating at a counter that wraps around the open kitchen) but the culinary standards are equally high; there's a tasting menu plus à la carte selections; expect $125 per person. Who knew that lowly mashed potatoes could taste this good?

Seafood from the desert? Of course not; the fish at Paul Bartolotta's elegant restaurant arrive fresh from the Mediterranean, which means they probably have a better travel agent than you do. Whole fish are brought to the table for inspection. Choose one and it'll be stuffed with herbs and roasted, then boned and filleted at the table. Fish are served with sauces—perhaps tomato chunks with arugula, olive oil, and garlic—and side dishes like roasted potatoes, and unforgettable zucchini (yes, really) with olive oil, garlic, and parsley. Other choices include pastas (some with seafood, some without) and, yes, meat and poultry, such as guinea hen with artichokes and asparagus. Family-style dinners run $135 and $155 per person; entrées are in the upper-$40 range.

Stripsteak
3950 Las Vegas Blvd. South
702-632-7414

This is the first steakhouse from Michael Mina, long known for his seafood and as proprietor of Las Vegas restaurants Michael Mina Bellagio and Nobhill and Seablue at MGM Grand. He experimented extensively before opening this venture, where the menu includes a number of poached meats that are nothing like a New England boiled dinner. Mina's secret: slow poaching (beef in butter, lamb in olive oil, pork in bacon fat, poultry in duck fat) and finishing on a hot grill for oh-so-juicy meat with a lovely crust. But be assured that Stripsteak offers plenty of seafood as well. Entrées average in the mid-$40 range. And the lively space (designed by noted Japanese company Super Potato) features images rotated by ceiling-mounted projectors and resin impressions of a Singapore street, in case the mesquite-fired grills aren't visual enough for you.

Best Top Chef Restaurants In Las Vegas

You may have heard that the serious dining situation in Las Vegas has improved. Tremendously. The decades’ old belief that buffets were the best meals (and deals) in Sin City is as wrong today as it ever has been. Leading the charge of this remarkable renaissance are a veritable who’s who of global superstar chefs, all of whom have firmly established outposts in the suddenly foodie town of Las Vegas. We’re talking every significant chef in the Western Hemisphere has come to the gambling mecca to claim their own slice of the culinary pie. Below are some of the best in class. – Marco Medrano

What’s more classic, wealthy and establishment “American” than a thick slab of perfectly aged meat served at a clubby, pricey steakhouse? Nothing, that’s what. And, in Las Vegas, steakhouses are nearly as ubiquitous as roulette tables, so telling them apart could be a tad challenging. Here’s a helpful clue: Go straight to “Top Chef” head judge Tom Colicchio’s carnivore masterpiece, Craftsteak, known for its extensive selection of Kobe and Wagyu beef. Perfection. Hours: Monday through Sunday, 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. Summer hours may vary.

What could be possibly so elegant, interesting or memorable about a restaurant that features mainly small plates? Well, if that restaurant happens to be named after and directed by one of the best chefs on the planet, Julian Serrano, and those small plates happen to be Spanish tapas and the restaurant is housed in the architecturally breathtaking Aria Hotel and Casino, nothing could be more elegant, interesting and memorable. Every delectable bite coming from the kitchen shares the expert Serrano touch. This is the meal you’ll remember long after the blackjack dealer squeezed that last $100 bill out of your wallet. Hours: Monday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The very definition of celebrity chef, Kerry Simon brings his cooking wizardry to the very modern and very festive Palms Place, just off The Strip. The restaurant is known the world over as a hot spot where the bad boy/rock ‘n’ roll Simon holds court and dazzles with every inventive dish. If you’re one of Simon’s favorite guests, he may even throw in his signature “junk food platter,” boasting pink cotton candy, mini sundaes and malted shakes. Junk food never tasted quite like this. Simon is now even offering breakfast. Hours: Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Delmonico at the Venetian(steakhouse, ribeye is just insane)
Mesa Grill at Ceasers

Did not care for craftsteak compared to delmonico. I usually stay at MGM so I have eaten at a few there. Just an FYI all of the French places at MGM are super fancy. I don't mind paying for a good meal but gtfo for a $100+ entree.

lunch- serendipity(ceasars), in and out burger(oh man, i love that place, depending on when you fly in, hit that place up for a quick bite on your way to hotel)

[Bouncer]

Craftsteak was no good or just pricey or what?

[FitnessBrat]

I get what rado is saying. And yes, I've been to Vegas multiple times. When I go there, I know I'm spending very minimal time in my room. There is SO much to do there, and I like to be on the go. Like I said, I stayed at the Luxor, and I'd easily stay there again. Very nice hotel, nice casino, nice pool, etc. He doesn't mean stay at the Excalibur for $29 a night, but $400 a night isn't necessary (there), either. Vegas is full of life, you're not supposed to be holed up in your hotel :P

It seems menstrual synchrony has afflicted the board

[FitnessBrat]

If you do a buffet, check out Bellagio's. It's like $40 a person and has everything under the sun. King crab, Elk prime rib, "different" things like that.

Rado and I agree on very little most of the time :P
