Joel Robuchon at The Mansion
The first and youngest chef to ever win three Michelin stars, Robuchon’s restaurant at the MGM Grand does not come cheap. It does, however, serve up the best French food in North America according to many critics. Sophisticated palates will enjoy an onslaught of flavours, with many ingredients flown in from France. A true, once in a lifetime dining experience.

Le Cirque
It has stood for 30 years as a temple to gastronomy for the New York City dining scene, though its sister location inside the Bellagio has garnered an equally vaulted reputation. Restaurateur Sirio Maccioni brings a touch of the ringmaster to this jewel that sits along the lake overlooking the Fountains of Bellagio. The set menu is served underneath a silk-tented ceiling that accents the polished wood interior. Reservations required. No lunch.

Twist
Situated on the 23rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is the first U.S. restaurant by world-renowned, three-star Michelin Chef Pierre Gagnaire. The menu infuses the simplicity of classic French cuisine with a modern spin, relying on a pairing of flavors and textures for which Gagnaire is renowned. 300 illuminated globes light up the ceiling, reflecting the lights of Vegas below.

Chart House
Part of the new Rush Tower development at the Golden Nugget Hotel, Chart House is immediately striking, with its 75,000 gallon aquarium integrated into the interior design. The menu is also predominantly aquatic in nature, with macadamia-crusted mahi and Lobster Francese heading up the signature dishes. The tropical fish floating around among the tables make for a relaxing atmosphere, a world away from the frantic casino downstaurs.

Delmonico Steakhouse
Emeril Lagasse's offering at the Venetian Hotel delivers New Orleans-style cuisine that emphasises the finest in American-style cuts of meat. From bone-in ribeye steak to Delmonico chicken-for-two carved tableside, every dish is personally designed by Emeril, and bears his signature style. The traditional oak-wood surroundings are formal yet intimate, which sets a perfect atmosphere for those attending to serious business.

Gonzalez y Gonzalez
With its ‘fiesta' atmosphere of candy-filled piñata toys and brightly lit courtyard dining, Gonzalez in the New York-New York Hotel and Casino is probably just as popular for its selection of traditional Mexican drinks as for its food. Typical dishes include the more stereotypical Mexican dishes of burritos, enchiladas and tacos (corn or flour tortillas filled with a choice of meat, vegetables and a spicy sauce).

Cabo Wabo Cantina
Set inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, this two-level nightclub and restaurant replaces the highly visible location previously occupied by Trader Vic’s. Offering a blend of live music and coastal Mexican fare, Cabo Wabo Cantina features traditional and contemporary selections inspired by Cabo San Lucas as well as a cocktail menu with a heavy emphasis on tequila.

JJ's Boulangerie
This small, open French-style bakery with terrace seating serves both pastries and freshly made sandwiches. Set on the edge of a Parisian-style promenade, the bakery is a great place to people watch while sipping a cappuccino. There is also an ice cream and confectionery counter featuring various light desserts at the back of the store.

Veranda Cafe and Lounge, Clarion Emerald Springs
Designed to accommodate both casual and more formal dining, the Veranda is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The absence of a casino and throngs of vacationers at the Emerald Springs makes this a comfortable setting for business dining. Evening specials often include prime rib or New York steak and the lounge also features a happy hour with hot and cold appetisers.
