So Much to Do with So Little Time in Vegas...
See All Lists
1. Aria Hotel & Casino
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 590-7757
Smoke and mirrors. I had high expectations for my stay at the new ARIA; however, having been transferred to it one week before check-in via lack of inventory at Vdara even though the Vdara reservations had been confirmed more than a month in…More »
2. Bar Moderno
It didn't even seem like the waitresses here were working at the same resort as those in the other bars at the ARIA. Bar Moderno is more in the center of the casino and in front of the room elevators. We visited this section twice, and both times…More »
3. Bartolotta Ristorante Di Mare
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 770-3463
In keeping with the whimsical nature of the Wynn Resort, this two-story restaurant is elegantly designed and decorated, with an open, airy feel and special dining outdoors by "Lake of Dreams" under cabanas and misters.
Service was a bit stuffy, and we…More »
4. Beso Steakhouse
The potential is there...they just haven't reached a high point, or middle point yet. It is a beautiful setting, as one would expect of a place boasting of Ms. Longoria's name. But salt does not make a bad meal better. Beso was the 180 degree…More »
5. Blossom
Wow, no thanks. The food here was tasteless. I tried very hard to convince myself and my table of colleagues that Blossom was aiming for the highly refined palate, and we were to "experience the essence of ginger" in our very bland potstickers.…More »
6. Bouchon
The existing reviews pretty much tell all...this is a beautiful, quiet space for any meal, but especially sweet outside on a sunny Spring day with fragrant flowers in the garden in bloom. We had a pricey, but deliicious breakfast. As far as "value"…More »
7. The Cafe At The Drugstore
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 770-7000
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: The Strip
The Drugstore is located at the casino level of the Wynn and open 24 hours. It has the usual variety of items you forgot to pack for your trip, as well as a wide selection of boutique bath and body products, candles, souvenirs, AND (listen up) a…More »
8. Café Vettro
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(877) 230-2742
Categories:
American (New),
Cafes,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Most of the previous reviewers will be astounded that I chose to give Cafe Vettro 4 stars, but allow me to explain.
Compared to the rest of the service received during my stay at ARIA, our waitress was amazing -- friendly, fast, helpful, thoughtful…More »
9. Canyon Ranch Cafe
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 414-3633
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Tired of eating overly salted, heavy food? Order some tasty spa cuisine from the Canyon Ranch Cafe. The portions are typically small, and prices are just okay for Vegas (i.e., I had three chicken potstickers, the turkey and curry soup, an ahi tuna…More »
10. Canyon Ranch SpaClub
I really wanted to like this place, but it fell short of expectations. Yes, it has a rock-climbing wall, and everything else, but the ambiance lacked that soothing quality you need for relaxation and the massages are mediocre. Either the Canyon…More »
11. Chocolat by Frederic Robert - CLOSED
Before leaving Las Vegas, I bought a few chocolates from this place in the Wynn Esplanade to try back at home. White chocolate with fruit and nuts, hazelnut praline wrapped in dark chocolate, dark chocolate disks the size of my palm...and one word…More »
12. KA by Cirque Du Soleil
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(866) 740-7711
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhoods: The Strip, Eastside
Our first Cirque du Soleil show...and it was amazing. I have a difficult time getting my guy to see anything that doesn't involve muscle cars or racing -- and just any "hint of a nutsack" and he's outta there. Needless to say, Stars on Ice and the…More »
13. Cirque du Soleil - Mystère
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(800) 392-1999
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhood: The Strip
As with all Cirque du Soleil shows, the performance and acrobats are amazing in Mystere. The setting is not as impressive as the other shows, though, and the baby act was not interesting to our group at all. However, the variety of shows is what…More »
14. Cirque du Soleil - Viva ELVIS
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 590-7757
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Had this show been put on by any other group it would have earned 4 stars for the excellent coverage of Elvis' life and his rise to stardom. But since it was performed by Cirque du Soleil, I can see why many were disappointed. Without the daring…More »
15. City Bar
The City Bar is located at the north end of the ARIA, next to Jean Phillippe. It's a nice, cozy section of the ARIA with comfortable seating, not as loud and crowded as other parts of the casino, and the waitresses don't have to walk far to serve…More »
16. CityCenter
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 590-7757
Categories:
Hotels,
Restaurants
Neighbourhood: The Strip
You have to give kudos to MGM for creating a sustainable, environmentally conscious space with the 65 acres they had available to them. CityCenter is one of the largest green developments in the world with 6 LEED Gold certifications. I believe I…More »
17. Corsa Cucina - CLOSED
Did you get into a fight with your spouse? Upset with a friend who stole the gal you planned on asking out for a date? Want to ensure revenge via fast-acting gut bomb?
Take him (or her) to Corsa for an overpriced meal that will, literally, *leave*…More »
18. The Coffee Shop
Las Vegas, NV 89136
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Compared to other 24-hour casino cafes, The Coffee Shop at Treasure Island does a decent job with quick service, presentation and quality of food. The fruit plate was overpriced as expected, but the variety was good and came with three slices of…More »
19. The Cupcakery
I was actually dancing in the hallway when I saw all the unexpected, beautiful cupcakes ahead of me. We picked up two red velvets, an Oh - My Gosh, Ganache!, and a coconut vanilla. Unfortunately, the cupcakes look way better than they taste. The…More »
20. Crystals
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 590-5570
Category:
Shopping Centers
Neighbourhood: The Strip
One of the objectives of the new CityCenter is to create "dynamic public spaces." Crystals meets this objective pretty well, in a pretty fashion. Its architecture and design were created to inspire exploration, and with so few places along the…More »
21. Crystals Place
One of the objectives of the new CityCenter is to create "dynamic public spaces." Crystals Place is a public art collection located on the main drive into CityCenter. You'll find wonderful examples by Rodney Lough, Jr., Dale Chihuly in "the…More »
22. Delights Gourmet Delicatessen
Delights Cafe just started serving breakfast the week we arrived for our stay at The Signature. They offer a selection of baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and gelato/ice cream, along with drinks and other snack items. We were highly impressed with…More »
23. Encore Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 770-7000
My favorite hotel in Vegas is the Encore. Everything about our stay was excellent. I think the Encore has the best, most comfortable beds in town.
Although a bit smaller than the Wynn, this makes the lay-out of the resort easier to remember. I like…More »
24. Fashion Show Mall
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 369-0704
Category:
Shopping Centers
Neighbourhood: The Strip
This place is huge! I can see the whole lay-out from the top of the Wynn. The seven flagship stores are Saks Fifth Avenue, Dillard's, Neiman Marcus, Robinsons-May, Nevada's only Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's Home, plus over 250 other shops and…More »
25. Grand Lux Cafe
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 414-3888
Categories:
American (New),
Desserts,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: The Strip
We opted to order breakfast off the menu rather than hit the buffet. I think it was a good move, as the blueberry pancakes were great and the scrambled eggs were fresh (but covered in butter). Also, if you like smoothies, they make them in nice…More »
26. Grand Spa
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 891-3077
The MGM Grand Spa is a nice facility with warm, earth-tone decor and every amenity you can think of, including cold bottled water, fruits, granola bars and teas to enjoy while relaxing in the lounge area. The women's side of the spa was a bit…More »
27. Julian Serrano
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(877) 230-2742
Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Spanish
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Our last meal in Vegas found us walking into Julian Serrano out of sheer convenience. If you've read any of my reviews at ARIA, you'll know that I couldn't wait to leave, much less rush back to my room after an uninspiring massage to check out and…More »
28. Lemongrass
Not bad for Vegas. We enjoyed a variety of different dishes here, although I was not impressed with the silver noodles. The Tom Yum Goong was good, and the rice dumpling dessert was excellent. Our servers could have been more relaxed, but we had…More »
29. Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas
A friend of mine celebrated New Year's Eve here and raved about the view from the 23rd floor lobby. We had to stop by and take a look ourselves. What can I say? It was lovely, indeed.
30. Mandarin Oriental Tea Lounge
Las Vegas, NV 89158
(702) 590-8888
Category:
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: The Strip
One of the nicest places in Vegas to sit and relax. The Tea Lounge is a beautiful, peaceful spot for exotic Asian-influenced teas and light desserts such as scones and tea cakes. I would have liked more privacy between the tables, as the lounge is…More »
31. Mozen Bistro
Las Vegas, NV 89158
(888) 881-9367
Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: The Strip
The MOzen Bistro puts the "zen" in the Mandarin Oriental. Well, it's one of many reasons. Zen seems to ooze from every surface at this hotel.
MOzen serves up beautifully plated and high quality dishes at Vegas prices. However, the flavors and…More »
32. New York-New York
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(866) 815-4365
We haven't stayed at New York-New York, but we have walked through it several times. The casino action seems more active and "fun" than many other places in Vegas. We love the New York-style pretzels that are available on the second floor next to…More »
33. Okada - CLOSED
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 770-3463
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Okada hosts a combination of a sushi bar; a robatayaki, or Japanese charcoal grill; the main dining room; and the teppanyaki room with four teppanyaki stations.
The sushi and sashimi dishes were good quality but not any better than the average "pretty…More »
34. Pinot Brasserie
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 414-8888
Categories:
Steakhouses,
French
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Why this place has not been rated yet is a mystery to me. Joachim Splichal transported his Pinot restaurant from LA to The Venetian, and it is one of the classiest places in town. Elegant dark wood, brass and copper accents, mirrors, and other…More »
35. Postrio
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 796-1110
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Wolfgang Puck's establishment at The Venetian meets the standards we've come to associate with his food. Pizza, pasta and seafood are plentiful and reasonably priced. Decent bottles of wine can also be had for about $30 a bottle. Postrio is…More »
36. RM Seafood
Las Vegas, NV 89119
(702) 632-9300
Categories:
Seafood,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: The Strip
RM stands for Rick Moonen, one of New York's premier seafood chefs, who moved to Vegas to actually run this restaurant.
The top floor is the fine dining area, designed to resemble a luxury yacht. This is where our group enjoyed a spectacular meal…More »

Categories:
Desserts,
Bakeries,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: The Strip
I just found a dark chocolate peanut bar in my handbag...sweet surprise! The peanut filling was delicious, more salty than sweet, which was the perfect complement to JP's melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate. I have been spoiled, and will never be…More »

38. Samba Brazilian Steakhouse
Las Vegas, NV 89162
(866) 339-4566
Categories:
Brazilian,
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Don't come here for the real thing...this place doesn't hold a candle up to the likes of Fogo de Chau. Come here to have a relatively affordable, all-you-can-eat meal with lots of okay meat and sides, and some pretty potent drinks. The waiters are…More »
39. SEABLUE by Michael Mina
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 891-3486
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: The Strip, Eastside
Chef Mina made up for a rotten experience at Arcadia with our meal at Seablue. Remember that this is one of the more casual of the Mina empire, even though the service and presentation are as impeccable as in any of his restaurants. The open…More »
40. The Signature
We stayed in a junior suite in Tower 2 on the 38th floor (upper penthouse). The view was okay facing the Strip, but the Strip was a long block away and the giganormous Planet Hollywood on the cross-street (Harmon Ave.) directly next to the tower was…More »

Late Night Places (6)In search of places to eat after 9:00 pm, these are the restaurants where we often end up. |
O Canada (13)It could be the refreshing mountain air, the high altitude, or the fact that Canadian cooks are often of European descent. I found Rocky Mountain cuisine to be above-average delicious and the bread served at every restaurant was unique and awesome. |
Sherri's Bay Area Sushi and Sashimi Experiences (59)Fresh fish is not a luxury, but a must-have, and after downing this staple at least two or three times a week, I still don't have as extensive a list as I should. Maybe I need to up my intake frequency... |
The One-Star List (14)Most of the time I don't want to bother writing about the one-stars and when I do, it's probably because I wished I could give the place no stars or negative star ratings! |
