Where is a good place to eat in Vegas?

Question

For a total check of about $50 a person. A place that serves a variety of stuff including chicken and steaks. We will be having dinner after my mother's wedding on a Friday evening. She wantes someplace pretty nice, with a good view, perhaps? The party is about 10 people.

Answer 1

How about the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris.

You can get a view of the fountains at Bellagio.

Also there's a restaurant at the top of the Stratosphere. Zagat rates 21/30 on food, and $60 per person avg.

Since you have 10, make reservations ASAP.

I have not been to either of these places. I have been to Alize at the top of The Palms, but that is more pricey. Also Mix at Mandalay Bay, I haven't been, and it's probably pricey too.

Answer 2

I live here. i like Jason_ont's answer. I have been to 2 of the ones he mentioned. Also, the Stratosphere was mentioned. It's really nice, quite different, and 10 people is a nice size....not too many. Make a reservation, and you will have no problem, most likely.

My most favorite is the Capital Grill at the Fashon Show Mall, overlooking the strip.... Food is PERFECT, price, around 40 to 50 dollars each, and the view is SPECTACULAR. Steaks, Lamb, Seafood........again, a reservation makes it all come together nicely!

Answer 3

1. Kokomo's in the Mirage
2. The Palm in The Caesar's Palace Forum Shops
3. Smith and Wollensky

Answer 4

Most of the hotels have nice restaurants in them.....and some have really nice views. I have never been up, but I think there is a restaurant at the top of the Stratosphere.

Answer 5

Lone Star.

Description: Another concept of the creative minds behind the Il Fornaio trattoria-bakeries that began in the San Francisco Bay area and spread across California and Nevada, this eatery presents a Venetian menu served beside the ersatz Grand Canal and St. Marks Square of The Venetian’s indoor re-creation of Italy. The view from its 300-seat patio includes the square's lively shows. The open kitchen, with a marble counter and big-flame pizza oven, dominates the back of the restaurant, designed for cozy dining. A winding staircase takes guests to a mezzanine with a plush reception room, a sparkling marble-topped bar, several rooms to accommodate private parties, and views of the shops and square below. Among starters, we like the polenta squares with six toppings---spicy sausage, shrimp, smoked salmon, asparagus and Gorgonzola, and porcini mushrooms with white truffle oil. Try the calzone filled with mozzarella, mushrooms, ricotta, ham and tomato sauce. The risotto with shrimp, scallops, calamari, brandy and black squid ink is a winner. Carnivores like the rack of lamb with thyme and garlic served with fingerling potatoes and sautéed spinach. As with all of the Il Fornaio outlets, the breads and pastries are scrumptious. Save room for the Treviso-style tiramisu and the chilled zabaglione with baicoli cookies, fresh berries, Bellini sorbet and whipped cream.

Description: This sparkling restaurant serves hearty portions of flavorful Asian cuisine, most of which is prepared on teppan broilers in the exhibition kitchen. The unique tea bar offers a range of exotic teas. Among specialties are dim sum; hot pots for two to four diners; and golden brown wok-prepared whole fish-of-the-day with ginger, leek and carrots, and Japanese mirin sauce with rice wine vinegar. We like the abalone with black mushroom in a light oyster sauce. Go for the Yu Hsiang shredded pork with green and red bell peppers, bamboo shoots and scallions cooked in spicy sauce. Roast duck offers the succulent taste without the high fat content. Wash down the savory fare with a Jade special---melon liqueur with jade-hued coconut and pineapple juice.

Description: Grandmother's recipes are the centerpiece here. Grandpa Samson, in the grocery business all his life, helped with the décor. The spectacular antipasto bar is a testament to his good taste. You can also order wood-fired pizzas and calzones, paninis on wood-fired rolls served with garlic-roasted potatoes or Caesars salad, and pastas including spaghetti puttanesca with garlic and olives. Among hearty oak-fired grilled entrées, carnivores like the 32-ounce La Florentina porterhouse steak marinated in olive oil, garlic, rosemary and grilled. We like the brick oven-baked in white wine or grilled fresh fish such as salmon with pesto sauce. For dessert, go for the crème di Mamma, a bowl of vanilla custard topped with soft caramel.

Description: When Piero Selvaggio of Valentino does an Italian restaurant, he does it right. This charming companion adjacent to the entrance of the ultra-swank Valentino is designed in a casual, chic Mediterranean style, complete with a wine bar, tiny bar tables huddled up against a divider, and a spacious but understated dining area done in breezy earth tones. What makes this place special are its accessibility and its modest pricing. Among our favorite appetizers are the savory grilled tomato and cheese pizza and garlicky bruschetta topped with fresh tomato. Main dishes run from the familiar (a lasagna alla Bolognese) to the rustic (swordfish steak with a tomato, olive and caper salad), and even to the luxurious (a terrific veal osso buco with saffron risotto cakes). For dessert, don't miss the mango ice cream cake with mango salad or panna cotta with fresh fruit soup and passion fruit sorbet, and finish with a three-ounce pour of moscato d’Asti.
