Restaurant Name: Todai
It's an Asian/seafood buffet. Some things are exquisite -- others less so -- but with careful grazing you can have a delicious meal!
Favorite Dish: I loved the lemon shrimp and the little jellos with different squares of color. [So I'm simple-minded!]

Restaurant Name: The Pasta Shop
The restaurant is in a strip mall on Tropicana -- the food is good -- they make the fresh pasta for many of the hotels in town. The walls are covered with the fascinating mosaic and/or metal artwork of the owner's wife. So you can shop while you eat.
Favorite Dish: Any of the pastas:) They are homemade and FRESH! I had a delicious angel hair pomodoro. They also have nice wines by the glass.

Restaurant Name: La Salsa Cantina
In the heart of Desert Passage you can get great Mexican! It takes a bit of timing to catch the margarita fully lit! The location of the "outdoor" tables is superb -- right on the main square.

Restaurant Name: Valentino
Blonde wood and peach walls, white linens, walls of wine racks and 50s lighting fixtures add up to a very sophisticated California glamour. . The picture is of the Grill which you walk through to get to the restaurant itself. It didn't seem right to take a flash picture in the quiet, elegant space so I didn't :( . We were in the smaller back room, which seemed more chic. BTW I reserved Valentino on opentable.com.
Favorite Dish: My companion had a rack of lamb with a wonderful berry sauce. I had a thick black pepper-crusted veal chop resting on a fennel gratin. My appetizer was a composed salad with foie gras on top -- very nice.

Restaurant Name: Chinois
Chinois is a very attractive space -- colorful and full a interesting artifacts. It is located in The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace. It is one of Wolfgang Puck's many Las Vegas restaurants.
Favorite Dish: On a recent revisit the lunch specials had disappeared, but the food remained good. We shared some spring rolls and General Tsao's chicken. . We each had the lunch specials, which run from $15-17 USD plus drink. I had spring rolls, hot & sour soup [both ordinary] and a delicious shrimp curry. The picture is of the soup & springroll. My companion's appetizer was a delicious crab rangoon, for which I longed ....

Restaurant Name: Olives
A beautiful restaurant in the shopping area at Bellagio. It is open and light with a lot of tile -- which means it can get noisy when crowded. Todd English's original "Olives" was in Boston. . The restaurant has recently been redecorated.
Favorite Dish: The flatbreads are scrumptious -- try the Fig and Proscuitto one!

Restaurant Name: Pinot Brasserie
The decor is pure Paris restaurant -- wood, mirrors and terrific brass lighting fixtures. The severs wear the traditional apron. There are a number of different rooms, each a little different, but all very charming.
Favorite Dish: The food is traditional Parisian bistro/brasserie with a modern California twist. There is also an oyster bar. . They also serve breakfast -- gotta love those brioches :))))

hunterV Tue Apr 17, 2007 19:34 UTC Hi, Sally, your pages have always attracted me! Thanks a lot for your great work and sharing! | KimberlyAnn Tue Nov 14, 2006 00:08 UTC Nice tips, it looks like the Venetian is a must. It is nice to see someone who isn't afraid to say the Ceasar's Palace is over blown---very helpful, think we will skip that one. | ATXtraveler Mon Aug 21, 2006 09:30 UTC Any clue what happened to Dr. Devito? | whitecliff62 Wed Mar 29, 2006 19:58 UTC Hi Sally, superb page, now this is my kind of destination, gambling, gambling, gambling, its a pity the wife doesn't see my point of view LOL |
