Bouchon is a beautiful French bistro with exquisite cuisine with a romantic atmosphere. This restaurant radiates a Parisian authenticity and accommodates up to 150 seated guests or 350 standing guests for receptions including the fabulous courtyard. Their wine list will soothe the palette of your mouth while the French cuisine will enhance it. Star wine maker Wells Guthrie delivers quality tasting wine made especially for Bouchon. At the Bouchon, one of the most amazing main courses is the Saumon Poele. The meal is a sautéed Scottish Salmon with red rice and marinated artichokes is a mouth watering delight. Whether you stop by and have a salad, brunch, dessert or stay for dinner, your experience here at this five star restaurant will leave you wanting more.

Firefly located east of the strip is a perfect restaurant for all occasions. It is a fun environment with a diversified menu for a night out or having a party. This restaurants boats a traditional Spanish dish with rice, clams, calamari, chorizo sausage, chicken or clams. With amazing menu choices from smoked salmon to filet mignon or shrimp tempura, this restaurant has something for everyone.

Joel Robuchon at the Mansion is for the extravagant experience for that once in a life time evening like no other with a European and French cuisine. The décor is a 1930's era café bejeweled in velvet and black marble with courses from six to sixteen. The finest seafood and meats along with produce delight each dish with a visual excitement as well as a surprising savory flavor. From sea urchins to mushroom tarts, the menu changes frequently ranging only increasing the unexpected desire. The vast array of wines and champagnes is astounding and sophisticated. Nothing but the best is served here at Joel Robuchon.

Pamplemousse is a charming restaurant decorated with copper pots and pottery titivating the walls. To start you receive a large bowl of olives, crisp crudités and a basket of hard boiled egg on the house. Their Chilean Sea Bass with a touch of ginger and soy is appetizing and full of flavor. The tomato and goat cheese tart is enticing. Wayne Newton is a frequent guest at Pamplemousse enjoying the French cuisine.

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House delivers the highest quality ingredients from baked breads to their own salad dressings. The cuisine here is American with an unbelievable lobster tail from Australia. The crab cakes and seafood soup is flavorful and tasty.
