Nobhill Tavern (Las Vegas, NV)

Now here’s a treat! We had one of the most relaxing, enjoyable meals of our stay in Las Vegas at Nobhill in the MGM Grand. Chef Michael Mina brings a bit of San Francisco to Vegas, and it’s fantastic. From great food, to great service to comfortable surroundings, this is a must on your list! The [...]

Joël Robuchon (Las Vegas, NV)

In short, there is nothing like Joël Robuchon At The Mansion. The heavy doors to the dining room separate you completely from the ding-ing, whirling, beeping, flashing slot machines that are otherwise the hallmarks of your Vegas experience. You enter into a space of supreme elegance in mauve, lavender, and black. Plush, velvety fabrics, a [...]

Nectar (Las Vegas, NV)

Trendy, contemporary, hip. These are the words that will no doubt occur to you when you walk into Nectar at the Bellagio hotel, struck with the sight of strange stalactite-like pillars and walls painted in a blend of colors. The ambience is more high energy than intimate with its open kitchen concept and brightly lit [...]

The Buffet at Bellagio (Las Vegas, NV)

Bellagio’s Buffet offers a large dining area, pleasantly lit and decorated, and including the requisite Keno runners. But it’s not the décor that you’ll be writing home about. The emphasis here is on food. Let’s just say that it may well be more economical to list what you can’t find at Bellagio’s buffet rather than [...]

The rich glossy wood of the furnishings, chocolate colored walls, and powder blue draperies evoke a more elegant and stylish time. Despite the overall elegant/retro feel of Prime, oversized art pieces and gigantic vases filled to overflowing with dried flowers inject a [...]

Picasso (Las Vegas, NV)

If you are looking for unique ambience, just try to trump dining at Bellagio’s Picasso where you sit in the shadow of a $30 million dollar art collection, that of the legendary Pablo Picasso himself. Guests are encouraged to take a stroll through the restaurant after their dinner to admire the rare collection that adorns [...]

Aqua (Las Vegas, NV)

San Francisco’s renowned gourmet seafood restaurant has found a second home at the Hotel Bellagio. It does justice to the reputation of the original restaurant with delicious dishes, artfully and colorfully presented. The elegant yet comfortable restaurant is divided into two sections, a large main dining room and a more private alcove. Aqua’s large windows [...]

Bellagio (Las Vegas, NV)

It’s no longer your grandfather’s Las Vegas, and the Bellagio Hotel is proof. From the moment you step into the grand lobby, a canopy of glass flowers by Dale Chiluly soaring over your head, you’ve entered into elegance epitomized. Read the Small Barrels Magazine review of the Bellagio Hotel here…
