Help! We are four 70 year old former college roommates having a four day reunion in Las Vegas. We have no idea where to go for dinner. We will be staying at the Aria, like every kind of food, and will be celebrating a birthday one night. We would appreciate any suggestions. None of us have ever been in Las Vegas before. Thank you.
Sorry - a grammar correction. "None of us HAS ever been in Las Vegas before"
How awesome!!! There are a couple things that would help us narrow your choices. First, what kind of budget do you all have? Another is proximity. While everything on the Strip looks close even going to the hotel next door can be challenging.
Sorry. You can tell that we are really new to Las Vegas. We are staying at the Aria. We have no real budget constraints, love breakfast, want to avoid steakhouses, and live in NYC, DC, and Houston so would love to try restaurants that don't have branches in those cities. Thanks for responding
For breakfast I would suggest trying the Veranda in the Four Seasons. It is an excellent spot for breakfast and when the weather is comfortable sitting outside is tranquil and relaxing. Not to mention the food is excellent. Tableau at the Wynn is another place that is great and like the Veranda, when the weather is nice the outdoor dining is a great option. If I pick one over the other I would lean to the Veranda. It is also an option for dinner. Although it not as nice as some other restaurants, it is really an underrated dinner option.
As both zook and Dave stated, Sage is a good option. While I agree it is beautiful and table spacing is great, it is a tad dark and while not loud, it is not quiet. In Aria I would also look at Bardot Brasserie for some delicious French fare. Also in Aria is Herringbone (mostly seafood theme). I have never been so I cannot comment on the quality of the food but from all accounts, it sounds like it would be a great option.
I would also look at Picasso in the Bellagio. It is one of, if not, the most beautiful restaurant in Las Vegas. The restaurant houses many original Picasso pieces of art, down to the rug, which I believe is not a Pablo Picasso design but rather one by a relative. The food is excellent and service professional. I would suggest dining there on the earlier side and not during holidays as it can suffer from service let downs, as zook can attest (I have eaten there a minimum of ten times and can say I have never had a bad meal or a bad time). Try and snag a table against the window and watch the Bellagio fountains in the background. There is also patio seating if the weather cooperates. That is my favorite spot!!!
Right in the Aria is Sage. Great food, excellent service, and a beautiful restaurant. The plus for your reunion is that the tables are spaced far apart from one another allowing for a nice environment for you all to catch up.
