Famous for his Michelin-starred Washington, DC restaurant, Minibar, José Andrés flaunts his knack for fine dining again at this Las Vegas establishment. Inside The Cosmopolitan hotel, é is cleverly hidden from the Vegas hustle and bustle in a private room.

Gordon Ramsay Steak
Set within the stylish Paris casino, Gordon Ramsay Steak is the place to be for supreme steaks with a London twist.

The Hell’s Kitchen Tasting Menu offers three courses plus amuse bouche Scotch egg and a dessert.
Le Cirque
One of Las Vegas’s most buzzed about hotels, Bellagio hosts Le Cirque, an award-winning French restaurant. The upscale atmosphere is what you’d expect from the grand Las Vegas property – bold and extravagant. A five-course Dégustation Menu is second to the Menu Prestige, which serves 10 courses of dishes like foie gras, gold crusted quail and diver scallop. To say the wine list is extensive is putting it lightly – more than 900 international selections are on offer at Le Cirque.
Restaurant Guy Savoy
Sister to another Elite Traveler Top 100 Restaurants pick, the Paris restaurant of the same name, Restaurant Guy Savoy is acclaimed as the height of fine dining in Las Vegas. In the Augustus Tower of Caesars Palace hotel, the restaurant serves classic French dishes created by the famed chef, Guy Savoy, as well as seasonal menus.
