Best Fine Dining in Old Vegas

"Parisian romance with a glitzy Vegas sparkle makes the Eiffel Tower Restaurant a must-visit for your special occasion on the Strip. Introduce your partner to a trilogy of imported caviar before nibbling on fricassée d’escargot. A Rossini-style filet mignon with foie gras and truffle sauce sets the mood for the grand finale: a chocolate Eiffel Tower soufflé."

"Set inside Las Vegas’ version of the Eiffel Tower, overlooking the Bellagio Fountains from the Eiffel Tower Restaurant’s spectacular window views. This elegant atmosphere serves fine French dining. Maybe it’s a little predictable, but this beloved Vegas staple has seen some 10,000 proposals over the course of its 20 years."

"It may sound like a blasphemy to say, but while Emeril Lagasse, a man who almost singlehandedly changed how we look at home cooking, has opened up several restaurants, not all of them are good. However, Emeril’s Las Vegas empire breaks that mold and offers consistently high-quality dishes that are simultaneously fancy enough for the pickiest gourmand and delicious enough for any eater. Plus, their Creole roots make the food approachable, which isn’t always true of high-class dining."

"When your taste buds want to be elevated to a new level at a Las Vegas seafood restaurant then an ideal place to eat is Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House. Located within the MGM Grand, this contemporary eatery has an exciting interior that features unique fish sculptures, brightly colored glass and plenty of neon. Open for lunch and dinner, award winning chef Emeril Lagasse has put together a fantastic menu that celebrates the flavors of New Orleans in his seafood creations."

"We’d be amiss if Emeril’s New Orleans’ style desserts didn’t make this list, and his banana cream pie tops the list. A staple since the inception of his restaurant, this banana cream pie is rich and thick, with three pounds of bananas in each pie. If one taste of Emeril’s banana cream pie keeps you longing for more after you’ve left Vegas, check out the Food Network’s website to find the recipe and try your hand at it when you get home."

"The posh new Red Plate at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas brings upscale Chinese dining to the resort. Roasted meats, Chinese hot pot and dim sum are menu highlights, but the selections cover a wide range. Starting dishes include a King Crab spring roll, crispy tofu with fried garlic or abalone in cold sake."

"Lawrys the Prime Rib may be prime rib-focused, but they are also a good restaurant for vegans who want to dine with meat-lovers. Some of the best vegan options include fried onions..."

"Many of the steakhouses in Las Vegas are prohibitively pricey. Lawry's offers a similar experience, but people won't have to take out a loan to pay the bill. Lawry's is affordable ..."

"Off the StripLawry's now has curbside pickup Tuesday-Sunday, 4:30-8pm with 20% off (plus 50% off the beer and wine list). That's some good incentive for eating prime rib at home."
