I always wanted to try this place and when my grandparents came to town I finally could and have someone else pay for it. The place was great (and not just because it was free for me). My ribeye was cooked just as I asked and the service was great. If gram and gramp come back to visit I'd be happy to visit Emeril's again.

My husband had a $12 Burger that was delish with a fresh spring salad that he surprising enjoyed. I was a little more adventurous, I had the $45 stimulus special (no joke) The yummiest flaky rolls, Saut?ed French onion soup, Filet minion medallions, mashed potatoes, Cinnamon sugar donut holes with dunking sauces. It was the best meal I had all year, and the extra perks, I dropped my fork and the bus boy ran over with a new fork instantly, when we were finished, the second we set our napkins on the table the bus boy brought our bill. This was big for me, I hate sitting and waiting for the bill, I want to leave as soon as I?m done eating. Constant refills on tea, the second I had my last sip of beer I was offered another. They were very attentive, and are plates were clean as bone when left. A+++
Pros: We cleaned our plates
Cons: high priced wines and beers

A couple hours ago I treated myself to a birthday dinner at Nobu, the Japanese restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The food was superb and appeasing both to the eye and the palate. Visually the presentation was a cross between Rembrandt and Michelangelo it started my taste buds dancing with joy from the first glimpse. Each dish was as carefully explained as it was prepared. As I placed each bite into my mouth, my palate was climbing up moonbeams, dancing on clouds, and sliding down rainbows. The food was carefully prepared with the finest ingredients and the flavor was incomparable. I had the one-hundred fifty dollar seven course Chefs? Sampler. I could describe in intricate detail every course, but that would take away from the mystery, that allows one?s imagination to run wild in eager anticipation as you?re awaiting the next course. Suffice it to say a glimpse is all I will divulge, the fois gras and Kobe beef with caviar made my legs nearly commence dancing. The significance of this is a thrice broken back, which has left me partially paralyzed and numb from the waist down. In addition not only is the quality unsurpassed, but the quantity as well. Nobu is a must add to your Bucket List. I?ve eaten at some of the best restaurants in Las Vegas both nouveau and classic. (Restaurants like the Alize? at the Top of the Palms and classic old school Vegas like the Golden Steer, both phenomenal, in my humble opinion.). The wait staff is friendly and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable and informative. I?ve eaten at restaurants from San Diego to Vancouver, BC. My last vice is the enjoyment of cuisines from around the world. Nobu has earned a spot at the top of my list as one of the most enjoyable restaurants I?ve ever experienced and some of the best food I?ve ever had the luxury to consume. (Tonight was my third visit, and the good lord willing, far from my last.) If there are chop sticks in Heaven then Nobu will be there as well.
Pros: Greeat
Cons: NONE

We had a perfect birthday dinner experience at Fix. Our group of four got there early and had a champagne toast at the bar before being seated. Our waitress and wait staff were very helpful and super friendly. We decided to order small plates and apps to all share and asked to have the best selections on the menu. The recommendations were fantastic and everything tasted better than the next. Their specialty martinis were amazing and a candle in their signature desert doughnuts was the perfect ending. We all walked away very impressed with the meal and not spending as much as we would have if we went to an expensive steakhouse. Everything about the experience was exactly what we hoped for.
Pros: amazing lobster tacos and cucumber martinis
Cons: none

`Omakase` normally means you're sitting at a sushi bar, letting the chef choose delicious things for you to eat. At Sushi Roku it means you've opted to submit yourself to some of their best food with an extremely slick presentation. A breakdown of my most recent meal;
0 Course: complimentary chamagne; added water and plum wine to the drink roster as well. (Their plum wine is delicious, don't miss it.)
1st course: fresh scallop / tuna belly / foie gras wrapped in yellowtail. This last item deserves special note, easily being one of the most delicious things I've had the privledge to eat.
2nd course: light salad with slices of sea bass, ginger dressing.
3rd course: very thinly sliced pieces of halibut, a dab of spicy daikon on each. Looked unusual as I wasn't familiar with the slicing technique. Delicious.
4th: blackened, baked cod - so tender it flaked apart at the touch. First impression was astonishment that an upscale sushi place would sell cod, one of the most common seaside fish in the world. Whatever they did to this fish has made me a fan for life. It couldn't top the foie gras / yellowtail, but it certainly gave a mighty try.
5th: `volcano cake` (warm chocolate cake with liquid chocolate filling) for dessert.
I'm already planning a visit on my next trip to Vegas. If you love sushi, go to Sushi Roku. If you want to avoid the crowds and scene-folk, go on a Monday or Tuesday. The place was very open at 7pm but filled up quickly after dark.
Pros: Great view of the strip, best sushi in Vegas
Cons: A few too many scene-folk

This place has GREAT mexican food! The also have amazing drinks and the salsa is world class. It's worth it to go and grab a drink and chips and salsa. Plus, during the day they are usually handing out 2 for 1 deals. The music is rock'n'roll and you can usually catch whatever sports game you are looking for on their many TV screens. LOVE this place!

I've heard good reviews prior to trying out N9NE Steakhouse so I was excited to try it out and I wasn't disappointed. The food and service was excellent throughout the night and the atmosphere was hip and fun especially for a steakhouse. Our steaks were cooked correctly and they were tender and tasty. The Lobster Mashed Potatoes were great but don't overlook their other sides such as the Mac & Cheese and Skinny Fries. Our waitress attentive and not overbearing. The hostesses were friendly as well and had us seated right away. I've been to Vegas several times and N9NE is certainly among my favorites in the Vegas area.
Pros: Great food and service, Hip Atmosphere
Cons: Aside from being off the strip, none really

I just came back from Vegas today (4/21/08). I?m picky when it comes to food, especially Italian cuisine (I also consider myself an amateur chef). I lived in Italy for awhile, and I am somewhat snobbish when it comes to quality. This place is excellent! My father and I both had the fillet stuffed with foie gras (big enough for two), and the tomato & mozzarella salad for an appetizer. My fiancee had the linguini with lobster and shrimp, and my aunt had the sausage ravioli.
For all who unfortunately rated this restaurant as poor, you have no idea what good food tastes like (maybe the seafood buffet at the Rio would be a better choice?which is amazing by the way). I was in heaven at Zeffirino?s. My father and I both said that it was the best fillet we ever had?no joke. The buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes were unlike anything I ever tasted. The olive oil they used was simply the finest quality available. The linguini with lobster was fresh (huge pieces of fresh lobster?and I?m from Boston, so I know my seafood), and the sauce was amazing. Their ravioli may have been the best I?ve ever tasted as well.
For all who unfortunately received bad service/food: maybe it was how you dressed? This place is business casual, not shorts or jeans (I saw some people wander in from the strip?how rude of them to wear a swimsuit and sunglasses in the restaurant). The bill for the four of us (including 7 alcoholic drinks, no dessert?we were stuffed) was $236.00. Not bad for an amazing meal.
I?ve never written anything like this (generally I couldn?t be bothered). But after seeing a few disgruntled gamblers take a stab at this fine establishment, I just had to say something. Hats off to Zeffirino?s for their ambiance, service, and great food!
Pros: ambiance, service, food
Cons: a bit expensive
