We decided to sit at the bar and Kerry (you'll know him when you see him, he can't be missed) is an awesome bartender. The first thing we noticed was an amazing (but very pricey) Italian wine list. We had the Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, for $75, but we know it is $25 in the stores. When perfectly chilled at 58 degrees, it is an amazing wine. Fiamma's wines are all perfectly chilled. We were looking for something out of the norm and Italian, we were not disappointed. I had this incredible Kobe beef wrapped in Risotto that was lightly fried/crisp with a cream sauce. It blew me away! My wife had the short Rib Ravioli that she thought was unbelievable. Others at the bar saw our plates and all were asking what they were and also ordered them. Am I done with this review far from it. Next we ordered the Gelato, OMG WOW. After traveling to Italy, this is the real stuff! Pick three flavors, but make sure you get the "Espresso Chip", it will knock your socks off. We're still not done! Next Kerry brought over these small little after dinner chocolate cups filled with warm caramel that was the icing to the evening! 5 stars all the way for the food, the service, the wine, chefs, the owner, and especially Kerry!
Pros: Food, Wine selection, Service
Cons: None

In Vegas for the first time ever for my wedding, our chatty limo driver suggested this place to us. We were SO SO SO glad he did.
You pull into the parking lot and see this little building...appearances can be deceiving ;)
You enter into a small area and ring the doorbell...what happens next? Well that's part of the fun of this place - a throwback to the "gangster" days of the 20s & 30s.
With a party of 5 we were seated almost immediately (and mind you this was Halloween night). As the night went on the place filled up, but we were NEVER made to feel like they were rushing us out the door. The lighting is dim and the menus come with an attached flashlight to help you to see. The dishes are properly named and got a chuckle from us. Since it was Halloween they offered us drinks and we each ordered a "Zombie" martini. The martinis came to us and were green and smoking (a little piece of dry ice) and had an eyeball floating in it. Perfect for the occasion!
I have a thing for Alfredo and HAD to try theirs...it was some of the BEST Alfredo sauce I have ever tasted. You can add a meat of your choice for a couple extra dollars to most of the pasta dishes.
My entire party was delighted with the food and ate the generous helpings till we were stuffed. We all felt it was one of those meals where its soooo good that even though you're stuffed beyond stuffed you don't want to stop eating it because it's just THAT good. We also sampled each others' dishes and every bit of it was amazing. My sister-in-law joked with our waitress "you have 'mama' hidden away in that kitchen dont you!".
The service was EXCELLENT, our water cups were consistently filled and our waitress was an absolute pleasure. We told her they should open a Capo's in Jersey...it would surely make a killing (pun intended ;)!
The "Frank Sinatra" was great entertainment as he walked from table to table and sang Sinatra, Darin and the like.
It was a little bit on the expensive side, but we were glad to pay our bill as we felt every penny was well worth it. Plus they threw in some free Cannolis to celebrate my wedding! Everything about this place was delicious.
I will recommend this place to anyone I know and will definitely be going there the next time I'm in Vegas. A+++'s all around for Capo's.
Pros: Food, service, ambiance - everything!
Cons: a little pricey

So our favorite steakhouse in town is Circus Circus, which we save for special occasions because of the price. About once a month, we venture to BT's steakhouse and have NEVER been disappointed.
The regular salads with italian dressing are SO good. They remind me of the original Kens Steakhouse restaurant salads from Framingham, Massachusetts.
The steak is great. We always get the fillet and have never had a problem. So yummy!
We have always had incredible service there. We've even got to a first name basis with our favorite server there - but everyone is super friendly and I don't know what the bad reviewers are talking about. They are all professional.
Pros: Great Steak, Great Service, Price
Cons: Far Drive

Went here Saturday night after trying to get a reservation all day finally something opened at 6:15. We didnt want to eat that early but did have a 10 o clock show at Mirage...LOVE was amazing. Anyway we didnt get seated until about 6:30 so we had a chance to have a drink at the bar. Great cocktails by the way!
Ordered the meatballs and the clams as an appetizer and were soooo yummy. I ordered the pasta with peas and prosciuto and my boyfriend ordered the osso bucco. Both sooo good, the meat fell off the bone.
I dont know why other people put this retaurant down but we definetly thought it was very good and highly recomend it. Unfortunately we didnt have room for dessert but i hear the dessert at emeril's new place is amazing and also there is a payard chocolate shop across from this restaurant so that could be worth checking out.
Pros: food
Cons: little pit pricey but worth it

My best friend, lollipop, loves to take hammers into stores at the mall and threaten people.....the squirrel dont burp till the octopus chirps!!!
*REMEMBER- if the lion eats too many stickers, then the cookies explode and have no where to go......then the meatloaf says to the cat, "I wish I had an apple!!" the cat replies, "nope. you dont. because one day, mine farted on me, so i threw it away, but now its haunting my stepdad. dont get an apple." the meatloaf thought about this and said,"my brother likes pineapple"............then the cow jumped over the ipod, yada yada yada and now the calculator jogs daily.
THE END!
Pros: Ink cartridges look funny when you burn them & dip in water
Cons: sometimes after u drink the water you feel funny-not good

We adore Andre?s and recommend it to everyone interested in a truly incredible dining experience. We?ve dined here as often as possible on our trips to Las Vegas and each time we?ve come away with better and better experiences, something we didn't think possible! The Louis XVI drawing room is a perfect place to start the evening, and our favorite dining venue is the intimate upstairs dining room ? it may seat only 18 or so (a guestimate) ? which features impeccable attention from the wait staff, gorgeous Versace china, beautiful linens, delightful palate cleansing intermezzos, and incredible course after course. Whether having a dinner before a show ? we once ran from Andre?s at the Monte Carlo to the Luxor in order to not miss our show because we couldn?t bear to shortchange our wonderful dining experience ? or a relaxing evening in front of the fireplace chatting with Socrates, the maitre d? on our first visit years ago, followed by a multi-course extravaganza, you will not forget Andre?s. It is a must on any foodie?s list and a wonderfully memorable dining experience for any special occasion.
Pros: Amazing Fine Dining Experience -- Truly Memorable, Incredibly Decadent & Beautiful Intimate Setting!
Cons: No cons whatsoever. This is an Outstanding Restaurant.

I have visited The Range at Harrah's at least once on every trip I make to Vegas. I have eaten practically everything on the menu and have never been let down. The last few times I have gone, I have stuck to the appetizers because they are quite big and VERY tasty. The lobster bisque, escargot, and seafood samplers are all spectacular. The service has always been friendly, polite, and classy. The restaurant also boasts a great view of Las Vegas blvd! Of course, I would highly recommend the steak as well. After all, it is a steakhouse.
Pros: Excellent service, Excellent food, Beautiful view
Cons: None

Found this place accidentally and glad we did!! Excellent service and one of the best Steaks I've ever had! If you're in Vegas, you really need to head downtown to try this place. What more can I say?
