With chic, modern décor and a black and red color scheme, L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon is a high-energy hot spot offering excellent French cuisine. Glossy black tables and a granite bar that encircles the open kitchen area add to the hip setting. Signature dishes on the French menu include steak tartar, miniature lamb chops, and mashed potatoes. Located in the MGM Grand Hotel (see), it is only minutes to hotels, shopping, entertainment, and the McCarran Airport.
