The hallowed temple of cuisine for New York’s financial elite has made it to Las Vegas. Restaurateur and charmer Sirio Maccioni, the face and creative force behind the Gotham power scene, brought a branch to the Bellagio. Like its New York City sibling, this Le Cirque is a shining jewel of a restaurant, awash in bold colors and warm fabrics, with a bright, silk-tented ceiling that brings a festive big-top feel to the intimate dining room. The three-course prix fixe menu features rustic French fare that includes something for everyone: snails, fish, lamb, beef, and game, as well as salads and pasta. In signature Maccioni style, each dish is prepared with precision and delivered with care. Caviar service is available for those seeking extreme luxury, and the wine list boasts several stellar choices.
