RESTAURANT
LAVO at The Palazzo

The new LAVO Restaurant at The Palazzo Resort Hotel and Casino, created by the same masterminds behind TAO Las Vegas and New York, is nothing short of a magnificent, and pays tribute to the seas of the Mediterranean. The focal highlight of LAVO is the innovative menu created by Chef Ludo Lefebvre, renowned executive chef from famed Los Angeles restaurants L’Orangerie and Bastide. The best of the Mediterranean region’s cuisine is delightfully adapted to match Chef Ludo’s signature European gastronomy, and the wood burning oven helps chefs create the city’s most gourmet pies, including the Ultimate Pizza, garnished with a delicate balance of roasted lobster and truffles. Since the September 2008 opening, LAVO has quickly become a favorite spot for Las Vegas elites, thanks to its delectable unique plates and striking atmosphere. Like the menu, the interior pays homage to the Mediterranean and is filled with dark Moroccan woods and intricately carved glass. After savoring a variety of desserts artfully created by Pastry Chef Lynn Hyzer, the adjacent LAVO lounge and nightclub allows diners to continue the LAVO experience into the night.

MIX Las Vegas

This appropriately named eatery sits atop Mandalay Bay’s prestigious boutique hotel, THE Hotel, and is the brainchild of French culinary expert Chef Alain Ducasse. His goal was to subtly meld together French gastronomy with American Cuisine, and the menu Mix offers actualizes his vision with an array of signature dishes that delight even the most discerning bon vivants. Tender potato gnocchi and eggplant caviar are simply must-haves. The restaurant is adjoined to a sprawling lounge, inviting guests to enjoy après dinner drinks and take in the stunning vistas of the colorful Las Vegas strip from the restaurant’s elevated perch. The view is perfectly accentuated by the chic white and silver interior created by the renowned design visionary, Patrick Jouin. Noteworthy is the central chandelier that is adorned with 15,000 stunning hand-blown imported Murano glass balls. The stunning piece of art–the largest chandelier in the world–is the centerpiece of the mod-chic atmosphere.
