I was quite disappointed to find out that Joel Robuchon will be closed during our stay next month, even before I found out that it received three Michelin stars. Will have to "settle" for L'Atelier instead. Was also considering Guy Savoy in addition as well, but we've decided not overdo it on the French. Also, we are traveling with our toddler daughter and nanny, so we don't want to eat without them every single night!

Never been much of a "star collector", but was interesting to me that in Vegas alone I "have" 5 stars! Can't disagree with Picasso and Le Cirque was good, but not entirely convinced of the star-worthiness of The Mix or Nobu Vegas (love the Nobus in NY and Malibu, though). They are not by any means "bad" and in fact we enjoyed them; just that we didn't find them to be exceptional.

Interestingly, I've heard so much talk about Rosemary's (in the strip mall) being the "best restaurant in Vegas" and finally tried it myself two years ago and found it to be excellent, but it didn't receive any stars. Wondering if they are even listed in the guide, and if not, perhaps they were just not visited by the Michelin inspectors?
