Reviews of Luxury City Center Las Vegas Restaurants
The Los Angeles Times Critic, S. Irene Virbila just posted her reviews of the newest luxury restaurants in the Las Vegas City Center. I am still gasping at $500.00 per person for Shabu Shabu
Interesting article.

The Journal's Raymond Sokolov did the same a few days ago:

"We counted eight courses and many ingredients flown in at great cost from Japan. And it may be that if we were a couple of deeply experienced Japanese shabu-shabu lovers, this would have been some kind of pinnacle in our overcosseted gustatory lives. But as non-adepts at this form of mink-lined Zen cookery, we had a far finer time for far less liquidation of euroyen across the hall in the vast Aria lobby-atrium-casino at Sage."

...Service is more relaxed than it would be in Paris...
...tasting menu runs six courses without being as overwhelming as his menu in Paris, where each course bristles with five or six side dishes. This food is much less elaborate, much more approachable...

Just back from a trip to Vegas during which we had dinner at Sage, and I have to say that it was fantastic. Not an over the top luxury experience where there are truffles and foie gras on everything, but an absolutely delicious meal with excellent service. If you're a beer lover, they also have a fantastic beer list. We'll definitely be back!

I am so glad that I had a chance to eat at Twist before the press reviews came out. And for those staying at the MO, one cannot overlook eating at MOzen. While argueably more casual, the food was excellent.
