In a town with a lot of expensive restaurants, this place stands out.\n\nI went with the girlfriend and had the tasting menu, which at $148 a piece as not cheap. The Chimay blanche was only $7, which is a bargain anywhere.\n\nThe seating was at a bar, and was relatively casual, which is a nice change for a fine dining place.\n\nThe tasting was ten courses, all of which were excellent, a few of which were really. The amuse of a foie-gras parfait with port wine and parmesan foam was fantastic, as was the langoustine carpaccio with poppy seeds and the butter-poached oysters. The main course was a foie-gras stuffed quail with truffled mashed potatoes. Robuchon is famous for his \"pommes puree\", which I've tried to replicate at home from the recipe in \"The Complete Robuchon\". It doesn't come close, sadly.\n\nThe desserts were also great, especially the pina colada dessert, which was pineapple, yogurt ice cream, malibu rum gelee, and pop rocks hidden in there.\n\nIf/when I go back to Vegas, coming back here is a no-brainer.
