The dining options in Vegas are endless. Many of the restaurants are more open, bustling with the activity of a club, or adjacent to the casino floor - with the lights and noise that come with it. La Cave is not this. If you are looking for a more intimate engagement, this may be your place.\n\nLa Cave is a tapas-bar, wine cellar set in a modern wine cave setting. The first thing you will notice is that it is dark, really dark. Lights come, most noticeably from a neon sign saying - In Vino Veritas - above a long table in the front.. Appropriate. There are also a few platforms, lit from below, with an assortment of empty wine bottles on them. Stone arches and iron gates help complete the feeling like you are in a wine cave. They have two bars, one in front and one in back, along with a very nice outdoor patio area. On the night we were dining, it was about half full, but still was quiet and intimate. \n\nFirst the wine - excellent selections both in the bottle and by the glass from most regions around the world. I went with the Italian Arneis - which you don't see a whole lot and my wife selected a very nice Oregon Pinot Noir. They also have a nice offering of craft beers as well as cocktails and liquor options. It's Vegas, so be sure to pace yourself, since you will be going to other places. Though if you just stayed here, that would be a good thing.\n\nThe food portions are tapas style, but on the larger side, and everything is excellent. We started with the Tuscan Bran Salad (tasty) and the Mushroom Grits (excellent). The Angus Mini Burgers were good, and the Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza was shockingly good (after all, it is just sausage, right). We also had the Smores Desert Flatbread at the end, wow and wow again. \n\nPrice? Even for Vegas standards, I felt that this was on the high side, which drops them down a little bit. So, be prepared when you get a table for four with 5 glasses of wine and 5 plates and it is $230 plus tip. Still, the next time we are in Vegas, we will be back.\n\nLoo Review - Since it is a small restaurant, they don't have their own facilities. You have to go back out of the front door, go left and use the common area bathroom on the arcade.
