text: This is another one of those restaurants where I'm stuck between 3 and 4 stars, just wishing Yelp would create a 1/2 star option...so we'll go ahead and round down to 3 stars just because of a few minor details. \n\nHad reservations at 9:15 on a Friday night and we were seated promptly at a table by the kitchen (unfortunately, we were extremely far from the windows for a view of the water show). Let me also say that I really despise circuses...but loved the decor in this restaurant. Five stars for that. \nWe requested just normal tap water and the wait staff seemed almost annoyed with this selection. Uh, sorry we're not sorry that we won't spend $9 for bottled water? Give us a break. This lead to infrequent refills of our water-- that's a big negative for me as I am the polar opposite of a camel and drink water like I won't have any again for a week. Okay, enough of that rant...\n\nPLUS: We had some delicious salads. A prosciutto & melon salad and the classic Caprese. Big props for these two!\n\nThe bread: Yess, we were fans. One of them tasted like pan pizza crust..the whole table agreed. So good! \n\nMeals:\n--Pappardelle: Wide noodles served with sausage and wild mushrooms. I was looking so forward to this dish, and I think it only fell short in my eyes because of its sauce-- or, rather, its lack thereof. There was NO sauce, just an almost excessive amount of melted butter covering the dish. It was good, but almost a tad bland. My mom and sister enjoyed this dish, though. \n\n--\"Mama Egi's\" ravioli: Either order this as an appetizer, or split this and another dish with someone else at the table. Extremely delicious, but also extremely rich. I couldn't eat more than four or five of these mini raviolis without wanting to stop because it was so rich. \n\n--Quail. I had never had quail before, and my sister's boyfriend ordered this dish. I only had a bite, but I liked what I tasted. He said it was better than what he was used to. \n\nDessert:\nWe ordered the bombolonis (donuts)-- ooh, sugar-covered goodness. Came with a raspberry sauce and a strong chocolate sauce. \n\nOverall, Circo wasn't bad. It wasn't bad at all. It had its strong points, but also fell short in some areas. I'm willing to pay my share of money for food in Vegas, and this wasn't cheap- which is fine, but it could have been much better. I personally prefer Stratta over at Wynn.
