A FABULOUS choice for lunch on weekdays, if you can steal away for a moment for the five star service and delicious food! They are two choices for lunch - a la carte or the prix-fix menu at $25! And at $25, what a steal! How could I resist? I have already heard great things about this place by my Vegas go to man, so how can I say no?! (I tried going on a weekend and only discovered then that they weren't open for lunch on weekends! Wow!) At Rosemary's, there is a good selection of starters, entrees, and desserts to choose from for the prix-fix menu, making this place an ideal choice for a variety of palates. To start, I had the recommended Dry Aged Beef & Maytag Blue Cheese Carpaccio with Arugula & Granny Smith Apple Salad, Candied Walnuts & Port Wine Drizzles. What a fabulous and light salad to start with! The cheese is swirled into the beef and has an amazing mix of flavors going on in your mouth! Yum yum! My entree was the Soy Marinated Bistro Filet Kabobs with Prosciutto-Wild Mushroom Hash, Micro Greens & Caramelized Shallot Reduction Sauce. The kabobs came on two skewer sticks. They were small pieces of beef, but full of flavor. The mix of mushrooms and greens complemented the dish well. My companion had his favorite - the Crispy Leg of Duck Confit on a bed of French Green Lentils with a Brandy Green Peppercorn Sauce. The crispy skin of the duck was full of flavor, but the dish wasn't a particular favorite of mine. I was more pleased with my beef kabobs. For dessert, I closed with the Chocolate Flourless Cake with Scotch Caramel Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream. I noticed they were offering Peppermint Ice Cream in another dessert and asked if they could substitute the vanilla for peppermint and it was done! The toasted almond slivers added a nice crunch to the cake and sweet ice cream. The cookie underneath the ice cream also added a nice bite to the lovely dessert as well. I was pleased with my choice! My companion had the Goat Cheese Cheesecake with Scotch Caramel Sauce. The goat cheese was a bit heavy for me, especially after my very filling starter and entree, so I was glad I stuck with my chocolate cake. He seemed quite content with the stronger tasting and pungent dessert than I. Service - amazingly fabulous! Servers here are particularly anal and I love it! The old school way of serving from the left and taking from the right applies here! And my favorite - the waiters wait until all plates are present and they are set down in front of each diner at the same time. Love it! They also fold your napkin and push in your chair should you use the restroom during your meal. This place works fabulously as a team and they get FIVE stars on service alone! (This was just for lunch too!) I can't wait to go back for more! Side note: Check out their website for various promotions going on like half price wine night on Sundays and ladies' night on Wednesdays, which means half off! You can even purchase $100 GC for $79.99 at Las Vegas Costcos! Update! 02/02/08 - Had the pleasure of having their prix-fix lunch here again today and couldn't pass up the "Dry Aged Beef & Maytag Blue Cheese Carpaccio with Arugula & Granny Smith Apple Salad, Candied Walnuts & Port Wine Drizzles." It's so good that the BF and I each order our own plate. (We usually like to get different things and share, but this one is so good we just want our own!) For the main, I had the "Creole Seasoned Shrimp with Anson Mills Carolina Cheesy Quick Grits, Andouille Red Bean Sauce & Grilled Green Onion." It was so much food! Embarrassingly, I couldn't finish it all! Too much grits! The BF had "Rosie's Monte Cristo - Ham, Turkey & Cantal Cheese on Battered Dipped Brioche with Crispy Onion Crust." I especially liked his flaky and light onion rings. Again, very plentiful and he couldn't finish it all either! The BF ordered some kind of dessert that I forgot the name of. The waiter said it was really good, but it was alright to us. (You can check out the photos from the business profile and tell me what it was!) I had the trio of seasonal sorbets because you can never go wrong with seasonal sorbets! Yum yum! We had to sit in the front this time since there were no tables available where we could sit side by side. Service was still good for the most part, but I think it's a bit better when you're inside. And I should mention the yummy bread rolls they give you in the beginning, oh so good!

This is a very nice hotel/resort. Depending on what you're in Vegas for, this may or may not suit your needs, mostly due to its proximity to "the action" on The Strip. The hotel sits at the very north end of The Strip and it's a bit of a walk before you get to the heart of The Strip. Walking to Mandalay Bay (the southern end of The Strip) will have you walking three and a half miles! A car rental or bus pass will suit you well if the casinos are on your agenda. If they're not, this hotel is in an excellent location. It's quiet, close to the Stratosphere and has easy access to I-15 via Sahara Ave. The staff are very nice and accomodating. The pool is comfortable, but could certainly be a bit bigger. Get more than twenty people in one of the two halves of the pool (it's split into two) and you start getting a little cramped. The Marketplace in the hotel is most certainly convenient but don't order a sandwich there unless you've got A LOT of time. On the day we arrived (Saturday), we stopped in there to grab a sandwich and it must have taken at least twenty minutes to get through the five or so people in line ahead of me to even place my order and another twenty minutes or so to get my sandwich! Fourty minutes and $24 later, I had my Cuban sandwich, garden salad, Gatorade, and Water! Things are very pricey and the service is generally slow. Parking is convenient right next to the hotel with a surface lot and a 10+ level parking garage. Would I stay here again? Maybe, but it would depend on what I was in Vegas for!
