Q: I made reservations a month in advance, and I actually had to keep calling because I got tired of the wait! So make sure you call in advance. They also take your credit card info down at the time you make your reservation, because if you cancel and don't give them enough time, they charge your card like $50! Friends of ours were also in town and decided that Saturday to go eat there. The only time they got was a 5:30pm time. They were still there when we arrived for our 6:30pm reservation. To our dismay, they were seated right by the windows. We were disapointed as we were seated at a booth as far away from the windows, and right by the walking area / preparation area of the servers. But as the night went out, we realized we actually had a nice view and didn't have to turn our necks to enjoy it. And it doesn't rotate as quickly as you'd think, we saw the strip maybe 2 or 3 times the entire time we were there. We both got steaks, and they were good, nothing outstanding, but I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. The dessert was amazing though - we got the chocolate Stratosphere with the fruit and it was SO GOOD. It's worth it to go just for the dessert. It's a bit of a hike, and you have to go through some sketchy parts of the strip if you walk here, but it's a Vegas "must go" if you have the $$$. OPTIONS:

Q: I like this Fat Tuesday location more than the one at Planet Hollywood/Miracle Mile because this one is more than just a counter/stand. Bonus points also, because it's right next to Express and the random fish tank show thing at Caesar's? Peach Bellini is hands down my fav. lovelovelove. I am not a big fan of tasting the alcohol, and this definitely does the trick. When you're done with your half yard, keep the bottle (for refills of course), because it makes a really amusing sound when you whack it against things. Try it. tl;dr: Peach Bellini Peach Bellini OPTIONS:

Q: My analysis of the myriad of glowing five star reviews: A.) This place is the default "most expensive food in Vegas" so I think it attracts people who aren't accomplished in much other then spending cash. B.) When you drop 500-1200 a person on dinner it is really hard to admit that the food and experience is less the five stars. I have enjoyed opportunities to dine at some really swanky places with prices that do command a healthy cash flow. Joel Robuchon was by far the most overrated, unimpressive, and exorbitantly expensive meal I have ever indulged. I guarantee if you are dropping the cash on this experience your are likely not staying at the MGM where the restaurant is located. The MGM Grand? Come on folks.... The place is like a goddamn amusement park and holds ranks and class with the likes of the fabulous Luxor and New York New York. So they pick you up at your far more modern and luxurious hotel in a funky ass, old, skankafied beige limo that says "MGM Grand on the side." Right on! Like everyone gushes, you are rolled up to some ally entrance in the back of the hotel and are ushered in to an impressive hotel that you will NOT be staying at anytime soon. Personally, if I was dropping 5K a night to stay at this private hotel, I would be pissed off that they shuttle some two bit strip dwellers through my private space so they can ooh and ahh while strutting through. The whole entrance thing is complete theater, at the end of your tour you are dumped out into the reality of the MGM's casino floor area. The hotel is old, and dumpy. The restaurant design is classic stuffy french with a large helping of schizophrenic circus flare. Don't be put off if the hostess, captain, and most all the wait staff put on a strange stuffiness that is not warm, nor is it directly dismissive. It is the perfect balance of cocky that makes most general, submissive diners feel they have been blessed with the opportunity to dine. The bread cart is a complete exhibition and a method to fill patrons up on inexpensive bread. You won't find warm, fresh bread. Just a bunch of gimmicky ass, stale, cold pieces of herb, cheese, and bacon bread. I ordered the full tasting menu. In asking my options with the Sommelier, I was offered the option of three tasting costs. Never have I been offered the option to choose my wine pairing based on cost levels. To top it off, the price levels were some bullshit like $299, $599, or $999. Let's just say, 300, 600, or 1000 for christ sake. I went with the most "modestly priced" wine pairing and I was blown away with the swill they poured me. The food was interesting, it was prepared well, some items were delicious however most of the 16 were just uninspired combinations of expensive ingredients. An example was a piece of cold asparagus, cut down the middle stuffed with beluga.. Yay! Most dishes that should have come out hot or at least warm, came out cold. Pretty, but cold. Dessert was ridiculously long winded, as they felt the need to review two dozen little candies on yet another cart. My share was $900.00 and I left with a huge chip on my shoulder. Never again.

Q: the hostess is rude and the service over all is extremely poor. It took over 1 1/2 to eat lunch. They did not have the lunch specials available nor did they have mochi ice cream. The customers next to us order gyozas and so did I. They sat down after us but still received their food before us. Also, we order their ice cream parfait and it took at least 15+ minutes to receive it. I would not recommend eating here! OPTIONS:
