Stayed at the Renaissance Hotel for a week long trade show. Envy is a great option for a quiet intimate restaurant, with superb food. Their entree's and appetizers were all of a very high standard. Our steaks were perfectly prepared and cooked to perfection. The side dishes were also excellent.

For those complaining about portion size, that's what the carafe of sangria is for. Keep drinking until you don't realize you've paid $12 for two slices of blue cheese (that you realize was worth it before the buzz kicks in). The ambiance is a very relaxed atmosphere, with the staff welcoming to the trendiest of clientele as well as to the fanny-pack-toting tourists. There are 3 kitchens, including one huge wood fired stove for the paella (which is absolutely divine, worth the 45 minute wait). If you're not sure what to get, the staff asks you about your tastes to give you solid recommendations. Here's what we had with our sangria: - watermelon salad (trust, you'll never look at watermelon the same) - the blue cheese, pear and raisin plate - the lomo (which was so good we had it twice) - the garlic shrimp (also had a second round, and dipped just about everything else we ordered in the sauce) - embutido (by itself) - embutido (on bread with cheese - a nicely salted pork pizza) - the paella with ribs (they only make two types a night but you can order one of the others if you're okay with ordering a huge pan for your table) - chicken fritters which looks like coquettes but tastes like chicken pot pie, served in a shoe (yes, that says shoe - it's the chef's homage to a famous athlete) - flan (super good, I'd come back just for this) - chocolate mousse Everything we had was incredibly well seasoned, with no one taste overcoming the other flavors. Yes, the portions are tiny, but it invites you to try multiple dishes with your dinner companions (and to have more sangria - go with the red over the sparkling). So why does this review get only 4 stars?? Our Campers shoe was only a loafer. They brought someone else's chicken fritters in a cool looking high top. Totally got gypped! (I'll probably change it to 5 stars when I sober up; thank God for auto correct) Hats off to the amazing staff and chefs at Jaleo!!! #moresangriaplease

Worst dining and food I've ever had in Vegas! From the hostess to the wait staff, you feel as though your just being "processed". They walk and talk like zombies. Place seemed dated and dirty but, we were hungry and the wait gave us an idea that it may be good. WRONG! I ordered the prime rib, medium rare with a baked potato and salad. The only thing that was decent was the salad. The steak looked fried and was far from medium rare. The baked potato, I couldn't cut it with my fork. Prime rib should never be served this way. My friend ordered the steak and eggs special and the steak was pretty unidentifiable. He said the eggs were good but, that was it. We would have sent it all back if I wasn't afraid that our food would be tampered with. Noticed two other tables complaining about their food as well. One was because of a long hair hanging off of the plate. Disgusting!

Ruth's chris is like a woman I know, and you know her too, you know... That chick who's got a reputation... Except instead of getting drunk and flashing you at the bar, Ruth's chris' reputation is outstanding service, and the most delicious aged steaks that money can buy. (and believe you me, you'll need to bring some money with you) however, my first experience with this wonderful chain of steak houses was in Baltimore, and after that wonderful experience, the las Vegas cousin didn't quite blow my mind. Yes, the steak and sides were equally amazing. Yet the restaurant layout was a wee bit cramped, and the service seemed more Applebees-esque than what you'd expect from a restaurant with such high esteem. And for the 121.00 dollars I spent on dinner, you think they'd be able to afford to, perhaps, turn on a light or two, it was the DARKEST restaurant I've ever dined in. That being said, I give them four stars, which for a regular establishment, is pretty solid, but for a 'five star' restaurant... It's no bueno. My recommendation, have at least two Hours to kill, and bring small lantern so you can find your silverware. ;-) Cheers!
