Recommend restaurants in the new Las Vegas City Center?
We will be heading to Las Vegas next month. We’re eager to check out the new City Center. It looks like there’s a really nice selection of restaurants, and I’m looking for recommendations from people who have eaten at any of them.
Also, what do you think of the new place? Is it pretty impressive?
Go to planet hollywood and it has a buffet $30 per person and it has 5 star foods
I live here and it is a ghost town.
I went one day to have a look and it is void of people.
Lots of game dealers standing around looking at their shoes.
Restaurants are without any people, so you will not wait on line.
Access by car is crazy, and really messed up. Take the tram that is the only way you will not be frustrated.
But, have a look at the place. It is new and designed nicely.
And then do yourself a favor and go somewhere else to eat, where the food will be fresh and you will actually see people again.
I went to City Center at the beginning of January. Pretty much stayed around the area, just to get to know it. It is a pain with a car. But as far as dining, I enjoyed a meal early evening before it became a night club at the restaurant by the Desperate Housewife chick Eva Longoria outside the shopping area. (the crab cake, soups and sauces for steaks and fish were good)
At Aria, I dined at Julian Serrano and it was a bunch of small, tapas plates for lunch. I ate many items but remember liking the Spanish Chicken Croquetas and Creamy Risotto. The menu was endless!
Another meal was at Jean Georges Steakhouse for dinner, (steaks were very good, and calamari was a great appetizer) Although I think I would have rather gone to Maestro’s.
American Fish was excellent, Grilled, Poached or Baked fish, Michael Mina could do no wrong. It was also nice that it wasn’t too busy.
I also loved the Lemongrass Thai food for a casual lunch. There were five of us, and we all ordered different items and shared everything. Very tasty. (I think mine was a spicy prawn dish, but everyone’s was great. We let the waitress choose a few too.
Overall, each of the restaurants at CityCenter were good. I have dined at a lot (A LOT) of places in Las Vegas and haven’t always enjoyed every dining experience. I couldn’t complain about any of them at the City Center. (oh and I was with a bunch of foodies and they liked all the restaurants too)
Happy Dining!
I am sorry, I should have added that the art work and fountains are amazing and impressive. If you can, get a little brochure from a concierge about the art and fountains and wander around to find the various pieces. I went home and looked up info about the artists online, but wished while I was there the brochures had more info about them. Fountains are also included in the shopping area. It was pretty quiet there. I didn’t get a spa treatment and was annoyed that I wasn’t able to see inside Aria’s spa. (as a guest – you would think) So if you have the time, get a treatment, I hear the place is nice (I personally love Caesar’s and the Mirage).
Beso is in the Crystals at CityCenter Mall. (Eva Longoria’s place) Lobster Bisque and Tortilla Soup were both good. Heard great things listed on Mbizzle’s answers.
