The space is crisp and fresh, separated from the casino through a tall wall of glass revealing a lively lounge with long bar located at the front of the restaurant ablaze in weekend small talk and casual flirtation.

The main dining room's walls are lined in comfy banquettes with prime center tables reserved for celebrity patrons like the Weinsteins or Robert De Niro, who's also a partial owner.

Beyond the obvious trend factor, proprietor Agostino Sciandri arranges a serious cooking staff that serves up authentic Tuscan-style dishes including spectacular homemade pastas, veal shanks and Osso Bucco big enough for two.

Mix by Alain Ducasse
Tip: Stay at the hotel and its in-house concierge will pretty much ensure that you snag any reservation time desired.

From the 63rd floor of a gold high-rise, French prodigy Alain Ducasse presides over Vegas' version of the royal court in a grandiose white dining room with spiral staircase and whimsical 15,000-piece hand-blown chandelier.

Designer Patrick Jouin's presents an eccentric vision of the modern penthouse supper club with one of the best views in Vegas.

The bourgeoisie-inspired menu presents tongue-twisting French fare for Black Card carrying jetsetters. Entrees include lobster curry, beef tenderloin and various homemade pastas available with $45 per shave truffles. If not looking for the whole-meal experience, Mix's adjacent lounge has all the ambiance and food with almost no wait.

CUT by Wolfgang Puck
Tip: If a dinner reservation just isn't happening, try a weekend reservation for a late lunch and then hit Palazzo's lavish new Barney's.

While his collection of Wolfgang Puck Cafes quietly fell into bankruptcy, his upscale restaurants are hotter than ever. Wolfgang Puck debuts the second installment of CUT steakhouse in the new Palazzo Hotel and Resort.
