Wynn Las Vegas

This is the newest luxury hotel to hit The Strip. Steve Wynn has done it again, only this time even more elegantly and luxurious, with original works of art by Van Gogh & Picasso and such upscale boutiques as Chanel and Louis Vuitton. This gleaming bronze tower even has its own Tom Fazio-designed golf course. The oversized rooms are contemporary and very stylish, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, flat screen TV’s and large marble baths.

Four Seasons, Las Vegas

The Four-Seasons is a one-of-a-kind experience in Vegas, far removed for the hustle and bustle of the Strip, yet only an elevator ride away. This gorgeous, elegant hotel is actually on the 35-39 floors of the Mandalay Bay Resort, yet this “hotel within a hotel” is surprisingly separate and offers incredible views in a non-gaming environment. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated.

The Bellagio Hotel

This Mediterranean Villa-style hotel has long been admired as a place of beauty and elegance. From the moment you enter the exquisite lobby, with its glass sculpture masterpiece soaring above you, to its spectacular botanical gardens, you know that you have arrived to a luxurious environment of elegance, opulence, relaxation, and excitement.

Skylofts at MGM Grand

Skylofts is a luxury Boutique Hotel that recently opened, located on the top two floors of the MGM Grand. It was created to be a private sanctuary, with amazing views and the utmost in luxury and service. The units are one-, two-, and three-bedroom “loft-style” units, featuring ultra-contemporary furnishings and 2-story windows. The incredible bath has an infinity-edge tub and a waterfall shower.

The hotel at Mandalay Bay

The hotel is a newer, stand-alone tower at the Mandalay Bay Resort. This cosmopolitan and sophisticated hotel has a chic, understated feel about it. The “suite-style” rooms are huge, over 750sf, with a separate sleeping area, modern furnishings, marble & granite baths and plasma TV’s. Their restaurant and swanky lounge “Mix” is situated high atop the hotel and a definite hotspot.

The Venetian Hotel

The Venetian Resort is a tribute to Italian opulence, with its polished marble floors, domed ceilings, roman columns and various statues throughout. The rooms are spacious and have marble baths. You can spend your entire trip here, trying out the various different gourmet restaurants, such as Lutece and Postrio, each night, then relax in the Canyon Club spa/gym during the day.

Caesars Palace

Caesars Palace has played host to celebrities and high-rollers since its opening in 1966. Since then it has greatly expanded into four towers and two casinos. The world-class gaming casino is truly an experience, with its dark, elegant atmosphere. I have always loved the opulent Garden-of -the Gods, a 4 ½-acre pool area with roman statues, marble columns and private cabanas.

Mirage Hotel

The Mirage is a tropical paradise filled with colorful flowers and plants and home to an incredible erupting volcano show nightly. The lagoon-shaped pool is fantastic, complete with waterslides, waterfalls, lagoons and islands, all set among a variety of lush topical plants and trees. Take a peek at the White Tiger Habitat exhibit, and for a small charge you can visit the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat.

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino

This Parisian-themed hotel features Paris landmarks, storefronts and even the Eiffel Tower. Outside you can dive into their amazing 11-acre tropical sand beach, complete with waves, or into one of their 3 outdoor pools. There is a fabulous spa and the Shark Reef aquarium. At night you can dine at one of the many restaurants, including the highly acclaimed “3950″ or “Mix” atop THEhotel Tower.

Paris Las Vegas

Driving down the Strip, you can’t miss the Paris Las Vegas Hotel with its ½ scale replica of the Eiffel Tower outside. Visitors can take an elevator ride to the top for some fantastic views, or have French cuisine on the 11th floor. Inside the hotel features other famous Paris landmarks as well as a Parisian street scene, complete with roving Frenchmen and “outdoor” cafes.

Botero – named for the South American painter, sculptor, and artist Fernando Botero. Botero Steak has the artistic style of the artist with paintings on the walls and a tremendous sculpture of a rotund woman in the center of the restaurant. Botero’s signature curvatures are present in everything from the silverware to the menu, giving the restaurant a gastronomic design and feel. Immediately, diners realize this isn’t any ordinary steakhouse; Botero Steak is sleek, modern, and sophisticated, with a circular dining room that overlooks the Encore pools and integrates into XS Nightclub.

Helmed by Chef Mark LaRusso, Botero Steak emphasizes steak, with fresh seafood and appetizer offerings. For a tasty but light appetizer to the main dish, the restaurant offers tartare and crudo selections along with salads, soups, and other seafood appetizers. We recommend the Dungeness Crab Agnolotti, served with artichoke and a lemon emulsion sauce. Or, for a massive starter fit for a group, order the Shellfish Tower, an impressive spread of select oysters, gulf prawns, Maine lobster, and crab.

The entrees at Botero are more filling and equally delicious, with the main offering consisting of steak, served in your style of choice from peppersteak, chimichurri, and traditional. For a satisfying meal for two, try the Chateaubriand, a moist and perfectly cooked thick tenderloin cut that comes beautifully presented in a copper pot. For those wishing to dine on something different, however, Botero offers a few surf and turf entrees as well. The Olive Oil-Poached Halibut is a simple but delicious meal served with haricot verts, fingerling potatoes, and warm balsamic vinaigrette.

Many sides are available to accompany each generous entrée, including LaRusso’s signature tater tots, with its perfectly cooked crispy exterior and its well-seasoned interior. The truffle macaroni and cheese is also a popular side dish, a creamy delight that you may find yourself finishing long before your steak.

Botero Steak is set to become one of Las Vegas’ most popular steakhouses, with its fresh, modern artwork and hearty, satisfying dishes. One can also visit the chic XS Nightclub next door, several trendy and flavorsome nights out are sure to begin at Botero Steak.
