Le Cirque

There are only 16 tables at Le Cirque, a spot on the Strip where you’ll feel like part of the Illuminati as you dine among casino VIPs and look out at the Bellagio fountains. This is the place to splurge in Vegas, so go ahead and commit to the $228 four-course meal. You’ll get to choose from excellent French dishes like velouté with bacon onion jam, rabbit cooked in dijon riesling sauce, and garlic mousse-topped frog legs. If you’re weighing whether you want to spend more on one of the extras like the King crab caviar, it’s better put toward a wine pairing—it’ll save you the trouble of sifting through the 900-bottle list. Plus, you’ll have more time to find the tickets in your email for the Cirque du Soleil show straight across the casino floor.
