good thread.

one thing i realised this weekend is that it's easy to forget just how impressive the service at delmonicos is to someone who doesn't eat at balla restaurants all the time. she will absolutely love it.

your table has a team of waiters, when they bring a course everythjing is placed down in front of you at the same time, the staff are very knowledgeable and pleasant, then theres little touches like them folding your napkin when you go to the bathroom, etc. i have been about 4 times now and don't really notice stuff like this anymore but a girl i went with last week had a big smile on her face throughout the meal. plus the food is great.

Recently, I had dinner there with my brother. He was going to arrive about 15 minutes late. They had no problem seating me, taking a drink order, and just letting me wait. No stares or busy bodying me. A small touch, but indicative of good service. The rest of the dinner, they treated us like kings.

I was planning to take my wife to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian sometime during Christmas season. Seems to be a romantic enough show and a good Xmas present.

A few comments:

* What's the deal with the price of rooms at the Venetian? It's $100/night more than even the Wynn or the Bellagio. I can't imagine it's worth $350/night when I can stay at the Bellagio for $250/night, right? (I've never stayed at a nice Vegas hotel. Last two times I was at the Luxor and the Tropicana, so I'm willing to spend more, but not that much more.)

* Is there a secondary market for show tickets? I can't find any Phantom tickets at Stubhub. That worries me because, if I buy these tickets now, but can't make the show, will I be able to get a refund or get rid of the tickets?

* How's MGM Grand Signature? Hotels.com gives it a rave review. Is it as nice as Wynn/Bellagio?

i used to always stay at venetian 4-5 yrs ago, but the rooms are now really outdated decor wise and def not as nice as wynn or bellagio.

I posted back in the Restaurants in LV thread I think in B&M that our experience at Delmonico's was only "better than average" imo.
The steak I had was not terrific. No, I don't remember what I ordered.

Based on everyone else's drooling for this place I wouldn't be opposed to giving it another try but we'll have a lot of other restaurants to try too when we get back out to LV again and since we've already done Delmonico's and it wasn't mind-blowingly spectacular for us I don't think it will be very high on the list.

However, Nobu is a restaurant that we already tried also, and I'm pretty sure that's going to be one of the FIRST places we hit upon our return to LV.

Delmonico's wasn't lousy in the least. But we were hardly blown-away.

bob,

we had been to delmonicos earlier on the trip and it was very busy. we got put on a table round the outside of the room, had one server, the food was blah, mediocrity all round. the second time we went back was perfection.

our house for barbeque and beers, obv.

seriously though, great restaraunts and shows at all the big hotels, youll have no issue finding anything.

I personally thought that Jubilee was very well done...i dont know if you feel comfortable taking her to a topless show though, but its mainly couples anyways and pretty upscale.
