About the restaurant
The name is legendary. The experience unforgettable. Immerse yourself in the brilliant colors of this lakeside destination and prepare for a meal as bold and transcendent as your surroundings. Le Cirque's opulent dining room, designed by Adam D. Tihany, exudes celebration, setting the stage for an inimitable French menu that has drawn raves and accolades—including a perennial AAA Five Diamond Award rating and Forbes Travel Guide 5 Star Rating —since the restaurant’s creation by Sirio Maccioni . A coveted wine list and attentive service complete an evening at Le Cirque—one that will remain in your memory for years to come.

Absolutely the best meal and culinary experience my husband and I have ever had! Oysters were killer, foie gras was impeccable, and the chocolate bomb exploded with decadence! Fredric, the sommelier, gave us ultra-personal attention and understood my pallet immediately. Only problems: mandated 4-course menu and price. We’ll head there, first thing, when we return to Vegas!

Overpriced but overall good because of the scarcity of good vegan food anywhere else on the strip.

Food and service were excellent. I ordered off the happy hour menu which had several good options at reasonable prices. Even though I went for dinner they had some house made pastries that were being sold for half price. The pastry with blueberries was delicious. Given my good experience at dinner, I definitely plan to go for brunch as many things on the menu look very good.

Dining at Trattoria Italia is like being transported to the real deal in Italy! There are so many authentic touches - from an incredible array of wines, real wood furnishings, servers with charming Italian accents, but most importantly, there is obvious pride in serving finest Italian cuisine! Their garlic knots are insanely fresh and delicious! Then for an opening appetizer we had the zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and herbs, lightly breaded and fried. I wanted more but knew I wouldn’t have room for the entree! Once again we ordered the lobster ravioli - absolutely scrumptious! The sauce is just flat-out decadent! Our server, Rosella, was very gracious, and recommended their cannolis for dessert. We happily agreed! Rosella was unobtrusively attentive and helpful, yet we enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy a leisurely afternoon that felt like being in a trattoria in sunny Italy! We’ve been here before for dinner, when they have live musicians playing dinner music - so pleasant and enchanting! This is great neighborhood gem, and a wonderful place to bring any holiday guests if you’re running low on hostess ambition and stamina!
