We go every year for CES & always take groups of similar size. The big question is how much do you want to spend? In most good restaurants with drinks & decent wine, you will top $2K.

Recent fails:

Rosemary’s Restaurant: mixed good & so-so food (yucky sauce on steaks), veggies arrived at end of meal, took ˝ hr for bill
Japonais (Mirage): Great for 2 years running but this year they overcooked ˝ our table’s steaks & weren’t nice about replacing them & sliding us some free wine while the rest of the table waited
Piero’s: A big fail on the food last year
Zefferino (Venetian): Way, way overpriced for so-so food & service
Landry's Seafood House: Avoid it. Trust me.

Recent successes:

Onda (Mirage): Good Northern Italian
Charley Palmers (Mandalay/Four Seasons): The best steaks in Vegas. Atmosphere like a private club with lots of room between tables. Not cheap but worth it.
Binions Steak House: Old school steak house downtown. Always good. Tired environment though.
Circo (Bellagio): Good Northern Italian. Not cheap.
Le Circe (Bellagio): Expensive French. Go with the tasting menu. A quiet place.
Circus Circus Steakhouse: Decent slabs of beef. Old school – almost campy.
Alan Alberts: Steaks. Reliable & old school. Here you could make noise without guilt. A Vegas standard.
Panevino: Italian. I haven't been but several people raved about it after the show.

Concur.

Every insanely expensive meal I've had in Vegas (on business trips when I wasn't paying) the meals were mediocre at best. The few times I've walked out of a place shaking my head at how awesome the food was and wanting to come back the next day were at a few Chinese places well away from the Strip. And they were dirt, dirt cheap, relative to the Strip places. Mon Ami is a chain and it's ok, but stupid expensive for what you get. There's one in Bethesda, MD I used to go to a lot because of a connection there that made it almost free for me. But if I were paying the tab, I wouldn't even consider such a place.

One thing to consider is that the marquis chef that is listed at Wynn and Encore is on duty. Most, if not all of the other places in town are in name only. How many resturants does Emerill have?

Someone mentioned Bartolotta at WLV, they fly in their fish from the Mediterranian daily. Most of the fish I had never heard of, but the servers can tell you all you need to know.
