Best French
Onion soup at a restaurant called Mon Ami Gabi at the
Paris Las Vegas, French food like in Paris. We love sitting on the patio
area, watching the water show across the street at the Bellagio, or people
watching as they walk by….Don’t forget the crepe desserts!! Bananas Foster
the best!! Moderate ($$$) Great wine list….service always terrific...Taqueria
Cañonita's is a relaxing spot to watch the gondolas go by, listen
to gondoliers sing on the Venetian’s Grand Canal at , service was good, food
good, different. We had the Taco selection, 3 soft tacos, served with black
beans and rice, were delicious…great chips and salsa…..Speaking of
Mexican,
go to Garduno’s at the Palms, all time favorite Vegas
restaurant for Mexican…lots of amazing Margaritas...great salsa bar, I love
the combo plate, 3-4 items of your choice under $10….wife loves the steak
tacos...free dessert, delicious, warm sopapillas with honey….meal for two
with 4 margaritas, and tip was $50….good service….….Grand Lux Cafe at the
Venetian, it’s a grander Cheesecake Factory, big servings of great food...24
hours a day...very large place, seats 550, menu has 150 items...dessert, try
the Molten Chocolate cake!! Meal for two depends, ours was $25....Terrific
buffet for lunch…..our favorite is the Paris Las Vegas Le Village buffet...if
you haven’t tried French cooking, this is the place to check it ALL out…fill
your plate with samples from all the stations... go back for more of what
you like....it’s rich....some items cooked to order...Deli has 3/4 lb. Mega-dog $1.49, ½ rack ribs $4….huge strawberry
shortcake, $1.99, 99¢ (so-so) margarita...coffee shop: hamburger/shake plus
other choices $4.99, and nightly pasta/salad bar... Aqua

Not our choice....Panevino's...off strip location...still great views
of strip/airport but MENU/WINE/PRICE/SERVICE changes have removed this one from our
favorites list....also service was lacking on last visit....I hope they
improve... |
