| - A delightful and elegant Chinese restaurant located adjacent to the lagoon in front of the Bellagio. Having been to China, I can attest to the authenticity of the decor. The restaurant also features floor-to-ceiling windows, offering an unmatched view of the fountains. The service was extremely attentive but unintrusive, as I've come to expect from the Bellagio. Now, for the food. We ordered a wide array of dishes, as there were 10 of us. The lemon chicken stood out more than anything else, as did the sweet and sour pork. Both were among the best I've ever had, artistically presented, and not at all heavy (none of the food was greasy or heavy, which Americanized Chinese cuisine generally is). Some other highlights were the Mongolian beef (spicy and tender), and the Crème Brulee, which was presented in one of the most creative ways I've ever seen. If you're going to have one nice meal in Vegas, I'd skip Jasmine, because you can find delicious and authentic Chinese food in most major cities, but if you're a diehard fan of this cuisine and want an elegant alternative to more traditional fare, give Jasmine a try.
