| - Ok, this may sound like blasphemy (sp?), but Red 8 is my favorite restaurant at the Wynn. And no, Red 8 is not the only restaurant I have been to at the Wynn.
Why do I like Red 8 so much? Because they're not trying so hard. WIng Lei is an over-priced mess of a Chinese restaurant....all the flash and glitter, all the hype, but crappy food. Tableau is a decent French restaurant, but nothing special (despite the hype). Corsa Cucina is an average Italian restaurant. SW is nothing special....decent steaks, but that's about it. Okada is a great place for sushi, and I'm a fan. But all the places at the Wynn try to appear more than they actually are. However, Red 8 is different. No reservations taken, nice open seating, decent asian food (mix of Thai, Chinese, asian-fusion, etc), good drinks, etc. The menu is simple, the food is good, and try the sea bass. Order one of those kiwi drinks, grab a couple beers, and truly enjoy a decent meal. You don't have to dress up. You don't have to pretend to be someone. You don't have to spend through the nose. The service is good, and you can always depend on Red 8 for a good meal. And if you think Red 8 is expensive, then you might want to re-consider Vegas trips. Red 8 isn't cheap, but it's ok relative to other Vegas establishments.
