| - We just now left Lakeside feeling very underwhelmed on multiple levels.
First, we walked in with no reservation and although there were multiple tables available at the "lake side" the entire time we were dinning, we were told that those are reserved for people who make reservations. So yes, I joked with the guy about going outside and calling him... but, in fact we were "punished" and had to eat inside for being walkins!
Next, I know this place has a $$$$ rating , but we didn't know that, and what was shocking to me was that there was no bottle of red wine available under $70. Period. Zip. Never seen that on the strip before.
Next, the food... I had the scallops, and my wife had the Lobster risotto, and while it was ok, it was highly unremarkable for the price. Also, the portions are "euro style" so if you are a hungry American used to decent sized portions, better give it a miss.
Finally, the "shows" over the water are really tacky.. there's one with a giant mechanical frog that sings "it's a wonderful world" and then some "dancing colored balls" on the water that act like a flirting couple that eventually has a baby ball!?! Embarrassingly tacky at the very least and just makes you shake your head. Imagine the people in a meeting designing that... "yeah, and then we'll have this giant frog sing on top of the waterfall! It will be amazing!.. Yeah!"
Suffice to say, this was sufficiently bad as to assure we never step foot in the Wynn again. There's plenty of choice in Vegas after all.
