| - Where do I begin... I've been to grand lux so many times in my 8 years in Vegas. I prefer the newer palazzo location to the Venetian mainly because of convenience. Parking and walking from the Venetian is such a hassle, while if you know where to park at palazzo it'll take you up right by grand lux.
The restaurant is appropriately named - the decor is both grand and lux especially for what is basically a casino coffee shop. High open ceilings with lots of mirrors and other shinies, comfy seats and always very clean w great service every time.
I don't think I've ever had anything I didn't like, but I usually stick to my favs. Its hard for me to resist my sunday night pasta - its spaghetti with a meat sauce made up of a lot of different things. Meant to be like a dish where you throw all of the week's leftovers together (but made fresh) its packed with short ribs, hamburger, sausage, mushrooms and I'm sure other things I forgot about. The portion's huge, easily 2 maybe 3 meals especially if you fill up on their warm crusty bread and butter. I'm embarrassed to admit that our basket always needs a refill :)
Other things worth mentioning - duck pot stickers, shrimp w pasta, short rib grilled cheese, their burger w short ribs on top. We're usually too stuffed to get dessert but I finally remembered this time to plan ahead and order the warm rustic apple pie. It's baked to order so takes 20 minutes, I'd suggest putting it in with your dinner order. Even if you forget to order ahead of time, it's well worth the wait. As you can see in the picture its really more of an apple tart. Warm flaky pastry crust, sweet but slightly tart apple slices, topped with vanilla ice cream and finished with powdered sugar. I'd go back just for that pie.
Give grand lux a try if you've never been. Their massive menu is guaranteed to have something that everyone will like.
