| - We just went here for dessert, after dinner at Lavo, but what a spectacular, classy experience it was. They close at 10, I believe, but when we walked in around 11 and asked if they could seat us for dessert, they said, "Absolutely." Walking into the circus themed dining room, with dark wood panels and windows overlooking Lake Bellagio, you almost forget you're in Vegas...that is, until the Bellagio fountains show begins. I can only judge the food from my one dessert and the little dessert sampler they bring out with it, but if all the food is as good as these items, then Le Cirque rightfully deserves to be one of the top 10 restaurants on the Strip. Our dessert (I can't remember the name) was a marvelous creation of strawberries, creme, and streussel in an egg shaped bowl made out of ice and floating on a bowl of pink-colored ice chips. And the dessert sampler they brought out with it (always a classy touch) was just as wonderful. Service here is as fine as anywhere in Vegas - the staff is the definition of restaurant professionalism. When you leave, they give you little boxes to take home with little drawers that pull out, each holding a truffle candy. These small, classy touches, top-notch service, and extraordinary cuisine (from what I can tell by the little we had) truly validate Le Cirque's AAA Five Diamond rating.
