| - Aureole was good, but not great, which in my book seems like a damn shame when you're dropping $300+ on a dinner. But, since we were in Vegas, and didn't feel like dining with the masses from Des Moines, we thought we'd have some fun and have a nice dinner to celebrate a great 2006. The PC tablet for the wine list is great in theory, but also sort of gimmicky, and we felt that ultimately the 10,000+ bottle wine selection was a bit overwhelming. Although the sommelier was helpful in narrowing down the choices, it definitely helped to have some knowledge of wine going in. As for the meal itself, again, good, but not great. Nothing really jumps out at me as being a standout, and I can't even recall what I ate at this point. Contrast this to some of my 5-star restaurant experiences, and I can remember every last detail. Finally, but service seemed a bit schizo... we had at least three different waiters, all of whom would show up randomly throughout the meal. So... to sum it up, if you're looking for a unique dining experience in Vegas and love wine, then definitely try Aureole. Just make sure you kick ass at the tables beforehand, otherwise it's kind of a waste of $$.
