| - I was not impressed with the hotel itself... It smelled funny, parking lot elevator was slow and old... I guess not much has changed since sahara. Definitely not as fancy as SLS @ Los Angeles. We weren't prepared for Jose Andreas' restaurant (financially, lol shame on us) So instead, we explored the casino, and Cleo seemed like our next best option. We decided to walk in, and a friendly hostess seated us immediately. It was around 8pm on Friday night, and the restaurant was approx. 90percent full. I saw a lot of couples, and one bachelorette party group of 10. Sexy exotic ambience with gorgeous chandelier, fire place, and open kitchen in the middle of the floor. We immediately order Hummus and Tahini, because a couple next to us was killing it. (Another couple who saw us eating it ended up ordering the same thing too) A hot and fluffy artisan bread came w/ dip and it was heavenly. I was pretty full off the bread and dip, but we went ahead and ordered some more: garlic shrimp, squid and rice, and one sausage I can't remember the name (lamb). All were uniquely flavored, and reasonably priced. We will definitely come back for more. Hopefully we get to be seated by the kitchen next time :)
