| - The food is here is good but not excellent but still worth the price, assuming you remember that you're in Vegas and that everything is at least somewhat overpriced. The view is amazing of course and it just makes for a real fun experience.
For starters we sampled the cheese / fruit plate and I had a shrimp cocktail. Both were pretty good. For entrees, my date had the lobster ravioli and I had the surf and turf, a 10z fillet with a 8oz lobster tail. Everything was delicious and we were both very satisfied. The service was good and attentive.
The only real detractor in the evening was a manifestation of the "compelled photography" experience that is becoming increasingly prevalent in Vegas. Any time you do something even remotely touristy in Vegas, they want to force you to stand or sit somewhere and get your picture taken, so that later on someone in your group will see the picture up on a screen, have a very emotional reaction to it and insist that you buy it, usually for no less than 15 dollars. Well, this has found its way unfortunately even into this restaurant.
The photographer was an older lady who bordered on being crass. We agreed to let her take the photographs and she does shots of each of us individually - including some very contrived poses - and then a couple of shots together. Then she comes back a while later and gives you the sales pitch, like trying to convince you to pick five (!!!) different photos and get them all in some fancy book. Lady, this isn't my high school or college graduation and it's not my wedding. I'm not going to pass this down as a fairly heirloom, so relax.
One of the photos did come out VERY nice and so I bought it, but the whole experience took way too long, felt too forced and in general broke up the last part of the meal too much. They need someone who can get in there, take just a couple of photos nice and fast and be charming enough to not make it feel like an ordeal. And maybe do the sales pitch after I've left the dinner table. The idea isn't terrible, it just needs better execution. It didn't even really detract from the evening that much, you just kind of get out of it and go, "Wow, really?"
This place was an enjoyable experience but to be honest, once is enough. There are enough other places on The Strip with great food that I won't be compelled to return here. But if you've never done it before, it's fun and worth checking out.
