| - This is the perfect place for gentlemen to take ladies whom they truly wish to impress, or for those business folks who desire to take a potential client to a venue where they can be persuaded to "sign on the line."
Either way, you'll have a great time, albeit an expensive one. It's not at all unusual for a dinner for two costing around $200, so save your pennies.
The TOTW was chosen one year, when the governors of all 50 states were meeting here in Las Vegas. Can you imagine the entire states' leadership in one location, 800 feet above the ground?
The view is spectacular (see the attached photos), the food is sensational, and the service is terrific. What more do you need?
The restaurant "spins" at a speed where one complete revolution takes approximately one hour, and my social engagements there averaged "two complete spins." There is also a unique kind of "optical illusion" that is experienced while you're dining there, but it isn't mentioned all that much.
As you're seated and eating, watching your scenery constantly changing before you, you come to believe that you are in some kind of "flying saucer," HOVERING over the city. You don't think of yourself as being in a building; you feel that you might be aboard some sort of an aircraft, which actually adds to your enjoyment. (Another way to truly enjoy your visit, is to pay for it with your company's expense account.)
Just one bit of advice or "admonishment" from me, if you please...
If you are one of those folks who will probably go there only ONCE during your lifetime, let me suggest that you go only at night (to get the most from your visit), and that afterwards, you go up to the next level to have your after-dinner drinks in their "stationary" cocktail lounge.
