| - When there are so many other fantastic options in Vegas and Circo demands a $$$$ rating, Circo can only be a 3 star restaurant. Especially when Le Cirque is right next door (obviously a bit more expensive though).
On the plus side, much of the food is quite good, just not as good as other strip restaurants. I had a venison dish which was quite good and a superb banana souffle for desert (presumably made the same as they do in Le Cirque next door.)
The menu is fairly large with plenty of options for everyone and everyone at the dinner was happy with their dishes, happy but not enthralled.
The dining room is gorgeous and the view is spectacular. You can look out the windows with a front row view of the Bellagio fountains and Paris in the background. It truly is gorgeous and in a city as hectic as Vegas, it has to be said that Circo is one of the most calming places to go and eat a dinner. You won't hear the casino floor at all and you'll have this beautiful view.
On the downside, I feel Circo is really overly expensive. I just don't feel the food, service, etc quite warrant the prices that Circo charges. If I'm going to pay the prices that Circo charges, I'd rather pay a bit more for Le Cirque or go to Gordon Ramsay Steak across the street or one of a number of places in Cosmo.
Also, the service is horribly slow. Service in all restaurants on the strip is slow, but I really found service at Circo to be much slower than many others.
Overall, the food's quite good, but as a whole, for me, it's 3 stars.
