"I love this place!\n\nI can't afford to eat here.\n\nCompromise: We go and order small plates and drinks at the bar. \n\nI tend to judge restaurants immediately by the type of bottled water they serve. Acqua Panna is almost always a good sign. Every thing I've eaten here has been exquisite, but I've been less then thrilled with their quite expensive signature drinks...now we stick to their reds by the glass.\n\nTip: Eiffel Tower Restaurant is usually one of the more affordable spots to watch New Years and July 4th fireworks. You can eat a prix fixe menu, or just eat/drink at the bar and pay the special event cover (I think it was $50 last year).\n\nThere is bar seating that faces directly out onto the strip, with a stunning view of the bellagio fountains. Even at the main bar...lovely views.\n\nAnd if you are ballin like that, and have dinner, there is hardly a bad seat in the house.\n\nEnjoy!"^^ . "5"^^ . "2010-12-15T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ .
