Aureole at the Mandalay, extraordinary fine dining and the best wine cellar in anywhere.....  Was just in town let me know if I can help.  I beleieve we have some common friends from Phoenix....

lots of thoughts on the mater since I must entertain clients in town frequently.  But guaranteeing that guys will not hit on hot looking ladies is not possible.  But best of luck anyway----   By the way - welcome to LV -- I have always enjoyed your DC posts..

Prime in the Bellagio is first-class.. best steakhouse in town, classy, dress-up kind of place.  Get a fountain view table.  You can have drinks first on the terrace bar between Picasso and Prime- one of the best kept secrets in Vegas.  The Caramel Bar in the Bellagio is usually quiet for a drink afterwards.  Rock on, GirlinDC- I really like your style.

Red Square at the Mandalay

I haven't been in a few years, but I really enjoyed the food there, and the vodka bar is impressive.

Aquanox, at the Venitian, seafood.  Bradley Ogden and Nero's, at Caesers.  I'll second Prime, at Bellagio.  You might try the restaurant, up the Eiffel tower.

Mon Ami's at the Paris, get a table right on the strip off to the side for privacy, and for a good view of Bellagio fountains, and the crusin. For more privacy, Buzio's at Rio used to have big booths but they took them out so you may opt for Wolfgang Puk's place at the Venetian which is by the courtyard where there are frequent Renaissance type performers - singers, dancers, musicians, and pavoracci (sp) look alikes. and I hear other celeb look alikes. The steak house at Luxor, is back east style and also private. There are some off strip places too, off Boulder highway but they are more Confetti like places for more confined. I wish that they had more places with the big boothes in them.

Thank you all!

For the great recommendations and a few of the compliments.  I was not expecting that a few of you from this board have read my posts in DC.

I look forward to visiting Vegas for one of the best trips I've had in a long time.
