Bouchon

Top choice in Las Vegas


Napa Valley wünderkind Thomas Keller's rendition of a Lyonnaise bistro features a seasonal menu of French classics. The poolside setting complements the oyster bar (open 3pm to 10pm daily) and an extensive raw seafood selection. Decadent breakfasts and brunches, imported cheeses, caviar, foie gras and a superb French and Californian wine list all make appearances. Reservations recommended.

The Venetian's trio of Bouchon Bakery locations (open 6am to 9pm) are sweet spots for macaroons, petits fours, hot chocolate and espresso to go.
