Even in Vegas it doesn't get much posher than Costa di Mare, where you can book a private cabana beside Wynn's Lake of Dreams and dine on fresh Mediterranean blue rock lobster under fluttering white canopies. The upscale Italian-style seafood restaurant has a short, highly specialized menu – the whole fish served are indigenous to Italy, and simply prepared. Reservations essential.
