| The MGM Grand is almost more like an entertainment center than
just another "strip" hotel. If fact, once you walk into the Grand, you
will understand why they call it a "city of
entertainment." Here you will find everything from dining and great
accommodations, to megashows and sports events. More of a resort than a hotel,
the MGM Grand stands at one of the busiest intersections in the world, directly
across from the New York-New York hotel. Upon entering the MGM Grand, visitors are immersed in the glamour and excitement of
sophisticated shows, gourmet dining, hip nightlife, a relaxing pool and spa,
the wonders of an African Lion Habitat and much more. With over 5,000 rooms,
you are sure to find just the type of accommodations you need.

magnificent "World of Entertainment." |

Joël Robuchon at The Mansion
Known around the world as "Chef of the Century," legendary French Chef Joël
Robuchon has come straight out of retirement to open his very first and only
fine dining French restaurant in the United States. Joël Robuchon caters to a
sophisticated palate that features a menu of his finer specialties that
redefines Las Vegas fine dining. The traditional French cuisine reflects
Robuchon's respect for the finest ingredients. Limited seating creates the
intimacy one can expect from Joël Robuchon. Reservations strongly recommended.
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
The French cuisine of the "Chef of the Century" is reason enough
to visit L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon. Add the unique counter service where your
dinner is prepared right before your eyes, and you have a combination that is
unlike any other. It is Las Vegas fine dining at its best. Enjoy tapas, a
tasting menu, and wines from around the world in a friendly and interactive
atmosphere.
Craftsteak
Celebrity chef Tom Colicchio insists on the finest
ingredients from small family farms and other specialized venues. A James Beard
award-winning chef, Colicchio is emphatic when it comes to creating menu items
that appeal to all lovers of fine food. Using the purest ingredients and a
philosophy that simpler is better, he makes every dish burst forth with flavor.
While this famous steakhouse offers mainstays like Kobe Beef, it also tempts
your taste buds with veal, salmon and lobster dishes.
Seablue
Featured on the cover of Wine Spectator,
SEABLUE is the creation of James Beard award-winning chef Michael Mina. Inspired
by the bustling ports and marketplaces of the Mediterranean, the innovative
restaurant’s two lively open kitchens prepare seafood over a wood-fired grill.
The ocean theme is carried throughout the space with walls of stone and water.
Nobhill
Inspired by San Francisco neighborhood eateries, chef
Michael Mina has organic produce and poultry flown in direct from San Francisco
to capture the taste and feel of the Bay Area. The James Beard award-winning
chef's signature dishes like North Beach Cioppino and Lobster Pot Pie pay
tribute to the City by the Bay, while the cozy bar and lounge make guests feel
right at home.
Emeril's New Orleans Fish House
You've seen his TV show, you've read his cookbooks,
now sample the signature dishes of one of America's most popular chefs - Emeril
Lagasse. The celebrity chef gives Las Vegas fine dining his signature "bam!"
With scallops from Maine, pike from the Midwest, and chicken from Alabama,
Emeril's serves a fresh and distinctive blend of Creole/Cajun specialties. Add
to that a wine list that received Wine Spectator's 1999 "Best of Award
of Excellence," and funky New Orleans architecture, and you'll feel closer to
Bourbon Street than the Vegas Strip.
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill
One of the most recognizable names in food today -
Wolfgang Puck - reinvents American bar and grill food. Here, you'll find a
unique interpretation of California cuisine prepared with a new spirit. The
combination is best described as beachfront bistro meets classic bar and grill.
And the taste is, well, let's just say you have to try this one. After all, a
Wolfgang Puck restaurant is more than a restaurant, it's an experience.
Fiamma Trattoria
Straight from SoHo, where it earned the coveted
Three Star designation from The New York Times, Fiamma presents
traditional Italian cuisine in sleek, sexy surroundings. Enjoy cocktails
fireside before or after dinner. But it is the food that is the star. Chef
Michael White brings authentic Italian fare from Sicily and Milan to your table,
including braised veal osso bucco, ricotta cheese tortelli and Bolognese
rigatoni.
Pearl
Cuisine with an essence of the Canton and Shanghai
provinces, prepared utilizing the four Chinese cooking methods: steamed,
braised, baked and fried. Although live seafood is the specialty, chef Kai-Wa
Yau prefers a menu that is constantly changing to take advantage of seasonal
offerings. The masterful cooking is paired with a serene and contemporary
Chinese atmosphere.
Rainforest Cafe
This is a great place to bring the kids!
Part adventure, part restaurant and wholly entertaining for the
whole family, the Rainforest Café recreates a tropical rainforest with
waterfalls, lush vegetation, and indigenous creatures. You enter through a
10,000-gallon double archway aquarium. Inside the family-style restaurant, the
food continues the rainforest theme with the Primal Steak, Rumble in the Jungle
Turkey Pita, and other exotic fare.
Diego
Traditional recipes hand-picked from the Mexican
countryside create the foundation for chef Christopher Palmeri's bold menu. Then
he makes them completely his own. Using honest ingredients and modern
techniques, he enlivens authentic Mexican dishes with new twists to create new
favorites like carne asada or cochinita pibil. You'll find the bright and
vibrant restaurant just as exciting as the food.
Grand Wok and Sushi Bar
A culinary cross-section of Chinese, Japanese, Thai,
Korean and Vietnamese, the Grand Wok satisfies your craving for Asian cuisine.
So, where to start? How about the sushi bar? With so many choices, you'll find
something new every time you visit. The restaurant's bamboo and black granite
accents make the perfect backdrop for the cascading waterfall and polished stone
pond.
Shibuya

destination for Japanese cuisine. Direct from the stylish Tokyo district that
bears its name, Shibuya features freshly prepared ingredients, stellar sushi,
and the widest sake selection this side of the Pacific. All served in an airy
and ambient setting. Experience the sleek urban elegance of Shibuya. And
transport yourself to the Far-from-ordinary East.
Studio Café
Reminiscent of an Art Deco era café, the Studio Café
stays open 24 hours a day. So whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast
or a late-night snack, it's the place to go. The menu ranges from traditional to
gourmet with dishes such as Eggs Benedict, Roast Prime Rib of Beef, and Filet &
Lobster.

hotdogs, lox and bagels. Check it out. But don't forget about the perfectly
seasoned soups, fresh salads, and pastries.
