Michael Mina in Las Vegas is a wonderful treat. It's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff is caring and careful as we had someone in our group with severe allergies. Care was taken to make sure she did not get any food that would cause harm. The sommelier spent a fair amount of time helping me to find a wine that I would really enjoy. Someone is watching tables all the time so there are no long delays between courses. We had a great table for people watching and chatting between ourselves. This was not my first visit to Michael Mina but the last time I was there was about 12 or 13 years ago. The chef sends out an amuse bouche to tease your palate. I had the tuna tartare which was delicious. My sister had a salad which was also good. We both had a salmon main which was cooked to perfection. Perfectly moist with a soy glaze. Aside from this meal, I returned the next night because I was eating alone. No reservation. I asked if I could sit and eat at the bar. The staff in the front was kind and welcoming. The staff that had served us the night before came over and thanked me for returning. The sommelier helped me with the same wine. The manager came over and thanked me for coming back. All very gracious, kind and professional. Personally, I was surprised that they remembered or cared. It's Vegas after all with thousands every day wandering through. And they took great care of me that evening. The bartender was always there with whatever I needed. The gnocchi dish I had was wonderful. So, I will be back the next time I get to Las Vegas which I hope is not 12 or 13 years from now but sooner.

About the restaurant

The name is legendary. The experience unforgettable. Immerse yourself in the brilliant colors of this lakeside destination and prepare for a meal as bold and transcendent as your surroundings. Le Cirque's opulent dining room, designed by Adam D. Tihany, exudes celebration, setting the stage for an inimitable French menu that has drawn raves and accolades—including a perennial AAA Five Diamond Award rating and Forbes Travel Guide 5 Star Rating —since the restaurant’s creation by Sirio Maccioni . A coveted wine list and attentive service complete an evening at Le Cirque—one that will remain in your memory for years to come.

One of the most wonderful dining experiences ever! The food is exceptional and the service is legendary. Noteworthy mention and gratefulness to Martin Head Waiter, Frederick Sommelier, and their colleagues Javier, Tom and several others who have worked together for over 27 years at Le Cirque...their impeccable tenure and attention to detail collectively, truly makes them the key difference makers alongside the Chef and professionals in the kitchen!

About the restaurant

Inspired by a photo of Wolfgang Puck and his mother, this new restaurant showcases Italian cuisine and finds its soul through a letter of love written to his mother. Where her legacy lives on, where a passion for food fuels the desire to experiment, create, and entertain, and where pure artistry pulls tradition and innovation into our hearts and souls. It is the place where the essence of Italy meets the innovative spirit of Wolfgang Puck.
