Finding the best place to take a date comes with a lot of pressure, and this Vegas-based roundup of romantic hot spots invites you to put on your best dress while we take care of the rest.
Joël Robuchon
Las Vegas’ only three-Michelin-starred restaurant, Joël Robuchon, is back with its storied 15-course dining experience at MGM Grand. Grab your date and toast the occasion. The restaurant is offering its most beloved dishes from over the years, a testament to the influence of Joël Robuchon, the late legendary chef. Led by executive chef Christophe de Lellis, menu highlights include Le Caviar Imperial (king crab served in a crustacean gelee and topped with Osetra caviar) and La Langoustine (truffled langoustine ravioli teamed with simmered cabbage and foie gras sauce), among others. Sister concept L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon has also returned with its own lineup of new dishes, from caramelized frog legs served on creamy spelt risotto to a white chocolate sphere paired with fresh raspberry and yuzu ice cream.
