    Spare Braised Kobe Beef Short Ribs
    Jewls J.

    Everything from beginning to end was spectacular! We had reservations, ran late, they still accommodated. No wait, no issue. Great ambiance! The server (Mikkel) was amazing, he knew all the items with extreme detail! The food was made to perfection! We had salmon with mushrooms, and the short ribs, and the mile high sushi roll. I also had the Lychee cocktail which was amazing! And we had the apple dessert and the chocolate one too. Top rating for the entire experience!

    The view is great. We paid the minimum $125 per person food and beverage spend for a patio table, and while the view was definitely worth it, we didn't love the meal and wouldn't hurry to go back. We had the rock shrimp, which was pretty standard; the gyoza, which was good but served with a tomato-based sauce that didn't belong on the plate; a simple California roll; the surf and turf - steak was overcooked and the wasabi butter was not working with the lobster... sauces here are not a strength. We also ordered a side of potato puree, which was pretty good. But when aren't they? Our dining experience was not made better by the many diners from inside the restaurant coming out to do photo shoots almost constantly. Some parents just let their children come on the patio and hang out I guess so they could have some "mommy/daddy time". I wouldn't have paid for the patio if I knew the view came with babysitting duty. If you love Japanese food you may find this worth it, but this felt like the kind of meal you can get anywhere - just next to a lake so here it's a lot more expensive. ,

    We always eat here when we are staying at the Bellagio. Get reservation because its always full. Had sashimi platter, protein roll which was delicious, salmon roll, picked veggies, black cod. All were excellent. Service is great as usual. Had a table next to window so we could see the fountain. I just dont know why the place is super dark!

    I had high hopes for this restaurant and with the prices they charge I had high expectations as well. The yellowtail serrano was great, tender thinly sliced fish with a bit of spice from the pepper. Paired with the cucumber salad was a nice combo of spicy/tender with sour/crunch from the salad. I was a bit disappointed by the Crispy Kalbi roll, even with the slaw on top there wasn't much a textural element, no crunch as I had expected by the name. Clear soup was pretty standard fare, something you can get anywhere. Our service was good, very formal and stiff, but he made sure everything came out correctly. Ambiance matches the pricing, quite upscale. Located in the Bellagio, you can catch a glimpse of the water show from the dining room which is neat. Overall an okay experience, though one I feel was not worth the price tag. I was expecting to be blown away and only felt a breeze.

    I wasn't looking forward to this restaurant that my friend picked but I'm so happy she picked it and I went! First of all, the service was above and beyond, (thank you Theo) and you have a great view of the fountains out by the patio, and the food was so delicious! I had the Braised Wagyu Beef Short ribs with such amazing sauce, a lychee martini that was so good I ordered two, and the dessert was so amazing I forgot what it was called but it was like a bananas foster sauce with apple pie sort of thing! So good! My friend loved her yellowtail roll and her Mile High roll. We ordered the Kimchi Brussel Sprouts as well and they were just ok. I'd skip those...food was really good I can't wait to be back next time I'm in town for a trade show! I went back and had the filet mignon. It was delicious!

    Very good place if in Vegas. Great food, great drinks great staff. I'll definitely hit it up again if I ever go back.

    A beautiful dinner spot. Yellowtail is located inside the Bellagio and is stunning. It is one of those places that feels upscale while still feeling very intimate. I had a bit of an unconventional (but still nice) experience at Yellowtail. My friends and I had a reservation for a Saturday evening. Like many of the restaurants on the Strip, there is a missed reservation fee of $25 per person. It was just my luck that we were running late. When we realized we would not make it in time, we tried giving them a call a few times but received no answer. We ended up being just over 30 minutes late, hoping that there was a chance we would still have a table. To our surprise, we were still kindly offered a table. The host said that the original table we booked in the dining room was no longer available but that we could be seated in the lounge (the front of the restaurant that faces the casino). We were grateful to even be given a spot so we accepted the offer and took a seat. This spot is dark, moody, and very ambient. It definitely feels classy. Sitting facing the casino felt a bit awkward and like we were in all the action. We directly faced one of the main walking paths to the other restaurants. In a way, it's nice to have some people watching, but of course, a view of the Bellagio fountains would have been to die for. The table setup was super cute. The napkins and chopsticks were adorable yet classy. First, we ordered the Lychee Martinis. They were super good. The flavor was not too overpowering. It was perfectly sweet and had a flower perfect for some photos. By the time the drinks were brought out, we realized we would not have time to order a full meal. It was very busy and the wait for just the drinks was quite long. We sipped our drinks for a while before one of the waitresses stopped by and said that, in order to sit in the lounge, we would need to order food. So, we ordered the Salmon Tiradito appetizer. The portion was quite small (and of course pricey) for three people. It was very light and refreshingly. I personally was not a huge fan of the flavor but I could tell that it was very high quality. I hope. with some better planning on my end, that I could revisit Yellowtail and try more of the menu!

    Third time here and still really enjoyed it. Brought some out of town coworkers as they were wanting sushi. Reservation is recommended. As we were walking from the hostess to our table in the back area, my coworker was loving the ambience. As we were approaching our table, you can see the Bellagio fountain. What an amazing view. The service was OK, the food made up for it. All our sashimi orders were perfection. The sauce is the sashimi the taste perfect. I still say it beats the sushi restaurant in Caesar's Palace, price, and food quality. I will be back.

    Tataki Salad
    Kay C.

    This place was really nice. The service was ok. The pictures that I am sharing is of a salad. However it has too much vinegar where it wasn't edible. They did not comp the salad which was disappointing because I maybe took two bites of it and pushed it off to the side. It was definitely an overpriced salad. It just was really beautiful to look at basically. Everything else that I ate was delicious. Even the miso soup.

    Rosè, Edamame, Big Eye Tuna Pizza.
    Vanny K.

    Since we had time to kill for a show, we chose Yellowtail since it's the perfect place to pregame inside our hotel. The beautiful staff goes hand and hand with the vibes here, from the hip and clean decor, to the romantic overlooking sights of the Bellagio fountains all in one spot. We ordered a bottle of Rosè to have with a couple of Savory Edamame, Big Eye Tuna Pizzas, the Mile High, and Ugagi Rolls. Each dish was special in its own way, and paired really well with the drinks. After all these years, Yellowtail still delivers on every aspect.

    Amazing food amazing view so much to say so little time. It was our last night in town and we wanted to try Sushi without leaving the hotel. We were quickly seated and we ordered the Omakase. Great choice.

    Lychee drink
    Maria L.

    This place is a must! We started with the Akira Back Tuna and House Pickles which consisted of pickled carrots, radishes and cucumbers, delicious. Our meal was the Mile High withTempura Crab, Avocado, Asparagus, Topped with Mixed Sashimi, Spicy Ponzu Aioli, omg, everything was superb! And don't get me started with the service which was top notch! Our water was never empty and our places were removed swiftly. The mochi with berries was so delicious and the lychee drink was amazing!! Definitely will be back!!

    Marie L.

    Our party was not expecting this place to be phenomenal! We enjoyed a nice variety of food and the service was excellent. Ohhh we tried the Ube coffee martini and wowza!! Delicious!! Did I mention how good the food was?! lol So good that we want to return!

    How is it for music and grabbing drinks? going there next month for some picky foods but as far as a dj music and just hanging out, does it offer that vibe? or is it strictly just a dinner spot...eat and leave?

    Actually there is a DJ on Friday & Saturday nights after 8:30pm.

    Is this kid friendly? Want to bring our 2 year old

    There were some very young children there when I was visiting, although the menu didn't have a lot of kid type options that I could see. Its a fancy place with fancy prices that caters more to adults.

    Dress / attire?

All I remember was going through the casino areas of Paris Hotel, and then going down one floor to the Horseshoe area to reach this bar just minutes before closing on a Friday close to midnight. I quickly grabbed a seat at the bar area and perused the menu, which has a ton of drinks, beers, wines, mocktails and even snacks. Even when close to closing time, patrons filled up all the bar seating which isn't a lot; most seating was couches and tables near the knickknacks. I got myself the Bee's Knees, which is cranberry and pineapple juice, apple puree, cinnamon fire syrup and some ginger beer according to their menu just outside the front entrance. I can only describe the taste as a sweetened fruit juice with a ton of fizz from the ginger beer, and the pineapple and apple came out on top for overpowering the drink overall. Some mint leaves and a slice of grapefruit were added in, and the mint leaves made this drink feel more like a special cocktail. This and other mocktails is $13 before tax, so pretty high price especially when considering their other alcoholic drinks are not that much higher than that... I actually still loved my drink, though! It was a nice wrap-up for my last day in Vegas and I'm curious now to look a lot more carefully at the stuff on the walls if I ever come here again!

There is a second secret bar that wasn't open when we were there, but from what I understand you use clues from the objects to gain access. The drinks were ok but nothing spectacular, they were also a little on the pricey side for what you get. They had a limited selection of non-alcoholic drinks and upon asking if I could get one of their featured drinks in a NA version, the bartender seemed like he was being put out by the request. He made it, but the drink I got didn't really have any of the flavors described. If you are waiting for a tee time at Twilight Zone mini golf maybe you could stop in, though honestly I would probably just go to the bar down the hall by the food court.

We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!

Every visit, we go the iconic Chandelier Bar, specifically floor 1.5 Not only do we return for the excellent drinks, we go for the service.

We recently met Angela , one of the newer managers who is very friendly. She approached us to see how our drinks were, even when it was pretty busy at the bar. The Chandelier bar also refreshes their drink menu a couple of times every now and then while still keeping some of popular drinks on such as the Verbena cocktail, which is nice. They have three floors , and every menu is different than the other. We highly recommend the Espresso Old Fashioned, a combination of two popular drinks. The staff will also make anything to your liking , as long as ingredients allow. It's definitely a can't miss spot if you are staying at Cosmo, or just bar hopping on the strip. The vibe is awesome!!

I returned to The Chandelier with two of them last month, Melissa K. and June K. and I reliving our youth after seeing the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere. The bar felt a little different, though it could also have been us. A bit more dated, a bit quieter, a bit more businesslike somehow, even at two in the morning. Bartender was nice, though, and it was easy to get drinks and find a table. We got two colorful cocktails, Butterfly-ing Forever and Strawberry in the Rye. The butterfly drink was purple for some reason, made with Tequila Ocho blanco, Calenda mezcal, and butterfly yuzu emulsion. I'm guessing the "butterfly" was the purple butterfly pea flower, and not actual emulsified insects. In any case, the drink was good. The strawberry cocktail mixed High West Double Rye with strawberry, orange curaçao, Suze, and Angostura bitters. Also quite tasty. We ended up taking our drinks to go and heading back to our room. This was more fun and relaxing than hanging out at The Chandelier, but we did enjoy our brief visit and our brightly colored cocktails.
