The way I figure it, it’ll be about $900 for two people, with tax and tip, if you don’t drink anything more potent than tapwater. Throw in a bottle of wine or two, and it’s easily more than a grand.

I’ve actually had dinner here, and, if you’ve got $1000 burning a hole in yoru pocket and get a kick out of fine dining, I suggest you try this.

The artichoke and black truffle soup, which is the only item on the menu that I’ve had, is delicious. The cheese selection, which came after what felt like six courses, was pretty nice too.

As you can expect for these prices, service is beyond category. So if you get lucky at the tables or just are in the habit of spending that kind of money on a meal, you really can’t go wrong. You’ll be there for about three hours, and men will want to wear at the absolute least a jacket, and preferably a tie as well. Some tables have a great view of the Strip, though depending on where you are it will either be a 100-foot high image of Toni Braxton and the Margaritaville facade or the Bellagio fountains.
