Wonderful meal with Le Cirque’s fall tasting menu. I also drank the regular wine pairing, which was good and presented by a sharp somm.
The dining room is beautiful and intimate. The staff is sharp (especially Azip(sp?), the busser). And the food excellent.
Highlights included the frog legs, black tie scallop, and duck over crispy rice.

We stayed there when we eloped in 2000. Best buffet we’ve ever experienced, and the room was amazing.
Looks awesome! We almost went to Le Cirque last time we were in LV. Do any other noteworthy dining in town?
We did LC years ago, it was so much fun. I loved the playfulness yet classiness of it all. Honestly one of my most memorable meals.
