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.

5 stars all the way around!! Carl and Ellen were our main servers but the entire staff was amazing! They don’t miss a thing - at one point I spilled some water on my napkin and before we even had a chance to ask for a replacement, Javier was at our table with a new one (served on a silver platter of course)! The food was delicious (the truffle dinner pastry/rolls are a must!)…and we learned that the vast majority of the staff have been working together since the restaurant opened like 30 years ago! That says a lot about the restaurant and the people who work there. We look forward to going back to this fantastic restaurant next time we’re in Vegas!

Food and service were excellent. I ordered off the happy hour menu which had several good options at reasonable prices. Even though I went for dinner they had some house made pastries that were being sold for half price. The pastry with blueberries was delicious. Given my good experience at dinner, I definitely plan to go for brunch as many things on the menu look very good.

We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. Got our drinks quickly (the skinny mule was great!). App came out fairly quickly, the ordered the Ahi. It had good favor was a bit too well done. Our food came out about 45 minutes later. My steak salad was great! Excellent flavor and good size. My husband had a steak with broccoli and mashed potatoes. He wasn’t a fan of his meal. I think maybe they just boil the vegetables? There wasn’t any favor to them and they were mashable. The bill came to just over $105 (without tip). Our server was super nice and it was a neat spot. Little slow on delivery and a little overpriced by quality. I’d happily go back for a burger or a wrap.
