Rosemary Restaurant
If the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas leaves you yearning for a home-cooked meal, Rosemary's is your kind of place. This "neighborhood-style" restaurant serves some of the best food you'll find in Las Vegas. At Rosemary's, you'll find typical American food cooked in the French way with a nod toward the Midwest, New Orleans and the South. Not to be outdone by fancier restaurants in town, its wine list has been lauded by Wine Spectator magazine. This restaurant is a popular attraction in Las Vegas and always busy.

Picasso
Chef Julian Serrano had his hands full when he agreed to launch Picasso. In addition to the $35-million array of paintings created by the master, you'll marvel at the restaurant's offering of more than 1,500 wines hand-selected from European vineyards. But they're no match for the culinary artistry of Serrano. The chef's cuisine relies heavily on his experience in Spain and the south of France where he trained and where Picasso spent most of his life. Unlike many other restaurants in Las Vegas, Chef Serrano not only puts his name on the door, he puts himself in the kitchen.
