Alex
Alex is the creation of Allessandro Stratta, and his restaurant serves food in the style of the French Riviera. Located in the Wynn, one of the strip's most highly regarded hotels, Alex offers an impeccable five-star dining experience in an environment that is open, warm and relaxing. Suit jackets are suggested, but not required, and the restaurant feels surprisingly casual for such an upmarket establishment. Dinner is served after 6 p.m. from Wednesday to Saturday. The full tasting menu runs seven courses, with wine pairings.
