"Not all Carbones are made equal, but the Vegas outpost is one of the better ones. It’s the place for a fun, big night out that borders on immersive theater, where caesar salads get tossed tableside and waiters in red tuxes debone dover sole with the precision of a plastic surgeon. These dishes would stand on their own even without the performance, though—see: the nutty brown butter sauce that’s drizzled all over the fish. And while it might not be made in front of you, the spicy rigatoni is a classic worth ordering. Getting a table is difficult even by Vegas standards, so make a reservation online when time slots are released (usually around 30 days before). Hopefully, your table is in the back room under the chandelier flaunting more crystals than a Los Angeles psychic. " - emmy kasten
