Or just put yourself in your captain’s hands, that is, if money is no object. If Carbone makes your must-visit list, make sure to secure a reservation six weeks in advance. They fill up quickly." - Janna Karel

"The Aria location of the decadent Italian-American restaurant Carbone features captains serving dishes tableside and seductive red velvet booths set in a circle, so everyone has a view of the dining room drama. Lobster fra diavolo, chicken scarpariello, veal Parmesan, and spicy rigatoni are just some of the folkloric dishes here, but octopus pizzaiolo and pickled cauliflower are worth considering. Daring diners can put themselves in the captain’s hands ​​— that is, if money is no object." - Janna Karel

"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
