After a day of hiking in Red Rock Canyon, we decided to see a show at the Bellagio and need to have dinner first. It was 4pm, so we need a reservation for 7pm, I found on place with a 7pm reservation and booked it... that was Le Cirque. I did not know one thing about this restaurant. I only have to say... what a discovery. We walked in from the ringing noise of the casino to a beautiful quiet oasis. Greeted by a hostesses as if we had been there every weekend for 50 years, and the service got even better from there. The decor is quite nice, with the perfect use of texture to limit any floating conversation. I could actually have a conversation with my wife in my 'inside' voice. The wine list is great, we had a nice rose and burgundy, reminisent of our honeymoon in France. We selected the 4 course dinner. I am a vegetarian, and am use to limited selections at fine restaurants, however, the 4 course meal was one great dish after another. My wife loved every one of her dishes as well, and speaking of dishes, the china with the Curious George was so special since we both hold that little ape close to our hearts. If you're looking for the most memorable dining experience in Vegas, look no further. read more

This was a return visit and I'm happy to report it was just as amazing as the first time! The food was 20/10, service was 50/10, and the ambiance was so beautiful and relaxing! They were also very kind to switch out a course that was a repeat in the previous tasting menu I had! Every dish is just a work of art with a taste to match. I can't wait to go back again! read more

Le Cirque has a storied past that began in New York in 1974 when Sirio Maccioni first opened the restaurant. He and the restaurant became stars, attracting accolades and a celebrity clientele. The restaurant had a series of chefs who themselves went on to fame and glory, Daniel Boulud and Geoffrey Zakarian among them. Le Cirque went through 3 transformations/locations in New York. I recall dining at the second iteration, called Le Cirque 2000, in the New York Palace Hotel (now the Lotte New York Palace) in the late 1990's. Le Cirque Las Vegas opened in 1998 when Steve Wynn opened the Bellagio; it's one of 3 legacy restaurants that remain from that time. Jasmine and Prime Steakhouse are the other two. Both Le Cirque 2000 and the Vegas restaurant were designed by Adam Tihany in a whimsical circus-like theme. The Vegas dining room is like being in a circus tent, with playful monkeys all around. The Bellagio has a number of fancy restaurants and at least one other (Michael Mina) with a tasting menu. Le Cirque is iconic, classic French, with a four-course and eight-course tasting menu option. The maitre d' also mentioned a 3-course menu, and there were 3 a la carte selections. Since the 4-course menu had many options that had cost supplements, I opted for the 8-course menu, which had no supplements. I am having a dry January, so I passed on the wine pairing. The mocktail I had, Soleil Tropical, was fruit-forward and delish. It had an edible straw. Here's what the 8-course menu included: Bread service--3 types of bread Amuse bouche: a mini tarte flambee with onions 1) potato galette with smoked salmon and caviar 2) pan-roasted frog legs 3) Le Cirque "Black Tie"--scallop with black truffle and spinach. An OG dish 4) cured and steamed halibut 5) roasted duck with crispy rice and citrus 6) Wagyu filet mignon with potato puree 7) carrot cake pop 8) chocolate ball with vanilla ice cream enclosed within. The ball is melted with a chocolate sauce. A birdcage filled with 6 mignardises I found every dish delicious, with the frog legs, scallop and duck being my faves. Service of course was outstanding, friendly and attentive. The maitre d' was especially outgoing. He brought a copy of the Le Cirque cookbook for me to look at; the book also is a document of Le Cirque's history. He escorted me out and gave me (and most likely all diners) some exquisitely boxed chocolates. Overall a memorable and tasty dining experience. It's definitely on the pricey side; the 8-course menu is more expensive than the Chef's Tasting menu (also 8 courses) at 3 Michelin-starred Le Bernardin in New York! But Vegas is a city of indulgences, and this is one. read more

Certainly fantastic food and the definition of a upscale four course small plate type of restaurant, but the atmosphere was bland and non-charismatic. But the decorations and layout of the restaurant was pretty cool. Yes the food was elegant and fantastically flavored with good options but this just wasn't my cup of tea as it was small plates, super expensive and hard to understand the menu as it was in French. But the service was impeccable, and it was as expected if not better for this type of restaurant. read more

This place is AMAZING! The service was impeccable and I would go back every day if I could. Martin is the best waiter you could ever ask for. They treat you like friends and family.

The restaurant is located inside Bellagio Hotel , overseas the fountain. Be ready to spend $300+ per person for dinner. Great experience with food! Love how the restaurant paired each the course with wine. A warm, intimate space where every detail whispers Parisian romance, from fresh flowers on each table, to the gentle glow of candlelight, just perfect for a romantic evening with loved one! The journey of eight courses, not only showcasing the elegance of French cuisine: light, intricate, and thoughtfully paced, but also with a harmonious blend of classic with each of the plates. This service is a very classic French bistro feel, I was hoping for a bit more stories with all the dishes and wines. read more

Came to Le Cirque to celebrate my birthday at Bellagio, and the experience did not disappoint! The interior is fun and beautifully decorated, with very unique on theme paintings and a beautifully draped and lit ceiling which looks more pastel and lovely in person. We ordered two different courses, the 4 course and the 8 course tasting menu. Between us the 12+ dishes were each beautifully presented and tasted fresh, delicate, and with wonderfully balanced flavors. Even dishes like foie gras while heavy and rich, were well balanced so it was never too heavy with each bite. I decided to change my dessert choice last minute to the dragonfruit sorbet and our server accommodated with no problem. It was so beautifully presented and delicious, so worth it! Our server, Martin said he had been at Le Cirque for over 30 years and truly did everything to make the night feel special for us! We had seating by the windows where we could see the Bellagio Fountain show every half hour, and Matteo presented us with some extra desserts and memorable gift boxes filled with chocolates and jellies which was a lovely touch. Finally, as we left the staff helped us take pictures in the beautiful restaurant setting. Overall, I'm so glad I chose to come here over other well known options like Guy Savoy! Truly felt the staff cared and made the experience such a special one, each dish was beautifully crafted with carefully balanced flavors, and I adored the ambiance of the restaurant as it was so fun and unique with a clear circus theme from the glass candle to the design of the dishes. Would love to return in the future. Thank you for a wonderful evening! read more

There are restaurants, and then there are institutions. There are places to dine, and then there are places that become part of the story of one's life. For us, Le Cirque has always belonged to the latter. This evening, after yet another extraordinary dinner, we learned that Bellagio will be closing this beloved restaurant. It is difficult to put into words how deeply saddened we are. It feels less like losing a favorite dining room and more like saying goodbye to family. From the moment Le Cirque opened with Bellagio in 1998, it brought to Las Vegas something rare and enduring: true elegance, timeless hospitality, and the unmistakable spirit of the legendary Le Cirque name founded by Sirio Maccioni in New York in 1974. For decades, it has stood not merely as a restaurant, but as one of the crown jewels of fine dining in this city. Every visit has felt like an occasion. The cuisine has always been exquisite--refined, imaginative, and executed with extraordinary precision. The service, consistently first class, has represented the very highest standard of gracious hospitality. And the dining room itself--magnificent, intimate, radiant, and unmistakably beautiful--has always reminded us that dining can still be an art form. But beyond the celebrated cuisine and stunning surroundings, what made this place truly special was its people. The warmth of the staff, their kindness, their professionalism, and the sincere welcome extended each time we arrived transformed wonderful meals into cherished memories. They never treated us as customers. They treated us as guests, and over time, as friends. Las Vegas has many restaurants, but very few possess soul, history, and genuine class in the way Le Cirque does. Its closing marks the end of an era. We will miss it more than words can express. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the excellence. Thank you for the magic. Farewell to one of the very finest restaurants Las Vegas has ever known. read more

This place is so nice and we really appreciated all of the fine details. The Curious George cocktail was one of the best drinks I've ever had-so good! The bartender, I think his name was Gene, was fantastic. He made our night! We had a couple small plates and dessert and everything was great. Their desserts are especially beautiful! read more

Splendid experience from start to finish. And yes, the food and the ambiance with comfortable chairs and and view through the windows onto the lighted water games were fabulous but really the kudos go to the staff! Everyone was knowledgeable, polite, humorous and hence fun to interact with. What got our admiration though was that they silently removed our wine glasses because they had observed that we had ordered a mocktail rather than cocktail while waiting for the table. And the 4-course menu: spotless, a dream. From the bread, the oysters, the lobster salad, risotto, superb escargots, loup de mer, rabbit to the wonderful desserts: paradise! read more

One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. My wife and I regularly dine at high-end restaurants and are happy to pay for great food and service. Unfortunately, our New Year's Eve dinner at Le Cirque fell far short -- especially for the high price point. The restaurant did not offer the 4-course menu advertised on its website, instead serving a fixed NYE menu that wasn't disclosed ahead of time. Before being seated, we were asked to wait at the bar and were ignored for ~20 minutes without being offered a drink, until someone finally noticed. The food was underwhelming throughout. The smoked salmon and caviar was very basic, the chicken risotto was overcooked and had to be sent back, and the replacement was no better. The steak was fine, and dessert was forgettable -- not what you expect from Le Cirque. To make matters worse, my wife had an allergic reaction to the bleach used in the tablecloths, forcing us to move to the bar near the end of the meal. This was stressful, bizarre, and something that has never happened to us before at any restaurant. While the hostess eventually apologized, it came after we had already paid. No proactive recovery, no meaningful acknowledgment, no attempt to make things right. For the price and reputation, this experience was unacceptable. We left feeling disappointed and misled, and would not return -- especially for a special occasion. read more

This may be one of my favorite culinary experiences. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We came here for dinner and were greeted promptly, waited at the bar for drinks but were immediately seated. We chose the 8 course tasting menu and added on the soufflé and cocktails. We chose to get the foie gras seared (versus terrine) which I much prefer the seared and this was probably my favorite dish. The presentation for the scallop ceviche and chocolate sphere dessert were also impressive. The service was perfect, food came out perfectly timed from finishing our previous courses and the service was present without being over bearing. It was surprisingly quiet for being near the front on the bellagio. I really loved everything about this experience from start to finish. read more

Amazeballs good! I'm always leery of going to "nice" restaurants in Vegas - several times I've been burned by big name chefs opening a place in one of the casinos and then leaving it to produce mediocre food. This is most definitely not that. Service was outstanding - we felt like we'd been there multiple times and were long friends with the staff who treated us as one of their own. The four-course menu was great - wine pairings were great, just a wonderful night. For a special occasion, I'm not sure this can be beat. read more

Flew out to Vegas for a bachelor party, and when we started throwing in ideas for things to eat - Michelin-star restaurants was at the top of the list (fun fact: did you know that the Michelin guide has stopped awarding stars to establishments in Las Vegas? Yeup. Thanks Google)! When Le Cirque emerged as the winning restaurant for our motley crew of fine diners, I fully charged my phone, prepped my stomach, and cleansed my palette for all the goodness to come - and boy was I not disappointed! Le Cirque offers an amazing selection of food, 5-star (can I give 6?) service from our waiter Martin, and a pretty great view of the Bellagio Fountain - tick off the box for ambiance, right?! An 8-course menu of delectable delights to nom away at (see Summer 2024 menu in the photos for the French names and ingredients, and of course, the photos of the food itself), some pretty strong drinks (the only way to enjoy them), and great company made the dinner amazing. Will definitely come back when I'm at the Bellagio!! read more

The only remaining outpost of what was once the most-celebrated of New York City's fine dining establishments overlooks the Bellagio fountains. The room is circus themed, but the food is anything but. A series of excellent dishes are presented, bit by bit, with timing aware of any potential shows you may have. Dietary accommodations are handled well. So while I enjoyed the experience, it's been a couple of weeks and I can't remember anything particularly outstanding that I ate. And this was the odd fine dining tasting menu in which I actually felt too full by the end of the meal. read more

Excellent French cuisine, that is highly recommended for good reason. The summer and lobster salads were wonderful. The Frog legs came with a heavenly sauce and the entrees of fish and beef were perfection. The desserts of soufflé and the chocolate sphere were exquisite and delicious. The service was amazing, the team helping us was highly trained from years of working together. Excellence doesn't come cheap, our meal and wine was over $400 each, but as the saying goes you get what you pay for very much the case here.

This is our second visit to Le Cirque. It doesn't fail to impress. We opted for the 4 course with an additional order of the Japanese Wagyu. Everything was good from beginning to end. My favorite would have to be the Rossini. For 3 people, 2 glasses of Riesling, and a mocktail, the overall amount comes to about $1300 (with tip). Next time I may try their seasonal mocktail, the sip I had was pretty good (it was made with mangoes). read more

Le Cirque has been a Bellagio fixture since the resort debuted in 1998. For Vegas that's like dog years with the city constantly closing great places for new ones to dazzle everyone. Still very popular and for good reasons. My man brought me here for my birthday. He requested a table with a view of the fountains and to my surprise we were sat at one of them. These types of tables aren't easy to acquire if you aren't a high roller or celebrity so it's always lovely to be able to enjoy them as a nobody. As soon as you walk in you'll find yourself under a boujee and very colorful circus tent. Everything is playful especially the monkey tableware. With Five Diamonds from Forbes, AAA, and a Michelin Star service is flawless and attentive. Each dish is a work of art. Each presentation is thoughtful. The food is delicious. The bread service alone is special with unique carbs such as coffee bread all with rich European butter. A few standouts that still live in my mind ~ braised veal cheek that melts in your mouth, perfectly sautéed and tender Hokkaido scallops, unique and vibrant fava bean and mint risotto that is ultra creamy and decadent, and of course you have to leave room for dessert. The grand Marnier soufflé is cloud-like making it a very light dessert after enjoying so many different courses. As if that wasn't enough the restaurant sends out complimentary sweets, artisan chocolate, and a note for your special occasions. Very nice touches and thank you. So are places like this worth it? Yes and yes! You live once so make life special, delicious, and surround yourself with beauty especially for celebrations. This will be one of those experiences you'll remember forever. read more

Le Cirque is truly in a league of its own. From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond--especially our waiter, who made thoughtful and seamless accommodations for my pregnant wife without us even having to say a word. That kind of attentiveness is rare, and it set the tone for an unforgettable evening. He surprised us with a variety of complimentary dessert tastings, each one better than the last, and his personable, genuine service made us feel completely taken care of. As for the food--unreal. The oysters were hands down the best I've ever had, and my rabbit dish was absolutely phenomenal. Every course was balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Le Cirque has officially set the bar for fine dining. I could not recommend it more highly read more

Well, this was a first for me! Not the Michelin star, not just the prices...but THE ADD-ONS are CRAZY! My husband selected this restaurant...of course he did. LOL The decor is really interesting. It is like a vintage circus with fabric-draped ceilings, like a circus tent. Their dinnerware is really fun, and the wallpaper is fitting. The menu is a thing of beauty...heavy, with a monkey swinging emblem on the front. The menu has three sections. A chef's tasting menu which was 8 courses, a 4-course menu option at $250 per person, and an ala carte section in the menu. We decided on the 4-course menu. In each section, you could select out of 2 or 3 choices, BUT, and this is a VERY LARGE BUT, some of those selections included an ADDITIONAL SURCHARGE! WHAT? I still had to pay more after selecting a $250 per person menu? MENU OPTIONS -First Course: Choice of Lobster salad ($60 extra) or Summer salad. We got one of each. -Second course: Fois Gras de Canard or Black Truffle Risotto ($55 extra). We got one of each. -Third course: Wagyu Striploin ($70 extra), Brittany Loup de Mer (the waiter really talked this fish dish up), and California Rabbit (I love rabbit). We chose fish and rabbit dishes. -Fourth course: Grand Marnier Souffle ($15 extra), Chocolate Ball, and Vanilla Mille Feuille. We did not choose the souffle. We tend to score our meals with 1-10, with 10 being the best. DRINKS h ordered drinks. From the cocktail menu, Curious George ($22) and I didn't see anything interesting, so I got my usual Amaretto Sour ($22). My drink was DELICIOUS! One of the best I've ever had, a definite 10. It was different than what I normally receive. It had such a rich, smooth taste. I told hubby they must have used top shelf liquor. On our check, it says Amaro Nonino, so I will request this specific digestif in the future. Prior to receiving our dinner, the support staff brought around various bread options to select. We had a complementary Amuse-bouche appetizer, comprised of flaky pastry with creme fraiche, caviar, and salmon. It was delicious. One of the bread choices was a truffle roll. It was just okay to me, but husband liked it. OUR FOOD SALADS - Course 1 - The Lobster salad had a mixed lobster salad with whole sliced lobster on top. Hubby liked it (9). I thought it was just okay (6.5), because I didn't particularly like the salad seasoning flavors. My Summer Salad made me a little leery after hearing another waiter tell the table next to us what was in it, e.g. asparagus, maybe squash (basically items that were not printed on the menu). To my surprise, this salad was wonderful. It did have all the extra ingredients he mentioned, but the blend of the vegetables, dressing, ham and caviar, was almost perfect. It tasted clean and fresh, like summer. I'd give it a 9.5. Course 2 - I'm not a Fois gras fan, so I didn't taste it. Hubby liked- 8. I really liked the Black Truffle Risotto; it was creamy, and the truffle actually did compliment the dish. Portion was too small for there to be an upcharge - 8.5. Course 3 - Rabbit was okay. My mom used to cook rabbit that my dad shot during hunting. She'd make it with gravy and the meat was always tender. This dish was like a pulled pork sandwich in which the rabbit was kind of shredded, which also made it a little dry. I was a little disappointed with this dish. I would give it a 6.75. My husband's fish dish was really delicious, and we can see why the waiter recommended it. We both gave it a 9. Course 4 - The chocolate Ball was a dessert that had warmed chocolate poured over the ball, which then melted and "opened up" the dessert. Very pretty - 8 for taste. My Mille Feuille was delicious. It had various textures - 9. I was disappointed I was too full to eat it all. Our total bill was $714.19, after the $131.80 gratuity, the total was $845.99. Overall, this was a different type of experience, which I am fine with doing only once. Knowing my husband though, it probably won't be the last. I need to also commend the wait staff. All were excellent, friendly, and helpful. Just what I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. read more
