Spago

The godfather of Las Vegas celebrity chef restaurants, Spago’s twenty-plus year run has laid the foundation for great food in the valley. An institution in its own right, the dining room still fills with the types of stars that made the original famous. Celebrity sightings and history aside, the kitchen turns out some impressive food, executing the light, approachable, and imaginative contemporary American food that made the restaurant famous in the first place. Almost everything is made in house, from the breads to the charcuterie to the chocolate, and the staff is confident, warm and professional. Order a bottle of wine, and watch the day roll by within view of the famous Bellagio fountain.
