TASTE
Mandalay and The Bathouse for a relaxing massage
or facial. A short distance from the resort is The
Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas. All spas offer
20 percent discount to ISPA Conference attendees.
Mizuya Lounge
Craving for sushi? Hit Mizuya Lounge for a
blend of some of the best sushi in Las
Vegas and a dose of nightly entertainment.
Aureole
Leave it to James Beard Foundation’s “Best
Chef” in New York awardee and Aureole
owner Charlie Palmer to whet your palate
with progressive American cuisine. Palmer opened his
restaurant in 1999 and has since been recognized as
one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas, winning
multiple awards including the Four Diamond Award,
the Michelin Star Award and the 2009 Mobil Travel
Guide Award. A must-try on the menu is the seasonal and artisan dry-aged beef and fresh seafood.
Don’t skip the wine list though. Designed by
international restaurant designer Adam Tihany,
Aureole’s visual trademark is its four-story wine
tower where “wine angel stewards”—think
Bond girls in black tights and harnesses—
ascend and descend down the tower to retrieve
your choice of rare French and American wines.
Dinner only.
Red Square
In the mood for caviar and everything
“Russian”? March to the Red Square, voted
best bar in America by Playboy magazine,
this hot spot evokes the glory days of
Imperial Russia—from its impressive caviar
selection, dazzling plush and red velvet banquettes to its Russian-inspired décor. Try its
Siberian Nachos, Roquefort Filet Mignon and
Strozapretti Stroganoff. What better way to
cap your Russian-inspired dining experience?
With a glass of Russian vodka, of course, fetched from its
exclusive vodka vault. Bottoms up, anyone?
