The Mix, Las Vegas

A spectacular dining experience atop THEhotel next to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, The Mix has been my best Vegas dining experience: the open glass kitchen is awesome, as are the panoramic views of the city from the lounge and dining room. The decor is sleek and elegent and overall the environment is just over the top. Having said that, the food is even better, with innovative dishes and superb execution. Flavor profiles are right, diverse and deep. If you're a foodie, pass on Keller's Bouchon and Aureole and go to The Mix. (9.5)
