Canaletto
- Authentic Venetian cuisine. The ultimate Venetian restaurant. Created by
the founders of Il Fornaio, Canaletto features the food and wine
of the Veneto region of Italy. Il Fornaio's Executive Chef
Maurizio Mazzon evokes Venice and its countryside with his menu of
fresh seafood, beef, game and poultry from wood-fired rotisseries
and grills. Mazzon - a native Venetian who has worked throughout
Venice at renowned dining destinations like All' Angelo and Hotel
Cipriani - also includes northern Italian staples like risotto,
gnocchi and polenta on Canaletto's menu. The restaurant's unusual
wine list spotlights the lesser-known wines of northeast Italy.
Canaletto's unique two-story architecture incorporates many facets
of Venetian-inspired design. "Outside" tables
surrounding a 40-foot tall statue sit in the heart of St. Mark's
square, much like the cafes lining the original Piazza San Marco.
Past Canaletto's elegant double-arched bar, luxurious navy
blue-striped booths under 16-foot tall ceilings offer a more
refined dining experience. Polished hardwood floors blend into
terrazzo tile leading to the exhibition kitchen. Spectacular
Venetian lights and chandeliers crafted by the artisans of Murano
cast a flattering glow. Upstairs, four distinct private rooms -
for groups as small as six or as large as sixty- share a central
entrance and lounge, reminiscent of a Venetian palazzo's primo
piano. With unsurpassed views of the Grand Canal and the activity
below, these will be some of the most impressive private dining
rooms ever seen. The exceptional food, professional service and
remarkable architecture will make Canaletto one of the must-visit
restaurants at The Venetian and in Las Vegas

Lutece
- Modern French with classic influences. Its name comes from the ancient Celtic name for
Paris, the birthplace of French gastronomy. Lutèce is one of the
jeweled pinnacles in the world of fine dining in which all others
strive. Eberhard Müller, the successor of Andre Soltner at the
famed Lutèce in New York, is bringing his brand of French Cuisine
to The Venetian. The menu is ripe with modern French delicacies
and solid classic influences that combine the best of classic,
familial and newer French cuisines. Chef Müller will bring a menu
similar to that of his Lutèce in New York, but he promises a more
progressive list of choices. Among the highlights, a nightly prix
fix menu degustation-a true "Tour de Force" of courses.
Chef de Cuisine will be Robert Kirchoff who will head up this new
Las Vegas establishment. To compliment the innovative menu will be
an equally tantalizing wine cellar featuring selections of
top-producers with emphasis on French and American vintners,
complete with a knowledgeable sommelier. This haute French bistro
is synonymous with perfect quality - from the impeccable freshness
of ingredients to the exquisite presentation of food to the
seamless manner in which it is served. Chef Müller has created a
leaner, more modern approach to the classic French traditions,
typified by a selection of appetizers such as a salad of tender
lobster and mango or uncooked slices of Atlantic salmon with a
tomato-coriander coulis and entrees ranging from pheasant and beef
short ribs slow-braised in dark beer with creamy mashed potatoes
to Maine sea scallops in a warm black-truffle vinaigrette and
roasted lobster, shelled and bathed in cognac butter. Lutèce,
which will be located on the Casino level, will seat 95 inside and
65 out on the terrace and will be open for lunch and dinner

Brasserie will be open for lunch and dinner in a rich, yet casual

kitchen utensils, and Coq d'Or, the large weathered cast-iron
rooster that stands guard at the entry. The concept is to recreate
an authentic urban brasserie featuring a rotisserie and oyster bar
and dining al fresco.

bar, casual outside dining, and an oyster bar complete with rubber
booted, approved waiters reminiscent of a true Parisian brasserie.
