With a celebrity chef at the helm and an unbeatable location at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino on the renowned Las Vegas strip, it's no surprise that awards come pouring in at Andre's Restaurant and Lounge, including a Michelin star. The décor is all urbane-chic with stylishly upholstered chairs and sparkling cutlery completing the picture.

The menu spans more than 20 signature dishes and André Rochat's stamp of approval is essential before a meal reaches the table. The chef's pedigree shines though starters of chilled Australian lobster, blackened bison carpaccio and melon studded foie gras terrine. A main course of Peking duck duo is bursting with flavors, where leg stuffed with pistachios is cooked sous-vide, and is accompanied by pan-seared marinated breast of duck and brandied sour cherry sauce.

The wine list features legendary classics from the highly acclaimed Burgundy and Bordeaux areas in additions to bins from the New World, Italy and Spain.
