Twist by Pierre Gagnaire on Las Vegas Boulevard South showcases the cuisine of the three-star Michelin chef, a pioneer of the fusion food movement. At this fabulous venue, his culinary creations delight the senses by combining classicism with innovation. Relax in the beautiful and dramatic interiors which have 300 illuminated globes that seemingly float across the ceiling like fireflies and a suspended wine loft reached by a glass staircase. Guests dining here can also enjoy fine views of the glittering and frenetic city.

A sample meal at Twist has appetizers of carpaccio of Dover sole with crevette salad, seaweed and Nashi pear, sautéed veal sweetbread with custard and spring onion salad, and Sonoma Valley foie gras degustation. Main course offerings include seared filet mignon with stewed seasonal herbs and smoked Cheddar gratin, roasted duck breast with spiced bouillon and seared leg of rabbit with lime jus, seasonal mushrooms and mange tout. Desserts like peaches and verbena with banana ice cream, fruit salad with green cardamom and sweet black soybeans, and chocolates with oranges, vanilla bean parfait and cointreau Chantilly help end the meal with a flourish. A glass of wine from the premium selection makes it the perfect way to say bon appetit.
