Fine Dining
Aureole Open for Dinner (383 seats)
Charlie Palmer's renowned New York Aureole enjoys a reputation as
being one of the finest restaurants in the United States. It is
consistently rated number one in New York for American Cuisine by the
Zagat restaurant survey. Palmer, who was honored as "Best Chef" in New
York by the James Beard Foundation in 1997, is opening an Aureole at
Mandalay Bay, which will mirror the fine dining experience offered at
his New York flagship. A menu of seasonal American dishes made with
only the freshest ingredients will be prepared by Chefs Joe & Megan
Romano, a husband and wife chef team who have worked for Palmer for
almost a decade. While the menu and polished professional wait service
will match New York's, the interior of the restaurant will be markedly
different. Pre-eminent international restaurant designer Adam Tihany
is creating a sophisticated and luxurious contemporary restaurant - as
per Palmer's directive, it will be "an Aureole for the next
millenium." One ingenious Tihany design feature is a four-story wine
tower - the first-of-a-kind in the world. Wine stewards will strap on
harnesses and be hoisted up the tower to make their selections from
this "Cellar in the Sky." The wine , too, will be an impressive aspect
of the restaurant. Palmer has secured a substantial collection of rare
French and American wines from a private collector to add to a
comprehensive wine list featuring selections from around the world.
Wolfgang Puck & Barbara Lazaroff Restaurant Open Lunch & Dinner
(200 seats)
Wolfgang Puck and Barbara Lazaroff along with managing partner
Tom Kaplan and chef/partner David Robins have developed a unique
Italian restaurant exclusively for Mandalay Bay. The restaurant will
feature master chef Puck's innovative cuisine in a dynamic, authentic
Italian trattoria environment designed by Adam Tihany. The restaurant
experience will be much like a stroll into a small, secluded piazza in
Milan with views of the pasta, charcuterie, and bakery production
areas as well as wonderful food displays and several communal tables.
Using only the finest ingredients, Puck and Robins will create menus
of traditional and contemporary items incorporating the many regions
of Northern and Southern Italy. The kitchen will utilize a
wood-burning rotisserie and pizza oven. A distinctive wine list
focusing on wines from every region of Italy will be assembled and
displayed at a spectacular bar and wine room in the center of the
restaurant. Puck, one of the most respected and influential
chef/restaurateurs in the world, is widely credited with redefining
American cuisine at his landmark Spago restaurants. He, too, has won
the culinary equivalent to the Oscar, the James Beard Foundation's
Outstanding Chef Award, in 1998 and 1991, and the 1994 Humanitarian of
the Year Award with Lazaroff for their extensive philanthropic
endeavors.

City and Miami Beach (and soon, Beverly Hills), will bring its famous

are an influence, virtually every dish is prepared on grills or in
woks from ingredients gathered from around the globe. Portions are
generous, artfully and dramatically presented, and meant to be shared
family style. Voted one of "New Yorkers' Favorite Restaurants" by the
Zagat Survey, China Grill is the place to see and be seen in New York
and Miami. Spectacular architectural settings are also part of the
China Grill magic. Jeffrey Beers International will design the
Mandalay Bay location.

TV Food Network personalities Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger,

chefs took a road trip far south of the Mexican border, learning the
authentic recipes and techniques of home cooks and street vendors.
When they returned to Los Angeles they opened Border Grill and
established a new standard for gourmet Mexican fare as well as a
reputation, according to New York Newsday, as Mexican food's
"pre-eminent American translators." Milliken and Feniger's bold and
flavorful foods will be served in a vibrant beachside atmosphere
designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Josh Schweitzer.

conveyor dim sum bar for the diner interested in getting a quick bite

robotic elements designed to enhance the dining experience. Jeffrey
Beers International will design the cafe, which will be adjacent to
the China Grill restaurant.

From the creators of China Grill, rumjungle is a new concept
designed to take the art of food and entertainment to new levels.
Guests entering rumjungle will be treated to a dancing firewall which
transforms to a soothing wall of water. The spectacular entrance is
just the beginning of a myriad of images that have been conjured up to
tantalize the senses. Volcanic mountains of rum and spirits rise
before guests in an illuminated bar. Cooked over a giant open fire pit
that serves as a backdrop for a pulsating dance floor framed by
"dueling congas," many entrees from the tropically-inspired menu will
be served "Rodizio" style with waiters serving dishes on flaming
skewers of chicken, meat and fish. Add an incredible list of exotic
drinks and dancing to Latin, Caribbean and African beats until the wee
hours of the morning, and you have rumjungle. Jeffrey Beers
International is the designer.
