possibility for a good time...meh

by SinCtySocialite

You really can't judge a club by its goers. I mean- for the most part.

It's LLE

And as much as I have to say about how I thoroughly enjoyed LAVO last night I just didn't love the 21st birthday party next to me.

I was in a sorority in college- so I get it. I understand the need to get violently trashy sometimes. But I also had 'sisters 'to make sure I went home with some dignity.

Let me explain as I get into this fair review.

Juli and I were meeting friends at the Palazzo for a birthday party......

Bad Food - Pretentious Service

by Memphis

My meal at Lavo was one of the worst meals I have had in a very long time. My husband and I order an appetizer and a salad. The Kobe Beef Rice Ball appetizer was ok and the Beet with Goat Cheese salad was overdressed. The entrees were worse. I had Spaghetti Carbonara . The portion was huge but the flavor was missing. My husband had Lobster Risotto. The Risotto was fishy and gummy. Servers and management were insincere and awkward. Absolutely, do not go here. You can do so much better in Las Vegas.

The hotel is offering Lavo coupons to entice visitors. Do not be fooled.

• Pros: Nice Decor
• Cons: Food and Service

Bad service and ultra expensive hookah

by hiphophead

We stopped by at Lavo during my friend's bachelor party weekend. We sat outside so that we could smoke the hookah. The waitress had to be begged to serve us. When she finally arrived with our hookah, she let us know that it cost $75! Most hookah places charge anywhere from $10 to $20 for a hookah. Obviously, they're overcharging... Of course, we expected to pay a premium for smoking hookah on the Vegas Strip, but $75?!!? The waitress didn't even refresh the charcoal. Horrible experience. It didn't help that all the rest of the patrons looked like they were teenagers... Not recommended.

Turkish-styled restaurant and nightclub serves Mediterranean dishes and caters to a young party-going crowd in a fun atmosphere.

The Scene
The décor throughout LAVO is, in a word, stunning. Starting in the lounge, the entryway introduces the "bathhouse" vibe with worn tile walls and water stained plaster. Overhead, 20-foot ceilings of weathered wooden beams draw the eye upwards as diners sit in leather booths and Moroccan tables. Turkish water basins flank a glass and wood screened bridge that leads to the 4,500-square-foot, second-floor nightclub, which features 40 bottle service tables.

The Food
Bucking the appetizer and entrée trend, the classic Mediterranean dishes served here are meant to be shared and they are brought out throughout the course of the meal. Menu items include a wide range of dishes with Spanish, French and Italian influences. The restaurant seats 300 people and includes a 20 person private dining room and room for 100 on the outdoor Strip-side patio.
