Red Square @ Mandalay Bay

Red Square, in the heart of the Mandalay Bay, is known for its Russian-themed decor (including a headless statue of Lenin at its entrance), massive collection of vodka, and uncommon mix of culinary offerings.

The establishment boasts a staggering 170 varieties of vodka, and is consistently named the best place in Las Vegas for martinis of every imaginable kind. Take a seat at the bar, its surface a sheet of ice, and bartenders will serve up exotic libations to your heart's content. The drinks stay chilled even when the schmoozing heats up.

The menu is best described as "European Continental," covering a range of hearty, eclectic dishes including Roquefort-crusted filet mignon, Kiev and beef stroganoff, and Siberian nachos. Other dining options include the grilled rack of Australian lamb, jumbo crabmeat, pan-seared halibut, and duck breast.

An impressive caviar list is also part of what makes Red Square such a novel dining experience. Indulge in Russian beluga, Russian sevruga, salmon roe, and American sturgeon among others.

Red Square is a toothsome hangout with a sense of humor, a sense of style, and a definite flair for the dramatic.

Reservations are recommended.
