Michael’s Gourmet Room

"The red velvet draped, jewel box of a restaurant that is Michael’s Gourmet Room at South Point brings back the glamour of the gourmet room from the ’50s and ’60s in Las Vegas. Pickled vegetables, escargot, French onion soup, Chateaubriand served tableside, and a dessert cart rolled to the table add some special touches to any dinner here." - Emmy Kasten

"Gourmet rooms used to be all the rage in Las Vegas; Michael’s at the South Point is the only one that remains. This jewel box of a room deck out in red velvet features dashing servers decked out in tuxedos often making dishes table-side. Make it a romantic night with the chateaubriand for two and then order dessert from the pastry cart of fantasies." - Janna Karel

"Michael’s Gourmet Room’s red velvet booths and white tablecloths go heavy on old Vegas glam. Chat up the maitre’d wearing a tuxedo or one of the waiters, who have been there so long they have enough secrets for a Netflix docu-series. The dishes here are named after random people, such as William J’s salad and Kate’s Chicken Sicilian. Apparently, William J liked his greens with avocado, peeled tomatoes, and hearts of palm. He most likely paired it with the restaurant’s relish tray, French onion soup, and chateaubriand. Wave over the “pastry cart of fantasies” when it rolls by and stick around for flaming desserts like cherries jubilee." - melinda sheckells

"Since 1982 the Michael’s name has been synonymous with service and style. After departing the Barbary Coast, before it became the Cromwell, Michael’s resurrected as an intimate 50-seat room at the South Point, still treating everyone like a high roller, in a room of high-backed seats below a Tiffany sky light. Steak, seafood and table-side flourishes are the key, alongside specialties such as baked escargot, chateaubriand for two, and retro for dessert favorites, cherries jubilee and bananas Foster. Expect dinner to unfold as a leisurely many-hours affair." - Janna Karel
