Everybody says the same thing: Harlo looks like a Strip steakhouse but in the suburbs of Summerlin. The restaurant is beautifully designed—sharp and modern—with the aroma of prime Allen Brothers steaks grilled to perfection over white oak. It's easily the finest fine-dining option on the west side of town, but the dining room carries an easy, upbeat social energy with an expertly trained service team. Every piece is in place, from the artwork on the walls to the glassware for the cocktails. However, it's the menu of chef Gina Marinelli that makes Harlo a true date-night destination. Where else will you find New Zealand elk or dry-aged Kurobuta pork in Summerlin? Just make sure to try the caviar, imported from Bulgaria by Vegas's own Caviar Collective. It's available on tacos, cannolis, and deviled eggs if you want to have fun and stray from the traditional presentation.

Hakkasan Restaurant is a stylish, secluded destination with high-end Cantonese cuisine. The dim sum baskets and crispy duck salad are great for couples to share, but feel free to take the meal up a notch with the crispy langoustine in an eye-catching presentation similar to shumai (with the claws as decoration) and a robust Toban chicken clay pot. There are usually a couple of tasting menu options too. The interior of the dining room twists and turns with tall lattice woodwork between tables to add welcome privacy and intimacy to any meal. Don't forget to snap a photo together near the illuminated tunnel-like floral entrance. The restaurant has direct access to neighboring Hakkasan Nightclub and its own dedicated valet, allowing you to not only avoid the congested MGM parking garage but impress your date as someone who knows all the hookups.

It's hard to tell if Toca Madera is in the Aria or the Shops at Crystals (it's kind of in between), but it's impossible to miss the restaurant, beginning with an outdoor courtyard, and a cocktail lounge near the entrance where flames emerge from surrounding fireplaces, rows of candles, and even a few of the cocktail presentations. Toca Madera first made its presence felt in LA and Scottsdale, but the Vegas version revamps the format with a multi-million dollar design, greater emphasis on steaks (including Japanese A5 cuts by the ounce), and upscale takes on Mexican staples like mushroom and truffle quesadillas, short rib enchiladas, and Wagyu beef tacos. A smaller dining room in the back, often compared to a speakeasy (and who doesn't love a speakeasy?), offers a looser vibe with more privacy.

Le Cirque knows how to present fine French dining in a way few others can match. Executive chef Dameon Evers leads the kitchen team with an understanding of complex, balanced flavors showcased in delicately prepared servings of duck, rabbit, and seafood, as well as ultra-premium Japanese-sourced beef. Meals come in five or eight-course tasting menus, a format that, while pricey, allows guests to control their spending from beginning to end comfortably. The dining room is as charming as ever, with a vintage circus theme, Bellagio fountain views, and an experienced service team, some of whom have been in place for more than 20 years.

Scarpetta puts a modern spin on Italian dining in Las Vegas, serving an inspired take on classic dishes in a contemporary dining room with dramatic Strip views that include the Bellagio fountains next door. The restaurant is dark and secluded but still feels like an extravagant experience. Best of all, the recipes by executive chef Michael Vitangeli are perfectly executed, from a cioppino loaded with chunks of seafood to duck and foie gras ravioli served in hearty portions with bright ingredients that take inspiration from the chef's own Italian-American heritage. Start the evening with a cocktail in the lounge before taking your seat in the dining room with a bottle of Italian red wine.
