Mix - Glamor in Beige on White

Mix Restaurant and Club
In Mandalay Bay - THE Hotel

We ate at Mix a few weeks ago. Perched 64 stories atop THE Hotel in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino complex, Mix is glamour in beige on white, bringing world-class cuisine to the Las Vegas strip. You would think the most spectacular aspect of the Mix restaurant would be the 100 miles view out the windows. Wrong! By the end your your meal, the stunning ambiance, and the food itself dominate your attention. This is the Las Vegas Hotel Review review of the Mix Restaurant.

Getting to Mix in the Mandalay Bay complex is part of the adventure and a good place to start the review. You enter the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and wind your way to the THE Hotel Tower in back. As you enter the THE Hotel Lobby, you see a roped off entryway for Mix. Don't go in there, keep walking! That is the entry for the MIX nightclub. Although you can get in that entrance you also have to pay the $20-50 cover per person at that entrance. And, with your meal you get free entry to the club anyway.

So keep walking all the way through THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay. You pass THE coffeehouse, THE front desk, THE fountain, THE chair ... ok you get THE point. Find the main elevator bank and just press the MIX restaurant button and off you go. Get off at the top and there you are.

Mix makes a stunning first impression. The bright white and beige retro 60s color theme is accented by egg-shaped pods - strategically located plastic enclosures providing an intimate dining experience at some tables. Other tables are stretched along the windows with stunning views, and even more comfortable plush leather comfort. We had a window seat with a strip view, but next time, I'm trying one of the plastic pods.

You might spend the whole time trying to figure out the enormous Venetian Murano blown glass chandelier, that extends from the ceiling almost to the floor providing an avante guarde feel.

Alain Ducasse is the resident chef and he cooks up meals as entertainment as you hear the adjoining Mix nightclub pulsing in the background. Try any lamb dish for a unique world-class experience. The shaved truffles accent are a rare specialty of this restaurant rarely found outside New York, LA or Paris.

After your meal, you can head down the hall into the Mix nightclub and enjoy a drink, dancing and company until the morning.

Mix at Mandalay Bay's THE Hotel gets two thumbs up from Las Vegas Hotel Review. Price: $$$$$ High.

Enjoy! From the Las Vegas Hotel Review.
