Top of the World is a nice fairly cheap “expensive” restaurant to eat at. I had done some reading of Vegas reviews and found that ones on the southern Strip were >$100/person. Top of the World, however, sounded affordable (if $60-80/person is affordable to you). It was convenient because we also stayed at the Stratosphere (one of the few hotels within my price range also). No taxi ride needed to get to the restaurant, which is convenient when you’re trying to herd your party to the restaurant. I made reservations online 2 months in advance for 6:00 PM. We arrived at the elevators late (6:10 PM), but we were whisked up the tower and were seated immediately. No waiting at all. We had three people waiting on us—we met the maitre d’ I guess, and then we had one waiter and another waitress. They brought everything out in good time. We didn’t wait much, and we weren’t rushed at all. In fact, I was hoping we could sort of linger and catch the sunset, and we ended up catching the stars and moonlight as well. Our waiter let us know that we could share the dishes amongst ourselves, so we did! I partook of my husband’s lobster ravioli, we passed around the buttery potatoes and the Kobe beef (so soft, my grandmother could chew it). My lobster bisque was creamy. I nibbled off everyone’s desserts, too. I was a total pig. Online, it announces the dress code, so we dressed to the nines, because we so rarely get a chance to play dress up. We were probably the most dressed people there, but we were also the best-looking.

You are definitely paying for the view here. Food wasn’t bad, but should have been better for the money. I have a lot better expensive steaks.

Love this restaurant! Everytime we vaction in Las Vegas we have to have dinner at the Top of the World. The view at night is simply to die for. If you want to time your dinner just right so you can watch the sunset, then I recommend this website. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=127&obj=sun&month=8&year=2004&day=1

While everything is ala carte, the food is very good. The service is impecable. Top of the World is a restaurant everyone should try at least once!

I really love this one. Beside the view being spectacular the staff works very hard to create a romantic atmosphere. The food, wine and desserts were amazing.

My husband and I visited this restaurant on our trip the second week in June, 2004. Everything was just fabulous! The food was excellent, the service very attentive (even though my foreign waiter..big surprise…was hard to understand) and the view was outstanding! We went for lunch because the dress code is not as strict and we had nothing but casual attire. I only rated the food an 8 because we did not receive a particular item (grilled asparagus) with the entree like described, but another item was substituted. Otherwise, it was by far the best meal we ate the 4 days we were in Vegas. Also, you have free admission to the observation tower if you eat a meal there!

My wife and I had reservations through Vegas.com for &pm on Saturday night – March 13th, 2004. We had no problems getting to “The Top” and we were seated immediately. The view, of course, was the best. We had the “Meal for Two” for $150.00. My wife had the portabella mushrooms and I had shrimp scampi for appetizers. The shrimp scampi was very tasty – but the portabella mushrooms (of course I ate of her plate) were “to die for”. I had the Tower salad and she had the Lobster Bisque. A salad is a salad – it was good. My wife said the Lobster Bisque was excellent – I didn’t try it. The main course – Châteaubriand – was excellent and plentiful. We had so much on our plates that my wife didn’t come close to finishing her serving. It was perfectly cooked and was served with small potatoes, onions, and asparagus. Wish I had this course right now. The dessert of the Chocolate Stratosphere was excellent and fun – they pour vanilla sauce of a chocolate tower filled with chocolate mousse. The service was perfect, the setting was perfect, the food was perfect. This was a great night out and I will definitely do it again.

We had 8:30 reservations did not get seated till 9:00. They have a dress code which they do not enforce. The lounge was nice but the service was unsatisfactory.The reception staff at the front desk were inexperienced and sullen . They showed a total lack of professionalism. The service in the restaurant by Lou – our server – was very good. I would not give them a 2nd chance.

If your looking for a romantic view of vegas coupled with an oustanding meal, this is a great place. On the evening we went, the power went out in the tower. The restaurant turned what could have been a horrendous experience into an unforgetable one. The food was still outstanding and the restaurant first offered to comp all of our meal if we wanted to leave. When we declined and stayed the dinner, they ended up comping 1/2 our food and a bottle of wine. Even without the comp, the food would have been worth it

Had a reservation for 8:30 on a Friday night. Arrived on time, but was
dispatched to the upstairs bar. Waited there for 40 minutes, and was
ready to leave just as we were called to our table.

Our annoyances quickly disappeared as soon as we were seated. The
server team was friendly and efficient. We ordered a prix-fixe dinner for
2 with wine (a different glass with each course). Shrimps were huge
(both in scampi and cocktail) and delicious. Their lobster bisque is
smooth and rich. Chateaubriand was perfectly cooked with a lovely
vegetable medley.

The signature tower of chocolate dessert was overkill, but very good
(The milk chocolate “tower” is hard and a bit waxy, but the mousse is
delicious). Raspberry and vanilla sauces enhance the dessert a lot.

The view, of course, cannot be topped. It’s the best way short of a
helicopter ride to see the whole valley. The restaurant completes a
revolution every 80 minutes.

Would definitely return, but probably not on a weekend to avoid the long
wait for a table.

To summarize: Incomparable view, pricey, but food and service that do not match.

Celebrated our Anniversary with our children. Wonderful view!! Service very good!! Food…...much room for improvement for that price. Extremely overpriced!! Children’s portions $15.00 for small dish of pasta without meat. Photographs another $32.00. Normally we don’t complain about prices while dining out, however the food did not make up for the cost of the a la cart dinners.

We came, we saw, we went!

What a delightful surprise. Had dinner July 4th evening (great plan, right?) Stunning view and fireworks perspective, very good meal and a pleasant staff, without the ATTITUDE of Delmonico’s in the Venetian. I’ll enjoy going again-even minus the fireworks.
