Sin City overload? Outfitted with carved stone, trickling waterfalls, and mirrored chrome, the Bellagio’s Sensi offers a soothing, but still fun escape from the hustle and bustle of the Strip. Employing Japanese design elements, the four glass-enclosed kitchens sit center stage, so diners can watch chefs use basic yet superior ingredients in preparing everything from sushi to Kobe beef. Balance your yin and yang by dining at one of the two chef’s tables, handcrafted by monks.
