    My wife and I thought wow what a great place to go to, and then, we saw the seating area. It looks very tight and close. Too much fire for such a small area (how did it pass the safety inspection) And the noise level .....maybe your three drinks each helped you with the tight arrangements and noise level LOL We are glad you enjoyed it, but it’s not for us. Thanks for the great video.

    • @JoshRachael
      @JoshRachael  2 года назад +1

      Fair point. It certainly is close quarters. We actually felt Bouchon was even tighter, not that it makes it ok. Definitely one of those where you sit down, hope you don’t have to get up and have nice neighbors. Thanks for sharing!

When we ordered the flaming steak it was almost like the 5 surrounding tables all joined in our awe. The Wagyu flight was a perfect addition. Great experience and would love to go back!

      Great question. I have expectations that it will be on the MGM Resorts website in the next month or so. Similar to Nusr-Et it was not listed when we went 3-4 weeks after opening but at 2-3 months it showed up. With both I got a receipt and took it the MGM Rewards Desk to have them add them manually. Hoping to get the points added with this one as well. Thanks for watching

    • @JoshRachael
      @JoshRachael  11 месяцев назад +1

      We were lucky and I have been talking to the Manager on Instagram for about a year, so can't guarantee that table specifically but if you book the reservation under the MGM Rewards website you will see the following message: Reservations are for the Prime dining room. All patio and view seating is on request only and never guaranteed. Patio seating requires a $175 per person minimum spend of food & beverage.
      So what we have done before for other restaurants at Wynn or Bellagio, we write in a request for patio seating in the comment section, then ask for patio when you check in at the host desk, and say you are willing to wait for a table. If you watch our SW Steakhouse video you will see we ended up with a prime table and did it this way.
      Cathedrale and Rivea also were places where we did this. Time, patience and asking nicely does go a long way - we just were lucky to have known a guy for the Prime Steakhouse table. @@rigoaparicio9929
