    I watch a lot of Vegas RUclipsrs. Most don’t like to go all out. They try to show us the frugal way to do Las Vegas. Which I appreciate. But RUclips loves extravagance, and why not. RUclips is the only way most of us will experience a $700 meal. This channel is going to explode!

      I love a good cheap meal, but I agree, extravagant is fun! And definitely not something most of us are gonna do. Plus, I think it's fun to give you something to try that's different.

    That's the beauty of RUclips-I can live vicariously through these videos. I would never personally eat at a place like this or spend that kind of money on 1 meal. $725 could feed me for several months. Thanks for this experience!

      It’s because you don’t have the money. To a millionaire this is cheaper than a $7.00 meal of someone making 30k yearly

      @@rahimi4762 it's because I want value for my hard earned money. That much money for 1 meal is not a value. Even if I was a millionaire, i still wouldn't spend that much. It's about mindset.

    Dined there a couple of times several years ago before Le Cirque had to temporarily close due to the pandemic. Glad to see they've reopened. Unless things have changed, they offer two prix fixe menus. One being insanely expensive, the other much more reasonable....but still expensive by many standards. The time I was there I opted for the less pricey version, and it was still a knockout. Plus, the service is flat out unbeatable. They make you feel like you're the only diner in the place that night. The only restaurant in my entire life that equaled Le Cirque in terms of phenomenal service was LA's Providence.

Bazaar Meat is currently my favorite restaurant, but I find Le Cirque to be intriguing!

    I had the SW version of that dessert when I was there for dinner last week. That SW meal turned out to be one of my most expensive ever. I spent over $1000 and there wasn't even Wagyu involved. But there was caviar, an absolutely stunning bottle of Shiraz from Barossa Valley in Australia and some Madeira from 1937 (the bottle of wine alone was about 1/2 the bill).

    Legit question: How in the world do you afford all of this? I mean this with no disrespect, but your channel is still growing, this can’t all be paid for with RUclips revenue. With the quality of your videos I have no doubt that one day that will absolutely be possible but as it stands I have to assume that your cash flow comes from elsewhere. Is it investments? Trading? Are you actively working a job while making these videos and traveling? I’m not trying to be rude by asking, I’m legitimately curious. Keep up the good work.
