What Restaurant Guy Savoy is
Guy Savoy runs one of the most celebrated restaurants in Paris, on the Quai de Conti in the old Monnaie building, and Caesars Palace persuaded him in 2006 to open his only branch abroad. It held two Michelin stars during the guide's time in Las Vegas, has kept Forbes five stars almost continuously since, and is run day to day by a French kitchen team that rotates through the Paris mothership. The cooking is modern French rather than antique: lighter sauces, vegetables treated with as much respect as the protein, and a sense of humour that Robuchon's room never quite allows itself.
Where Joël Robuchon is grand and formal, Savoy is elegant and warm, and a lot of people who have eaten at both say Savoy is the one they would go back to. The signature — artichoke and black truffle soup with a toasted mushroom brioche layered with truffle butter — is one of the great dishes of contemporary French cooking and has never left the menu.
The room
The restaurant is on the second floor of the Augustus Tower, reached by a dedicated lift, in a space designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte to echo Paris: dark wood, leather, stone and a wall of windows onto the Colosseum. It seats around 90 across the main room, a private Krug Room dedicated to the Champagne house, and a bar and lounge where a shorter menu is served without the full formality. Noise is low, tables are generous, and the service manages to be both precise and friendly — the team will happily chat about the wine or leave you alone, whichever you prefer.
The Krug Room is a genuine curiosity: a private dining room with a Champagne pairing built around Krug's cuvées, bookable for small groups and among the most indulgent dinners on the Strip.
What to order
Three formats exist as of 2026: the full Prestige menu of ten or so courses, a shorter Innovation-Inspiration menu of five or six, and an à la carte selection. Whatever you choose, order the artichoke and black truffle soup — it can be added to any menu. Other classics to look for: the colours of caviar layered with crème fraîche, the peas all around in spring, the oysters in ice gelée, and the crispy sea bass with delicate spices. The bread cart, wheeled over by a dedicated bread sommelier, rivals Robuchon's and the cheese trolley is the best in the city.
The bar and lounge offers a very good short "bites" menu in the $100–150 range that lets you try the soup, a couple of signatures and dessert without the full commitment. It is the insider route in.
Price range
As of 2026, subject to change: the shorter menu is priced around the low-to-mid $200s, the Prestige menu in the $300s to low $400s, and à la carte mains $80–160. Wine pairings start around $150 and the Krug pairing is far more. A realistic dinner for two with a moderate pairing, tax and tip is $900–1,500. The bar menu brings a taste of the restaurant in at $150–250 for two. Caesars adds a concession fee of a few percent to the bill; check the current menu on the Caesars Palace site.
Reservations and dress code
Book via the Caesars Palace site or OpenTable; the restaurant is typically closed at the start of the week, so check the days it operates. Sixty days ahead is the release window and, as with Robuchon, a weeknight is usually available with a week or two of notice. The Krug Room needs more planning. Card guarantee and cancellation fees apply. The kitchen is excellent with allergies and vegetarian tastings if warned ahead.
Dress code is formal-leaning: jackets are strongly recommended for men and available to borrow, no shorts, sportswear, flip-flops or hats. The lounge is a notch more relaxed but still expects smart dress.
Best for
Couples who want the best French dinner in the city in a room that feels romantic rather than stately. Food-focused travellers who care more about the plate than the pomp. Caesars Palace guests, who can go straight up in the lift, and anyone seeing a show at the Colosseum, which is next door — an early seating works with a 7:30 or 8pm curtain. Small groups celebrating with money to burn should look at the Krug Room. See our Caesars Palace guide for what else is in the building.
Pros and cons
- Pro: the artichoke soup, the bread cart and the cheese trolley — three of the best things to eat on the Strip.
- Pro: warmer and more flexible than its rival; the bar menu is a genuine bargain by fine-dining standards.
- Pro: quiet, spacious and easy to reach.
- Con: still a four-figure dinner for two on the full menus.
- Con: the modern-French style can feel restrained if you want the theatre of tableside carving or a supper-club scene.
- Con: limited operating days mean a short trip may not line up.
Verdict
If you can only afford one top-tier French dinner and are choosing between the two, go to Savoy for warmth and the soup, Robuchon for grandeur and the potato. Many regulars think Savoy is the better meal and the better evening, and the bar menu makes it accessible to a budget that Robuchon simply is not. Book the window if you want the Colosseum lights, and do not skip the cheese.
