Upon entering, a glass elevator whisks guests eleven stories above the Las Vegas Strip to reach the restaurant. You will be escorted through the busy display kitchen into the glass walled dining room. You are in for an unforgettable treat watching the Bellagio fountains dance below as you dine from Chef Joho's tasting and à la carte menus. Whether for a romantic meal for two or group dining, Eiffel Tower is more than just a meal, it is an experience.
