Las Vegas is in constant flux. It seems Sin City reinvents itself every few years: and, in recent times, always for the better. Vegas has become a foodie destination, a luxury travel destination, even an art lover’s paradise. Now, searching for yet another new way to reinvent itself, Vegas has found inspiration in the glamorous golden age.

The Mayfair Supper Club is a new spin on the old dinner-and-a-show concept. Positioned over the Bellagio Fountains, the new restaurant matches fine dining classics—think tableside preparations of Dover sole and prime rib—with live entertainment, all set against probably one of the best backdrops in the whole city.
