There are so many choices in Las Vegas to celebrate this very special day of love. Whichever experience you and your loved one choose to enjoy, make this year's day of love something special with memories to last a life time. Love is in the air and the city's world class venues are spreading their culinary love to their guests and significant others, both on and off the Strip.
Some love birds enjoy the excitement of the Las Vegas strip. Over at the Four Seasons, Charlie Palmer Steak has a treat that should not be missed. Chef Steve Blandino has created an extravagant three-course Valentine's Day tasting menu featuring tender Japanese A5 Kobe steak or pan roasted Chilean sea bass served with charred escarole and cannellini beans. To make the night even more romantic, pair each course with specially curated wines. You'll also receive specially made "Breakfast in Bed" donuts to take home to enjoy with your loved one during the weekend.

Las Vegas has plenty of celebrity chefs but perhaps one of the biggest is chef Emeril Lagasse. This Valentine's Day, his Delmonico Steakhouse will highlight a "rabbit trio" of mouthwatering braised leg, crispy loin, and herb sausage with butternut squash purée and natural jus, and a sauteed gulf flounder with haricot vert, wild mushrooms, and truffle butter sauce. Emeril's New Orleans Fish House will offer Dungeness crab complete with Belgian endive, and a "surf and turf" duo of apple wood smoked Maine lobster and petite filet of beef with roasted spaghetti squash and green peppercorn sauce. At Table 10 don't pass up the John Dory with lobster and brandy sauce, warm sorrel, and potato puffs, or filet mignon with whipped Yukon potato, basil gravy, and sweet roasted carrots.
High atop the Mandalay Bay, the Foundation Room has one of the best views of the Las Vegas strip. Take in the sights and celebrate the day with a roasted beet salad made of asparagus, dried cranberries, hazelnuts, goat cheese, and orange vinaigrette. Next, order lobster bisque with a rich crème fraîche, brioche croutons, and chive Oil. For the entrée choose between poached Chilean sea bass with sea beans, aki nori, kaffir lime, and lemongrass mariniere, and coffee and cocoa crusted prime filet with sweet potato, spinach, and red wine vanilla sauce. Sit back and enjoy the view as you finish your experience with a lovely chocolate mousse tart with raspberry and orange coulis and Grand Marnier gelato.
Why not be as sweet as honey at the Summerlin landmark Honey Salt? Start with a shrimp cocktail featuring horseradish and tomato jam, or Périgord black truffle pappardelle. For your main course, enjoy a choice of achiote marinated cobia with blood orange, jicama, and basmati rice; or braised beef short rib and lobster polenta with truffle jus and herb salad. Dessert is a decadent molten chocolate cake with hazelnut streusel, vanilla ice cream, and Linzer cookies filled with raspberry jam.
