I was just in Vegas on Halloween weekend 2004 with a bunch of girlfriends. We went to the new Bobby Flay restaurant, Mesa Grill, inside Caesar's Palace. It was excellent! This is a superb restaurant, but be prepared to pay. As far as a dance place, Studio 54, is still one of my favorites even though it isn't a new and trendy hot spot. They play a variety of dance music, it is roomy, and women don't pay cover! The cover for men was $20 the last time I was there. There is somewhat of a lounge bar in the Bellagio, but I can't remember the name of it. It was okay, but it was small and didn't have any live music. Have fun!
