Price is $999 per person for this unparalleled experience, which includes all taxes and restaurant gratuities, plus a professional guide. It also includes a glass of exclusive red wine from a top-rated vintage or a special signature cocktail distinct to that particular restaurant served promptly at each stop.
Step inside one of Vegas’ newest and most impressive steakhouses, BOA Steakhouse, overseen by Executive Chef Brendan Collins. A favorite of celebrities at its original Southern California outposts, this stylish Vegas location inside The Venetian opened its doors in late 2025. Decorated with warm wood, elegant drum lights, and a contemporary slat ceiling, it specializes in especially luxe ingredients, including Japanese A5 Wagyu. A couple of the dishes have been created exclusively for its Vegas restaurant, too.
Settle in with your choice of Frank Family Cabernet from the Napa Valley or the vodka-based “BOA 405,” which is inspired by the classic Italian spring specialty of strawberries macerated with balsamic vinegar and black pepper. Then, sit back to enjoy the show with BOA’s famous Caesar salad prepared tableside.
Next comes one of the restaurant’s most prominent appetizers: clever Wagyu cigars, crispy phyllo rolled snuggly around Wagyu beef, and presented in an actual cigar box. Just like real cigars, they are snipped by a server before they are ready to be enjoyed with creamy black garlic yuzu aioli and chili crisp.
That’s followed by the fabled Japanese A5 Wagyu Snow Beef. This special variety of Wagyu is unparalleled. It’s a rare delicacy that few restaurants are even able to offer. Sourced from the Hokkaido prefecture, where the climate can be frigid, it is outrageously marbled. Thanks to that biting cold, the marbling develops especially delicately and extensively, almost resembling snowflakes in appearance. Hence, the name. The result is unbelievable richness and buttery flavor.
Enjoy it with BOA’s popular mac & cheese, made indulgently with multiple cheeses, and finished in the oven so that it develops that crusty top we all prize. There’s also zesty chipotle lime corn, with buttery sweet kernels charred to impart a lovely smokiness, before being finished with chipotle chili for a touch of heat.
Next, it’s on to Prime Steakhouse in the Bellagio, opened in partnership with Chef Vongerichten. This restaurant, with a magnificent view of the Fountains of Bellagio, is even more stunning, thanks to a recent refresh. It now boasts a Saint Laurent marble door frame, Baccarat-inspired carved glass, classic 1940s Parisian sconces, and a host stand as opulent as a fine jewelry display. Done up in French blue and caramel tones, the dining room has an intimate yet grand feel, thanks to Italian damask fabrics, layers of soft drapery, and Venetian chandeliers – all set against the backdrop of the mesmerizing Bellagio Fountains.
With its own dry-aging room, Prime offers the best Japanese and American beef at their optimum. No wonder it was named one of the “Top 100 Restaurants in Las Vegas’’ in 2024 by the Las Vegas Review Journal. The fireworks begin with bacon lacquered in maple syrup and black peppercorn glaze, then placed in a smokebox for a final hit of smokiness before being presented tableside. Next comes F1 New York strip steak, a Wagyu cross from Japan, accompanied by pistachio-crusted broccoli finished with lemon vinaigrette. It’s served with gratin Dauphinoise, a classic French side dish of thinly sliced potatoes layered with heavy cream, garlic, and nutty tasting Comté cheese that’s baked until bubbly for a spectacular cheese pull.
Finally, it’s on to Chef Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak, Vegas’ latest and hottest steakhouse that’s located inside the luxurious Four Seasons resort. This steakhouse is always a hard ticket to land, but not for Lip Smacking. Guests will be bowled over the minute they step inside, as they pass through a grand golden arch entryway that leads to a glamourous dining room done up in peacock blue and bold floral murals. Service brings out all the drama with a lavish premium steak sliced tableside, as well as a signature lobster pot pie with black truffles presented beautifully in a copper pot before its steaming hot, flaky top crust is removed to reveal a whole lobster napped in a brandied cream sauce. It’s accompanied by a playful creamed spinach pop tart; and the most unique mac and cheese, in which tubes of pasta are presented upright in precise rows like a battalion of soldiers, drenched in cheese sauce, then pan-fried until completely crisp on the top and bottom.
Dessert goes equally over-the-top with warm banana tarte tatin on vanilla French toast with a scoop of macadamia nut ice cream and a drizzle of preserved citrus caramel. That’s only the beginning though, as what follows includes a tower of just-fried beignets dusted with powdered sugar accompanied by three different custard dipping sauces; silky butterscotch pudding made with 12-year-old Macallan single malt scotch whisky; crème brulee heaped with fresh raspberries; and velvety milk chocolate pot de crème.
In Vegas, where the stakes are high not just for a good but a great time, locals and visitors alike know they’ll always come away a winner with Lip Smacking.
