I had dinner here on a Monday night with several colleages from Japan who were staying at Mandalay Bay.  I wasn't impressed by the food nor the service, which at this price point is important to me.  (Even tho I wasn't paying ;)\nWe were seated right away, and the waiter did not clearly explain our dining options, leaving all of us confused.  We finally figured it out, and we all went with the $75 prix fix with a $15 upgrade for \"Today's Special\", an organic Australian filet mignon with foie gras, black truffle shavings, and morel mushrooms.  Well I should have known better, this \"special\" sounded like someone was trying too hard with fancy ingredients, and left me disappointed.\nThe timing of our courses felt rushed, being asked several times if we were finished.  The courses were served without explanation, other than \"this is really good, better than Kobe beef.\"  Hm, another warning sign.\nFor desert I chose the assorted sorbets, which was served as 6 golf ball sized sorbets in a tray.  Nothing special here, someone missed the quality not quantity class.\nAureole is all show, so don't go.  Walk in and check out the impressive wine tower, walk back out and go somewhere else for dinner.
