Since opening in late 2004, Mix has earned a well-deserved reputation for globally informed French cuisine, Patrick Jouin's stunning design, and spectacular views of the Strip.

Unlike most restaurants in town, which are attached to either a casino or shopping mall,Mix features a private entrance. Take the glass-fronted elevator to THEhotel's 64th floor,enjoying unparalleled 180-degree views of the Green Valley below. Exit the elevator and enter a sumptuous black lounge that emanates from a central oval bar. The massive molded core of the bar is designed to look like red coral. On the ceiling above the "coral" is a fiber optic field that shimmers like the night sky. The lounge contains wavy back-to-back black leather benches, separated by a strip of red light, plus white tables, black leather stools and floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Outside, there's a deck with brown banquettes and white tables. Whether you sit inside or out, expect more stunning Strip views.

Walk past the open kitchen to the pristine dining room, all white, including the tablecloths,walls and futuristic pod-shaped booths. A 15,000-piece "champagne bubble" chandelier drapes from the ceiling. Lining the north wall are wood poles designed to resemble a bamboo forest. Strangely, the poles aren't bamboo, but they're still attractive. Up whitestairs is a private dining room with tables for large parties, lit by pod-shaped silver lampsthat offer unobstructed views of fashionable diners below. A two-story wine rack forms the

south wall. Along the east wall is an outdoor patio, great on a rare cool evening. Two-story

glass walls flank the dining room, to maximize those views. The only flash of color: red

glasses. Each table holds a pad of Mix stationary with a pencil, to write about your meal

or to pass notes to tablemates.
