Picasso

Ever wonder what a splash of fine art tastes like? Here at the Picasso restaurant, in the dazzling Bellagio Hotel, you can find out. Picasso, named after the legendary artist himself, isn’t just a place to dine. It’s an experience. A feast for the senses, where culinary masterpieces meet actual masterpieces. Opened in 1998 by Chef Julian Serrano, Picasso is a temple of French cuisine with a distinctly Spanish twist. The restaurant boasts a remarkable collection of original Picasso paintings. You can almost taste the artistic passion in the air as you admire the artwork. Picasso offers a four-course menu for $115 and a five-course menu for $125. Certain dishes have supplements. The wine list is extensive, featuring between 1,700 and 2,000 labels. For those with a taste for extravagance, a bottle of Romanee Conti Echezeaux 2003 is available. Just be prepared for the price tag. In 2021, eleven Picasso masterpieces from the MGM Resorts collection were auctioned right here at the Bellagio, fetching a cool $109 million. The star of the show? “Femme au beret rouge-orange,” a 1938 portrait of Picasso’s muse, Marie-Therese Walter, which sold for over $40 million. But don’t worry, there are still original Picasso artworks gracing the walls of the restaurant. Even the setting is a work of art. If you’re lucky enough to snag a table on the terrace, you’ll have a front-row seat to the mesmerizing Bellagio fountain show. Imagine savoring a delicate dish while the fountains dance and lights shimmer. It’s a Las Vegas spectacle you won’t forget. So, as you dine at Picasso, remember, you’re not just enjoying a meal. You’re experiencing a piece of art history, a touch of European elegance in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
