Those are real Picassos hanging throughout the Picasso restaurant, which overlooks the famous Bellagio fountain. Chef Julian Serrano takes inspiration from the French and Spanish regions where the legendary painter once lived for dishes like pan-seared scallops with potato mousseline.

"If Mexico hadn't shared its chiles with China, would we have spicy Chinese food?" asks chef José Andrés. With dishes like Asian duck tacos, his new Vegas spot, China Poblano, fuses the two cuisines. At Jaleo (also in the hotel), Andrés serves traditional Spanish tapas and paella cooked over a large wood-burning grill. The hotel is a veritable food mecca, with restaurants like Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill, Scott Conant's Scarpetta and David Myers's Comme Ça. www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com

Under the direction of star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the kitchen at Café Martinique turns out dorade baked en croûte and delicious updates of retro dishes, like lobster thermidor and coq au vin. The wine list is impressive, too, with 31 Champagnes. Back in the 1960s, Café Martinique made a cameo in the James Bond film Thunderball. Architect Adam Tihany has since revamped the space with a birdcage elevator and a grand mahogany staircase. www.atlantis.com
