ALEX, DANIEL BOULUD BRASSERIE AND WING LEI RECEIVE MICHELIN STARS
WING LEI IS THE FIRST AND ONLY MICHELIN RATED CHINESE RESTAURANT IN NORTH
AMERICA
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The premier edition of the Las
Vegas Michelin Guide (2008) has awarded Five Red Pavilions, the highest rating
available, to Wynn Las Vegas Resort and Country Club. Wynn is the only resort in
Las Vegas to receive such honors. Two coveted Michelin stars were awarded to
ALEX, Alessandro Stratta's namesake restaurant, and one star to both Richard
Chen's Wing Lei and Daniel Boulud Brasserie.
In North America, only eight hotels have received Michelin's highest rating
of Five Red Pavilions, only eight restaurants have received two stars and 55
restaurants have received one star. Wing Lei is the first and only Michelin
rated Chinese restaurant on the continent.
These prestigious honors bring a trifecta to Wynn Las Vegas, the only casino
resort in the world to hold the Mobil Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond awards for
both hotel and fine dining.
The Michelin Guide features a selection of the best restaurants and hotels in
a given city or region, across various comfort and price scales, and is widely
considered the "bible of gastronomy for foodies." Restaurants worthy of a star
or multiple stars reflect the characteristics of first-class quality, a mastery
of cooking and a superior product.
Named for internationally acclaimed executive chef Alessandro (Alex) Stratta,
ALEX offers refined French cuisine in one of the most luxurious and opulent
settings at The Tower Suites at Wynn Las Vegas. Chef Stratta creates seasonal
menus inspired by the flavors of France. In the hands of this gifted chef, even
the simplest of ingredients are transformed and elevated to the summit of fine
dining. ALEX has received additional honors including the AAA Five-Diamond and
Mobil Five-Star awards.
Wing Lei takes its place as the "Haute Chinese" restaurant at Wynn Las Vegas.
Helmed by rising star chef Richard Chen, Wing Lei offers guests refined Chinese
cuisine in a beautifully elegant setting. The menu features traditional Chinese
selections as well as new, innovative pairings of Eastern and Western
ingredients.
World-renowned chef Daniel Boulud and co-executive chef Wes Holton showcase
their mastery of French cuisine at Daniel Boulud Brasserie. The menu features
modern brasserie fare that pays homage to Boulud's roots while playfully
reinterpreting many classic dishes. Boulud's signature touch is highlighted in
an elegant and cozy atmosphere with a magnificent view of the Lake of
Dreams.
