Soo, hello again.  As you may recognize from previous reviews, I like to Vegas... a lot.  Vegas may be a borderline addiction for me ( I do go through Vegas withdrawals).  So on many visits to Vegas, I do go to XS at Encore to club and what not, and while in line, I always see Botero.  I was always curious and asked around and only one person I knew had eaten there and really recommended it (picky ass foodie/cook cousin of mine).\n\nSo, after many many visits, I happened to be in Vegas with my little brother celebrating a birthday at the same time my parents decided to go to a convention and they wanted to meet up for one meal when we were sober (which didn't really happen much that trip).  They asked me, who is the semi-resident, for a spot and I suggested Botero since they offered to pay.  So, with a reservation in hand, we went.\n\nSo the ambiance of Botero is very anti-Vegas because it is subdued, quiet and very tranquil.  The hosts and waiters are awesome and attentive, and it is a very relaxing atmosphere to unwind and breathe.\n\nOkay.. so on to the food!  When I eat with my family, we all order what we want but end up eating family style so everyone gets a bite.  What we ordered: Broccoli cheddar soup, onion portobello soup, ricotta ravioli, chateaubriand, arctic char, truffle mac n' cheese, roasted bone marrow, S'mores brioche donuts, and the frozen chocolate candy bar.\n\nI can not begin to rant and rave about this place.  Everything we tasted was amazing.  The soups were both savory and delicious.  The ricotta ravioli was melt in your mouth good.  The chateaubriand was medium rare perfection.  The desserts.... oh my god the desserts were rich, dense, amazing and orgasmic.  Lastly, were the sides.  The truffle mac n' cheese disappeared... FAST.  We could not get enough of it.  \n\nAnd my personal favorite dish of the night was the bone marrow with onion jam.  This is not for the faint of heart (or those with high blood pressure).  The bone marrow was melt-in-your-mouth texture with rich, beefy flavor.  Combined with the onion jam and the toast points.. DROOLLLL.  An amazing ethereal experience.\n\nOkay, so enough of this long winded review but damn, Botero is something else.
