We ordered a pizza, risotto, cheese ravioli and the garlic bread. Food was greasy with bland taste. The service was terrible.

Well I thought this place was pretty cool really enjopyed nibbling on calamari and sipping their house white wine. Think it was a chardonnay or moscato. Well my review my not be 100% accuarte as I was a bit drunk and was craving some late night sober me up food. Again while most times late night sober me up food means street dogs or drive thru I was feeling a little more in a classy mood so suggested to my friend that we try it out. We sat in the patio area and was not really busy just a handfull of people in there. Service seemd ok not the best or anything special but decent. Would I return? Yea maybe why not. Most people on here seem to have less than possitive things to say about this place but meh.

It is located inside Paris Hotel and Casino in a lively, old European setting. Le Provencal’s walls are covered with murals of the French countryside. The restaurant is a little pricey. I’m glad I gave this place a try. It was a pleasant experience and a fairly good meal. Make sure you bring your Total Rewards card, because almost all items on the menu are discounted by $ 1.

We went to Le Provençal. Paris is another beautiful casino; there are parts of it that really remind me of France! The restaurant definitely skewed Italian, but the location was fantastic and the food was yummy! We started with the Brick Oven Garlic Bread, served in a cast iron skillet. OMG. That’s all I have to say. As my dinner, I had the Rigatoni Bolognese, because I love that sauce. I was not disappointed! The portions were large, and I ate to the point of being stuffed. Good thing I was working out during the trip!

Okay, so I know the rule about eating seafood when you’re not near the ocean. And I should’ve followed that rule. I ordered the lobster bisque because a Unilocaler said there were chunks of lobster, and so did our waiter, Bryce. It sucked balls. There were no mentionings about having pieces of ravioli with what tasted like cheese. The soup base was good, yet it would’ve been better if it was a bit warmer.(I totally understand liability issues and tourists suing for hot beverages and soups), but both my soup and husband’s were a bit on the cold side. Not enjoyable. Oh, and he ordered the Tuscan white bean soup and asked for sour cream on the side, they came back saying they don’t put sour cream in their soups. Uhhhh, does it matter?! Shit, my husband’s Romanian and his people put sour cream on EVERY soups! Onto our entrees, I ordered the seafood pasta with linguini. Pasta was aldenté, sauce was blehhhh… seafood, well lets just say I had a few rotten tasting pieces of mussels, there were also some JUMBO ass shrimps that was overcooked and the clams were okay. Hubby ordered something with chicken… blah blah idk I was much more concerned about the bad mussel taste in my mouth. Okay, Bryce our waiter. I understand waiters have to be a little fake but your personality was flat out like a piece of rock. I didn’t appreciate the fact that you and that haggard blonde hostess were making fun of the old man coming in to have dinner by himself. *snicker snicker* was all I heard you two. You suck Bryce. I don’t really like your face either. Please do not send your guy that sweeps the floors to sweep around people who are eating! Worst organization skills here! Ughhhhh, why did we pay $ 120 for this place. I should’ve gone to McDonald’s.

It’s a lovely restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and a friendly staff. The selection seemed diverse enough. The reason for my lower rating is that I felt that the meal was unnecessarily heavy with lots of butter and oil. After the meal is when I experienced most of the regret. Now, maybe it was a result of my choices.(I didn’t order any cream-base soup, I swear.) If so, it was still a surprise. Others in my party had the same day-after comments. I might try it again and be more careful, I’m not sure though.

Stopped at Le Provencal because there wasn’t a line. Service was somewhat fast, but really nothing special. What was confusing was that a restaurant with a French name, in a French themed casino was so Italian. There was a guy singing«Mamma Mia» to tables when we were seated… I had the rigatoni, and my girlfriend had the ravioli, which may be one of the ugliest dishes I’ve ever seen. My meal was not good either. We each had one drink and the bill was over $ 80 which seems absolutely ridiculous considering how bad the food was. We regretted not getting fast food at this point, because it would have tasted better. All in all, it may be a two star experience, but the food left my girlfriend very sick that night and most of the next day. After reading some more reviews, it looks like she wasn’t the only one… We will certainly never return.

We were looking for somewhere to eat one night and happened upon Le Provencal. The food. It was fine. Nothing great, nothing terrible. The garlic bread was OK while the accompanying marinara was bordering on unpleasant. My Rigatoni Bolognese was unremarkable, it is hard to criticize something that has no remotely defining feature whatsoever. The wine. OK but overpriced. The service. We came away with the vague sense that our waiter wouldn’t have cared if we showed up or not. He did everything he should have, but very much by rote. So far this is very much a three star review. Nothing horrific but certainly nothing fantastic either. So why a one star review? Why the Unilocal equivalent of ‘run, run for the hills!‘ The reason for that low of a score came later. About four hours later when I was clinging to my hotel room toilet for dear life. I won’t go into detail but I was made very, very ill by the food a Le Provencal. I had been perfectly healthy up until that evening, this meal reduced me to a quivering wreck in a matter of hours. You may be up for a bit of a gamble in Vegas but I don’t recommend spinning the gastrointestinal roulette wheel. Keep your games of chance to the casino floor.

We had the Calamari, Tuscany soup, Lobster Bisque, chopped salad, Bouillabaisse Veal Scaloppine and Prosuto Pizza. All were well prepared. The calamari was crispy and cooked to perfection. The lobster bisque was very tasty and had plenty of chunks of lobster. The Veal and Pizza were the highlight of the meal. The Bouillabaisse had sand in it and although tasty the sand made it inedible. The waiter apologized and made it right saving the evening. I was impressed with the professionalism he had in dealing with this dish failure. Other than this one item the food and experience was very good. I would go back but will not order Bouillabaisse…

The garlic bread was very flavorful with melted Parmesan cheese and a chilled spicy marinara sauce. It was a bit surprising to have this cool and not all hot but the flavored overcame the unexpected temperatures. The bruschetta was unremarkable with little flavor, missing salt and just the tomato texture to even remind you what it was supposed to be. My mushroom risotto was sorely undercooked and crunchy. The cheese flavor and color were wonderful but not good enough to correct the undercooked dish. Service was pitiful. Our server hardly talked and never returned to check on our food. It wasn’t worth hunting for the manager. We know to never return here again. Very disappointing.

Was with some friends from out of town that were seeing a show at Paris, so we stopped by for a quick bite. We sat«outside» and had a nice view of the people walking through the hotel. Our waiter was really attentive and the service was excellent. The food was good, but was overpriced and left me hungry. I tried the Affumicata flat bread and enjoyed every bite. While very flavorful and delicious, I left the table half full and wanting more. If you are looking for a quality Italian place on the strip, this restaurant is not the worst choice you can make. Just be prepared to spend some coin and to crave food about an hour after leaving the table.

After a long day of walking the Vegas strip on 05÷17÷13 I told my wife that I was in the mood for some italian(Particularly some pasta because I didn’t have any in a long time). I decided we should try this place out for dinner since this was located right in our hotel. Upon arriving we were greeted by the hostess and seated immediately. We looked over the menu as we sat and waited for our server to come to take our order. The server arrives after about 10 – 15 minutes and takes our drink order. After 5 minutes or so another employee brings out our drinks. By this time we are ready to order but our server has disappeared. Finally after about another 10 – 15 minutes our server arrives and finally takes our order. My wife ordered the Creamy Chicken Penne with Pesto and I ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara. When the meals arrived we started eating within a few moments my wife and I began looking at each other like we had telekineses. Both understanding from our facial expressions that neither of our pastas were awesome. After a few moments of reading each other’s mind we asked each other how did we like our respective meal. My wife went first and said her pasta and the chicken was bland and only had flavor because of the pesto. I too told her that my pasta was bland and I even forgot that my dish even came with bacon because it was buried at the bottom of the dish. Sigh. I feel that because this is an italian restaurant they should have executed the pasta meals flawlessly in taste. They did fine in presentation but not so much with the actual taste. I mean the food wasn’t nasty but it wasn’t mind blowing either. If you come to this place you may want to try something else on the menu because the pasta wasn’t anything special.

Went here for New years eve dinner. I was like, hmmm I am in Vegas, I need somewhere to eat before the party, this place still has reservations available? Lets try it! Then I realized… yup, they still have reservations on new years eve because… HENCETHE2 stars. Food sucked, waiting took forever even though the place was not busy. Not the place u want to be enjoying ur last meal before the year end. Just my 2cents. Will try this place again on a normal dinner nite to see if my experience changes.

My mom and I came here after seeing a show, and since the prices for dinner were moderate, and the crêpe place was full, we sat down and decided to try something new. First off the service was amazing. The waiter was very nice and attentive, plus he was sincere in holding conversations. We got the cheesy garlic bread as an appetizer– holy fish fries, this this is AMAZING. I could have been satisfied just with eating this for dinner. It comes with fresh marinara sauce, which I usually do not like, but this one was pretty darn good. My mom got a seafood pasta, and I chose the Lobster Bisque. The portions for her pasta were huge, and she ended up having to take some home, but my soup was pretty small, but oh so creamy and tasty! I don’t know if it is because it was made with a thick cream, or what, but this soup was to die for. All in all it was a nice time out, and a great new place to eat at.

Came here for New Years Eve dinner. Didn’t realize it was a prix fix menu for ~$ 75 and since we were in a bind in terms of finding restaurants that were open for New Years eve, we decided to just eat there. Unfortunately, one of our group members was a vegetarian and almost all their options on the menu were meat based. They were able to accommodate her, in that she was able to choose the items(a salad, soup, and dessert) that weren’t meat based and they would charge her the la carte price. The food was certainly not the best that I’ve had. I had their tomato soup, which was rich in texture and taste. My entrée was a chicken medallion wrapped with prosciutto with other side dishes. The chicken was so dry and ruined my appetite. There was nothing on the dish that could have made it less dry so I ended up not finishing it. Their dessert was an assortment of sweets. There were macaroons, chocolate mousse cakes, and a jello type dessert. I can only comment on the mousse cake, which was delicious. It was just the amount of sweet. I’m not a macaroon or jello person so I didn’t eat them and we were all pretty full. After eating here, I felt pretty ripped off. The meal I had should not have been worth that price. Most likely not coming back.

I see all the bad reviews. This place isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. It’s not great, either. We came here with a $ 40 Groupon, which covered the entire meal. The service was fine. The food was fine, although not remarkable in any way. The service was absolutely fine. The manager came over to make sure everything was fine. It was. It’s apparent that they are paying attention to the negative reviews they’ve been receiving and are trying to make steps to improve upon the bad reputation. That’s totally to their credit. If you can get a Groupon or a deal, it’s totally worth it. It’s not the best food you’ll ever have, but it’s definitely not bad. It *is* a bit difficult to find, however. It’s not listed on any sign posts, so don’t bother looking there. You have to enter into the Paris mall/street thing and walk just past the elevator banks on your right. It’s right there.

dinner in Paris… Las Vegas that is :) Came here for dinner one beautiful evening in Las Vegas… we were greeted by the hostess and was seated immediately. We placed our orders… I had their house specialty the Chicken Pesto Penne! OMG! The creamy chicken penne with pesto was sooo delicious! Roasted chicken, sun-dried tomatoes tossed in a light pesto cream sauce… need I say more! Yummy! Came with a loaf of bread and two breadsticks with dipping oil to start you off. Even sweeter deal that we used a Groupon offer and our whole dinner was free! Sweet! Keith was our waiter and he was an awesome, elderly gentleman. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant evening! The restaurant is located inside Paris Hotel and Casino serving French-Italian cuisine and occasionally the servers, dressed in traditional French peasant garb, would break into song and perform throughout the night at this casual bistro. The setting is old European village of the French countryside with walls covered in murals.

I have walked by this restaurant so many times and not really noticed that it was something more than a crêperie or a pizza place. Then I saw this on Groupon and decided to give it a go. The meal was OK. For starters, they brought a bread basket with a small loaf of Italian bread and two breadsticks. The server poured some olive oil and balsamic onto a dish for dipping. Since I’m not a big fan of balsamic, which I think is too sweet, I liberally sprinkled my dipping mixture with salt to cut the sweetness. The bread was fresh and tasty. I ordered the lobster bisque for an appetizer. It had a lobster flavor but there were no pieces of lobster to be found. There were two ravioli on the bottom of the bowl that may have had some type of ground lobster filling but there was no flavor of lobster from the ravioli. For the main course, I ordered the New York strip steak and frites. I also ordered a side of wilted spinach. I ordered the steak black and blue and I specified extra rare. The meat was done more than that but it was acceptable. I wish they’d just do black and blue. You can’t un-cook meat but you can heat it some more if it’s too rare. The steak was a bit tough to cut, but it was OK to eat. Perhaps they need better steak knives? The spinach came with lots of freshly sliced garlic and was very good. For dessert, I ordered the crème brûlée. It was different than I’ve had before. My server told me to make sure I spooned to the bottom. This brûlée had a layer of semi-sweet chocolate on the bottom and then the vanilla bean crème with the glazed top. There were some blueberries and a ½ strawberry on top. Dessert was very good. Service was very good. My server, Frank and his bus person, Umberto, were on top of things. Iced tea was refilled without asking and Frank came often to check on how I was doing and to see if I needed anything. I was greeted promptly at the podium and the woman asked me if I had any comp, coupon, Groupon or anything else like that. When I said Groupon, she told me to make sure I showed it to the server. At the end of the meal, Frank asked me if I would take a short survey they were doing. There were at most 10 questions with an excellent to poor scale to rate various aspects of dining at Le Provençal. It was actually a 32 gb iPod in a large case so you didn’t pocket it and walk out the door. The restaurant is a little pricey. Comparing it to Mon Ami Gabi, I’d go with Gabi for the entire experience. I’m glad I gave this place a try. It was a pleasant experience and a fairly good meal. Note: If you have a Total Rewards card, almost all items on the menu are discounted by $ 1 and you get TR credits because the restaurant is owned by CET rather than being a leased operation not owned by the hotel.

3.5 stars. Don’t get whats up with all the bad reviews, I actually liked this place! My gfs and I were searching for a place to have a nice dinner. We’re super indecisive, and ended up making a reservation here because we were staying just upstairs and it was easiest. Their cuisine is french-italian, like the food is in the Provencal area in France. We started with their bruschetta, two had tomato and the other two had olive tepanade. Tasty and fresh, but they piled on so much toppings that it kept falling off! The bread was a little on the hard side too, but still yummy. The spring salad was heavily dressed, slightly on the salty side. Then we shared the seafood pasta and the rigatoni with mushrooms. The seafood pasta was very good, but the sauce was a little salty too. Plus one of the clams was still closed :(The rigatoni was very good, but the sauce was heavy on the garlic. No buenos for partying later! We also ordered their raspberry mojitos for only $ 6! Super tasty and refreshing. Our waitress was also very nice and friendly. Overall, I’d say the meal was pretty good, it all came out to ~$ 84 for the 3 of us.
