If you're hungry for authentic but contemporary Italian cuisine, try boarding the private express elevator at The Palms, which will silently transport you up approximately 600 feet from the Vegas streets to the 51st floor of the Palms Fantasy Tower and into the entryway of Nove Italiano, the latest Vegas creation by the N9NE Group, owner of the ever-popular N9NE Steakhouse. Part of the $650 million expansion of the Palms Casino Resort, Nove is a gem of a restaurant -- literally, thanks to its Swarovski crystal chandeliers, which illuminate the dining room. It's not just the chandeliers that dazzle at Nove, though, as all elements there are sexy-chic, just like all the elements at its sister restaurant, N9NE. From the multilevel venue's breathtaking views to its seductive lounge, it's all there. The cuisine just adds to the experience. Nove's signature pasta, for instance, freshly made Spaghetti Nove from a station in the main dining room, creates the seductive smell of garlic, which wafts throughout the dining room and makes for a truly authentic contemporary Italian experience. For a fun, fast-paced, energetic, full-flavored contemporary Italian experience, Nove -- interestingly enough, 'nine' in Italian -- is your No. 1 spot!
