Reservations are strongly recommended, if not essential. You can make reservations about three months in advance; if you want to ensure a reservation, you should make one at least three weeks in advance of your planned visit.

With seating for about 75, you might expect Restaurant Guy Savoy to be tight. On the contrary. Seating at Restaurant Guy Savoy is among the best in Las Vegas, with comfortable upholstered wooden chairs and large tables. It's impossible to feel cramped or crowded in this restaurant, which is absolutely perfect for that special occasion.

The atmosphere at Restaurant Guy Savoy is elegant and understated. Understated should not be misconstrued as lacking, however, as all the little details here are very well thought out, playing well to the exquisiteness of this fine dining establishment. The main dining room is intimate, with room for 75 diners; the two-story ceilings add to the charm and deflect any inkling of claustrophobia. Although small by the grand Las Vegas standards, where even 120-seat restaurants are considered compact, this restaurant is proof that good things come in small packages. Generously sized tables are elegantly placed throughout the main dining area, along with comfortable chairs and small benches for ladies' purses. The décor is elegant, yet not overdone. One gets the feeling that the real décor here is the food, and that nothing in the restaurant should detract from it. Noise is minimal and you never feel like you are being rushed. Service is seamless; it's absolutely first rate and highly personalized. You're made to feel like a king, and you'll remember the experience for a long, long time.

The restrooms are located within the restaurant, off to the side. Don't run back to your table, though; even though you will love your food, and won't want to miss a minute eating it, you must take your time navigating the highly polished marble floor between the dining room and the restroom. By the way, there is a lovely attendant to assist you with towels, so make sure you're prepared with a gratuity.

Business attire is required and jackets are recommended for men. Every time we have dined at the restaurant we've noticed that this dress code has been adhered to, and even improved upon. Guests take their attire very seriously.

Complimentary valet parking is available at the hotel, both at the main entrance and at the Flamingo Road entrance, as are multiple cabs. Additional parking is available at the self-park structure behind Caesar's Palace. If you're ending your meal at the same time as one of the shows at Caesar Palace is letting out, you might want to allow extra time to get your car or enlist a taxi.
