Although savouring a bite of a delicious French pastry is generally associated with quaint Parisian patisseries and cobblestone streets, the exquisite desserts at Jean Philippe's Patisserie at the new ARIA Hotel provide an excellent argument for heading to Las Vegas to indulge your sweet tooth. Jean Philippe, the executive pastry chef for the Bellagio's suite of restaurants, was given free rein in developing this patisserie, creating a range of classic European desserts that almost never disappoint. Specialties include crepes, brioches, and tea cakes complemented by candies and truffles. The cafe is comfortable and cozy, yet is positioned alongside Aria's sprawling ground floor casino. Savory options include vegetable crepes and paninis, and while they are well executed, you'll more than likely succumb to the temptation of enjoying a meal comprising entirely of sweet treats.
