Since the very first day we were able to enter the bold, bronze tower on the northern side of the Strip, Wynn Las Vegas has been serving seafood in a very different and delicious way. If you were lucky enough to dine at the original Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare, a celebration of coastal Italian cooking, you definitely remember that meal. And the restaurant opposite SW Steakhouse on the resort’s Lake of Dreams, Lakeside—opened in 2010—has always been an overlooked gem, trafficking in gigantic live lobster, rare Hawaiian fish and much more.
Now it’s time for a sea change. Lakeside closed this month and will get a visit from the restaurant renovation fairies (who are planning to maximize the views of the lake) as it becomes Fiola Mare.
