Luxuriously draped red velvet curtains left much to the imagination while we stood in the lobby and listened to music and cheers from inside. As the tall dark handsome man held back the curtains for us we were greeted by a visual delight, transported to a far away destination of a low-lit windowless room with ornate walls, brightly colored chandeliers, low booths covered in rich tapestries, tables with geometric patterns of inlaid wood and a belly dancer twirling about the room. We made ourselves comfortable and received hand towels as napkins. A waiter rinsed all of our hands in rosewater leaving them feeling silky smooth. We thought we were ready for dinner, but had we known what we were about to encounter we may have opted to wear something besides hip-hugging Vegas style party dresses.
The menu is a Prixe Fixe six-course menu consisting of Moroccan style shrimp scampi, Harira Soup, Marrakech Sampler (pickled veggies and hummus), Beef Brochette, Royal Moroccan Couscous Platter with Djaj, and B'Stila.
It was SUCH an amazing dinner. Next time you're in Vegas you must try it for yourself and don't be afraid to venture outside of your comfort zone. Indulge your senses with savory shrimp, delicious hummus, pickled vegetables, tenderly marinated grilled beef, soul soothing soup, chicken that melts in your mouth, and warm flaky puff pastry filled bananas, chocolate and nuts that more than satisfy a sweet tooth. Go to Marrakech with an appetite and plan on a food coma after!
