Ed,
I don't know the current dress code at Michael's, but I don't believe
a jacket is required.
As for the food and wine -- I'd like you to think about what you are
hoping to get out of the experience. Michael's might have the most
over-the-top service and highest prices you have ever encountered, but
unless there has been a change since the Barbary Coast days, I doubt
if it will be the best food you've ever tasted. Michael's is the kind
of restaurant that is built for high-rollers: lots of table-side
preparations, chafing dishes, hovering of dishes. If you are in the
right mood, it's great fun and romantic in a kitschy way.
But there are many other places in Las Vegas with better food, in my
opinion. Some of them are very expensive (e.g., Joel Robuchon, Guy
Savoy), and some much less so (Rosemary's, L'Atelier, Bouchon).
Personally, I don't think you'll find better food anywhere at any
price than Lotus of Siam, where you can wear jeans and a t-shirt.
Michael's is old-school "American fancy." There might be a way to get
some or all of your meal comped. Unless things have changed recently,
the wine markups are obscene (as they tend to be at most high-end LV
restaurants). I know this might be a minority opinion. I have a
friend who thinks Michael's is the best restaurant in Las Vegas -- I
know she's sincere, because she dragged me there.

Next week will be staying at South Point on RFB status and have
reservations at Michael's. I read some past posts about Michael's
prices and it not being included in RFB. My first reaction was to
cancel our reservation but then decided to splurge at what will
probably be the most gourmet dinning experience we ever had.
We normally have wine with dinner. Based on the food prices I am a
little concerned what a bottle might cost. Are there selections on the
wine list for under $100?
