The Strip made $21.8 billion in total revenue last year, including more than $8.8 billion in gaming revenue.

Like the majority of the sprawling Fontainebleau resort on the north Strip, there’s nothing that feels like Las Vegas within Mother Wolf, LA chef Evan Funke’s homage to the cuisine of Rome. But every inch of this glamorous restaurant and every moment of this dining experience feels special, and that, of course, is the ultimate objective of every venue on the Strip. In Hollywood, the original Mother Wolf is a celebrity magnet, one of those tough-reservation hot spots.
