Olives in Las Vegas brings to mind the Olive Garden restaurant only swankier. The food they serve sounds delicious.
Olives is located on the strip in the Bellagio and they serve up Mediterranean cuisine. Olives is another one of celebrity chef Todd English's hit restaurants. The food is not only Italian but from all over the Mediterranean. They have won many accolades for their dishes.

Here is some of what one diner had to say about olives....
You may want to skip lunch and save room for this dinner! We split the crabcake appetizer, which had more actual crab than most carbcakes I've had (and I'm from the Pacific Northwest, we know crabcake!) The Butternut Ravioli was great - rich and not too sweet. Falling Cake paired with Port was a perfect ending, although my husband also enjoyed the Strawberry/Rhubarb Crumble and Cappacino. Either way, it was delicious. Our wait staff was very good, especially because the place was packed. The vibe was upbeat and fun - lots of 'cheers'. We had a nice view of the fountain, although we weren't on the patio (too windy.) All in all, it was a great dinner!
I would have to say that Italian/Mediterranean is my absolute favorite kind of food. From what I understand the prices aren't too bad either which is another plus in my book.
