Unique selling proposition: In a 21st century world dominated by wealthy celebrity chefs, the name Sirio Maccioni may not mean much to the average person. But he will be eternally remembered as one of the truly great, classical restaurateurs of the 20th century – and into this one. His landmark Le Cirque in New York City has served and satisfied discerning celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and power brokers such as Henry Kissinger for a generation. And he has helped launch the careers of superstar chefs such as Daniel Boulud. In Las Vegas, the torch has been passed to the next generation of Maccionis, But the legend of Le Cirque and its masterfully creative modern French fare and opulent setting continues unabated.
