I had heard quite a bit about Zefferino's bathroom being the "best bathroom in Las Vegas", and, being known as something of a bathroom guru amongst my fellow Vegas-loving friends (read: I love pretty Vegas restrooms, and I love to photograph them even more!), I hoped to get a glimpse of the infamous location during my April trip.
My friend Claire and I had discussed storming the place while maintaining at least some small amount of decorum and discretion before we got to the intended target area. We decided we would have a drink or two before making our way to the famous bathroom at the top of the stairs.
If you’ve never been to Zefferino’s, it’s easy to miss on a casual walk through the Grand Canal Shops at The Venetian. It has an unassuming entrance near the front of the shops and really doesn’t stand out at all. If you're coming from the Strip, head into the Canal Shops and look for the green awning on the left. It's located on a corner, so if you turn and head into St. Mark's Square, you've gone too far.
We met and enjoyed a long chat over a glass of Zin in the downstairs bar area (thanks again for buying, Claire!) before making our way up to the super-secret bathroom located on the second floor in the back of the restaurant. You can reach the bathrooms by stairs or elevator, if needed.
We disregarded the sign stating that no photos were allowed without management approval and took several, because that's what we were there for. I must say that it is a very small bathroom, but I do like the fact that each individual stall has its own sink and mirror, and they even have mouthwash and lotion for their guests. The small size of the individual stalls made it somewhat difficult to take photos, but we did our best.
Overall, I wasn’t that impressed with the “best bathroom in Vegas”, and I think the bathrooms at Palazzo, Wynn, Encore, Bellagio, Caesars and Paris are just as pretty in their own way. Sure, they don’t have sinks in every stall, but they all have their charm and distinct personalities. I don't get exactly what it is that makes this bathroom "the best" - is it the mouthwash? The chandelier? I dunno. Other bathrooms can make the same claims, so I guess it's just a personal preference as to what you think is "pretty" or "special".
I would like to make a trip back for dinner sometime; the restaurant and menu looked very inviting, and it is a smallish establishment that has a certain amount of charm to it. I haven't heard anything in particular about the food, though, so I might wait until I have more information before I make a final commitment to it. I was pleased to see that they offer a prix fixe menu, which seems to be the new thing to do in Vegas. Hey, they get my attention, so why not offer them? Prix fixe menus certainly make some otherwise expensive restaurants somewhat affordable for the regular visitor.
Anyway, I can say, "Been there, photographed that." On to the next!
