Dinner in the Sky Las Vegas is expected to open in May 2013. The restaurant will hoist groups of diners seated around a table 180 feet into the air where they will be served gourmet meals from a rotating cast of chefs while taking in panoramic views of the valley. Construction has already begun on the T-shaped tower, west of the Interstate 15 near CityCenter, which will hold two tables each capable of accommodating 22 people, plus waiters and a chef.

Diners, strapped to their chairs by six-point harnesses for safety, will spend about an hour on the elevated platform where they will be served a three-course meal plus dessert. Much of the food will be prepared in advance and then finished in the sky on a convection oven on the platform.

The menu will constantly change but will generally feature a choice between beef, chicken, fish and vegetarian options. Cost to dine in the sky will be $290 per person.
