Best new patio experience on the Strip

9/25/2008 12:00:00 AM The patio at Lavo at the Palazzo can seat about 100 and it's going to be a contender for the Strip's most popular outdoor dining venue, especially at night. It's located across from Treasure Island's "Sirens of T.I." show. Perfect for sharing desserts and exotic hookah flavors after grazing through the tapas-style Mediterranean menu. Managing partner Jason Strauss said the inspiration came from Les Bain Douches, a former Turkish bathhouse that was converted into one of the hippest clubs of Paris.
