ALEX Closes – The Enemy of Great is Good
Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien. (The best is the enemy of the good.) – Voltaire
There are passion restaurants and there are money restaurants. ALEX — the jewel in the supposed crown of the Wynn hotel — was supposed to be both, but was unceremoniously shut down on short (ten days) notice, despite being the very embodiment of the former, but (apparently) failing as the latter. What really went on behind the scenes leading up to its untimely demise will probably never be known, but the shudder has been felt by the entire Vegas food world (that now extends around the globe), and provides the perfect catalyst to review, and speculate about, what has happened to dining in restaurants, in Las Vegas, over the past seventeen years.

Neither did we.
We just thought Susan Stapleton was trying to slip us a roofie.
Dammit.
