I’m going to get straight to the ‌point: Carbone has a ‍miniyacht. Its name is Fortuna. Its port of origin is the Bellagio Fountain in‌ Las Vegas, whose 8.5-acre chlorinated waters reach thirteen​ feet‌ at their deepest point. A⁤ captain named Mike technically could floor it, but he’s not gonna, because ‍that would‍ make you spill your glass of champagne, or your potato chip loaded with Petrossian caviar.

The Fortuna, a custom-built vessel, offers an exclusive dining experience directly on the ⁣Bellagio⁣ fountains. This unique offering, created by Major Food Group (the team behind ⁢Carbone, Torrisi Bar & Restaurant, and ZZ’s Club), elevates the already luxurious dining experience at the Las Vegas resort.‌ It’s not merely a meal; it’s a spectacle.

What is the Fortuna⁤ Experience?

the Fortuna is a 40-foot, Italian-designed yacht permanently moored in the Bellagio fountains. Guests can book private dining experiences, enjoying Carbone’s signature Italian-American cuisine while watching the⁢ iconic fountain show. Reservations are highly sought after and come with a significant price tag, reflecting the exclusivity‌ and unparalleled views.

The Details: Cost, Capacity, and Cuisine

The Fortuna experience is undeniably expensive. While exact‌ pricing varies, reports indicate a minimum spend of around $10,000 for a two-hour reservation. This typically accommodates up‍ to eight guests. The menu features Carbone’s renowned dishes, including Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Lobster Ravioli, and veal Parmesan. Champagne‍ and caviar pairings are, naturally,‌ encouraged.
