There are probably other places to meet more Francophiles—we have to have an embassy or consulate around here somewhere. But the chic marble-and-fireplace setting of the Cognac Lounge at Restaurant Guy Savoy is the best place. Lower yourself down onto the petite furniture or hoist yourself up onto a dainty stool at the bar, then gird your wallet as reality sets in: Here you can indulge not only in any number of high-end Cognacs (Hardy, Hennessy, Hine …), but you can also have servers wheel in Savoy’s famous dessert cart.

In Caesars Palace, 731-7286.
