86 year old father needs bland food in NO. Is it possible?

The American Sector, a John Besh restaurant in the WW2 museum, seems tailor made for the needs of the older gentleman. Unfortunately, most dishes are fairly bland for my personal taste.

Christmas Night Birthday Dinner (LV, NV)

It is my mother's 70th birthday on Christmas Day this year and I am looking for a great dining experience. The majority of us are coming from out of town - any help will be appreciated.

I think she would definately enjoy a french style restaurant over a steakhouse, though we are open to most cuisines. Sushi is out. Fish is great, though she generally does not prefer anything else from the water (shrimp, scallops, etc).

I'm pretty sure her favorite protein is lamb. Does that send us to a steakhouse? If so, which one cooks lamb the best? Which non-steakhouse does a great lamb?

We are not looking for a quiet restaurant per se, however, a loud dining room is right out.

Ultra-modern decor and any kind of new hipness factor would probably be lost on us ...

So to summarize, we are looking for great food, great service, great wine, and a great place for conversation at a table of 8 (ish).

Thanks,

Stephan

EDIT: Haha. Per the suggestion below - LAS VEGAS.
