The Nove @ the Palms was a pleasant surprise to me.  I didn't expect it to be so elegant and modern, and their Italian food was the same too!  Some items I tried was a thin crispy pizza with mozzarella di bufala as the cheese topping and a rigatoni dish - I enjoyed eating this one because it was rather spicy!  I had never had a Italian dish like that at a restaurant before. I thought they accidentally put too much spices in the sauce, but realized they couldn't have.  The spices added a nice 'kick' to my mouth!  If you're looking to eat somewhere with an awesome view of the Strip, eat at Nove!  Trust me you won't be disappointed :D
