Glittering lights, fabulous shows and exclusive nightclubs
aren’t the only thing Las Vegas, NV has to offer; this town also has great
restaurants and delicious dishes that make it hard to pass up. While spending my
past weekend in Vegas with friends we took some time to find hidden gems and great
restaurants.
Our first dinning experience was on the Las Vegas strip in
front of Caesar’s palace. If you haven’t visited Serendipity 3, its’ extensive
menu never disappoints. A few of my favorite entrees at this restaurant include
the Nachos, Don’t Be Afraid of My Alfredo Pasta, and the Mac and Cheese (with
truffles). My favorite desserts
include their famous Frozen Hot Chocolate and the Grasshopper Marshmallow Mint
Explosion, Ice Cream Sunday. In addition if you are feeling opulent, you have
the opportunity to purchase their $1,000 Ice Cream Sunday that is topped with
real gold!
The following day, we stopped at Carnegie Deli at the Mirage
Hotel and Casino. This place is famous for, but not limited to its enormous
pastrami sandwiches. So be sure to show up with a big appetitive or plan to
share. I ordered the tuna salad sandwich with lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese and
French fries. When it arrived it was definitely impressive and somewhat
intimidating due to massive size! It was cold and fresh which was perfect after
a long day of walking around in record high temperatures.
After a late night of dancing we decided to satisfy our late
night cravings and headed over to the “secret” pizza place on the third floor in
the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Known as the “Hidden,” or “Secret Pizza” place, it was
not too hard to find due to its substantial line emerging from a long hallway.
Although the wait was long, the food was worth it! We ordered a few slices of
white, vegetarian and pepperoni pizza, which proved to be the perfect 3am
snack.
Finally Sunday morning is always the most difficult day to
wake up after lack of sleep and a long weekend. After packing and preparing to
depart sometimes its difficult to decide what you are really craving. Therefore
we decided to walk over to Cravings Buffet at the Mirage. This place is like a
food Mecca and is divided up by cultures! Although I have become less enthusiastic
for Vegas buffets, this particular one has never let me down.
Although I am aware there are many more incredible restaurants
in the City of Sin, these are just a few places I visited this past weekend. So
on your next trip to Las Vegas hopefully this can help so you can find a bite
to eat, day or night!
