Caesars Palace - Serendipity 3

Caesars Palace - Serendipity 3

las vegas  

Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace. This was in December 2009, and around 1pm. I was a little worried it was gonna be crowded, because I read reviews and some people said they had to wait for an hour. But luckily, there were 1 or 2 tables open, and we didn't have to wait to get seated. Although it was pretty crowded. By the time we were leaving, there was a line.

To me, everything was a little pricey, but the portions are big. Most people seem to be ordering burgers and sundaes. Almost nobody was ordering pizza, salads, omelet or soups.



I love the decor in this restaurant. Very cute.


























They've got a huge menu! We were looking at the menu for 15 minutes. Hard to decide.





















































Foot-long hot dog $14.50
Served on a toasted homemade bun with choice of waffle fries or sweet potato fries













It was long. Like double length of a regular hot dog. Also probably the most expensive hot dog I ever had. But at the same time, it was one of the tastiest hot dogs I ever had. I just loved it. This homemade bun had a rich buttery flavor. I couldn't get enough. We shared this time, but next time, I'm gonna eat it all by myself!

























sweet potato fries












Can't Say No sundae $14
Humble pie, vanilla ice cream, coffee ice cream, banana, peanuts, hot fudge, topped with whipped cream













Sure you can't say no. Although, it was a little too rich for me. I'm the person who's not so crazy about fudge or whipped cream. Yes, this sundae looks great, but my brain kept telling me "high calorie, don't eat too much".


























Big mess. Yes, I know.













This was in December, so there are Christmas trees.

Caesars Palace - Nero's 2008

Caesars Palace - Nero's 2008

las vegas  

Our second time at Nero's at Caesars Palace. We really liked the first time we visited here back in 2007. This was on Christmas Day, so they had a special menu. I ordered NY strip, my husband ordered from the Christmas menu: crab salad, duck, and dessert.

CLICK HERE for pics from 2007.
















lobster bisque $14













NY strip (16oz) $49 + sauce $3













I never had New York Strip before. I always order filet mignon or rib-eye so I decided to order this. My husband told me that this is the basic steak you can get. Also it's tougher than other meat. I figured this is probably a good place to order steak. They probably cook it right. But unfortunately the steak was too tough for me, and I didn't like it at all. I'm never gonna eat this steak again. At least I learned that.


























roasted potatoes $9













Of course, you can't see this purple color while you are eating, since the restaurant is pretty dark. Potatoes were tasty.













Alaskan king crab salad $19
Marinated daikon, pineapple jus, vanilla oil













Absolutely delicious!! Tasty. Can you see vanilla beans in the oil!?













Long Island Duck "2 ways" $39
Seared breast and confit of leg, braised endive, fried polenta, orange-coriander sauce













The duck was just OK.


























Chocolate, custard, and apple $7 (?)
pistachio biscuit, light chocolate mousse













Mini apple. The smallest apple I've ever seen. This was the size of a cherry. At first we couldn't tell what this was, because it looks like a cherry but it doesn't taste like a cherry. It was very good.













Rich chocolate mousse













Nero's menu.This was taken in December 2008.
* Wow, prices went really up since 2007.













dessert menu

Caesars Palace - Beijing Noodle No.9

Caesars Palace - Beijing Noodle No.9

las vegas  

Beijing Noodle No. 9 at Caesars Palace. We were not sure if we wanted to eat here or at Sea Harbour. But the Sea Harbour prices were a rip-off, it was seriously expensive, so we decided to try here. The decor was very nice, like a cool cafe in Tokyo. I didn't realize until now, but all the items in the menu prices are .09. This place also has bird's nest on the menu for $99.09.

We got our first order (it was chicken) after waiting 30 minutes. They said beef pancake and soup dumplings take longer to cook.

I suggest you order whatever says "chef's special", maybe? At least the noodles here looks like homemade, so you might wanna try that, but I'm not saying they are delicious. We weren't crazy about the noodles, but maybe you'd like them.

We don't know what "Beijing" style food taste should be. We've never been to Beijing. So if you are actually from Beijing and tried this place, please tell me if this is the real Beijing taste or not.



Imperial seafood soup dumplings $12.09
I hated, but he liked it.













Rice $3.09
Rice should be free, don't you think?













Chef's special handmade noodle with diced eggplant (Beijing style) $12.09













Noodle itself had no taste, but with eggplant, it was all right. It was very light flavor.


























Chef Yu's special beef pancake $9.09













I actually liked these pancakes. My husband didn't.













Beijing salt and pepper chicken $15.09













We were kinda shocked when we saw this chicken. Because it looked very different from salt and pepper chicken we've eaten before. This was just dry, deep-fried chicken. My husband was so pissed off and hated it.













And the chicken didn't look like real chicken.
