Sugar & Ice is a great place for an afternoon snack, and definitely one that can satisfy any gelato craving! It was sooooooo good there, and just what we needed to start our day of shopping. The decor follows the whimsical theme at Wynn, with mismatched clocks on the wall and plenty of candies in apothecary jars. And true to the advertisement in front of the store, you get to enjoy your … [Read more...]
SW Steakhouse at Wynn: Vegas
May 23, 2013 By
The SW in SW Steakhouse follows Steve Wynn's initials, because they "couldn't think of a better name" according to his hotel infomercials. You definitely need to reserve a table at this spot because it is PACKED on weekends! Even though we booked well in advance, we still had to wait a good half hour before being seated. If you're lucky enough to be seated outdoors by the Lake of Dreams, … [Read more...]
The Buffet at Wynn: Vegas
May 20, 2013 By
The Wynn hotel is gorgeous inside and out - they are so attentive to detail! When you walk in, you're instantly greeted by a whimsical butterfly theme and hanging balls of flowers (we still haven't figured out whether those are real or not). And if you follow the path to The Buffet (yeah, they named it The Buffet), you'll be greeted by a seating area unlike any other. I start … [Read more...]
Bacchanal Buffet at Caesar’s Palace: Vegas
May 17, 2013 By
If you really enjoy seafood, then we highly recommend this place... crab legs galore! Our taxi attendant at Encore told us this was "the best buffet on the strip," and also the newest buffet, so we just had to try it our (sorry Mr. Wynn)! The wait on a Saturday afternoon was a good hour long, and we almost narrowly missed the lunch pricing ($41.99 each), which ended at 3pm. Although the … [Read more...]
Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris: Vegas
May 12, 2013 By
No, it's not that Eiffel Tower but a 1:2 replica of the real thing. You need to take a special access elevator inside the Paris hotel to get to this restaurant, and from there be sure to request a table facing the Bellagio fountains (the water show appears nightly every 15 minutes). Reservations are advised because this place is packed! We first came here for dinner in Sept 2012 and had … [Read more...]
Terrace Point Cafe at Wynn: Vegas
May 9, 2013 By
We just had to go back to Sin City, and this time around we stayed at Encore, the sister hotel of Wynn, from April 26- May 2 2013. If you venture over to the Wynn, then try out Terrace Point Cafe and ask for patio seating. You'll be shielded by a large umbrella overlooking the pool. We didn't quite make it for breakfast, so lunch it was! For drinks we started with the … [Read more...]
Mario Batali’s OTTO Enoteca Pizzeria at Venetian: Vegas
April 14, 2013 By
Whenever you're at St. Mark's Square inside the Venetian Hotel, you feel like you've just stepped into Italy. Surrounded by the Grand Canal Shoppes (HELLO Herve Leger!), and a decorative faux sky, it might be one of our favourite spots of all time. Oh, and did I mention that Iron Chef Mario Batali has a restaurant there? Whether you're here for a late night snack or a … [Read more...]
Morels at Palazzo: Vegas
April 14, 2013 By
At Morels, the comfortable outdoor patio overlooking the north end of the strip makes this an ideal location for people watching. Of our 5 day trip, we spent 2 mornings enjoy breakfast at this restaurant: Day 1 Belgian Waffles with Fresh Berries and Housemade Vanilla Syrup We love waffles, pancakes, crepes and all that carby goodness, so Morels seemed like the … [Read more...]
Bouchon Bakery at Venetian: Vegas
April 14, 2013 By
Ahh Bouchon Bakery, where have you been all my life? I think this is one of the best kept secrets in the Venetian Hotel, tucked away underneath the stairwell in front of The Venetian Theatre. Words of advice: there is no seating area, but you can seat yourselves at the food court around the corner We always go back for the Strawberry Croissant, because it is just … [Read more...]
Todd English’s Olives at Bellagio: Vegas
April 14, 2013 By
One word: flatbread. We had a very memorable Fig and Prosciutto flatbread for lunch at Todd English's Olives... This flatbread is the best that we have ever tasted thus far. The sweetness of the fig and the salty prosciutto (not overly salty) result in a surprisingly balanced and memorable flavour. The flatbread is perfectly made: not too crunchy to the point that it tastes … [Read more...]
