From Ceasar’s Palace website:
Award-winning chef, best-selling cookbook author, and popular television personality Bobby Flay brings the vibrant Southwestern cuisine of his acclaimed Mesa Grill to Las Vegas when he opens his first restaurant outside of New York City at Caesars Palace in 2004.
Above is a picture of our bread basket. It included 3 types of bread and all were very good! For dinner I had the Sixteen Spice Chicken, a wonderful blend of spices and seasonings crusted on tender pieces of chicken. I’m looking forward to trying out the recipe at home, along with recreating the cilantro pesto mashed potatoes the chicken was accompanied with. The dinner portions were a lot bigger than I expected and I would definitely dine there again when in Vegas. I have much more respect for Bobby Flay… he knows what he’s doing and he dones it well!
After dinner, Stephanie and I went to see the show, Stomp! It was an great show with some amazing sights and sounds. We ended the evening with a beautiful view of the Bellagio fountain show from our hotel room…

After the show, we had a late dinner at Thomas Keller’s restaurant, Bouchon.
From Dining in France:
Next up was the Croque Madame… a toasted ham & cheese sandwich on brioche with a fried egg and mornay sauce; served with french fries. I know, you may be wondering why I ordered a ham & cheese sandwich of all things. Initially our plan was to dine at Bouchon for brunch where I would have ordered the Croque Madame. But since we were dining for dinner, I was surprised that the Croque Madame was also offered. So I ordered it based on the many raves I’ve heard of the dish. And just as I expected, it did not disappoint. It truly was the epitome of all ham & cheese sandwiches. The richness of the buttery brioche with the egg and mornay made this quite a special dish.

I’m in Vegas this weekend for a “Girls Getaway!” We stayed at Planet Hollywood – a centrally located hotel on the Vegas Strip. Here are pics of the hotel and our “Harrison Ford” room. We had an amazing view of the Paris Hotel next door too!I’m joined with my friend Stephanie and for dinner tonight, we went to Todai. There is a Todai restaurant here in the Chicago suburbs, however Stephanie hasn’t been. We’ve both avid sushi lovers so we decided to start our foodie trip here.
