Restaurant: Munch Bar
Location: Caesar's Palace - Las Vegas, NV
Date Visited: December 2010
Las Vegas is a hedonistic delight and a foodie's dream. This is the city where you can partake in the "Buffet of Buffets" - admittance to SEVEN - yes SEVEN all you can eat buffets in one day. As if more than one all you can eat buffet was not enough. Did humans start to grow seven stomachs? In the hotels, there tends to be several classes of dining establishments: food court, casual dining, formal dining and whoa hold on to your wallet dining. I like to pretend I am a gourmand, but I usually go to the "formal dining" or celebrity chef category.
On a break between pricier meals (and let's face it, a break for my stomach as well), I decided to have lunch at Munch Bar at Caesar's Palace. I had eaten at Munch Bar before. I had read a review of Munch Bar and the reviewer was going on and on about how delicious their Lobster Roll was. Now I cannot say "no" to a good Lobster Roll, so I was giddy to try it. Only to discover that it was a seasonal special and it was no longer on the menu! So, I "settled" for a scrumptious shrimp po boy with crisp light French fries and a big glass mug of pear cider.
This time, my sister accompanied me for lunch. She had a steak salad with feta that was a large size salad and very hearty. She liked the tang of the dressing against the heavier salad components. I had the fish tacos. I was very happy that the fish was not deep-fried. The fish was lightly seasoned and the plate contained all the accoutrements for a corn tortilla fish taco. I could have used a few extra tortillas as they are the very small ones, but otherwise all was well. The French fries were not as good as I remembered. They were overly greasy, but I took that as a sign from the culinary gods (or a sign from my expanding waistline) that I should only eat a few.
The Munch Bar faces the casino and also the Pussycat Dolls merchandise stand. If you're eating dinner at Munch Bar, you will have a view of Pussycat Dolls-style go go girls dancing next to gaming tables. Not exactly the view I want with my dinner, but it may add to the ambience if that's your sort of thing!
Munch Bar has a variety of fun desserts. But if nothing appeals to you, walk out the casino doors and get an ice cream sundae or a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity 3 which is in front of Caesar's. I'll save my review of Serendipity 3 for another posting.
I enjoy Munch Bar - it's a happy medium between more expensive food options and the food court in Las Vegas.
