Emeril's in Las Vegas

I had the wonderful pleasure of spending my 4th of July weekend in Las Vegas. It was a fun filled weekend of laying at the "beach" at Mandalay Bay, walking the strip, dancing at Tao, relaxing at the Bathhouse Spa at the Hotel, and of course eating some delicious and innovative meals. The first night was at Table 10, Emeril's new restaurant at the Palazzo Hotel. I stupidly did not take any photos, so you will just have to rely on my words to picture the fabulous meal there. It started off with two tasters which I have embarrassingly forgotten, I think there was crab in one of the dishes (thanks Anthony for not remembering either - yeah...who needs the ginseng shots now???). I do remember the wine...a very nice Cakebread Cabernet...in fact a very nice 2 bottles of it. For my entree I had the Lobster Pot Pie...a very decadent display of lobster, a entire lobster claw and some rich truffled sherry cream sauce. It was delicious and the restaurant as a whole had a casual and comforting ambiance to it.

The next night was spent at Delmonico's at the Venetian. We also started off with tasters which I took pictures of. Our server's name was Michael Jackson...haha...he was wonderful.

Anthony ordered Homemade Potato Chips with truffle oil....yum...makes it hard to eat Doritos now!

For appetizers, we all shared the Oysters Rockefeller....very decadent...and by this point, I was feeling full already.
One of my favorite parts of the meal was the Tableside Ceasar Salad. Michael Jackson came out with a rolling table and a bunch of ingredients. He proceeded to make the dressing from scratch right in front of our eyes. I never really like eating Ceasar Salad, but this one was to die for.
For my entree, I ordered the special which was Scallops, Shrimp and Pasta with a cream sauce. It was really good, but by this point my stomach was hurting from all the good eating. I thought I was going to pop at this point.
The dinner ended with some Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee (Latte). Apparently this is some sort of special coffee. Having been off the sauce for awhile, I loved the richness of the coffee. It made me reminisce about the good ole' days when I used to drink coffee everyday. It was a great way to end off a wonderful meal.
