| - Great expectations built up by our enjoyment of other Caesar's Palace establishments and the warm seating area. They have a seven stars area which got me to thinking, why would a seven stars member dine at the food court. This food court is like any foodcourt except with more upscale names. There was the obligatory pizza place reminding me of SB___O, the chinese place, reminding me of Pa__a, a burger place, bbq, salad, mexican, lobster chowder place, and coffee/pastry place. We sampled the pizza, lobster chowder, and BBQ establishments. The pizza was disappointing, a poor attempt at imitating NY pizza except the crust was rubbery, the cheese flavorless and the sauce thin and watery. The lobster place was more enjoyable although the clam chowder was bland and they didn't have lobster or lobster chowder on the menu (I think they might have a lobster roll but I don't recall, still it wasn't the focus of the menu.) The BBQ place was not bad but the pulled pork was overcooked, the chicken portion small and it was clearly not the best quality chicken, more like KFC quality with little meat and lots of bone. The sauce was good but not on par with the better bbq restaurants in town.
What really knocks this place down though is the management company's brilliant move making adding a combo of fries and fountain drink to your meal a whopping $6.00. Individually the drinks are 4.25. The cost of most of the meals are only a dollar or two more. The $10.00 bbq combo became $16.00 with the side and drink.
I always hate places that abuse the pricing. They would do better keeping a few extra bucks in the patrons' pockets so they could blow it at a slot on the way out.
Anyway, two adults and one child ended up spending $40.00 for a mediocre dinner. You could do better at Serendipity 3 for a much better meal and only a few dollars more.
