| - 0-Stars. I don't care what Yelp says up above this review. It's not 1-Star... it's ZERO-STARS. ZEE-ROH.
Cafe Della Spiga is that big "island" in the middle of the walk area that sells gelato, drinks, sandwiches & whatnot in Caesar's Forum Shops. It's one of only two places to buy 'walking food' while shopping.
Put bluntly, Cafe Della Spiga is the "6-5 Single Deck Blackjack" of the Food Service world. i.e. It's the most colossal ripoff imaginable. And what's more, this establishment preys on the ignorant - people that aren't educated enough to know any better... in the exact same way that "6-5 Single Deck Blackjack" does. People just "accept it" and buy into it, no matter how bad a deal it is.
PATHETIC.
NO PRICES ANYWHERE
The first indicator that Cafe Della Spiga was a ripoff was the fact that virtually nothing there has a price tag. The only items that have a price tag are near the register and that's the price of their marginal gelato, which I maintain is something you can get at the Venetian's Cocolini, (which I shall review later).
...Apparently, the only reason there are prices are posted is because of an article that ran in the Las Vegas Review Journal by Jane Ann Morrison which I believe is referred to in another review on Yelp. Here's the pricing:
Child $8.99
Small $10.99
Medium $12.99
Large $15.99
The Bomb: $19.99
The Terminator: $39.99
BOUGHT A CHILD SERVING
To fairly judge this joint, I actually bought that Child serving. I really wanna know who it is that seriously thinks this is "the best gelato they've ever had" and more importantly "worth $8.99 for child's serving". I've got a pretty discerning palate and I'd love to know what these people's sense of taste & nuance is magically picking up that I'm not. I'm more than open to suggestions.
...Because - just like their prices for liquor, sandwiches, panini, and everything else they have for sale - I just don't see it. I need someone to tell me.
CONCLUSION
I'm not wasting any more time on this. Normally, prices don't bother me but this does because it's not just a poor value, it's borderline unjust and unfair to the uneducated that walk the Forum Shops. I know it's Vegas and "a fool and his money..." but that doesn't mean that we can't help try to educate some people about how bad this all is.
Rule #1: Don't play 6-5 Single Deck Blackjack.
Rule #2: Don't buy anything at Cafe Della Spiga.
ZERO-STARS!

DID YOU KNOW?
...Playing the Pass/Don't pass line at Craps has better odds than playing "6-5 Single Deck Blackjack" while playing the game of 21 PERFECTLY? You can be drunk off your ass and still lose less money to the house statistically while playing Craps than playing "6-5 Single Deck Blackjack" and that's assuming you're hitting/standing/doubling down with flawless basic strategy. The house edge on 6-5 games is atrocious and nearly twice the edge of the Pass line in craps.
