| - Brunch at Cafe Nikki was the most pleasant dining surprise of my Vegas trip. I was staying at the MGM and on the last day of our trip we had 6 hours to kill between check out and when we needed to head to the airport so we decided to venture across the street to the Tropicana to see what they had to offer for brunch.
The bright, clean, calming beach decor is what drew us in to this place and I am so glad it did. They were serving a brunch buffet at the time so we decided to take the plunge. Buffets had not been too kind to me, or my stomach during my week there so I was a little hesitant....that was until I saw the spread. It wasn't a huge, overwhelming amount of mediocre food but rather a decent selection of some very well thought out choices. It was so refreshing to be able to fill my plate with fresh watermelon, orange slices, grapes, etc. The fruit selection alone made me happy. They also had a selection of yogurt, crepes, cheese blintzes, organic eggs, potatoes, bacon and sausage as well as an omelet bar. The bacon was crisp and delicious, not rubbery like the MGM buffet and the eggs were light, fluffy and not overly salted or buttered. I was able to get a good fill of food without feeling weighed down and gross from grease. Plus the service was fantastic, our server was super attentive and personable. Oh and he kept my coffee filled to the brim, especially after he saw my sigh of relief with the first cup. To make it even better the price was very reasonable. Probably the least amount of money I spent on a breakfast in Vegas.
