| - The Serendipity 3 at Caesars is a decent enough place serving mostly diner food dressed up with clever names. It's a place people visit for the novelty, so expect it to be crowded and busy during meal times and weekends. A more efficient and professional wait staff would make the experience more pleasurable, but with a line of people waiting to get in, the servers don't seem to feel the need to impress anyone. It's an "alright" spot to hang out, grab some food, and people watch - if you're not in a hurry to get anywhere.
Pros:
Average food
People watching
Strip location
Cons:
Service
Food Quality
Over the past few years, I have been to the Serendipity a handful of times, most recently in late August of 2011. My wife has this "thing" about visiting this place, but she's assured me that she's completely over the novelty/fascination. One look around and you'll know that everyone is here for the same reason - it's kind of funny/cute...hey, it's Vegas. Make sure you walk around and take in some of the sites and eclectic surroundings. You can always get your food to go and eat outside, although it does get pretty hot during the daytime.
The food is average: stay with the sandwiches and burgers - you can't go wrong, the other items are hit and miss, for example, the crab cakes were fishy and gross. Everyone gets the frozen hot chocolate or some other dessert - nothing special and not much different from what you'd get at your local ice cream parlor.
YMMV depending on your expectations, taste in food, and luck: although I've always had poor service, if you are a group of very cute girls and you get a male server, you will get good service...know what I mean? Unfortunately, it's "that kind of place" where the servers aren't professional and are easily distracted from their duties. If they screw up your order, I suggest that you make the best of the situation and eat it because it will take an hour or two for the replacement dish to come out.
In my opinion, the Serendipity 3 in Vegas relies on the draw of their name and offers little more than an average dining experience on the Strip. A few minor tweaks to the service and quality control of the food, and this place would actually be ok. Keep in mind that there are places with worse food and poorer service, so don't be afraid to give it a shot if it's on your "Vegas Do List."
