| - So I'm a big MyVegas Fan, despite the decrease in worthwhile rewards. One of the better rewards I was lucky enough to snag in the couple minutes that it sold out in was the 2-for-1 Chef's Tasting Dinner for 200,000 LPs. This covered $150 of the bill (price for one person).
I have never been part of such a fancy dinner in my life!
The first thing the chef did was check in with us to see if we had any dietary restrictions. Then, as customary, he took our drink orders. We were surprised to learn a glass of wine only averaged about $10 with our dinner. My mom mistakenly ordered a red wine when she meant white, so we switched. The chef then offered to get us a new one, which was super nice of course; but we were fine.
He also asked if we had any time restrictions. We did, as we had the shark reef at 7 pm and a then a show in another hotel. (Our reservation at Lupo was at 5 pm). He was able to make sure we left on time.
I don't know the names of all the dishes, they were too fancy for my vocabulary. I know the first dish was some kind of raw meat, I think a beef carpaccio dish? After that, I don't know the order, only that we had some fish, some delicious pea ravioli, shrimp and vegetables, a pistachio soufflé with raspberry gelato, and a chocolate layered ice cream-like dessert.
Everything was heavenly. The sauces and spices that made the flavoring of all the dishes were the best and most unique I have EVER had. It is no wonder this restaurant is so highly renown and this dinner so pricey! And oh my god, how did he know I love pistachio flavored anything, and soufflés are of course my favorite dessert! He combined them and I was stunned by my tingling tastebuds. It was like they were singing in joy.
Our total came to $183 including the 2 glasses of wine. We tipped $50 taking in account for the $150 we didn't have to pay for... but now rethinking this amount while not drinking, I think we should have tipped more.... like $15 more? Well, next time...
At least I'll try to make there be a next time!
