I honestly don't think I would have come here, since I am not a big sports fan, if it weren't free. When I received a promo from Venetian/Palazzo for a prix fixe meal for 2 plus 4 complimentary nights, I gladly made a reservation. I was in town for a video poker tournament at another casino anyway.
When I first walked in, I was shocked how many LCD TV's there were. But I guess there are a lot of games going on and they try to cater to all different fans.
Our meal was as followed:
Appetizer - Crab, Spinach, and Artichoke Dip. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/KPV_FVNWkgmYh1ArVlt6kg?select=hOjEi0VyUZ7FFhyfVFy-Yg This was creamy and yet light. I really liked it. Instead of tortilla chips, you get flat bread chips which were really salty. I had to scrape the salt off. I also wished there were more of these 'chips' to dip.
Entrees: Slow Roasted Half Chicken and BBQ Babyback Ribs. The Roasted Chicken (1/2 of a whole chicken!) was really good. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/KPV_FVNWkgmYh1ArVlt6kg?select=BapWJm8u8y_oS0UggdlxRw The skin was crispy and the meat so tender. A solid 5-star. The BBQ Babyback Ribs (1/2 of rack) didn't impress me. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/KPV_FVNWkgmYh1ArVlt6kg?select=0mlDo5eLLf-COu3nUs4BFQ They were meaty but not fall-off-the-bone tender. This got 3-star.
Dessert - Double Chocolate Cupcake. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/KPV_FVNWkgmYh1ArVlt6kg?select=q0n-4xKt-WwZd_Jt8TPuCA This was sooooo rich but oh so good! A very nice way to end our meal. We were stuffed!
Service was friendly but I felt it was slow specially since it wasn't even busy. I checked the prices and thought they were reasonable for the quality/quantity of food at the Palazzo.
Will I come back if I have to pay? Yeah, I think so. ;-)
