| - I'm cheap. If you read any review I've ever written price is always a factor for me. My ticket was $175 (no freebie here) and for me, it was totally worth it. When recounting the best foodie experience I've ever had, this is the first thing I refer to.
The Grand Tasting is held at Caesar's at the pool and each chef sets up a booth...though the word "booth" hardly does justice to the ornate structures each restaurant/chef designed to house the food. No detail is left unaccounted for from the presentation of the actual food, to the container used to display it.
For me, variety is the spice of life and I love being able to have little tastes of all different types of food. Every type of food is represented, and while everything wasn't my favorite (how could that even be possible?), there were so many things that were absolutely divine.
The drinks are out of this world. The beautiful creations coming out of the bar area were delicious and just...fancy! You get unlimited drinks, and when you think about Vegas drink costs, this makes your ticket seem much more reasonable.
Some advice:
1. Get there as early as you possibly can. There is so much food you will not be able to get to it all or digest it all if you arrive late.
2. As hard as it may be, promise yourself to only eat PART of what they give you. I recommend having a partner to split everything with (try not to be wasteful). You will want to eat all of most things you try, BUT DON'T DO IT! You will be miserably full at the end of the night if you subscribe to my method, but if you try to eat the whole portions you will hate yourself for several days.
3. Get a map and take a pen. If you want to remember what you liked or didn't like after the event, this may be the only way. Your brain will be overloaded with names and foods!
4. I have mixed feelings on trying to plot your route vs. going with the flow. I think a mix is good- find the areas where your favorite chefs are cooking, and make note to visit them while you're in that section, preferably earlier in the night.
5. Make sure to find the armor-clad entertainers or one of the many famous chefs walking around and take some photos with them. You can also visit the red carpet and get your photo there.
6. Finally, there is a lounge area where you may choose to rest for a bit, but laying down on a recliner is a dangerous move...you may not get back up.
