| - I was recently in Vegas for a day and a half during a cross-country road trip. The whole day in Vegas had been pretty ho hum (we did see Cirque du Soleil's Mystere, which was AWESOME, but that was at night!), and I'll admit, I was secretly counting the hours until our departure. Sorry, I'm just not much of a Vegas gal, I prefer the outdoors to the nightlife any day. Anyhoo, we went to dinner at Blue Ribbon because it was connected to our hotel, and allowed us to get to our Cirque show w/o being late. Expectations were that we would get mediocre food but pay a lot. They are a $$$$ place after all.
Was I wrong! Seriously, aside from the Cirque show being phenomenal later that night, the best part of the day was our meal at Blue Ribbon! The food was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed my appetizer of tofu & seaweed. The ginger touch to such a simple dish was amazing. My friend, who's a BIG fan of spice, asked for a couple of hot dips to be served w/his meal. I wish I knew what the names were, but there was one that was on the creamy side, and mixed w/my tofu seaweed salad, it was just dancing in my mouth. I also had an order of their avocado vegetable rolls and absolutely LOVED it. They were so fresh and flavorful, hands down the best of any avocado rolls I've ever had! For my entree I was on the fence between ordering their wild mushroom roast or getting a few plates of different vegetable rolls. Our server convinced me to get their wild mushroom roast. I had a bite of it after having an incredible appetizer and the best avocado rolls, so it just fell a bit short. It was also a tad on the greasy side and just not in sync with the rest of my meal. My friend told me to send it back, something I've never done, but glad he suggested it. What ended up happening was I asked our server if it was possible to swap the mushroom roast (more expensive) for just another order of avocado rolls (waay cheaper), and I was willing to pay the price of the mushroom roast. I told him I just really loved the avocado rolls and was hoping to have more of them. He was sooo nice and obliged this request and not only did the swap, but he took out the mushroom roast from the bill and just charged me for the avocado rolls, which was super cool.
From this meal on, the rest of the time in Vegas was a whole lot better, and left a good taste in my mouth. If you're in Sin City, I'd say this is definitely worth giving a try, you'll leave full (but not stuffed!), and more than content. Oh, and I forgot to mention, service is also terrific!
