This is a review for my experience at Upper Deck during our New Years celebration (going into 2012).
Jadira found this special deal on Callaway's Facebook page. Basically, for $60 per person; you get a 5 course meal for $60.00! This was their first year doing it and I totally loved it. It was definitely more low key than say the strip and we got a pretty good view of the fireworks show. Aside from that we got pretty tipsy and had some good food! Definitely giving this a 5 stars!
What did the $60/pp come with?
* you got to choose your meat (there was also fish... Salmon)
We opted for the Moroccan Spiced Lamb Chops and Steak Au Poivre (peppered). Both were succulent and delicious.
* Soup . Cream of Mushroom was the soup of the night (Jadira raved about it)
* Garden Salad with your choice of dressing (Ranch for both of us)
* Bread. It was Hawaiian Bread w/ butter... yummy!
* Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail (these things were huge!)
* Your choice of wine. We got the Callaway Cabernet.
* Drink Special (buy 1 get 1 free). Loaded Arnold Palmer... Amazing good!
* Dessert: we got CheeseCake and a Chocolate cake of some sort.
* The deal also came with unlimited driving range for your golfers!
* 1 free shot of anything (even premiums) for each person.
* Party favors the ring in the new years
* Champagne toast at midnight
Pros:
* Definitely low key and perfect if you are trying to avoid the masses.
* Good view of the fireworks on the strip
* Live coverage of the Downtown was on numerous flat screens.
* Spacious seating layout
* Excellent customer service (our waitress even came by to chat a bit and take our photo for us).
* clubs were set out to use for the unlimited driving range.
* They have that watered-down type of Ranch. I love it !!
Cons:
* Main Course took awhile to arrive and when it did, we felt a bit rushed to get to dessert because it was nearing midnight
* I wasn't told that they would provide clubs for use for the range... otherwise I would have not lugged my drivers with me.
Tips:
* If they do this next year, I'd definitely recommend an early arrival if you are interested in hitting some balls.
* Order the Loaded Arnold Palmer. It's so refreshing!
* Don't forget to pace yourselves with the drinking.
* I'm sure they don't usually take reservations, but it is reservations only for the New Years Celebration.
Overall:
I had an amazing time! It's definitely a memorable New Years celebration! It was an incredible deal for what you get and the food was surprisingly good. Year round, Upper Deck is open and serves typical bar food. They also have happy hour! I'm not sure exactly what is on their menu, but I do know they have burgers, fries, beer, etc. Due to the excellent service we received, I wanna make a stop here during a normal day and dine at Upper Deck. When we checked it, the Restaurant Manager came to our table to personally thank us and bought our first round of drinks for us since we were the first to sign up for their New Years celebration. Highly Recommended!
