Umami Goes Vegas (2010): Day 4: Serendipity 3

Serendipity 3 at Caesar's Palace is the Las Vegas branch of the famous New York eatery.   In Vegas, they're on the promenade in front of the hotel (not in the hotel) in a blazing pink awning-ed building.  That's why all Umami's Serendipity pics are bathed in this warm light.  Including this pic of their "Mr.  Reuben" ($15) Sandwich.  It's a large classic flavor corned beef reuben that didn't look all that big, but turned out to be a nap-inducing late lunch!  (and Umami definitely wanted fries with it!)
Asian chicken salad.  Honestly, can it really be called a salad if there's almost as much chicken as vegetables?  Umami's thinking that if that's the case, maybe there's room in the world for a turducken salad.  Hmm, must think on that . . .
For a lot of people, the whole point of going to Serendipity is to get their signature dessert, the "Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate" ($8 or so).  It's a slush that tastes like, wait for it, . . . hot chocolate!  Topped with a ton of whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.  This is awesome on a hot day in Vegas (i.e., everyday) and there's a take out window on the side of the restaurant facing the hotel, if you don't want to actually go in.  Even better, the Paris hotel, where Umami stayed, is part of the Harrah's hotel group, which gave a coupon book for some specials for deals at the hotels in the chain.  As it happens, Caesar's is part of the group, and the coupon is for a free Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate with purchase of an entree . . . so dessert was free!

And, after that dessert, a nap was definitely in order!
