Aria Resort & Casino
Las Vegas, NV
On our last day in Vegas, we were too depressed to eat. LOL just kidding. It was the opposite of that. We went to Bellagio for a buffet lunch and walked around with bulging tummies throughout the day! I didn't write a post about the Bellagio buffet because it wasn't anything spectacular. I found the buffet at Wynn way more worthwhile.
Anyway, since we were stuffed from lunch, we just went the simple route for dinner and ordered a sandwich to-go from Jean Philippe Patisserie inside Aria. I was paranoid that we were going to miss our flight so I convinced W to take the sandwich to the airport and eat dinner there.
Jean Philippe Patisserie offered a lot of variety in their shop. There were cakes and pastries, chocolates and cookies, and in a section of their chilled glass case, there were different sandwiches and savoury goods. We ordered one of their sandwiches to go and they kindly re-heated it and packed it up for us!
Roasted Chicken and Basil sandwich - roasted chicken, basil leaves, carmelized onion jam, cheese
Since the sandwich sat in the plastic box while we went through security, it got a little soggy from the condensation. Nonetheless, the bread still held up and the chicken was quite tasty. The basil did not play a big role flavour-wise but it was still detectable when my bite included a leaf. Rather, the onion jam provided a nice sweet and savoury hit to the sandwich, and it also made the sandwich less dry. If we ate it while it was hot, I bet the cheese would have made the sandwich gooey and more delicious too.
As a quick pre-flight meal, this take-away sandwich certainly did the job. I think it would have tasted much better if we had eaten it right after it was heated up. Oh well. Maybe next time! Though, with so many cafes and restaurants in Vegas, I'm not sure if I would be able to make a re-visit! Hmm...we'll see! 'Till next time, Las Vegas!
