Las Vegas, NV
Modeled after the real French city, stepping into Paris Resort in Las Vegas felt like walking through a grand palace (the registration lobby) and then into the streets at sunset (restaurants and retail section).
W and I made our way from Aria to Paris for brunch on our second day. After a quick stroll through the "streets", we decided on Le Cafe Ile St. Louis.
Complimentary rolls + butter
Latte ($5)
Mimosa de Soleil ($7)
Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut with fresh squeezed orange juice
Feeling in a very vacation-y mood, I ordered their Mimosa to start my day. Orange juice and champagne! Whoo! The latte was W's and our server brought over a large basket of bread for us as well. It felt like such a waste because we only ate 1 roll out of the whole basket.
Salade Maison ($5 add on only)
Mix of tender greens, diced cucumbers, shaved shallot, tear drop tomato, ranch dressing
Not wanting to forget our vegetables during our vacation, we tacked on a side salad to our meal. It was just a regular house salad with ranch dressing. The dressing tasted a little off to me though... I'm not sure what it was, it just didn't taste right.
Croque Madame ($15)
Parisian ham, emmental cheese, mornay sauce, sunny side up egg and pomme frites
Parisian ham, emmental cheese, mornay sauce, sunny side up egg and pomme frites
We had already decided to go to Wynn for their buffet dinner so we just shared a meal. As usual, I got my way and chose my favourite grilled cheese sandwich!! Rather than a poached egg, the cafe topped the sandwich with a fried egg. I guess that is the usual practice with Croque Madame? Anyway, the whole package was still delicious and gooey. The fries were crisp and had a dusting of herbs (cilantro? parsley?) but if there was some grated parmesan it would have taken the fries to another level.
Service was friendly and for the first half of the meal we were well attended to. However, when we finished our food, it took a really really long time to get someone to take our plates away and bring us our bill. In fact, our original server disappeared and the bus boy had to find someone else to serve us. We weren't in a big hurry so that didn't really irk us too much but it just felt like we were abandoned.... Still, Le Cafe Ile St. Louis was a nice starting point to our day.
