Las Vegas, NV
W and I decided to include a "lazy day" in Vegas. We planned to sleep in, hang out in Aria's hot tub and pool, watch tv back in our room, have a nice dinner and then head over to Bellagio to watch the Cirque du Soleil O Show. Such a nice leisurely day!
After waking up, we made our way over to Vdara to try its cafe for a quick but relaxed brunch. There weren't many dining options inside this condo-hotel. It only had the Bar Vdara, which served sit-down meals and alcoholic beverages, and Market Cafe Vdara, which was more of a casual, grab-n-go type place. The Market Cafe included a small gourmet grocery section where you could pick up items (like meat, pasta, cheese, frozen meals, wine etc.) to cook in your hotel room (Vdara's rooms included a small kitchen). The other section had some tables to sit and eat, and a chilled glass case with various sandwiches, cakes, and breakfast items that were re-heated when ordered. There was a menu to select made-to-order food, coffee, and other beverages like smoothies too.
Quiche Lorraine - eggs, cheese, ham
Coffee ($3.50), Caramel Macchiato ($5)
Despite it being early afternoon already, we wanted to have some breakfast food haha... Technically, we just woke up so it's still breakfast time for us! From the chilled display case, we opted for the Quiche Lorraine. The server then had it re-heated for us. The size was a little small and no additional sides came with it so the plate seemed a little sparse. The quiche was tasty though and even though it was re-heated, the eggs were not too rubbery and overcooked.
To wake ourselves up, I drank a comforting Caramel Macchiato while W had regular coffee.
Breakfast Pizza ($14) - scrambled eggs, avocado, mushrooms, onions, ham, bacon, cheese
From the made-to-order menu, we selected the breakfast pizza because it sounded like an easily shareable item. The pizza consisted of a long list of ingredients that we could choose to have what we wanted on top. The scrambled eggs were, of course, the basic requirement so next we opted to have avocado, mushrooms, onions, ham, bacon, and cheese as the toppings. There were other options like smoked salmon, tomatoes, sausage among many others.
It took some time to come out since it was freshly baked. Although the eggs were obviously liquid scrambled eggs from a carton rather than freshly beaten scrambled eggs (the texture was not fluffy), the pizza was simple and good.
With our tummies satisfied yet not filled to the brim, we immediately went to relax in the hot tub back at Aria after brunch! Ahh this is the life :)
