Eating in Vegas - Yum!

After we arrived from Orange County, checked into our hotel and had a look around, we decided to get a bite to eat.  The Handsome Husband has been talking about The Capital Grill a lot lately (he goes there with clients) so he decided to treat me to one of his favorite restaurants. It is a short walk across the street from the Wynn.  

 Inside is the usual manly look of a steakhouse. It is situated right on Las Vegas Blvd. and has lots of windows so you can watch everything going on outside if you want.  It makes for interesting conversation.  

I had the Filet Oscar and HH had the Dry Aged Steak Au Poivre with a Courvoisier Cream Sauce, we ordered au gratin potatoes and cream corn with bacon to share.  The potatoes were enough for 4 people easy.  The whole meal was delicious.  We couldn't decide which chocolate dessert we wanted, so our waitress gave us both and didn't charge us for one.  Can you say Big Tip?!!!  The chocolate desserts were awesome.  

 The next morning we had breakfast in the Terrace Cafe.  Reasonable for a hotel.  $10 oatmeal (that just kills me) and $18 eggs, pancakes and bacon.  Room service was twice the price and there was no where close to walk to, besides WE NEEDED COFFEE!!!

We ate dinner at The Society Cafe in the Encore.  It is considered casual dining and was only $80 for the both of us.  I ordered the flat bread pepperoni pizza appetizer and tomato soup for dinner and HH had the caprese salad (he raved about it) and crab cakes.  We LOVED the food.

At the Society Cafe they serve you soft, fresh, warm pretzel sticks with gourmet mustard as an appetizer/waiting for you food treat.  It was incredible.  HH liked them and he doesn't like pretzels.

We were looking for an inexpensive lunch so we asked around and was sent back across the street to Stripburger.  It was sooooo gooood!  

 I had the basic cheeseburger = mmmmmm

 I also tried the fried pickles.  I've never had these before.  I liked them a lot, more when they were hot than when they cooled down.  Also, the fries were sooo good.  Crispy and delicious.

There are so many restaurants that I saw that I would come back to Vegas just to eat at.  Something to look forward to.
