text: Today I took the first Nosh Las Vegas Tour held in Caesars Palace, and I couldn't be more thrilled with overall concept and presentation. \n\nI am native to San Diego, Ca- just visiting Las Vegas for the weekend, and I felt like I accomplished a lot in a very small time. The Las Vegas experience, especially the strip, is highly overwhelming. There are so many things to see or do, but never enough time to tackle it all. Nosh provides you with an engaging tour of not only Caesars Palace, but some of the best eateries in town that would have otherwise taken a week to experience, if at all.\n\nThe line up is unbelievable from Serendipity, Beijing Noodle #9, and Payard Patisserie & Bistro to the Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill and the Old Homestead Steakhouse. There is something for everyone, and it's a cultural high! These are restaurants I would never be able to set foot in on a college budget, much less get the opportunity to be served by the General Managers and Executive Chefs. It's a priceless experience that thankfully Nosh has priced at $59. And for those used to a high class dinning experience, you won't be disappointed-as the tour and staff have the upmost attention to detail and highly regarded customer service. \n\nThe tour starts at the iconic Serendipity 3, where the wait staff is attentive and the ambiance enjoyable. You are presented with a great view of the strip and generous samples of their signature frozen hot chocolate (yum!) and a menu item-today we had a Vegas style steak sandwich, You are on the tour with up to fifteen other people, and it's a great environment to meet and socialize with others who bring a unique experience to every tour. \n\nFrom there, we are introduced to a bit of history of Caesars as we venture through our various stops.\n\nStop two-Beijing Noodle #9-is fabulous complete with a handmade noodle demonstration and of course tastes to go with them. As I mentioned, we are introduced to the restaurant and it's significance by the managers, chefs, or waitstaff. It is an enlightening point of view that you wouldn't necessarily receive if you had simply gone to dine in. Particularly in this case, Beijing Noodle #9 has a rich history and art to their food and establishment that made you crave and appreciate their handcrafted food. \n\nAfter, we headed over to Payard Patisserie & Bistro. Three words: Chocolate Time Machine. Yes, in the center of it all was a huge time machine that made fresh chocolate every fifteen minutes. If I could package it to go, believe me I would. After tasting a few chocolate samples, and mouthwatering macaroons-we were given time to shop for souvenirs and ask the manager questions.\n\nNext up: Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill started with a sample of Gordon Ramsay's favorite beer which was a great follow up to the chocolates beforehand. Again, a great spiel from the GM, a look around and some delicious deviled eggs and duck.\n\nFinally, we concluded with Old Homestead Staekhouse-the best steakhouse. Who doesn't love a great Fillet Mignon and tater tots (again we're talking $59 here)!\n\nTrust me, whether you're a native to Las Vegas or a tourist looking for a great Vegas experience-this is your one stop shop. Great food, drinks, people and environment that will exceed your expectations!
