MR CHOW Opens Its 7th Location At Las Vegas' Caesars Palace
The new MR CHOW at Caesars Palace is definitely unique. Housed in the old Empress Court space, diners enter a small elevator off of the Caesars Palace casino floor and are transported to an all white dining room with a white floor, white tablecloths, and white waiter attire. It's a little sci-fi, especially when the weird kinetic chandelier/sculpture drops and inverts a blue hue over everything and everyone.
Before ordering guests are greeted with a champagne trolley offering six by the glass varieties including brands (Veuve Clicquot, $40 and Dom Perignon, $79) that usually only sell by the bottle. Another stand out feature of Mr Chow is the view. A beautiful (not all white) terrace overlooks the Garden of the Gods pool area and is perfect for pre-dinner cocktails or to enjoy dinner sans the albino décor.
Highlights of the menu include honey glazed prawns with sesame seeds and candied walnuts; original chicken satay; spare ribs; crispy duck with pancakes; sea bass with cilantro and ginger; rice noodles with squid ink; the famous green prawns; lobster shumai, and a huge variety of dumplings.
Diners can also opt for special two and three course prix-fixe menus served family style with vegetables and steamed rice. The dessert cart includes a tofu raspberry chocolate cheesecake and a sinful chocolate and gold leaf cake.
The wine list is extensive with over 85 bottle choices. Its custom cocktails are innovative and include the Chow-Lini with champagne and peach foam.
It seems appropriate that Las Vegas would offer an over the top arena for high end Chinese food, and it has arrived with MR CHOW.
