HAIL CAESAR: COUNTING CARBS and CALORIES AT CAFÉ LAGO IN CAESARS PALACE HOTEL IN LAS VEGAS.

It may seem odd, but we had a hard time finding fresh American food in Las Vegas. This being America in all I figured it would be easy, but I was wrong. Let’s just say that the Baked Potato is so un- hip that no one makes them anymore. So we tried the MGM Grand seafood restaurant SeaBlue and were not impressed, so we headed over to Caesars Palace and found that true American classics like turkey, lamb, prime rib, mashed potatoes, vegetables, lobster bisque soup, shrimp, stone crab etc. were in abundance. For a mere $22 you can eat like the sun won’t shine again. Dessert, soft drinks and ice cream are part of the package, so I deem this un-hip hangout a real find for us down home American folks who still like the food of our forefathers. Sometimes it seems like exotic food from distant lands is as hip as an urban record label. As for me, I’ll take mashed potatoes.

Café Lago also serves breakfast, lunch buffets as well as an a la carte menu.

Caesars Palace Café Lago also has live piano music.
