Where to Take Moms for Mother's Day in Vegas

May 6, 2010 at 7:35 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Kris Jenner, mamma to all the Kardashians, loves Vegas and we love her back. We know, it's a weird obsession to have.

Heading to Sin City with your mom this weekend? That's so Kardashian of you! But seriously, we like it when moms can party with their children in Sin City. And so does Vegas as there are plenty of mom-centric things to do this weekend. Here are the ones we think Kris will like:

1. Brunch at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon: You can't go wrong by taking mom to a restaurant helmed by the Chef of the Century, Joël Robuchon, inside the MGM Grand. While Robuchon may not be in the kitchen that day, his master chefs will be and Mom will have a front row seat to the cooking show. An added bonus? You will get a complimentary signed copy of his new cookbook “The Complete Robuchon.” (Cost: $175 per person and seatings are 11 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 1:30 p.m.)

2. Afternoon Tea at the Mandarin Oriental: Take mom up to the Mandarin Oriental's 23rd floor for some quiet tea time from 3pm to 5:30pm. Here, you can watch over the hustle and bustle below on The Strip but in a relaxed and serene setting. No slot machines, no loud music and no drunk folk tottering around. Choose from a traditional English tea menu ($40)with freshly brewed loose teas, tea pastries and finger sandwiches. Or you can try the Miniature Cupcake Bento ($40) with T Leaf teas and a selection of vanilla, red velvet, s'mores and strawberries and cream cupcakes.

Society Cafe Lets Its Hair Down With Monday Night Football

Where: 3131 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
September 21, 2009 at 1:11 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

We don't usually associate the rowdy football viewing parties with the Wynn and Encore and indeed, we wouldn't really classify the Wynn or Encore as "sports friendly" unless we're talking about placing bets inside the sportsbook. Yet for those seeking a more refined place to take in Monday Night Football, look no further than the Encore's yummy Society Cafe.

The restaurant is offering a Monday Night Football "tailgating menu" with special menu items like meatball heros, nachos, and footlong hot dogs, all starting at $12. There are also mojitos, beer and sangria specials and everything starts when the games kick-off.

Make It Spicy: The Bloody Mary Cart at Encore's Society Cafe

Where: 3131 Las Vegas Blvd. South [map], 89109

The Bloody Mary drink is a standard morning-after drink offered everywhere in Vegas. Yes, everywhere. It seems that anyone waking up in Vegas on Saturdays and Sunday can't function without it. (That and Starbucks. We prefer Starbucks first, Bloody Mary second.) So it's no surprise that the Bloody Mary has been elevated to a sort of art form in town. Since it's the first drink after a hard night out, it has to be just right.

At the Society Cafe inside Encore Las Vegas, there's a traditional Bloody Mary on the menu (The Society Bloody) and a Bloody Caesar--which is a blend of tomato and clam juice--along with bellinis and blood orange mimosas to complete your total Hair of the Dog offerings.

But since this is the splashy/flashy Wynn/Encore, or Wynncore if you prefer, there has to be more pizazz served with these offerings which is why the Society Cafe has a Bloody Mary cart rolling around to guests.
