Serendipity 3 at the Caesars Palace

I have always wanted to go have some ice cream at Serendipity in New York. It has been there since 1954 and have been visited by numerous VIP's like Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy, Cher, Tom Cruise and yes even Oprah.



Since I haven't been to New York lately, the next best thing was to visit Serendipity 3 in Las Vegas.  Three of us got there at around 10:00 a.m. for breakfast.  We ordered 3 entrees to share: Fried Chicken with Waffles which came with 1/2 a chicken that was plump and juicy. Unfortunately, the waffle part was not as good but when drowned by the maple syrup, it became edible. The honey mustard was a good dip for the chicken.
The Chorizo Quiche with roasted red peppers, potatoes, caramelized onions and queso fresco was a big disappointment. The 3 of us had one bite each and didn't touch the remainder. When our server came to ask if everything was o.k. , we told her about our displeasure and all she did was apologize. She didn't offer to get something in exchange. Oh, well....there goes a big chunk of her tip. The Frozen Hot Chocolate French Toast was triple stacked w/ strawberries, topped with pistachio nuts and chocolate sauce. It was good but I couldn't really get excited over it.




What made the trip to Serendipity worth it was the Double Frrrozen Hot Chocolate (double ,..as Sandi and I shared it). This had 20 different kinds of chocolate in an icy rich cocoa flavor topped with whipped cream. They did get carried away with the whipped cream. The chocolate drink was a bit bitter and gritty and we just loved, loved, loved it.


Serendipity 3 is a fun place to visit. Kids would love it as the decor is funky and has a very relaxed atmosphere. Don't leave without trying the Frozen Hot Chocolate Drink. You'll be glad you did.
