alt.vacation.las-vegas [1] Sunday Brunch [email removed] >When my wife and I were last in LV about a year ago, we went to the >Sterling Brunch at Bally's. It was expensive - about $39/person as I >recall, but was incredible. It was truly a gourmet feast including >several chefs cooking their specialties, caviar, sushi, etc., and included >all the wine, champagne and mimosas you want. If they still have it, I >highly recommend it. Several other hotels, i.e. Caesar's Palace, the LV >Hilton and the Desert Inn, have less expensive Sunday brunches. The current price for Bally's Sterling Brunch is $49.95, and it is STILL an exceptional bargain for those with a true appreciation of fine food. Without an advance reservation, getting in is conjectural. A most enjoyable thing to do in Las Vegas USED TO BE the Saturday cooking demonstrations conducted at Bally's by the chefs who prepare the Sterling Brunch. These two-hour demonstrations/classes were held in the same steak house restaurant where the Brunch itself is staged. Attendance was limited to about 35 people, and the demonstration area was equipped with overhead mirrors like you see on TV cooking shows, so that everyone would have a good view of the preparation and cooking. At each session, three of the entrees to be served at that weekend's brunch were taught. After the demos, unlimited quantities of the prepared dishes were brought out from the kitchen and the guests had them for lunch, accompanied by anywhere from one to three wines. When this program started out, it cost $5.00 per person, but it was still a bargain at $15.00 when a Bally's senior executive canceled the program last May. The hotel's executive chef told me he was quite upset when this happened, but it was beyond his control. Several of the chefs told me they especially enjoyed the interaction with their guests at the classes. --Best wishes from David in MA Article 13644 of alt.vacation.las-vegas:
