Nestled poolside at Caesar's Palace, this striking spot offers a chic ambiance for a Chinese dining experience, though flavors and portions might leave you craving more.
"With a multi-faceted and vibrant life (as detailed in the documentary, aka Mr. Chow), Michael Chow has imbued his eponymous eatery at Caesars Palace with a lifetime’s worth of artistry and unique dishes that are unmistakably his own. The glazed prawns with walnuts is a popular starter, and a Beijing duck for the table is almost mandatory here, with the tableside carving presentation approaching performance art. The green prawns (don’t let the color fool you) carry a deliciously delicate flavor but the dressed Dungeness crab, a house specialty featuring rich crabmeat deftly folded into a cloud of egg whites, is yet another delectable work of art born from the mind of a culinary genius. And although it’s an unlikely option for dessert in a gourmet Chinese restaurant, Mr Chow’s coconut cream cake is an impossibly rich, custardy version that puts other renditions of the classic dessert to shame." - Janna Karel, David Yeskel
"The noodle show inside this white, neon-tinged restaurant at Caesars Palace is hard to miss — even for diners who didn’t order the noodles. Mr Chow’s nightly noodle shows, which feature lots of spinning, pulling, and general flare, tend to draw cheers from nearby tables. Those who want to see what all the fuss is about can order the Mr Chow noodles. Originally introduced at Michael Chow’s London restaurant in 1968, the noodles are topped with slightly sweet, slightly spicy minced meat and fresh cucumbers." - Janna Karel
"When the Caesars Palace outpost of Mr. Chow opened in 2016, it was the iconic restaurant’s first foray into Sin City. As atits other locations, Mr. Chow here spotlights cuisine from Beijing, and makes presentation into a spectacle: Guests enter the restaurant through private elevators; there's a champagne cart, multiple tableside preparations, and a subdued choreography when serving certain dishes. (The famous Beijing Duck, of course, comes with lots of fanfare.) The foodis outrageously expensive, but that’s part of the allure; when you come to Mr. Chow, the memorable experience, with a side of celebrity-spotting, somehow makesup for the price."
"Mr Chow reopened at the resort with Beijing cuisine with European-style service. The menu features chicken satay, green prawns, hand-pulled Mr Chow noodles, and Beijing duck. Mr Chow is open Friday and Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m." - Susan Stapleton
"Chicago chef Lamar Moore competed on Food Network’s Vegas Chef Prizefight, cooking for Dicky Fong, director of culinary operations for Mr. Chow." - Naomi Waxman
