While driving on Las Vegas Blvd, I saw Serendipity 3 and screamed out "SERENDIPITY!"  Dr. P was like "what's that?"  I said, "What?  You don't know Serendipity?  How can you not know Serendipity?  Oh well, I guess you're not a girl so you wouldn't know."  haha....  I went to Serendipity 3 with my sister when we visited New York.  See, I didn't have the habit of taking food pictures back then, and just can't remember what we ate.  I just remember we each ordered something and the portion was huge.  But I do remember it was really really good.



Our original plan was to have lunch at our hotel, check out, and head to the outlet before going http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  But sweet Dr. P said, "why don't we go to Serendipity for dessert before leaving Las Vegas?"  He totally read my mind!  Serendipity is right in front of Ceasar Palace.  We parked in their garage, and walked to the dessert shop through Ceasar Palace's beautiful fountain garden.




There's a little shopping area when walking in the door.  The hostess told us the wait was about 40 minutes.  For delicious dessert, I can wait!



While waiting, we looked through the menu.  We spotted this $1,000.00 dessert called Golden Opulence Sundaes.  Seriously?



Seriously!  I googled and found a picture of the most expensive dessert in the world.  Who, I really want to know who, would order this dessert?

From Wikipedia: This ice cream dessert is made using five scoops of ice cream made from single source ingredients, including vanilla beans from Tahiti, vanilla from Madagascar, and Chuao chocolate from Venezuela.  The chocolate syrup that is used is from melted Amedei Porcelana, one of the world's most expensive chocolate.  The sundae is then adorned in "candied fruits, gold covered almonds, chocolate truffles and marzipan cherries."  It is then topped with edible 23-carat gold leaf and sprinkled in tiny flakes of gold.  Edible gold leaf is made from pure gold that is compressed or rolled into very thin sheets only a few microns in thickness and containing no other metals or impurities.  Finally, floral decorations made with sugar paste that can take up to 18 hours to construct are placed onto the sundae.  The dessert is served in a Baccarat crystal goblet that the customer may keep.   The dessert is eaten with use of a provided 18-carat golden spoon.  Served with it is a side of fine grand passion caviar with a mother of pearl spoon.



While dreaming about having the $1,000 ice cream, I was brought back to reality when our buzzer went off.  Yeah, we finally got a table after 40 minutes wait.


Serendipity 3 Chopped Chicken Salad ($16.00)
Chopped greens, grilled chicken, cucumber, baby tomatoes, sweet corn, hearts of palm, ranch.

At first we only wanted to come here for dessert.  But we waited for that long, might as well get our waiting time worth by ordering more food.  That's logical thinking right?  haha....  We were still quite full from the sandwich we had earlier, and decided to go with salad.  Serendipity 3 Chopped Chicken Salad is made with lettuce, chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, corn, and hearts of palm.  It was such a good salad.  Even though I was full, I couldn't stop eating it.  The thin long red sticks were not carrot (Dr. P actually thought those were carrot sticks haha dumbo).  They were crispy bread sticks.  I love this salad.  Maybe I can try to make my own at http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.


Strawberry Fields Sundae ($14.00)
Strawberry cheese cake, strawberry ice cream, strawberry sauce, topped with whipped cream.

I am still jumping up and down with excitement when I see this picture of Strawberry Fields Sundae.  On the bottom there were strawberry ice cream, then lots of strawberry sauce with big big strawberries, then a layer of creamy strawberry cheese cake, then hand whipped cream with more strawberry sauce.  Mmmmmmmmm....  If there is a place call heaven, this would be what I'll eat everyday there.  As much as I love the sundae, I just couldn't finish it.  Dr. P tried to help as much as he could, but this thing is just too big.  I wish some smart scientist can invent ice cream that will never melt so I can take this sundae for to go.


Caffe ($4.00)

Dr. P ordered a cup of Caffe to get ready for the drive http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  The coffee was strong and good.



Too much sugar high, we started acting silly.  Dr. P wanted to take pictures of me, and....
(1) No picture!  I didn't wear makeup today.
(2) Stop! No makeup = no eyebrows.  Fine, I'll make eyebrows with my fingers.
(3) Dr. P:  You look like a dork with finger eyebrows.
(4) You wanna see dork?  Here's a dork!



Dr. P's pictures are even sillier....
(1)  Look at my fake smile.
(2)  Look at my real smile.
(3)  Here is a sad dork.
(4)  Now I am a really sad dork.
(5)  I am so excited because I just had too much ice cream.
(6)  Yeah~~~ I am a tourist in Las Vegas.
(7)  Yeah~~~ I am an excited tourist in Las Vegas.
(8)  Yeah~~~ I am the biggest dork in the world!!!!



I was so glad Dr. P suggested us to stop by at Serendipity3.  I love the food and the dessert here.  I think they need to open one in Los Angeles!



As we were leaving, I then saw they had a to-go window at the back of the building.



They also have a outdoor seating area for the to-go customers.

I love Serendipity 3.  Definitely will come back again when visiting Las Vegas, or New York!
