Restaurant Review - Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill in Las Vegas, NV

The best meal I ever had was at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill in Las Vegas, NV. The reason I ended up here for dinner was due to having purchased a Caesar’s Palace Dinner Theatre combo package, which included either an early or late dinner seating at one of five Caesar’s Palace restaurants, plus tickets to Bette Midler’s The Showgirl Must Go On (I wasn’t really crazy about most of her radio songs before this, but I left the show a total fan). Shortly after being seated at the best table in the house we were presented with a complimentary Bette Midler show program and we were given a special Chef’s Table Three-Course Menu to order from, that was only available to our table. The theme was corn. The Best. Corn. Ever.

In this case, the pictures say a thousand words more than I ever could about how incredibly DELICIOUS everything was, but I will say one thing; the things that Bobby Flay did with a simple side dish of corn…are probably only legal in Las Vegas. For me, the only thing crazier than going all the way to Vegas for a side-dish of corn at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill, is NOT going all the way to Vegas for a side-dish of corn at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill. The Best. Corn. Ever.
