Finally, a Rave

I started this blog today, already posted 3 blogs, and all of them have been rants. I must sound like the crankiest person ever. I do like things - I promise!

Case in point. I went to the new Sunday brunch at Simon at Palms Place this past Sunday. I don't even know if there's a word in the dictionary to describe how freaking good this was! I've always liked Kerry Simon's food - he's so creative and fun with his dishes. And Sunday brunch was no exception. First off, all of the waiters were wearing their pajamas. How fun is that?!? I was a little confused by the "pajamas" of some of the hostesses though. The girls were super cute, but were wearing men's dress shirts and ties with high heels. Hmm ... It was like a slutty form of Tom Cruise in "Risky Business." Also, the female bartenders were wearing slutty nurses outfits. Where do these people buy their pajamas? I've stopped wondering about stuff like this, though. This is Vegas after all. 

Anyway, the brunch has both buffet-style stations and a menu you can order from. But don't let the stations confuse you - this ain't your grandma's Vegas buffet. There were made-to-order smoothies, fruit and granola parfaits, sushi, miso soup, shrimp and sandwiches. Then off the menu we ordered little pieces of heaven called pigs and a blanket, and then each of us ordered our own dish for breakfast. I got an egg white omelet, which was dumb. If I was already eating all the rest of the crap in front of me, what's the point in trying to eat healthy? You might as well just make the whole meal an artery clogger and try to work it off later. Anyway, my friend Diana got the most amazing French Toast I've ever tried. It was encrusted with ... wait for it ... FROSTED FLAKES! Like I said, way to go Kerry Simon. 

The meal ended with a dessert platter. I know what you are thinking. After stuffing your face with all of the above, how can you even think about dessert? Well, if you saw this platter, you wouldn't dream of passing it up either! Plus, the whole buffet has a flat fee of $38 per person, so you might as well get everything that comes with it. Dessert made me feel like I was a kid again ... it had everything from brownies to chocolate chip cookies to COTTON CANDY! Yes, that's right. A big old bowl of pink cotton candy.

I would like to point out that today is Tuesday and I am STILL full from Sunday's brunch. It was worth every penny. And every calorie.
