Elevated All-Day Dining: Central Michel Richard

More often than not, we stay in the Augustus Tower at Caesars Palace. During our last trip, I was thrilled to see Central Michel Richard at the bottom of the tower.

We savored every last bit of Frosty's meringue exterior and vanilla bean ice cream interior.

This is not your usual all-day diner, and the prices reflect that. We enjoyed the food and convenience of Central Michel Richard enough to eat here twice, once with friends and once by ourselves. It's a lovely casual environment with strong classic American offerings.

These meals were comped.

  2. I really enjoyed our stay at Caesar's and hope to be back there next time we go to Vegas in pool season. I'd like to check this place out. The perfectly proportioned burgers are pretty.
