PALACE COURT RESTAURANT
The award-winning Palace Court at Caesars
Palace boasts a reputation of being one of the most elegant gourmet restaurants in
America.
Housed in a mini-museum setting filled
with art treasures of the past, the Palace Court is designed to provide haute cuisine and
meticulous service in the atmosphere of a private courtyard.
A la carte selections of contemporary
French haute cuisine offer many sumptuous combinations of hors d'oeuvres, soups, salads,
entrees and desserts.
Escalope de Foie Gras aux Navets Confits
et Glace Vieux Porto (pan-seared duck liver and confit turnips, served with aged port wine
sauce), Carre d' Agneau Roti aux Flageolets Fumes et Fromage de Chevre Frais, Emulsion de
Jus d' Artichaud (roasted rack of lamb, served with smoked flageolet beans, fresh goat
cheese, and baby artichokes in an emulsion of artichoke and lamb juices) and the perfect
Dover Sole are just a few tantalizing choices. The menu changes seasonally.
An extensive wine list, prepared by
Master Sommelier Barbara Werley, provides a superb selection from the award-winning
Caesars Palace wine cellar.
From delicate hors d'oeuvres to famous
dessert souffles and sliced fresh fruits dipped in white chocolate, all is prepared for
"le plaisir de la table" by a team of expert chefs, led by Chef de Cuisine
Laurent Tourondel, a James Beard Foundation honoree. "Cafes et digestifs" offer
a relaxing epilogue to the dining experience.
Located on the second floor, the
restaurant is accessible via a dedicated elevator to the Palace Court Lounge. The lounge,
which features nightly musical performances of fine pianists, is a popular retreat for
guests who enjoy quiet conversation under its retracting, barrel-vaulted, stained-glass
ceiling. A giant, domed, stained-glass ceiling (which does not retract) measuring 36 feet
in diameter, crowns the dining area.
Decorated in shades of terra cotta, Roman
tan and Grecian pink, the Palace Court restaurant is framed in balloon drapes along a
two-story, circular glass wall. On the opposite wall is a 45-by-20-foot mural,
commissioned from Grosh Scenic Studios of Hollywood, Calif. The hand-painted "Le
Manoir du Chapeau" (cq) garden and courtyard is a classic countryside scene of the
French province Bourbonnais.
Tables are adorned with Frette Egyptian
cotton linen, imported from Italy. Settings of Limoges porcelain, St. Hilaire Louis XV
silver, and Spiegelau crystal are perfectly prepared by attentive personnel.
A gallery of art treasures throughout the
Palace Court Restaurant, Lounge and the nearby Palace Court Casino, sculpted upholstery
and lush green plantings, thriving in the area's romantically filtered light, help to give
the Palace Court its luxurious Gallic atmosphere.
The Palace Court is open for dinner only.
Reservations are suggested. Phone 702/731-7731. Gentlemen are required to wear jackets.
