I dug deep into the pre-blog picture archives and found pictures from a crazy girls’ weekend in Vegas. Let’s just say that my hopes of running for any political office just went down the drain. On the upside, there are also some pictures of food!

One of my favorite places to have brunch in Las Vegas is the Country Club at the Wynn. It’s nestled in the back of the Wynn, past the buffet. The 2-3 times that I’ve been, there was never a wait. People just never make it past the buffet. I love the food and decor here. Something about plaid and dark wood trim makes me very hungry.

I started out with the honeydew smoothie which was very refreshing and helped to clear my palate.

I guess the girls and I were feeling eggy that morning because we ordered regular omelette (I don’t remember what was inside.) and a scramble with slices of thick bacon.

My favorite dish of the bunch was the corn chowder. The chowder actually came in a metal coffee carafe sort of thing and was poured onto the soup bowl then garnished at the table. It had a slightly smoky flavor and not too thick. The corn niblets were still crunchy which I liked because I hate overcooked corn even if it’s in a chowder. Unfortunately, the Country Club does not have this item on their menu anymore. What, golfers don’t need corn chowder in their diet? Sadness.

I’m usually a eggs and waffle type brunch person but we were in Vegas after all so I felt adventurous and ordered some shrimp cocktail. It was fresh but I could have done without it.

For people who like a heartier meal in the morning or need to cure that awesome hangover from the night before, they also have meaty options. On another trip to Las Vegas, this time with to-be-Hubs, we had  burgers and sausages.

I’m a sucker for presentation and little details. Spot the pretzel breadsticks under the sausages! I believe their sausages are a specialty at the Country Club. They were tasty but what I really enjoyed was the 3 types of mustard that came along.

I recommend sitting out in the veranda if possible as you get a gorgeous view of the 18th hole and waterfall.

This restaurant is a must go in Vegas.I know it’s almost impossible but next time anyone is in Vegas,  try try try and resist the urge to buffet and give Country Club a try. The setting and food is fresh breath of air in Sin City.
