After Hash House
A GoGo I was ready to trust the internet reports for our other
breakfast in Vegas. The other place that kept showing up for
breakfast was Serendipity 3 in front of Caesars Palace. Things
didn’t start off well when we arrived to locked doors at 8:45 when
the website and the sign we just passed declared they were open at
8:00 every day. A phone call said they opened 15 minutes later so we
decided to wait in the seats on the veranda. |

If Hash House A GoGo is industrial, Serendipity 3 is whimsical. Imagine an old fashioned fountain…one that is down the rabbit hole from Alice in Wonderland. Full ice cream with a soda jerk, full bar, wacky menu, another breakfast adventure. My Mom’s cup of coffee came in a soup bowl and Steph ordered their registered trademark beverage…The Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. This thing arrived in a sundae mug with a mountain of whipped cream and chocolate curls on top. It brought happiness to the table. Oddly enough, the chocolate mixture under the cream had that textural quality of hot chocolate in addition to the icy crystals, interesting, Steph loved it. We ordered the Central Park Omelet, the Saints and Sinners French Toast Log, and the Balsamic Strawberry Cream Waffles. If there is any question that this city has devoted itself to excess, a trip to Serendipity with remove all doubt. |
Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate, Interesting, Brings Happiness to the Table |
The Beverages are Not Small |

The Place is Kinda Nutty |
Big and Yummy Central Park Omelet |
I’m not certain how may egg whites were whisked into the omelet to contain the spinach, avocado and Swiss but the thing was thick. The egg whites were just perfectly fluffy and all of the ingredients worked well. It was served with breakfast potatoes which were large cubes of well seasoned taters that had a nice kick on the backend.
The two enormous waffles were absolutely
packed with strawberries and cream and drizzled with a bit of
chocolate and a load of balsamic vinegar. The vinegar is either aged
or reduced to sweet nectar that still held a bit of acidity and was
stupendous with the berries and waffles.

The Sweet Balsamic Works Really Well With... |

Oh, Good LORD. The French Toast Log |
Berries Chocolate and Whipped Cream on the Saints End |

When I tried to order the French toast “log” I thought you had a choice of savory or sweet, I ordered the savory. Our server sort of laughed at me and walked away. What arrived at the table defies imagination. If your family ever went somewhere like Colonial Williamsburg when you were little and you saw craftspeople hand making goods, the person who made my breakfast plate was originally employed making dug-out canoes.
Inside of the boat is a single piece of French toast which is
apparently crafted from a half a loaf of bread. One each end of the
long platter are the two ends of the scale savory and sweet. To the
left there is a pile of whipped cream and fresh berries drizzled
with chocolate. The other end has bacon, two sunny side up eggs and
the same potatoes from the omelet. Butter and syrup complete this
cruise ship of breakfast. The toast was delicious, the berries
fresh, the bacon crisp…there is just no way to eat it all…but you
will eat long past simple hunger. It turns out breakfast is quite
the experience in Lost Wages Nevada. Worth getting up early even
after a late night at the tables…or if you’re on a heater stay at
the tables until they open, it is Vegas after all.
