CLOCKWISE FROM HERE: Peking duck carved tableside at Mr. Chow's; the new restaurant's stately exterior at Caesars; Vegas chef Kam Kwen Chee; the restaurant's centerpiece, The Moon. noodle-pulling show. All the classics are here, from the otherworldly green prawns (immortalized in a portrait by famous Chow diner Keith Haring) and Ma Mignon (a crispy crusted filet mignon) to the famous dessert selection— Grand Marnier-marinated oranges, coconut cake, an endless display of colorful delights—wheeled out on a custom-made Christofle trolley cart. The Vegas centerpiece is a one-of-a-kind kinetic sculpture, The Moon, designed by Chow and made of snowy white fiberglass (inside it's Yves Klein Blue) and suspended from the soaring dome overhead. Every new restaurant has its unique Mr. Chow style, Chow explains, "but in this particular case, we have a 60-foot-diameter dome, that has given us this incredible opportunity to do something great," he enthuses. "The sculpture, 26 feet in diameter, dances throughout the evening, every 20 minutes." Mr. Chow's Las Vegas restaurant beautifully accomplishes what it has always done in cities like Miami and New York: Among all the teams of captains and servers in their balletic presentations of dish after colorful dish, the endless gleaming accessories and design elements, and now even a kinetic sculpture to watch, it's the diners who feel just a bit more attractive. And isn't that the point of going out in this town? Caesars Palace; 702-731-7888; caesars.com . VEGASMAGAZINE.COM 51
