New Irish Pub at Green Valley Ranch offers affordable delicious food! Visit Quinn's!

Quinn’s Irish Pub now offers delicious pub fare! New menu also features palate-pleasing beer pairings

Quinn’s Irish Pub at Green Valley Ranch has launched its first pub menu, serving up lunch and dinner every day of the week. The menu boasts unique twists on hearty, traditional Irish and English pub dishes.

The focus of the menu is to offer a variety of food options at an affordable price, with all items $8 or less. Traditional dishes include Bangers and Mash and Sheppard’s Pie. The more unique items that spice up the menu include Irish Egg Rolls, featuring corned beef, sautéed cabbage and spicy brown mustard dipping sauce; and Irish Pizza Skins, made from homemade pizza dough filled with a traditional Irish potato preparation called colcannon consisting of mashed potatoes, leeks and cabbage, then topped with corned beef for added taste.

The menu also suggests beer pairings for each dish and all pints are paired and available for $3 or $4. Suggested pairings include a Smithwick’s Ale with the Sheppard’s Pie, where the malty and bitter flavor with a hint of caramel combine to provide a refreshing and clean brew, complementing the hearty stew. Another great pairing is the Scotch Eggs with the Murphy Stout, as the smooth and creamy stout with a slightly roasted flavor balances out the spiciness in the sausage and the mustard horseradish dipping sauce.

Nine different choices of whiskey are available as well with a variety of Jameson’s as well as a Red Breast Irish Whiskey, among others.

“Our guests spoke about wanting traditional Irish fare at an affordable price to accompany their beer and whiskey, and we listened,” said Marty Helfand, director of beverage. “The menu is a great sampling of traditional Irish food combined with fun twists created by Chef Beth McGee.”

Quinn’s is all about good tunes and now good food. The pub puts any pretenses aside and offers all food in casual to-go containers with plastic silverware. It’s perfect for taking a snack with you at the end of your evening or passing around the table to share with new friends and bar mates. Guests can order from the menu at the bar or from their cocktail server.

In addition to great food and drink, guests can enjoy a variety of live entertainment, including pub trivia on Tuesdays, Karate Karaoke on Wednesdays, ’Nuff Said on Fridays and Darby O’Gill and The Little People performing live Thursdays and Saturdays.

The affordable menu is available from noon to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and noon to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Hours are subject to change. For more information, please visit www.greenvalleyranchresort.com.

Mom's Eat FREE!! P.J. Clarke's Inside the Forum Shops! Caesars Palace..

P.J. Clarkes Loves Mother’s Day! Show Your Mom That You Love Her!

All Mom’s Eat Free at P.J. Clarke’s Inside the Forum Shop Eat FREE! On Mother’s Day – Sunday May 8th

Known for being the home of the “Cadillac of Burgers,” On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8th, P.J. Clarke’s will be known as the home to the “Cadillac of all Mother’s Day Offers”

This Mother’s Day show mom you truly appreciate her by treating her to an authentic P.J. Clarke’s home-style meal – for free.  Well known as a welcoming neighborhood joint where real bartenders serve real drinks and where the good honest food is legendary, P.J. Clarke’s wants to pick up the tab for mom this Mother’s Day.  Bring mom to P.J. Clarke’s inside The Forum Shops at Caesars on Sunday, May 8th only, between 11:00 a.m. and closing, and she can order anything on the menu up to $35 with the purchase of at least $35 in other food and beverage.

“Mom’s done so much for you, here’s your chance to show her you care,” said Phil Scotti, P.J. Clarke’s owner.  “This ain’t your fancy Mother’s Day brunch. It’s a real meal – a home-cooked meal made from scratch. Even better, mom doesn’t have to do the dishes. P.J.  Clarke’s has been around for over 100 years in New York, but we want to create new traditions in Las Vegas, and what better way to kick it off then with making mom feel special.”

P.J. Clarke’s can be found adjacent to the distinctive spiral escalator on Level One of the Forum Shops with entry from Las Vegas Blvd. and via The Forum Shops' multiple entrances.  With a 128-year East Coast history, and long list of legendary “regulars" like Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly, and Jackie Onassis, P.J. Clarke’s is a hassle-free place where everyone is treated like old pals.  When you come to P.J. Clarke’s expect juicy burgers, savory chicken pot pies, slow-braised pot roast and flavorful prime steaks.

P.J. Clarke’s serves only natural Angus Beef from Bob Meyers Ranch in Montana’s Blackfoot River Valley.  One bite into their burger (which has already been named one of the Top 7 Burgers in Las Vegas by Seven Magazine), and it’s easy to understand how something so simple can be so appreciated.  Signature items that are sure to also quickly become Las Vegas classics include: Patrick Joseph Clarke’s fully loaded chili, baked macaroni and cheese with peas and bacon, the timeless Waldorf salad, and finally, the P.J.’s Seafood Extravaganza. 

While known for their classic American comfort food, using the finest ingredients and sourcing the best beef in the country, P.J. Clarke’s also offers its classic take on fish and chips, Maine lobster rolls, Maryland jumbo lump crab cakes and crisp Monterey calamari – Rhode Island-style tossed with hot peppers.  Another P.J. Clarke’s staple is its Raw Bar.  Stocked, chilled and ready to go when the doors open, the 18 foot-long bar features nothing but the freshest shrimp, lobster, oysters, littlenecks and cherrystones on the half shell.

The restaurant features 12,000 square feet, seating 323 people in the main dining room and 25 at the main bar.  For intimate dining and special events, a private dining room known as the Sidecar, complete with industrial décor with factory-style accents, is available and sectioned off from the main dining room by French doors and vintage-style shades.  The private dining room holds up to 180 people.

In addition to three New York locations, there are additional P.J. Clarke’s in Washington, D.C. and São Paolo.

Giant Chocolate Space Bunnies INVADE!! At the Bellagio Las Vegas!

Renowned Pastry Chef Jean-Philippe Maury Showcases Otherworldly Skills with Debut of Giant “Space Bunnies” at Bellagio’s Jean Philippe Pâtisserie

 World renowned pastry chef Jean-Philippe Maury has raised the bar once again with the debut of larger-than life Space Bunnies at Bellagio’s Jean Philippe Pâtisserie, on display through Easter.

Sitting in a chocolate spaceship measuring eight feet in circumference, two Space Bunnies are dressed in edible flight suits and ready to operate flight controls that will take them to a dimension of the chocolate kind. Made from the finest Swiss chocolate, the only non-edible ingredients are working blinking lights that adorn the spacecraft. The out-of-this-world creation took Jean-Philippe and his team a month to complete.

Complementing his incredible Easter display, Jean-Philippe also is unveiling more than 45 Easter creations at Jean Philippe Pâtisserie in both ARIA Resort & Casino and Bellagio, including:

·         Available in boy or girl versions, Jean-Philippe’s Bunny Cakes are a unique way to decorate the table while satisfying a sweet tooth. The boy is chocolate and the girl is fruitcake; they are available April 17 – April 24.

·         Don’t forget about the sports fans. The Chocolate Basketball Bunny and his white chocolate ball are a slam dunk for Easter baskets. A Sports Bunny is also available for loved ones who cheer for multiple teams.

·         It’s not all about the Easter Bunny this year; Jean-Philippe also has created a hand-shaped Chocolate Monkey and even a Hippopotamus.  These hand-molded chocolates are the perfect gift for any unique Easter basket.

Jean Philippe Pâtisserie has locations at Bellagio and ARIA Resort & Casino. They offer French delicacies including crepes, pastries, chocolate and gelato, in addition to a wide variety of retail selections and custom cakes. For more information, visit www.JPchocolates.com.
