NobHill Tavern - Las Vegas, NV

French Onion Soup, deconstructed!  Just when I thought I’d seen everything!  The menu is a bit ambiguous, simply saying: “Classic French Onion Soup, Gruyère Grilled Cheese.  I was never expecting to see an actual grilled cheese sandwich alongside the soup.  I wasn’t positive of the proper procedure, so I asked our server, who confirmed that I was to dip the grilled cheese sandwich into the soup.  It was different, but good.  Since I’m not one of those who normally likes to eat the bread along with the cheese in F.O.S., it was a bit disappointing that I couldn’t get around it this time.  As I’ve said before in this blog, “….the bread is just there to hold up the cheese.”  However, I will not take that into account for this soup.  The broth was possibly the best I’ve ever had.

Cafe Caribe - Las Vegas, NV

Located in the Mirage hotel, Cafe Caribe is the main restaurant/coffee shop.  The onion soup seemed to contain provolone, with perhaps some swiss mixed in.  The broth was pretty good.

Bellagio Room Service - Las Vegas, NV

Usually, room service in a hotel would not be a different review than the restaurant from which the food comes.  However, the Bellagio’s room service has their own kitchen, and their own recipes.  Actually, the room service soup is better than the soup reviewed 1 year and 364 days earlier at Cafe Bellagio.  More care was taken to season the plentiful cheese, and the soup was sweet and excellent.
