Oh my gosh, I'm having so much fun on Instagram...haha! XD
Here's a recap (only with more details and pics!):
We got into town pretty early at a little before 11am to grab lunch at Gordon Ramsay's BurGR (get it? ;) inside the Planet Hollywood casino.
I had read that a line forms everyday before their 11am opening time.
And...it's true.
o.O
You usually only see this at buffets.

Fun menus!
What we ordered:
Chanterelle Burger:
chanterelle mushrooms, arugula, figgy-onion jam
Euro Burger:
truffle aioli, goat cheese, arugula, oven roasted tomato
Beer Battered Maui Onion Rings:
parmigiano-reggiano, chipotle ketchup, cheddar ranch dip
All burgers are on Brioche buns (my fave!) which are also made in house.
For dessert:
Sticky Toffee Pudding Push Up Pops with salted peanut ice cream (comes in 2).
Our verdict?
Burgers were absolutely juicy and full of flavor and the onion rings were done right.
That cheddar ranch dip was soo good but made things taste soo heavy after a while...lol.
As for the sticky toffee pops, we don't recommend getting them.
It was more ice cream than cake and just wasn't as good as the warm, traditional version we had at Gordon Ramsay's other restaurant Gordon Ramsay Steak which I blogged about here.

I was really excited to check into our hotel because we were staying at the new Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace which had its grand opening last month.
It's the world's first Nobu Hotel!
(Nobu Matsuhisa is a famous Japanese chef and the man behind the Nobu restaurants)
It's a boutique hotel within a hotel (similar to how the Four Seasons in Las Vegas is within Mandalay Bay) and has its own entrance.
I didn't get a shot of the desk inside the lobby (due to the small space) but it only had room for 2 hosts!
We were lucky though as they had a host stationed right outside who checked us in via her iPad.
I really appreciate the extra touches Nobu Hotel gives its visitors and you'll see why.
The first thing our host did was show us how to use our key to open the elevator doors (kudos to the added security btw).
Here's a pic of the hubs opening the elevator door for us to take down to the lobby from our hotel floor.
You place your room key underneath, wait for the light to turn green, and then press your desired floor.
No floor buttons inside the elevator because well, you don't need them!

She then walked us to our hotel room where she told us about the amenities.
A short while later, this was brought to our room:
A welcome tray!
We had iced green tea lemonade with rice crackers made in Nobu's hometown of Saitama-Prefecture.
The hotel room follows a Japanese minimalist aesthetic...
...with some lovely touches
