We finally did it.
We ordered — and ate—the sautéed grasshoppers (chapulines in Spanish, since they come from certain areas of Mexico) at El Dorado Cantina. That’s what we’re about here, folks. We do it, so you don’t have to.

La Popular is a one brand from Grupo Carolo, among Mexico’s most recognized and extensive restaurant groups. The original restaurant is a favorite in Mexico City; the first U.S. venue opened in Roseville, California, in 2022. Since then, two more have opened in California, one in Austin, Texas, and most recently at the Palms.
Spiegelworld is a good name for the Las Vegas-based live-entertainment production company: It’s definitely a world unto itself.
Producers of Absinthe at Caesars Palace, OPM at the Cosmopolitan, and Atomic Saloon Show at Palazzo, Spiegelworld also owns the entire town Nipton, California, 60 miles from Vegas, which it’s in the process of turning into a “circus settlement.” In addition, Spiegelworld operates Superfrico, the “psychedelic Italian” restaurant at Cosmo, and recently-ish opened No Pants at Caesars Palace.

Au contraire! We didn’t have to wait even 20 seconds. We just walked right up to the cashier, paid, and had plate in hand within a minute.
