Bon appetit!

New to Caesars Palace and just off the Augustus Tower lobby is Central, offering comfort food with a French twist, courtesy of chef Michel Richard. The missus and I tried it out the other night and can recommend the signature cocktails, “faux gras” and the hanger steak (with Syrah sauce), among other delicacies. Entrées top out around $32 but there are plenty of lower-priced options and it’s fine dining that wouldn’t require taking out a second mortgage.
