Celebrity Chef Bobby Flay brings his passion for bold and innovative Southwestern flair to Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace, the Las Vegas outpost of his acclaimed New York flagship restaurant. Open for lunch and dinner, and designed by renowned restaurant designer, David Rockwell, the open space features rich and vibrant colors and textures that are reminiscent of the American Southwest. A dramatic 20-foot tall rotisserie sits atop the restaurant and provides diners with the tantalizing smell of perfectly roasted meat and poultry.

Chef Flay developed his signature style of cuisine by marrying the flavors of southwest with his love of grilling. On his menu at Caesars Palace, he presents tongue-tingling dishes like New Mexican Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin, Ancho Chile Rubbed Chicken and Mango and Spice Crusted Tuna.

Las Vegas' proximity to Mexico gives the restaurant access to some of that country's highest-quality tequila and mezcal offerings, and the expansive wine list has a global reach yet maintains an emphasis on top American wines. A cocktail menu features signature drinks such as the Black Widow Mojito with Montecristo 12-year aged Guatemalan Rum, Grenadine, Fresh Mint, Cola and Fresh-Squeezed Lime or a Gimme’ a Lemonade – a refreshing mix of Charbay Green Tea Vodka and Lemonade. Of course, the restaurant also proudly features the perfectly mixed Mesa Grill Margarita, a drink that will never go out of season.

Looking for a gift? Then pick up a bottle of the recently released Mesa Grill signature 2006 Syrah. Tantara Winery and Mesa Grill bring you this blend of Syrah grapes from two acclaimed California vineyards, Bien Nacido in Santa Barbara County and Garys’ in Monterey County. With fresh aromas of crushed blackberry, blueberry and mint, the wine is seamless across the palate with deep fruit flavors and soft tannins. Combine this great tasting wine with one of Chef Flay’s last two cookbooks for only $95 (excludes tax) and create a great gift for that special foodie in your life.
