  Like most hotel restaurants in Las Vegas, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill is located steps away from the casino floor so players don't need to travel too far to find decent food.  Painted in a white theme with hard wooden chairs, Wolfgang Puck is a no non-sense quick lunch location serving a mix of italian pastas and bar food.

  

  Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, Onions and Oregano Pizza:

  

  A small pizza of 8 slices.  There is a reasonable number of sausage slices, very little to no onions, and mushrooms are what's visible.  Underneath is little to no tomato sauce.  The pizza dough is tough and chewy.  It was probably baked in a conventional oven.  The whole pizza is priced at $13 USD.

  Lemon-Chili Glazed Chicken Wings with Parsley:

  

  Unlike buffalo wings, these aren't fried.  Chickens were moist and reasonably sized.  The sweet glaze reminded me of home cooked wings with honey glaze.  Having 9 wings priced at $13 USD is a bit steep.

  Ricotta Gnocchi with Sweet Fennel Sausage Bolognese:

  

  The gnocchi is like stuffed pasta cylinders.  It's basically beefy tomato sauce in stuffed pasta.  The dish is relatively flavorless so I had to use a lot of crushed pepper to spice it up.  At $22 USD, this dish isn't worth its price.

  Everything is fairly flavorless from the dishes we ordered.  If this is the quality I'm suppose to expect from Wolfgang Puck, I have no idea why he became famous.  Service is slow and unattentive - it took 10 minutes just to get the crushed pepper.  Prices are high for every plate.  I wouldn't recommend coming here.
