text: Steve Wynn is a radical vegan these days so all his restaurants feature vegan options I am most definitely NOT a veganbut I like to try new stuff so a friend took me out for a little sampling one night We started with appetizers at SW steakhouse see my other review and then walked across the hall for dinner herennFoodwise the vegan menu was about the same as at SW We ordered the clam chowder which was ASTONISHINGLY like real clam chowder they use chopped oyster mushrooms to give that rubbery clam mouthfeel you know and love and I swear even the crustiest old sea dog out of Nantucket would not know the differencennFor entrees we had the crab cakes and the fried chicken which was made from this weird protein substitute called Gardein Whatever it is it is AWESOME Tastes like chicken feels like chicken looks like chickenwho knows what the hell it REALLY is knowing the capitalist kingpin proletariatgrinders who frequent the Wynn probably Soylent GreennnThe waiter actually now that I think about it it was the sommelierthe waiter was not too engaging was very attentive to our desire to try vegan stuff so he had them send us a vegan bread basket with vegan butter more soylent green It was great We also had some wine and then strayed from the vegan shtick for dessert and ordered a few fun fruity little things that were fantasticnnAtmospherewise I appreciate the fact that this restaurant is half openair on a sort of patio overlooking one of the fake lakes at the Wynn facing a giant waterfall Every minutes or so a cheesy minute show takes place on the waterfall two balls of colored light dance around cooing and making weird sex noises until a little baby ball pops out Weird Another show features two giant steampunkesque mechanical flowers that bloom and sort of flirt with each other in a creepy flowery way Another minishow is a weird avantgarde s popart extravaganza set to that lameass s song Oh Yeah by Yello YOU know the one And the last vignette or whatever the hell you want to call this weirdlameass shit is this SUPERcheesy giant frog in a UBERcorny black Stetson who sings Garth Brookss I have Got Friends in Low Places nnWTF I know Steve Wynn is a veganbut maybe he should lay off those MUSHROOMS a littleya know
