I am putting together a Las Vegas with Kids<\/a> webpage, containing all my reviews for Las Vegas.\u00a0 Some of those reviews never made it to my blog, so I\u2019m adding them now.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

You can get great food on the Las Vegas strip, and you can get cheap food at the myriad of food courts, but finding tasty, affordable food is very hard.\u00a0 That’s probably why the Cheesecake Factory<\/strong> has actually become one of our favorite places to eat in Las Vegas.\u00a0 The food is tasty, the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable.\u00a0 Plus they have cheesecake! We now make it a point of shopping at the forum shops, watching the Fall of Atlantis show and then having dinner at the Cheesecake Factory every year.<\/p>\n

I’ve been quite happy with pretty much everything I’ve eaten there.\u00a0 Last visit I had their Pasta Da Vinci ($17), penne in a Madeira sauce with chicken, mushrooms and onions.\u00a0 It was as good as it sounds.\u00a0 Another year I had their spaghetti & meatballs ($15) and it was as good as you can expect.\u00a0 They no longer seem to carry the Monterey burger ($12) I had another year. It came with cheese, onions, arugula and avocado. It was cooked to order medium rare, but it was drier than I would have liked it.\u00a0 Still, the accompanying sweet potato fries were phenomenal.<\/p>\n

The Cheesecake Factory has a well-priced children’s menu. Last time, my youngest daughter enjoyed the pasta with marinara sauce.\u00a0 In a previous visit, my oldest had the pasta alfredo ($7) but was disappointed by the lack of flavor.\u00a0 My youngest had the kids cheese pizza ($6), which was the size of a regular dinner plate – basically, adult size. The pizza tasted like an Italian pizza margherita rather than your typical American cheese pizza, so she didn’t like it. I, however, did.<\/p>\n

Portions at the Cheesecake Factory are usually large, so we get to enjoy leftovers when we stay at hotels with kitchenettes.<\/p>\n

Of course, one of the main reasons to go to the Cheesecake Factory is the cheesecake.\u00a0 Slices are large enough to share and $8-$9.\u00a0\u00a0 I prefer the plain cheesecake, but the Dulde de Leche cheesecake we had once was pretty good.\u00a0 The Adam’s Peanut Butter fudge cheesecake, however, was too sweet.\u00a0 My youngest had the kids hot fudge sundae once ($2!). It was a large enough portion that she couldn’t finish it.<\/p>\n

There is usually a long wait when we go to have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, but you can pass the time shopping or watching the show.\u00a0 Service has been mixed.\u00a0 The first time we went, we barely saw our waiter.\u00a0 The second, service was great, even though we were in the second floor.<\/p>\n
