This past weekend some friends and I stayed at The (Venice inspired) Venetian in Las Vegas! Similar to previous visits, one of the most memorable aspects of Vegas to me, is the food. Instead of trying to mimic one of The Venetian's fabulous Italian dishes, I would like to focus on a smaller plate, in a bigger place (with big taste!) - cheesecake at Caesar's Palace.Dinner at Caesar's The Cheesecake Factory was a spectacle from beginning, with an incredible 200 item menu, to end. With portions so large they could be shared by two, it was still a must to save room for one of their more than 40 flavours of cheesecake. The cheesecake of course, shared by one.
After contemplating between my top three cheesecake choices, which I was 
finally able to narrow down to a white chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake, a Kahlua cocoa coffee cheesecake, and a tiramisu cheesecake, I opted for the tiramisu. Now you are probably wondering why I settled for a traditional tiramisu flavour, however, I was convinced on the tiramisu cheesecake when I discovered it was not just tiramisu flavoured cheesecake, but a deliciously flavoured cheesecake layered on an actual tiramisu cake bottom. Literally combining tiramisu with cheesecake. Oh God.

Oh God.Along with this fantastic idea, I am going to give you my very simple, yet delicious, cheesecake recipe, which you can try pairing with any of your own dessert foundations, whether it be a tiramisu base, brownie base, cookie base, and the possibilities are endless.
The Recipe
Ingredients:
3 8oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
Mix cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed. Once blended, and there are no clumps, add your eggs mixing on low speed. Pour over your choice of crust, and bake until centre is almost set.
One thing worth placing my bets on in Vegas?
You can bet I cashed in this idea, and took it home,

My favorite is their vanilla bean cheesecake. I know, such a simple flavor with so many to choose from - but it is so delicious!!
