2025 Mother's Day Menu and Prices for Brunch at "The Kitchen"

Mother's Day is just around the corner and if you haven't made brunch plans yet, there may still be a couple tables open over at the Hard Rock Hotel's "The Kitchen".

The Kitchen is a casual eatery with a kitschy "American diner" vibe. Normally, The Kitchen serves an "à la carte" menu, (where you order off a menu and a server brings the food to your table) — but Mother's Day  Brunch is going to be served buffet style — so that will be a special twist... and there's going to be family-friendly live music!

So... will there be free mimosa cocktails this year? Well — we can't figure that one out with enough assurance to post anything one way or another.  In one spot, it reads "Adult purchase includes Bloody Mary and mimosa cocktails adults (ages 21+) only with valid ID." — and then at the bottom it reads "Alcoholic beverages available for purchase to adults (ages 21+) only with valid ID." — so we think that means at least one Bloody Mary or mimosa cocktail is included with and adult ticket... but don't quote us on that.
