In continuing with our lazy theme for the day, after we cleaned up from the pool, we took the short walk to MGM Grand for dinner, not even bothering to venture outside. Josh suggested going to Fiamma, an Italian restaurant that he\u2019s been to several times since he\u2019s been out here and one of his favorites. He knew that after my disappointment with Fleur de Lys, I would want something good to cheer me up. Fortunately, Fiamma did not disappoint.<\/p>\n
As soon as we walked into the restaurant, we passed the sommelier who remembered Josh from a previous visit. After we were seated and were looking through the menus, the sommelier came right over to our table and asked if we needed any recommendations. We told him what kind of wine we like (red, bold, spicy), what our budget was, and he immediately set off in search of something appropriate.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, we placed our dinner order with our friendly waitress, and broke into the loaf of bread a runner had set on our table. It was a large round loaf with a soft crust and a dense and chewy interior. It didn\u2019t have much flavor, but the accompanying scoop of butter turned out to be sweet truffle butter, which paired well with the bread.<\/p>\n
