| - It was our first night in Vegas, and we had decided on a restaurant in Caesar's for dinner. Unfortunately, we forgot to make a reservation and the wait was too long for us to go there and the concert we wanted to see that night. So my boyfriend and I consulted Yelp and OpenTable and discovered that Spago was supposed to be tasty AND had seating available immediately. We scurried over to the Forum Shops.
We were seated quickly, but our waiter decided to ignore us initially. The manager came by and started to take our wine order when the waiter finally decided to come by. Our service was just fine after that, so props to the manager.
After checking out the menu, we decided on two different pizzas: the lamb chorizo and the Greek. We chose the former because everyone seems to rave about it in their reviews, and the latter because, well, I heart Greek-style pizzas like nobody's business. We chose a tasty glass of albarino to go with our meal.
The pizzas were great, especially for the price (yeah, $15 for a pizza, but it's Vegas!). Honestly, we could have shared one and been plenty full, but it was nice to be able to taste both types. The lamb chorizo was hearty, meaty, and delicious, but the Greek pizza was my favorite. So many awesome, fresh, flavors. It made me happy.
We were so temped by the desserts (particularly the Smores thing; that sounded amazing) but we weren't even able to finish our pizzas, so we decided dessert was a bad idea.
In summary, we were not expecting to dine at Spago that fine Thursday evening, but we did, and it made us happy.
