| - After a long week, I needed a break... And I needed a drink... And I needed dinner. Thankfully, I found Lago.
I started the evening the right way, with a mojito. It had just the right balance of fresh and sweet. It also had a nice, fruity kick.
The culinary journey continued with the summer squash soup. It was hearty, yet refreshing.
Perhaps the top highlight of the night was the linguine pesto. The pesto was so rich, so green, so earthy (in a good way!), and so satisfying. The shaved almonds and grated parmesan added extra layers of flavor that completed the dish so perfectly.
And finally, I couldn't help but try the mortadella flourless chocolate cake. Whoa! Come through, shaved edible gold! And that was just the start of it, as there were so many layers for chocoholics to enjoy.
I must admit I wasn't blown away the first time I passed by Lago, as the exterior gives a bit of a "cafeteria" vibe. That all changed when I stepped inside. Not only are the fountain and Strip views amazing, but the food & drinks are out of this world as well.
