But I'm getting ahead of myself. Yes, I was able to restrain my baser instincts and not just have a couple of those for lunch.

The restaurant is located in the Roman Plaza, the outdoor courtyard right along The Strip near the corner of Flamingo. You can't miss the pink awnings covering a lovely outdoor patio that is great on not-too-warm days.

A quick note… if you're coming specifically to eat here and nothing else and are driving, use the main hotel registration valet. Self parking and the Forum Shops valet are about a bazillion miles from the place.

The expansive (physically) menu is wide ranging with that "little something for everyone" kind of ethos that has made places like TGI Friday's so popular for so long. There are pizzas (honey Dijon, BBQ pork, etc.), soups, pastas (ravioli, mac and cheese), salads (from Caesar to Thai Beef), omelets, a variety of sandwiches, chicken or short rib pot pies, burgers, and their famous foot long hot dogs.

We decided to sample a couple of the burgers and were pleased with our selections when they came. The ABC Burger features fresh avocado, brie, and caramelized onions while the Black and Blue Burger has peppered bacon, bleu cheese, and BBQ sauce. Both were served on their fresh, spiral shaped buns baked fresh daily and both were so big that two very hearty eaters had a hard time getting through them. And we wanted to because they were that good.

A full page of desserts features everything from apple pie to a full line of drug store style sundaes. If you're feeling decadent you can go for the Treasure Chest, a chocolate box filled with assorted ice cream, cookies, berries, and cakes. It's $77 but is good for four people. Or if you are feeling, well, insane I guess, you could have the Golden Opulence Sundae, with Tahitian ice cream, edible gold leaf, and the world's most expensive chocolate. It'll only cost you $1,000. No, really.

But yes, you can skip that entire dessert page if you choose and go back to the frozen drink section for your frozen hot chocolate, which comes in regular chocolate, double chocolate, peanut butter, or strawberry supreme.

It's basically a giant overflowing milkshake with whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top but tastes like hot chocolate. Only cold. It's hard to explain, but wow is it rich and really good.

Prices are moderate - most main courses are in the $10-20 range so figure $20-30 per person once all is said and done.

I'd write more but it's a warm day and I think I need something cold to drink.
