Temperatures
are heating up across the country making July the perfect time of year to
indulge in one of America’s favorite guilty pleasures: ice cream. Thankfully,
in 1984, July was designated National Ice Cream Month granting everyone
permission to enjoy dripping waffle cones, tasty ice cream sandwiches, creamy
milkshakes and scoops with as many toppings as they please. The restaurants at
Bellagio, ARIA, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, Monte Carlo, New York-New
York, Luxor, and Circus Circus invite guests to celebrate this sweet holiday
all month with innovative creations. Frozen treats include:
Rick
Moonen’s rm seafood at Mandalay Bay
Rick
Moonen challenges guests to name all 16 flavors in his ice cream tasting, and
those that do will enjoy the dessert for free.
Flavors change often and can be as exotic as foie gras, or as simple as
vanilla. Only a handful of people have been able to guess all flavors and
National Ice Cream month is the perfect time for guests to try their luck. www.mandalaybay.com/dining/rick-moonens-rm-seafood/
