Surprise your sweetie tonight with this easy dessert recipe from Shibuya at MGM Grand.
PANNA COTTA
1 quart milk
½ quart heavy cream
7 oz sugar
1 fresh vanilla bean or vanilla powder
11 gelatin sheets
5 ½ oz amaretto
1. Bloom gelatin in cold water.
2. Heat milk to scalding and add gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Add amaretto. Set aside to steep.
3. Combine the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium- high heat. Reduce the heat and cook for five minutes stirring often.
4. Gradually stir the gelatin-milk mixture into the cream mixture until completely combined. DO NOT BRING TO A BOIL.
5. Pour the mixture into a bowl set over an ice bath. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to cool and get gelified
6. Place in nice ice cream cups or wine glasses. Refrigerate for about 3 hours until set.
PS - In case you have no clue what blooming is (we didn’t either): Blooming is the process of softening gelatin in a cool liquid before it is dissolved. Add small amount of COLD water onto the gelatin, stir lightly to combine. After couple of minutes or so it will “bloom”, as the gelatin will have absorbed the water.

Word from Scott, MGM Grand President & COO
We’re only a month into 2012 and it’s already shaping up to be an incredible year for all of us at MGM Grand. The Grand Renovation is in full swing and we’re excited to share with you everything on the horizon.
We recently announced that comedian and actor Brad Garrett will bring his comedy club to the hotel, opening March 29. I can tell you first hand that after spending quite a bit of time with Brad over the last few months, he’s not only a tremendous entertainer, but also a remarkable individual and we welcome him to the MGM Grand family.
Also joining our entertainment lineup is Hakkasan, an innovative Cantonese restaurant incorporating nightlife elements from Angel Management Group, one of Las Vegas’ preeminent nightclub operators. Located where the iconic Studio 54 stood for 14 years, Hakkasan Las Vegas will introduce its Michelin-rated cuisine and international vibe beginning New Year’s Eve.
In just a few weeks, we will welcome Sugar Factory and Blizz Frozen Yogurt to MGM Grand, and having an insatiable sweet tooth myself, I am sure to become a frequent customer of both.
Last but not least, at the core of our Grand Renovation are our stunning new guest rooms and suites. As of February 1, we have more than 1,218 rooms complete and the feedback we’ve been getting from guests has been remarkable.
With so much going on throughout the hotel and casino this year, the energy here is electric as our team works tirelessly to maintain our position as The Strip’s ultimate entertainment destination. We look forward to welcoming you back to MGM Grand soon to share this evolution with you in person. We promise, it will be something to write home about (or post to Facebook, as the case may be…).

We are thrilled to announce Hakkasan to open at MGM Grand this year!
Hakkasan Las Vegas will replace Studio 54, which will be closing this February. This exciting new venue combines dining and nightlife as part of The Grand Renovation and is set to open in December 2012. The transformation will expand the size of the former venue, creating an indoor/outdoor space with unparalleled views of the famed Las Vegas Strip. It will be the embodiment of sophistication, glamour, world-class cuisine and impeccable service, thus creating a sexy and stylish environment. Stay tuned for more details!
