When my sister and brother-in-law visited us a couple of weeks ago, we took them to Downtown Las Vegas where we had a delicious dinner at Firefly. Firefly is a great Spanish restaurant loved by locals and tourists alike, and their new downtown location is really cool. The restaurant is in the Dome of the Plaza Hotel, which was used as the setting for the memorable dinner in the film Casino. The dome opens out onto Fremont Street and you get a birds eye view of the Fremont Street Experience, which, although on the cheesy side, is pretty fun to watch.
In addition to the spectacular location, Firefly has some tasty food. I think the best way to experience their menu is to order lots of tapas plates and share them among your party. One of my favourite things on the Firefly menu are the Bacon-Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Almonds. When we went with my sister and brother-in-law, we ate the first order so fast that we had to order another because they are just that good. They are the perfect combination of salty and sweet with the contrast of flavours between the bacon and the date.
These wrapped dates are really simple to make at home as a quick appetizer or as part of a larger array of tapas dishes. Here is a really basic recipe that you can adjust according to how many you would like to make.  My only advice is to make more than you think you will need  because they will go fast! I promise.
Bacon-Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Almonds
bacon strips
dates
whole almonds (we used raw almonds, but I bet roasted almonds would taste just as good)
toothpicks
Remove the seeds from the dates and insert the almonds into the hole left behind by the seed. Cut the strips of bacon in half or into thirds depending upon the size of your dates. Wrap a small slice of bacon around each date and secure it by using a toothpick to pierce the bacon and date. Cook the bacon-wrapped dates in a frying pan over a medium heat until the bacon is cooked and crispy on all sides. Serve and watch them disappear!
sound very tasty and easy!
