Ambra replaces Fiamma at the MGM Grand this summer | Eater Vegas

"Kept under wraps as “Restaurant C” on early construction filings, new paperwork reveals the Italian restaurant Ambra is on schedule to replace Fiamma at the MGM Grand. Pushing for an official summer debut, the resort is currently hiring for select positions but has not shared concept details; an estimated opening date and executive chef have yet to be announced. Named after the Italian translation of “amber,” the 7,500-square-foot site is reworking the entire dining room—reducing the size of the existing long bar, building a second one, and adding new walls, ceilings and interior finishes—will face Morimoto Las Vegas and sit a short distance from Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak and Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House, and will have a maximum occupancy of 392 inside with an initial estimated construction budget of $1,798,345. MGM Resorts International trademarked the Ambra name last month." - Bradley Martin
