JA PA N ESE B I ST RO Established in 1967
Those Were The Days Special to DRIVE by Barbara J. Nosek
A
nd both longtime residents and longtime visitors cast fond backward glances at those days, at “Vegas as it used to be.” Whether sharply accurate or burnished by the passage of time, those golden memories preserve the spirit of Las Vegas PC, or Pre-Corporation. Never mind that those conglomerates have brought to town a bounty of fine restaurants, diverse entertainment and first class shopping. The nostalgic crowd still misses what isn’t here anymore: first name basis execs, parking lots, cheap or even free buffets, liberal comps, liberal markers, cigarettes on the gaming tables, the occasional showroom star dealing at those tables, glamorously garbed nightfolks, the “colorful” characters that ran the places, and on a related note: hmmm, very few casino robberies. While much of that is surely relegated to the pages of Las Vegas lore, some vestiges just as surely remain. The town’s unique history can be revisited at the Mob Museum, at the Nevada State Museum in Springs Preserve, and in countless library books. And, even better, relived in these ever-popular and still standing “Old Vegas” restaurants . . .
MICHAEL’S
OSAKA
Born over 30 years ago at Barbary Coast [then Bill’s, next tba], this upscale dining room followed its creator Michael Gaughan to his new South Point in 2005. Thus, beloved traditions still beckon, the spectacular [and un-menu-ed] iced seafood appetizer, large charred steaks, creamed mushrooms, comp fruit and chocolate, and of course first class service. 702.796.7111 southpointcasino.com
And here is the valley’s pioneer in Japanese restaurants, opening its doors in 1967 on west Sahara [today another on S. Eastern]. And it didn’t hold back, using from the git-go traditional cooking styles plus thenexotic ingredients. Its appeal and success is measured in both longevity and awards, both locally and from the native land. 702.876.4988 osakajapanesebistro.com
ANDRE’S
At “age” 54 the reigning grand dame, the epitome of Old Vegas from its parlor-like lounge, to its warrens of tucked leather booths and Western artifacts, to its throwback menu featuring, e.g., oysters Rockefeller, Caesars salad, Lyonnaise potatoes, and Chateaubriand, plus classic cocktails. A biz booster back when: for every “suspicious” patron, a counterpart FBI agent. 702.384.4470 goldensteersteakhouselasvegas.com
Proprietor Andre Rochat, an original LV celeb chef and local pioneer in offering genuine French cuisine, eventually shuttered his original 6th St location and brought his continental fare and flair to Andre’s at Monte Carlo [702.730.7777] and Alize at Palms [702.942.7777].
