Toby Keith
Country superstar hits Vegas for NFR Toby Keith is a Las Vegas presence and then some. In addition to performing at the MGM Grand Dec. 9 during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Keith is the namesake for Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill at Harrah’s. He performed in Las Vegas earlier this year as well (as part of the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Sept. 30-Oct. 2), and stopped by his restaurant to celebrate its 10th anniversary. While there, he spoke with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen about what NFR means to an Oklahoma City boy. You’ll be back in Vegas for NFR when this interview comes out. What’s your history like with NFR? Does it have special meaning for you? Dad used to go to it when it used to be in Oklahoma City, my hometown, so as a kid I went to all the events. Dad had tickets so we all went to Vegas when we were kids and saw a lot of great rodeo moments there. I saw Chris Ledoux win the championship. I saw Donnie Gay and Larry Mahan, all them guys come to Oklahoma City. So, I have a lot of memories. Before my dad passed away, when I would play Vegas during NFR as a newcomer, he would come here with me and go to rodeo instead of my show. It’s real important to the people of Oklahoma.
band is on top. We’ve got 40 songs but we probably can’t get to them all. Whatever I call tonight they’re on top, and I’ve got a new song “A Few More Cowboys” and a six- or seven-minute tribute to Merle Haggard. Yeah, I saw that, with “Mama Tried.” How have the fans been reacting to “A Few More Cowboys” live? Just like it’s a smash. I don’t know if radio won’t still play a country song anymore but you’ll see when the crowd reacts. It’s just as big as a hit.
Does it bring you a little closer to the memory of your dad since he died? Yeah, I mean every time I come here. ... I always think of my dad when I think of National Finals.
Congratulations on the 10-year anniversary of Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill. Do you think you’ve done your grandmother’s supper club justice? No, not gram’s supper club. Gram’s supper club was more of a steak and shrimp and turkey fries place, a little more old-school, but she’d be proud I’m walking in her shadow.
done really, really good. This is the first one, and the other two or three would be right behind it. Their 10-year anniversaries are coming up pretty soon.
We are three hours away from your set at Route 91 Harvest Festival. What should fans expect tonight—and perhaps fans who will be coming to see you in December? We’re really in sync right now. We’ve been out there killing it since (going on tour in) June. The
You’re recognized as the most successful lifestyle brands entrepreneurs in show business. Did you have any idea 10 years ago that it would get this huge? I thought this bar would do really good. The ones we’ve had that have had great operators have
I understand you’ve done some recording lately, probably the first song cycle since you won the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame award. Did it affect your songwriting? It was easier, it was easier. You know, when they tell you you’re the man, you believe it (laughs).

No, it’s all the same to me. We just write, write, write all the time and it just ends up being what I do. I kind of funnel it all into me, the artist, and so I got real lucky. I’m a real lucky artist to have real wonderful songwriters. What’s your hat size? Seven and five/eighths. I’m 6 foot 8 inches if anyone wants to know that, too. I knew that. And 240 pounds. (Laughs)

One question
Frank Marino What moment from your childhood had the greatest impact on the adult you’ve become, from a personal perspective? I think the most pivotal moment from my childhood happened to me was when my adopted parents died when I was 6 and 9 years old—my mother first with breast cancer and my father later on with lung cancer. Being adopted as well as an only child, I was given everything I asked for. My parents spoiled me and bought me anything and everything a child could want, but when they passed, I went to live with my godparents, which put me in a family as the youngest of five children, where I immediately had to learn the word “share.” That, on top of the fact I saw family members cleaning out my home of all possessions, psychologically had an effect on me where I have a fear of losing things, and hold on to things I own that have great sentimental value. My friends tell me I’m an organized hoarder, but I tell them, “Darling, when you’re rich and famous, the correct word is ‘eccentric.’” LOL. I’m sure any woman reading this would agree and tell you, you can never have too many pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes. Frank Marino hosts Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq at 9:30 p.m. daily. Call 702.777.2783 for tickets.

R&B Royalty Between the two of them, R&B/soul singersongwriters Maxwell and Mary J. Blige have soundtracked hundreds if not thousands of babymaking sessions, so it’s appropriate that their joint tour is dubbed the King and Queen of Hearts Tour. Both singers emerged in the ’90s, with Blige’s debut What’s the 411? released in 1992, and Maxwell’s debut Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite released in 1996. Since then, Blige has been remarkably prolific, releasing a total of 13 studio albums, while Maxwell has been more methodical, taking years between releases (2016’s blackSUMMERS’night is his first album in seven years). For this tour, the performers have promised to mix things up, but of course they will be bringing the hits, including Blige’s “No More Drama” and “Not Gon’ Cry” and Maxwell’s “Pretty Wings” and “This Woman’s Work.” “This isn’t just a love fest for people who have followed our music,” Maxwell told Billboard. “This is a celebration of New York, R&B/soul music and the ’90s.” –Josh Bell

production. Characters pop up seemingly everywhere throughout the theater (which features a stage, a runway and a catwalk) as the relationships—romantic, comic and tragic—play out with an energetic cast, guided by a boisterous ringleader.

Bonding is an important part of Menopause the Musical. In the long-running production four women comically commiserate over hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss and borderline psychotic episodes. Never has The Change felt so ... relatable. They also frequently burst into song, delivering a string of musical parodies based on hits from the ’60s through the ’80s. Some get topically reworked, such as Aretha Franklin (“Change, Change, Change”) and Sonny & Cher (“I’m No Babe, Ma”). –Matt Kelemen Harrah’s, 4 & 7:30 p.m. Mon. & Sat., 7:30 p.m. Tues.-Fri., $50.15-$75.38 VIP plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782 Maxwell photo by Eric Johnson Baz: Star Crossed Love photo by Christopher DeVargas

Life Is But a Stage Few entertainers make the effort to connect with their audiences like Wayne Newton does. Over the course of almost six decades, Newton has given his all during every show to give his audiences what they want, singing his greatest songs and playing more than a dozen instruments, making it impossible for anyone to deny his commitment and passion. And now Mr. Las Vegas is back in the limelight at Bally’s, only this time he’s connecting in a different way—relaying stories from his life and answering questions from the audience in Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal. Whether Newton is discussing becoming a musical icon while still in his early 20s, entertaining U.S. troops for decades or breeding Arabian horses, he’ll have more than enough material to keep audiences enthralled. And as an added bonus, Newton will play a few tunes to remind everyone of his impact on American music, from “Danke Schoen” to “Daddy Don’t
You Walk So Fast.” Even if you’ve been to numerous Newton performances before, this show guarantees you’ll experience a side of him you’ve never seen, or heard, before. –Ken Miller

Capturing a Feeling Any mention of the Bee Gees brings to mind the heady days of disco for many, and a production titled The Australian Bee Gees Show: A Tribute to the Bee Gees is sure to draw people who welcome an onset of night fever and will want to get up and dance. As it turned out, it had little trouble filling up a showroom at the Excalibur five nights a week when Michael Clift and company brought it to Las Vegas in February 2011. Since then the show has delivered more than 1,700 unforgettable performances.
After kicking things off with “Nights on Broadway,” “Jive Talkin’” and “More Than a Woman,” the band delivers a British Invasionera selection of songs including “I Started a Joke” and “Massachusetts.” A short video homage to early ’70s live music series gives the “brothers” a chance to change from ’60s fashions into Saturday Night Fever style, and the audience to hit the dance floor adjacent to the stage. –Matt Kelemen Excalibur, 7 p.m. Sat.-Thurs., $49.95$59.95 plus tax and fee. 702.597.7600
Stone Crab One of the best things about this time of year is that it’s stone crab season. Crab lovers looking to get their fix need to head over to Siegel’s 1941 at El Cortez for a limited-time deal: Every Friday and Saturday night starting at 5 p.m., eat all you can for $45 a pound, served with a Dijonaise sauce, cole slaw and cottage-fried potatoes. Enjoy it while it lasts—stone crab will be sold until the day’s catch is sold out, and the program is only good through the fall.

Season of Sounds Vegas alt-rock radio station X107.5 keeps upping the ante for its annual Holiday Havoc celebration, expanding to two nights this year with Blink-182 and Weezer, respectively, headlining each evening. Blink-182, pictured, tops the Dec. 8 bill, which also features Jimmy Eat World, Pierce the Veil, Weathers and The Hunna. The pop-punk trio has been flying high again since bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker invited Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba for a band reignition. Bassist Scott Shriner is the only Weezer member to have not been around at the formation, with frontman Rivers Cuomo providing most of the songwriting duties for the duration. Hits such as “Buddy Holly,” “Undone (The Sweater Song),” “Say It Ain’t So,” “Hash Pipe” and “Beverly Hills” assured Weezer’s future as a concert draw, a path the younger bands on the Dec. 9 bill such as Grouplove, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Saint Motel, The Moth and the Flame and 888 surely hope to follow. –Matt Kelemen

Sensory Journey You’re not dreaming—you’re KÀ-ing. And if you’ve got vertigo, grab your seat-rests as that vertical stage transforms into an enormous tilt-a-whirl—eventually standing straight on end—as performers scamper up, down and try to hang on. One of Cirque du Soleil’s most vigorous exercises in athletic mysticism, KÀ was named for the Egyptian idea of ka. Brought to theatrical life, in a massive theater by 80-plus artists—chock-full of acrobats, puppetry and martial arts—KÀ tells the tale of “the coming of age of a young man and a young woman.” Translation: gravity-defying action (driven by a dramatic soundtrack) as spear-toting warriors track the royal brother and sister, who wind up separated, with sister fleeing on a boat caught in a violent storm and escaping danger on a flying machine. Brother is helped along by a member of the court. They encounter sea creatures, learn about shadow puppets and experience the Wheel of Death. Bottom line: a feast for the senses that plays with your spatial

Hard to Pin Down Somehow Jim James has managed to be both prolific and fly under the radar as an artist. He is best known for creating crunchy rock sounds with My Morning Jacket, the alt-psych rockers from Louisville, Ky., who are renowned for their live jam sessions. As a solo artist, sometimes known as Jim James and sometimes as Yim Yames, he has worked with T Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello and The Decemberists. He even acted in the avant garde Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There directed by Todd Haynes. And if that’s not enough, he and his bandmates also appeared in an episode of American Dad. He’s currently on tour in support of his second solo album, Eternally Even. Lead single “Same Old Lie” starts off in the world of standard rock and moves into an exciting instrumental crescendo with some steps into the land of the psychedelic. It is a good example of what one can expect during a James’ show as he will no doubt ratchet up the genre mashups and take the crowd on a journey throughout all the universes he visits musically. –Jason Harris

Triggering Memories Prepare for an evening of music that blends Southern rock and arena rock when 38 Special hits the stage, part of the Golden Nugget’s 52 Fridays musical series. 38 Special will have the Golden Nugget theater rocking with its hit recordings from the last 30 years, songs such as “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Second Chance,” and “Fantasy Girl.” The band was formed in 1974 by guitarist Don Barnes and his neighbor Donnie Van Zant when they lived in Florida.
Although the first two albums had a strong Southern rock influence and they shifted to a more arena sound later, both are evident in their music. Barnes talks about the music and live shows on their website: “We never wanted to be one of those bands that had maybe gotten a little soft or complacent over the years. We’re a team and it’s always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win.” This is sure to be a night of nostalgia and excitement. –Penny Levin

Prohibition crafted cocktails
Wet Your Whistle
An impressive experience in cocktails and spirits In a city filled with fine places to wine and to dine, a hidden gem is all the more special—and Cornerstone at the Gold Coast is one such special place. The newly opened steakhouse and lounge is tucked into a corner off the casino floor. Finding it is like coming across a speakeasy, and that vibe thrives once through its doors. The deep, rich color palette and the ornate furnishings send guests back to the Prohibition era, and there’s a cocktail menu to match. “That was our intention, to serve Prohibitionera and classic cocktails, but give them our own Cornerstone twist,” says lead mixologist Brandon StClair, who helped create the menus. One prime example is the Old Fashioned—a classic cocktail, but here Old Forester bourbon is

barrel aged for 40 days with dried cherries, cinnamon, vanilla bean and orange peel. Other throwback libations include Cornerstone’s version of a tiki drink. However, instead of being rum-based, JJ’s Tiki uses Jameson Black Barrel whiskey and mixes in coconut cream, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, grapefruit juice and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. “The cocktail still has that tropical taste, but now there’s a nice, smoky flavor and undertone,” says StClair. Other must-try sips under the menu’s Prohibition crafted cocktails include the Cucumber Southside, Lem n’ Berry and Sazerac. It’s not just the crafted cocktails that make Cornerstone a hidden gem—it’s the whiskey, bourbon and scotch selections, too. “We’re deliv-
ering such a nice library selection, but we’re not charging the high prices,” says St Clair. A good place to start would be the whiskey and Scotch flights, where guests can try three different labels, many for under $25. A popular flight is the High on Rye that includes Templeton, Russell’s Reserve and Michter’s Single Barrel. Besides the flights, guests can indulge in robust offerings that include labels like Angel’s Envy, Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, Macallan 25 Year and Highland Park 18 Year. “Our menu is extensive, but it’s our price point that’s unbelievable,” says StClair. “I mean, where else can you get Eagle Rare 17 Year for only $12?” –Kiko Miyasato Gold Coast, lounge hours, 4-10 p.m. Sun.Thurs., 4-11 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.367.7111

Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak hits all the right notes By Ken Miller | Photography by Peter harasty

Charred octopus
Few restaurants make you feel as warm and invited as Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak at The Mirage. For starters, it’s right under the resort’s giant atrium, so there’s lots of lush foliage and water features to enjoy as you wait to be seated. But the venue itself also has a very welcoming vibe: dark, burnished wood dominates the décor, and the wood motif expands to the piles of firewood displayed at the back of the house, which hint at the wood-fired grills used in barbecuing your steak to perfection. The Top Chef judge spared no expense in making this a destination for steak lovers everywhere. But before ordering that bone-in ribeye or dry-aged porterhouse, however, make sure to sample a bit of everything Heritage has to offer. Start with homemade cornbread, served with habanero honey butter, a great way to prime your tastebuds. Then work your way to king crab fondue, a decadent mix of large chunks of crab meat, Pernod cream and cherry tomato, served with toasted bread slices for dipping. The salty, melt-in-your-mouth Berkshire pork belly is a true highlight, served with apple butter and a sharp cheddar crumble. Yellowtail crudo, served with butternut relish and pistachio, and tender grilled octopus, covered with leek vinaigrette, roasted red pepper and almond, round out the other don’t-miss first courses. It almost seems criminal to highlight any one steak here, but the Australian flat iron just begs to be sampled, thinly sliced and served with a lusciously spicy chimichurri glaze. Prime rib lovers will not want to miss Colicchio’s version

with carmelized onion jus, horseradish and Yorkshire pudding. Add them all together for a taste sensation that will make you feel like you’re eating prime rib for the first time. And wait until you try Heritage’s duck breast, served with duck chorizo and seasonal fruit. Save plenty of room for Heritage’s sides. Spicy onion rings are a bestseller, and for very good reason—not only do they pack a spice wallop, that white barbecue sauce is just the perfect complement. Brussels sprouts cooked with bacon will divert your attention from your main course all evening, and fried mac and

cheese balls served with bacon dip almost feel like an entire meal. Never underestimate the ability of a good chef to revolutionize dessert. Colicchio’s Ice Cream Social feels like a Baskin-Robbins brought straight to your table. A cart including ice cream bars, various toppings and two types of chocolate dip are delivered, and your server takes your request: dark or milk chocolate coating, after which it is either dipped in peanuts, cookie crumble or sprinkles—or all three. There’s also homemade funnel cake! If this doesn’t make you feel like a kid again, nothing will.

Tom Parker
Bingo room manager keeps the balls rolling For Tom Parker, every day is game day. Parker, a lifelong sports fan, Pennsylvania State grad and former sports writer, runs the Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa and Casino’s bingo room as its manager (he’s also keno manager). Despite bingo’s reputation as a haven for older people, Parker and his friendly crew keep it lively for all ages, whether through interactions between bingo agents and players or through special games like Rock Shot bingo. “We ... developed a party-style game that people really love. It’s one of the things our guests and our team members look forward to,” said Parker. Yes, winners get a shot of alcohol as well as money. On Dec. 8 at 9 p.m., Parker and team host a Birthday Rock Shot to help cel-

ebrate Green Valley Ranch’s 15th anniversary, and plan to add extra birthday-party elements, in addition to the DJ, glow sticks and dancing at intermission that the event normally has. Parker, who has worked for Station Casinos for 13 years, keeps busy in his off time, volunteering (he recently called a bingo game at the Blind Center), covering sports for a website, coaching softball and hanging with his dog, Ace. And he looks forward to introducing bingo to a wider audience. “I actually see bingo going to more fun, atmosphere-type games ... things people haven’t seen before. That’s where I envision bingo going, something to look forward to all the time, to draw in younger and older. I think we can pull that off.” –Nina King
If you’ve ever sat down to a bingo game in Las Vegas, then you know the lure of the cash ball, that extra amount of dough that grows and grows with each game until someone wins it. (Cash balls range from a few hundred dollars up to the thousands.) At Green Valley Ranch, the fruity, tropical Cash Ball commemorates the day a regular player requested a special drink be created to bring him luck—and he hit the cash ball. Hey, order one, and maybe it’ll bring you luck, too! –NK

Say howdy to your country grandpappy—and a legend. Enduring through a career winding back to the 1950s, the 80-yearold singer/guitarist/fiddler has conquered country, bluegrass and Southern rock with signature hits such as “In America,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again,” “Long-Haired Country

BRENDA LEE (DEC. 5)
History salutes this durable performer: After launching her
career in the 1950s, Lee hit the ’60s like a rocket, charting 47 singles—including “I’m Sorry” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (still played on-air and in stores every holiday season)— and ranking fourth, behind only Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Ray Charles. Dubbed “Little Miss Dynamite” after recording “Dynamite”—and for being 4 feet 9 inches tall—Lee
concentrated on country hits in the ’70s and ’80s. However, she remains the only female artist to chart hits in every genre—pop, country, blues, rock and gospel.

over the decades, including “What’s Your Mama’s Name,” “Blood Red and Goin’ Down” and “Lizzie and the Rainman.” Explaining her singing style last year to Las Vegas Magazine, she credited her dad. “He got me to sing songs over and over with more feeling, like Hank Williams would,” she said. “He somehow made me feel it myself.” Reflecting on her long career, she added: “I love being part of the old and part of the new, but mostly being the bridge between the two.”
WYNONNA & THE BIG NOISE (DEC. 8)
Sporting a big voice and an equally sizable personality, this onetime daughter half of The Judds with mom Naomi has been a solo powerhouse since the 1990s, placing more than 20 tunes in the country charts including the No. 1 singles “She Is His Only Need,” “No One Else on Earth” and “To Be Loved By You.” Rather than going it alone
now, Wynonna is appearing with her band, The Big Noise, led by her husband since 2012, drummer Cactus Moser (the band released a self-titled album last February).

Tim McGraw
By STEVE BORNFELD
Entertainment abounds around town during rodeo
Hey partner—how about partnering with some high-flyin’ entertainment to complement the high-energy action of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo? Lasso the fun with these performers:
LoCash
LoCash (Dec. 4-7, Treasure Island) He’s Preston Brust. And he’s Chris Lucas. Combined, call them LoCash, who’ve landed seven singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart—including their best-selling hit, “I Know Somebody,” as well as “Here Comes Summer,” “You Got Me” and “C.O.U.N.T.R.Y.” As songwriters, they’ve also penned Keith Urban’s No. 1 “You Gonna Fly” and Tim McGraw’s “Truck Yeah.” Love a good party song? Perhaps you’ll hear LoCash’s version, titled—what else?—“Drunk Drunk.” Rodney Carrington
Kelsea Ballerini
Rodney Carrington (Dec. 4-10, MGM Grand) You a grown-up? Then prep your ears for Carrington, whose stand-up comedy crossed with original novelty ditties yields racy results—for confirmation, give a listen to his ode to his family jewels (we don’t mean heirlooms). Dating, love, marriage, family, divorce, religion—all are laid bare for spicy laughs. Rude, crude and not for prudes, he’s a cut-up for big boys and girls. Gary Allan (Dec. 9-10, The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel) Allan is—we mean this admiringly—a music chart hog: 26 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, with half crossing over to Billboard’s Hot 100. Four tracks—“Man to Man,” “Tough Little Boys,” “Nothing On But the Radio” and “Every Storm”—were crowned No. 1 while eight more cracked the top 10. Entertain-

ment Weekly called him “dark and dreamy.” Playboy labeled him “soulful.” Rolling Stone went with “maverick.” We’ll stick with “outlaw.” Kelsea Ballerini with Cam (Dec. 9-10, The Orleans) Rising-star teamwork is the appeal of
this country double dip. Ballerini scored a musical trifecta when three singles—“Love Me Like You Mean It,” “Dibs” and “Peter Pan”—topped Billboard’s Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs chart simultaneously, making her the first female solo country artist to accomplish that feat. Cam—full name Camaron Ochs—hit the scene as a major-label artist last year, scored a breakout hit with “Burning House” and notched a Grammy nom this year. Tim McGraw (Dec. 10, MGM Grand) The man is star-power personified. Hits? “Live Like You Were Dying,” “Don’t Take the Girl,” “It’s Your Love” (with the missus), “Something Like That” and many more. Son of the late pitcher Tug McGraw, the Louisiana native paired with Hill for the Soul2Soul II tour of 2006-’07, which remains the highest-grossing tour in country music history, and among the top five among all music genres. (Soul2Soul was also the title of their residency production at The Venetian.) Countrywise, big names don’t get any bigger.

9 Steaks Some of the best options in town
Growing up in Montana, I saw more than my fair share of rodeos. As exciting as the roping and bucking events were, I found myself more interested in the exploits of the rodeo clowns than anything else—every time they ran into the arena, I covered my face in my hands, worried they would come to serious harm. They never did, and for a very brief period of my life, I considered becoming a rodeo clown. Much like police officer, astronaut and superhero, those dreams kind of fell by the wayside as I grew older, but my appreciation of the athleticism, skill and just pure guts that go into every facet of your average rodeo have never diminished. Las Vegas is currently in the midst of one of the biggest rodeo events of the year: Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center. Hundreds of thousands of fans have flocked here to enjoy not just the rodeo events, but also the dozens of country-themed musical acts and nonstop entertainment. And of course, they’re looking forward to those “only in Vegas” moments. And that’s where Las Vegas Magazine’s NFR Quick Guide comes in. Sure, you’re mainly here for the horses, bulls and steers, but once you take a break, check out the following pages. You’ll find everything you need to get the most out of your stay—after all, your time here is limited. Let our staff ’s decades of experience here give you that insider’s edge.

In the city that does everything over the top, classic cuts of beef are still king By Las Vegas Magazine Staff Gordon Ramsay Steak
There’s just no escaping it— Las Vegas is a land of steakhouses and buffets. We’ve got more of each in one 4-mile stretch of road than most whole cities, and there’s no shortage of amazing experiences to be had. Whether your appetite demands a Fred Flintstone-sized cut or a steak of more reasonable proportions, Las Vegas definitely has you more than covered.

35-ounce tomahawk (35 Steaks + Martinis, Hard Rock Hotel) So special they named the restaurant after it, the 35-ounce, 35-day-aged USDA Prime tomahawk is the feather in the cap of the Hard Rock’s trendy steakhouse. The eyecatcher is the giant rib bone, but the marbled beef stands on its own, especially when paired with sides like chipotle creamed corn or mac-nextra cheese.
66 12.4.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

32-ounce royal longbone chop (Gordon Ramsay Steak, Paris) Gordon Ramsay’s first restaurant in Las Vegas was much trumpeted upon its arrival in 2012, and with good reason. Its beef, sourced from Pat LaFrieda and dry-aged for 28 days in LaFrieda’s Himalayan salt room, quickly won over critics and fans alike, especially his royal long-bone chop, a cut worthy of Her Majesty.
35 Steaks + Martinis
Foundation Room

8-ounce center-cut filet (Foundation Room, Mandalay Bay) The only thing better than the view from this restaurant at the top floor of Mandalay Bay is the amazing steak selection. Red meat here makes for memorable, melt-in-your-mouth enjoyment. The center-cut filet gets seared with a rub of pink Hawaiian salt, letting nature do the rest. Dip a forkful into the dab of béarnaise sauce for the perfect complement.
Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, The Steak House at Circus Circus and Foundation Room photos by Peter Harasty
4
prime Porterhouse (Alder & Birch, The Orleans) The smallish steak section’s in-house dry-aged options include grass-fed ribeye, filet mignon, 12-ounce flat-iron steak and the 22-ounce bone-in ribeye, but for a truly unforgettable experience, try the signature prime porterhouse, a 24-ounce cut with excellent flavor and lovely to behold. Don’t forget to pair it with sides like blue cheese scalloped potatoes, a luscious grilled cream of corn, quinoa with sprouts and roasted root veggies.
5
Creekstone Farms Angus chateaubriand (Delmonico Steakhouse, The Venetian) Arkansas City, Kan., beef purveyor Creekstone Farms is responsible for Delmonico Steakhouse’s tender chateaubriand, essentially a long filet for two carved tableside. (Creekstone Farms also supplies beef to another Emeril Lagasse restaurant, his flagship Emeril’s in New Orleans.) The naturally raised Angus cut arrives not a la carte but with sides of asparagus and garlic smashed potatoes.
6
14-ounce brooklyn filet (Stack, The Mirage) If you crave hearty meat, Stack has what you need. Beefy offerings include the 14-ounce Brooklyn filet, a gorgeous cut that wows you from the get-go. Burgundy butter and peppercorn sauce really enhance the flavors. Make sure to pair it with the creamy four-cheese potato gratin and luscious roasted mushrooms.
N9NE Steakhouse
Stack
7
44-ounce Prime ribeye tomahawk for two (N9NE Steakhouse, Palms) Not that size should matter, but N9NE’s ribeye tomahawk takes the cake when it comes to onthe-bone heft. The massive cut is pepper-crusted and grilled, then served with a red wine sauce alongside roasted bone marrow, seasonal vegetables and baby Dutch potatoes.
The Steak House at Circus Circus
Andiamo Italian Steakhouse
8
32-ounce Andiamo tomahawk (Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, The D) It was The D owner Derek Stevens who brought Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse to downtown Vegas, and Vicari who tapped butchers Pat LaFrieda and Stockyard Premium to provide the beef. The Andiamo tomahawk is a steal at $79, dryaged for 30 days and “charred to perfection,” as the menu states.
Stack photo by Big French, 35 Steaks + Martinis photo by Erik Kabik
9
filet mignon (The Steak House at Circus Circus) You really can’t go wrong here, but you would be remiss in passing up the filet mignon, as juicy and flavorful as it is tender. If you’re looking for something different in the way of sides, try the black bean soup, served with a small side of sherry and chopped onions, to add flavor as desired.

Tales to Tell
Every year during the National Finals Rodeo, Vegas entertainment is dominated by country music performances, catering to the fans who come to town for the rodeo, or who just appreciate the culture surrounding it. Part of that culture is Southern comedy, which goes hand in hand with country music, and comedians like Ron White (The Mirage, 702.792.7777) always find an appreciative
audience in Vegas during NFR (he performs Dec. 9-10). Once part of the Blue Collar Comedy troupe, White has moved on from the redneck comedy niche to expand his style, and he can find a happy crowd in Vegas at pretty much any time of year. White still has his Southern twang and his unpretentious attitude, but his comedy has become more wide-ranging as his success
Entertainment Dining Nightlife Gaming Shopping Health & Beauty Attractions Marketplace Resources Out & About
has afforded him opportunities beyond his humble roots. He’s still self-deprecating enough to be relatable, though, and his material about marriage and family remains universal. White recently wrapped up a recurring role on Showtime’s Roadies, but his focus is still squarely on stand-up. For audiences looking to laugh after checking out cowboys or country singers, White has them covered. –Josh Bell
