on the scene WITH BROCK RADKE
Wayne Newton
Mr. Las Vegas introduces new show No entertainer’s name is more closely and inextricably tied to Las Vegas than Wayne Newton. That’s why it makes so much sense that he’s now performing in Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal at Caesars Palace, a union of two Vegas legends. “Caesars has almost been like the flagship for Las Vegas over the years, so it’s really wonderful and exciting to go back there,” says Newton, who has performed in so many Strip resorts throughout his incredible career. “Come May, I’m celebrating my 60th year performing in Las Vegas. I’m looking forward to the next 60.” You’ve certainly performed at Caesars Palace before, but what’s it like to take your show to Cleopatra’s Barge now? It’s really interesting to me because when I look at the original showroom I played and Frank (Sinatra) played and all those performers, they did away with that one. That’s when they built the (OmniMax) and all that stuff. This one is the Barge and that was a totally different kind of room also, but when they asked me to go look at it, I made some suggestions I thought would benefit our show and the other performers there and Caesars was really nice about it. Anything we wanted, they were ready to do. So it’s kind of like being home again. What changes are you planning for the show? We’re adding some musicians and some singers. We spent three years at Bally’s and it was very nice and I enjoyed it and I watched the show really morph into something that was not anticipated when we started. I think from that growth and change, we’ll be doing more music than we did at Bally’s. It gave me a chance, if you’ll pardon the pun, to really get up close and personal with the audience and find out what it is they truly want
12 2.17.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
to hear and what they want to know about. It sounds like you’ll continue to tell some of those great stories from your career. Maybe not as much, maybe a little more live music than we did. But we’re going to keep a lot of those stories because it’s amazing how many people do not know so much about our city and the evolution of Las Vegas. When I came here in 1959, there were around 70,000 people and now we’re looking at 2 million. We’ve grown into a major city and I think we as performers need to realize we have to grow and assimilate in different ways to stay relevant and have the people enjoy what we’re doing. What are your thoughts on the current Strip phenomenon of the resident headliner? Do you think that will continue to be a dominant force in Vegas entertainment? I think it’s finally come back to what it was when I came here. You could drive up and down the Strip and there was always a major star at each hotel. Now we’ve been moving back to that star policy and I’m thrilled about it because it’s really what started this town and started people coming here. There’s this new group coming here and making this their home
venue and I think it’s a big plus and I see it continuing. You’re still popping up in movies and TV. Do you have a favorite role or cameo appearance you’ve done over the years? Oh yes, of course. I have one coming out this year we shot in Canada called Puppy Love and I do a cameo in that. But my favorite so far would have to be Vegas Vacation simply because so much of it is Las Vegas, and working with Chevy (Chase) and all those
people was such a ball. And it’s still taking on a whole new life. I was walking through an airport about a month ago and there was a lady walking toward me with her son, who I took to be around 9 years old, and he started grabbing his mother’s sleeve when he saw me. As they got closer and he was more sure it was me, he yelled, “Mom, look, there’s that guy that played Wayne Newton in Vegas Vacation!” (Laughs.) It was kind of humbling but, at the same time, it was a lot of fun.

Around the Strip Brock Radke is an award-winning entertainment reporter who has been covering the city since 2000, and interviews key movers and shakers on his All The Vegas podcast, available at allthevegas.com.
House of Laughs When you think of the Colosseum, the iconic musical names that have resided there instantly leap to mind: Celine Dion, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey. But the game-changing Caesars Palace venue has also been home to biggest names in comedy as well, especially recently, including Steve Martin and Martin Short, Jim Gaffigan, Jeff Dunham and rising stars
such as Aziz Ansari and Sebastian Maniscalco. The best-known Colosseum comedian is also the one who’s performed there the most, and Jerry Seinfeld is back on his chosen Vegas stage on Feb. 22-23. And it’s the only place to consistently catch Seinfeld’s stand-up other than his New York residency at the Beacon Theater.
Must-See: George Lopez George Lopez has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has been named one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America in Time magazine and selected as one of the Top 10 Favorite Television Personalities by the Harris Poll. Through all the accolades, the one thing that matters most is how much he makes us laugh. Lopez, who returns to the Aces of Comedy series stage at The Mirage Feb. 22-23, has maintained a fierce focus on stand-up recently, burning down theaters across the country with The Wall Tour. This is an onstage artist operating at his peak, so catch him if you can.

Lady Gaga visited downtown Las Vegas after a recent Friday night showing of her Enigma production at Park Theater, partying with friends and cast mates at the hip La Comida. The following night, her musical spectacular attracted a galaxy of stars, including Christina Aguilera, who was making the rounds of Las Vegas Strip resident shows to get ready for her own production, The Xperience, coming to Planet Hollywood on May 31. Also in the crowd were Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky, iconic designer Diane Von Furstenberg, Facebook boss Sheryl Sandberg, actress Kathy Bates and drag star Shangela, who appeared with Gaga in A Star is Born. Pop star Pink, with hubby Carey Hart, also attended Enigma, then kept the party rolling by visiting Absinthe at Caesars Palace for the second time in five months. Pink will be back in Vegas on April 12, if not sooner, for a tour stop at T-Mobile Arena. Former Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls and L.A. Lakers great Dennis Rodman dined at Sake Rok at The Park, attacking the signature Godzilla sushi platter. On the Record at Park MGM continues to be a scorching celebrity hot spot. Producer and songwriter Mark Ronson began his DJ residency there, attended by British singer and actress Rita Ora and Greta and Carrie star actress Chloë Grace Moretz, who was celebrating her 22nd birthday with family and friends.

Three of a Kind
R&B group stays smooth through the decades Undeniable talent, iconic music and all-around showmanship. To be a successful headliner in the highly competitive entertainment landscape of the Las Vegas Strip, you must have at least one of these weapons in your arsenal. Or you could be like Boyz II Men, which has all three. Now in their sixth year of performing one of the Strip’s most entertaining musical residencies at the Terry Fator Theatre at The Mirage, Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman have honed their show into a well-balanced, finely tuned example of what this style of Vegas production should be. They honor their longtime fans with pristine performances of their biggest hits, from “End of the Road” to “I’ll Make Love to

You,” but never fail to impress with extra energy and a few surprises along the way. No matter what you expect from one of the most talented and successful soul and R&B singing groups of all time, you’ll leave with a fresh impression and the same thoughts everyone has: “I didn’t know they could do that!” The individually and collectively gifted vocalists cruise through Motown classics including “Just My Imagination” and “The Tracks of My Tears”—complete with Temptations-style choreography—and a few rock and roll favorites like “Are You Gonna Go My Way” and “Come Together.” There are the classic Boyz II Men cover songs, including The Beatles’ “Yesterday” and
the song they originally passed on that went on to become one of the biggest pop crossover hits of its era, Lonestar’s “Amazed.” Of course, the crowd in the comfortable Mirage venue is never happier than when those mega-hits come out, from the romantic harmonies and soaring vocal runs of “On Bended Knee” to the singalong-inducing “End of the Road” and high-energy “Motownphilly.” These are singers who have kept their unequaled instruments in peak condition and they are just doing what they do, which is simply being great entertainers in Las Vegas. –Brock Radke The Mirage, 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22-24, starting at $49.99 plus tax and fee. 702.792.7777

Capturing a Legend Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE hits all the right notes, as The King of Pop was practically a one-man Cirque show himself. The story involves four protagonists whose lives are touched by Jackson’s spirit. Each character—Clumsy, Smarty Pants, Shy and Sneaky—receives a gift from Jackson that leads to them acquiring new abilities. They find they have double slackline skills, or new martial arts or dancing prowess, or encounter a spangled glove that seems to have a life of its own. The tale unfurls against a backdrop of futuristic expressionist design and culminates in a battle of light vs. darkness. –Matt Kelemen

A Growing Legend Ever since The Roots signed on as the house band for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in 2009 (later joining Fallon when he moved to The Tonight Show), the acclaimed hip-hop group has had to cut way back on touring. For a group once named one of the greatest live acts in the world by Rolling Stone, that’s a big sacrifice, not only for the members of The Roots, but also for the audiences eager to see them perform live. From their earliest days, The Roots have been known for exciting, unpredictable live shows, combining the energy and passion of hip-hop with the musical chops and inventiveness of a veteran jam band. Even with their Tonight Show duties taking up so much of their time, The Roots have continued recording and playing live as often as possible, and they have another album in the works for later this year. Still, getting to see a full Roots concert is an increasingly rare pleasure, and anyone who’s enjoyed The Roots’ versatility and playfulness on TV will be able to witness a whole new dimension from the band. It’s an opportunity no one should pass up. –Josh Bell

Good Change After two albums of mostly bright, upbeat poppunk, U.K. band As It Is made a shift into darker territory with 2018 album The Great Depression, which, as its title implies, is a concept album about mental illness. Divided into four sections, the album follows a protagonist called The Poet, who guides the listener through the ways that society deals with the mentally ill. Musically, the album features a harder edge than the band’s previous work, reminiscent of influences like My Chemical Romance and AFI. “This album was always going to be our most ambitious and controversial album to date, but it’s equally been the most overwhelmingly positively received ... This album has completely changed us as people and the band we intend to be in the future,” frontman Patty Walters told PopCrush as the band prepared to kick off its current tour. In keeping with the mental health theme, As It Is has partnered on tour with nonprofit organization A Voice for the Innocent, which provides resources and support
for people affected by sexual violence, and the band is donating the proceeds from a special AVFTI-themed tour T-shirt. Their evolution is already making a serious impact. –Josh Bell

In a Silent Way Tape Face doesn’t need much to entertain. The silent prop comic’s bag of tricks includes tape measures, toilet paper, a toilet seat, a plunger, balloons, oven mitts, a Rubik’s Cube and, of course, tape. A strip of tape covers his mouth so he can’t speak, but he needs help. Using his expressive eyes and a flashlight, he dashes into the audience to find cohorts who will assist him with strange tasks that come from a very childlike imagination. While Tape Face’s intent is creating visual jokes with wait-for-it reveals, his creator Sam
Wills is intentionally bringing fringe festival entertainment to the Strip—and making it work. It’s one thing to play to fringe festival audiences that expect the unexpected, but performing a participatory act for Vegas visitors with diverse entertainment options is riskier. Though, if the packed house at shows this year are any indication, Tape Face has no shortage of volunteers willing to join him. And anything goes from there, in a PG-13 way. –Matt Kelemen Harrah’s, 7 p.m. Tues.-Sun., starting at $63 plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782

SPOTLIGHT locals but the majority of people going out are the tourists. The comics themselves are also tourists. I think it’s harder in Vegas because if you go to Vegas the last thing you are thinking is, “I’m hoping I can catch a comedy show.” It’s very low on the list of things to do. And every time I go to Vegas, there’s another thing you can do. Like you can throw axes now. I never thought that was going to happen. And now you can. That actually seems like a natural fit to me. It is. Next time it will be throw an axe at the comic. But back to your question, I think this club is great for local people who work in the industry on weekends and have off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. They get a lot of really great comics coming out of New York and L.A. and you get a really good showcase show. You don’t see that much in Vegas anymore.
Dave Attell
Veteran comedian ready to make Vegas laugh Dave Attell, 54, is often referred to as a “comedian’s comedian.” He’s been a mainstay in mainstream stand-up comedy since the 1990s and has experienced success as a live performer and television personality. (His newest show, Bumping Mics, can be seen on Netflix.) He performs at the Rio on Feb. 18, and Las Vegas Magazine’s Jason Harris recently caught up with him. What’s exciting you these days as far as Vegas is concerned? I’m excited that there’s some club shows in

Vegas now. Most of the time I play there, it’s at bigger shows. I’m a club comic so it’s a better fit. It’s a cool gig. The Rio is classic. And the real selling point of the show is free parking. People should know that. Talk about the difference between The Comedy Cellar in New York and Las Vegas. In New York, there are a lot of tourists that come to the show, but it’s totally a different vibe. You have a million comics and comedy fans in New York, whereas in Vegas there are the hardcore
Did you think that all these years later, Insomniac (Dave’s comedic travelogue show on Comedy Central that aired from 2001-’04) would have such a cult following? Of all the things I’ve done, that’s the credit that made me. And I had no idea that it had that kind of following, especially when we were doing it. It wasn’t a runaway hit. I guess Comedy Central, back in the day, didn’t have algorithms or social media so you didn’t really know who was watching. I always thought it was for the core industry people—people who go out and drink and third-shift people and college kids. All these years later, it turns out it was the younger crowd, kids who couldn’t go out, kids in their teens. They’ll say, “I couldn’t even drive yet so I’d watch the show.” Or, “I’d sneak down after my parents fell asleep and watch the show.” When I run into them on the street, now they’re in their thirties and they come up to me and tell me what episodes they like. I really didn’t know it had that hold on people. Did you expect Bumping Mics to catch on with this momentum? I was blown away by how much attention this thing got. Jeff (Ross, Dave’s onstage partner in the show) saw it from the beginning. I’m very cynical. He’s more connected and said, “This is gonna be huge.” I didn’t know because of the way things are in the world. This thing is so unPC. We didn’t put a filter on it. It’s raw, straightup comedy. A lot of, I guess you could say, trigger words and all that.

Joust Having Fun The freewheeling fun of Excalibur Hotel & Casino is epitomized at Tournament of Kings, where knights battle with swords and joust on horseback while the audience cheers along while feasting on food sans silverware. “Fads come in and go out, but one thing that stays consistent is people’s attraction to the medieval era, to knights and the ideas of chivalry and swordplay,” says director Phil Shelburne. “There’s nothing more fun that sitting behind a group of kids and watching them wail on the table and yell and put on the Viking hat and wave a chicken leg in the air.” Tournament of Kings is a familyfriendly crowd-pleaser every time.

On the Rise Ella Mai never expected “Boo’d Up” to be a hit. The British R&B singer has released three EPs since 2016, and her most recent, Ready, was already being promoted with the single “Anymore.” But audiences and radio and club DJs latched on to the sweet, playful “Boo’d Up” instead, making it into a word-of-mouth hit that eventually climbed into the top 10 on the Billboard singles charts. In an era of carefully crafted release patterns for pop music, Mai found success the old-fashioned way, by recording a song that resonated with listeners, independent of what record labels and streaming services promoted. The song has even gone viral among fellow hip-hop

True to Form
Life Is Funny In the beginning of his 2016 one-hour special, Socially Unacceptable, Joey Diaz says, “Let me tell you a little story.” It is at this point the audience should take a deep breath and strap in. The comic was born in Havana but oozes North Jersey with every word, movement and action. “Uncle Joey” grew up in North Bergen, N.J., and is a character in a world of characters. In the same special, Diaz explains his persona to the crowd: “I’m like that uncle. Everybody’s got that uncle like me. He’s a little f***ed up. He did
some time. But he’s your mother’s brother. He borrowed $800 from your dad, never paid him back. He pawned Grandma’s wedding ring by mistake, but he’s f***ing solid. He’s got your back and sh*t.” Diaz is a charismatic storyteller, often recollecting being on the wrong side of the law and the crazy situations he found himself in while addicted to cocaine. Now clean, Diaz brings a ferocity to his performances. Like that uncle, you just want to keep going back for more because he’s so damn entertaining. –Jason Harris

It’s not often the chance comes along to catch a living legacy of Texas blues, but to the pleasure of their fans the Fabulous Thunderbirds continue to bring their take on the sound, shepherded by guitarists such as Freddie King and Lightnin’ Hopkins, more than four decades after forming. They were instrumental in honing a scene that begat Willie Nelson, Doug Sahm and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The Thunderbirds now feature David Moeller on guitar alongside founding member and swamp-blues harmonica master Kim Wilson, who sang on the band’s mid-’80s hits such as “Tuff Enough,” “Wrap It Up” and “Powerful Stuff.” Medical procedures Wilson underwent in October weren’t enough to keep the Thunderbirds off the road for long, and they were back playing concerts after the New Year. Their 2016 album Strong Like That features a cover of the Temptations’ “(I Know) I’m Losing You,”which was part of their set list at shows last year. –Matt Kelemen

Fresh and Fun Carson Kitchen is unprepossessing from the outside, but inside it runs to a hipster chic, and the menu follows that vibe, and many items change seasonally. Share brussels sprout Caesars salad with black kale to start, then try flatbread with earthy wild mushrooms and go on to the pork tenderloin with pretzels and sage-infused maple. Glazed doughnut bread pudding puts a twist on the classic dessert. –Nina King 124 S. Sixth St., #100, 702.473.9523

Motley Que pulled pork sandwich

Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar offers a hearty menu here’s something you need to let go of when you are eating at Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar at The Linq: those foodie pretensions that can sometimes keep you from truly enjoying your meal. There are no pretensions here, just good food with wild, fun names like The Pork Emporium, a

monster plate of house-smoked St. Louis ribs, maple bacon, andouille sausage and pulled pork, rounded out with a six-cheese macaroni and cheese. Fieri, who is probably best known for his Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, pulls in quality ingredients for his menu items, which rope in a wide range of flavors
from Thai to Southern and mix them with aplomb. That makes sure pretty much everyone can find what they want. An inventive cocktail will buy you enough time to thoroughly peruse the menu.

Slim Jims ... you name it. If you share an appetizer (sure, why not?), the Tuna Poke WonTacos give you a couple of bites apiece, with sashimi-grade tuna, a mango-jicama salsa and seaweed salad. Tempura-battered lobster lollipops come with cheese fries with roasted garlic and lemon aioli. That cheese is his SMC (super melty cheese), a saucy concoction of several kinds of cheese used in several places throughout the menu, including Trash Can Nachos, a Vegas favorite with house-smoked pork, as well as chipotle barbecue sauce. Fieri offers several burgers, such as the award-winning Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese Burger, which layers a patty with applewood bacon, six-cheese macaroni and cheese, that SMC and onion straws. It’s kinda messy, and that’s kinda the point. Just roll with it. The Original Ringer Burger has SMC, too, but a sriracha-spiced rojo onion ring and a signature bourbon-brown sugar barbecue sauce make it an entirely different experience. Vegetarians can opt for Morgan’s Veggie Burger, chock full of beans, jalapeños, oats and garlic ... all sorts of good things. Vegans can order the Vegas Vegan burrito from the “Lighter Fare” portion, but it’s still pretty huge. It may be a
healthy option, but coconut Thai curry sauce, guacamole and smoked sweet potatoes give it a powerful flavor. The Motley Que pulled pork sandwich features pork shoulder awash in the signature barbecue sauce, with aged cheddar on a hearty pretzel bun. For something lighter, lobster tacos contain tequila-lime lobster-tail and mango-radish slaw. If you somehow managed to go light with your meal, go big with dessert. Go really big.
The Cheesecake Challenge puts you to the test with an entire half of New York-style cheesecake piled with pretzels, hot fudge and potato chips. It’s like the sweet equivalent of the Trash Can Nachos. And for those who are of age (21-plus), the Seven-Layer Dark Chocolate Whiskey Cake makes a decadent ending to the meal. Not only is there rich frosting, but whiskey créme anglaise and salted whiskey caramel sauce add super-flavorful components to the dish.

Gino DiPietro
Nightlife director continues on path of success From actor Michael B. Jordan to basketball star Michael Jordan, Gino DiPietro has taken care of many high-profile clients as the director of VIP marketing for Jewel nightclub at Aria. “I’m a fan of the (celebrities) that I take care of, but when I’m here I’m taking care of them and hope to develop them from a bottle customer to actually becoming a friend to them,” DiPietro says. But the Maine native didn’t start off taking care of A-listers—he had to work his way up the ladder. It all started during college when he visited his brother who was already living and working in Las Vegas. “My brother was one of the pioneers in the nightlife industry,” says the Maine native. “One summer during college, he helped get me a promoter job at Jet nightclub. That’s when I got that first taste of how crazy

this industry was—that’s when I fell in love.” After graduation, DiPietro made the permanent move to Vegas in 2009. He worked hard, paid his dues at nightclubs across the Strip, moved up the ladder to management, and eventually helped open Omnia and Jewel nightclubs. “I take care of all the high-end clientele,” he says “… I have a rule when getting back to my clients: If I don’t get back to you within five minutes something’s wrong—I have to respond. It’s my reputation on the line and people trust me.” And DiPietro believes in the industry. “I’ve made lifelong friends; I’ve met my future wife; I have a career that I think has potential to grow. There’s no stopping the nightlife industry—and I have a ton of memories I’ll be able to share with friends and family forever.” –Kiko Miyasato
Have all eyes in the club on you when you order one of Jewel’s VIP bottle packages, like the Grey Goose package. The bottles are paraded out to your table by smoking-hot cocktail servers carrying sparklers, and even specially made signs, says DiPietro. The huge wall of LED screens behind the DJ booth can even display tailor-made messages that light up the room when bottles are brought out to your table. “We can really make it a special, personal experience for our guests,” says DiPietro. This week at Jewel nightclub, catch Lil Jon (Feb. 18), DJ Karma (Feb. 22) and Justin Credible (Feb. 23). –KM

Cocktail Heaven
Drinks take flight with inspired mixology Chef José Andrés’ Bazaar Meat (SLS, 702.761.7610) has established itself as nothing less than a Las Vegas restaurant institution, and the one factor that sets it apart from the many meat-centric dining destinations along the Strip is its uncommon creativity. In case you didn’t know, that ingenuity extends to the Bazaar beverage program, based in the allwhite, avant-garde Bar Centro. This masterful mixology spot has a new offering called Flight Unknown and it provides the talented bar staff a new opportunity to show their stuff.
They’ll create cocktails for you that redefine the definition of a cocktail, using various spirits and fresh-made ingredients to twist up classic flavors and combinations into something entirely new. You might experience Spanish sparkling wine confined in a single bubble, or a crisp Negroni amplified by an orange tea fog created with dry ice. Hopefully Bar Centro’s liquid nitrogen Caipirinha, a frosty and refreshing take on Brazil’s national cocktail, will find its way to the everyday menu once Vegas’ sizzling summer rolls around again. –Brock Radke
Named for a picturesque Iranian city long famed for poetry, flowers and wine, Shiraz (2575 S. Decatur Blvd., 702.870.0860) lives up to its evocative title with a vibrant menu of imaginative Persian, Pakistani and Indian cuisine. Aromatic herbs and spices elevate delectable dishes like Ghormeh Sabzi, beef stew with fenugreek leaves. Sizzling chicken shish kabobs are a must, as are Biryani entrées bursting with fragrant, fluffy rice. And the slow-braised lamb shanks are perfectly tender and redolent with saffron. The cocktail program is adventurous and the dessert selections are crowned with the ancient flavors of faloodeh, chilled vermicelli in rose petal syrup. –Greg Thilmont

Absolutely, especially now that Virgil’s Real BBQ (The Linq Promenade, 702.389.7400) is serving up its smoked meats along with weekend brunch dishes like biscuit egg sandwiches, steak and eggs and fried chicken with waffles. One of the stars of Virgil’s brunch menu is a take on biscuits and gravy with a country chicken-fried steak.

Making a Statement The Queen has more competition on the Strip nowadays with Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani and the coming Christina Aguilera residency, but if you think Mariah Carey (Caesars Palace, 866.227.5938) has any concern at the notion that any other Vegas headliners are in her league then you are clearly not a “lamb.” Lambs make sure there’s nary an empty seat when Carey holds court at Caesars
Palace during her The Butterfly Returns residency, especially now that she’s returning to the Colosseum on the heels of her critically acclaimed album Caution and No. 1 single “With You.” To find out whether you’re a lamb, a simple test is to search the Internet for current setlists of Strip headliners, maybe add Celine Dion and Jennifer Lopez, and see if Carey’s is the one

For Carey, that soundtrack includes chart-toppers such as “Honey,” “Shake It Off,” “Fantasy” and “Always Be My Baby.” She even reaches way back to early hits like “Vision of Love” and “Emotions,” showcasing the breadth of her chart dominance and proving that she still ranks among the best headliners on the Strip. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

GET THE FULL AUTHENTIC ITALIAN EXPERIENCE AT
E ATA LY The 37th location worldwide, Eataly in Las Vegas brings many beloved Italian staples to the strip, as well as a few new surprises. Here are a few of the experiences you won’t want to miss.
Gran Caffé Milano
La Pizza & La Pasta
Manzo
Gelato, Cannoli, & Nutella
Inspired by the elegant cafés of Milan, Gran Caffé Milano is an upscale, full-service bar offering Italian cocktails, regional wine, beer, and spirits. Casino-goers take note: a replica of the famous bull mosaic from Milan brings good luck to those who spin around on it three times.
Watch our dough-slinging pizzaioli craft Neapolitanstyle pizza and bake each one in our wood-burning brick ovens. Here you can also try Eataly’s signature pasta dishes featuring seasonal ingredients and bronze-extruded pasta from Gragnano in Southern Italy.
Meaning “beef” in Italian, Manzo is a vibrant butcherfocused restaurant with a producer-centric menu that celebrates meat of all kinds and an elevated wine menu. Come for the highquality meat and seasonal ingredients, and stay for the best Italian wine on the strip.
Don’t miss Eataly’s housemade Italian sweets, like gelato and sorbetto made fresh daily with high-quality ingredients like pistachios from Sicily and hazelnuts from Piedmont. Get a Sicilian cannoli filled to order, or grab a warm crepe or bombolone (Italian donut) slathered in Nutella.
Open daily from 11 a.m.–11 p.m.
Open daily from 5 p.m.–11 p.m.
Open daily from 11 a.m.–11 p.m.
The new concept is comprised of six counters in a single open space: La Macelleria (Butcher), La Pescheria (Fishmonger), La Pasta Fresca (Fresh Pasta), La Pizzeria, La Salumeria (cured meats and cheeses) and Italian Street Food. All you have to do is step up to a
counter, ask the staff for recommendations, and place your order. Feeling thirsty? There are also two bars full of regional Italian wines, draft beer, and cocktails.
Open daily from 12 p.m.–7 a.m.
La Cucina del Mercato A first in Eataly’s history, La Cucina del Mercato (literally meaning “kitchen of the market”) breaks down the barriers between the marketplace and the kitchen, allowing you to enjoy fresh ingredients cooked to
order, or—for those feeling adventurous—take them home.
Hours vary by counter. Most are open daily from 11 a.m.–11 p.m.
OPEN BAR In the sky PARTY IN OUR HAPPY HALF HOUR OPEN BAR CABIN COMPLETE WITH A BARTENDER AND 360° VIEWS. PURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE
