NOTES

From the Editor Very good signs

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a brand-new restaurant at the Flamingo: Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse. Trust me when I say that a new business on the Las Vegas Strip at this point in time is cause for serious celebration. After all, just a few months ago we saw the entire Strip shut down in the wake of COVID-19. As exciting as starting back up has been, the fact that our city is pushing ahead with new business is a very good sign.

My dining experience came at the same time as the beginning of Nevada’s mask mandate, and the difference from the last time I had visited the Strip was striking: Upon entering the property, I was greeted by a picture of Wayne Newton and a mask dispenser, indicating that Mr. Las Vegas wants everyone to wear a mask. I just have one word for the Caesars Entertainment marketing department: Genius! I don’t care what your stance on mask-wearing is: When Wayne Newton asks you to do something, who’s not going to sit up and pay attention?

My walk to the steakhouse was another very good sign: Everyone—and I mean everyone—I passed was wearing a mask. Yes, there were a few people who had pulled them down below their noses (#coveryournose!), but everyone else seemed to be enjoying their visit with safety in mind.

Bugsy & Meyer’s is a truly memorable experience, one I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for good food in an inspiring setting. Taking over the space previously occupied by Center Cut Steakhouse, Bugsy & Meyer’s starts you off in a very clever way: You enter through the back, just like the gangsters of yore used to do. In this case, the “back” is a bakery done in 1920-1930s style. As you continue, you pass windows through which you can see chefs preparing desserts, as well as samples of some of the dry-aged cuts available.

There’s also a raw bar where seafood towers are prepared, and the “Count Room,” where you can enjoy a classic cocktail like an Old-Fashioned.

The very good signs continued with the waitstaff. I asked my server how he felt about wearing a mask. He was candid: It was uncomfortable; at times it was difficult to breathe; and sometimes he had a hard time communicating clearly. But he also acknowledged that those aspects were a small price to pay for everyone’s safety.

And despite the mask, he could not have been more accommodating.

At a time when it’s easy to get lost in the big picture, it’s important to remember what a difference we can all make individually. Las Vegas, its employees, and you, our invaluable visitors, are doing just that.

Las Vegas. All casinos opening in Las Vegas were

required to submit their plan for reopening to the

Commission have been implemented, with every-

thing from casinos to guest rooms covered, so you

what’s been done to make your experience safer.

You may notice some guests (including yourself) headed straight to the elevators. That’s because contactless check-in is no longer a thing of the future. At MGM Resorts International properties, check in on your phone when you get close to the resort, and you’ll be able to pay and get a digital key. You can also check in with a contactless option on a kiosk and a more traditional front-desk option. Caesars Entertainment has rearranged front-desk areas and lines to accommodate social distancing, and provides hand sanitizer. Some hotels also have plexiglass installed at the front desk.

Hand sanitizer, everywhere! Every hotel that reopens is required to have stations for hand sanitizing throughout. MGM Resorts’ properties even offer new handwashing stations. You’ll notice that many employees are masked, and if their job requires it, gloved. This goes for those employees you see and those who labor behind the scenes, in restaurants, loading docks and other areas. Those employees undergo a health self-screening daily and most are also screened for temperature.

There may be a line, as guests are being asked to maintain adequate spacing between groups and to try to ride with their own party, or ride with fewer people. Employees often clean and sanitize the buttons and commonly touched areas inside the cars, and clean escalator rails.

Feel good in knowing your room has been thoroughly sanitized. Surfaces have been wiped down; and linens and towels completely changed out. You’ll probably find extra towels in your room, and can always request more if needed. You may not find little bottles of amenities but amenities are still available. Housekeeping and other guest services may not be entering your room unless requested, and at some hotels, won’t be entering during your stay.

Many venues have plexiglass at payment stations, and marks to encourage social distancing while waiting. In addition, fewer patrons may be allowed in at one time.

OK! It’s time to release a little tension, and maybe win a few bucks. Go grab some cash, and head to the floor. While you’re here, you’ll see a variety of measures being taken to increase social distancing, such as slot machines not being available right next to each other, congregating behind each other not allowed, a limited number of players at the tables and plexiglass partitions between dealers and players. You may be asked to step away from the game if you remove your mask to smoke. Casinos are required to have a plan to disinfect all the items needed to play, such as chips, cards, balls and dice.

There is a limit to the number of people allowed in the area and there is space between each party to encourage social distancing. Each area is sanitized between each party.

Most restaurants require reservations, although not all.

Many will text or call when your table is ready, saving you the hassle of waiting in line. You’re required to wear your face mask until you reach your table. It may feel much more intimate, as tables have 6 feet between them and the number of customers is fewer. Menus may be digital or one-time use paper menus. At some restaurants, permanent menus are sanitized between each use. Condiments won’t simply be stored on the table, and are sanitized between customers.

Bars will also be spacing patrons’ parties 6 feet apart.

.10. 7.12.20 6.14.20 LAS LASVEGAS VEGASMAGAZINE MAGAZINE

Although the number of attractions in Vegas isn’t as high as a few months ago, sanitation is still high on those that are open, and social distancing is easily seen. For instance, on New York-New York’s Roller Coaster, cars are loaded with the same party, and alternate cars will be empty.

One of the best ways is to check-out on the TV in your room, and hotels have been using this option for many years now. Look at your bill, OK it if all is correct, and get a copy emailed to you. If you have a physical key, most hotels will allow you to leave it in the room. Some hotels have check-out kiosks that are sanitized often.

While you’re here in Las Vegas, there are several things you can do to help keep yourself well and decrease the chances of you or someone else getting sick.

Give yourself a self-check before you arrive. Do you have a fever?

A cough? Is your sense of smell normal?

You must now wear your mask in public areas, including the casino. It helps stem the spread of potentially deadly viruses like

COVID-19. It’s also considerate of fellow guests and resort workers.

You’ll notice hand sanitizer stations. Give yourself a squirt before and after playing slots or the tables, and anywhere it seems you might need it (after touching elevator buttons,

6 feet from people other than your travel companions whenever possible. Common places that lines form will often be marked, making this easy. Be patient—even though you are 6 feet apart, you’ll still be moving.

Practice social distancing. Stay

Try not to touch your face.

Periodically, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, then rinse for 10 seconds.

You may receive personal size bottles of hand sanitizer in your room. Take those with you and use whenever it’s not practical to wash, or a hand sanitizer station isn’t close.

A Night in Milan Ambra Italian Kitchen + Bar combines modern sensibilities with classic, light dishes in a stunning atmosphere, said to resemble Milan at dusk.

To start, try a caprese with buffalo mozzarella or prime beef tartare. Follow it up with crispy squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta or a side of flavorful meatballs.

For your main course, enjoy chicken al limone, chicken Parmigiano, lasagna al forno or a Black Angus ribeye.

For pasta lovers, Ambra features such goodies as a half-moon ravioli with ricotta and flavors of citrus and fennel. Or dig into the bucatini carbonara, with pancetta, pecorino cheese and scallions.

The dessert menu offers several good options, like the classic tiramisu and bombolini, little Italian doughnuts served with Nutella. The lemon tart, filled with lemon curd and mascarpone, comes topped with meringue.

And if you like an after-dinner digestif, wait until you see the amaro cart. Aperol, Fernet Branca and Montenegro are just a few of the stellar offerings. –Nina King MGM Grand, 702.891.7600

Color Chameleon I know a girl who won’t eat green M&Ms. But she loves red, yellow and brown ones. And at M&M’s World at the Showcase Mall on the Strip, she can get whatever color she wants at the world’s largest candy wall, featuring M&Ms of every possible color. There is also an M&Ms printer, which lets you customize your chocolate candy treats with special messages and images. Plus, you can find boatloads of M&Ms merchandise as mementos of your experience. That girl? I’ll take all her unwanted greens. –NK 3785 Las Vegas Blvd. S. 702.740.2504

You’ll be given faux-fur coats or parkas (they clean them between uses) so you can handle the freezing temps, which might be a nice reprieve from the Vegas weather.

Check out impressive ice sculptures or kick back on seats made of ice. Yes, it’s wall-to-wall ice inside Minus5, from

the floor to the ceiling and everything in between. Sidle up to the bar made of ice, where bartenders whip up delicious specialty cocktails, all served in glasses made of ice.

For the Fun of It

Celebrity chef stresses quality and an all-around good time There are fewer more likable celebrity chefs than Michael Mina. In all of his restaurants here in Vegas and around the world, Mina is a perfectionist, but he also stresses the importance of fun in every aspect of a meal. And at his first steakhouse, StripSteak, Mina has nailed it.

Expect only the highest-quality here, from your meal to your servers. Mina just wants to make you smile, and once you try one of his signature appetizers—from the “instant bacon,” featuring five-spice pork belly, tempura oyster and green cabbage slaw, to the foie gras doughnut with a poached Bartlett pear, almond crumble and Noble maple syrup—we dare you not to.

.16. 7.12.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

And what’s a fun meal without a fun cocktail?

Start with a Gold Rush (Old Forester bourbon, honey syrup and lemon) or a season sangria (Grüner Veltliner, Pavan, Cointreau and peach).

Both are guaranteed to make you hungry!

Steak lovers will likely struggle trying to decide what to order. Mina has packed this menu with goodness, from ribeyes and New York strips to filet mignons and Australian tomahawks.

Oh, and there’s also a wagyu section, including Japanese A5, many meat lovers’ holy grail. Can’t decide? Try the World Wide Wagyu, featuring Japanese A5 New York, American rib cap and Australian short rib.

There’s also a lovely seafood selection, including Scottish salmon, Mediterranean sea bass and diver scallops. Elsewhere, enjoy free-range brick chicken, served with Benton’s ham, mushroom agnolotti and chanterelle mushrooms, and the Kurobuta pork chop, accompanied by Brussels sprouts, rice pilaf and whole grain mustard.

Don’t despair, vegetarians: Mina‘s got some mouth-watering salads, including a chicory salad with fresh herbs, apples, candied pecans and sherry vinaigrette, and a baby kale salad with shaved vegetables, beet “noodles,” sumac and pomegranate molasses. –Ken Miller Mandalay Bay, 702.632.7200

Take in the Nostalgia Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse exudes the glamour of old Las Vegas, from its décor to the menu of classics that just never get old. You get a bit of a nostalgic rush as you enjoy appetizers such as jumbo shrimp or jumbo lump crab cake, accompanied by an iceberg wedge salad or a lobster bisque.

Once you make your selection from the worldclass wine menu, the throwback rush continues as you pair your filet mignon or prime ribeye with wild mushrooms, creamed spinach, au gratin potatoes or asparagus, especially if you complement your steak with béarnaise or blue cheese bacon butter.

Seafood lovers will find much to enjoy, from a cold water rock lobster tail to fried lobster mac & cheese, made with cavatappi pasta and a 5-pound lobster tail. And, of course, there’s shrimp scampi, made with bucatini pasta in a garlic butter sauce. –Ken Miller Golden Nugget, 702.386.8399

If you’re brave and don’t fear the reaper, prepare for a taste explosion at Diablo’s.

Of course, those flavors will go down a lot better with some cocktail companionship, and Diablo’s features some great tequilas and

Appetizers like nachos and quesadillas are the perfect gateway for main courses like the enchilada combination (beef barbacoa, chicken and garlic shrimp) and Alambre tacos, made with filet mignon, chorizo, poblano peppers, cilantro, onion and what Diablo’s calls its “OMG cheese blend.”

You can also opt for fowl with Diablo’s chicken,

crispy wings served with that legendary Carolina Reaper sauce, celery and carrot sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese, or seafood with the Baja beer-battered fish tacos.

Your mouth could probably use a break by now, so choose from one of two tasty desserts: the churro funnel cake, served with cinnamon ice cream, strawberry marmalade, Nutella and chocolate sauce, or the fried platano split, a fried plantain topped with cinnamon ice cream, berries, condensed milk, chocolate and cajeta sauce. –Ken Miller Luxor, 702.262.5225

Who doesn’t love Americana? That retro, roadside diner feel has a universal appeal, and for good reason: It takes us all back to a simpler time. In today’s world, recapturing that feeling is worth its weight in gold. And you’ll find that feeling at Searsucker, where the specialty is American classic comfort foods in a setting full of Americana—coarse rope chandeliers, neon “Eat” signs, tumbleweed-shaped light fixtures and rustic wood-andmarble tables.

Start your experience here with a cocktail list that features some fun twists—the spicy pickled Mary features “michelada love” (get it?), lemon and firewater bitters; the margarita features hibiscus, lime and agave, and the martini utilizes dark chocolate and espresso. The PB&J Old Fashioned uses Redemption bourbon, fassionola syrup and strawberry/orange bitters.

There’s a lot of comfort to be found on the menu, but start with buffalo-style chicken lollipops served with blue cheese fondue and ranch dressing. Farms that supply the main courses include Desert Bloom, Cape Grim and Verlasso. No matter what you choose here, the quality is amazing, whether it’s Verlasso salmon, served with grilled broccolini and chimichurri, Mary’s chicken, accompanied by parsnip purée, root vegetables and natural jus, or 12-ounce, grass-fed, Cape Grim New York strip steak, served with smoked fingerling potatoes and herb butter. –Ken Miller

Natalie Allen

Bartender finds creativity behind the bar For Natalie Allen, life happened when she was busy making other plans—in a good way. For 14 years the Salt Lake City native was a professional hair and makeup artist, and when she moved to Las Vegas to further her career she worked her other skill, bartending part time.

After a handful of years doing both, it’s when she joined The Smashed Pig in 2018 that Allen discovered her passions had switched.

“I laugh about it now because hair and makeup was my full time and bartending was the side hustle and it quickly turned into my full-time hustle,” says Allen, who is now the gastropub’s lead bartender. “The Smashed Pig is the place that flipped my two passions. It was due to the environment. It was something fresh, something different for me. Which was exciting. … It’s nice to have something where I am excited to go to work, where I can be creative.”

While Allen talks fondly about the type of environment she gets to work in at The Smashed Pig, it’s also a place where she can put her skills and passions for spirits to the test.

She even has a few of her own cocktails on the menu. “I’m the bourbon girl,” she says. “It’s one of my favorite spirits. It reminds me of home— my dad and I would drink bourbon and smoke cigars together. When I started bartending, my Old-Fashioned game grew very quickly. I pride myself on my Old-Fashioneds.”

For Allen, another bonus about The Smashed Pig is its location—the flourishing downtown area, a neighborhood that Allen loves and makes her home, too. When she’s not behind the bar you’ll find her riding her vintage Schwinn bicycle and checking out all the art downtown. “I’m very inspired by the art in this city, how big of an arts city Las Vegas has become.” –Kiko Miyasato

A Mellow Day in the Sun

Experience a more relaxed pool scene at popular dayclubs While we wait for the return of the massive dayclub and nightclub parties Las Vegas is known for, there are three dayclub hot spots you can now revisit without fear of overcrowding and compromising your safety while soaking up sun. While the three dayclubs once welcomed wall-to-wall revelers, they’ve scaled back their capacity and toned down the experience without sacrificing any of the amenities and luxurious surroundings.

Wet Republic (pictured) at MGM Grand recently underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation, including an immersive audio-visual experience and posh upgrades to its bungalows, cabanas and daybeds. The dayclub spreads over 50,000 square feet, and guests can choose which way they’ll play for the day—to really

splurge, book one of the 12 new bungalows that are able to hold large groups comfortably, and enjoy private dipping pools and elevated views over the entire club. Guests can also beat the heat under the large lounge and bar area close to the DJ booth. Guests must be 21 and over and must make a reservation by calling 702.891.3563 or visiting wetrepublic.com.

For a more intimate experience without sacrificing safety, visit Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria. The dayclub has spaced out its daybeds and lounge chairs, but you can still book one right beside the pool’s cool waters. In an elevated area, you can go upscale by booking one of eight oversized cabanas, which share their own dipping pools. Liquid is also known for its indulgent food and specialty cocktail offerings, which can

be enjoyed under the spacious covered patio.

Again, guests must be 21+, and reservations are required by calling 702.590.9979 or visiting liquidpoollv.com.

The 50,000 square-foot dayclub, Daylight Beach at Mandalay Bay scales it back and now offers a high-end resort pool experience with top-notch service. With lounge chairs and tables spread out to ensure social distancing, guests can relax and unwind poolside or book one of the oversized cabanas with their own daybeds and private pools. Resident DJs keep the vibes chill and handcrafted cocktails and made-to-order dishes help sustain your day of upscale relaxation.

Sadelle’s brings iconic N.Y. dishes to fresh new location If you live in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, the name “Sadelle’s” always conjures a smile. Since opening there in 2015, the restaurant has won countless awards, and its bagels and smoked salmon quickly became a must-have item. And thanks to the efforts of Major Food Group, Sadelle’s now has a location in Las Vegas—it’s perfectly nestled just past the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, and all the elements that make it such a favorite in New York have been ported over.

The bagels themselves are about as good as you’re likely to find this side of the East Coast. They’re the result of hundreds of tests by the restaurant to get the balance just right. Trust us, you’ll be pleased with the results. And the smoked salmon that accompanies them is just the beginning of the journey—order the Sadelle’s Tower, where fish is served in tower form, with levels featuring house salmon, sable, sturgeon and whitefish and salmon salads.

It’s accompanied by bagels with tomato, cucumber, capers and cream cheese.

Whether you’re ordering breakfast or lunch here, there’s not a false note to be found anywhere. The breakfast offers plenty of your favorite comfort food classics, including eggs Benedict (add some of that house salmon—yum!) and heuvos

Freddy—shrimp, heart of palm, avocado, radish and crispy shallots— to the Beverly—turkey, cheddar, bacon, beets and juicy tomato.

Seafood lovers will be especially excited. Jonah’s Loaded Fish Tacos are exactly that, with cabbage and chiles complementing the lightly breaded and deepfried fish. Grilled branzino is served with sesame spinach, roasted salmon gets an accompaniment of asparagus and mustard vinaigrette, and the 2-pound lobster will have your tastebuds a-tingling with dijon, horseradish and drawn butter.

But if you’re looking for a marquee dish at Sadelle’s, it’s hard to beat the fried chicken, both flavor-wise and aesthetically. After being brined in Tabasco sauce, buttermilk and lemon zest for 12 hours, it’s coated and fried and served with coleslaw, honey and Crystal hot sauce. Get the cameras out!

Desserts are simple but oh so good.

Chocolate pudding is served with sprinkles, nuts and whipped cream to make this an interactive ending to the meal. The strawberry cake, 18 layers of strawberry and cakey goodness, make dessert a tea party.

The Forum Shops at Caesars

By Kiko Miyasato Still a little worried about being around too many folks?

Well, that’s OK, because we’ve rounded up nine great experiences where social distancing can easily be practiced while not sacrificing the fun.

Play more, pay less THIS TOWN HAS HISTORICALLY CATERED TO REGULAR PEOPLE. Think back to 1959 when the Golden Gate served 50-cent shrimp cocktails, or how in the old days one could see a popular entertainer in a casino lounge at no cost. Even today, Las Vegas casinos offer reasonably priced experiences, and some are even free. Fighting the temptation to splurge may prove difficult, but if you’re on a budget, you could easily spend a fantastic day in Las Vegas for under $100*.

Fremont Street Experience

Big Apple Coaster

The best part of waking up may not be Folgers in your cup, but it’s likely that coffee gets your motor running in the morning.

Head to Hazel Coffee & Cocktails (Mandalay Bay, 702.632.4760), where lattes range between $5-$6. For an extra $8-$13, add in a delicious breakfast sandwich. We’ll take the low end, where you could theoretically have a coffee and sandwich for $13.

If that coffee doesn’t have you feeling jazzed, take a short walk to New YorkNew York, where The Big Apple Coaster (702.740.6616) will get your adrenaline pumping. For $19, get your fill of twists, turns and loops. After your ride, dine at Sirrico’s Pizza (702.740.6969) at Village Street Eateries inside the hotel, where you can grab a massive slice of cheese pizza for $5.

As promised, several experiences in Las Vegas are free. Head center Strip to Bellagio.

There you can experience the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, a quiet garden designed by talented horticulturalists, and the Fountains of Bellagio, the iconic water show choreographed to popular songs.

But who says you can’t feel like a high roller? Down at The Linq Promenade, the High Roller Observation Wheel (702.322.0593) is undeniably high at 550 feet, and it does indeed roll, spinning in one full revolution every half hour. A $21 daytime ticket offers some of the greatest views of the city.

When the ride is over, grab a quick dinner at Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips (702.322.0529). While the celebrity chef is known for his high-end restaurants, his grab-and-go option offers a delectable fish and chips platter for only $16.

In the evening, the bright lights of the Strip offer the best free show in the city. Make it better at the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck at Paris (888.727.4758). A journey to the top is $22. As an added bonus, the tower performs a free light show every half hour from sunset until midnight.

At this point, you’ve exhausted your budget, but there’s one last thing you can do. Long known as a great place to people watch and explore Old Vegas, Fremont Street Experience is also home to the free Viva Vision light show, which plays on the canopy above. With nearly 50 million LED lamps and a 600,000-watt sound system, the show might be a bit overwhelming, but you’ll feel comforted knowing your pocketbook survived Vegas relatively unscathed. *Transportation, tip and tax are not included. Prices are subject to change.

Nobu Villa is the 10,300-square-foot crown jewel of boutique Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace

FLAWLESS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, wall to wall and indoors to outdoors, the Japanese-inspired Nobu Villa exceeds all expectations of luxury living. With 5,600 square feet of indoor space— three bedrooms and four baths, common areas consisting of a media room, a sitting room, a formal dining room, a game space with pool table and an omakase sushi bar for private dining— the Rockwell Group-designed rooftop villa is only reached by private elevator.

The 4,700-square-foot terrace, accessible through three different points from the villa, affords breathtaking views of the city lights up and down Las Vegas Boulevard and beyond. Outdoor living is easy with two shaded sitting-room spaces, daybeds and lounge chairs, with a hot tub inspired by a Japanese onsen tucked into a nook for more privacy.

Entertaining at Nobu Villa is divine, with an assortment of settings to choose from. With the 24-hour butler service, butler’s kitchen and pantry, guests are waited on hand and foot. Those who don’t want to dine downstairs at the famed Nobu restaurant can dine in the villa, where sushi chefs are able to whip up any dish from the Nobu menu. Guests can also celebrate on the terrace: The outdoor kitchen and bar—complete with robatayaki grill—make it the perfect spot for a party.

Relaxation comes easy in the two outdoor covered living spaces, complete with sofas, lounge chairs, ceiling fans, flat screen TVs and adjustable lighting.

.32. 7.12.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Throughout the entire villa, Japanese-inspired art pieces hold the gaze of guests, including an eight-panel art installation in the entry hall by Brooklyn artist Jill Hotchkiss.

Each of the delicate scenes are sandblasted into wood and depicts a Japanese landscape outlined in gold paint. The two guest rooms, each with its own private bath and vanity, get lush touches of custom hand-painted wallpaper by De Gournay, with pastoral scenes including cherry blossoms and other foliage.

The master bedroom celebrates the tranquil side of the Nobu lifestyle while incorporating the most lavish features. The master suite comes with an en suite massage room, and French doors lead out to the expansive terrace with the Zen garden and hot tub. Adjacent is the master bath, reminiscent of a private spa with giant soaking tub, oversized shower, double vanity, sauna room and Japanese-style daybed.

FEATURED PROPERTY

‘Wow!’ Factor

Summerlin property has everything you want and much more To say that this fully furnished model at Granite Heights in Summerlin has a “wow!” factor seems a considerable understatement.

From its magnificent Strip views to its countless amenities, this property, built by Toll Brothers and listed by Paul Conforte with Xpand Realty, incorporates several cutting-edge concepts into one comfortable property.

This 3,496-square-foot, one-story home combines modern and contemporary design throughout. Soaring ceilings in the two-story

great room (16 feet high!) offer a fantastic space to just meditate, read or engage in some good, old-fashioned conversation. Those ceilings contrast with elaborate glass sliding doors, which lead to a backyard (don’t worry, no rear neighbors to spoil your privacy) with a built-in barbecue, disappearing edge pool and private in-ground spa with waterfall. This is the kind of space where you’ll probably want to spend most of your time—it’s simply too nice to ever want to leave!

If you’re into entertaining, get ready: The courtyard and covered patio, complete with lots of seating, guarantee your party guests will be more than comfortable whenever you feel like hosting. The kitchen includes a large pantry area, perfect for stocking up for those large parties, and the two-story dining room (also with a 16-foot-ceiling) is a great space to bring the party inside on those hot summer nights. It also features an island with two sinks for a high level of convenience.

LVING

With four bedrooms, this is a perfect space for the average family. And with four and a half baths, there’s never going to be a fight to see who gets the first shower. Every room throughout this gorgeous home has custom cabinets to maximize storage space. However much you bring with you when you move, odds are you will have zero difficulty finding someplace to put it.

Family visiting in from out of town? Problem solved. This model has a guest quarters with its own garage that has a door made of glass. (Just

in case you needed any more of a “wow!” factor.) The guest quarters also has its own private courtyard, separate from the rest of the house, allowing tenants to enjoy both the outdoor living space and interior living space.

The real piece de resistance here is the master bedroom suite. In addition to a large walk-in closet offering all the space you’ll ever need for your wardrobe, the suite has a corner multislide door that opens to a magnificent view. To see this in action almost sells the house by itself.

It also has an upgraded bathroom with a large walk-in shower, large Roman tub and other impeccable touches throughout.

Need more? How about easy access to Oak Leaf Park (complete with playground and pickleball court) and the Summerlin trail system?

You’d also be in the district for top-rated Summerlin public and private schools like Bishop Gorman high school. –Ken Miller 6226 Petroglyph, $2,299,995, 702.308.9670. License No. S.0071850
