NOTES

From the Editor Under the microscope

Nevada is definitely a focal point in national news these days. It makes sense when you think about it: The entire world comes here to relax and forget about its troubles, so when the nation tries to reopen in the wake of a pandemic, Nevada—and specifically Las Vegas—becomes a template in how to best accomplish that while still keeping everyone safe. After all, everyone wants to come here, so everything we do is under the most intense of microscopes.

I wish I could say it’s all good news, but Nevada is in the same situation as other states. Despite a mandate to wear masks

by Gov. Steve Sisolak, many are still resistant. Still worse, many insist on congregating in large numbers in small spaces without said masks.

However, the outlook is much better on the Las Vegas Strip, where the mask policy is being strictly enforced. There are also many safety protocols in use to ensure cleanliness, and bars in Nevada are currently closed until our COVID-19 numbers begin to decline.

If you’ve made the decision to visit Las Vegas at this moment in time, the good news is that there’s plenty to enjoy here while feeling safe. This week’s issue is chock-full of such options, not to mention plenty of introductions to personalities that are helping to reshape our city in the

new normal. Check out our Q&A with chef Lamar Moore, a Food Network veteran who’s leading the charge at Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse at Flamingo; or get to know Nate Hedlund, the beverage director at Sahara Las Vegas.

If food is your first love, good luck choosing from the variety you’ll find in this week’s issue—from the offerings at the newly reopened Bally’s to our Vegas 9s feature showcasing restaurants where dinner is a production. We’ll also take you on a tour of steak tartare (and show you how to do it yourself at home).

That safety element I referred to earlier? You’ll discover exactly how safe some offerings are with our rundown of KAMU Ultra Karaoke at The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo.

No matter your expectations, odds are this new attraction will far surpass them.

We also want to whet your appetites for when you return, which is why we’ve offered a walk-through for the soon-to-open Circa downtown. Trust us, you’ll want to come back when this property opens.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who continues to support our city in this difficult time. We are making strides toward progress, and until this crisis is completely past us, you are what makes the biggest difference. Enjoy your stay!

A Dinner Spectacular It’s a night of old-school glitz and glamour at The Mayfair Supper Club. A true throwback to the days of supper club ambiance, it’s more than just a meal, it’s an experience.

The Mayfair’s dining room is reminiscent of Old Hollywood, with a stage set in the center of the room where live singers entertain with both classic and modern music.

With live shows on hold in Las Vegas, this is one way guests can be entertained without sacrificing safety.

The food and drink offerings are equally stellar. Dine on classic steakhouse starters like a seafood tower, caviar service, wedge salad, tuxedo scallops, oysters and shrimp cocktail. Move on to entrées including prime rib, filet mignon and branzino, or supper club classics like lobster thermidor and roasted chicken. There are also sushi selections like the spicy tuna roll, wagyu and caviar hand roll, and hamachi crudo. Desserts include sweets like strawberry cheesecake and black forest cake.

Don’t forget about the cocktails, too, with classics like the melonball, lemon drop martini, Manhattan and champagne cocktail. Cheers! –Kiko Miyasato Bellagio, 702.693.8876

The interactive exhibition gives fans a look at classic characters like Captain America, Thor, Hulk and Iron Man. Explore the history of how the group came to be, their uniforms and weapons,

and the science that supports them, all in an environment that stimulates the senses.

At the end, you get to save the world in an interactive shoot-out with the bad guys.

You can also pick up a free mask for adults or children at the entrance. –Nina King Treasure Island, 702.894.7626

You’ve probably had some epic fights with your siblings, but did your quarrels ever threaten the future of your civilization? That’s the scene in the Fall of Atlantis animatronic show at The Forum Shops at Caesars. Between his pesky, squabbling children, King Atlas needs to choose his successor. His son and daughter fight for their father’s throne, showing off impressive feats involving water, fire and fury. But the King’s dilemma proves to be too great, and he leaves the decision for the people to decide. What could possibly go wrong there? –Alex Haase The Forum Shops at Caesars, 702.893.4800

New Kid On the Block

Circa bringing a fresh look to downtown It’s not often that Downtown Las Vegas steals the spotlight from the Strip, but there’s a flashy new kid on the block at Fremont Street that deserves everyone’s attention: The highly anticipated opening of casino mogul Derek Stevens’ latest resort, Circa, is almost here. When it opens on Oct. 28, it will be the first resort built from the ground up to open downtown since 1980, and it’s a welcome addition. Another perk: The resort is adults-only. The property is catered, and restricted, to those 21 and older. Moreover, imagine Circa as a 21st-century resort that embodies the spirit of Old Vegas, circa 1960.

Although its opening is more than two months away (room reservations begin Dec. 28), it’s not too early to start planning your vacation around

.10. 8.9.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

the amenities to be offered at Circa. First, they will boast one of the most eclectic beverage programs in town.

There’s Mega Bar, a 165-foot-long bar on Circa’s first floor; Circa Bar, a vibrant outdoor bar along the famed Fremont Street Experience featuring 24 frozen cocktail flavors; Overhang Bar, which overlooks the casino’s massive sports book; Vegas Vickie’s, an upscale lobby bar named after, and starring, one of the city’s most beloved neon signs; and Legacy Club (opening in December), a rooftop lounge that pays tribute to the founding fathers of Vegas.

Then expect some good eats. Victory Burgers & Wings, Project BBQ and the pan-Asian restaurant 8 East will be among the first restaurants to

open, but the crown jewel will be one of Vegas’ longtime favorite chefs Barry Dakake’s vintage steakhouse, Barry’s Downtown Prime.

As for the adults-only fun mentioned earlier, Circa will sport Stadium Swim, a year-round pool experience that includes six pools across three levels, multiple swim-up bars, spacious private cabanas, selfie walls and an impressive 40-foot HD television screen. Then, inside the casino, get ready to place some large bets at the World’s Largest Sports Book, which is no exaggeration. Not only is there a mammoth 78-million-pixel screen, but the three-story sports book can hold up to 1,000 spectators. Let’s just say, we can’t wait for Circa. –Alex Haase 702.247.2258 or circalasvegas.com

A Night to Remember Looking to spend a night out where the ambiance is sleek and sexy and the cocktails are elevated with high-quality ingredients? The Dorsey tops the list of options in Las Vegas, thanks to its stunning setting and cocktail menu created by world-renowned veteran bartender Sam Ross.

The cocktail menu is divided into fun categories like light & bright, conversation pieces, bubbly, and stirred & boozy (pictured). The last category includes standouts like the Secret Agent, a mix of bourbon, apricot, allspice and chocolate bitters, or the Six Figure Cocktail with mezcal, blanc vermouth, yellow chartreuse and orange bitters.

Go for one of Ross’ classic concoctions like the Penicillin, made with Scotch, fresh lemon, ginger, honey and Islay float, the Coney Island Express with rum, cold brew coffee, vanilla and Amaro-Ciociaro and the Fallin’ Rain with bourbon, apple brandy, lemon, pineapple, honey and egg white.

There are also wines and champagnes by the glass, craft beer options and bottle service. Guests can also order light bites like poached and chilled jumbo shrimp, a crudites platter and open sandwiches. –Kiko Miyasato The Venetian, 702.414.1945

Très Magnifique!

Inspired by the French countryside and French landscaping, Voie Spa offers nature-inspired treatments and surroundings.

The Fleur de Sel Massage uses moderate pressure techniques to relax muscles and rose-colored thermal salt stones to exfoliate the skin. The Aromatherapy Voie Custom Massage incorporates oil scents from different regions—lavender from Provence, jasmine from French Polynesia and sweet orange from Corsica. For a more intense

experience, book the Signature Sound Therapy Aroma Massage, which uses sound emissions with alternating tones and frequencies to stimulate energies.

Other treatments include scalp and foot therapy and a leg revival treatment.

Add-ons include hand and foot paraffin treatments, and guests can also add time so the therapist can spend additional time on targeted areas. –KM Paris, 702.946.4366

Sweet Life As the saying goes, life is like a box of chocolates: You never know which one you’re going to get.

But since the pandemic began, life has often felt like a big ol’ box of Raisinets. Thankfully, Hershey’s Chocolate World is here to make life feel a little sweeter. The two-story, 13,000-squarefoot attraction and store is filled wall-to-wall with your favorite sweet treats, offering more than 800 types of chocolates and candies. You’ll even find an 800-pound chocolate Statue of Liberty (which, sadly, you cannot eat) and a room dedicated to all things Reese’s. –Alex Haase New York-New York, 702.437.7439

Choose Wisely

No matter your preference, steakhouse has what you want Steak is like an aphrodisiac for some people, and like an aphrodisiac, what works for some doesn’t work for others. But at Ruth’s Chris Steak House, you’ll find a lot to fall in love with.

The restaurant features much more than steak, of course, like starters of barbecued shrimp in white wine and garlic; a blue crab stack; a mammoth chilled seafood tower of lobster, blue crab, crab legs and jumbo shrimp; and veal osso buco ravioli with saffron-infused pasta.

Salads include a classic Caesar, and the harvest salad, with a variety of greenery, tomatoes, roast corn and cherries; and it would be hard to resist a lobster bisque if you’re in the mood for soup.

.14. 8.9.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

For your entrée, choose stuffed chicken breast, free-range bird with a double breast portion; marinated lamb chops; or Chilean sea bass, pan-roasted with a coconut-citrus butter and sweet potato and citrus hash (now that’s a little better than a lightly fried fish filet, eh?). The steakhouse can accommodate vegetarians, so ask your server for details.

For dessert … but wait, you say, what about the beef? Don’t worry, there are plenty of options to excite your culinary passions, and the menu gives a little detail for you to consider before grilling your server on specifics, such as the fact the New York strip will be firmer than a ribeye,

and the ribeye will be a well-marbled piece of beef. Other cuts to choose from include the 8or 11-ounce filets, the 24-ounce T-bone or the 40-ounce porterhouse for two. The specialty cuts include the bone-in filet, bone-in New York Strip and the always-impressive tomahawk.

Classic accompaniments and sides will round out your experience.

And yes, there are desserts! Goodies range from crème brûlée to banana cream pie. Accompany that with an after-dinner coffee, port or cognac and your evening is sure to end in satisfaction. –Nina King Harrah’s, 702.693.6000

Italian Getaway Almost everyone loves pizza, and pasta runs a close second. At Sixth + Mill Ristorante, Pizzeria and Bar in The Grand Canal Shoppes, you can get some of the very best Italian delights. The arancinotto are a good starter, bell shaped-arancini with pork and beef along with the rice and cheese. Then get the Vince, one of Sixth + Mill’s most-lauded pies, laden with mozzarella and burrata cheeses, mortadella, pistachio and orange zest—or check out a pasta option like ravioli, filled with fior di latte cheese and covered in a lemon cream sauce. –Nina King The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo, 702.414.1227

Go Big When you dine at Salt & Ivy for breakfast or lunch, you can keep it low-key, with such goodies as steak and eggs, waffles or avocado toast. Perhaps you want something a little out of the norm, with such things as a poke bowl, the Impossible burger or a lobster roll. There are plenty of healthy juices as well.

Or you could get the incredible Dutch baby pancake. This comes to your table in a sizzling cast iron pan, with the huge,

Salt & Ivy serves up three types, the Heavenly Veggie, with a sunny-side up egg, roasted veg and buffalo mozzarella; the Serrano ham and Mahon cheese, with an egg and a romesco sauce; and the blueberries and lemon curd. And although it sounds like breakfast, order this at the end of your lunch and it would make a spectacular dessert. –NK Aria, 877.230.2742

Nate Hedlund

A world away, beverage director finds success From the farm life to the neon lights. “When you’re a kid growing up where I did, you didn’t have a lot to do except for drink beer and go ice fishing,” says Nate Hedlund, beverage director for Sahara Las Vegas. “When you’re drinking Busch Light and talking with your buddies and saying, ‘How awesome would it be to get paid to be in beverage?’ And you dream of this glory job. Then once I moved out here and got introduced to wine and beverage and saw there’s actually a path to do this, I wanted to be in the business.”

Born and raised in Northern Minnesota, Hedlund and his family were turkey and beef farmers. From the crack of dawn it was riding tractors and cutting hay. To celebrate his 21st birthday, he visited Vegas, and from that moment it was his goal to live and work in Sin City.

Hedlund moved to town in 2007. “When you grow up on a farm, sitting by yourself all day, Vegas is on the other side of the planet, and I

wanted to be a part of that.” With no connections in town, Hedlund got hired at Mandalay Bay through a temp agency–eventually he got hired full time and his career took off. With lots of hard work and gumption, he worked his way up the ladder, was promoted to titles like wine director and beverage manager, helped launch beverage programs for multiple properties, and in February of last year he joined Sahara.

“It’s been more than 10 years in hospitality,” he says. “I’ve been a beverage director for four properties now. I’ve worked in every category of beverage. Given all types of budgets, programs, corporate, non-corporate–and still my favorite part is watching a guest try a drink and say, ‘This is really good,’ or ‘This is delicious.’ ... when I hear that there’s just no better compliment.”

What about the next 10 years? Answers Hedlund, “Some day I want to be the property president. … Yes, that’s definitely a dream.” Not bad for a kid from the farm. –Kiko Miyasato

Sing It Loud!

New karaoke club lets everyone be a musical sensation One of the best things about Vegas is that there’s always something new to experience, like KAMU Ultra Karaoke. The newly opened entertainment experience allows you to channel your inner Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake and impress your family and friends to boot.

When you enter KAMU in the Palazzo Tower wing of The Grand Canal Shoppes, you’ll pass through a thermographic disinfecting door, which includes a disinfecting vapor that’s already in use in other parts of the country, as well as temperature screening and UV lights. You’ll get a disposable microphone cover and hand sanitizer.

The 17,000-square-foot venue features 40 socially distanced suites and private rooms,

.17. 8.9.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

which can accommodate from six to 40 folks at a time. (They are sanitized after every group.)

Each room has a different, exotic or fun theme, from the Circus Suite to the Milky Way Suite.

After you are escorted to your room, whet that appetite with selections from KAMU executive chef Marty Lopez, who has been in the Vegas culinary scene for years. Offerings include a 40-ounce tomahawk steak, Korean fried chicken, kalbi tacos and, for the lighter appetite, tuna tataki salad and prosciutto and mozzarella flatbread. Dessert? Try honey toast or a massive sundae. To accompany your dishes, you’ll find a range of cocktails and even bottle service.

If you’re shy or just tone-deaf, the small gathering suites may be just what you need to feel

comfortable. And what will you choose to sing?

With KAMU’s large library of hits to select from, you’re sure to find something appropriate (or possibly inappropriate; you’ll need to get feedback from your group to tell!). The venue also allows you to sing from your own music library, and even stream music from your phone.

Room prices start at $50-$70 depending on the time, and although walk-in groups are allowed, a reservation will make sure you don’t need to wait. Time slots begin at 6 p.m. (children are allowed from 6 p.m.-8 p.m.), and are available all night through 8 a.m. –Nina King The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo, kamukaraoke.com or 702.445.7664

Keeping It Casual

Some of your favorites return to the Strip A wide array of casual dining options are back in business on the Strip thanks to the recent reopening of Bally’s Las Vegas. Inside the casino resort, a French interpretation of an American classic leads the way at Burger Brasserie (702.946.4346). Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, this lively destination specializes in wings, salads, sandwiches and shakes to go along with artfully topped, expertly grilled burgers.

Bally’s is also serving up Mexican favorites like

fajitas, enchiladas and tableside guacamole at Tequila Taqueria (702.765.0000) and familiar, homey Italian fare at the friendly Buca di Beppo (702.583.6262).

But there’s much more deliciousness outside the front doors. The eclectic eateries of the Grand Bazaar Shops await, a smorgasbord of fun food in a vibrant outdoor mall environment.

Take a break from browsing the stores with a crispy, juicy snack at Blue Ribbon Fried

Chicken (702.800.0404) or a mouth-watering take on Los Angeles-style street food at Dirt Dog (702.586.9300). The reality TV restaurant Wahlburgers (702.405.9090) and the deep-dish pizza experts at Giordano’s (702.850.2420) round out the Grand Bazaar’s tastiest offerings.

plethora of dynamic dining destinations. Head west to Downtown Summerlin, neighboring the Red Rock Resort and the Las Vegas Ballpark, and make the rounds at casual hot spots like California Pizza Kitchen (702.978.5759), Earl of Sandwich (702.750.2005), Shake Shack (702.964.1025) and Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar (702.727.4784). Homegrown restaurants like MTO Café (702.982.0770) and Makers & Finders (702.586.8255) bring some local flavor to breakfast and lunch, while longtime westside institution Grape Street Wine Bar (702.478.5030) offers all your favorite pours alongside entrées like penne alla vodka and grilled salmon in tarragon butter sauce.

Downtown Summerlin’s dining arroyo is also home to the first-of-its-kind Wolfgang Puck Players Locker (702.202.6300), an upscale sports bar with cuisine and style influenced by the celebrity chef’s partners on this special project, members of the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team.

Patio dining is obviously big right now, and the Vegas valley has plenty of alfresco options.

Just blocks away from Summerlin is North Italia (702.507.0927), where locals flock to an expansive outdoor area for fresh burrata with crispy pancetta and pizzas topped with roasted mushrooms and smoked mozzarella cheese. Just across the street at Tivoli Village, steakhouse Echo & Rig (702.489.3525) serves farm-totable cuisine for lunch, brunch and dinner with a second-story patio overlooking the luxurious, Tuscan-inspired mixed-use development.

Back on the Boulevard, Wynn and Encore offer several dramatic outdoor escapes including the romantic space at Sinatra (702.770.5320) and the regal waterside patio at Costa di Mare (702.770.3305), which just happens to pair perfectly with its unique menu of rare Italian seafood.

At Mandalay Bay, some of the city’s all-time best Mexican food is best enjoyed outside overlooking the resort’s tropical beach oasis at Border Grill (702.632.7403). Try the weekend brunch with bottomless mimosas and chilaquiles, huevos rancheros or Peruvian drunken French toast. And Bellagio’s restaurant patios all have ideal fountain views, naturally, but it’s hard to top the centrally located Lago by Julian Serrano (702.693.8865).

Entertainers and shows we can’t wait to see again Yes, Las Vegas reopened following an initial total shutdown in March. But there remains a huge void in the city’s heart: entertainment (and as of deadline, no shows or entertainers had announced return dates). So while we sit patiently and wait for our favorite shows and entertainers to return, let us remind you of just a few reasons why our Strip is considered the Entertainment Capital of the World.

Purple Reign

“X” Burlesque

Lady Gaga Her Park MGM residency singlehandedly redefined what a Las Vegas show could be. Not only does she play multiple instruments and sing her lungs out, Gaga engages in physical stunts that suggest she might have wanted to be a stuntwoman at one point. There’s just so much to look at here; this is a show many fans will be attending multiple times just to make sure they saw everything.

Piff the Magic Dragon From his early days appearing in Rose.

Rabbit.Lie at The Cosmopolitan to his star-making turn on America’s Got Talent (he now refers to himself as “The Loser of America’s Got Talent”), Piff’s appeal lies almost exclusively in his personality.

True, he’s very dry and at times standoffish, but he’s brilliant at one-on-one conversations with his audience members during his show at the Flamingo.

The fact that he’s a great magician just sweetens the deal. And we love, love, love Mr. Piffles!

Purple Reign Jason Tenner embodies the spirit and physicality of Prince to perfection at this Tropicana Las Vegas show, taking his audience on a trip through the music

legend’s greatest hits. But this is no mere tribute act: Tenner plays his own instruments and busts some serious moves.

KÀ This Cirque du Soleil spectacular at MGM Grand defies description. Its “stage” is an ever-evolving, constantly rotating, inclining, rising and falling marvel of technology, and as its story of royal twins fighting to find their way back home, it becomes the perfect tableau for all the trials and tribulations they face.

David Copperfield I’ve seen this show at MGM Grand only once, but to this day it remains one of my most vivid memories of Las Vegas entertainment. From start to finish, Copperfield’s illusions had my jaw on the floor, my mind racing to comprehend what was happening in front of (and in some cases, behind) me. He’s a master showman who’s ascended to the top of his profession. He deserves every accolade he gets.

“X” Burlesque This long-running Flamingo all-female topless revue is a perfect blend of sultriness and dance production. These ladies are serious athletes who have endless

“X” Burlesque photo by Edison Graff, Purple Reign photo by Christopher DeVargas

energy as they whip and grind their way through current and classic rock hits. There’s also some comedy half-way through. This is just pure, unadulterated fun.

The Magic of Jen Kramer She was a huge hit on the TV show Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and it’s easy to see why: She’s so charming and nice, it’s easy to be disarmed. One moment, she’s all smiles and sweetness; the next, you’re blinking in astonishment at what she just did. This is a show the entire family can enjoy; just don’t be surprised if your children decide they want to become magicians afterwards.

LAMAR MOORE IS HEAD CHEF at one of the Las Vegas Strip’s most exciting new restaurants, the eclectic Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse at the Flamingo. The dynamic eatery pays tribute to the hotel’s historical legacy in several ways, including a hidden speakeasy known as the Count Room and an old-school bakery façade. But the menu blends vintage Vegas favorites with fresh, modern flavors, and that’s where Moore comes in. He was awarded with his gig by winning the Food Network’s Vegas Chef Prizefight reality competition show, filmed right here on the Strip, and the experienced chef can’t wait to continue the momentum at the new restaurant and his own personal culinary evolution.

Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse was already one of the most anticipated new restaurants coming to the Strip, but with current circumstances, it seems like the opening is even more exciting.

I would agree. We’ve been able to take care of our guests one by one while social distancing and we’re pretty spread out in the kitchen as well, finding ways to maximize taking care of our food and beverage and service. As this thing comes to an end, I think some of these systems we’ve established will definitely stay in place.

Bringing sanitary practices to a higher level heightens our ability to execute better.

You’re from Chicago and so is the restaurant’s design company, Studio K. Is there a little bit more of that city’s style influencing the experience here in Las Vegas?

I think so. As I get more acclimated to Las Vegas—we’ve only been open for about a month—there should be more additions to the menu that are more inclusive to myself and some things I can bring from Chicago that I think Vegas would like to see. And there are people looking for items they saw on the show that were successful during the competition so I’d like to integrate some of those items, too, and put a little more Chicago love on there.

Of course, you won Vegas Chef Prizefight to earn your spot on the Strip.

What surprised you about that TV experience?

A lot of those shows have you going to some restaurants but competing more in one central place, which we did in every episode, but I was surprised at how many of the Caesars restaurants we were able to

cook at. It was great and now that I’m (here) I realize that gave me a real bird’s-eye view of what we do as a company. It really gave me a heads-up of what Vegas is all about.

You knew you wanted to be a chef from a very young age, cooking and tasting food with your grandmother at home.

Was there a moment in your career when you defined your own cooking style or discovered your own food?

That happened for me about five years ago (when) I took an opportunity to work at a barbecue restaurant as a partner and help that company change and get the food how I wanted it to be. That really helped me find my culinary point of view and where it was going because I started to hone in on dishes I grew up on. An example of that and one of the biggest dishes I did on the show was fried chicken, which I always enjoy cooking and do it very differently. I put rice flour in my mix which comes from time I spent in Peru, where they fry things a little lighter.

It’s really about taking everything I’ve learned and honing in on my point of view.

What are some of your favorite dishes on the Bugsy & Meyer’s menu?

I really love the lobster mac and cheese and you can’t go wrong there. The crab cake is super light and has a summer feel to it.

The shortrib is outstanding with gnocchi, wild mushrooms and a really great jus. And I’m a big fan of the tomahawk steak, especially if you’re looking to share something, and we like to do it with our bacon and eggs steak topper. I enjoy eggs day and night and this is like a cool little secret on the menu.

We throw on some of our house dry-aged pork belly with maple glaze and a sunny side-up egg.

Hand-cut Prime beef tartare at Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse

By Ken Miller

Steak tartare is a dish whose time has arrived .26. 8.9.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Steak tartare used to be the Rodney Dangerfield of the food world—it got no respect. In fact, it spent quite a lot of time being the brunt of jokes, including a particularly cruel bit courtesy of Mr. Bean, in which the titular character spends his entire meal trying to hide the dish in question wherever he can find space on the table, rather than just telling his server he really doesn’t want to eat it. Those days are fully in the rear-view mirror. Savvy diners know that

Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse photo by Anthony Mair

not only is steak tartare a must-try dish at higher-end restaurants, it can often define the dining experience.

On its face, the dish can seem deceptively simple: It’s traditionally made with raw ground beef and served with any number of ingredients, from onions and Worcestershire sauce to capers and pepper. But take one bite of steak tartare at any of Las Vegas’ top steakhouses, and you’ll realize that description falls short. The only limits to steak tartare here are the chefs’ imaginations.

There’s the sublime Prime steak tartare at Aria’s Bardot Brasserie, a visual feast with its orange egg yolk seeping into every crevice of the dish. A small bit of sauce verte (green sauce) adds just a bit more color and flavor, and the deep flavors of the meat pair perfectly with house-made waffle fries.

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at Sahara Las Vegas has a fantastic selection of tartares, each more inventive than the next.

As good as Vittore 1950 is (small medallions of flawless tenderloin with black pepper, Parmesan, capers, brown-butter croutons and sherry dressing), fans—and especially vegetarians—will want to dive into Andrés’ beefsteak tomato tartare, which looks like the real thing but is a taste sensation all its own. Flavored with balsamic vinegar, cucumber and black olive, it will have you asking, “How did he do this?”

Hank’s Fine Steaks & Martinis at Green Valley Ranch provides an excellent 7X wagyu beef tartare for its happy hour, and you won’t be happier than when you’re experiencing the flavor sensations of quail egg yolk and smoked paprika aioli on some toasted brioche.

The newest arrival on the block, handcut Prime beef tartare at Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse at Flamingo, comes courtesy of head chef Lamar Moore, and it’s easily one of the best things on the entire menu, who shared his secret to making the melt-inyour-mouth appetizer: dry-aged New York Strip. “When it comes to steak tartare, the quality of beef you buy matters more than ever,” Moore says. “If you have a local butcher or specialty meat shop, it’s best to purchase your meat there. The more tender the meat, the less chance you’ll encounter chewy bites of gristle.”

IF YOU’RE INSPIRED BY THESE DISHES AND WANT TO REPLICATE THEM AT HOME, HERE ARE SOME TIPS, COURTESY OF MOORE: Use the sharpest knife you have available.

Cut the tenderloin into very thin slices (1/8-inch thick, if

Add ingredients you love. Once again, the only limits to this dish are your imagination.

Location is Everything Realtor Frank Napoli notes new developments are really focusing on the level of service and variety of community offerings they include. He explains, “There are plenty of areas with community amenities you can enjoy without having to have them under the roof of your home. Places like The Ridges in Summerlin and Rhodes Ranch all have these community centers with amenities for residents to enjoy such as a gym, community theaters, golf courses and things like that. Having everything within walking or short driving distance within your community makes it that much nicer.” –AD

The Active Life

Del Webb Lake Las Vegas, an active adult community for those ages 55-plus, broke ground this year on its crown jewel, a 10,000-square-foot recreation center.

Ryan Breen, president of PulteGroup’s Las Vegas division, notes, “Designed as a hub for programs and amenities that support social, physical, creative and intellectual fulfillment, the heart and soul of Del Webb Lake Las Vegas will be at its clubhouse.” Amenities include a resort pool and spa, aerobics room and a community event lawn with an outdoor fire pit. –AD

EXPERT LOOK

Paul Conforte Xpand Realty’s Paul Conforte is looking to help you expand into the Las Vegas area, and he has plenty of experience in that area. “I’ve been in real estate about 15 years,” Conforte says. “My mom was a Realtor, so it’s been in my blood. At Xpand, it’s more like family.”

While Xpand Realty serves all types of customers, Conforte notes the niche they’ve created. “Our company’s owner is from Hawaii and our business is very referral-based,” Conforte says. “We find that a lot of people from Hawaii are looking at the Las Vegas market for vacation homes or investment properties because it’s so much cheaper here.”

Conforte, who moved here 20 years ago to attend UNLV, sells homes all over the Las Vegas Valley, but he does a lot of business with custom home builder Toll Brothers. He observes, “Toll Brothers is going really modern, doing more with less space, and they’re doing so much with one-story communities.”

Conforte is full of pro tips, but something especially valuable he notes is regarding perception on the part of the buyer. “The biggest misconception is that when you go to a builder, they’re your Realtor. If you want somebody to look out for your best interests, somebody who has fresh eyes to notice something that maybe you didn’t, you should always bring a Realtor. The seller or builder pays the commission. You don’t pay the Realtor; you don’t owe them anything.” –Allison Duck

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.

.36. 8.9.20 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

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.

Flavortown!

You’ll find nothing but pure, unadulterated fun at Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar (The Linq Hotel, 702.794.3139). You know you’re in for a unique time from the get-go. The Bloody Mary menu practically begs you to go wild with the ingredients—everything from candied bacon to Slim Jims! And you’ll be turning every head in the place when your Trash Can Nachos arrive: The container has a bottom that drops out, dumping the gooey, housesmoked pork-filled nachos onto your plate. The fun continues with burgers like the Bacon Mac ’N’ Cheese Burger (slathered with six-cheese macaroni and cheese and SMC, Fieri’s “super melty cheese” blend). Desserts are, as you would expect, beyond decadent here, from the Cheesecake Challenge (an entire half of New York-style cheesecake with pretzels, hot fudge and potato chips) to the Seven-Layer Dark Chocolate Whiskey Cake (for those 21 and over), featuring whiskey crème anglaise and salted whiskey caramel sauce. Leave your foodie pretensions at the door and just enjoy some truly fun food! –Ken Miller

Attractions Las Vegas is known as America’s Playground. There are enough attractions in this city to fill a week’s itinerary. From roller coasters to museums, there’s something to keep everyone amused. Most you have to pay for, but some of the best ones are free. Seasonal hours may vary.

SHOWBIZ WEEKLY LISTINGS

Views Galore At 550 feet, the High Roller (The Linq Promenade, 888.328.1888) is the world’s largest observation wheel. At that height, along with its floor-to-ceiling glass cabins, the attraction offers incredible 360-degree views.

Daytime viewing allows one to take in the mountainous scenery that surrounds the Las Vegas Valley, but the nighttime views are what really dazzle, because they capture the bright, big-city lights that makes Vegas so alluring. Caesars Entertainment is taking every precaution to make sure that your time on the High Roller is as safe as possible, which is why they are limiting each cabin to 10 riders and placing decals on the floor to remind guests to keep a safe distance. Despite social distancing measures, however, High Roller still offers one of the best ways to spend a half hour. Before you leave, be sure to check out its LED light show, which is synchronized to popular songs.

Watch in awe as it rapidly changes colors, as if the big wheel were dancing along with the music, trying to stand out in the crowd. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to try hard. –Alex Haase
