Hell’s Kitchen Show Becomes a Reality at Caesars Palace

NOTES

From the Editor Live it Up!

Every week, Las Vegas Magazine seeks to become your official headquarters for planning the perfect Vegas experience— whether it be for an afternoon, a day or a week, we want you to turn to us for the insider information that helps you get the maximum amount of enjoyment out of all this town has to offer.

Which is why I’m excited to unveil the second installment of our “Day Planner” series, in which managing editor Nina King selects a particular part of the Strip and breaks down the best things to do in that location over the course of a day. This time, she’s selected the intersection of Spring Mountain Road and the Las Vegas Strip (“Seize the Day,” p. 22). Features like this are the essence of Las Vegas Magazine, and even if you aren’t staying near this intersection during your trip, trust me: There’s great, helpful info here.

Ditto for Alex Haase’s “Vegas 9s” story on how to really take care of your body while you’re here (“9 Healthy Ways to Experience Las Vegas,” p. 26). Yes, we get it—many of you come here to do the exact opposite, but hey, we all know that “morning after” feeling, right? Turn to this collection of options to help recharge those batteries.

Many production shows went dark for a few weeks after Governor Steve Sisolak

issued a statewide “pause” on large gatherings (some of those shows are due to return after Dec. 15), but some shows on the Strip stuck it out, including Extravaganza— The Vegas Spectacular at the iconic Jubilee Theater at Bally’s. This is a family-friendly show on a grand scale, and you should definitely check it out while you’re here—if only to remind yourself what a Vegas show looks like!

Then get out there and enjoy a fantastic meal. This issue is crammed with some of the best options in town, including a feature on Gordon Ramsay’s super-popular Hell’s Kitchen at Caesars Palace (“On Fire, p. 20), StripSteak at Mandalay Bay (“A Constant Classic,” p. 14), and Andiamo Steakhouse at The D (“Dining Done Right,” p. 12). In addition, Brock Radke will introduce you to some of the greatest restaurants both on and off the Strip (“Holiday Cravings?” p. 18) And of course, don’t forget to enjoy yourself at some of our world-class attractions, including the Big Apple Coaster (“Twist and Shout,” p. 7) and SpeedVegas (“Watching the Wheels,” p. 10).

The world is changing, but Las Vegas is still the place to come to forget your worries—for an hour, a day or a week. And Las Vegas Magazine will be there to guide you every step of the way.

Twist and Shout With all the twists and turns we’ve experienced this year, is there not a more perfect metaphor for 2020 than a roller coaster?

Ironically, if you’re looking for a way to take your mind off this year, a roller coaster might be your best bet, and there’s no better place for such thrills than the Big Apple Coaster.

Photo by Francis George

But first, you’ll have to prepare your mind, and your stomach, for what’s about to go down. The coaster starts with two huge drops, which lead into twists and loops alongside the faux Manhattan skyline.

One such loop is the heartline twist and dive maneuver, a move that quickly flips the

cart upside down and settles into a tummy-tingling drop, so be sure to ride on an empty stomach.

If the coaster isn’t enough entertainment for you, head over to the arcade to play some old-fashioned games like Skee-ball, air hockey, and more. –Alex Haase

Brunch On Although it’s a New York City import, Sadelle’s has become a very Vegas brunch spot. Plus, the inside is Tiffany blue, so it might be the closest you’ll ever get to actually eating breakfast at Tiffany’s.

As you peruse the menu, you’ll find delicious dishes fit for the NYC-style diner of your dreams, including eggs Benedict, Western omelets, matzo ball soup, Waldorf salad, steak and eggs, and crispy fried chicken with truffle honey. But if you can’t decide, here’s a pro tip: Order the house salmon, which is plated on a serving tower with trimmings like tomato, cucumber and capers, and served with possibly the best bagels outside of NYC. Whatever you decide, pair your meal with a hot cup of the house coffee, or if you need something stronger, brunch the right way with a classic cocktail like the Bloody Mary, Bellini or mimosa. Throughout your meal, you’ll notice a pastry cart rolling throughout the restaurant. When it stops by your table, grab a delectable baked good like a half-moon cookie or a danish.

It’s the perfect way to end a solid brunch. –Alex Haase

It’s Fabulous, Darling Get as close to the life of a Real Housewife as you can when visiting Vanderpump Cocktail Garden. Opened by Beverly Hills housewife Lisa Vanderpump in the spring of 2019, the lounge and bar continues to be a decadent oasis for small bites and handcrafted cocktails.

Shrouded in foliage, flowers and romantic lighting, it’s like stepping inside an outside secret garden (you’ll also spot many personal photographs of Vanderpump and her family). Guests can settle into cozy nooks

throughout and order from a menu rich with tasty delights like truffle potato puffs, bacon-wrapped dates, mini burgers, and a to-die-for rosé cake for two.

Cocktails all get cheeky names like Checkmate Bitch, a spicy vodka drink, Hanky Panky, a pisco with fresh fruits, and The Nut Job, a flaked coconut mojito. Guests can also indulge in Vanderpump’s own line of wines, including chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon and rosé. –Kiko Miyasato Caesars Palace, 21+. 702.731.7867

Treasure Trove For a memento of your trip to Las Vegas, as well as gifts for everyone back home, there are few places in Las Vegas as expansive as Bonanza Gifts & Souvenir Shops. This massive souvenir shop, billed as the World’s Largest Gift Shop, stocks so many cool and kitschy things, like cactus seeds, Vegas-themed keychains, tees and shot glasses, gaming-related items and plenty of gag gifts, too. But you can also find items created by indigenous Southwestern tribes in a separate, connected shop, plus a child-themed collection in KidzWorld. –Nina King 2440 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.385.7359

Watching the Wheels

Get your adrenaline rush on a variety of race courses SpeedVegas is the only racing facility in Southern Nevada to include both a racing course and a world-class dirt track (and a spot where you can do all the donuts you want in the muscle car of your choice!). Make sure you get here early, because you’re going to want to experience everything that’s offered.

Start by taking your pick from SpeedVegas’ lineup of dream machines—Lamborghinis, Porches, Ferraris, you name it. There’s also any number of American muscle cars like the Corvette C8 Z51 and Shelby GT500, not to mention street racers like the Acura NSX (a particular fan favorite). Then hit SpeedVegas’ 1.5-mile course,

.10. 12.13.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

designed to push these babies to their limits.

Once you’ve figured out the basics of each car, you’ll find yourself returning to the track over and over to best your previous time.

But make sure to set aside some time for the off-road experience on the 1.4-mile custom-made dirt track. Each off-road vehicle is state of the art, including a new fleet of 6100 class custom-built trucks (which offer up to 500 horsepower, as opposed to the 300 horsepower of the original vehicles). After a quick video and some basic lessons, drivers are set loose on the course, with SpeedVegas technicians feeding you information through radio communication

in your ear. Then get ready for serious air as you take off from a variety of jumps.

The best part is you know you’re safe during the SpeedVegas experience. Acrylic glass shield protectors are used in every vehicle, and there’s a UVC lightbox sanitation and disinfecting system for helmets. In addition, a rigorous cleaning schedule is maintained, including all high-touch surfaces and highly trafficked areas like the clubhouse, cars and back-of-house areas. Also, all cars are driven with the windows down to ensure a constant supply of fresh air—but, honestly, isn’t that how you want to experience SpeedVegas anyway? –Ken Miller

Dining Done Right Andiamo Steakhouse sources its beef from top butchers like Pat LaFrieda and Stockyard Premium, with each piece cut to exact specifications of the chefs and turned into melt-in-your-mouth morsels.

Intense flavors shine through in steaks like filet mignon, bone-in ribeye, a charbroiled porterhouse and the impressive 32-ounce tomahawk long-bone rib-eye. Andiamo also serves its popular veal osso buco and both lamb and veal chops. To put each bite over the top, guests are served a signature zip sauce for dipping. For pescatarians in the group, indulge in pan-roasted sea scallops, Chilean sea bass, salmon, lobster ravioli and shrimp scampi. Vegetarians can order the filling cauliflower steak, served with Italian grains and seasonal vegetables.

Andiamo’s wine list includes impressive Italian labels, red wines from around the world and many California vintages. Handcrafted classic cocktails come from the petite bar right off the main dining room floor. –Kiko Miyasato The D, 702.388.2400

Some people think Vegas is a little too pricey.

Come for the free air conditioning, stay for the $20 tall can of Pabst Blue Ribbon. To an extent, it’s an accurate assessment. But Fremont Street Experience is different, because you can experience much of it for free. Take a stroll along the promenade and explore historic Downtown Las Vegas—there’s vendors, street performers and classic casinos like Plaza and Golden Nugget. Then, up above the street is Viva Vision, a massive light show that pairs mind-blowing visuals with popular songs by artists like The Killers and Imagine Dragons. –Alex Haase Downtown Las Vegas, vegasexperience.com

Mishimi Reserve rib cap

A Constant Classic

Michael Mina’s steakhouse remains a favorite If renowned chef Michael Mina had a list of his culinary accolades, it would be longer than the Cheesecake Factory menu. Getting his start in the California cooking scene nearly three decades ago, the Michelin-starred chef and James Beard Foundation inductee brought his skills to Las Vegas in the early ’00s. Today, Mina’s name and cooking creativity is enjoyed by visitors at Bardot Brasserie at Aria, International Smoke at MGM Grand, his eponymous eatery at Bellagio, and StripSteak at Mandalay Bay. When Stripsteak opened in 2006, it was Mina’s first venture into the steakhouse realm and, nearly 15 years later, it remains a favorite among meat enthusiasts, mainly for the way steaks are cooked—butter poached and then finished on a

.14. 12.13.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

mesquite wood-burning grill. It’s also worth noting that StripSteak offers a fantastically curated menu of more than 100 single-malt Scotches.

The modern, warm, upscale environment is the perfect setting for a meal of memorable proportions. Fan-favorite starters include the hamachi and ahi poppers, chilled lobster tacos and the “instant” bacon, a five-spice pork belly served with tempura oysters that will have you wishing all bacon was served this way for the rest of your life.

While Mary’s brick chicken, diver scallops, Scottish salmon and ginger-scallion sea bass are all worthy options, the happy belly-filling goal here has to be the steaks. Bone-in ribeyes, New York strips, filet mignons and dry-aged ribeyes

come from the grill, but the star is the Mishima A5 Japanese wagyu rib cap—flavorful, memorable, melt in your mouth. If so inclined, punch up any of your meats with accompaniments like black truffle butter, crumbled blue cheese or half a lobster tail.

A must-try dessert is the light, fluff y and perfectly sweetened beignets, served with dipping sauces like chocolate, vanilla crème brûlée and Macallan butterscotch pudding. Sooo good! Top off the meal by perusing that long list of single malts. If you want to try several, order a whiskey and Scotch flight. If money is no object, go with a half-, 1- or 2-ounce pour of Louis XIII by Rémy Martin. –Kiko Miyasato 702.632.7200

Criminally Good Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse offers not only a fantastic meal, but transports its guests to a bygone era when mobsters ran Las Vegas. As its name implies, it’s a tribute to Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky. The property is filled with touches harking back to their time, including a “back-way” entrance (the way gangsters used to enter high-end properties), which leads to a variety of dining areas, including a raw bar.

Designer Jonathan Adler provides the decorative ‘20s and ‘30s touches throughout, and you’ll feel like you’ve really gone back in time as you enjoy a drink from a menu of various Old-Fashioned recipes—you can have it made with rum, mezcal, brandy or, of course, bourbon. A terrific appetizer—one of our favorites on the Strip—is the hand-cut Prime beef tartare, served with foie gras aioli and pan-toasted country bread.

Main course options are steak-heavy, naturally. But there’s plenty for every palate here, including pan-roasted lamb chops, free-range roasted chicken, pan-seared sea scallops and plancha-seared salmon. Finish off your evening with the Meyer Lemon dessert, a crispy meringue served with almond Sablé and creamy lemon cream. –Ken Miller Flamingo, 702.733.3111

Gliding Through Find yourself in another country when you step aboard the gondola ride. Specifically, find yourself in Italy, with gondoliers serenading you as your boat navigates the canals of Venice. Glide past streetside cafés and shopping boutiques, under bridges, under balconies and around curves. Rides are offered both indoors and outdoors, and with Vegas’ pleasant weather, the outdoor option is nothing to sneeze at, and the views are still striking. Either way, it’s a lovely, romantic ride. Now, don’t you think it’s time to resume your travels? –Nina King The Venetian, 702.414.4300

A Place for the Sports Fan If you are looking for a sweet place to while away an hour or so while catching a game, head into The Still. Inside, an old Airstream converted into a kitchen sends out plenty of dishes like crispy-style chicken wings, a tuna poke bowl, grilled fish tacos, steak tacos, a Philly cheesesteak panini and deep-fried birthday cake Oreos with cream cheese icing.

Meanwhile, the bar issues a range of about 40 beers on draft, from typical

domestics to Elysian Space Dust and Guinness in pints, liters and pitchers. Signature cocktails include margaritas, a mango martini and several variations on the mule, with spirits like vodka, gin, tequila, bourbon—you choose your favorite, and they’ll mix it up with classic mule ingredients.

And during professional football games, The Still offers a menu with specialty cocktail and beer specials. Score! –NK The Mirage, 702.692.8455

Burning History One would be remiss not to start with a cocktail at Zuma’s bar.

“I always encourage our guests to try our cocktails,” says Kougl.

Specialty cocktails are all handcrafted with a Japanese-inspired twist, and all ingredients are freshly sourced.

One perfect example of Zuma’s cocktail creativity is the Burning History, which is completed tableside. Mixed with Suntory Whisky Toki, honey water, ginger syrup, yuzu juice and egg whites, it’s infused with a Scotch barrel smoke and then poured over ice. –KM

Josh Kougl

Zuma’s general manager has arrived Be one of the first to welcome Josh Kougl to Las Vegas. It was just six days before sitting down for this interview and photo shoot that he moved to town to take the position of general manager of Zuma, a modern Japanese restaurant, at The Cosmopolitan.

Kougl, however, has been a part of the Zuma brand for almost five years. Zuma has locations all over the U.S. and abroad, and Kougl began working with Zuma in Miami as the assistant general manager. From there, he helped launch the Boston location as the opening general manager, and now he’s running the Vegas outpost. “Las Vegas is the mecca of hospitality in the U.S.,” says the Indiana native. “I knew that it had to be on my career path.”

Kougl’s career spans two decades in the hospitality industry, starting with positions like dishwasher, busser and server in California, then moving into bartending and eventually management in cities like Phoenix, Los Angeles and

even Playa del Carmen, Mexico. “But I always knew that I’d make it to Las Vegas one day,” he says. “I knew that I had to work here to get that key experience on my résumé.”

It’s safe to say that Kougl has arrived, literally and figuratively. As the general manager, he explains his job with this analogy: “The GM is the brains of the operation. You have managers that are essentially the shoulders, then the rest of the team that are the arms and the fingers. And I provide direction and culture for the restaurant and manage the business as well.”

While Kougl settles into his new role at Zuma, he can’t wait to settle into this new city he now calls home, and the first thing on his to-do list is, “No joke, eating and drinking,” he says with a smile.

“I’m so enamored by the amount and the caliber of the restaurants in this city. My wife and I are ecstatic to get out and try all these amazing restaurants.” –Kiko Miyasato

latest restaurant concept is creating buzz and drawing crowds to Harrah’s Las Vegas. Pizza Cake (800.214.9110) is hard to miss when you’re walking the Strip thanks to its cake-slice ATM machine, but there’s plenty more to enjoy at this casual eatery. Stay on the sweet side with unique dessert pizza options or lunch it up with big slices of New Jersey-style pie that really hit the spot.

Something special is happening at the Silverton casino resort south of the Strip. With the popular Twin Creeks Steakhouse temporarily shuttered, its talented kitchen crew is working behind the scenes to offer a special greatest-hits menu at the adjacent Mexican restaurant Mi Casa Grill Cantina (702.263.7777), also a steady favorite of locals around the Vegas valley.

Shrimp cocktails, petite filets mignon, New York strip steaks, roasted garlic mashed potatoes and mac and cheese are among the available steakhouse selections, and diners can order from both menus to mix things up. It’s essentially two great restaurants at one vibrant location.

On the west side, neighborhood hangout Kona Grill (702.547.5522) recently launched a new brunch program featuring bottomless mimosas in seven flavors and fun plates such as the Daybreak Sandwich, a fried egg masterpiece served in a Spam can. But the expansive restaurant with two levels of patio space also added new dishes to its standard menu including shrimp tacos, ribeye meatballs, a Korean tuna roll and a turkey and Brie sandwich. And speaking of sandwiches, the breakfast beauties at Egg Sammie (702.204.8881) run the gamut from soft scrambled eggs on fresh-baked brioche with your favorite toppings to flavor bombs like the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with dill pickles, “crack sauce” and jalapeño bacon.

Downtown favorite Carson Kitchen (702.473.9523) is serving up a renovated seasonal menu that includes the return of a few beloved dishes like the chicken riggies pasta with gin tomato cream sauce and grilled oysters with Vietnamese nuoc cham sauce. Among the new offerings are a beer brat banh mi sandwich with chicken paté and sambal aioli, Pacific cod with lemongrass coconut milk and chili oil, and a Reuben chopped salad with corned beef and rye croutons. These comforting, familiar flavors are par for the course at Carson Kitchen, which remains a big reason why downtown Vegas dining is so exciting. –Brock Radke

Beef Wellington For example, Ramsay’s cutting comments, a huge part of the show’s appeal, are used to hilarious effect in one of the restaurant’s cocktails, Notes From Gordon. It’s an extremely refreshing sip, combining Plymouth dry gin, green tea, lemongrass, peach and lemon, and each drink contains a different Gordon barb (“My grandmother can cook better than that, and she’s dead!”—ouch!) You may keep ordering these just to see the next message. Other notable libations include the Pitchfork, a delicious blend of Bulleit bourbon, Giffard Pamplemousse liqueur,

and mandarin purée, braised bacon, pickled apples and pomegranate seeds. For the vegetarians in your group, there’s a wonderful quinoa salad, chock-full of Honeycrisp apples, dried currants and cranberries, candied pecans, and ricotta salata.

There’s no mystery at Hell’s Kitchen about the signature main course. Yes, it’s easily the restaurant’s best-seller, but once you’ve tried the beef Wellington,

you’ll know why. Ramsay has all but perfected this dish—a perfect piece of steak surrounded by a pastry shell—and it’s complemented by potato purée, glazed root vegetables and a red wine demi-glace. Obviously there are many other choices here, and all are worthy of your time, including crisy-skin salmon, served with warm white beans, seabean salad, Iberico chorizo and a citrus beurre blanc, and jidori chicken scallopini, accompanied by roasted pee wee potatoes, artichokes, lacinato kale and truffle chicken.

Also a huge seller, the sticky toffee pudding stands tall as perhaps the best meal-ender on the Las Vegas Strip. Its velvety consistency practically melts in your mouth, but top it with a rich, caramel sauce and then some vanilla ice cream, and your tastebuds have no choice but to surrender.

If you’re in Vegas, you may now find you need to figure a few things out in advance, just to make your relaxing more … relaxing. And in Las Vegas Magazine’s ongoing Day Planner series, we’ll help you maximize your time. In this installment, we’ll talk some options if you are staying near Spring Mountain Road and Las Vegas Boulevard South, where you could plan a different itinerary for every week of the year. Take a tip: Walking shoes are key, because although these places appear pretty close to each other, you’ll be getting plenty of exercise (allow 15 or 20 minutes between destinations for

walking); and getting reservations and tickets early is a must for restaurants, shows and many attractions.

8 a.m.: Coffee, coffee, coffee! Head downstairs and grab a brew for you and your significant other at the hotel coffee shop or kiosk. If you are staying at The Palazzo, for instance, Illy Cafe is on the way to Restaurant Row, and the killer Go Greek yogurt place (opens at 9 a.m.) is right behind the escalators to The Grand Canal Shoppes in the same general area if you need a little morning pick-me-up. Both are also nice people-watching spots.

9:45 a.m.: Head to your 10 a.m. brunch at Chica in The Venetian. The daily brunch features a menu that was revamped this summer, and plenty of faves, like the cachapa pancakes, got a redo. (They’re all corn now, meaning gluten free!) The marble potatoes are

stewed with chiles and onions, which rock. And with an 8 a.m. opening time, it’s tempting to make an early reservation and spend a little more quality time with the newly introduced makeyour-own micheladas and Palomas.

Really, though, all the cocktails are freaking good.

Noon-2 p.m.: We know, two hours is not enough time to do all the shopping you want, but it can get you started.

Once you finish up brunch, sashay across the convenient pedestrian walkways past the Wynn’s gorgeous roses to Fashion Show, where you’ll mosey through shops like 7 for All Mankind, Attic Salt and Coach, plus bigger stores like Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstom and Saks Fifth Avenue. If you love those stogies, Davidoff of Geneva is right in the plaza, and putting a few in your pockets for later isn’t a bad idea.

2-3 p.m. Stash those shopping finds and put your feet up for half an hour, then head to Treasure Island.

3-6 p.m.: Football! Yeah! The Golden Circle Sportsbook at Treasure Island is an excellent hybrid between a sports bar and book, with restaurant-style seating and something like 60 TVs. There’s plenty of space for social distancing, and even comfy VIP areas. While you’re checking out your favorite team, check out the massive nachos—they are seriously delish and way bigger than your head.

6-8 p.m.: Toddle on down to Rhumbar at The Mirage for an hour on the patio drinking—yep—rum-laden cocktails and indulging your passion for cigars. On your way out, you’ll let your eyes be dazzled by the glory of the free volcano eruption (8 p.m.).

8-10 p.m.: Dinner, anyone? So many options, but for this trip, head back to The Palazzo, where Mott 32 gives you upscale Chinese cuisine. You might want to dress up a bit here, as it is seriously cool, with a custom interior by lauded designer Joyce Wang.

10 p.m.-late, late, late: It’s your holiday, so late-night gaming is a good thing. Head back to your hotel— tables and gaming devices have been arranged for social distancing, and your cocktail servers will bring you a beverage. Remember to throw her or him a few bucks.

8 a.m.: Whattt? Is it the next day already? Durn.

Celebrate the variety show on a grand scale at Extravaganza—The Vegas Spectacular

By Ken Miller

Las Vegas is facing a tough challenge at the moment. A few weeks ago, our governor, Steve Sisolak, announced a statewide “pause” until Dec. 15 that required, among other things, to reduce the number of people who can gather from 250 to 50 or 25 percent of fire code capacity—whichever is less. This posed great challenges for many of the Strip production shows that decided

to return a few weeks ago; many of those shows decided to close until Dec. 15. But some soldiered on. One of those shows was Extravaganza— The Vegas Spectacular, a show that originally opened earlier this year, only to close a day later as the entire state was shut down. As a result, most visitors to Las Vegas have not yet had a chance to see this show.

But if they’ve seen its sister show,

WOW—The Vegas Spectacular at Rio (which has yet to reopen), odds are they’ve already ordered their tickets.

Like WOW, Extravaganza is a variety show on a grand scale, full Bally’s of performers and 702.777.2782 entertainers from all over the globe, staged in Bally’s legendary Jubilee Theater (which is more than expansive enough to accommodate social distancing).

Be prepared for an entertainment sensory overload as dancers, acrobats, aerialists, skaters, comedians and, yes, showgirls take to the stage, full of spectacular sets and massive LED screens. As a special bonus, Extravaganza will feature holograms of some of the Strip’s most famous not attempt their act at home!). headliners.

As a special treat (and one that will be familiar to fans of WOW, where both performers appear), America’s Got Talent star Silvia Silvia will make a guest appearance to demonstrate her otherworldly skills with a crossbow. She’ll be joined by her husband, Victor Ponce, who has a special talent for plate spinning (another act we recommend you definitely not perform at home unless your plates are plastic!).

“We are excited to reopen Extravaganza in Las Vegas, which is my homage to this amazing city—bringing not only tremendous and unique performers from all over the world, but also some of the most iconic and thrilling acts and the return of the classic showgirls, who made the Jubilee Theater home for so many decades,” said creator and director Hanoch Rosènn in a statement.

And, in accordance with state mandates, all performers in Extravaganza will wear masks for the safety of patrons. This is family-friendly entertainment at its best, and a great way to celebrate the holidays.

’Twas the week before Christmas, yet all through the year, there was a pandemic that stymied your cheer. The kitchen was stocked with Cheez-its and wine—surely, two weeks would be enough time. As months passed and life stayed put, spring, summer and fall became seasons of glut.

But don’t worry now; don’t forget what you’ve seen—you can feel healthy this season, thanks to Las Vegas Magazine.

Red Rock Canyon (redrockcanyonlv.org) There’s no better form of exercise than hiking, for not only do you get to work out, but you also get to explore. Along Red Rock’s 13-mile scenic loop, you can stroll along easy walking trails or climb atop red mountains. Either way, you’ll feel accomplished.

Stay Well Rooms at MGM Resorts (877.880.0880) Travel much? Well, these health-conscious rooms within MGM properties cater to you. In your room, you’ll find an air purification system, specialized lighting, a memory foam mattress, and more, all designed to lessen the impact of travel on the body.

Canyon Ranch spa + fitness (The Venetian, 702.414.3600) Take care of your body and mind with a therapeutic massage. Treatments such as the chakra-balancing massage, as well as other Eastern treatments like acupuncture, reiki and shiatsu, will help you find your zen.

El Dorado Cantina (3025 S. Sammy Davis Jr. Drive, 702.722.2289) The authentic Mexican cuisine is so good here that it’s easy to overindulge.

But whatever you eat, whether it’s carne asada, tableside guacamole or street tacos, you’ll find comfort knowing all the ingredients are sourced from quality vendors, and are fresh, organic,

True Food Kitchen (The Forum Shops at Caesars, 702.340.2600) For a long time, true food was ew food.

But thanks to the wellness boom, healthy food is now much tastier, and there’s no place better than True Food Kitchen. The butternut squash pizza, the juicy turkey burger, or the teriyaki quinoa bowl will blow your mind.

REAL BODIES at Bally’s (702.777.2782) Most Vegas attractions help distract you from your own mortality, but at this unique exhibit, it’s unavoidable. With the help of real human specimens, each section highlights the complex inner workings of the human body. There’s also a new exhibit that explores the effects of COVID-19. Of course, the experience itself won’t make you healthier, but it might encourage you to make healthier choices in the future.

Piece of History

Steve Wynn’s Summerlin home is for sale He’s one of the most influential figures in the history of Las Vegas, and now Steve Wynn’s Summerlin home is for sale. It’s certainly not cheap, but it’s definitely a showcase we couldn’t wait to display in the pages of Las Vegas Magazine.

Wynn’s home was recently renovated by Forté Specialty Contractors, a Las Vegas-based design build construction company that has worked across the globe and here in Las Vegas.

“Luxury homeowners want experience and excellent craftsmanship,” said Scott Acton, CEO and founder of Forté Specialty Contractors.

.30. 12.13.20 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

“Given our roots are based in creating experiences—everything from building the kitchen at Hell’s Kitchen to designing parts of the spa at the Wynn and more—meeting the needs of the luxury housing market is a natural evolution for us. We are known for tackling the hard-to-do projects and building them faster with a higher level of quality and precision. This is all part of the craftsmanship that luxury homeowners expect. Our clients love it.”

Their work has turned an already amazing home into something truly special. The 20,000-square-foot, European-style villa has

six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Forté’s work on the home includes more than 700 square feet of space, a state-of-the-art media room, wine closet and den that can double as a children’s playroom.

The home’s charms are apparent from the minute you walk in the door, thanks to a dramatic front entryway stairs and back staircase, both leading to a second-level owner’s suite and three guest bedrooms. Each bedroom contains a full or Juliet balcony (with views of the picturesque TPC golf course). His and hers chambers are featured in the owner’s suite, with

both dressing rooms containing full closets with Hermès-inspired drawer pulls. The men’s side has a custom shower with exposed stainless steel plumbing—it makes you feel like you’re on a luxury yacht. The women’s side includes a salon-style bathroom complete with a hair-washing station. Each guest bedroom has a three-quarter bath and motion sensor walk-in closets. Talk about feeling pampered.

Wait until you see the kitchen! In addition to two Wolf stovetops, two microwaves and two

full-size refrigerators, there’s a second kitchen (also called a butler’s pantry) through a secret door that leads straight into the dining room, framed by French doors and providing amazing views of the Summerlin landscape.

But don’t spend too much time indoors here—the exterior is as stunning as the interior, with a European-style outdoor sanctuary featuring a fountain, gazebo, pool, spa and English garden with artificial grass. Don’t worry about the summer heat, as travertine stone has

been added, along with slip-resistant grit stone, around the pool.

“Steve Wynn’s vision for his homes is much like his vision for his casinos. Our innovative project team created the atmosphere in the Wynn residences, bringing the extravagant sensation of Las Vegas into the home with the highest quality of construction and in a record amount of time,” Acton said. –Ken Miller 1717 Enclave Court, $25,000,000.

Protecting yourself, fellow tourists and the staff

Las Vegas. All casinos opening in Las Vegas were

healthy. Guidelines issued by the Nevada Gaming

required to submit their plan for reopening to the

Commission have been implemented, with every-

commission. Here’s what you can expect to see, and

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 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.

Although venues may differ, most will implement 25-foot spacing between performers and audience members and space between each party to encourage social distancing.

Masks are mandatory. There is a limit to the number of people allowed in the venue, per current Nevada rules.

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. 12.13.20 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.

The smoke motif continues with the main courses, including a smoked prime rib dinner with bing, butter and honey, a market salad, mashed potatoes, au jus and, of course, horseradish. Or opt for the smoked whole plate bone-in short rib, served ssam-style (wrapped) with kimchi, soy daikon, ssamjang, bibb lettuce and rice. Sides are equally imaginative, including “B.S.” fries and marinated mushrooms. For dessert, make sure to try Chang’s ice cream sandwich, with small, fluffy pancakes substituting for the cookies normally used.
