NOTES

From the Editor Some Very Good News

This coming month is going to be very exciting for Las Vegas! To start the very good news, the Hakkasan Group announced that it will reopen three of its venues in March: Omnia at Caesars Palace, Wet Republic at MGM Grand (a recent recipient of a Las Vegas Magazine Hall of Fame honor!), and Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria.

In addition, MGM Resorts International had all sorts of amazing announcements.

In addition to returning to 24/7 operations at Mandalay Bay, Park MGM and Aria, a bunch of its shows will start up again in March: David Copperfield at MGM Grand, Carrot Top and Fantasy at Luxor, The Australian Bee Gees Show at Excalibur, and Terry Fator at New York-New York. For both our workforce and our tourism, this is a huge step toward returning to the Las Vegas everyone knows and loves. We’ve got a way to go, but this is huge progress!

And rest assured: Once these venues and shows are back up and running, Las Vegas Magazine will be there to provide you with all the info you need to get the most out of the experience.

In the meantime, there’s still plenty to feast on in this week’s issue. Yes, there are shows returning soon, but there are still plenty that you can see this week. I’ve rounded up some of the highlights for you (“Shows You Need to See Right Now,” p. 22).

Odds are you’ve come to Las Vegas partly for its food scene. If so, get ready to be seriously informed! We’ve got three great roundups, from great places for tableside presentations from managing editor Nina King (“Picture Perfect,” p. 20), restaurants that focus on vegetarian and vegan menus from associate editor Kiko Miyasato (“‘V’ For Victory,” p. 24), and a look at great restaurants both on and off the Strip from editor at large Brock Radke (“Tasting the Classics,” p. 18).

One of the best things about Sin City is the sheer number of “bucket list” experiences. I’ve compiled a list of just some of them for this week’s issue (“9 Attractions You Can See Only in Vegas,” p. 26). Get that list out and begin checking off boxes!

Rounding out this week’s issue: A look at an exciting new garden party-inspired lounge at Red Rock Resort, Crimson in Bloom (“The Spring Scene,” p. 17); an introduction to the general manager of a new sports bar at Palace Station, Tailgate Social (“Friends With Benefits: Ashley P,” p. 16); and a Spotlight on the new Legacy Club at Circa Resort & Casino (“Everlasting Influence,” p. 12).

Believe me when I say much better days lay ahead for Las Vegas. And believe me when I say we are genuinely thankful you’ve chosen to spend a few days with us.

Flavor Explosion There’s no denying it—whatever you order at Diablo’s Cantina, whether it’s chips and guac or a sizzling fajita, it’s going to be bold and delicious.

And it all starts with the cocktails such as the mango picante margarita, mixed with tequila, spicy mango and lime juice. But if you

want to ease into your meal with something light and refreshing, try the Paloma, a blend of tequila, grapefruit and lime juice topped off with soda.

Bridge the gap between drinks and dinner with a starter like the nachos, which are piled high and smothered in cheese sauce, pico

de gallo, quacamole, crema fresca, pickled jalapeños and your choice of protein. It’s a lot, so be prepared to share with your tablemates.

Then, for the main course, opt for Diablo’s enchilada platter, a trio that includes beef barbacoa, chicken and shrimp, served with rice and black beans. –Alex Haase

Italian Favorites Buddy V’s Ristorante at The Venetian equally combines upscale dining and home-cooking for a comfortable menu that Nonna would be proud to serve. When you visit, Grandma’s Meatballs may be the starter for you, with pork, veal, beef and topped with marinara and Parm. But speaking of Parm, My Wife’s Eggplant Parm may be right up your alley, breaded and fried, and covered in mozzarella, tomato and Parm.

Although Cake Boss’ Buddy Valastro may have his faves, my boss’s choice is the Toscano salad. He raves about it, how each element—prosciutto, roasted artichokes, baby arugula, pecorino Romano and lemon vinaigrette—perfectly complements the next. Believe him.

For the main event, My Mother-In-Law’s Linguine Shrimp Scampi combines garlic, spinach, tomatoes and white wine with lemon and pecorino for a fab dish, and Nonna’s Lasagna al Forno layers up ricotta, mozzarella, provolone, Italian sausage, beef and pork. Valastro’s Sunday Gravy piles a rich sauce with sausage, pork, lamb and meatballs over rigatoni.

For dessert, Buddy’s Lobster Tail is magnificent, a pastry shell filled with custard cream and served with fruit. But you can’t go wrong with any choice here. –Nina King

Kick It Into Overdrive The pandemic has probably left you with a lot of pent-up energy and excitement, and one of the best ways to let it all out is at Pole Position Raceway.

The vehicles at this indoor facility aren’t your average gas-up-and-go-karts—these babies are equipped with an 18-horsepower electric motor and can reach speeds up to 45 mph. Plus, these karts are only a few inches off the ground, so 45 mph feels much faster than you’d expect.

.8. 2.28.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Since the name of the game is getting the best track time, accuracy is key. So while you may be tempted to go full-throttle in these karts, the 1/4-mile track has several sharp turns; therefore, braking, although less fun, is equally important as speed. It might take a lap or two to figure the dynamics of the track out, but once you do, it’s full speed ahead. –Alex Haase 4175 S. Arville St., reservations recommended. 702.227.7223

Body Bliss Take advantage of winter specials at The Spa at The Mirage. The Citrus Spice massage warms the soul for 50 minutes and includes a potent citrus- and cardamom-infused massage oil, ending with a blissful, ginger-scented foot polish. The Spa also offers several other massage options, with enhancements like hot stones and scalp treatments. Skin care is also available and includes a variety of facials and targeted experiences like advanced exfoliation, collagen veil, Dermaflash and eye treatments. –Kiko Miyasato 702.791.7146

Old-School Glamour

Bellagio dinner and show ups the entertainment ante It’s a Las Vegas restaurant reservation that you won’t soon forget—an evening of dining, drinking and entertainment, all wrapped in a striking scene of old-school Hollywood glamour and supper club glitz. Mayfair Supper Club brings all these elements together seamlessly for a restaurant experience unlike any other on the Strip.

It begins when you step inside the lounge, awash in colors of the sea—greens, pinks, blues and glowing whites with a beautiful Murano glass canopy over the bar. The main dining room is rich in sophisticated furnishings that combine modern and classic designs with white-linen covered tables and plush booths, all facing a main stage with an unbeatable backdrop of the famed Bellagio fountains.

The entertainment throughout the evening is led by the sultry, sweet voices of your hosts

Dean and Judy, played by Steve Judkins and LaShonda Reese, combined with a three-piece band and talented dancers. The music is a mix of throwback sounds and modern songs given an old-school twist.

The experience extends to the menu, a symphony of flavors that combine familiar and unique fare. Start with a classic cocktail—or two. We suggest the Melonball, a blend of Citron vodka, Midori liqueur, fresh citrus, honeydew, egg white and basil dust, or the champagne cocktail, served with a split of Veuve Clicquot champagne, Angostura bitters and a puff of cotton candy.

Starters include classic caviar service, chilled shellfish like oysters and an impressive seafood tower. A popular dish is the wagyu and caviar hand roll topped with gold leaf and a soy glaze.

So attractive and so delicious!

The supper club classics include lobster thermidor, Mary’s organic chicken and the 40-ounce dry-aged porterhouse, served with Mayfair’s own steak sauce. Pescatarians can delight in grilled black sea bass and roasted salmon; and vegetarians have entrée options, too, like a squash schnitzel with pomegranate brown butter or a cauliflower steak grilled in a pistachio vinaigrette.

The cigar dessert is also an experience—a faux-smoking stogie made of milk chocolate. Or opt for a glass of brandy or whiskey (the spirits menu is extensive) alongside the cheese board, a blend of chef-selected cheeses, honeycomb and candied peanuts.

For a more mellow, groovy experience, hit up the supper club for its Jazz Sundays—an evening of music and food for the soul. –Kiko Miyasato Bellagio, 702.693.8876

Float On When The Venetian was built, its planners knew right away one element they could not do without: A replica of the Grand Canal in Venice. After all, without it, how would they replicate the gondola ride? It’s arguably the most iconic, romantic experience one can enjoy as part of a trip to Italy. So it would have been sacrilege to not replicate it in Las Vegas.

And very romantic it is! It’s still one of the most popular attractions in Las Vegas after more than 20 years. But it’s not just couples—entire families can also be seen enjoying a song (or two) from their gondolier as their boat floats down the man-made waterways, snapping photos aplenty. And this is one attraction you’ll want to experience more than once— there are both indoor and outdoor options available.

Here’s a “secret” tip: There’s a Gondolier March twice a day, at 9:50 a.m. and 4:20 p.m. Catch a team of gondoliers serenading the crowd along the indoor canal near the gondola turnaround. These performers have some impressive pipes! –Ken Miller The Venetian, 702.414.4300

Everlasting Influence

Bring Your Senses to Life If you are looking for a way to experience something totally new, try Blackout Dining in the Dark. This combination of gourmet restaurant and exciting attraction gives even the most jaded person something to talk about.

When you enter, you’ll fill out a menu with your food preferences of sweet, savory or spicy, and make sure any allergies are known (you can also indicate this when making your reservation, but double-checking with the host is always a good idea).

.12. 2.28.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

From there, drop off your phone and belongings and let yourself be guided into the darkness within. It’s lightless in the dining room, and you are encouraged to use your senses of taste and smell to decipher what you are eating and drinking. Use your sense of hearing to pay attention to your companion, and really hear what they are saying.

This style of dining is really eye-opening, in a certain sense! –Nina King 3871 S. Valley View, Suite 8, 702.960.4000

In a nod to all the Vegas movers and shakers who helped shape Las Vegas, the swanky Legacy Club glorifies luminaries like Howard Hughes, Benny Binion, Sam Boyd and many more with custom metal busts and beautifully painted portraits. And although Legacy Club pays homage to the past, the lounge is undeniably contemporary, with slick décor, along with outdoor seating that features firepits and stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip. Equally stunning are the cocktails, such as the Nevadan, a twist on a classic Manhattan that uses Nevada’s own Frey Ranch rye.

Cheers! –Alex Haase Circa Resort & Casino, 702.247.2258

A Tour to Remember

Exhibit fully immerses you in ship’s fateful story You’ve seen James Cameron’s impressive blockbuster movie about it. (Actually, you’ve seen it multiple times, haven’t you? Admit it!)

The story of the Titanic remains one of the most fascinating in history, partly because of the sheer scope of the ship itself, and partly because of the seemingly endless storylines of the passengers.

And if you want to look inside the stories of the real people involved (sorry, Jack and Rose never existed), then head straight to Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition.

Partly museum and partly interactive experience, this attraction is absorbing to the point of distraction. No detail is left out: the design of the ship (and the efforts to get it built); re-creations

.14. 2.28.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

of cabins; profiles of some of the famous people who stayed in those cabins; a simulation of the deck of the ship on the fateful night it sank, complete with accurate air temperature; and a large piece of ice you can touch to give you an idea of just how cold it was that night.

The information you take in during this unforgettable tour will stay with you for some time. What makes it particularly powerful is that, upon entering, you are given the name of one of the passengers, and must go through the whole exhibit before you’re able to ascertain if your passenger survived. (There’s a large wall at the end that lists those who survived and those who did not.)

One thing the movie got right: That amazingly ornate grand staircase, here immaculately re-created to give you some sense of how opulent and grandiose this whole project was. It’s almost like they tried to put Las Vegas on a boat!

Perhaps the most striking part of Titanic is The Big Piece, a huge section of the actual ship. Regardless of how you’ve seen it in your mind, nothing can compare you for the absolute reality of this spectacle. In an instant, you are transported to that night, wondering how it must have felt as this beast began to sink. One thing is certain: You’ll never watch the movie the same way again. –Ken Miller Luxor, 702.262.4400

Hot Dishes It’s March in Las Vegas, and that means pleasant weather, and the stroll through Caesars Palace’s Roman Plaza puts you in the mood for an excellent meal at Hell’s Kitchen.

Inside, you’ll feel the energy both in the vibrant red-andblue decor and in the open kitchen that emulates the Red and Blue Kitchens of TV fame. The menu, too, reminds you of the show, with some of the most famous dishes being served here.

Starters include the pan-seared scallops, a dish Ramsay is emphatic about chefs getting right (perfectly cooked, neither over nor under); golden beet salad; and lobster risotto (another one that the chef gets testy about).

For your entrée, beef Wellington, possibly Ramsay’s most well-known dish, is an easy choice, tender beef wrapped in puff pastry with mushroom duxelles and a potato purée beneath. Other great choices are crispy skin salmon or filet mignon. And for dessert, of course you need to order the signature sticky toffee pudding that anyone who has tried it raves about. It’s served with dulce de leche ice cream. –Nina King Caesars Palace, 702.731.7373

Chill Out Baby, it’s cold inside! Wall-to-wall and seat-toseat, it’s all ice inside Icebar. With 90 tons of imported Canadian ice making up the lounge and bar, guests are treated to a wintry wonderland with impressive ice sculpture and experiences, like sitting on a sculpture of a throne or snapping photos with Vegas Golden Knights memorabilia framed inside ice. Since the temps are freezing, every guest is supplied with parkas or faux-fur coats and gloves. The fun challenge is seeing how long you can actually hang inside and finish your cocktail—served in a glass made completely of ice! –Kiko Miyasato The Linq Promenade, 702.489.3545

A Little Off the Top Ready to cut loose a bit? Yes, you are, and SkyJump Las Vegas lets you literally jump off a building.

The attraction, situated on the 108th floor of the iconic STRAT, gets you suited up into a parachute-style harness that allows you to reach a speed of up to 40 mph during your descent. Don’t worry, though, you are securely attached to a cable that controls your descent, and guide wires that ensure you stay on course—straight for

the ground. If you want family or friends to check out your jump, there is an area where they can watch you. They might not be the only people to see you, though, as you’ll jump right past diners enjoying cocktails within the Top of the World restaurant. It’s pretty wild.

There are height, weight and age restrictions for SkyJump, so be sure to check that you meet the guidelines. –NK The STRAT, 702.380.7777

Ashley Oglesby

Moving past the pandemic towards success Like a lot of people, Ashley Oglesby found herself without a job after the pandemic hit. “I didn’t know what was going to happen, especially with the restaurant industry,” she says.

“At that point it was scary because this career is my passion—it’s what I’ve done for so long.”

Oglesby flourished within the Las Vegas food and beverage industry, working her way up from a hostess to her previous position as assistant general manager at Searsucker at Caesars Palace. She’s worked in hot-spot restaurants on and off the Strip for more than a decade, but she found herself out of a job at the end of last year. And just when she thought she might have to switch careers, she got a call to come help open and manage Palace Station’s new sports bar, Tailgate Social.

“It was an amazing opportunity,” Oglesby says. “It’s the strongest leadership role I’ve had, and I take so much pride in it. It’s been so rewarding, especially during a time like this.”

As the general manager, she’s responsible for the whole Tailgate team, keeping up on trends in the industry, helping with menu creations and brushing up on her sports knowledge. “Every day I’m constantly learning and growing; there’s always something new going on,” she says.

“I’m just so grateful and humbled by it. I’m just amazed how far I’ve come in this industry. I’m a pretty young female and I didn’t think I’d be this far before my 30s, into a GM position. That strong work ethic has always been there.”

Oglesby is also grateful and happy to be working at a place where locals and visitors alike can come and enjoy themselves in a fun yet safe environment. “People are grateful just to have a place to come out to,” she says. “Have that environment for people to go to where they can cheer on their favorite team, have a cocktail, some food, some fun. We’re trying to take people’s minds off of what is going on in the world for a little bit.” –Kiko Miyasato

The Spring Scene

Garden party-inspired lounge offers gourmet cocktails It’s official! One of the biggest trends of 2020 was the yearning for a garden. And although the official start to spring is a few weeks away, you can still take advantage of pleasant springlike nights at Crimson in Bloom, and indulge your plant-loving self with a night out. This indoor/ outdoor lounge at Red Rock Resort celebrated the holidays with festivities this past winter, and is now blossoming with its newest incarnation Friday through Sunday (through May 16).

The terrace lounge is adorned with garden-inspired decor, and that starts with a canopy in the entrance tunnel, and flowers, greenery and those guardians of the garden, gnomes, rounding out the interior. While those are undoubtedly a breath of fresh air (and perfect for your

Instagram posts), you may be more inspired by the Flower Cart that trundles around, prepping for tableside service with rosé, champagne, and rosé cocktails.

Better yet are the DJs playing Friday and Saturday, and the drinks created with a natural theme. Those come in several mini themes such as the Herb Garden, the Botanical Garden and the Produce Garden. From the Herb Garden, choose the Lavender, concocted with Absolut Elyx, lavender, orgeat, Red Bull blueberry and lemon. It’s topped with an edible flower lollipop!

How many licks before you bite? The Orange Blossom hails from the Botanical Garden and features Roku gin, lime coconut, orange blossom and soda, with a garnish of fondant flowers.

Other standout cocktails include the Thyme and the Vanilla Orchid.

You’ll need sustenance, of course, whether it’s a picturesque charcuterie board, filled with meats, cheese, fruit, crackers and honey, or a decadent dessert from the resort’s bake shop.

There are two decorated bars at the lounge, one indoor and one outdoor, both complemented by lush hanging floral arrangements. Make reservations for tables or cabanas; walk-up service may be limited due to capacity restrictions.

If you’re looking to host a small event at Crimson in Bloom, you are in luck—the venue is available during non-lounge hours, subject to capacity restrictions (702.797.7550). –Nina King Red Rock Resort, 702.797.7873

Tasting the Classics

Tweaking favorite dishes leads to happy diners Classic dining experiences abound at the center of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. At Caesars Palace, celebrate the fresh new Year of the Ox at two of the most cherished Chinese restaurants in the city—the casual and authentic Beijing Noodle No. 9 (877.346.4642), where an expansive menu offers something for everyone, and the regal and refined Mr Chow (702.731.7888),

.18. 2.28.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

where signature dishes like hand-pulled noodles and green prawns are perfectly paired with champagne.

Across the boulevard at the Flamingo, the longest-standing casino resort on the Strip, a new classic emerged in 2020. Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse (702.733.3111) pays tribute to the pink-hued property’s fabulous history with

its vintage décor and style as well as a menu of greatest hits like avocado crab salad and Dover sole. At Paris Las Vegas, Mon Ami Gabi (702.944.4224) is one of the most celebrated brunch and lunch destinations in Vegas history, thanks to its sprawling indoor-outdoor space and favorite dishes such as chicken and mushroom crepes, quiche Lorraine, bananas Foster waffles

and steak frites. But it’s a sleeper hit for supper as well, when you should sample the onion soup au gratin, trout amandine and roasted chicken.

And once you dine on that legendary patio and enjoy some of the best views of the Bellagio’s fountains, you’ll feel the need to visit that center Strip resort and lavish in its luxurious features. For a different perspective on those dancing waters, relax on the patio at Spago (702.693.8181), Wolfgang Puck’s first restaurant to land in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace. The hip café relocated to Bellagio a few years ago and provides a refreshed experience complete with signature dishes like smoked salmon pizza and veal wiener schnitzel, plus steaks grilled over white oak charcoal, chilled seafood and black truffle pasta.

Spago remains a defining taste of Vegas.

Skipping off to downtown Las Vegas, a brandnew local concept is redefining the classic image of a casino noodle bar at the Circa Resort. The family behind ever-crowded Fremont East eatery Le Thai has opened 8 East (702.726.5508), a versatile pan-Asian spot on the casino’s second floor. Bold flavors are creating big buzz here with addictive bites like ginger chicken dumplings, pork belly bao, salt and Szechuan pepper chicken wings and cumin lamb lollipops. And check out the deals at 8 East’s happy hour.

The “other side” of downtown dining can be found in the Arts District along Main Street, and the restaurant everyone is talking about is Main St. Provisions (702.457.0111). Created by industry veterans Kim Owens and Justin Kingsley Hall, MSP is one of the most highly anticipated openings in recent history, making its debut during challenging circumstances in the winter and finding full support from affectionate locals.

Hall’s comfort cuisine includes venison tataki, charcoal-roasted quail, New Orleans-style barbecue prawns and rabbit boudin sausage, demonstrating a range of influences and seasonality.

This is the place to settle in and warm up.

When you’re talking comfort food, pizza is always at the top of everyone’s list of cravings.

San Diego’s landmark Landini’s (702.205.2249) just opened its first Vegas location in the southwest valley, bringing its beloved thin-crust pies from Little Italy to Sin City. Other favorite dishes on this family-operated restaurant’s menu include meatballs with marina and ricotta, Buffalo chicken pizza, pasta puttanesca, baked eggplant parmigiana and unforgettable tiramisu. It doesn’t get more familiar or satisfying. –Brock Radke

Tableside dining creates exciting scenes for sight and olfactory senses Doing things that you might not do at home is one of the best reasons to come to Vegas.

Whether it’s a massive cut of meat brought sizzling from the grill, dressing made from the freshest ingredients, or dessert that lights up your night, tableside dining experiences make your Vegas trip so much more ... Vegas!

Why don’t we start with dessert, specifically bananas Foster? This classic dessert was invented in the 1950s in New Orleans, so it seems fitting that it is a feature at Delmonico Steakhouse (The Venetian, 702.414.3737).

Your server will bring the ingredients tableside and cook the bananas along with other ingredients, such as sugar and, of course, rum, which creates an impressive flame as much of the alcohol burns off. The smell is incredible, and the presentation will have everyone looking your way. This dessert is meant to serve two.

Speaking of fire, Zuma (The Cosmopolitan, 877.893.2001) brings that to you, too, in an impressive cocktail known as Burning History.

Here, your cocktail is carried to you tableside in a shaker with ice and garnish. Then, a wooden barrel stave is persistently torched until it catches fire, the fire is gently put out with a wave of the hand and an upturned glass catches the resulting smoke. Ice and the beverage mixture—yuzo, Japanese whiskey and other ingredients—is placed and poured in the glass, which is topped with an orange slice garnish.

The flavor? Fabulous.

Andiamo Steakhouse

El Dorado Cantina, near the Strip (3025 Sammy Davis Jr. Drive, 702.722.2289), is a favorite of Las Vegas locals and in-the-know visitors, serving up regional Mexican cuisine with healthy, fresh ingredients in a picturesque inside, perfect for a pic or two. It’s de rigueur to order tableside guacamole when you dine here.

When the cart pulls up to your table, it’s hard to pull your eyes away; fresh Hass avocados are crushed in a stone molcajete with serranos, onion, tomato, garlic and cilantro to create a delicious starter. Even diners who have previously professed their dislike for avocados may be tempted by this beauty of a dish.

If you love your beef, the tomahawk at Andiamo Steakhouse (The D, 702.388.2220) is a long-bone, 32-ounce, charred steak presented to you and carved tableside. You’ll want to share this with your dining partner, but might want to hog up the signature Zip sauce for

yourself. The Caesar salad here is also prepared tableside (two-guest minimum), a classic with egg, anchovy, lemon, garlic, olive oil and Parmigiano-Reggiano briskly whisked to the perfect consistency.

Tableside Caesar salads are also available at Carbone (Aria, 877.230.2742), where plush seating sunk into a circular dining room complements the attention to detail from your server. You could go full tableside circle at Rat Pack-era Golden Steer (308 W. Sahara Ave, 702.384.4470), where Frank Sinatra and crew were frequent patrons. Start with the Caesar, get chateaubriand carved tableside, and let the flambée of cherries Jubilee end the night right.

Because the return of Las Vegas entertainment is more important than ever

By Ken Miller

.22. 2.28.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

It will still be quite awhile before Las Vegas sees the full return of its production shows, stars and music acts. Restrictions on crowd size, coupled with social distancing guidelines, have made it a challenge for many shows to come back right away. But the survivor spirit is strong in Las Vegas, and there are still a handful of fantastic shows more than worth the price of admission. And let’s be honest: You can’t put a price tag on the memories you get from a Las Vegas show.

Two of the shows feature former America’s Got Talent contestants, and while neither won the grand prize of $1 million, they did get the other half: A headlining show in Las Vegas. Piff the Magic Dragon (Flamingo, 13+, 702.777.2782) had to move his show from his usual venue to the larger Flamingo Showroom in order to accommodate more fans and still allow for social distancing, but his sardonic wit, deft sleight-of hand-and the ever-present Mr. Piffles (his tiny, super-chill dog) are still as entertaining as ever. Likewise for Tape Face (Harrah’s,

702.777.2782), who had to move from his House of Tape to the Harrah’s Showroom for the same reason. Another major difference: Now Tape Face, famous for his nonverbal skills, takes the tape off and talks! At least for the beginning of the show, after which things go back to normal—well, as normal as they can be when Tape Face is involved.

The laughs continue at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club (MGM Grand, 21+, 888.740.7711), where the legendary funnyman rounds up some of the most talented comedians of the day for a night of stand-up. If you ever watched HBO’s Young Comedian specials way back when and wished you could have seen the stars of tomorrow, now’s your chance.

Topless entertainment has also made its return, in the form of two shows: “X” Burlesque (Flamingo, 18+, 702.777.2782) and “X” Country (Harrah’s, 18+, 702.777.2782).

Both feature amazingly athletic ladies dancing to some of the greatest hits of pop, rock and country of the last few decades.

Their energy onstage is infectious; you’re likely to keep telling yourself, “I’ll bet I can do that!” (Although deep down you know you can’t. You really can’t.)

If your tastes veer more toward hot men than women, Thunder From Down Under (Excalibur, 18+, 702.597.7600) is just the ticket, mate. These Aussie hunks fulfill your wildest desires in the garb of firemen, policemen, construction workers, and … well, we’ll let you fill in the rest with your overly fertile imagination.

Family entertainment is still alive and well in Las Vegas with the return of Extravaganza—The Vegas Spectacular (Bally’s, 702.777.2782), a throwback to the days of the variety show. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into an Ed Sullivan’s Greatest Hits package, complete with every talent imaginable: dancers, acrobats, aerialists, skaters, comedians, showgirls and AGT’s crossbow artist Silvia Silvia.

And what would Las Vegas be without a tribute act to one of the greatest Vegas acts of all time? The Rat Pack is Back (Tuscany, 702.893.8933) celebrates Frank, Dean and Sammy with a pitch-perfect re-creation of their music, attitudes and just sheer fun.

TWENTY YEARS AGO, vegetarians were lucky to find enough side dishes on a restaurant menu to satisfy dinner cravings.

Ten years ago, vegans were lucky if they found a small block of cheese made from rice that didn’t cost a whole week’s worth of groceries. Today, vegetarians and vegans alike can indulge in bacchanalian feasts, as the meat-free craze has finally gone mainstream. And the trend has lit up the

Las Vegas Strip just as brightly as the neon does. Even meat-eaters are enjoying it!

The Wynn and Encore have restaurants dedicated to the vegan and vegetarian eater. In addition, meat-free and dairy-free menus exist at every eatery, and vegan chef Tal Ronnen works closely with each chef to create unique, delicious and healthy recipes for every manner of cuisine, be it Italian, Japanese, American or Chinese.

At The Forum Shops at Caesars, food doesn’t get healthier than at True Food Kitchen, a restaurant dedicated to sourcing seasonal and organic ingredients that have anti-inflammatory benefits. The menu is also packed with meat- and dairy-free options like quinoa, noodle and salad bowls, spaghetti squash casserole and butternut squash pizza. Also, on the Caesars Palace side, Nobu offers a Japanese feast—a veg-

etarian omakase tasting menu, in addition to vegetarian rolls, tempura and soups.

For some great breakfast and sandwich options—including some of the best bagels and veggie fixings on the Strip—Sadelle’s at Bellagio scores big points. Another delicious, all-vegan breakfast and lunch spot is Truth & Tonic at The Venetian. Delve into housemade Soyrizo tacos, organic cashew butter toast, roasted cauliflower Caesar salad, veggie burgers and sooo much more.

For some seriously delicious Italian vegetarian delights, Giada at The Cromwell

offers celeb chef Giada De Laurentiis’ fresh California-Italian fare, with tons of tasty pasta options. Eataly at Park MGM has several eateries throughout the Italian marketplace that whip up fresh pastas and breads, made with seasonal veggies. Next door at New York-New York, stop by burger joint Shake Shack for quite possibly one of the best vegetarian burgers you’ll ever have—the Shroom Burger.

For you vegans, peruse a huge menu of meat- and dairy-free options at Slice of Vegas at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place.

There are build-your-own pizzas, pastas, salads, soups, starters, desserts and sandwiches. (The meatball sub is wicked good!)

For Mexican vegan cuisine, Nacho Daddy at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort offers some of the best nachos in the entire city, as well as Chick’n fajitas, tacos, chimichangas and quesadillas, and the drool-worthy crispy avocado street tacos.

And for those that travel with meat-eaters, dine in upscale style at Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse at Flamingo, which offers its own vegan and vegetarian menu.

Whatever you choose, you’ll come out feeling like the next Kurt Busch.

lives up to the hype and then some. For 30 minutes, you slowly go through a full revolution, taking in the sights of the Strip and valley beyond like you’ve never seen them before, while a video tour guide gives you interesting tidbits about the city. This is one attraction you’ll want to experience twice—during the day and at night.

THE BIG APPLE COASTER New York-New York, 702.740.6969 Anyone remember that episode of CSI where Grissom goes on a roller coaster to relieve stress? Yep, this was the one he picked. The setting—it goes in and out of the hotel—is cool enough, but this ride adds in a 203-foot drop, along with a 180-degree heartline twist and dive. Stress relief, indeed!

WILDLIFE HABITAT Flamingo, 702.733.3349 It seems strange that an ideal area

SHARK REEF AQUARIUM Mandalay Bay, 702.632.4555 An ultra-humid paradise in the middle of the desert? Only in Vegas! Take your time exploring all there is to offer here, from Johnston’s crocodiles and Komodo dragons to Burmese pythons and piranhas. Oh, and of course sharks—lots and lots of different types swimming all around you. A new virtual reality experience that lets you see like a shark in 360 degrees.

MINUS5 ICE EXPERIENCE Multiple locations Remember that James Bond movie with the palace made completely of ice? Yep, that sort of thing actually exists, at least in Las Vegas. At Minus5, everything is made of ice, including the glasses you drink quality cocktails out of and the chairs you sit on while imbibing.

HYPERX ESPORTS ARENA LAS VEGAS Luxor, 702.723.2345 Even if you’re not a fan of video games, just watching games in this spectacular, 30,000-square-foot venue is enough reason to check it out. A 50-foot LED video wall features weekly tournaments including games like Mario Kart (who doesn’t love that game?), and there are fantastic food and drink specials as well.

Expansive home boasts fantastic views and amenities For those age 55 and older, one of the most desirable places to live in the entire Las Vegas Valley is Sun City Anthem, a master-planned community rich in amenities and amazing views. And one of the most desirable communities within Sun City Anthem is the gated Pinnacle Village perched in the Black Mountains, with sweeping views of the city lights. And an amazing property has just become available there, offering the ideal living situation far into the golden years.

The 2,934-square-foot home, a Saratoga model, listed by Leslie Carver, features three bedrooms and three bathrooms across its one story. You will immediately notice the small but

distinctive touches throughout this home, from the top-quality cabinetry and Blanco granite sink in the kitchen to the wet bar and media niche in the great room. Look further and you’ll notice the kitchen’s contrasting island, pull-out shelves and granite counters.

Other upgrades stand out as well, including hardwood flooring, plantation shutters and ceiling fans. Other upgrades less visible but no less important include owned solar panels, a water treatment system, and a Ring doorbell.

Large windows offer really stunning views throughout this home and accompanying casita. The rooms are all spacious and comfortable, with the primary bedroom offering a

spa-inspired bathroom, custom closet and patio access. There’s plenty of room to just stretch out and make yourself comfortable!

The backyard is a true standout here with its resort-style design, including a saltwater pool, spa, covered patio, raised seating area, and sweeping views. And, of course, there are the countless amenities available as part of being a Pinnacle Village resident, including a clubhouse, fitness center, golf course, both indoor and outdoor pools, pickleball court, recreation room, tennis courts, spa and hot tub. –Ken Miller 2306 Fayetteville Ave., Henderson, $849,000, 702.525.3658, License No. BS.0039338

Get Smart When choosing a new home, you’ve got to be smart—literally. Smart homes are a reality and no longer just something from the classic cartoon, The Jetsons. Toll Brothers’ division vice president of sales and customer experience Colleen McCullough notes, “I think people don’t realize the amount of impact that technology has had on the building industry.” She explains that because the homes being built today are so much farther along technologically, it makes sense to design a new home so you can customize it with your desired smart features, rather than pay to upgrade a resale home. –AD EXPERT LOOK

Zane Weber

Maximizing Space Indoor/outdoor living is one of the most noticeable design trends of the last decade, and it shows no signs of slowing down as builders and buyers seek to lose the walls between interior and exterior spaces. Realtor/ broker Tamara Heidel explains, “It’s so nice to be able to entertain indoors and outdoors so easily. Anybody buying a new home that doesn’t have a retractable wall is making a huge mistake.” –AD

Zane Weber is one of those Las Vegas rarities; he was actually born and raised here. Weber’s insider knowledge of the area makes him uniquely qualified for his job as a Realtor, and he explains, “I used to be in the nightclub industry, so I have a good relationship with people who used to visit town and are now getting into the real estate market here.”

When asked what makes the Las Vegas market unique, Weber notes, “Las Vegas itself. It’s a 24-hour town. We have so many different types of private schools, we have the amenities, the entertainment and we have some of the best world-class food.”

Weber advises people to capitalize on the current interest rates to get the most for their real estate dollars.

He notes, “I think it’s a good buyer’s market right now, especially with the interest rates. The average person can afford more.”

Weber’s pro tip is encouraging prospective buyers to explore the area and do in-person research. “If you’re looking to not just invest and you want to live here, you need to come out and get an idea of the areas. Don’t go off of what you buddy’s aunt says about Henderson; come out and look for yourself.” –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 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. 2.28.21 6.14.20 LAS VEGAS 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.

Making the Rounds Las Vegas has the most unique skyline in America. Where else can you find a pyramid, next to a medieval castle, near a Manhattan skyline, near an Eiffel Tower replica, near a space needle? And smack dab in the middle of this skyline is the High Roller (The Linq Promenade, 866.328.1888), a bright, beautiful observation wheel that stands 550 feet. With its great height and floor-to-ceiling glass cabins, the attraction offers incredible 360-degree views of Sin City. Daytime viewings reveal the stunning mountainous scenery that surrounds the Las Vegas valley, and late-afternoon rides offer a chance to watch a gorgeous sunset. But nighttime views are ideal, for they capture the dazzling big-city lights. One spin cycle lasts half an hour, which seems like enough time to relax and take in all the scenery, but by the end of one revolution, you’re already thinking about taking another spin. –Alex Haase
