Majordomo Meat & Fish

David Chang Takes Things to the Next Level at The Palazzo

NOTES

From the Editor What a Week!

No doubt most of you visited Las Vegas this weekend for college hoops. I get it—we had to cancel the entire event last year, and a year without March Madness is— well, madness. Odds are most of you have a pent-up desire to get back to normal, and it doesn’t get much better than filling out a bracket (or 10) and watching games until you can’t keep your eyes open anymore.

Luckily, Las Vegas has prepared plenty of options to keep you and your friends busy. I’ve rounded up just a few of the specials available (“The Madness Returns.” p. 17). Here’s hoping you all make it to the Final Four!

Some of you might also be in town for St. Patrick’s Day revelry; again, that was all canceled last year as well, so some of you probably sleep at night with visions of leprechauns drinking green beer. Again, Las Vegas Magazine has you covered with a roundup of some of the best options on the Strip (“Go Green,” p. 20). Just remember: Party responsibly and safely!

Speaking of which ... We here at Las Vegas Magazine are constantly thinking about your safety during your stay. After all, we are not out of the pandemic yet! So we’ve rounded up some of the best options that combine entertainment and worry-free conditions (“Vegas 9s: Activities for Small Groups in Las Vegas,” p. 24).

It’s no secret by now that a lot of Las Vegas shows are returning to the Strip and beyond. But some of the first shows to reopen were due to the efforts of Matt and Angela Stabile, the producers of such hits as Piff the Magic Dragon and the various “X” shows (“X” Burlesque, “X” Country, etc.)

In this issue, editor at large Brock Radke sits down with the power couple to talk about the efforts it requires to mount a show during the current crisis (“Meeting the Challenge,” p. 22).

Elsewhere in this week’s issue, we run down some of the Strip’s must-visit restaurants: Majordomo Meat & Fish at The Palazzo (“Big-Time Flavor,” p. 7); Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace (“Pub It Up!” p. 10); Giada at The Cromwell (“So-Fresh Flavors,” p. 15); and Trustworthy Brewing Co. at The Grand Canal Shoppes (“A Powerful Pint,” p. 8).

In this week’s “Friends With Benefits” section, we introduce you to a great new company, All Star Cars, which specializes in high-end vehicle rentals, and introduce you to the operating partner, Joseph Cuellar ( p. 16).

It’s been a rough last 12 months. We’re all ready to let off some steam. So go and have the time of your life. That’s what Las Vegas is all about. It’s also what Las Vegas Magazine is all about.

The Palazzo, 866.659.9643

Big-Time Flavor Although Las Vegas has transformed into a food mecca, there’s still room for the culinary scene to grow, and there may be no better chef to help guide Vegas into a new era of dining than David Chang, for his restaurant Majordomo Meat & Fish brings a fresh update to the standard steakhouse.

Photo by Andrew Bezek

Start your meal here with a cocktail, such as the Majordomo Sour, a blend of bourbon, génépi, winter spice and lemon. But, honestly, any cocktail will pair well with an order of bing bread, a fluff y sort of pancake that’s dipped or topped with several accompaniments, such as chickpea dip or shaved foie gras. Other

appetizers include the crispy shrimp with cashew, sesame and honey butter, or the towering shellfish plateau.

For the entrée, you’d be remiss to skip the smoked prime rib dinner, a massive hunk of Creekstone prime beef that’s smoked until medium rare. –Alex Haase

Twist and Shout There is no shortage of WTF moments in Las Vegas, but the thrill rides atop The STRAT SkyPod might top them all.

At nearly 1,000 feet in the sky, a triple threat of death-defying experiences await: X-Scream, Insanity and Big Shot, all with their own unique brand of OMG that will stir you to the core. And if you can’t decide which ride to buckle into first, we can’t help you there, for they’re all equally terrifying.

Best advice: Go with your gut, while you still have one.

Undoubtedly, you’ll all scream on X-Scream, a roller coaster that resembles a seesaw, which teeters over the edge of the SkyPod and vigorously wobbles back and forth like a rock-a-bye baby gone wrong. As for Insanity, there’s no better name for this carousel (which is controlled by a monstrous mechanical arm) that dangles and spins 64 feet away from the tower.

But the ride that really makes the STRAT SkyPod an adrenaline-infused cuckoo’s nest is Big Shot, a pneumatically powered ride that shuttles up and down the tower’s iconic space needle. Although it seems rather pedestrian now compared to the other rides, it’s still incredibly fun. And we all need a little LOL right now. –Alex Haase

Hits to Spare

A Powerful Pint Here in Las Vegas, there is only one brewery on the Strip, and that’s at The Venetian.

California export Trustworthy Brewing Co. features a patio-style area perfect for catching the latest games and a bar that showcases the beverages made on-site.

Drafts include the T-Shirt Weather pilsner, the oh-so-delicious Gigil rice pilsner and the What Plane? oatmeal stout. But there’s also a great cocktail menu with highlights like Smoke & Mirrors with Meteoro mezcal

.8. 3.14.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

The STRAT, 702.380.7777

and the classic margarita with Casamigos blanco tequila.

An elevated pub-style menu yields brisket nachos, barbecue chicken salad with smoked chicken and romaine, several burger options, and fried chicken schnitzel. The desserts are good for hungry creatures, too, and the beer ice cream trio showcases three different brew flavors. Yummy! –Nina King The Grand Canal Shoppes, 702.607.2337

Do you ever put Pandora or Spotify on radio mode and just zone out to some of the greatest hits in rock history? C’mon, tell me you don’t immediately smile and get out the air guitar whenever you hear songs like “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Call Me,” “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” “Barracuda,” and “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” Yeah, I thought so. But put the phone away for an hour and head to Queens of Rock, a tribute to the women who performed those classics, headed by ultra-talented Elyzabeth Diaga.

Get that air guitar ready! –Ken Miller The Mosaic on the Strip, 12+, 702.444.7622

Pub It Up!

Celebrity chef goes casual Before fiery chef Gordon Ramsay erected his popular Hell’s Kitchen restaurant located Stripside in front of Caesars Palace, he opened up his casual pub-style restaurant on the property, Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, almost a decade before. And, years later, it still draws in customers hungry for his elevated British-style pub food. And it never disappoints.

The space is a mix of comfortable and lively, as the restaurant is located right in the heart of the casino-floor action. A blend of eatery and lounge, guests can opt to hang in the bar area, with a more laid-back vibe, or in the main dining room, with a patio-type area perfect for people watching and engaging conversation.

.10. 3.14.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Beer fans will love the fact that there are dozens of beers on tap and more than 60 different labels of bottled beer. Enjoy a pint or two (or three!) of favorites like Stella Artois, Dogfish Head, Innis & Gunn, Guinness, Samuel Adams, Angry Orchard and Boddingtons. The restaurant also serves up specialty cocktails—try the Avon Came Upon Sin, a mix of Ketel One Botanical Cucumber and Mint vodka, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, rhubarb and lemon juice.

Food here is the main attraction, though, and, of course, guests can consume Ramsay’s signature dish—the roasted beef Wellington. But try the master chef’s pub-inspired creations like the popular fish and chips, onion and ale soup,

crispy chicken paillard and the grilled pub burger made with English sharp cheddar and applewood smoked bacon.

It’s a starter, but deserves the entrée spotlight—the short rib kettle chip nachos are served with English cheddar sauce, pickled peppers and sour cream. This is one British dish that gives the Mexican-food favorite a run for its money.

End the meal, if your tummy can take it, with Ramsay’s classic sticky toffee pudding served with a side of vanilla ice cream. Or you can opt for the decadent chocolate brownie topped with pretzel chips and salted peanut ice cream. Uh, yum! –Kiko Miyasato Caesars Palace, 702.731.7410

Peace of Mind It’s like a best-kept secret that you’re now privy to.

Serenity Spa is a relaxing oasis, and innovative therapies, top-of-the-line beauty treatments and a holistic approach to healing the body await.

Indulge in two seasonal specials: a 25-minute manicure along with a 50-minute pedicure, all for only $90, which includes a jasmine vanilla scrub and vanilla body butter; and the Vanilla Bliss massage, priced at only $120 for 50 minutes and $185 for 80 minutes, which includes the use of essential oils.

You’ll love the serene and upscale nail lounge, where you can pick polish colors that are unique— some are even vegan! Decide between a classic mani-pedi or a coconut luxury manicure that includes a brown sugar and Tahitian shell skin buff followed by a coconut lime massage and balm mask. If the kids are in tow, ages 5-11 years old, book a Twinkle Toes pedicure or the Fancy Fingers manicure.

Also on the spa menu are other massage options, airbrush spray tan, hair and scalp treatments and various aromatherapies. –Kiko Miyasato

Maine Course

Game On! Vegas is a mecca for casino gaming, but with HyperX Esports Arena, the city has also become a paradise for video gaming.

The 30,000-square-foot facility offers gaming stations, weekly tournaments (such as the Mario Kart-themed Saturday Night Speedway event) and a gargantuan LED video wall with all of the action.

This weekend offers something special.

As a way to celebrate the March Madness basketball tournament, HyperX transforms

.12. 3.14.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

into the ultimate watch party “March Mayhem,” where fans will be able to watch the games unfold on the 50-foot LED video wall from March 19-20, starting at 9 a.m.

Tickets are $75 and include five call brand (meaning you select the brand of liquor) drink tickets. Although food is not included, à la carte menu items such as chicken BLTs, Cobb salad and tuna poke nachos are available for an extra fee. –Alex Haase Luxor, 702.723.2345

If you’re craving lobster while in Vegas but don’t want to shell out tons of cash on a fancy lobster dinner, then head to Lobster ME, a casual eatery that serves up fresh lobster and other seafood specialties like crab and shrimp. The signature lobster rolls are the main attraction, such as the Maine Roll, which is slathered with mayo and a special seasoning, but you’ll also find comfort foods like the delectable lobster grilled cheese. Warm the soul with a cup of New England clam chowder, or break your diet with the lobster- and crab-loaded fries. –AH Miracle Mile Shops at Plant Hollywood Resort, 702.562.7837

Shop in Style

Retail destination offers high-end brands and so much more Two of the most fashionable and break-the-bank streets in the world are Via Condotti in Rome, Italy and rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris.

Together, they house the world’s most notable and most luxurious fashion brands, including Dior, Gucci, Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo, Cartier and Burberry. And, luckily for Las Vegas visitors, these streets were re-created right on the Strip at The Forum Shops at Caesars.

Guests will find not only the same fashion houses as on those two notable European streets, but even more decadent designers like Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Valentino, Kate Spade, Carolina Herrera, Versace, Christian Louboutin, Tom Ford and Saint Laurent.

.14. 3.14.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

The Forum Shops is a beautiful, multistory shopping adventure that feels as if you’re outdoors in Europe, walking under bright blue skies with puff y clouds and titanic Greek and Roman architecture and flowing fountains. Yet it’s all indoors. If you love to shop, stroll, sip and have some supper, then plan on being here for a while, as The Forum Shops really does have it all.

For those with a little lighter pocketbook, The Forum Shops also houses a few more affordable brands like H&M, Guess, Coach, Club Monaco and Hugo Boss. For accessories, shoes, makeup and more, you’ll geek out on the many options like Tiffany & Co., Victoria’s Secret, Pandora, Karma and Luck, Brighton, La Perla, Nike,

Sephora, Lush, Sunglass Hut, Skechers, Agent Provocateur and Tag Heuer.

When it comes to dining, take a seat, relax and eat at favorite eateries like True Food Kitchen, Cheesecake Factory, Planet Hollywood, Carmine’s and Water Grill. And, for those in need of some liquid relaxation, one of the best spots for mojitos is at Casa Fuente. This cigar bar and lounge not only offers some of the world’s most rare and coveted stogies for sale, but guests can take a seat at the bar or on the indoor patio and order a regular or tangerine mojito—it will be quite possibly one of the best you’ll ever have.

If you’re not a gun aficionado, don’t worry— the shooting range offers a variety of experiences to get you started. Looking to live out your special ops fantasy?

Giada and Fantasy courtesy photos Machine Guns Vegas photo by Christopher DeVargas

If you’re a fan of Giada De Laurentiis, a reservation at Giada offers a great way to sample the California-influenced flavors of the Food Network star. And the gorgeous interior is really welcoming!

The menu has fresh seafood and antipasti choices such as bacon-wrapped dates with spicy Italian sausage and Gorgonzola cream and ricotta crostini with roasted tomatoes and Calabrian honey. Fresh salads with candied lemon peel, pancetta and Parmigiana-Reggiano can easily make a meal with the addition of grilled chicken or shrimp. Pasta and risotto come with a charming pronunciation guide next to each offering, so you are sure to be saying “spaghetti” or “bucatini” the Italian way. Entrées include veal chop saltimbocca or a 28-ounce bone-in Tuscan ribeye served with a sunny-side up egg.

Italian fried chicken comes cacciatore-style. There are several desserts available, but the lemon-ricotta cookies are favorites for a reason.

And Giada does have dishes suitable for vegans and vegetarians; just ask your server. –Nina King

Art of the Tease The provocative paradise that is Fantasy is back! Sit back, relax and get hot under the collar when a dozen beautiful, talented and super-sexy females perform 15 dazzling numbers in this adults-only, topless revue.

Choreography is set to some of music’s hottest songs, and lending her vocal talents is hostess and one of Las Vegas’ most-respected singers, Lorena Peril.

Just as the show name suggests, fantasies come to life, including hot Latin-music

numbers, seductive bedroom scenes, burlesque dances, aerial performances and more. Even some boot-scootin’ country-music line dancing fills the stage!

But it’s not the bare flesh that makes Fantasy a must-see—it’s the pure talent, athleticism and demanding stage presence these ladies possess that has made this show a top entertainment success for more than two decades. –Kiko Miyasato Luxor, 18+. 702.262.4400

Joseph Cuellar

In the business of luxury and dream granting Joseph Cuellar and his company makes very specific dreams come true. As the operating partner for All Star Cars, he rents his clients some of the most coveted luxury cars on the market (like the brand-new Rolls Royce Cullinan he’s standing in front of).

Cuellar and his partners opened All Star Cars at the end of last year. “It was the perfect time and opportunity for us to reinvent ourselves,” says the Boston native, who also split his time growing up in Colombia, South America.

Cuellar has a successful background in management for the food and beverage and nightlife industries in both Miami and Las Vegas. He began his career in the Florida hot spot, working in restaurants and nightclubs. He eventually brought his talents to Las Vegas, first managing the city’s original daylife experience, Rehab at Hard Rock Hotel. He went on to manage nightlife at Park MGM at spots like On the Record and Juniper. Then he got together with his part-

ners last year, and the three of them decided to put all their nightlife and industry experience together to open All Star Cars.

“We took all the knowledge that we learned from the hospitality and nightlife industries and put that into renting exotic cars in Las Vegas,” Cuellar says. “We also provide VIP concierge services, too—help book hotels, make reservations for restaurants, pool parties. We go above and beyond; we’re not just a rental car place.

With our connections we just pick up the phone and make some calls or send some texts.”

As the operating partner, Cuellar is responsible for overseeing daily operations, which includes taking inventory and training every position. “My favorite part of the job is when we show people the cars that they’ve always dreamed of and they get into the car and learn how to operate it,” he says. “And you can see the wow on their faces—see their dreams coming true.” –Kiko Miyasato

From Mexican cuisine to brunch, indulge in varied menus Let’s talk Mexican food. Las Vegas is stacked with a multitude of restaurants dishing up this favorite cuisine, and the offerings stretch far beyond one style of establishment or one specialty dish. Along the vibrant downtown stretch known as Fremont East, one of the most popular spots for locals and visitors recently reopened, just in time to celebrate the spring season. La

Comida (702.463.9900), known for its casual, delicious fare and fresh fruit-flavored margaritas, is perfectly situated as the beginning or ending to a night strolling the bars and restaurants of Fremont Street.

Two very different, very exciting new Mexican restaurants are generating serious heat in the southwest portion of the Las Vegas Valley. From

the creators of the Black Sheep (Vietnamese) and Locale (Italian) comes El Luchador (702.260.8709), a colorful cantina also big on margaritas that just happens to perfectly complement creative cuisine such as sweet potato and black bean quesadillas, roasted chicken with nopales (cactus) and chimichurri, and crispy shrimp tacos with mango pico de gallo.

@lasvegasmagazine

looking for an ideal lunch destination, look no further than Milpa (702.247.4147), a health-conscious new concept where heirloom corn is ground in-house to make fresh, flavorful tortillas every day. Use them to build your own tacos with chipotle roasted cauliflower, citrus-adobo grilled chicken or braised beef short ribs. This rustic food will stick with you.

If you’re strolling the Strip, saunter down the Linq Promenade and consider a leisurely afternoon of chips and salsa, guacamole or nachos with your tequila of choice on the energetic patio at Chayo Mexican Kitchen (702.691.3773). It’s the perfect place to watch Vegas go by, especially once you work through those appetizers and move on to carne asada fajitas, green chili chicken enchiladas and the addictive churros rellenos dessert with dulce de leche sauce.

Once you’ve had your fill, you should know about two more Strip offerings that just returned to action. At MGM Grand, a former sushi spot and noodle house has been reborn as Grand Wok Noodle Bar (702.891.7921), dishing up a full spectrum of hearty soups, Chinese barbecue, woktossed noodles and seafood specialties.

Bold dishes like Thai basil beef fried rice, Hainanese steamed chicken and Singapore-style curry rice noodles display this new gem’s dynamic range.

Just across the street at New YorkNew York, Italian institution Il Fornaio (702.650.6500) also returns to serving its diverse menu, running the gamut from pastas and pizzas to lightly fried baby squid and rotisserie rosemary chicken. And don’t forget the refreshing bellinis and mimosas on the faux patio for brunch to align with fresh-baked pastries from the in-house bakery. So much goodness!

Speaking of weekend morning decadence, here’s a bonus brunch pick: Head west to Hearthstone (702.797.7344) at Red Rock Resort for buttermilk-fried chicken and bourbon maple syrup waffles, a chorizo-and-potato breakfast burrito, hand-shucked oysters and bottomless micheladas. Yes, that’s all from the same menu, and this off-Strip favorite has plenty more delicious ammunition where that came from. –Brock Radke

While you’re on your way to ride the wheel, really get in the mood by stopping at the Sky Lounge, where you can get a “Shamrock Sour” made with Irish whiskey, melon liqueur, sour mix and Sierra Mist.

Westgate Las Vegas keeps the fun going with a “Lucky Irish” burger at The Court in its SuperBook—a corned beef-

stuffed patty with Guinness braised onions and cabbage, pickled mustard seeds, crispy potatoes and Irish cheddar cheese. Pair that with $6 Jameson shots, $5 Guinness bottles and $9 Irish car bombs.

Want something a bit different? Lawry’s the Prime Rib offers “The Celtic Kick-Off Caper,” a three-course dinner complete with a murder mystery, at 7 p.m. on March 17 and 18. Tickets are $115 per person, and reservations are required at atouchofmystery.com.

At Fashion Show, satisfy that sweet tooth Irish-style with the Lucky Leprechaun Insane Milkshake at Sugar Factory.

It’s an Irish coffee-flavored shake blended with Jameson whiskey and poured into a green, chocolate-covered mug with leprechaun sprinkles, topped with chocolate gold coins, rainbow sour belts and a rainbow whirly pop.

The Cosmopolitan gets in on the St. Paddy’s action with a themed menu at STK Steakhouse. Until March 21, enjoy happy hour lil’ corned beef sliders and leprechaun stiletto cocktails for $7 each.

girls love it, and it’s turned into a really fun thing. After we get to go back to full capacity, we might keep one Private Edition show a week at a later time slot.

You’ve also been working toward bringing back “X” Rocks as soon as possible in a brand-new venue at Bally’s. Where does that stand?

“X” Burlesque

Entertainment couple finds past experiences are still valuable

Angela: We don’t have a set date just yet, but we’re waiting on (more) information from (officials). Hopefully it will happen in March when a larger (audience) capacity should go into effect.

Las Vegas husband-and-wife producing duo Matt and Angela Stabile are the driving force behind sexy Strip staple “X” Burlesque, sister shows “X” Country and “X” Rocks and the wildly successful comedy show starring Piff the Magic Dragon. While various Vegas shows are opening up again, the Stabiles have maintained performances by Piff and “X” Burlesque at

Matt: The new space came out to about 150 or 160 and it’s a cool little room. It will be a very intimate, close-up show, much like the old theater but much better technically, with better seats and acoustics.

the Flamingo and “X” Country at Harrah’s. We caught up with the behind-the-scenes powerhouse couple to look back on a challenging year and look forward to a brighter future.

We’ve learned a lot over the last year about the resilience of the people in the Vegas entertainment industry. Was there something you’ve experienced in your different careers that helped prepare you to deal with the challenges you’ve encountered?

Matt: I come from a TV background, and some of the big things you need in that business are to be resourceful and to really budget your money. You’ll have a couple great months and then have nothing for a month or two, and it’s all about learning to make things work and doing without. That helped me get through this a little bit, knowing what I’ve been through before, and also going through good times and understanding how to handle changes.

Angela: Our shows weren’t nearly as successful as they are today, in the beginning. I think just learning from the entire experience, from our original opening of “X” Burlesque in 2002 and going through everything we have up until now. It’s been a long learning curve.

Your shows have been among the most popular and recognizable female revues on the Strip for years now. Do you think your ability to keep live performances going in recent months has increased their notoriety?

Matt: It was a big move for us to stay open and it has worked out great, not just for us but for all our cast members and employees. It really boils down to a numbers game, and we’ve been fine-tuning the costs of each production every week. That’s a big part of what helped make it work.

You never got to put on that updated show in that new space. How different will it be?

Angela: That’s right, we had just revamped the show. It’s never been seen. It will be brand new. There are some songs and choreography coming back because we don’t want to change the entire show.

It’s classic rock, and rock is rock. The audience expects certain (songs). And I think that music may be even more popular now.

Piff the Magic Dragon

One big innovation was to change “X” Burlesque into a more intimate, VIP-style experience. It seems like that was a great move.

Angela: It’s selling out now way in advance and although it’s only 30 seats, the audience has been giving us great feedback. Everyone loves the intimacy of the Private Edition and the Q&A session is really interesting. Audiences love it, the

Activities for small groups in Las Vegas

By Ken Miller Now that the vaccine roll out is in full swing, governors across the country are easing social distancing restrictions, allowing businesses to allow in more customers.

And Nevada is no different, although its governor, Steve Sisolak, is slowly implementing these changes to make sure everyone is as safe as possible. So, at least for the time being, smaller group sizes are being encouraged. Luckily, Las Vegas has plenty of venues where smaller groups can enjoy their Vegas stay and still feel safe.

GRAY LINE TOURS 7370 Dean Martin Drive, Suite 409, 702.739.7777 Ever wanted to see the Grand Canyon? This might be the best possible way, driven in complete comfort while your group sightsees to its heart’s content.

Former Strip chefs find success and support in their ventures It is difficult to open a restaurant. You need a location, a lease, suppliers, staff— it’s daunting for a corporation

and even more so for individual chefs. But for former Strip chefs, owning a restaurant can be incredibly rewarding.

Gina Marinelli

3.14.21

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

The route to opening and challenges inherent are different for every chef, including locals darling Johnny Church, who opened Johnny C’s Diner during the pandemic. “I signed my lease two weeks before all the closures … so I had to go for it. That was an unforeseen challenge for everybody, really, but to try to open up then was even more of a challenge,” said Church. Despite plans for a different style of restaurant (he was executive chef at Aureole at Mandalay Bay and a winner of Food Network show Chopped), Church pivoted to a diner to make the most of what was already there.

When chef Gina Marinelli opened her Italian restaurant, La Strega, in early 2019, one of the most difficult things for her was “building a brand outside of the Strip! Taking that plunge and trying to create your own identity without the hotels is frightening.”

Marinelli is known for her work at D.O.C.G. and Sage.

At Americana in the northern valley, chef Stephen Blandino (who worked at Charlie Palmer Steak at Mandalay Bay) had a similar issue.

on the Strip to an independent spot very far off the Strip, the biggest challenge is finding your base. Here in Desert Shores, we had to connect almost one on one with neigh-

bors to let them know we were here ... It’s definitely worked out well, but it took some time,” he said.

Each of these chefs brought valuable skills with

them from the Strip, like Marinelli’s work ethic, something that’s not surprising, considering the sheer number of covers a typical Strip restaurant serves on any given night.

Daily experiences were very helpful, according to Blandino. “You gain an incredible amount of knowledge about all aspects of the business.

Coordinating all the priorities involved day-to-day might have been the biggest thing.”

Knowledge was key, too, for Church. “I just think, basically it sounds easy, but (knowing) quality, food costs and labor.

They’re the three bases of operating your restaurant. I mean, obviously it’s a lot more deep than that, but having done this pretty much my whole life, I kind of know how to navigate those things.”

That hard work pays off.

Church’s restaurant weathered the harshness of 2020.

“The best experience is just the response that we’ve had locally has been amazing … in the last few weeks, we’ve just noticed that the business is getting better. We struggled for months now, but people are starting to talk about it, there’s buzz, and we’re appreciative,” he said.

Blandino appreciates being part of the community, too.

“When you’re on the Strip, you don’t necessarily have a lot of regular customers; in a neighborhood like this, it’s just the opposite. And I love it.”

For Marinelli, showcasing her cooking skills is the beauty of opening her own place, “getting to cook and create with zero obstacles. Having your own operation really lets you take the handcuffs off and cook from your soul!”

High-rise unit is a stunner in more ways than one Panorama Towers is already the pinnacle of Las Vegas living, with its combination of location and high-rise luxury, but a new unit that just opened there puts the experience over the top.

The 26th-floor, 1,463-square-foot unit is fully furnished with amazing views of both the Las Vegas Strip and mountains. Listed

by Mahsheed Barghisavar of Mahsheed Real Estate, this is a jaw-dropper from start to finish.

Mix and Match It seems like home designers can never “agree” on a style and color palette for kitchen cabinetry and once everybody’s on a given bandwagon, they decide to switch it up and go in another direction! Today’s trend of two-tone cabinets offers something for everyone, and endless customization options. Realtor Meghan Jorgenson notes, “Everybody’s tastes are so different.

A lot of the two-tone cabinets I’ve been seeing in newer homes have upper cabinets that are white and lower ones that are a darker color or a blue shade.” –AD

Model Behavior The 3D printer is now being used in home design, and Forte Specialty Construction has the largest one in Nevada.

We are providing fast, accurate solutions for visual communication, entertainment, concept prototyping, and architectural design industries.” –Ken Miller

EXPERT LOOK

Tamara Heidel While Realtor Tamara Heidel is the owner and broker at her own boutique brokerage in Las Vegas, she’s quick to remind clients she’s a member of “Team Heidel.” She exudes the it-takes-a-village spirit when she genuinely raves about her team of real estate experts. “When you get one of us, you get us all. It’s a very intimate and caring process with Team Heidel. We love what we do and we love our clients. I know it sounds so clichéd, but it’s true.”

Heidel recognizes that while most buyers focus their attention solely on purchase price, there are a lot of extra things they forget about. “It’s the repair costs, the extra fees; it’s figuring out the moving, the logistics if they have a house to sell. It’s all those little things I think they don’t consider.”

Her first conversation with prospective buyers addresses their wish lists and her second verifies qualifications and feasibility of purchasing what they desire.

Her third conversation helps buyers address the myriad items they may not have considered. “I promptly send them a net sheet with an estimation of all of their costs and what they can expect up front, which eliminates a lot of problems.”

Team Heidel’s goal is to treat clients like family and their business built on referrals is a testament to their success in that mission. –Allison Duck

Protecting yourself, fellow tourists and the staff

curred, all intended to keep visitors and employees

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 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.

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. 3.14.21 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.

As the French Do Feel French and eat French food inside Michael Mina’s gorgeous, Parisian-designed Bardot Brasserie (Aria, 877.230.2742). Dishes here are rich and full-bodied, definitely for the adventurous eater. Start with escargot en croute— perfectly cooked, covered in absinthe butter and enveloped in puff pastry; or opt for the popular prime steak tartare, USDA prime filet topped with egg yolk and sauce verte and served with potato chips. Entrées include the French classic steak frites, and guests can choose from cuts like filet mignon, flat iron and a double-cut ribeye. Juicy and tender poulet roti (roasted chicken) is served with a mushroom bread pudding, and the loup de mer Basquaise (roasted sea bass) gets a spicy kick from a chorizo broth. –Kiko Miyasato

More Than a Costume The first thing you’ll probably notice about John van der Put is his costume—I mean, how could you possibly miss it? Bedecked head to toe in green and wearing a knowing smirk, he looks like a disgruntled member of the Muppets. Of course, once you actually hear Piff the Magic Dragon (Flamingo, 13+, 702.777.2782 Ticketmaster) speak, it becomes a whole different story. You’re not listening to a guy in a strange suit; you’re enjoying a magician who makes nonstop jokes about how much he loves gold and fair maidens, all with the most deadpan lilt. Within a few seconds, you are under his spell. Whether it’s magic, comedy or a combination of both, you’re more than happy to spend an hour with this medieval, mercurial madman. He’s back performing with Mr. Piffles, his dog that’s ever-present in everything Piff does onstage. –Ken MIller
