Steven Funkhouser
General manager is on top of his game Steven Funkhouser just opened Emporium at Area15 a few months ago, but he’s played a supporting role in the company for more than four years. Before he moved to Las Vegas, the general manager helped launch the brand’s S.F. and Berkeley, Calif., locations. Funkhouser has a long history in the food and beverage industry, starting off as a bartender for various dive bars around the City by the Bay, eventually graduating to managing huge nightclubs. But in 2017 he switched it up and decided to join Emporium, a company that creates kid-like fun for adults in the form of an arcade bar. As the general manager, Funkhouser helped build Emporium’s new location, its sixth, from the ground up. There was nothing but empty walls and construction, and now the two-story space is packed with impressive local art, video games, classic pinball machines and a craft cocktail bar. “I’m a very active person, I would never do well behind a desk,” he says. “I’ve always liked walking around, being social, talking with people. As a manager, I’m always getting to know my guests, being out in the scene. And I’ve always been a manager willing to do anything—I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and helping out. When
“I wear a lot of hats at Emporium and one of them is doing the bar program,” Funkhouser says. He helped put together the menu, which includes local draft beers and a large liquor selection, and even created the bar’s craft draft cocktails. There are four choices, like the Sonic Boom Old-Fashioned, mixed with Templeton rye whiskey, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, Solerno blood orange liqueur and cherry bark vanilla bitters. All the craft draft cocktails are made daily. –KM

David Chiti
Lounging around Caesars Palace All the fun experiences you’re having at the lounges at Caesars Palace is thanks in part to David Chiti, general manager of lounges for the property. He oversees the ordering of spirits, scheduling of the staffs, the creation of the cocktail programs, nurturing the vibe of each space and making sure each spots’ guests are accommodated. “That’s my favorite part of the job, meeting my guests and seeing my returning guests,” says the Canadian native. The food and beverage industry is one Chiti has been a part of for more than two decades in Las Vegas. He’s been behind the bar at big nightclubs, he’s spent 11 years as a certified sommelier at one of the Strip’s top French restaurants, and in 2018, he joined Caesars Palace, where he helped manage Montecristo Cigar Bar. Recently, Chiti was promoted to his new title, and he’s added Vista Cocktail Lounge (where we met with Chiti for this story), Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, Alto Bar and Stadium Bar, a new upscale sports lounge set to open this spring. When Chiti is off the clock, he loves spending time with his wife and three boys. He actually met his wife while they were both bartending at a nightclub on the Strip; they will celebrate their 17th
it. The Horse Soldier Old-Fashioned is mixed with Horse Soldier bourbon, house-made syrup consisting of sugar, cinnamon sticks, peeled orange rinds, cherry juice and water, and aromatic bitters. Horse Soldier is a bourbon created by soldiers who traveled to Afghanistan and defeated a Taliban leader. The bottle’s seal is made from a mold that uses metal from the Twin Towers. When ordering this cocktail at Vista, ask the bartender more about this fascinating story. –KM

Pools are open again, but operations are significantly different from before. For example, at Wet Republic at MGM Grand and Liquid at Aria, reservations will be required for all hotel and nonhotel guests, and VIP sections will be separated to allow for social distancing. In addition, rigorous cleaning protocols will be implemented.
What a difference a year makes! In 2020, there was no attendance allowed at sporting events in Las Vegas once the shutdown was announced. Now, not only are your favorite teams back, you can buy tickets! And popcorn! And beer!
At Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort, you can now access a digital store directory on your phone. There’s also a digital coupon book with nearly 50 offers, which you can access by going to miraclemileshopslv.com.

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, or plexiglass partitions being used, congregating behind each other not allowed,and plexiglass partitions between dealers and players. Restrictions were set to ease May 1.
Shows will vary. For example, Absinthe at Caesars Palace, which is performed in a tent, is currently not in the round. Rather, the audience faces one side of the theater, with the action taking place across from them. It has a 660-seat capacity, but as of press time offered 180 seats per show. And everyone is required to wear a mask, audience members and performers included.
Most restaurants require reservations, but not all. Many will text or call when your table is ready. You’re required to wear your face mask until you reach your table. It may feel much more intimate, as tables have space between them. At some restaurants, permanent menus are sanitized between each use. Condiments won’t simply be stored on the table, and are sanitized between customers.

mask-wearing enforced.
Las Vegas is getting closer and closer to full operation, but your safety is still the top priority. Here are few more things you should know about efforts to make you as safe as possible. 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. You must still wear your mask in public areas, including the casino. While the vaccine rollout has been successful so far countrywide, precautions must still be taken. It’s also considerate of fellow guests and resort workers.
When you ride elevators and escalators, there may be a line, as guests are being asked to maintain adequate spacing between groups and try to ride with their own party, or ride with fewer people. Employees often clean and sanitize commonly touched areas inside the cars. When in lines, practice social distancing.
Leave room between you and people other than your travel companions whenever possible. Be patient—even though you are separated, you’ll still be moving. When you depart, one of the best ways is to check-out on the TV in your room. Some hotels have check-out kiosks that are sanitized often.
