NOTES

From the Editor Glorious Food!

It’s no secret that Las Vegas is the place to be if you’re a foodie. Our restaurant experiences are some of the finest in the world, and we offer just about every type of cuisine you can list. So this issue is very much focused on food. We can’t wait for you to try some of the places we’ve featured in this issue, so let’s get down to it!

It might surprise you that May is National Burger Month, but it probably won’t surprise you that Las Vegas has plenty of great ways to celebrate that month. We’ve collected some of the newest options available (“Meat Matters!” p. 22), including celebrity chef Bobby Flay’s newest Las Vegas venture, Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay, at Caesars Palace. Check these places out—and don’t forget the fries.

There are plenty of amazing bars up and down the Las Vegas Strip, but one stands out, as much for its decor and ambience as for its cocktails and its caviar: Petrossian Bar at Bellagio. And we’ve spotlighted the bar’s recent upgrade to its caviar program (“Raising the Bar,” p. 18). Trust us, this is something you don’t want to miss, especially for fans of the delicacy.

Want more? Gladly! As Vegas continues reopening, so do its restaurants, and one of Las Vegas Magazine’s favorites, Harvest

by Roy Ellamar, has returned to Bellagio (“Hunting and Gathering,” p. 15). Hot

downtown property Circa Resort & Casino has plenty of buzzworthy restaurants, particularly Barry’s Downtown Prime (“Food Is Just the Beginning,” p. 10). A newer kid on the block, Brera Osteria in The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo, is an ideal destination for fans of Italian food (“A Relaxing Break,” 12). And if you’re looking for a truly unique experience, veer off the Strip and head straight to Blackout Dining in the Dark, where you dine with a companion in complete darkness (“Sensory Appeal,” p. 8).

But this week’s issue has so much more.

Entertainment is back in a big way, and this week you can get tickets to magician Mat Franco at The Linq Hotel(“Feel Like a Kid Again,” p. 20), Tape Face at Harrah’s (“Not-So-Silent Comedy,” p. 7), Soul of Motown at Westgate Las Vegas (“Feel the Love,” p. 15), and Murray the Magician at both the Laugh Factory at Tropicana Las Vegas and at Fantasy at Luxor (“Sharing His Talents,” p. 12).

May is a hot month for nuptials, and managing editor Nina King has gathered a variety of places to tie the knot while in town (“I Do! Do You?” p. 24).

A quick note: Las Vegas is entering a time of great transition, with everything expected to completely reopen June 1. Be ready to be flexible. We appreciate you!

Sensory Appeal Walk into the lobby at Blackout Dining in the Dark, and you’ll be walking into an adventure for the senses; well, except for the sense of sight.

In this unique dining experience, patrons first make a series of choices that help guide the chef into the creation of your meal. Then they are led through an area that acts much like an airlock, but just for light, and into the completely dark dining room. You’ll get a complete, multicourse meal here, with the emphasis on really using those senses to try to figure out what you have eaten. You won’t be allowed to take your phone or electronics in, so dine with someone you can talk to for a whole meal without interruption.

Once you’ve finished up dessert, you’ll be led back to the lobby, get a rundown of your meal and see how keen your sense of smell and taste really are. –Nina King

Stretching Out the Fun

In the Swim Here in the desert, the whole idea of seeing sea creatures swimming around seems a little far-fetched—until you enter Shark Reef Aquarium. On the way in you’ll see Komodo dragons and snakes, and get to read a little about the denizens of the attraction and about the Shark Reef itself, which is designed to resemble a temple being reclaimed by the ocean.

The aquarium area is staged like a sunken ship, and a whole host of different

.8. 5.23.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

types of sharks, sea turtles, octopi, rays, piranha and jellyfish inhabit the various tanks in the attraction. An especially neat area is the glass-walled tunnel, where sharks of various sizes swim around you.

In addition, the Undersea Explorer VR Theater is a motion-platform where the shows take you right down to the depths, with films about humpback whales, tiger sharks and hammerheads. –NK Mandalay Bay, 702.632.4555

It just keeps going and going and going and … We’re talking about Longbar at The D, which runs the length of the hotel property and has tons of seating.

Guests can watch as talented bartenders whip up cocktails, flair bartending-style. Specialty and craft cocktails are available, as well as nine beers on tap.

And with the hockey playoffs, this is a great place to catch the games, as multiple high-def TVs with a high-tech sound system put people right in the middle of all the action. –Kiko Miyasato The D, 702.388.2400S

Food Is Just the Beginning

Downtown steakhouse has quickly become a hot spot Longtime Las Vegas residents are very familiar with the name Barry S. Dakake. He’s one of the city’s preeminent chefs, known for years as the face and talent behind N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms (a huge celebrity hangout). That restaurant closed years ago, but Dakake has returned to the Vegas dining scene in a big way—at a new steakhouse at Circa Resort & Casino that bears his name.

Even though it’s only been open a few months, Barry’s Downtown Prime has quickly become a must-visit destination for downtown visitors.

For starters, it just looks fantastic—from the exclusive-feeling entrance to the retro interior, this place exudes quality and comfort. If the Rat

.10. 5.23.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Pack was around today, you’d completely expect to see them here every night.

What you’ll notice immediately is how special you’ll feel when you’re here—just like at his previous restaurant, Dakake gets personally involved with customers, walking the floor, checking on everyone’s meal and striking up conversations.

His enthusiasm for food and the dining experience is infectious. You’ll be coming back here for his presence as much as the food itself.

And what food it is! From appetizers such as the egg noodle bone marrow luge (served with crispy pancetta, sherry wine, Parmesan, Reggiano and garlic butter) to entrées such as classic surf and turf (accented with truffle aioli and red

wine sauce), everything on this menu needs to be tried at least once. That also goes for the steak selection, from Barry’s Steak (a 12-ounce rib cap from Creekstone Farms in Arkansas) to a 40day, dry-aged, 40-ounce tomahawk. The steak sauces are a must, from creamy horseradish and chimichurri to au poivre and roasted shallot red wine.

Longtime fans of Dakake’s will immediately notice the side called George’s Cream Corn (a N9NE favorite). This is a revelation and a true classic. Try it and you’ll see what we mean.

And vegans, don’t shy away! Dakake has prepared plenty for you, from vegetable meatloaf to a roasted heirloom cauliflower. –Ken Miller

Sharing His Talents Is he the hardest-working performer on the Las Vegas Strip? If not, he’s definitely in the running. Murray Sawchuck, better known to his fans as Murray the Magician, currently shows off his ridiculous talents at both the Laugh Factory at the Tropicana Las Vegas and during “half time” at Luxor’s adults-only production Fantasy. Sawchuck simply does it all—even without his illusions, he’s just a funny dude. He’s also extremely likable, appealing to all age groups.

And Sawchuck learned a valuable lesson during the pandemic shutdown of 2020: He loves working with his fiancée, Dani Elizabeth. The couple performed plenty of illusions at their home for social media, and Sawchuck now performs illusions with her on the Fantasy stage.

Las Vegas Magazine owes Sawchuck a great debt as well: Some of those social media videos he and Elizabeth created were contributed to Las Vegas Magazine as part of its Vegas at Home series, a welcome respite from the pressures of 2020 and a reminder that the Strip’s mega-talents were going to return. Welcome back, Murray! –Ken Miller

Sights and Delights

A Relaxing Break Take some time for yourself at Brera Osteria. There’s nothing better than starting your evening a little early and indulging in an apertivo, a pre-dinner drink stimulating your appetite for the main courses to come.

And Brera, named for the neighborhood in Italy where the apertivo became an art, has a whole menu of dishes designed just for that stimulation, like bruschetta, cheese fonduta, marinated olives, tartare, meatballs, pizza and fish. Accompany those

.12. 5.23.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

with a blood orange martini, an Aperol spritz or a selection from several delicious negroni varieties. You can’t go wrong.

Later, indulge in salads, fritto misto with calamari, carpaccio, handmade pastas, gnocchi and risotto, plus lamb chops, ribeye and roasted chicken. But if one of those dishes from apertivo hour still calls, you can still find it on the dinner menu. –Nina King The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian & The Palazzo, 702.414.1227

Get yourself psyched up, because you’re about to fly through time and space on SlotZilla, the zipline experience that zooms right down the center of the Fremont Street Experience.

SlotZilla offers two ziplines to choose from, one in a seated position and one in a superhero position. If that’s not your thing, you can still zoom through time and space by simply looking overhead, where the enormous VivaVision screens display a light-and-music show. VivaVision went through a remodel relatively recently, which actually allows the screen to be viewed before sundown. Wow! –NK vegasexperience.com

Deep Breaths, Now

Muster your courage for afternoon of thrills “You must be high.” Whether or not you’ve ever heard that term in your day-to-day life, you’ll experience it when you head up to the observation deck at The STRAT for a little fun in the sun.

At the top of the iconic tower at the hotel-resort are three thrill rides that will leave you feeling brave and bemused, dazed and confused, all at the same time.

The story of those amusement rides begins with the gala opening of The STRAT casino in 1996, where two rides were introduced: The Big Shot and the Let It Ride High Roller coaster. The drop tower ride Big Shot, looking like the biggest

.14. 5.23.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

ring-the-bell game you’ve ever seen, propels its riders straight up at approximately 45 mph from 921 feet to 1,081 feet. No, you can’t wear your flip-flops.

Although the roller coaster closed in 2005, two other heart-pounding rides opened. The X-Scream actually emulates a roller coaster itself, as a car rolls back and forth on a piece on track. Of course, it’s not exactly the gentlest of motions, and it may just startle the heck out of you. And then, of course, it’s time to get tipped over the edge—and if that doesn’t freak you out, we don’t know what will.

Wait, we do know what will: The huge arcing arms of the inverted centrifuge ride Insanity, which hangs you 64 feet over the edge of the tower while rapidly spinning (3 Gs). And it’s not even level—you will be spinning at an angle. Oh, sweet geez.

All the rides have separate requirements, from age to height, weight and medical restrictions.

Bonus thrill points: Jump off the tower. Yes, you can, on SkyJump, a controlled plummet all the way to the bottom, 855 feet down. Chicken out? You? No way. –Nina King The STRAT, 702.380.7777

Hunting and Gathering It’s exactly as its name suggests—Harvest by Roy Ellamar is big on fresh, farmer’s market-inspired ingredients, local agriculture and sustainably produced proteins.

Chef Roy Ellamar’s restaurant concept is a clean, nature-inspired space with beautiful wood décor and greenglass accents. Ellamar’s upbringing around farmers and fishermen shines through in a menu packed with creative herbivore and carnivore delights.

Start with a specialty cocktail, particularly an option where spirits are mixed with cold-pressed juices. Appetizers include freshly made stone-oven pita bread with dips like smoky eggplant, tahini and roasted pepper; or opt to share a charcuterie board. Pescatarians can delight in raw kusshi oysters, or the sustainably caught Wild Isle salmon or diver scallops or a favorite, the crispy salt and pepper shrimp.

Vegetarians can dig into grilled broccoli and fresh burrata or the English pea soup. Land lovers have to try the organic, Harvest roasted half chicken. And don’t worry, steaks are on the menu, too—grass-fed beef that includes cuts like filet mignon and ribeye. –Kiko Miyasato Bellagio, 702.693.8865

Feel the Love There are few musical genres that offer more pure joy and fun than Motown, and hit tribute show Soul of Motown at Westgate Las Vegas delivers all the hits you remember, courtesy of CJ Jefferson, Sean Stewart, Mo Crosby, Anthony Bailey and Brandon Godfrey. You’ll have trouble staying in your seat when “Dancing in the Street” is performed, and prepare to get a bit emotional during “Stand By Me,” one of the best songs of all time. –Ken Miller Westgate Las Vegas, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Trustworthy IPA This is Trustworthy Brewing Co.’s original beer, created in its main brewery in Burbank, Calif. “A lot of tropical, hop aroma on the nose and the body is going to finish really clean,” Parekh says. “Our IPA is one that you can drink and feel like you can have another one without it fatiguing your mouth. You get a good amount of hop bitterness on the finish.”

If you’re a fan of traditional West Coast IPAs, you’ll love Trustworthy IPA. Another favorite, says Parekh, is the Las Vegas-brewed signature amber ale, A Year in the Making. –KM

Robert Parekh

GM brews a passion for craft beer Robert Parekh is doing something on the Las Vegas Strip that no one else is doing—brewing beer. As the general manager for Trustworthy Brewing Co. inside The Grand Canal Shoppes on The Palazzo side, the restaurant and bar is also home to an onsite brewery.

“When the opportunity for Trustworthy arose, I thought, ‘Now I can translate my love for selling craft beer to potentially producing craft beer,’” says Parekh. Before he joined the company in 2019, Parekh had a long career in food and beverage, which began in the Bay Area in California.

He moved to Vegas in 2004 to expand his industry knowledge. Parekh’s resume is quite extensive and impressive—he’s helped launch lounges, build bar programs and served in management positions for spots including Rojo Lounge at Palms Place, PBR Rock Bar at Miracle Mile Shops, Diablo’s Cantina and The Pub (both were at the former Monte Carlo), Border

Grill at Mandalay Bay and Tap Sports Bar at MGM Grand. When he got the call to see if he’d like to join Trustworthy, “I thought it would be a very fun, cool thing to do because by then I had developed a very strong passion for beer,” he says. “I’ve always had a strong beverage passion—mixology, cocktails, spirits; I’ve always leaned toward that.”

Not only does Parekh manage the day-today of the restaurant side of the operation, but you can also find him producing the beer that’s served at Trustworthy—and he’s a level two cicerone. “I fell in love with beverage, especially beer,” he says. “My passion has become about the beer, not just identifying styles and enjoying the flavor profiles but also the science and production behind it. As I’ve progressed in my career, I’ve found a lot of enjoyment not just in the daily interactions with staff and guests but also ... in the science behind the brewing process.” –Kiko Miyasato

Bellagio lounge ups the ante with new caviar program

By Ken Miller One of the best things about Las Vegas is that ever-present promise of surprise— that even the most seemingly ordinary experiences will contain that element that creates memories to last a lifetime. Nowhere is that element delivered with more elegance and panache than Petrossian Bar, an already high-end experience that has now added a new caviar menu.

Petrossian has one of the best locations on all the Las Vegas Strip—in Bellagio, right off the reception area, allowing plenty of people watching in complete comfort, whether from the indoor “patio” area (with live piano music to really set the mood) or “inside” near the bar. And even if you’ve been to the venue many times, please plan on scheduling a return trip. You do not want to miss this.

Let’s start with the new cocktail program; after all, you’re at a bar. That’s the

Bellagio 702.693.7111, Bellagio.com

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

first thing you’re ordering, right? This is cocktail presentation unlike any you’ve seen before: • A glass globe, etched with the countries of the world and a caravel in the center, gets filled with the Worldly Old-Fashioned, a delicious combination of Yamazaki 12-year Japanese whisky, WhistlePig 10-year rye, Craigelliache 13-year Scotch, Demerara syrup and Angostura bitters. Remove the globe from its delicate holder, uncork the end, and enjoy.

• A container filled with smoke arrives at your table, piquing your curiosity. You have to wait for the smoke to dissipate before seeing what’s within—the Poof!, a cocktail made with Bulleit rye, Copper & King apple brandy and Carpano Antica sweet vermouth. And this one comes with small bites, duck confit croquettes.

• Perhaps the most impressive of all: The Bellagio Martini. It’s served on a sizable block of ice, containing a conical mold which holds the martini glass perfectly. In addition to the ample olives in your vodka-based drink full of lemon essence, this presentation also comes with a small bite—an Ossetra caviar cigar,

so light and full of concentrated flavor in every bite.

It’s a good thing the latter comes with caviar, for it will prepare your palate for the wonders still to come. As Bellagio executive chef Wesley Holton puts it, “Petrossian Bar has long been heralded as an iconic people-watching destination featuring exceptional caviar, high-end spirits, and tea service. We took those core elements and world-renowned offerings, then infused them with modern concepts for an engaging lobby bar experience that cannot be found anywhere else.” Start your epicurean experience here with Cav-

Poof!

iar Tacos, thin and crispy potato shells filled with a base of Hamachi, lemon, chives and olive oil, after which they are topped with Daurenki caviar. Eat this bit by bit or all at once—there’s no wrong way.

Up next is something which feels almost counterintuitive, but which might change your mind about caviar’s flavor profile forever: caviar pie. This time, the caviar arrives atop a tart made with green apples, lemons, crème fraîche and brown butter. The saltiness of the caviar perfectly offsets the extreme sweetness of the tart, creating something truly unique.

We could eat this every single day (if we could afford it!).

Now it’s time for dessert, and this is where Petrossian really puts things over the top. The dark chocolate “caviar” presentation has so many elements it’s hard to know where to start. The dark chocolate pearls—that look exactly like caviar— are accompanied by Meyer lemon gelée, fresh citrus supremes, rose champagne sorbet and vanilla Chantilly, which you spread on thin, circular hazelnut tuiles.

It’s just heaven from start to finish.

If you’re not a caviar fan, there’s still plenty to enjoy here. Petrossian also offers an elevated afternoon tea experience from 1-4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Enjoy freshly baked scones, flavorful dessert and your choice of tea. As with everything else on the Las Vegas Strip these days, reservations are required.

should have a good idea of what to expect. Two highlights: a smashed cell phone that later appears in the last place you would expect; and a wine bottle and a cardboard tube that continually have you doing double takes.

Like great songs, it doesn’t matter how many times you see Franco perform these; they’re endlessly entertaining.

But the illusion Franco is proudest about is the one he closes the show with, one in which he recaps the events of the show with a deck of cards. This trick is the one that gives the show its name: Magic Reinvented Nightly. As Franco told me in an interview, “There’s something about the simplicity of it, the personal element of it. It’s based on an old trick called ‘Sam the Bellhop’ … I thought, ‘I’ve been doing this routine since I was a kid.

Why don’t I customize it and make my own version?’ That one has a special place for me.”

Just like Mat Franco himself now has a special place in the hearts of all those who have seen him perform.

Celebrate National Burger Month with some of the best examples in Las Vegas A lot of food items get their special day—spaghetti, whipped cream, bagels, popcorn, you name it. But some even get a whole month.

And what would you expect from one of the best creations to ever grace our planet? The burger is just a perfect thing, a balance of meat, bread and all the toppings you can imagine.

Anyone who follows celebrity chef Bobby Flay know that he’s a huge fan of the burger.

No doubt you’ve seen some of his mouth-watering creations on the Food Network over the years. Now you can experience Flay’s burger passion first-hand at his new restaurant at Caesars Palace, Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay. There’s so much to tempt you here, and

they all have those Flay touches you’ve come to know and love. There’s the Crunchburger, topped with cheese and potato chips (a Flay favorite), and the Nacho burger, topped with queso, tomato salsa and pickled jalapeños (pictured on the cover of this week’s issue).

Sickie’s Garage Burgers & Brews at Town Square added four new burgers to its already impressively decadent menu to celebrate the occasion. There are plenty of inventive, original creations here, but a few you definitely want to check out: The Sickcilian, a sausage patty topped with marinara,

pepperoni, peperoncini, provolone cheese, ham, lettuce and mayo; and the Mozzerati, a half-pound Angus beef burger patty topped with deep-fried cheese curds, marinara and mozzarella cheese. (Insider tip: Sign up for the rewards program to snag a free burger!)

If you want a change of pace from the usual ground beef burger, you’ll want to check out the ultra-flavorful jerk turkey burger at Carson Kitchen downtown. It’s part of a new spring menu from chef/owner Cory Harwell and executive chef Scott Simon, and it’s a revelation, served with mango chutney slaw.

For a truly over-the-top experience, order the Hangover burger at Favorite Bistro at the Linq Promenade. Made with a half-pound of Black Angus beef and smothered with caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, cheese sauce, fries with bacon, ketchup demi, mayo and a sunny-side up egg, it’s hard to tell if this is meant to cure a hangover or give you one. Either way, it’s unforgettable and, like the movie it’s named after, so Vegas!

Some of you want that burger experience, but you’re vegetarian or vegan. No problem!

There are options all over town, but for one of the best, head to Hearthstone at Red Rock Resort, where you can get an Impossible burger with some delicious toppings like vegan cheddar, fresh veggies, vegan mayonnaise and avocado spread.

Wedding season is in full swing in Las Vegas 24

7.5.21

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

ove and marriage certainly had a heck of a 2020. With the pandemic’s effects, many weddings across the world were postponed until this year. Here in Las Vegas, the Marriage Capital of the World, that means the rest of 2021 is likely to be busy, busy, even busier than a normal year.

Reservations are key here for your nuptials, besides getting the actual marriage certificate.

To get your marriage certificate, you’ll need to fill out and print the application, then head to the Clark County Marriage License Bureau (201 E. Clark Ave.) downtown. You must both appear in person, and it can be busy, so be prepared to wait.

Make sure you have proper identification before you get in line. And although the Office of Civil Marriages can perform civil ceremonies, time right now is extremely limited and is by appointment only, so it might be wise to seek other options.

Thunderbird Hotel

And options you have! From golf course clubs to gorgeous poolside weddings, walk-in venues to drive-thru delights, Las Vegas earns its title of wedding capital. (There’s even a Wedding Chamber of Commerce, so you know it’s big biz here!) There are more than 50 wedding chapels

around the city, and costs range from a bare-bones $39 to many, many thousands with many amenities included.

Aria (702.590.5683) on the Las Vegas Strip has amazing packages and locations to choose from, accommodating up to 60-80 guests. Packages can include ceremony, officiant, flowers and much more.

The retro Thunderbird Hotel (702.489.7500) downtown offers a ballroom, plus the beautiful, intimate Tree of Love chapel, with a natural tree providing the background to your nuptials.

There’s also another tiny chapel for small ceremonies.

At Westgate’s Chapel of Crystals (702.327.3600), find a wild number of options, from renewal of vows and commitment ceremonies to Elvis weddings in a beautiful, gold-accented chapel. It also has two other sister chapels conveniently located near the Marriage Bureau.

Vegas is known for its “quickie” weddings, and there are many places to simply tie the knot and go. The Little White Wedding Chapel (702.382.5943), near the Arts District, is known for its drive-thru weddings, and has married about 800,000 couples since 1955. The south end of the Strip plays host to the even older The Little Church of the West (702.739.7971), which opened in 1942. It was modeled after an Old West church, with wood panels and wooden pews and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

If it’s not time for the ceremony yet, but it’s past time to pop the question, proposal packages can be set up at a variety of places, including Paris (702.946.4063), where the Eiffel Tower replica is the backdrop.

It includes champagne, glasses, roses, photography and video.

You provide the ring.

LAS VEGAS IS A CITY where you can truly indulge. And there’s nothing wrong with that. However, as millions of tourists have discovered, it’s possible to seriously overdo it. If you’re one of those currently reading this while recovering, know this: There’s a nice flip side to our city as well, one that focuses on taking things easy and feeling healthy. We’ve compiled a list of some of the best examples of that. Take advantage of some or all of these. And feel better!

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, and non-GMO. As a bonus, vegetarian and vegan dishes abound.

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.

Rail Explorers 877.833.8588 This 4-mile railroad tour is a great way to get outside and view the desert landscapes surrounding Boulder City, Nev. But you have to do all the work. Each rail cart is pedal-powered, so you’ll definitely work in some cardio during this adventure.

True Food Kitchen The Forum Shops at Caesars, 702.340.2600 For a long time, health food was “ew!” food. But thanks to the wellness boom, healthy food is often very, very tasty, 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.

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 (and there’s plenty of side hikes with varying degrees of difficulty). Either way, you’ll feel accomplished.

FEATURED PROPERTY

Now This is Living!

Queensridge estate exceeds all expectations There are “Wow!” factor homes in the Las Vegas Valley, and then there’s … this home.

You’re unlikely to find a residence up to the high standard of quality that you’ll find at this estate in Queensridge, one of the most sought-after luxury communities in Las Vegas. There’s so much ornate detail throughout this home that it’s difficult to pick a place to start. Let’s just sum it up by saying this is luxury defined.

.30. 5.23.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

This 18,000-square-foot, one-story residence, listed by Anthony Spiegel for The Ivan Sher Group, even has its own name: “Villa Piedra,” which translated means “House of Stone,” due to its detailed stonework (exterior and interior spaces) and Old World-inspired design.

Spread out over 2.8 acres, Villa Piedra boasts an entryway unlike any you’ve ever seen—as you pass through the entry gates and drive to

the front door through the motor court, you’ll pass by not one but two three-car garages, one on each side (and yes, there’s room for an RV or a boat). The immaculately kept landscaping offers plenty of eye-catching detail, and you haven’t even gone inside yet.

As you make your way to the home’s centerpiece, a 2,700-square-foot grand living room that truly lives up its name with 30-foot vault-

ed ceilings and architectural details that make it look like a luxury hotel lobby, you’re struck by the great use of space, from the enormous but well-appointed kitchen to a functional, comfortable office space.

As you explore further, you’ll encounter seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and each feels very private, especially the master suite, with his and her bathrooms. There’s also a library and

movie theater, as well as a 1,000-square-foot detached casita to make your guests feel like pampered royalty.

The backyard is particularly striking, featuring a luxurious, domed lanai leading to a large, decked-out barbecue, outdoor spa and enormous pool. In addition, there’s a fruit orchard on the property’s west side, host to a variety of different fruit trees.

Here’s the best part: There’s plenty of room to grow here. The 2.8 acres includes a 1.34-acre parcel that has yet to be developed.

That means you could add to what’s already a remarkable property, creating a compound like no other in the entire city. –Ken Miller 9409 and 9405 Kings Gate Court, $16,000,000, 702.445.4555, License No. BS.0145405

look like, at least for now.

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 kiosk option and with traditional front-desk options. During the pandemic, Caesars Entertainment rearranged front-desk areas and lines to aid in social distancing, and provides hand sanitizer. Some hotels have plexiglass installed at the front desk.

Hand sanitizer, everywhere! Every hotel is required to have stations for hand sanitizing throughout. MGM Resorts’ properties even offer new handwashing stations. You’ll notice that some employees are masked and some are not, depending on vaccination status, 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. Employees undergo a health self-screening daily.

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 little, if any, attendance allowed at sporting events across the country (and none whatsoever in Las Vegas sports venues once the shutdown of the Strip was announced). Now, not only are your favorite teams back, you can buy tickets! And popcorn! And beer!

Experiences will vary depending on venue, but every effort is made to make the experience as safe as possible. For example, 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.

Another digital assist is available from Jules, the retail center’s chatbot, and she can be reached via text message, Facebook Messenger or the retail center’s website. And finally, QR codes make dining easy, as you can see the entire menu on your phone.

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE 5.23.21

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 depending on which casinos you are in. Some will still require some form of social distancing,some slot machines may not be available and plexiglass partitions may divide dealers and players.

Casinos are required to have a plan to disinfect all the items needed to play.

The show experience will differ widely, depending on the venue. For example, at Absinthe at Caesars Palace, seating is staggered as of press time, all parties will be seated no less than 3 feet apart, and only parties who booked together will be seated together. Everyone must wear a mask. The venue is sanitized before and after every performance. You can learn more about every show by calling the box office.

Many restaurants require reservations, although not all; no more than 80% capacity is currently allowed. 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. At some restaurants, permanent menus are sanitized between each use. Condiments won’t simply be stored on the table, and are sanitized between customers.

.36. 5.23.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Although attractions in Vegas have really rebounded, sanitation is high. One-way access may be in force, such as in like Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens. And on New York-New York’s Roller Coaster, cars are loaded with the same party.

Nightclubs have returned, but the usual operations have significantly changed. For example, at Omnia at Caesars Palace and Hakkasan at MGM Grand, touchless menus are now the norm via scannable QR codes, and currently, the venues are operated as lounges, with social distancing and 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 might not enter your room unless requested.

You must still wear your mask in public areas, including casinos, depending on where you are.

While the vaccine

rollout has been successful so far, 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 the buttons and commonly touched areas inside the cars.

When in lines, practice social distancing. Stay apart from 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.

Slaying Audiences “Whoosh!!! It just got real!” With a wave of his hand and some deft sleight of hand, Piff the Magic Dragon (Flamingo, 702.777.2782 Ticketmaster) delivers these words to hilarious effect. Most illusionists on the Strip can make a card appear from thin air, but when Piff does it, you’re almost waiting more for his one-liner than the feat itself. Therein lies the secret to Piff’s success. He completely sells his character—a guy dressed as a dragon (not a very convincing costume, by the way) who believes he is a dragon, replete with said dragon’s fantasies about princesses and gold. Add in a devil-may-care attitude and a cute sidekick named Mr. Piffles, and you’ve got comedy gold—the dragon kind. –Ken Miller
