NOTES

From the Editor

Where Do You Wanna Eat? We make no secret of it here at Las Vegas Magazine: We all love restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip. All kinds. All price points.

Whenever a new restaurant opens, we’re counting the days until we can head over to check the menu out. I mean, think about it: Chefs from all over the world come here to show off their culinary skills; designers rarely spare expense to transform their environments into true showcases; and the waitstaffs really make you feel like a VIP. Like the city itself, dining here is exciting and ever-evolving.

The latest addition to our restaurant scene comes courtesy of celebrity chef Bobby Flay: Amalfi at Caesars Palace.

It’s Flay’s foray into the world of Italian cuisine, and managing editor Nina King takes you through the venue in this week’s issue (“Coastal Chic,” p. 24). King has also compiled a list of some of the other amazing Italian options on the Strip and all over the Las Vegas Valley (“A Little Italy in Vegas,” p. 34).

Not a huge fan of Italian? No worries.

We’ll also introduce you to steakhouses like StripSteak at Mandalay Bay (“Here’s the Beef,” p. 12), Mexican restaurants like Javier’s at Aria (“Que Bueno!” p. 16) and French restaurants like Mon Ami Gabi at Paris (“French Charm,” p. 14). And in case you haven’t heard yet, buffets are back,

and we’ve got one of the Strip’s best in this issue, Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace (“Decadent and Delicious,” p. 49). And who isn’t a fan of lobster? Check out our collection of some of the best examples to be found around town (“Surf’s Up” p. 38) Now that you know where to eat, it’s time to order some tickets for a show! Las Vegas has plenty of options for fans of every stripe. If you’re a music fan, you gotta check out Mandalay Bay’s Concerts on the Beach series, which this week includes a performance from Cole Swindell (“Oasis of Fun,” p. 30). Comedy fans can enjoy Kathleen Madigan at The Mirage, part of the property’s ongoing Aces of Comedy series (“The Wait is Over,” p. 32). And magic fans will definitely want to check out Penn & Teller, one of the city’s longest-running shows, at Rio (“They’ll Fool You,” p. 8).

Looking for a great new bar experience?

Check out Money, Baby! at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, which associate editor Kiko Miyasato explores in this issue (“A Home Run,” p. 22). If you’re a wine fan, you’ll want to meet sommelier Dylan Amos at Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian, featured in this week’s Friends with Benefits ( p. 20).

We can’t wait for you to discover all that Las Vegas has to offer, and we’re grateful you’ve made us part of your experience.

They’ll Fool You You can’t be a fan of magic and not also be a fan of long-running duo Penn & Teller.

They were unanimously voted into Las Vegas Magazine’s Hall of Fame class for 2021, and they’re a Las Vegas institution, celebrating their 20th year at the Rio.

What makes Penn & Teller truly fascinating is how ubiquitous the act has been over the decades; some fans discovered them on the Showtime series Bullsh*t; some discovered them on the CW’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us; some discovered them when they

were regulars on late-night talk shows in the ’80s and ’90s; others discovered them here.

But regardless of how you discovered them, there’s very little we need to tell you. They’re entertaining, revealing, insightful and quintessentially Las Vegas. –Ken Miller

Blues Bonanza Blues fans will no doubt be flocking to Las Vegas this week to catch one of the genre’s hottest guitarists, Joe Bonamassa. He’s one of the best-selling blues guitarists of this generation, 11 of his 15 solo albums hitting number one on the Billboard Blues charts. His style recalls the sounds of Cream, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, while still feeling completely original.

He’s been more or less a phenom from the age of 12, when he formed his first band. Since then, he’s jammed with legends like B.B. King, Greg Allman, Eric Clapton and Paul Rodgers. He also has direct ties to Las Vegas: His album Different Shades of Blue, which charted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, was recorded at the Palms.

Part of the fun of a Bonamassa show is seeing what instruments he’ll bring onstage—he’s an avid collector of vintage guitars and amplifiers, compiling hundreds over his decades-long career, including several “burst” Gibson Les Paul Standards from 1958-’68, considered holy grails for guitar enthusiasts. –Ken Miller

Absolutely Intoxicating

Caesars Palace production delivers laughs and excitement It’s a question anyone who’s lived long enough in Las Vegas is eventually asked by their guests: “If you could only see one show while you’re in town, which one would it be?” For at least the last 10 years, that answer more often than not is probably Absinthe, a one-of-a-kind production in a one-of-a-kind venue that has been drawing rave reviews since it debuted on the Strip in 2011. It’s the kind of show you can’t wait to tell everyone about once you’ve seen it.

The venue itself makes you feel like you’re part of something special. The Spiegeltent is ornately decorated, its circular space featuring a bar, hundreds of seats, tables, and a smallish circular

stage at the center. “That’s it?” you might be asking yourself. But you’ll forget you even thought it once the show begins. That space is used extremely effectively by a variety of acts, all connected by the extremely foul-mouthed (and extremely funny) Gazillionaire, a sleazy “producer” who brags about his money when he’s not insulting the audience and abusing his poor assistant, Wanda Widdles, who’s not above being a bit blue herself.

The acts themselves are all world-class, starting with one that may induce vertigo in some audience members—an acrobat slowly ascends to the top of a chair mountain he builds, balancing

himself along the way and sometimes actually moving the chair mountain around. Once he reaches the top, down comes The Green Fairy, an iconic part of the show displaying great curves and great pipes as she serenades the crowd with “Come On-A My House.” It’s the perfect segue into the show’s raunchy—but fun—style.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy acrobats, jugglers, strongmen and a few naughty intermissions that will have you doubled over with laughter. Just like the drink itself, this show is intoxicating—and maybe just a little addictive. –Ken Miller Caesars Palace, 18+, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Here’s the Beef The “instant” bacon (a five-spice pork belly) appetizer at StripSteak might be worth the trip alone. However, this widely popular plate is also just a precursor to the comfort-food delights combined with chef Michael Mina’s elevated culinary touches. The menu piles up steakhouse classics like a filling BLT wedge salad, oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, gigantic seafood platter and a juicy Mary’s brick chicken entrée.

But the star of StripSteak is, of course, the steak.

All cuts—filet mignon, flat iron, bone-in ribeye, New York strip and dry-aged ribeye—are cooked over a wood-burning grill, so the sear and char are perfect.

Big spenders and real meat lovers will want to order the Mishima A5 Japanese rib cap and slice it up like buttah! Guests can add the tasty StripSteak sauce or béarnaise or black truffle butter to any cut, too. If you still have room, we highly suggest the beignets for dessert especially since they come with a trio of delicious dipping sauces like vanilla crème brûlée and chocolate. –Kiko Miyasato Mandalay Bay, 702.632.7200

Float On

Racing and Much More Whether you just can’t wait for NASCAR to return or you’re still feeling the buzz from last year’s event, you can always get your racing fix in a safe, friendly environment at Pole Position Raceway. The indoor facility features electric, state-of-the-art go-karts that to up to 45 mph. As you might expect, it’s terrific fun for the whole family—especially competitive families.

Have Any New Year’s Eve Plans?

Ring in 2022 with Blue Öyster Cult at Golden Nugget For nearly five decades, Blue Öyster Cult has toured in support of its music—even dubbing its endeavors as “On Tour Forever.” It’s that commitment that garnered the hard rock-meets-heavymetal band’s large fan following and continued support in the U.S. and around the world.

While originally getting its start in 1967, and after going through many a band-name change, the late ’70s brought the band its permanent BÖC moniker and its first commercially successful album, 1976’s Agents of Fortune, with the band’s most-recognizable hit, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.” More hits followed with 1977 album Spectres’ huge radio hit “Godzilla” and the band’s live studio album Some Enchanted Evening in 1978, with more huge hits like “We Gotta Get Out of This Place” and “Astronomy.” Fire of Unknown Origin produced another iconic BÖC radio staple, “Burnin’ For You.”

Never taking a break from performing, BÖC became permanent faces on MTV and VH1—and pop culture icons with the legendary “more cowbell” SNL skit—and proceeded to take its music to the people with a relentless touring schedule.

They’re set to release a new studio album this October with all-new songs.

The band is also set to welcome in 2022 with a Las Vegas crowd when they take the stage at the Golden Nugget showroom on Dec. 31.

“The Golden Nugget stage is magical,” founding member, lead vocalist and guitar player Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser told Las Vegas Magazine. “Having performed for five decades ourselves, we are keenly aware of its history and all the stellar entertainers who have preceded us at the Golden Nugget. Ringing in the new year will be a special privilege.” What can fans expect from the band’s NYE performance? “Besides a

generous assortment of our classic songs, we’ll perform several tunes from our new album, The Symbol Remains,” Roeser said. “I know fans from all over are planning to attend, even internationally, if travel permits.”

If you haven’t snagged your tickets to BÖC’s New Year’s Eve concert yet, now’s the time to purchase them. Besides the concert, guests at the Golden Nugget can enjoy a whole slew of events to ring in the new year with parties across the property at hot spots like Rush Lounge and Troy Liquor Bar and specialty dining at Chart House, Saltgrass Steak House, Vic & Anthony’s and many more. Think about extending the holiday festivities by booking a room for the weekend at Golden Nugget, as guests can access the NYE bash on the famed Fremont Street Experience. –Kiko Miyasato Golden Nugget, 702.785.7111

Spectacularly Strange The new—and ever-expanding—immersive entertainment district known as Area15 is a playground for the mind and body. It’s art come alive. It’s delicious food and drink.

It’s where grown-ups can be kids again and kids can have some fun with the adults.

“The whole idea is we’ve created an ecosystem for excitement, art, creativity, but also for events and experiences,” says founder and CEO Winston Fisher. “Everything in (Area15) was curated and picked—this was curated to find best-in-class experiences, and it’s exciting to create something truly unique and creative. What I’m most proud of is the unabashed creativity.” Guests to Area15 have multiple floors and multiple destinations to explore—from art installations and experiences to immersive rides, virtual-reality trips, retail shops, arcade and interactive games.

The district’s biggest tenant, spread over 52,000 square feet, is Omega Mart from popular artist-collective Meow Wolf. This strange supermarket experience is sensory overload and encourages guests to discover the story behind its existence while at the same time exploring the space through sight, sound and touch. –Kiko Miyasato

Uninhibited Fun

French Charm The beauty of the Strip is that a night in Vegas could easily feel like a night in Venice, New York City or some other oft-romanticized place.

Well, at Mon Ami Gabi, you’ll be transported to a charming Parisian restaurant, which all at once feels like a casual French café and a chic, fine-dining establishment.

If you’re lucky to snag a seat on the patio, you’ll think you’re dining at an authentic French bistro. What’s not so authentic, but

When dining, obvious selections include the prime steak frites and trout almondine, but you’d feel equally satisfied ordering the cavatelli pasta with tiger shrimp or the seared salmon with confit potatoes. Pair a meal with a delectable little gem salad and a glass of French wine. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Paris, 702.944.4224

From the minute the lights go up on “X” Burlesque, you barely have time to take a breath, so tireless and relentless are the performers who tackle every number with passion and confidence. It’s a topless show, yes, but these women have serious athletic skills. Every number has its own seductive allure, from the neon costumes used during Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” to the sensual dancing and playful, knowing winks to Touch and Go’s “Would You?” There’s also plenty of humor. “X” Burlesque is close to celebrating 20 years on the Strip, and it’s not hard to see why the show has staying power. –Ken Miller Flamingo, 21+, 702.777.2782

Aria restaurant excels in decor and cuisine Imagine the best Mexican meal you’ve ever had.

Nice memory, right? That perfect enchilada?

Amazing salsa? Unforgettable margaritas? Well, get ready to replace those memories with new ones, courtesy of Javier’s, a next-level Mexican dining experience in a stunning space at Aria.

The decor at Javier’s sets the mood right away—dark tones, opulent wall art, wide, leather-lined booths and a “tequila tree” instantly make you want to take your seat and take advantage of everything Javier’s has to offer.

And you absolutely need to start your meal here with one of Javier’s signature tequila-based cocktails. The eponymous cocktail here blends Patron reposado tequila and Grand Marnier, while the Aroma De Mujer mixes silver tequila

and Chambord for a unique sip. For a lighter sip, try the Pepino, silver tequila blended with agave nectar, cucumbers and fresh lime juice. Pair any or all of these cocktails with appetizers like the trio de ceviche (featuring your choice of meat), empanadas de camarón, stuffed with shrimp, rajas, crema Mexicana and salsa quemada, or queso fundido, a decadent amalgam of cheese, onions, mushrooms, chorizo and chipotle.

Main courses here feature all your favorites like chili verde and carnitas, but poultry fans should check out pollo Josefina, a bone-in airline chicken breast braised in a creamy chipotle sauce with mushroom and onions. Another highlight is Cabo Azul, a Maine lobster enchilada and a poblano chile stuffed with shrimp and

Dungeness crab, along with an Ensenada-style shrimp taco. Another standout is chile negro (pictured), braised Angus short ribs in chile negro sauce with micro-cilantro.

If your tastes run more along the surf and turf route, definitely check out carne y camarónes, an 8-ounce filet mignon served with two Mexican wild white prawns sauteed in a garlic butter sauce. Vegetarians have choices here as well, including enchiladas stuffed with sauteed zucchini or spinach.

Desserts run the gamut from churros to flan and ice cream, but if you’re feeling adventurous, try the pastel de guayaba, a guava cheesecake topped with whipped cream. –Ken Miller Aria, 866.590.3637

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,

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.

Dylan Amos

Sommelier is uncorking those special moments For Dylan Amos—sommelier for Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian—drinking wine is more than just drinking wine. “There’s nothing better than sharing a good wine with good people; that’s part of the magic,” he says. “It creates moments. It freezes time. It’s preserved in amber in your memories.”

And Amos serves as the gatekeeper to the 2,600 labels—ranging in price from $25 to $52,000—at Emeril Lagasse’s Las Vegas steakhouse. He joined the restaurant in 2015 but started working for the celebrity chef’s empire back in 2012 in Charlotte, N.C. But before that, Amos got into the food and beverage industry more than two decades ago—starting as a dishwasher simply to pay bills while he was going to college to study film and English. “I ended up falling in love with the service industry,” he says. “I realized that even though I was going after heady academic pursuits, I really liked working on my feet and with my hands.”

Over the years, Amos climbed the ladder and moved into management at various restaurants in North Carolina, where he grew up, and in Portland, Ore., where he lived for a few years, eventually moving more toward a sommelier position. He came to Vegas after Emeril’s restaurant in Charlotte closed to take a floor manager position, but quickly began to handle wine for the restaurant.

“It happened lighting fast—at the speed of Vegas is how I always like to say it,” he says.

“I feel like I’ve accidentally ended up exactly where I belong. I didn’t get into this industry with a plan to be here in Vegas—I just wanted to pay bills and get through college; then it steamrolled. I didn’t even have wine till I was 29 years old. It’s just such a collection of things that happened. Now I’m here at Delmonico, this incredible restaurant in Las Vegas. People come here for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I want to give that to them.” –Kiko Miyasato

New venue mixes food, drink and frolic into one hot spot That’s so money, baby! No, it really is—Money, Baby! Las Vegas’ newest hot spot for all things sports and all things party, food, drink and fun at the new Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

Sportsbook? Lounge? Sports bar? Nightclub?

“We kind of want to be in our own arena, to be honest with you,” said general manager Grant Goldbaum. “We want to be that nice hybrid. Not

Money, Baby! stretches across 15,000 square feet and is filled with über-cool design touches incorporating awesome graphics, graffiti and artwork, all with a playful, fun spin. More than 200 TVs are set around the venue for optimal sports viewing, and guests can even place bets

at the in-venue sportsbook. “We can play up to 20 different games at once,” Goldbaum said.

There’s also a 5,000-square-foot patio that overlooks Virgin’s tropical pools. Guests can chill outdoors and play a friendly match of lawn games, and a DJ booth resides both outside and inside to keep the party going. Speaking of party—when the sports are over, Money, Baby! does

its thing and turns into a high-energy nightlife party and reveals some high-tech touches that light up the dance floor. For extra fun, the venue also has two golf-simulator rooms where you can play an 18-hole round of virtual golf.

Money, Baby! is also a must-visit spot for its food offerings, with Food Network star Beau MacMillan serving as the culinary director. The impressive menu is not your typical sports bar fare; instead, it’s packed with standouts like 18inch, all-beef hot dogs you can get in four different recipes, black truffle pizza, miso-glazed salmon, 16-ounce New York Strip, Beyond burger, Southern fried chicken sandwich and much, much more.

And let’s talk cocktails. There are three different bars, all with seating, so you can enjoy a menu with a dozen specialty cocktails. Like chai tea? Try the Aces High with Hendrick’s gin and a Japanese butterfly tea reduction.

Bourbon lover? The Apricot Smash is a twist on the classic whiskey smash, with a sweet apricot syrup and Old Forester bourbon, or get a sweet play on the Manhattan with the Pitt Boss— Bulleit bourbon mixed with a strawberry and carrot juice reduction and chocolate and walnut bitters. And for a cool play on the michelada, try the Mango Deck, rimmed with Tajín and made with Mango Cart beer and a frozen ice pop of michelada mix that melts when dipped into the beer. That’s pretty money, baby. –Kiko Miyasato Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, 702.693.5000

When restaurateur and chef Bobby Flay first began traveling through Italy, he might not have been intending to transform his Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace into an Italian restaurant.

The antipasti has plenty of seafood-inspired selections, including a shellfish fritto misto with pistachio pesto, charred octopus, tuna tartare and mussels in a tomato and white wine broth. The ricotta-stuffed squash blossoms are also popular, and in a delicious twist on the classic caprese, bufala mozzarella comes with charred lemon leaves and chopped tomato relish.

Choose from pasta like the squid ink fettucine, an eye-catching arrangement with lobster, squid, shrimp and a fra diavolo sauce. The paccheri, with rockfish and cherry tomatoes, presents a milder flavor, and the orecchiette is served with an inventive eggplant Bolognese.

The fish menu is special here, with guests heading to the fish display to consult with a fishmonger, and select their dinner entrées.

Recently, striped bass, red snapper, branzino, carabinero shrimp, among others, were available from the market. Choose from grilled whole or filleted, served one of three ways: with Meyer lemon and capers, with salsa verde or with red pepper and Calabrian chile pesto.

You can also choose Jidori chicken al forno, with a pecorino crust, or ribeye, New York Strip or filet mignon steaks, all Prime Angus beef. An amazing side is the crispy potatoes with Parmesan, lemon and oregano. There won’t be any of this left over. The unusual mascarpone polenta with red pepper and a black olive relish is one of those love-or-leave-it dishes. We think you’ll love it.

And the desserts are delightful, including Bobby’s pistachio sundae, a chocolate budino, blueberry panna cotta and tiramisu. But the Lemon, Lemon, Lemon cake definitely does take the cake. Tart lemon custard is layered over a light lemon cake and crispy lemon wafers, for a perfect finish to your evening.

Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar

Keepin’ It Casual

Bar food gets a real boost in Las Vegas Whether you’re at a sprawling sports bar with tons of TV screens inside a lavish casino or in a cozy neighborhood tavern populated by locals, Las Vegas knows how to elevate pub grub. Bar food deserves a culinary category of its own, especially when it’s executed at such a high level while maintaining casual accessibility.

There may not be a better-known bar brand in the Las Vegas Valley than the PT’s Pub chain, and the company’s flagship location is the 6,000-square-foot PT’s Wings & Sports (702.380.7777) at The STRAT on the northern end of the Strip. There doesn’t need to be a big

game on to enjoy this spacious, sleek update on the classic sports bar experience, thanks to a vast selection of craft beers to complement addictive eats like chili verde cheese fries, bacon-wrapped Buffalo-spiced shrimp, a Nashville-style spicy fried chicken sandwich, and every flavor of wings you can imagine.

Just up the street at Palace Station, Tailgate Social (702.221.6513) calls itself the city’s “most complete sports bar” because of its weekend game-day brunches, Tequila Tuesdays and other party-friendly programming. But stop by anytime to sample one of the most creative

bar food menus in town, featuring spicy ahi tuna and crispy rice alongside traditional appetizers like nachos and sliders, Maine lobster rolls, grilled mahi mahi tacos, a serious Philly cheesesteak and a jumbo chili cheese hot dog topped with crispy onions and barbecue aioli.

No celebrity chef is more closely connected to casual cuisine than Guy Fieri, an undeniable expert thanks to his cross-country travels for the Food Network favorite Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. At Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar (702.794.3139) at The Linq, he’s serving up some of those roadhouse faves along with his

own tried-and-true tavern classics, all with overthe-top flavors. The bacon mac ‘n’ cheeseburger is a must for any burger aficionado; the pulled pork sandwich with bourbon-brown sugar sauce and pickle chips is another signature sandwich.

Share some Trash Can Nachos with your crew and let the good times roll.

Two longtime local faves stay at the top of the list when it comes to best bar food in Vegas beyond the casinos. Crown & Anchor Pub (702.739.8676) is nothing short of an institution, the valley’s most authentic British pub, serving its full menu 24 hours a day, and one of the absolute best places to feast on fish and chips, Cornish pasties, Yorkshire pudding and bangers and mash. Don’t worry, American tavern classics are available too, including a standout steak sandwich and beer-battered onion rings.

With two energetic locations in the southeast and southwest, Born and Raised (702.685.0258) is a bar that lives and breathes the real Vegas and serves the people that keep

Kathleen Madigan is excited to return to Vegas stand-up

Stand-up comedy queen Kathleen Madigan has been performing regularly on the Las Vegas Strip for years now, and is beyond excited to return to her current Vegas headquarters, the Aces of Comedy series at The Mirage. While some comedians hit the road again as soon as possible after last year’s entertainment shutdown, Madigan held off until she was ready, staying busy by launching a comfy new podcast called Madigan’s Pubcast.

and a place in Nashville, on two different lakes, and the stuff I want to do outside, fishing, golf, hiking, it was all open anyway.

I went to a few places I’ve never had time to go, like Muscle Shoals to see those great recording studios. I did weird stuff that was safe and available. And I have a house I’m never in, so it was nice to live in it for a while. Every day was, “I wonder what’s in this closet? Oh, I put this here four years ago.”

How does it feel to be coming back to Las Vegas for the first time in a long time?

It’s so exciting, because I love everything about The Mirage. As much fun as it is to have the show, I really miss video poker. I haven’t been in a casino since (the pandemic) started. The Mirage is my favorite.

It is the perfect-size casino, and I do all the stuff, the gambling, I go to the pool, and it feels like the most manageable one. Some casinos are so damn big. I did a corporate gig once at Mandalay Bay and oh my god. It was a really nice room, but I had to ask, do you have anything less nice that’s a little closer to Earth?

The name of your tour is Do You Have Any Ranch. Can you explain that a bit?

My sister has a friend who has these two teenage girls, and they all came to Nashville to go out on the lake and do stuff, and I didn’t know them that well, but for three days, no matter what I said to them, all they would do is look at me and say, “Yeah, so do you have any ranch?” It was so dismissive of the fact that I’m speaking to you. But also, like I said to my sister, I don’t remember a time when my brain was so empty of thought and worry that all I could think of was salad dressing. Then I went to get them the ranch, and the following day it was, “Yeah, do you have any more ranch?”

Where did it go? You ate that whole thing?

So it became this thing. Now whenever my sister or I just can’t take any more, when you’re just over it, we just say, “Yeah, do you have any ranch?”

Traveling isn’t just a big part of your job, you actually enjoy it. Was it tough to be stuck in one place for a long period of time over the last year and a half?

I was fine with it. I have a place in Missouri

That was something you discussed on your podcast, Madigan’s Pubcast, which you started last year as well.

I told that story on the podcast and people started sending in ranch things. I mean, I’ll have some with chicken wings, but I don’t usually buy it. Did you know there are, like, 20 million kinds of ranch? This country has really lost its mind with ranch. There are only maybe five kinds of blue cheese dressing, comparatively.

But yeah, the podcast, I never would have done it any other time, but I thought this was a way to at least stay in touch with people. It’s been fun, and the YouTube comments we get do feel like communicating, even though it’s still online. It’s really just what happens when I go to my lake bar and see my idiot friends who are always there, and it’s just what we would talk about.

Do you think audiences have a greater appreciation for live comedy now that they had to go without for a while?

I don’t know, because I waited longer than the youngsters did (to perform again).

There’s a club in Nashville I’ve been (playing) since June, but there’s a lot of (comedians) who had been there for a long time so it was normal to them when it wasn’t to me. I’m just glad I can still make 25-year-olds laugh. I was worried about that, because performing was like, half of these jokes are about you. And I’m not sure they know that; maybe it’s not registering that I’m actually making fun of you.

Bottiglia Cucina & Enoteca

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Even though most of the resorts have just one or two Italian-themed restaurants, The Venetian and The Grand Canal Shoppes have many more.

Among them are Buddy V’s Ristorante (702.607.2355), with family-themed dishes from Cake Boss’ Buddy Valastro including Grandma’s Meatballs

and My Wife’s Eggplant Parm, and an L-shaped dining room with large windows looking over the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Spring Mountain. Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano (702.414.1222) in The Venetian’s restaurant row features hand-made pasta that is exceptional, while sister restaurant Brera Osteria

Rao’s

(702.414.1227) celebrates the idea of the apertivo and, with its St. Mark’s Square location, is a perfect place to stop for a spritz and a snack before indulging in hand-made pasta like gnocchi with arugula pesto or The Vince pizza with mozzarella, burrata, mortadella and orange zest. Across the square is Mercato della Pescheria (702.837.0309), serving up seafood with Italian flair.

At Caesars Palace, the New York look-alike Rao’s (702.731.7267) brings more than just the feel of that venerable New York restaurant to Vegas—one of its dining areas is actually a replica of the N.Y. version, with plush booths and memorabilia on the walls. Try the signature Uncle Vincent’s lemon chicken, beef lasagna or ravioli beggar purses filled with Bartlett pears and ricotta.

Stripside at Park MGM, the Eataly Las Vegas marketplace (702.730.7617) is a bustling spot with multiple counters representing casual Italian cafés, pizza places, gelato spots and wine bars. And the atrium environment is striking.

Off the Strip, Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar (4480 Paradise Road, 702.364.5300) is still pretty

close, and is super intimate, with an attractive bar and a fabulous wine selection, natch. The restaurant has been around for 30 years and features vegan options in addition to its traditional menu.

Monthly wine tastings here sell out in a snap.

Head to the northwest, and Red Rock Resort hosts Marc Vetri’s Osteria Fiorella (702.797.7777). The range of inventive pastas and flavorful pizza may cause serious soul-searching when trying to decide. Sunday brunch here is a sought-after spot.

At the other end of the valley, Bottiglia Cucina & Enoteca (702.617.7075) at Green Valley Ranch is a casual place perfect

for a leisurely dinner, but weekends add a little more. A DJ plays on Social Saturdays, and brunch is served on Sunday.

Tarantino’s Vegan (7960 S. Rainbow Blvd. Suite 8000G, 725.777.3888) serves up many Italian dishes in an intimate neighborhood setting. You can get all the classics, from antipasta platter with meats, cheeses and grilled veggies to eggplant, Chick’n Parm, meatball calzone and beef lasagna— and it’s all plant-based. In the Summerlin community, Siena Italian Authentic Trattoria and Deli (9500 W. Sahara Ave., 702.360.3358) invites you to dine on the classics, too, or order from the deli or bakery for takeout.

From retail to nightlife, Linq Promenade features dynamic mix From its initial debut on the Strip more than six years ago, the Linq Promenade has promised to become a different kind of versatile entertainment experience in Las Vegas. Now that it has evolved and made good on that promise several times over, the pedestrian thoroughfare between the Flamingo and Linq casino resorts has been acknowledged as one of the most energetic attractions anywhere in the city.

The fun starts with two signature experiences: the iconic High Roller observation wheel (702.777.2782), offering half-hour rides 550 feet in the air and unparalleled views of the Vegas valley; and the adrenaline rush of the FLY LINQ Zipline (702.777.2782), launching riders from a 12-story tower soaring a distance of 1,121 feet to the east end of the promenade.

These dual only-in-Vegas activities are among the most exciting ways to spend a day on the Strip, not to mention excellent methods for getting to know the offerings of the promenade itself.

After you’ve worked up an appetite, discover a full spectrum of dining experiences lying in wait. For fast, casual and absolutely delicious eats, sample the crispy fried delights at Gordon Ramsay

Icebar

Fish & Chips (702.322.0529)—and don’t forget the curry mango dipping sauce—or all-American masterpieces with toppings like smoked bacon, mac and cheese and grilled mushrooms at Haute Doggery (702.430.4435). Sit down and share a pizza pie on the patio or just grab a quick slice from the window at Flour & Barley (702.430.4430), or satisfy your California drive-thru cravings at the legendary In-NOut Burger (800.786.1000).

Keep the party going at one of several Linq Promenade bars offering outdoor service perfect for sipping while you stroll, including the colorful Breeze Daiquiri Bar (702.818.3007) or the alfresco addition

to O’Sheas Casino (702.835.5723) inside the Linq Hotel, the Blarney Bar, where you can experience the frozen Irish Margarita.

One thing you may not expect: The promenade has become quite the go-to for sports viewing, so whether you’re into football, basketball or hockey these days, you can take your pick from the Tilted Kilt (702.826.2100), the lively beer bar AmeriCan (702.331.5600), familiar crowd pleaser Yard House (702.597.0434), or some of the other unique restaurants that offer patio seating in addition to plenty of sports-suitable screens. Those include Chayo Mexican Kitchen (702.691.3773), the down-home and hearty Virgil’s Real Barbecue (702.389.7400) and the local product Off the Strip (702.331.6800).

Rounding out the Linq’s diverse selection are one of the newest locations of the super-cool Icebar (702.586.8925), where glasses, walls, seats and sculptures are all carved out of ice; the new Razer store (725.214.7222), where one of the leading brands for gamers offers hardware, software and other services; and plenty of sweet stops like the 14,000-square-foot candy shop I Love Sugar (702.330.9124) and the shortbread specialists at the Honolulu Cookie Company (702.489.6111).

It’s not easy to provide something for everyone, but the Linq Promenade has offered lots of fun for Vegas visitors from day one and it’s only amped up over time.

FEW CITIES DO LOBSTER JUSTICE LIKE LAS VEGAS

By KEN MILLER

If you’re visiting Las Vegas, odds are you plan on having lobster at least once. After all, this city has perfected many of the niche food groups that most Americans love (shrimp cocktail perhaps being the most famous), and lobster is right near the top of the list. The only unanswered question for most of you is: Where are you going to have it, and in what form?

Therein lies the real challenge, for Las Vegas offers lobster in so many forms it’s nearly impossible to know where to start.

Luckily, we here at Las Vegas Magazine have eaten all over the city and have had every conceivable version of this tasty crustacean. So allow us to take you through some of our personal highlights.

Let’s start with the absolute classic, one you’ve no doubt had regardless of where you come from: Surf and turf. (Are there three more mouth-watering words when visiting a classic steakhouse?) No more of that frustrating choice of steak or lobster.

This is the best of both worlds! One of the city’s newest restaurants features a fantastic version—Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa Resort & Casino. This eatery is already one of downtown’s hottest spots, and this dish is no doubt a big part of that, featuring a sautéed 8-ounce filet mignon (medium-rare, please!) and a Maine lobster tail served with roasted garlic aioli and red wine sauce.

Next up is the single lobster tail, so appetizing with the meat popping out of the shell, ready to dip into melted butter.

Again, you can find this one almost everywhere, but we’d recommend making it part of a meal at Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse, another relatively new restaurant at Flamingo. This restaurant is as notable for its food as for its décor, courtesy of world-renowned designer Jonathan Adler.

This tribute to the mobsters of old is as about a quintessential Vegas experience as you’re liable to find on the Las Vegas Strip. Another essential example of this staple is the one at Vic & Anthony’s

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE 8.1.21

Lobster tail at Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse

Steakhouse at the Golden Nugget, a wonderful accompaniment to one of the property’s world-class steaks.

Elsewhere on the Strip, you’ll find all sorts of wonderful variations on the lobster tail. One of our personal favorites is the 2 1/2-pound Cantonese lobsters at Catch at Aria. This is a serious dish with serious flavor, the lobster divided up into succulent bites and served with sake, oyster sauce, scallions and garlic. So amazing! And Harvest by Roy Ellamar at Bellagio, a restaurant that stresses sustainably produced proteins, serves up a stone-oven-roasted Maine lobster with citrus and seaweed butter. Like everything else at Harvest, it’s unforgettable.

Then, of course, there’s the lobster roll, a favorite of New Englanders, and no place does this popular favorite better than Lobster ME, which has two outposts in Las Vegas—at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort and at The

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Lobster mac and cheese at VooDoo Steakhouse

Lobster bisque at Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak

Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo. Everything is served deli counter-style, and there are also some other lobster-based delights you’ll want to sample while you’re here: Lobster crab fries, lobster grilled cheese, and a “lobsicle”—a 4-ounce Maine lobster tail on a stick! For a true Vegas moment (especially if money is no object), we highly recommend the “One Pounder,” which is exactly what it sounds like: a full pound of Maine lobster meat. Sure, you’ll probably say that sounds like a lot, but let’s be honest: You’ll eat every bite and love it!

And what’s a story about lobster without mentioning the seafood tower? It seems almost inconceivable to experience Las Vegas without indulging in at least one. There are so many great versions of this up and down the Las Vegas Strip.

We’ve already mentioned Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse, but that version definitely bears mentioning. It’s a terrifically displayed collection of seafood delights, with lobster (appropriately) towering over the rest. Another version that will satiate everyone at the table is the monster version served at Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian, piled high with not only lobster

tails but oysters, red king crab legs and poached shrimp. This might just end up being your entire meal.

Now we start getting into some of the more off-the-beaten-path lobster options out there. For instance, if you’re a big brunch fan (and if you’re visiting Las

42

8.1.21

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Vegas, we would certainly hope so!), head to Green Valley Ranch Resort in Henderson and Bottiglia Cucina & Enoteca, where as part of your overall experience, you can order the lobster Benedict—butter-poached lobster, Parmesan creamed spinach and spiced hollandaise sauce.

Another option we see popping up on more and more menus is lobster mac and cheese. Needless to say, this is one menu item we always order when we see it, for every restaurant tackles this item differently. We’ve yet to have one we weren’t crazy about. We’d start with the version at VooDoo Steakhouse at Rio, as much for the side dish itself as for the ridiculously cool views from 50 floors up.

How about salads? There’s a splendid lobster salad at the newly opened Estiatorio Milos at The Venetian. This Greek restaurant celebrates the sea’s bounty, and this is one of the restaurant’s most popular offerings.

And what’s a salad without a soup?

Again, there are plenty of lobster bisques to sample up and down the Strip, but we’re seriously partial to the one created by Top Chef Tom Colicchio at his Craftsteak restaurant at MGM Grand. Flavored with tarragon, it’s so creamy and decadent.

Finally, taco fans can rejoice that Nobu at Caesars Palace has a seriously ampedup version. Now go get your lobster on!

FEATURED PROPERTY

You Can Have It All

Summerlin home has upgrades, views and space to spare For magnificent homes with magnificent views of the Las Vegas Valley, it’s hard to beat the master-planned community of The Ridges in Summerlin, an exclusive, guard-gated community in close proximity to Red Rock Canyon and the vistas it offers. And a home has recently become available at Azure at The Ridges.

This two-story, 7,813-square-foot estate at 14 Drifting Shadow Way, listed by Madison Blau Benshimon of the Ivan Sher Group of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties, has more than enough space for any family, not to mention some amazing amenities. It’s 7,813 square feet, over which you’ll find six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a three-car garage.

The first thing you’ll notice at this stunning property are all the upgrades—it’s safe to say this home has been completely reimagined from its original build, from European oak flooring throughout, a custom white kitchen with quartzite countertops and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a central wet bar, Restoration Hardware light fixtures, and so much more.

The home’s open concept floor plan maximizes all spaces with high ceilings. This is a great space for hosting company. For a real wow factor, automated, disappearing glass doors blur the boundary between inside and outside.

There’s also a library and den, both of which can be used any way you want.

The bedrooms are all showcases, highlighted by the master suite. It features a spa-like master bath with an oversized shower and soaking tub sitting in a bed of beach pebbles. The other rooms are all en-suite.

The backyard is where you’ll be wanting to spend a lot of time, particularly during summer.

It features a pool, spa, putting green, and outdoor pavilion that houses a full outdoor kitchen.

And, in a nod to the new economy, the seller is accepting cryptocurrency as payment—in the current market, the price equates to roughly 169 bitcoin (subject to change). –Ken Miller 14 Drifting Shadow Way, $5,449,000, 702.862.0154, License No. BS.0145133

Works of Art It’s long been said that the kitchen is the heart of the home.

Open-concept kitchens have become the norm as a home’s cooking space has been integrated as an extension of the living room. Let’s face it: for some buyers, a line of sight from the kitchen to the TV is key. It certainly does make it easier to play along on Chopped. Colleen McCullough of Toll Brothers notes, “The kitchen became almost outfitted with furniture like works of art. It’s so beautiful how it’s all integrated into making that gathering space so special.” –AD EXPERT LOOK

Frank Napoli

Eat Out More Often Kitchens aren’t just for the inside of the home any longer. The creation of full outdoor kitchens is on the rise with everything from fire pits for s’mores to custom pizza ovens to elaborate barbecue setups. Realtor Tamara Heidel notes, “The outdoor living area having a fire pit and an outdoor kitchen facility—those are all key.

People are really looking at yards and trying to figure out how they’re going to install those.” –AD

Las Vegas Realtor Frank Napoli recently celebrated his 21th year as a licensed real estate agent. His father started their real estate company in 1991, so he’s literally been around the office since he was in high school.

Napoli encourages prospective buyers to “make sure they have a proper education on the market in which they’re looking to purchase. Finding someone you can trust is most important.”

As an owner of a Las Vegas high-rise unit himself, Napoli can say with authority, “I’m extremely familiar with the high-rise product in Las Vegas. Having the building amenities was something I found very important. Having a gym, concierge, valet, all those comforts in the building that I didn’t experience in my single-family home, I found to be really valuable.” Napoli noted that high-rise life is great for investors and “for people looking for a second home in Las Vegas, it’s so convenient. It’s just lock up and leave! You don’t have to worry about your pool or security. A lot of my clients who are moving from out of state prefer high-rises.

“As Las Vegas becomes more and more of a family-oriented city, with sports and diversified entertainment, I think a lot of investors are looking to Las Vegas and, in turn, realizing it’s a great place for them to live as well,” he added. –Allison Duck

Decadent and Delicious While many of us let ourselves go to pot over the pandemic, some came out refreshed and revitalized—sort of like Bacchanal Buffet (Caesars Palace, 702.731.7928). It recently reopened with a beautiful makeover of the carving station and American and Latin sections and introduced 100 new dishes!

Grilled elote is custom-coated, including classic, with Hot Cheetos and with Takis; street tacos are nearby, or maybe you’d prefer duck carnitas. Charcuterie and a cheese board dominate the Mediterranean section, hummus, baba ganoush and pita will also catch your eye. The Asian section features

Laotian, Indonesian, Filipino, Thai and Vietnamese dishes, plus sushi. Those roving dim sum carts bring around Chinese specialties.

And the desserts! They’re pure decadence, from gelato and salted caramel cupcakes to a “sunny side-up egg” made of lightly whipped yogurt and a mango sphere. –Nina King
