Food for Thought

Think back on your last really good meal at a restaurant. What was it that made it so memorable? The food? The service? The company? The space itself? Or was it just getting out of the house for a bit and indulging yourself? Whatever it is that defi nes a great meal for you, you’ll fi nd plenty of options on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s no exaggeration to say that our tourist corridor has perfected the art of the meal. And that’s what this issue is dedicated to.

One of the best parts of a great meal is dessert, especially one created in-house that makes the whole table sit up and go, “Whoa!” In this issue, managing editor Nina King interviews Jessica Scott, the corporate executive pastry chef for Miami-based 50 Eggs Hospitality Group, who prepares some of the amazing creations for various venues at The Venetian (“How Sweet It Is,” p. 36 ).

Who doesn’t love Italian food? And who doesn’t love Bobby Flay? If you check both boxes, defi nitely head to Amalfi by Bobby Flay at Caesars Palace (“Regional Accents,” p 18). For some more Italian fun, check out Eataly Las Vegas at Park MGM (“That’s Italian,” p. 34), where you could easily spend a day checking out all the dining, shopping and more.

Sushi fans will defi nitely want to check out Kusa Nori at Resorts World Las Vegas (“Table Talk,” p. 28), a fun, welcoming space that’s perfect for large groups.

But dining is only the beginning of the fun that awaits you in Vegas this week. World-class entertainer Donny Osmond returns to his smash residency at Harrah’s this week (“The One & Only,” p. 32), while Styx returns to The Venetian (“Mythical Journey,” p. 17 ).

Whatever defi nes a great Vegas experience for you, we hope we help you fi nd it this week.

Q&A: Chris Elliman

Art competition winner

finds inspiration

in society

In October of last year, local artist Chris Elliman won Park West Fine Art Museum and Gallery’s Made In Vegas competition, vying against hundreds of other creators. That led to his current special three-month exhibition at The Forum Shops gallery, which kicked off on Jan. 7. Fans can catch Elliman Jan. 28 from 4-7 p.m. for a live painting, a meet-and-greet and a Q&A session. Elliman gave Las Vegas Magazine’s Nina King a look into his process.

What led you to become an artist?

I was never very good at math! I had to pivot to something I was better at and truly passionate about.

Your works seem quite complex. Is it all themed?

Every piece is a journey with intention. The story reveals itself exponentially fast, and the viewer should delve further into the piece to understand the book is not the cover.

Where do you come up with the ideas for your works?

My ideas evolve from studying society. It’s very cool to just sit back and love people from a distance and absolutely love them up close. The culmination of observational wonderment evolves to what I call “visual DJing.” The results are on the canvas.

How long does it take to research each painting, what is the process of creating them, and how long until it is complete?

I consider my work science. It takes a lot of time to cave paint the universe, as it tunnels and builds its way into my heart. Every breath that goes down, I’m excited to know it’s a painting and also a story. I can usually nail it down on canvas in about six weeks.

How did you choose what to enter in the Made in Vegas competition?

The Made in Vegas competition choices started with what makes people happy. Then it’s about life and, tertiarily, it’s about what we are going to do with the culmination of the celebration of our happy stuff. And that’s why I like to win. I love people and art the same.

Worlds Come Alive

Illuminarium was too big to fit inside AREA15’s main building. The latest immersive venue to open at the experiential campus just west of the Strip needed 36,000 square feet for its next-level, cinematographically interactive destination, necessitating a building of its own just beyond AREA15’s LIFTOFF attraction.

Illuminarium’s colorful exterior contrasts strikingly with its surroundings. Inside, a menu of programs is offered in the lobby. Once a program is chosen, a warmup room, divided by two rows of plush white chairs that would not look out of place in a Stanley Kubrick film, provides a preview of what is to come.

In Space: A Journey to the Moon and Beyond, step inside a gigantic room where 360-degree cinematic technology takes you on a journey through the solar system. Sound and sight immersion will drop you on the face of the moon and fly you through stars and dust and debris and right inside the beauty of the cosmos.

For those that like land adventures, there’s also Wild: A Safari Experience, an environment where you truly get a surroundsound sensation, including a floor that rumbles with thunder. “Aweinspiring” doesn’t do justice to the

360-degree scenes and sounds of savannahs and rainforests, where gorillas emerge from the mists of every sightline.

All that exploration can work up an appetite, effectively assuaged at companion culinary experience Lumin Café & Kitchen. The restaurant’s warm, inviting atmosphere was designed by the Rockwell Group, and the menu by cuisine visionaries Elizabeth Blau and chef Kim Canteenwalla. It’s the height of casual dining with an outdoor patio and touches of class such as exquisitely prepared burgers, Parmesan and truffle fries, and mac and cheese with Ritz cracker crust. And don’t miss the new adult milkshakes made with different spirits in flavors like PB&J, Nuts and Berries, Cookie Dough and Berry, Berry Good.

The possibilities of hosting viewing parties for major sports events in Illuminarium’s space are apparent, and the options for adults-only Illuminarium After Dark: Nightlife Reimagined are inviting. It’s virtual reality without eyewear or vertiginous reactions, and its time has come. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Mythical Journey

Few popular rock groups melded all the styles of their time quite so seamlessly as Styx , which shot to fame in the 1970s on the strength of classics (and oldies radio staples) like “Come Sail Away,” “The Best of Times,” “Too Much Time on My Hands” and “Babe.” They’ve regularly toured for decades, and the proof of their popularity shows in the numerous limited engagements they’ve played on the Las Vegas Strip over the years.

The band has gone through many lineup changes, but the current lineup

of Chuck Panozzo (bass), James “J.Y.” Young (guitars), Tommy Shaw (vocals), Todd Sucherman (drums), Lawrence Gowan (keyboards), Ricky Phillips (bass) and Will Evankovich (guitar) keeps the original lineup’s spirit fully intact in live performances. Over the last few years, they’ve toured with everyone from Yes and Don Felder to REO Speedwagon and Foreigner, and in 2022 they were inducted into the Illinois Rock & Roll Museum Hall of Fame. Their enduring popularity derives from those goosebumps you feel when

you hear the opening notes of “Lady.” (C’mon, admit it—we certainly do.)

Expect to hear all the massive hits, as well as fan favorites like “Renegade,” “Blue Collar Man (Long Nights),” “Mr. Roboto,” “Why Me,” “Borrowed Time,” “Boat On the River’ and so many more. And yes, you are fully encouraged to sing out every single word at the top of your lungs. –Ken Miller

Regional Accents

Mediterranean flavors blend seamlessly with relaxing décor and an attentive, friendly waitstaff at Amalfi by Bobby Flay, the celebrity chef’s newest Vegas enterprise—and one of the most singular dining experiences on the Strip.

Amalfi is not for the budget-conscious, but you won’t be regretting the extra expense when you sit down to a mezcal Negroni while taking in the light woods and circular blue-tile displays with the catch of the day, a bar curving away from the entrance soaring ceilings and an open kitchen with large racks of wine above that. While enjoying your mezcal Negroni or espresso martini, take a walk up to the fish displays, where you can pick out the exact fish you want. And the fishmongers will fill you in if you have any questions (like we did). It adds a very cool element.

While waiting for your selection to arrive (and choosing your flavoring, ranging from Meyer lemon and capers to red peppers, Calabrian chili pesto or salsa verde), munch on fun antipasti like shellfish fritto misto with pistachio pesto, eggplant al forno

with mascarpone and roasted garlic crema, or tuna tartare with crispy rice. There are also wonderful salads awaiting you, including the Amalfi chopped with lemon vinaigrette and a baby gem Caesar made with black kale, Treviso and garlic croutons.

If you’d rather pass on the fresh fish option, no worries whatsoever—Amalfi has a large menu of alternatives, starting with pasta dishes that range from squid ink fettucine (topped with lobster, shrimp and squid, pictured), to porcini agnolotti (drizzled in a hazelnut-chive sauce and balsamic). There’s also a terrific chicken Parmigiano with bufala mozzarella and arugula olive oil, as well as a series of steak options, including a 24-ounce bone-in ribeye. Whatever you choose, make sure to pair it with sides like roasted acorn squash nocciola, served with toasted hazelnuts and a brown butter dressing, or cremini mushroom polenta, made with mascarpone and Parmigiano white truffle oil. –Ken Miller

Sea It All

Mandalay Bay attraction introduces you to denizens from the ocean’s depths

Odds are your kids have finally seen the movie Jaws (it’s streaming everywhere these days), and odds are they might be a bit … obsessed with sharks as a result. If so, you gotta take them to Shark Reef Aquarium, one of the most unique destinations in the world.

This manmade wonder does feature sharks (and a huge variety of them to boot), but it’s also got more than 2,000 other creatures, all of them in no way indigenous to the Mojave Desert. Get introduced to Komodo dragons, Johnston’s crocodiles and piranhas behind see-through partitions. You quickly realize it’s possible to lose hours here—watching some of these creatures, from Burmese pythons to South American species like pacu, arapaima, razorback catfish and motoro stingrays, can be absolutely hypnotic.

The sharks swim around a simulated shipwreck, visible through a large viewing area (a tunnel allows you to see fish swim all around you). You may not know exactly what type of shark you’re looking at, and that’s understandable; the varieties here include blacktip, grey reef, Galapagos, Port Jackson, sand tiger, sandbar, whitetip reef, bonnet head, nurse … we suggest taking lots of pictures here. Maybe there’s a shark expert back home who can help you figure it all out.

Perhaps the best thing about Shark Reef is that it makes you want to know more about the world you live in, that life is everywhere, and that our perspective is severely limited. –Ken Miller

New Year, New Cocktails

Get in the Chinese New Year spirit with libations at The Venetian

Kicking off a year of hope—the Year of the Rabbit—the Lunar New Year has begun. In celebration of this zodiac animal, which symbolizes a year of longevity, peace and prosperity, The Venetian in Las Vegas introduces a trio of new cocktails at its three swanky lounges: The Dorsey, Electra Cocktail Club and Rosina Cocktail Lounge

Fans of Remy Martin V.S.O.P cognac will be thrilled to discover that all three new cocktails feature the rich, vibrant spirit.

Enjoy this trifecta by starting off with the Lunar Lander at The Dors-

ey, a riff off a classic Old-Fashioned and made with Bénédictine liqueur and a dash of Angostura bitters.

At Electra Cocktail Club, try something sweet with the fruit-forward Lucky Red Rabbit, made with simple syrup, fresh lemon juice and muddled strawberries.

Make the last stop at Rosina Cocktail Lounge for the Spicy Longevity, a riff on a classic cocktail, the Moscow Mule. This one brings some bite to the palate with allspice dram, lime juice and fresh ginger.

The cocktails are available through Feb. 5. If you visit the

lounges on Jan. 23, be sure to catch the Lion Dance Celebration at 3 p.m. in the porte cochere, where an eye-painting ceremony will be followed by a parade of dancers and drummers winding its way through the lobby and casino, and then heading toward the casino, waterfall atrium and lobby. Get ready for a Chinese New Year to remember. Cheers! –Kiko Miyasato

Not-So-Secret Fun

Speakeasy offers cocktails and weekend revelry

Head up the escalators from Mandalay Bay’s casino floor to The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, take a few steps forward and look for the giant bookcase to your right—this is where you’ll find the swanky modern speakeasy, 1923 Prohibition Bar. Once you step through the bookcase, you enter a world of low lighting, posh, period-piece furnishings and stylish décor that transports you to a different time and place.

If the word “speakeasy” makes you immediately think “cocktails,” then you’ve come to the right place. A throwback to Prohibition-era cocktails is de rigueur at 1923, but the mixolo-

gists here put some of their own spins on the classics, like the butter pecan Old-Fashioned, mango Mai Tai, Tommy Gun basil fizz and pineapple chipotle mule. We also love the true classics here like the Hemingway daiquiri and, one of our fave cocktails here, the brandy milk punch with brandy, half and half, sugar and vanilla extract.

Guests can delight in 1923’s brown spirits offerings, too, with impressive bourbon and rye choices including Whistle Pig, Angel’s Envy, Basil Hayden and picks from the vault like Horse Solider, Pappy Van Winkle and Blanton’s. Can’t decide? Order a flight.

On Friday and Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to midnight, the bar and lounge throws its complimentary NOLA Nights party, celebrating the snazzy, jazzy style of New Orleans with live musical performances and a cast of sexy burlesque dancers. If guests really want to splurge during NOLA Nights, they can book a VIP table for four for $300 ($450 for six guests) and enjoy plush seating, a digital group photo, a shoutout from the musical performer and two cocktails per person. –Kiko Miyasato

Friends With Benefits

Julia Nina Edano

When Julia Nina Edano says she has the coolest job, she means it—literally and figuratively. “It’s so fun, it doesn’t even feel like you’re working,” says the bar manager for Minus5 Ice Bar at The Linq Promenade. “This is a bar that is completely made of ice, everything except the floor and ceiling are ice.”

One of the biggest questions about Edano is how she works inside a bar made completely of ice. Doesn’t she get cold? “I wear snow pants, snow boots, earmuffs, hat, gloves,” Edano says. “If it’s busy, like on the weekends,

I’m in there all day but I don’t even feel the cold because I’m so busy moving around.”

Want to test your endurance? Stop by Minus5 (if you want to meet Edano, she’s always working on the weekends) and get suited up in a parka or faux-fur coat and gloves, then step inside the freezing temps of this cool bar and lounge. You’ll literally be chillin’ on a slab of ice made into lounge chairs. You can also hang at the bar top made of ice or check out the various ice-carved scenery (great for photo-ops).

Arctic Sunset

Yes , even the glass that your cocktail is served in is made completely of ice! It really is awesome—your drink gets colder and colder as you sip on it, and it never gets watered down. Try one of the most popular menu picks at Minus5, the Arctic Sunset. This specialty cocktail is made with Bacardi Dragonberry rum, pineapple juice, grenadine and Sprite. –KM

Minus5 Ice Bar is Edano’s first job on the Strip and in the bar industry as a whole. The Philippines native, who grew up in Hawaii and Las Vegas, joined the company in 2020 after deciding not to pursue a career in the medical field. “I am so happy being in this industry,” she says. “I love meeting people from all around the world. I love telling people to come check us out, because we really are such a unique experience. There’s no other bar like this. It’s something you should try once—definitely a bucket-list place.” –Kiko

Kusa

creates a multipronged approach to Japanese cuisine

By Nina King

No matter what type of Japanese restaurant experience you gravitate toward—sushi or robata—you’ll find something to satisfy you at Kusa Nori. It somehow tastes even better when you have a group sitting down to enjoy it together.

A dynamic environment filled with artistic representations of various creatures, wood tables, and a redand-black color scheme will give your eyes something to dance over while

you’re waiting for your meal. Kusa Nori happens to offer a happy hour in the bar each day from 4-5:30 p.m., and on Wasabi Wednesdays that extends through closing time. It’s a great way to sample some of the restaurant’s offerings in a smaller format (which works out perfectly when you return for dinner, since you’ll be able to develop a few favorites).

Try the Shigoku oysters, blue fin tuna tartare or the 3000 LVBLVD

Nori

Robata

like the Battle Born, with seared yakitoro, kyuri, negi and toro tartare; and the Silver State, with king crab, avocado and cucumber.

roll. That specialty roll is actually one of the showpieces for the restaurant, with yuzu Kewpie snow crab, togarashi tataki salmon, asparagus and yuzu tobiko. Plus, the cocktails are a mix of classic and craft drinks, like the hibiscus paloma.

If you’re in for the full dinner, the choices are wide. An unusual starter is the shukaku bitsu kakai salad, which twists the usual beet salad by compressing the vegetable and serving it with shaved Brussels sprouts, alfalfa and soy sprouts, and mizuna. Jidori

chicken karaage, wagyu gyoza and vegetable tempura are perfect dishes to share with the table, too.

You’ll find lots of choice on the sashimi menu, from hamachi to shrimp and tamago. The Kusa sushi and sashimi moriawases give you an element of surprise as the chef will compose a section of 10 bites. Specialty rolls include the aforementioned 3000 LVBLVD, as well as a couple of others exclusive to Vegas,

AS A TEENAGER , Donny Osmond had the surreal experience of playing Yahtzee against his younger brother Jimmy in Elvis Presley’s suite at the Hilton. Presley famously headlined the Hilton, now Westgate Las Vegas, and the youthful pop star was welcome at the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s court. Osmond is the headliner now, paying tribute to Presley as well as Vegas itself at his red-hot self-titled residency at Harrah’s Las Vegas.

Harrah’s Las Vegas, coincidentally, is illuminated in purple by the time

of Osmond’s 8 p.m. shows. Fans that grew up on his music know the royal pigment was his professed favorite color in the ’70s as he went from pop singer to pin-up idol to superstar to superhero. That’s right, in a recurring series of skits on ABC variety series Donny & Marie, Osmond fought for justice as Captain Purple.

Whether he still sports purple socks is a revelation only known to those who have experienced his solo residency, which began the same month as the release of his latest

album, Start Again, in September 2021. New songs such as snappy, optimistic R&B smoothie “Don’t Stop” and “On & On” were woven into sets that related Osmond’s autobiography through his music.

Audience members were invited to make requests from various points in Osmond’s recording history.

Practically born to sing, he joined his brothers’ barbershop quartet after they were discovered at Disneyland and became regular performers on The Andy Williams Show in the ’60s.

Entertainment royalty Donny Osmond returns to his electrifying Harrah’s residency

The Osmonds scored their first hit with “One Bad Apple” in 1971 and Donny quickly became a focal point for the teen idol industry.

Osmond branched off as a solo artist with “Go Away Little Girl” and a cover of Paul Anka’s “Puppy Love.” Teaming with Marie in 1976 for a television show resulted in huge ratings, making Donny & Marie must-see television on Friday nights. He sang medleys of rock hits in his matured voice, harmonized with his brothers and demonstrated his keyboard chops.

Culture in the ’80s reacted against everything in the ’60s and ’70s, and Osmond struggled. His work ethic and family were his salvations, though, and he returned to the charts in 1989 with “Soldier of Love.” He achieved success onstage in the lead of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and in 2006 won over Broadway critics as Gaston in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

The confidence that Osmond cultivated from musicals showed when he took the stage with Marie for the first time at the Flamingo in 2008. A six-week engagement stretched into 11 years. The siblings literally became the faces of Vegas entertainment when portraits were rendered many stories high on the Flamingo’s Strip-side exterior.

Osmond’s current electrifying residency is a collaborative effort of A-listers such as director Raj Kapoor and choreographers Nappytabs. The combination of dazzling dancers and live musicians with the ambitions of quite possibly the most seasoned entertainer on the Strip make Captain Purple a worthy successor to The King.

It began with a sketch of an idea on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and quickly expanded into an Italian cuisine empire with its latest (and perhaps greatest) outpost so far: Eataly Las Vegas. Two restaurants, three bars designed with dining in mind, a marketplace, a dozen counters offering delicacies to go and wine, and an 11-seat Chef’s Table reserved for epicurean education are laid out, mercato-style, within the Stripside entrance of Park MGM.

Eataly Las Vegas is practically a daily, year-round celebration of flavorful fare representing every major region of Italy. “The journey here is all about Italian cuisine,” says Eataly general manager Luca Esposito. “We cover Italian cuisine from north to south, so if you get to experiment with our menus, you have everything from each region.”

One Eataly restaurant takes its name from one of the central regions. The handsome, 94-seat layout of Toscana Ristorante & Bar by Eataly provides the relaxing atmosphere of a family-style restaurant. The Toscana journey begins proper with savory, homemade, fried Tuscan gnocco fritto served with an antipasto (go for the prosciutto e mozzarella) and eventually concludes with homemade fior di latte gelato shaved tableside.

Pasta dishes and entrées are the stops in between, and there is no wrong selection—except for not choosing to order wine pairings for each course. Sommeliers such as Dylan Henderson relate encyclopedic knowledge of varietals as well as the design intent of the glasses they’re poured into. Chefs perfectly char the edges of rare cuts of steak that

Park MGM 702.730.7010

Toscana’s golden flatware slices into as easily as if they were the kitchen’s house-made mozzarella.

If anything comes with truffles, order it. It’s black truffle season through February, which is not overlooked at Eataly. If appetites are focused on pizza or pasta, Eataly provides a no-brainer option in La Pizza e La Pasta. Guests can see pasta (imported from the town of Gragnano in Naples) prepared and dough expertly tossed before being baked to Neapolitan pizza perfection in word-burning ovens.

Cucina del Mercato re-creates the Italian marketplace atmosphere much in the way founder Oscar Farinetti envisioned it as part of the

Eataly concept in November 2002. The counter-to-table approach provides access to an array of delectables prepared in the open by butchers, bakers, chefs and pasta makers. Cold cuts, cheese, bread, house-made fresh pasta and desserts can be enjoyed on site or wrapped and taken to rooms.

It’s very cool that slices of Roman-style pizza are available just steps from the Strip inside Park MGM. Eataly’s wares can be tasted on the fly, but an entire Vegas stay can be built around the Chef’s Table. Up to 11 people can make a reservation and receive first-hand instruction from a master chef on pasta preparation or seasonal cuisine.

Some people are artists and some people are chefs, but 50 Eggs Hospitality Group’s corporate executive pastry chef Jessica Scott marries both worlds. Scott, who joined 50 Eggs in 2020, has her pastry designs showcased inside Las Vegas’ Chica, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar, Spritz and Capri, all at The Venetian, as well as in 50 Eggs restaurants across the country. And those desserts range from simple creations to the showstoppers you’ll find at restaurants like Chica.

50 Eggs’ pastry chef Jessica Scott creates wondrous edible delights

The energetic chef has won multiple contests during her career, and recently won the 2022 Culinary Excellence Awards Pastry Chef of the Year title from the Nevada Restaurant Association. “This award holds so much meaning for me as not

only a pastry chef, but also as a Las Vegas resident,” Scott says. “I am so proud to live in this city and have been so welcomed into the community. Receiving an honor such as this reinvigorates my determination to be the best pastry chef I can be.”

The journey to Las Vegas has been filled with many experiences, with posts in Denver and San Diego (where she was raised), James Beard dinners and social media wins for her creations. Scott first lived in Miami when she began her journey with

Miami-based 50 Eggs, but headed to Vegas shortly after that.

“50 Eggs was intriguing because they not only had multiple locations and brands all over the country, but their determination to grow and continue to diversify their brands convinced me that it could be a company where I could accomplish things I only dreamt of,” Scott says. “Now, especially being in Las Vegas, there is no end to the possibilities of what we can achieve.”

It’s easy to understand the success she’s had when the desserts come out after dinner. The visually intense creations encapsulate Scott’s design philosophy as she finds inspiration in multiple ways.

“People and experiences inspire me. I love learning about di erent cultures in the way that families celebrate together with food, and celebrations around the world,” she says. “When creating something new, I treat each dish as a problem that needs to be fixed and break down the wants and needs of the concept to find ways to incorporate the flavors or ideals that are missing from a menu.”

But it’s not always a quick process, and the time required to create her wild desserts can vary widely, sometimes happening in a week, sometimes taking months to figure out. “I always want to make sure

each creation is something I’ve never done or seen before, and it takes time to ‘re-create the wheel.’ I want each dessert to be special, delicious, and memorable.”

Among the items you’ll find on menus across the country are enor-

mous “beach balls” from restaurants like Capri at The Venetian (open to Venetian guests). The striped desserts consist of a candy shell with a chocolate cake interior. Liquid fire is poured onto the chocolate balls, and it melts over the interior, creating a

delicious sauce. A “sand castle” is also on the menu.

A similar process is used at Chica at The Venetian. Lorena Garcia’s stellar Latin cuisine sets the tone for a fun dessert, and The Flaming Skull has become one of guests’ favorite

choices. It’s also one of Scott’s favorites.

“I love The Flaming Skull at Chica!” says Scott. “Seeing guests’ excited expressions when the dessert comes out of the kitchen honestly melts my heart, and who could blame them? From the golden Dia de los Muertos chocolate skull being set aflame at the table, to the hidden (extra lava) lava cake that turns into a chocolate fondue once broken, and accompanied with house-made horchata ice cream and corn marshmallows—what more can you ask for? It’s the grand finale to a full dining experience!”

Attention to detail is one of Scott’s hallmarks, and The Corn shows that—this dessert is a doppelganger for eloté, a delicious ear that is actually strawberry flan cheesecake served with graham cracker chili crumble and raspberry “Tajín.”

The list of Scott’s desserts goes on, but those creations come with technical challenges as well. “The biggest challenge isn’t creating something delicious and intriguing, it’s how you put it in e ect in the kitchen. Every kitchen has limitations with food cost, labor budgets, skill levels, and even just storage. I can’t put a dish on a menu that is going to crash the entire system, but I like this sort of puzzle and finding new and creative ways of making it work!” says Scott.

And she’s not likely to let those challenges daunt her. “I want to continue to create new dishes that awe and inspire, work harder on mentoring my team and growing their career with 50 Eggs, and take every day as an opportunity for greatness.”

Works as an app in magazine form Listing every property geographically so you’ll immediately know what’s all around you.

Time to Play

Sometimes the most important thing in purchasing your dream home is having proximity to recreational facilities like basketball, gokarts and volleyball. But what if you could purchase a home that had all of that already included? Yep, such a home exists here in the Las Vegas Valley, and it’s just hit the market.

Located in the guard-gated, exclusive community of Mountain Trails in Summerlin (only 100 homes), this two-story home, listed by Austin Sherwood of IS Luxury, totals 20,558 square feet over 1.25 acres, as a second lot was purchased in order to construct the recreational facility.

The main house is a stunning showcase, featuring seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and a six-car garage. Its courtyard is open and inviting, and the open floor plan allows for a wide variety of interior decorating options. The soaring ceilings and large windows allow for the maximum amount of natural

light, and as you explore, you’ll be stunned by the exquisite, custom touches throughout.

You’ll look forward to spending plenty of time in the comfortable movie screening room, playing a game of pool in the billiards room, getting into shape in the gym room, or building your vino collection in the spacious wine room. Whatever room you decide to spend your time in, a smart home lighting system ensures you’ll be able to customize your experience to your liking. And all the bedrooms have plenty of

space, especially the next-gen suite that has access to the courtyard. Get ready for some serious playtime time at the recreational complex. Hone your basketball skills at an indoor basketball court, which doubles as a volleyball court. In addition, your friends and family can hang out at a fireside lounge and upstairs viewing gallery with a kitchen while enjoying the incredible views. This facility also includes a golf simulator, ping-pong table, rebound wall for tennis and lacrosse and more.

Head to the backyard for even more fun! Here you’ll find plenty of space that includes an in-ground trampoline, play set, go-kart path, putting green, resort pool with a waterfall function and a spa. And when you’re ready to keep the outdoors fun going, remember, Summerlin is in close proximity to outdoor paradises like Red Rock Conservation Area. –Ken Miller
