Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: Yes, it’s COLD in Las Vegas right now! If you’re visiting this week, odds are you didn’t pack a bathing suit, and odds are you’re not planning on spending much time outside. Luckily, this week’s issue of Las Vegas Magazine is all about what you can do indoors. From dining and lounges to attractions, shows and concerts, you’ll have plenty to do while staying warm and cozy. This week marks the return of one of the Strip’s biggest headliners, Donny Osmond, whose show at Harrah’s Las Vegas is a summation of his 60-plus years in show business (“This Is His Life,” p. 14). Also returning to his long-running residency is Santana, a legendary guitarist and songwriter who always promises a night to remember at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay (“Divinely Validated,” p. 34). For one of the most exciting concert experiences of the year, check out Día Nacional de la Banda at T-Mobile Arena, a celebration of banda music featuring some of the genre’s biggest acts (“Music of the People,” p. 32). When planning that next meal, consider Oscar’s Steakhouse at Plaza (“Be a Wise Guy,” p. 20), plant-based Crossroads Kitchen at Resorts World Las Vegas (“Celebrate Veganuary!” p. 12), or some of the various restaurants throughout the city that serve fried chicken in all its glorious forms (“The Bird Is the Word,” p. 28). Love a good cigar? Make sure to check out one of the Strip’s newest hot spots, Montecristo Cigar Bar at Paris Las Vegas (“A Fine Time,” p. 18). And before you head home, make sure to take our survey (details on p. 66) for a chance to win a free vacation at The STRAT. It only takes a few minutes, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. Our warmest wishes for a wonderful stay!

Celebrate Veganuary!
January is the month to go vegan, and we just happen to have the perfect spot to get started Chef Tal Ronnen promotes his restaurant, Crossroads Kitchen, as “an intersection where vegans, flexitarians, omnivores and meat eaters can cross paths to share a delicious meal and a good time,” he says. However, the menu is strictly vegan, but eaters of all persuasions will be totally satiated—so go for it in celebration of Veganuary! When Crossroads Kitchen opened in May of 2022 it was the first upscale, all-vegan restaurant to establish itself on the Las Vegas Strip, and the industry waited with bated breath to see if the reception would be a welcomed one. Well, mission accomplished. While veganism has become a trendy movement, Crossroads proved that it was more than a trend—it’s honest-to-goodness delicious, well-prepared, creative food. Some highlights that we’ve come to love include the calamari fritti; here, hearts of palm take the place of squid, and it’s served with lemon and diablo sauce. Spicy rigatoni vodka and the sausage, pepper and onion pizza are both fabulous Italian delights, and the Impossible meatballs and stuffed zucchini blossoms are the perfect opening companion. “Protein” here includes an eggplant skirt steak that would make you swear you were knifing into a nice cut of steak, and the scallopini Milanese is a tender and thinly sliced substitution of what should be a cut of veal. Right now, guests that would like a taste of a few popular dishes should think about indulging in two different Crossroads tasting menus. The seven-course menu for $175 per person includes the popular eggplant short rib, mushroom and leek tart, and a cauliflower and leek soup, while the five-course tasting menu for $85 per person spotlights the scallop fettucine, mushroom Bianca pizza and a lovely honeycrisp apple and gem lettuce salad. Both tasting menus close the meal with a chef’s selection of dessert; Crossroads no doubt excels at sweet treats that won’t even make you miss that pesty dairy. If a full vegan meal is something you’re not quite ready to dive into, Crossroads has a welcoming lounge area where you can sip on inspired cocktails with healthy ingredients, and you can order some apps to get your feet wet like the caviar and chips, cheese plate and figs and feta (all amazing substitutions for real seafood and dairy). –Kiko Miyasato Resorts World Las Vegas, 702.676.7978

This Is His Life
Superstar performer celebrates a life well lived in jam-packed residency on the Vegas Strip For thousands of fans who have seen Donny Osmond’s oneman show at Harrah’s Las Vegas, it’s a show for the ages. But for the man himself, it’s much more than that. “It’s a celebration more than a show … it’s like This Is Your Life,” Osmond said in an interview with Las Vegas Magazine. And once you see the show yourself, you’ll most likely agree; after all, this no-holds-barred production is a summation of Osmond’s more than six decades of performing. Yes, you read that right: Osmond has been performing almost since he could walk. And it’s no exaggeration to say Osmond has done it all and made his mark on every aspect of pop culture. Lest you doubt us, wait until you see the show’s highlight: an auto rapography in which Osmond takes his audience on his life’s journey. Even going at breakneck speed, it takes almost 10 minutes. The preparation for that segment was “huge,” Osmond told Las Vegas Magazine. “The memorization of that took a long time. When I came up with the idea, I called my director and asked, because we are trying to put six decades into 90 minutes, what do you think about me doing a rap? He starting laughing and thought it was brilliant.” Judging by the nightly reactions to the set piece, Osmond’s director was spot on. What’s really cool about this show is how Osmond takes plenty of time to detail his various successes, from an elaborate production number from Mulan (he was Captain Li Shang, remember?) to dance moves that show how he won his season of Dancing With the Stars. And fans of The Masked Singer no doubt remember his performance as the peacock (he’s picked up a whole slew of new fans from just that appearance). His body of work is so massive that even Osmond can’t remember it all, a point he makes very clear during a segment where he asks audience members to choose a song from one of his countless albums. Don’t be surprised if he ad-libs his way through it! But man, is it fun. Join the celebration. –Ken Miller

A Fine Time
Cigar lounge is a divine reprieve Want a swanky spot to sip on signature cocktails and smoke cigars? The relatively recently opened Montecristo Cigar Bar is one hot spot to kick back (with a state-of-the-art ventilation and air purification system) and light up a Padrón or Arturo Fuente and pair it with the classic Blood & Sand cocktail, made with Dewar’s blended Scotch whiskey. Stop into the climate-controlled humidor retail shop lined with Spanish cedar shelfing and stacked with more than 300 different brands of cigars including H. Upmann, La Flor Dominicana, My Father, Montecristo and Romeo Y Julieta. The knowledgeable staff is more than helpful, steering guests in the right direction if new to the cigar game—they’ll even cut and light your cigar. The 21-and-over lounge matches the décor of the property it calls home, Paris, and the Old-World Parisian feel is reminiscent of a palace in Versailles with gold trim, leather seating, intricate woodwork, marble flooring, wrought iron and dramatic lighting fixtures. This is the perfect place to chill solo or with a group who enjoys a break from the city bustle.

Besides the classic cocktail recipes on the Montecristo menu, the specialty cocktails here are impressive. Gin lovers should try the Bastille Bramble, a mix of Hendrick’s gin, blackberry liqueur, lemon juice and fresh blackberries. The Branson Sidecar uses Branson VS Phantom cognac and adds a touch of Cointreau and lemon juice. The Parisian Paloma is refreshing with Maestro Dobel Diamante tequila, Fever-Tree grapefruit sofa, lime juice and a splash of simple syrup. Perfect to begin or end your day and a great cigar pairing, the Café Du Bourbon is delicious with Bulleit rye whiskey, cold brew coffee and simple syrup. Montecristo also serves red and white wines by the glass and bottle, plus champagne, and has a good draft and bottled beer selection. Enjoy Lavazza coffee offerings, too, like the French-pressed option prepared tableside. Small bites are also available and include an assorted chef’s selection of dry cured meats, imported and domestic cheeses, and freshly made, classic kettle chips. –Kiko Miyasato

Be a Wise Guy
Downtown steakhouse is a true tribute to the spirit of old Vegas Oscar Goodman is a major historical figure in Las Vegas; from his days as an attorney representing mobsters to his years serving as mayor of Las Vegas, Goodman has made his mark here, one that continues in a major way at the steakhouse downtown that is named after him. As befits a man of Goodman’s tastes, everything at Oscar’s Steakhouse speaks to the old days when Vegas was a different town, one full of joints where wise guys met to bond over big dinners in leather booths with low lighting and

Sinatra playing on the soundtrack. It’s truly a throwback in every way, right down to the names of some of the cocktails and dishes that you’ll be enjoying, like the Consigliere, with Buffalo trace bourbon, cherry herring and sweet vermouth. If you’re a salad fan, get yourself something nice like Vinnie F’s steakhouse wedge, with peppered bacon, Point Reyes blue cheese and red onion, and Bobby K’s heirloom beets, highlighted by Bucheron cheese and candied pecans. Appetizers like Johnny Quinn’s crab cake and Crazy Phil’s onion soup? Forget
about it! And carnivores will want to leave the gun and take the house-made ricotta-, Parmesan- and basil-flavored No Nose’s mob meatballs. How good are the main courses here? Let’s just say you’ll go to the mattresses before sharing Mary’s organic chicken (with escarole and roasted chicken jus) and Oscar’s black Angus burger (on toasted brioche, American cheese and the secret “Plaza” sauce). –Ken Miller Plaza, 702.386.7227

Door-a the Explorer Open up even more fun at AREA15’s arty adventure
If you haven’t been to Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart in AREA15, you don’t know what you’re missing. And unless you look very closely at all the details of the freaky supermarket, you may still not know what you’re missing. Omega Mart combines art with attraction to create a slightly creepy scramble behind the scenes at the Dramcorp supermarket, with worlds to be discovered behind doors and desks. Even longtime fans of the attraction recently got more to uncover with the opening of two new rooms, both featuring Las Vegas artists. If you were dying to see what lay in the padlocked icebox in Seven Monolith Village, yank open the door now and check out Rhampa, a wild diorama with layers of meaning and materials accompanied by a mutable soundscape. Gail Gilbert, a dancer, sculptor and painter, brought the scene to life. Farther into Dramcorp headquarters, you’ll spy an office environment from the mind of emerging artist Mila May. In this space, titled Daydream, a detail-filled mural will capture your imagination—sound and light are incorporated as well. “In these new spaces, two incredibly talented local artists express their authentic artistic voice within our exhibit,” said Omega Mart creative director Kent Caldwell in a news release. “The results are magical works of art that reward curiosity.” –Nina King

Lounge is a cool space for boozy high tea and music With a name like The Shag Room, how could one not expect a fun time? This groovy lounge at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas has decadent décor, reminiscent of 1960s Morocco or a bohemian glamping experience complete with Persian carpets, long, luxurious draping, candles and low, cushy seating with soft fabrics. Tons of open seating is situated around the lounge, but there are also semi-private, tent-like spaces that you can reserve for that extra-special experience. “It’s a great vibe at The Shag Room,” said Kristian Brandreth, director of food and beverage for Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. “You can come and relax and enjoy a nice cocktail and music. It’s intimate, more personalized service here.” One of the best days to experience The Shag Room is on Sundays for its weekly Upside Down Tea Party—an adult, boozy high tea experience. Live music from popular Las Vegas performer Elise Victoria sets the vibe as she sings Top 40s and pop music, backed by her band. The event runs from noon to 4 p.m. and guests can indulge in some really beautiful boozy teapot cocktails

served in one of the coolest looking teapots ever, is a mix of Suntory Japanese whiskey, Good Fortune mango calamansi tea, Caribbean pineapple liqueur and firewater bitters. For wine
lovers, try the Chia Masala Mulled Wine served inside a llama-shaped glass, made with merlot, orange juice, honey and vanilla. For something sweeter, chocolate lovers should try the
Min-Tea Mexican Hot Chocolate served inside a pot shaped like a flamingo. The cocktail is mixed with El Jimador blanco tequila, Abuelita Mexican hot chocolate, agave syrup and whipped cream, and is the perfect antidote for that winter chill. The small bites, all made fresh and in-house, are super-duper delicious, beginning with the sweets like the Midnight macaron, made with black cocoa almond cookies, black cocoa ganache and salted caramel. Other treats include a vanilla bean panna cotta, blood orange French-style fruit gummies and a chef’s selection of bonbons. On the savory side, bite into little tea sandwiches like the cucumber and cream cheese or the Serrano ham and brie, and savor the chicken curry gougère, a petite pastry filled with almonds, raisins, celery salad and mango chutney. The Shag Room include a fun openmic night every Wednesday. “Any talent that people want to feature, get up onstage!” said Brandreth. The night draws up to a dozen performers. On Friday nights, enjoy That Vegas Duo, which plays country and classic rock tunes, and on Saturday nights, perhaps The Shag Room’s most hyped night, enjoy Pop 40, a live band featuring singer Lily Acre, playing Top 40 hits. Attached to The Shag Room is The Bar at Commons Club, another bar and a lounge space that welcomes a DJ on the weekends. Enjoy all the live music for free—no cover charge!

Josh Wolf
Comedian is at home in Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club Josh Wolf recently reminisced about how he fell in love with stand-up comedy. “The first time I got onstage, I was 15 years old,” he said. “I had seen stand-up on TV and I was just fascinated by it. I had found an open mic in the town next to mine, at a coffee shop. My mom and dad drove me, they sat in the front row. … The audience actually laughed and I was like, ‘Ah man, this is what I want to do.’” More than 35 years later, Wolf’s love of comedy has brought him success in TV, stage and radio. Currently, you can see him

every Monday at 7:30 p.m., hosting his own comedy show The Fantastical Jamboree at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at The Linq Promenade. Wolf’s show is a mix of storytelling, comedy and music (he sings and plays the guitar). “I make it Vegas-y,” he said. “It’s different every time.” While he’s toured all over the country performing stand-up, Wolf has a fondness for his ongoing Vegas gig. “I love the variety of people—Vegas provides people from the world,” he said. “I love this particular stage; I like the size and shape
and height, a lot. And Kimmel, his name is trusted for being funny, so people come in here and know it’ll be a good show.” It’s all about family when Wolf isn’t onstage. He has a podcast with his son (who participates in his Vegas shows occasionally) and enjoys time with his wife. And he loves that he can live and work in Vegas. “I’m having more fun, I have more energy, I’m an older gentleman, but I don’t feel like I’ve lost any desire for comedy, and I feel so grateful to be here right now in this moment doing what I do.” –Kiko Miyasato

Find something to crow about with Vegas’ fried chicken offerings By Nina King When it comes to fried chicken, you’ll discover a multitude of options for this perennial favorite in numerous restaurants across Las Vegas. Dig in! One of the trendiest things in fried chicken isn’t new, although Korean-American chef, TV personality and cookbook author Judy Joo’s casual Seoul Bird at Aria is relatively recent. Situated in Proper Eats Food Hall, Seoul Bird serves up Korean fried chicken, which stands out, Joo says, because of the process the chicken goes through as it’s prepared. “We use a wet batter, opposed to a dry batter… Korean fried chicken originally was a wet batter. Over time, it’s evolved and people are starting to use dry batters for it because dry batter is so much easier operationally.” But Seoul Bird, Joo says, will continue to use wet batters. “It’s much more labor intensive, but the result is so much better. (You) get this thin, crispy crust. People call it eggshell chicken because you get that crack.” Her version of the chicken also incorporates matzo meal and potato starch, as well as a double-frying technique to keep the crust crispy. Seoul Bird, was born out of the popularity of the Korean chicken

at Joo’s London restaurant, Jinjuu (Joo resides in England). “Our Korean fried chicken had a cult status following— people just could not get enough of it, and could not even walk by the venue without coming in and having a cheeky little bite. And so we decided it deserved its own concept, and there was definitely a gap in the market, particularly in the U.K.” Joo has opened four branches of Seoul Bird, with more in the works. Traditional Southern fried chicken shines on menus across Las Vegas as well, with Yardbird Southern Table & Bar at The Venetian (a venue from Florida-based 50 Eggs), where you will find Lewellyn’s Fine Fried Chicken, a full half of the bird. It comes in both a Nashville hot style and in a Korean style as well. Nellie’s Southern Kitchen opened last year, bringing the Jonas family‘s recipes to Vegas. The restaurant is named for Kevin Jonas Sr.’s mother, who was much loved by the family and community, and the MGM Grand location is the second to open after the North Carolina original. Here, the signature chicken and waffles offers a

great choice for brunch or dinner, with cinnamon honey butter, maple syrup and berries. The fried chicken plate offers a second helping as well as a side of collard greens. Virgil’s Real Barbecue, a longtime favorite of visitors to The LInq Promenade, offers its Crispy Kansas Fried Chicken, another half-bird plate. The dish comes with sides and a buttermilk

biscuit. You can request all-white meat for an additional charge. And at Resorts World Las Vegas, Impossible nuggets at celebrated chef Marcus Samuelsson’s casual Streetbird give even vegans a crispy, savory crust to enjoy. But the venue also offers Samuelsson’s celebrated hot and spicy Nashville-style fried chicken sandwiches, featuring boneless thighs.

Día Nacional de la Banda is a rare event not to be missed by Mexican music fans Word of Día Nacional de la Banda returning to Las Vegas is enough incentive for attendees of previous banda superconcerts to add it to their calendars, but a lineup that counts legendary singer-songwriter Pancho Barraza as headliner practically makes attendance mandatory. Even better, the concert serves as a tribute to Barraza with a curated lineup set to pay homage to one of Sinaloa’s favorite musical sons. Barraza, 63, will be honored the day of the show with his own piece of pavement on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars, then will serve as guest of honor on a bill that features La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, Luis Angel “El Flaco”, La Adictiva, Banda Los Sebastianes, Edwin Luna y La Trakalosa De Monterrey, Gerardo Coronel, Majo Aguilar, Adal Loreto, Banda Renovación. Special guest Eslabon Armado will keep the stage warm as the penultimate performer of the evening. The concert is cousin to its precursor Calibash, which has been held in Las Vegas in the past but only took place in the Golden State this year. Día Nacional de la Banda is the Vegas version of bringing the best in banda music to the same stage in celebration of Mexico’s music of the people. Like country music, banda has its origins in the 19th century when horns and wind instruments became obtainable in Mexico’s villages and musicians began to formulate a style of playing influenced by marching bands and European folk dances such as
32 | 1.21.24 Las Vegas Magazine
polkas. Where country relied on string instruments that evolved into bass and electric guitars, banda’s bottom end is established with brass. If there’s a tuba or saxophone, it’s banda. Barraza established himself in Mexico’s music industry in the ’90s as a grupo vocalist but became a featured singer with Banda los Recoditos where his songwriting ability began to match his compassionate singing. He was just as adept with rancheros and romanticos, and released first solo album Mis Canciones de Amor in 1995. He became known as “The Poet of Love” with many chart successes. His most recent single released in October, “Me Voy a Alejar,” exemplifies his style and demonstrates his continuing relevance as an artist. Barraza’s ability to electrify audiences remains consistent, as is the case with

Pancho Barraza
Eslabon Armado. Having the youthful Mexican-American act as special guests opening for Barraza creates a bridge between generations, as Eslabon Armado is part of a new wave of banda proponents charting the music’s future course. More minimalist than ensemble, Eslabon Armado relies more on guitars enhanced by horns than synthesized sounds to get people on their feet. La Adictiva has no such restrictions and turns the proceedings into party time with songs such as “El Pisto.” Lush arrangement in the recorded work from Luis Angel “El Flaco” will fill T-Mobile Arena with romantic atmosphere during his set. Expect songs of amor, both faithful and forbidden, from the likes of La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, Banda Los Sebastianes, Edwin Luna y La Trakalosa De Monterrey, Coronel, Aguilar and Loreto. It’s a rare occasion to have so much talent under one roof on one date, one that should not be missed by connoisseurs of cumbia beats.

Santana returns to Vegas residency after streaming release of Carlos documentary Long-awaited biographical documentary Carlos was released to theaters in September for a limited run after being screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in July. Now it’s available for streaming and provides the perfect warm-up before attending An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live. Carlos Santana has been leading his band through career-spanning sets at their House of Blues residency since May 2012, but the film makes it possible to know the man and his music intimately before seeing him live. A first-person memoir, The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light, was published in November 2014 and gives similar insight into his origins, musical evolution and spiritual journey. It could not provide visuals of his father playing the violin or capture the wonder in Santana’s voice as he describes hearing birds singing in response to José Santana’s bowed-string melodies. The youthful Santana would first learn music on violin. His father was a classically trained mariachi musician, so theory was instilled before he first heard a guitarist playing through an amplifier. Santana would

circumstances that led to the ambitious, driven Santana meeting promoter Bill Graham and being invited to play the Fillmore West. It reveals which Grateful Dead member gave him the acid that fueled his inspired playing at Woodstock. It allows him to relate how taking a spiritual path in the early ’70s helped him escape the tragic circumstances that affected peers such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. There is a lot of musical footage featuring dozens of musicians that helped him realize his musical visions. “Real musicians, they call it a force of nature,” he says early in the documentary. “They create a different kind of transformation molecular structure through sound resonance and vibration.” Santana’s career had ups and downs, of course. The film climaxes with the story of the success of Supernatural, which reaches its silver
anniversary this year and garnered eight Grammys. Mega-hits from that album “Smooth” and “Maria Maria” have long been highlights of An Intimate Evening. There is one part of the film, which counts Ron Howard and Brian Grazer as executive producers and which was directed by rising filmmaker Rudy Valdez, that was particularly poignant: Santana relates the story about how his father lost the will to go on once he could no longer play the violin. It’s not sad, it’s just what happened. One day Santana himself will no longer be able to play his chosen instrument. That day is long in the future judging from the fretwork he demonstrated in Carlos. For now, he leads a contented existence performing in a band with wife Cindy Blackman on drums, providing a reallife ending of the documentary for fans that attend his concerts after seeing the film.

‘Soul of Motown’ performers Sean Stewart Godfrey and Brandon Godfrey make beautiful music Soul of Motown is one of the most popular musical tribute shows in Las Vegas, and the undeniable onstage chemistry between Sean Stewart Godfrey and Brandon Godfrey is a big part of the show’s success. The two talented singers were married in 2020 after launching the show with their castmates at the Westgate Cabaret in 2019, a rollicking tour through some of the most beloved music in American history that will have you dancing in the aisles. It’s a can’t-miss production, but it hits an emotional peak when these artists duet.
Brandon: When I first came in for the audition and saw her onstage, I just thought, she is beautiful. The whole night, I could care less about the other guys performing. I was in another show at the time and had to drive back to Virginia, and I told my friend that night that there’s this girl in the show, and that’s gonna be my girl. But I had to bide my time. Sean: It was six months before I had any idea whatsoever. Everybody else seemed to be in on the secret but me!
Brandon: You don’t realize what type of energy you exude. With us, there’s always been a connection that reads well to the audience. Sean: Because we’re married, we gel perfectly onstage. It works for us, and it’s

funny, because we had chemistry to begin with. Even before we were together, people who knew nothing about us would come up and talk to us, thinking we’re together. ticketmaster.com
Sean: It gets no better. Motown has the ability to bring you out whatever you’re feeling. It can shift your spirit. Brandon: There’s a timbre, a sound that Motown brings, a beat that Motown brings, and it just makes you feel something. That’s the feeling Motown was going for back in its time. There was a lot going on, those were tough times. Motown makes you forget about everything that’s going on and says, I’m here for a good time. It exudes love.
Sean: A lot of other shows are doing impersonations or other things to take you back to that era. The thing we love about this show is we can bring our own twist to it, individualize it to give our own perception of that song. It’s a modern Motown concert, a tribute to the artists from our hearts.
Brandon: “Tracks of My Tears” is probably my favorite. It’s a classic and it tells a story ... It’s a pretty song to stand and sing, but when you get the story and the emotion behind the song, you feel like you’ve never heard it that way before. Sean: There are some (songs by) artists that were not Motown artists. Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” will always be my favorite song, and it was originally done by Dolly Parton, who is from Tennessee, my home state.

million. It would also usher in a higher level of luxury, guest offerings and immersive fantasy with a Polynesian island vibe, including the 80-foot-tall
atrium complete with lush vegetation and waterfall feature. The Mirage continues its reputation as a longtime favorite for repeat visitors and a popular destination for the new generation by offering tons of amenities to enjoy a full day of vacationing. Here, we’ve rounded up three of our favorite spots to eat, drink and be merry. Enjoy!

Bright and airy, Osteria Costa transports guests to the Amalfi Coast in both décor and cuisine. And it’s the cuisine that makes this restaurant a must-visit for anyone who comes to The Mirage. Just ask Rocco Davi, a longtime favorite server at the restaurant (who, coincidentally, has worked at the property since it opened). “It’s classic Italian, but it’s the best classic Italian you’re ever going to have,” Davi says. “I’m so proud of our chef because I have no problem walking up to a table and asking how our food is because I always get the same response, ‘It’s incredible.’ I’m confident in every dish here; it’s just great food.” Don’t miss the seasonal dishes right now, which include the mushroom pizza with leeks and sharp provolone. Osteria’s signature chicken Parm is a longtime guest favorite, as are linguine and clams, and spaghetti and meatballs. Enjoy a great happy hour every night from 9-10 p.m., with small plates and wines by the glass for only $9 and specialty cocktails for $10.
Rhumbar Tropical Ultra Lounge
The patio at Rhumbar Tropical Ultra Lounge is the perfect spot to chill with some cocktails. (And a cigar! They have a great selection.) The spacious outdoor space gives off a ’70s Miami vibe, and inside is a posh bar with lounge seating. At Rhumbar, the name of the game is

rum cocktails, and boy, do they have an impressive selection with specialty cocktail highlights like the 100 Foot Wave with Coruba dark rum and the Rhumbar Baller Old-Fashioned with Flor de Caña 18-year rum. Group fun should include one of the colossal cocktails that are meant to be shared, like the eye-catching Kiwi…Do You Love Me? and the Call the Fuzz Mimosa Tower. Keeping the party going each night are live DJs that get people up on their feet with a mix of musical genres.
With so much on your Vegas to-do list—from shows, dining and shopping to gambling and paying for your room—The Mirage has come in clutch by offering visitors free live entertainment nightly at the property. For a more social vibe (and in the heart of all the action on the casino floor), Center Bar offers live rock, pop and indie music from local bands and singers like Swipe Right, Ashley Red and Rock 702, in addition to rotating DJs. Over at Parlor Cocktail Lounge, guests can relax in the intimate environment reminiscent of a speakeasy while listening to dueling pianos, acoustic duos and trios and pop sets from bands like Pop Rebels Duo and Downtown Avenue.

Originally known as stickball, lacrosse dates back to 1100 A.D. when the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois people, played in what is now the Northeastern United States and Canada. Revered as the Creator’s game, the sport was played for many reasons—for toughening young warriors, for recreation and for its spiritual components. You can now enjoy box lacrosse, a modern version of the game played atop turf within the bounds of a hockey rink, where the ball can be played off the walls.

It’s known as the fastest game on two feet, and fans can expect cunning game play and a decent helping of roughhousing from one of the newest teams in the sport—the Las Vegas Desert Dogs, who face off against Panther City this week on the Las Vegas Strip. “It looks like hockey; there’s five players and a goalie on and we’re in a hockey rink, but we specialize (positions). Our offensive guys play offense only, then they get off and (others) play defense, so there’s lots of interchanging,” head coach,
general manager and National Lacrosse League Hall of Famer Shawn Williams said. “And I would equate the movements and patterns to that of basketball … You add a little football with some big hits, so there’s a little bit of everything.” Forwards Rob Hellyer (No. 10) and Zack Greer (No. 88) form a dynamic pair whose combined skill set lays the foundation for a challenging offense. Facing a goal that stands a mere 4 feet tall and 4 feet 9 inches wide—and guarded by a largely padded goaltender—means
scoring requires keen accuracy and movement that deceives the opposing goalie. Sharpshooters like Charlie Bertrand (No. 61) and Jack Hannah (No. 33) add to the intimidating offense, finding frequent scoring opportunities. Cleaning up loose balls are transition players Jacob Ruest (No. 20) and Tor Reinholdt (No. 7.) Offering a 50/50 opportunity to gain possession of the ball, loose ball pickups can change the course of the game. Defensively, the Dogs lock it down with quick footwork and acute field awareness.
