Greet the Day Properly
Resort destination o ers a terrifi c brunch menu
Brunch rules! It’s the best way to start your day, especially when there’s so many options to choose from. And at Zeppola Café, you don’t just get a great meal—you get an experience.
The well-appointed eatery has two levels, and we highly recommend dining on the second level, where you can overlook St. Mark’s Square of the Grand Canal Shoppes. It’s the perfect setting for large or small groups.
While sipping some of the best co ee to be found on the Las Vegas Strip, you’ll likely find it di cult to choose just one item from the menu. That’s okay—order several and share! Highlights include the B.L.T. Eggs Benedict, served on hearty country bread and adorned with romaine lettuce, Roma tomatoes and chipotle mayo, the
by Christopher DeVargas
chicken pesto omelet, here given extra flavor with Parmesan, and the breakfast wrap, stu ed full of the good stu : smoked bacon, scrambled eggs, home-made mayo and cheddar.
Want something sweet? Zeppola Café has you covered. The classic ricotta pancakes are a hot seller, and once you take a bite, you’ll see why; with the cinnamon sprinkled in, it’s like eating a cinnamon bun! For a serious baked treat, try Zeppola’s two signature croissants, the Rolly and the Cube. Both are available in Nutella, pistachio, chocolate mascarpone, mango and strawberry, but the Cube benefi ts from the addition of pineapple. –Ken Miller

The Spice of Life
Downtown variety show is unlike any other
Amy Saunders clearly loves Las Vegas. Over the years, she’s brought the city no fewer than three amazing variety productions, the latest of which, Miss Behave’s Mavericks, can be seen at downtown’s Plaza. Saunders also loves the notion of old Las Vegas, a time of super-cheap drinks, free parking and an anything-goes spirit of fun.
It’s in that spirit that Saunders presents Mavericks, where she makes it a point to mention during the show that a.) the drinks are super-cheap; b.) parking is free (and there are no ticket fees); and c.) this truly is a show where anything goes. On any given night, the show you see may be completely di erent from the previous one, so mercurial is Saunders and her love of spontaneity. (At one performance, the entire Green Valley High School
marching band got onstage and performed with an Elvis impersonator!)
The skills reflected by this incredible cast range from ballet (Bella Schleiker is as noteworthy for her dancing as her hilarious facial expressions) and burlesque (Julie Atlas Muz might make multiple appearances, and that’s a very good thing) to juggling (Christopher Stoinev is flawless) and a “water dump” (think Flashdance, but substituting in the gorgeous Alexandria Beauregard for Jennifer Beals).
You’ll also see the considerable skills of Saunders herself. No spoilers, but su ce it to say they fi t in perfectly with the tone of the show. –Ken Miller

Ready, Aim …
Firearms owners see Las Vegas in a different light than the average visitor. The city provides an opportunity to spend a morning or afternoon brushing up on shooting skills and testing different weapons. The casual owner who doesn’t get much chance to handle their handguns at home can work target practice into a visit. Whatever skill level, it helps to be mindful of a destination with a landmark, like The Range 702’s shared latitude with the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.
Following a morning day trip to the sign with a visit to The Range 702 combines two happenings in Vegas that go together like tacos and Tuesdays. You don’t have to settle for one menu item at Range 702, though. Located west of the Strip and Bali High Golf Club, the venue has 16 shooting
ranges and machine gun experiences for all levels.
Aspiring firearms owners can start out with the Suns Out, Guns Out package designed for beginners, while adrenaline-craving life partners have a tailor-made Couples Therapy option. Things get more intriguing from there with Black Ops, Area 51 and Judgement Day themes providing exciting s cenarios.
The Range 702 offers a Femme Fatale designed to make ladies feel comfortable. People who never plan to own a gun can learn how to handle one. You never know when you may have to exercise a constitutional right. –Matt Kelemen

Don’t feel like parking at Allegiant Stadium? This is the place for you
Whether you’ve got tickets to an upcoming Raiders game or an upcoming event at Allegiant Stadium, there’s now an alternative to parking directly at the venue—WSKY Stadium, a restaurant and bar about as close as you can get to the stadium without actually being there, and one with ample parking, meaning you can enjoy an Allegiant Stadium event with easy ingress and egress. And best of all, you’ll enjoy a fun dining experience with great beers and cocktails.
Start your experience here by parking in one of the 638 spots available (free on nonevent days). From there, it’s easy access to WSKY Stadium, where you’ll get striking views of the stadium while enjoying craft and draft beers, not to mention cocktails like the Frey Fog, a unique sipper featuring
locally produced Frey Ranch bourbon, honey syrup and bitters, all finished with a fog of smoke.
Menu highlights include the Italian Grinder, a beast of a sandwich piled high with salami, ham, spicy capicola, provolone and more on French bread, the Are You In Or Are You Out sliders, two double-patty mini burgers with American cheese and all the fixings (plus “secret sauce”), and the fish and chips, featuring beer-battered white fish serves with fries, coleslaw, onion hush puppies (yum!), dill and caper aioli.
Don’t forget dessert! Try the Seasonal Shorty, buttermilk sugar biscuits with Bavarian cream and a seasonal filling. –Ken Miller
