José Andrés
ALAN DE LEON, TOWER SUITE REPRE SENTATIVE AT ARIA Chef José Andrés, for bringing Spanish cuisine to a whole new level in Las Vegas, with his restaurants Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at SLS, Jaleo at Cosmopolitan and é by José Andrés (inside Jaleo). NORMA CABRERA, CONCIERGE AT THE MIRAGE It’s a tie between Michael Mina and Tom Colicchio. You know they’re good when they have multiple restaurants. JONES TANTOCO, CONCIERGE AT THE DELANO Chef Hubert Keller! I’m
so lucky that I met him at his restaurant and became friends. He is an amazing, kind, generous, sincere and down-to-earth celebrity chef. KATHLEEN HOPAY, CONCIERGE AT MANDALAY BAY I love Giada at the Cromwell. As she says, “It is a little bit of everything but not a lot of anything,” and the restaurant is open for brunch, lunch and dinner. I recommend ordering the eggplant tapenade, lemon spaghetti and the lemon ricotta cookies. Incredible flavors and the presentation is always top notch. A fabulous view of The Fountains of Bellagio
along with outstanding service makes this a stand out in my opinion. MARCEY ESSES, CONVENTION SPECIALIST AT MORRIS VISITOR PUBLICATIONS Giada at The Cromwell. The view, the food, as well as the staff all create a great dining experience. MARK MILLER, CONCIERGE AT MANDALAY BAY AND THE DELANO Charlie Palmer. DAVID MCMAHON, WALDORFASTORIA CONCIERGE It is hard to pick only one celebrity chef since I enjoy various
styles of cooking and each chef’s specific attributes. A few of my favorites include Joel Robuchon, Julian Serrano, Michael Mina, José Andrés, Wolfgang Puck, Thomas Keller and Scott Conant. CECILIA ALLRED, THE CONCIERGE SUPERVISOR AND THE VENETIAN AND PALAZZO I can only pick one? I can’t! I really have to say Alain Ducasse at Rivea at the Delano and Hubert Keller at Fleur at Mandalay Bay. Not only are they phenomenal chefs and their restaurants set standards, they are both so supportive of concierge.

Las Vegas Your Way
Foodie No need to figure out whether to go to dinner or a show. The dinner is part of the show at these interactive entertainment experiences in Las Vegas. Dinner and a murder? (1) Marriage Can be Murder (D Las Vegas, 702.388.2111) includes both with an interactive dinner theater experience in which the audience becomes part of the mystery unfolding around it. Let Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. serenade you during (2) The Rat Pack is Back (Tuscany Suites & Casino, 702.947.5981). Dinner and a show goes for $89.95. Cheer on your favorite knight (or dragon) while you eat with your fingers during (3) Tournament of Kings (Excalibur, 702.597.7600 ). Invading armies, dancing maidens and jousting included in this show perfect for kids. 64 W H E R E L A S V E G A S I N O V E M B E R 2018
KidFriendly Even Vegas has fun things to do with the kids. Get your thrills going at (1) Adventuredome (Circus Circus, 702.794.3939) with more than 25 rides at this five-acre, indoor amusement park. Canyon Blaster rumbles along at 55 mph as the world’s only indoor double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster. The wonder of discovery is realized at (2) Discovery Children’s Museum (at the Smith Center, 702.382.5437), a fun and educational museum where kids of all ages can ascend the 12 levels of “The Summit” to explore electricity, energy, space and much more. (3) The Big Apple Coaster at NY-NY (New York-New York, 702.740.6616) rolls through negative Gs that take you past the replicated New York City skyline. New? A virtual reality experience through the entire 4,777-foot track.
Girls’ Night Out Ladies, let the guys entertain you if for just one night. Whether a bachelorette party or just a girls’ night out, these three revues are must-sees. (1) Magic Mike Live (Hard Rock Hotel, 800.745.3000) brings actor Channing Tatum’s character from the big screen to the stage in a room renovated to look like Club Domina. Add a sizzling 360-degree dance floor and acrobatic strip shows for some va va voom. (2) Chippendales (Rio, 702.777.2782) brings an incredibly sensual late-night experience for women featuring a dozen male dancers performing tastefully sexy routines. Want your boys from Down Under? (3) Australia’s Thunder From Down Under (Excalibur, 702.597.7600 ) offers two hours of stimulating dance routines by the hard-bodied Australian dance troupe.
