Autumn arrives and fashions march forward with their updated trends. Swap out pieces in your wardrobe with these newcomers for a fresh look. Here, Coach combines a little prairie charm with some Gothic romance in this silk dress. Coach, Forum Shops at Caesars, 702.651.0363; Grand Canal Shoppes, 702.547.1772; Fashion Show, 702.759.3451

SLEEK VINYL Vinyl and patent leather return, extending their spring resurgence and landing on coats and shoes. Go overboard with an all shiny look or just add it to a handbag or pumps for fall. The right touch of this shiny look can lend a sophisticated air to any outfit. Marni vinyl A-line trench coat, $2,750, Saks Fifth Avenue at Fashion Show

SADDLE UP Ever since horses wore saddles, the accompanying bags have carried everything from mail to essentials. Why should 2018 be any different? Now the saddle bag gets an update with rich materials holding your most prized possessions. Go big or small. Nancy Gonzalez crocodile chain-strap saddle bag, $2,450, Neiman Marcus at Fashion Show

IT’S A ZOO OUT THERE You may as well consider animal prints a neutral alonside black, gray, brown, tan and navy. You can never go wrong wearing zebra, cheetah, tiger or even giraffe prints. Now they make a timeless statement. Saint Laurent, Kate sequin zebra-print crossbody clutch, $2,150, Saks Fifth Avenue at Fashion Show

WILD WEST Boots become all the rage once the weather turns chillier. This season, it’s all about cowboy boots, those versatile shoes that can go from casual to glam. Go for bright colors such as yellow or blue, or add some sequins to the mix for some dazzle. Fendi pale blue leather ankle boots, $1,190, Forum Shops at Caesars

GO BIG OR GO HOME While coats aren’t necessarily needed in Las Vegas for fall, they can make a fashion statement. Go with an oversized coat that layers for a fresh feel for the cooler months. Gucci straight coat, $5,050, Via Bellagio, 702.732.9300; Forum Shops at Caesars, 702.369.7333; The Shops at Crystals, 702.730.1946

INSIDER’S GUIDE

Classic Las Vegas

Las Vegas brings so much more than neon lights and gambling. Find out more about the historical side of the city. Here, concierges share some of their top picks.

Black Canyon Adventures

Benihana

Caption 7 pt, Myriad Pro Semi-

Fremont Street Experience Golden Nugget

RALPH CARL JUNIO, CONCIERGE AT WYNN LAS VEGAS Downtown Las Vegas is by far the best place to experience classic Las Vegas. From all of the historic hotels and casinos lining the Fremont Street Experience to the different exhibits such as the Mob Museum and the Neon Museum, you are certain to have a great time exploring the Downtown scene. NORMA CABRERA, CONCIERGE AT THE MIRAGE The Mob Museum over in downtown is the best place to get to know the roots of this great city. And not too far from there is Oscar’s, which is a classic Las Vegas steakhouse.

JASMYN LAM, CONCIERGE AT WYNN Downtown is the place to be! Visit stops like The Mob Museum, The Neon Museum, Fremont Street Experience, The Golden Nugget and The Four Queens. Not only will you learn a lot, but it’s such a fun outing with a group of friends. MARCEY ESSES, CONVENTION SPECIALIST AT MORRIS VISITOR PUBLICATIONS I love to send guests to Benihana at Westgate, where the show at the table is just as much fun as the food. The Peppermill on Las Vegas Boulevard just captures vintage Vegas.

14 W H E R E L A S V E G A S I S E P T E M B E R 2 018

It’s open 24 hours, bedazzled in neon and a great place to visit late at night. I always recommend stopping by the Fireside Lounge at the Peppermill for a cocktail at the firepit. Black Canyon Adventures is a great way to see the Colorado River and Lake Mead. The tour even includes the Hoover Dam. DAVID MCMAHON, CONCIERGE AT THE WALDORF ASTORIA The Fremont Street Experience in Downtown features classic Las Vegas options including Oscar’s Steakhouse at the Plaza and the Golden Nugget (Steve Wynn’s first Vegas property). Caesars Palace’s

original casino—lower ceilings and 1970s chandeliers—still has the classic Vegas vibe. CECILIA ALLRED, CONCIERGE SUPERVISOR AND THE VENETIAN AND PALAZZO Downtown Las Vegas! It is iconic in its action packed activities and old school vibe. Most guests aren’t old enough to remember classic Vegas though, but they want the feel of the Rat Pack nightclub shows and the showgirls they have seen in the movies. The lounges in town still give us the cool, hip intimacy we all want to experience with our friends. Everything old is new again.

Check out where concierges suggest to see Vintage Vegas.

Signs of the Past “The Neon Museum is such an amazing place! I love how the preservation of Las Vegas has been kept intact. It is like taking a step into the past and walking through history. Every town has its own story and for Vegas it is in its lights and signs. …They offer day and night tours, and at night a few of the restored signs are lit and brought back to life in their shining glory.” —Kathleen Hopay, concierge at Mandalay Bay

The Neon Museum features the Neon Boneyard with signs from the past, some lit at night. 15

Show Lovers

Watch your favorite football teams in style at these hot spots that have TVs at every turn, delicious chef-driven cuisine and suds that never stop flowing. (1) Umami Burger (SLS Las Vegas, 702.891.7239) offers a casual sports book with an outdoor beer garden that has an extensive craft-beer selection. Place a bet on the big games at (2) The Superbook (Westgate Las Vegas, 702.732.5111). The world’s largest sports book has 400 comfortable seats and a 4,488-square-foot HD-video screen. Bam! Emeril Lagasse’s sports bar and lounge is known for its game-day cuisine and posh viewing areas. (3) Lagasse’s Stadium (Palazzo, 702.607.2665) offers betting on the big games, stadiumstyle seating and private rooms, as well as a patio that overlooks the Strip.

It’s late and you’re hungry. Where do you go to put a stop to those late-night munchies? Las Vegas has its share of 24-hour restaurants. (1) Cafe Americano (Caesars Palace, 702.650.5921) offers classic American dishes and cocktails that arrive 24 hours a day in a stylish space that also features a patio and a bar overlooking the hotel lobby.

Do order breakfast here.

They don’t call Las Vegas the Entertainment Capital of the World for nothing. Some of the biggest names in the music biz find a home on the stages of Sin City for their live shows. (1) The Righteous Brothers (Harrah’s, 702.777.2782) team up Bill Medley and Bucky Heard with their “blue-eyed soul.” Their hits include the most played song in the history of American radio, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” (featured in the movie, “Top Gun”). (2) Donny & Marie (Flamingo, 702.733.3333) brings a stylish and heartfelt brother-and-sister act that showcases the duo’s many talents. Four Australian sensations perform doo-wop classics, the greatest Motown hits and boy-band classics in the ultimate jukebox party in (3) Human Nature: Jukebox (The Venetian, 702.414.9000).
