Chris D’Elia
Rising comic star visits Las Vegas Chris D’Elia was destined to work in entertainment. With early insight into the industry via a TV producer dad (who directed his 2015 Netflix special Incorrigible) and a natural flair for comedy onstage as well as in front of the camera, the Undateable star’s decadelong rise as a standup talent is hitting a high point. Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen spoke with D’Elia, who plays The Mirage on Aug. 27, at a time when a break in his schedule allowed him to be fully focused on making live audiences laugh. You’re a natural for short format comedy, especially on Snapchat and newer social media outlets. It just seems to fit you. Yeah, well, I feel like everyone’s into that short format stuff now, and I always try to figure out any aspect of whatever comedy it is we’re trying to do. I feel like every time a new app comes to be, a new popular app, or if I think it’s going to be, I kind of try to figure it out and how to do it best, to the best of my ability, and then figure out how it works with me. I think it has to do with that, and then also if it’s popular, I’m trying to make it work. I don’t want to let it go and then not be involved in it because I know that a huge part of the public is getting involved with it. You are fairly fearless as a comic. A lot of comedians say they have no filter, but you seem to let yourself be a little more unrestrained than most comedians without it being an intentional anti-PC thing. Do you deliberately keep your filter open or is that your natural approach to comedy? It’s kind of just me, man. When I get up onstage, what I want to do is—I want to treat everybody like I’m hanging out with them and they’re my friends. That’s the hardest anyone ever laughs, when you’re out with your friends.
24 8.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
You know what I mean? If I can make the audience feel that way, and I can feel that way, then it’s like we’re all just hanging out, you know? That to me is the most fun kind of stand-up. What’s your career been like since Undateable wrapped production in January? Did you have projects lined up? I still had projects lined up, but I also have a bunch of road dates. I’m going to do my next special sometime soon, and I have some television shows that I’m going to try and pitch. We probably wouldn’t have seen you on Lip Sync Battle if you were still doing Undateable. I put XOXO on my Netflix queue per your Twitter instruction. It’s been described as an EDM comedy and a highthrill EDM film. It’s less of a comedy and more of a coming-of-age kind of a movie for that whole young 20-something EDM-type (audience). I think calling it a comedy is a little misleading, but it is funny. It’s just not Wedding Crashers.
little bit older than them. I’m in my 30s and I get this bus, and I have them rent spots from me on this bus. And then we get to the EDM festival and we all get split up and we have to meet up back together. It’s a really sweet, funny movie. I really liked it. I saw it last week and it was great.
You play a character named Neil. What’s his role in it? It’s all about 20-somethings that are trying to get to this EDM festival, and I play the guy that’s a
Will your dad direct again? I saw “Bill D’Elia” credited as the director of Incorrigible before I knew who he was. What’s it like being directed by your
father? You must have a great relationship to be able to work with him like that. I only want to work with people I like, and beyond that who I’ve worked with before and get along with. There’s too much left up to chance when you don’t. He’s great, man, and he also knows my act better than anyone besides me and a few other people. He knows it in a way that’s visual. He sees it a lot, so he knows what cameras to use when. That’s really advantageous.
SCENE

Approximate number of performances by the Blue Man Group in Las Vegas. The Blue Men have performed at a variety of venues since bringing their show to Las Vegas in 2000. They currently perform at Luxor.
Legendary comedian Phyllis Diller’s final live performance was at the Suncoast Showroom in 2002, filmed for a documentary entitled Goodnight, We Love You.
Bring Your Camera
Las Vegas is full of photo ops, and the Strip just added one to the list: The statue featured on Michael Jackson’s album HIStory: Past, Present and Future Book 1, arguably one of the most iconic images from the late pop star’s legacy. And for a limited time, that same statue can be seen in the lobby of Mandalay Bay, the home of the Cirque du Soleil production Michael Jackson ONE. It joins other Jackson memorabilia, including the jacket he wore at the 1984 American Music Awards and a pair of black loafers and crystalencrusted white socks.
The Air Up There
If you want to see the Grand Canyon like you’ve never seen before, Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters has been offering unparalleled tours for years. And with the addition of a heliport next to the Hoover Dam Lodge Hotel & Casino, Papillon now has seven helicopter bases in Nevada and Arizona. And as an added bonus for customers, Papillon now has approval to fly closer to the Hoover Dam than any other tour operator, adding four new Hoover Dam-area tours to their menu.

Redd Foxx, famous not only for his stand-up comedy but also the hit ’70s comedy series Sanford and Son, lived in Las Vegas for more than 40 years until his death in 1991. Prince had a short-lived residency in Las Vegas for a few months in 2006 and 2007, performing at Club 3121 at the Rio. Before their show was cut short by a tiger attack, magical duo Siegfried & Roy performed 5,750 shows together, mainly on the Las Vegas Strip.
One question
Anthony Cools What childhood experience had the greatest impact on the adult that you’ve become? When I was 12 years old, I was waiting for my father to come home from one of his usual 12-hour shifts managing a grocery store. When my father arrived, he went directly to the sofa and laid down. I asked him, “Are you OK, Dad?” And he responded, “If you want to be truly successful, never work for someone else.” It became apparent to me that the weight of his job took a toll on him each night. Within a month, I started a mobile DJ company called TNT Music. My company was booked almost every weekend, partially because of my age, but I like to think I was a pretty good DJ, too. This job taught me how to talk on a microphone as well as how to be confident and professional in front of hundreds of people. This is a skill I still use to this day as a headliner at Paris Las Vegas—now into my 11th year of residency. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for all the sacrifices you both have made for me (Mom had to drive me to my gigs in the family station wagon). I love you both!

Wild Improv World While Puppet Up! Uncensored is pretty far removed from the kind of entertainment the late Jim Henson created, it has a direct connection to Henson’s Muppets via his son Brian. An off-the-wall hybrid of puppeteering and improv, Puppet Up! takes a cast of six people, 12 arms, 60 puppets and a system that enables audiences to see either the puppets within the intended tableau on jumbo screens above the stage, or the creation of the scenes by the performers onstage. Or both simultaneously. The key to the success of writer-director Brian Henson’s and actor Patrick Bristow’s (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) co-creation is an audience that can come up with scenarios the cast can turn into instant skits. The suggestions tend to be suggestive, but the puppeteers courageously turn them into humor with apparent ease. A few lucky audience members may get to participate more directly as game show-style guests or even guest puppeteers, but everyone walks away from Puppet Up! Uncensored feeling like they participated in the show. –Matt Kelemen

So Long, Farewell ... Veteran rock bands seem to be constantly mounting farewell tours, only to return to the stage a few years later (or even more quickly). Still, when a classic band like the Go-Go’s announces that its latest tour will be its last, the smart move is to seize the opportunity, since you never know if it will really be the last one. Go-Go’s fans would want to catch the band’s latest tour even if it wasn’t billed as the end, since the band has been in top-notch shape over the last

several years, with regular tours following a reunion in 1999. Their sunny, smart brand of pop-rock has been influential on modern acts, too, and this latest tour includes singer-songwriter Kaya Stewart and indie rockers Best Coast as opening acts. During their ’80s heyday, the Go-Go’s notched massive hits like “Vacation,” “We Got the Beat” and “Our Lips Are Sealed,” all of which they’ll certainly be performing as part of their long goodbye. –Josh Bell
At Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill, entrée selections such as cowboy prime top sirloin steak and baby back ribs will make your decision difficult, but you can’t go wrong with the surf-and-turf deal-breaker barbecue riband-shrimp combo or the shrimp BLT po’boy.

Endless Summer Can you really hang ten in the desert? Absolutely! The first of its kind in Vegas, the FlowRider Wave-in-a-Box Double adds excitement to the pool season at Planet Hollywood Resort. Whether you’re a pro or a newbie, you can surf the machine-made waves bodyboard-style. Those familiar with skateboarding, snowboarding or wakeboarding should easily adapt to standing up on one of the flowboards. It’s easy to get the hang of, so first-timers can test their skills, too. Soon, you’ll be able to execute a variety of turns and try out some tricks, too. And, don’t worry about wiping out—the FlowRider provides a surface that helps to absorb the impact. Guests must be at least 42 inches tall to try out the boogie board and 48 inches for the Surf the Strip experience. For those looking for more kicking back than catching waves, kick it at the nearby Pleasure Pools. With two separate pool decks and more than two dozen cabanas and daybeds, live DJs

Italian With a Twist In any Italian restaurant, pasta is paramount, and executive chef Michael LaPlaca’s approach may be unprecedented at Portofino at The Mirage. The burrata-stuffed agnolotti are painstakingly wrapped, moments before being served with lobster doused with slightly sweet roasted corn butter. LaPlaca has some tricks up his sleeve such as with his ripatelli; you’ve most likely never had it before because he invented it while attempting to replicate “torn” pasta. Necessity truly is the mother of invention. The same is true of the chicken “rollatini” Parmesan,
which transforms chicken legs and thighs into a sausage, which is then subsequently wrapped in a breast—you’ll most likely never experience another chicken Parmesan like it. On the lighter side, snapper “in cartoccio” is sublime. While the original incarnation is served in paper, Portofino’s is prepared in a plastic bag, where it is baked in its own juices along with Santa Margherita pinot grigio, olives and artichokes. Sliced open tableside with a welcoming aroma wafting from within, the flaky fish literally falls apart on the plate. –Jim Begley
Strawberry Burst To make the most of your summer, drink in the lighter flavors of the season. You can find plenty of seasonal cocktails and classics at the plush Lily Bar & Lounge in Bellagio, where bartender Elaina Hartman has created the Strawberry Burst. The drink is packed with fresh, bright taste, mixing Absolut Citron vodka, limoncello, strawberry purée and lemon juice. And although the cocktail was created with summer in mind, if you’re lucky, you may just find it’s still here in the fall.

Charting Success Mariah Carey is No. 1, and she can prove it 18 times. She has more No. 1 singles than any other solo artist and has sold more than 200 million albums. From her first chart-topper, “Vision of Love,” to 1997’s music video for No. 1 single, “Honey,” Carey kept rising to the top. Throughout the ’90s, the songstress ruled the airwaves and MTV, with No. 1 singles like “Dreamlover” and “I’ll Be There.” Although her last No. 1 single was in 2007, in Vegas, Carey proves again why she’s still No. 1. –Kiko Miyasato Caesars Palace, 8 p.m. Aug. 24, 27-28 & 31, Sept. 3-4, 7 & 10-11, $55-$250 plus tax and fee. 866.320.9763

Dream Days Is there a better band with a better summer name than Beach House? Like the season itself, their music often feels like a light breeze, easy to walk in the sand to and unwind after a long day. Or, if you have just gone through a summer breakup with your partner, well, they’ve got that whole melancholy thing covered, too. For over a decade, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have been a dominant force on the dream pop landscape. Her voice, so interesting, so pretty, so ethereal, plays against his fuzzy and sometimes scorching guitar riffs to create something unique in the pop world. Look no further than “Myth” off of Bloom (2012). From the opening notes, you are immediately transported somewhere, but you are not sure where. Then there’s “Norway” off of Teen Dream (2010). Perhaps this is the best example of just how shoegazey Beach House can get. It’s also prime material for the noted comparison of Legrand to mysterious alt icon Nico. Perhaps if Legrand had been born some
decades earlier, she too, would have sung with The Velvet Underground. Experience what she and Scally are doing. And end up in another world. –Jason Harris

A Gathering of Magic Entertainment, shake hands with subversion. Each shares the spotlight when Penn & Teller— i.e., tall, talkative Penn Jillette and diminutive, wordless Teller (no surname, thank you)—take the stage for a show that’s a brand-name recipe for magical goodness around the globe. Expect nothing as simple as mere abracadabra. Instead, expect World Series-level illusions—dazzling fastballs and mystifying off-speed pitches. Watch as Teller escapes from a helium-filled trash bag—without letting the gas do likewise. Witness an audience member ushered onstage

Yet it’s when they expose fakery (with a joke book gag) and make points about personal liberty (a tutorial on fooling airport metal detectors involving bits of metal and the Bill of Rights) that they apply their style-meets-substance trademark.

The world has caught up to Michael Franti. Before phone cameras and viral videos, the singer-songwriter expressed his passion for social justice and humanitarian causes through an evolving spectrum of musical styles. Through collaborations and acts such as the Beatnigs and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, he helped fan the flames of activism. He truly found himself in 1994 when he formed Spearhead. Franti and his fellow musicians create a gumbo of acoustic and electric funk, soul, reggae, dancehall and other roots-oriented styles, as expressed in Michael Franti & Spearhead’s latest album Soulrocker. Franti now delivers an uplifting, positive message through song and performance. Songs such as “Good to Be Alive Today,” “We Are All Earthlings” and “I Got Love For Ya” are sonic salves for divisive days, while “My Favorite Wine Is Tequila” serves as a reminder that a Spearhead show is a good time first and foremost and, like all of Franti’s musical incarnations, designed with dancing in mind. –Matt Kelemen

Elegant Tastes The monstrous meatball at Martorano’s Italian restaurant is famous for its rich flavor and tender texture, paired with red sauce, ricotta cheese and a crisp salad of romaine, cucumber, onion and ripe tomato. A towering stack of crispy fried eggplant with mozzarella, tomato and arugula is another must-try bite. Martorano’s exclusively serves imported Rustichella d’Abruzzo pastas and always cooks them to al dente perfection, which

City’s latest nightlife option sparkles with top talent Just as precious as a gem, maybe, is a nightclub, which is probably why Hakkasan Group’s newest nightclub at Aria is named Jewel. The moment you step foot inside the intimate venue (as it roughly holds 2,000 patrons), you’ll be immersed into a luxe nightlife experience. The 24,000-square-foot, two-level space, designed by the Rockwell Group (which also designed Hakkasan Group’s mega club Omnia at Caesars Palace), features two distinct areas, the main club and the mezzanine level, fit for two different types of partygoers. On the main level, heading to the dance floor, you first have to pass through multiple tall, mirrored doors leading to the sleek nightclub, highlighted by the DJ booth and VIP booths with

burgundy leather upholstery. If you’re occupying one of the 50 VIP booths, you’ll be escorted through a tunnel of bronze arches, where an antique glass chandelier summons you through the alluring corridor. Jewel’s technology scheme is one of a kind, too, with massive, dual-sided LED video screens and state-of-the-art effects that light up the venue. The mezzanine level houses five VIP skybox suites: The Blind Tiger, The Studio, The G.O.A.T., The Gallery and The Prestige. Each of the skybox suites has its own entrance, its own décor and its own vibe (one gives off a sexy speakeasy feel while another is as top-notch as it gets, with champagne-hued, tufted walls and a brassbeaded chandelier). And the vantage point from
each skybox suite offers a great view of the main club down below. The mezzanine level also features a bar and separate dance floor, if you want to break away from the main club. Besides the nightclub’s aesthetics, Jewel sure knows how to pack a house with its stellar talent and DJ roster. Since opening earlier this year, the venue has welcomed celebs such as Drake, Jamie Foxx, The Chainsmokers, Lil Jon, Steve Aoki, Swizz Beatz and Steve Angello.

Culinary Dropout keeps gastropub concept buzzing By jason harris Photography by sabin orr
Soft pretzels and provolone fondue
44 8.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
nosh cheers Sure, it’s got a playful name. But the food at Culinary Dropout is seriously good. And under new head chef Joe Godell, that fun cuisine has gotten even better than before. In a way, the restaurant is a perfect representation of where it’s located—The Hard Rock Hotel—in that this is fun food for adults that gives one a sense of being a kid again. Charcuterie boards can be intimidating to diners who haven’t experienced them, but this version, which lets guests mix and match items, is a good introduction to that. The deviled eggs’ creamy yolks pair perfectly with crispy prosciutto on top; the salty meat sets off a touch of truffle. Another winner is pimento cheese and almonds. This cheesy spread, often called “the caviar of the South,” is filled with cheddar and cherry pepper goodness, a savory delight with the almonds adding a nice crunch to create what Culinary Dropout founder Sam Fox describes as his elevated version of Cheez-Its. The most popular appetizer may be soft pretzels and provolone fondue. The pillowy pretzel logs are presented simply with a sprinkle of salt, making them ideal vessels to soak up the gooey fondue. While dining on early Hard Rock Hotel courses, grab a Pistols At 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Dawn to wash it all down.

The ahi is seared quickly, keeping its gorgeous red center. Crunchy cashews add a welcome component. The ginger vinaigrette is both light and distinct, and wasabi peas tie the entire dish together. Main courses, like much of the menu, are riffs on American classics. One of the most unique items is the Korean-style ribeye cap, with the meat sliced thin and topped with an assortment of veggies like bean sprouts and zucchini. Everything pops with familiar Asian flavors— sambal, garlic, ginger, cilantro. While it’s pretty easy to get a good steak in Las Vegas, it can be harder to find something that stands out, and this dish—both in the way the meat is cut and in the taste—does.
Pistols at Dawn
Salted caramel custard
Fried chicken
No dinner at Culinary Dropout would be complete without the excellent fried chicken— crunchy skin on the outside, juicy meat inside. The addition of brown sugar to the marinade makes this a memorable iteration of a wellknown dish. That bit of sweetness is a nice gateway to dessert. Salted caramel custard delivers on both the caramel flavor, and the lovely accent of salt ups the whole shebang. Topped with caramel corn, it’s another texture and taste to play with. Bourbon black bottom pie features a chocolate ganache center that is both ooey and gooey, a perfect foil for the familiar graham cracker crust. The bourbon shines through, but at this point, one is likely to be more drunk on delicious food than anything else.

Caesars Palace day one employee looks back on 50 years Stories. Jim Dunbar has 50 years’ worth of stories. And, they all happened at Caesars Palace where Dunbar has been a valet since the resort opened on Aug. 5, 1966. Dunbar moved here from L.A. in 1942. “I lived in the first housing development in Vegas,” he said. When he was 14, he went with his dad to the Strip to see Spike Jones and the City Slickers and, “When I came out of the show I saw these guys parking all these cars and thought, ‘That looks fun and they’re making money.’ That’s what I want to do,’” Dunbar said. His first valet job was at the New Frontier. A few years later he was valet parking at Flamingo. “While I was working at Flamingo I was watching them build Caesars Palace; I knew that’s where I wanted to be next,” he said. He was hired the day before the property opened, and has worked in the valet area ever since.
46 8.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
“I really like to work,” said Dunbar, who doesn’t plan on retiring anytime soon. “I got two new knees last year and I’m out there back in the game.” And what a game it’s been—filled with exciting memories, Dunbar said. Like the one time he saw Frank Sinatra and his pals in the bathroom—they were laughing hysterically while washing whipped cream from their hair after a food fight. Dunbar’s parked cars for Jayne Mansfield, Joe DiMaggio, Ellen DeGeneres, Mickey Rooney, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr.—the list goes on. His stories go on. “I was offered to work other places, and I never wanted to leave,” Dunbar said. “I’m just impressed with Caesars. It started out small and all along the way it got better.” Dunbar has even etched his name in bricks and steel beams used to build the new towers. “It’s been exciting. Fifty years, it’s been exciting.” –Kiko Miyasato
The same year Caesars Palace opened, Jimi Hendrix sat down in his dressing room in London and penned his legendary song, “Purple Haze.” In honor of that song, and Caesars’ 50-year anniversary this month, the property created the Purple Haze, available at Lobby Bar, Montecristo Cigar Bar and Apostrophe Bar. It mixes together Absolut vodka, Chambord, lime juice and simple syrup. –KM

As Caesars Palace celebrates its 50th anniversary this month, Las Vegas Magazine chats with three cocktail servers— from different eras of the property’s history—as they share past and present memories of working at the iconic hotel.

hrough the hallowed halls of Caesars Palace float 50 years of stories; stories of visiting dignitaries and celebrities, high rollers and high society. It’s a hotel with a fascinating past, distinguished present and bright future. This month the property celebrates its golden anniversary—five decades passed since businessman and builder Jay Sarno opened the doors on Aug. 5, 1966. While structural changes have been made, the interior design redone and restaurants and lounges switched out, one of the treasures of Caesars Palace that remains is the cocktail server. When the hotel opened, the cocktail servers were referred to as goddesses. While the name might have changed over the decades, Caesars Palace’s 200 cocktail servers, made up of both new and longtime employees spread throughout the property, share a common bond over the memories, experiences and pride felt for being a part of such a long tradition. Las Vegas Magazine chatted with three of them—Sharron St. Clair, Lisa Exposito and Ashley Shumar—each from different decades, as they shared their cocktailserving stories.
Sharron St. Clair landed in Las Vegas as part of a performance troupe of acrobats from Sydney, Australia, commissioned to dance in the Casino de Paris show at The Dunes hotel. After four years of dancing in the show, St. Clair decided she wanted to be a cocktail server. After a stint at the Stardust serving cocktails, in 1975, she joined Caesars Palace. “I just knew that I had to work there,” said St. Clair, after visiting and falling in love with the property. Lisa Exposito can remember the first time she stepped foot inside Caesars Palace. “I was 14 years old and in town visiting my brother … and I can remember walking through Caesars Palace,” Exposito said. “And I remember saying, ‘I’m gonna be a goddess one day.’” Five years later, Exposito moved from her hometown of Sharon, Pa. By 1988, she was a Caesars Palace cocktail server. “The first time you put that (uniform) on, it was like being Wonder Woman. You had the gold belt, you had the headpiece on. You just felt like a superhero.” After five years working in the nightlife industry in Pittsburgh, Ashley Shumar turned her sights to Las Vegas, a city she knew was known for its nightlife. She landed in Vegas

Sharron St. Clair
Ashley Shumar
in 2014. The first place she applied? Caesars Palace. Just a few months after moving here she was on the Caesars Palace casino floor serving drinks. “I didn’t really know that much about the cocktail server history, the goddesses. But, seeing all the pictures from back in the day in the break room, all those pictures were so cool,”
Shumar said. “They were really considered goddesses; so crazy!”
Since 1963, Caesars has steadily welcomed generations of celebrities, from the Rat Pack to the Brat Pack, from A-list actors to Grammywinning singers.
“I was starstruck the whole time. We met everybody,” St. Clair remembered. “One of my favorites was Sammy Davis Jr., the mosthumble and wonderful, as well as the best ever, performer to ever grace a stage. Of course, there was Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, all those people, all the people who starred in the shows—we knew, we served. (I) was so lucky to be at the right place at the right time, with all that glamour.” For Exposito, one celebrity encounter remains dear to her heart. As a young girl, Exposito was a huge fan of Muhammad Ali and, in the early 1990s, she got to meet him while she was working a boxing match at Caesars. “I was working one of the fights, and you had to kneel to take the drink orders so the guests could see,” she recalled. “At the time (Ali) was sitting in the aisle, and I creeped up to kneel beside him. He looked down at me, and I said, ‘I’ve always loved you.’ He asked me if my legs hurt kneeling that long. He said I could sit on his lap. So, I sat on his lap! I held his face in my hands and said, ‘You’re so beautiful.’ And, it was just one of the most amazing moments of my life. He had such charisma. He was beautiful.” For Shumar, her encounter with a celebrity crush happened merely weeks ago. This sum-

mer Shumar is cocktail serving poolside at the adults-only Venus Pool Club. One of her VIP cabana guests just happened to be worldrenowned soccer player Cristiano Renaldo. “Normally I don’t get starstruck but he’s so handsome in person. So, I was kind of nervous and when he would ask me questions I would kinda of just stand there and stare at him because I couldn’t speak,” Shumar said, laughing. “He was super nice, though.”
While not as regular an occurrence today, parties were plentiful back in the day at Caesars Palace, as St. Clair and Exposito recalled. Both cocktail servers picked up extra shifts away from the casino floor and would lavish attention
54 8.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
on guests at private penthouse parties, conventions, sporting and special events. They also did modeling for Caesars publicity photos. “I did a lot of the publicity for Caesars when I first started,” St. Clair said. “And, I also worked many of the parties, some even out of town. One time I was in charge of taking some of the (cocktail servers) along with the costumed gladiators in a G3 to Joan Rivers’ party at Chasen’s in Beverly Hills. There was a wonderful dinner for us, and we waited on all the celebrities and then we boarded the plane and were back in Vegas by midnight. “Then, there were the parties in the penthouses for celebrities and high rollers—those were some parties, that’s all I can say.” St. Clair said with a giggle.
Exposito’s favorite parties to work were the famous toga parties, held inside the convention center. “They were great—they would happen once a year and all the guests would wear togas,” she said. “They would have elephants, they would carry Cleopatra—it was like watching a movie about Roman times. One entertainer after another, stars all night long.”
You can still spot St. Clair among guests in the main gaming pit, Exposito carrying drinks at Lobby Bar and Shumar tending to cabanas poolside, as each continues to uphold the long tradition of cocktail serving at Caesars Palace. “Every single person should come into Caesars, if just for the history. There’s something

genuine about Caesars compared to the other mega resorts,” Exposito said. “We’ve made it through with all these new hotels that have been built, and Caesars has kept up. There’s pride in that. We’re still a force.” St. Clair looks back fondly on her early days. “It wasn’t unusual for the stars to come in and lavish us with flowers; it was a fairy-tale experience,” she said. “We knew everyone—every star, every celebrity—we knew everything they drank, exactly where they wanted to sit. Service and glamour. The guests, without a doubt, have always been my favorite part of the job.” “I love that pretty much everyone knows what Caesars Palace is so we get guests from everywhere; and, it’s cool to interact with them and hear their stories” Shumar said. “Everyone works together—we just have so much fun at work. Management is great; we just have the best team all around.”
