NOTES
From the Editor Look Good, Feel Good
One of the most enjoyable—and free!— activities on the Las Vegas Strip is people-watching. We here at Las Vegas Magazine are big fans of the pastime, often pointing out in the pages of this magazine some of the best places for it. And what makes it so much fun to engage in? That’s easy—it’s what people are wearing (or, in the case of some, not wearing). Fashion is a huge part of the Las Vegas experience; anywhere you go, you’ll see eye-catching shirts, dresses, shoes, hats and, yes, even socks. Because let’s face it: For millions of our visitors, part of being here is making a fashion statement. Many of you hit the ground running to the nearest retail mecca as soon as your plane touches down; many of you may not be sure where to start. Which is why this week’s issue is an invaluable resource! As those summer temperatures begin to significantly dip, you’ll find plenty of great looks at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort. We’ve highlighted some for you in this week’s cover feature (“Cool World,” p. 30). We’re pretty sure you’ll fall in love with what you find there. As soon as you achieve the look you’re going for, it’s time to enjoy the Strip in style. Start with some live music—you’ve got a head-spinning array to choose from this week, from music’s biggest acts at both
the Life is Beautiful festival downtown (“A Celebration of Everything,” p. 11) and the iHeartRadio Music Festival at both T-Mobile Arena and Area15 (“Sound Surge,” p. 38). Are you here to celebrate Mexican Independence Day? Check out our lineup of the concerts planned to help get you in a festive mood (“Viva Mexico!” p. 16). The live entertainment options also include the stand-up of both comedic giant Nikki Glaser at The Mirage (“Top of Her Game,” p. 36) and Eddie Griffin at Sahara Las Vegas (“Comedy Without Limits,” p. 8), the return of Cirque du Soleil’s incredible Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay (“HIStory Lesson,” p. 13), and the crazy-good sleight-of-hand of illusionist Mat Franco at The Linq Hotel (“Technique to Spare,” p. 17). Make sure to keep yourself well-fed during all that activity. You’ll find plenty to satisfy at Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse at Golden Nugget (“Old-School Cool,” p. 24), Top of the World at The STRAT (“Taste Sensations,” p. 12), Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace (“British Bites,” p. 10) and Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres at Sahara Las Vegas (“Surprises Abound,” p. 17). However you choose to enjoy Las Vegas, just remember: This is the ultimate escape from reality. Dress how you want to dress! We won’t judge you—but we will look.

the way they climbed the Capitol walls.” A longtime Vegas resident, Griffin has maintained a residency for years at the Rio and then SLS Las Vegas, which transformed into the Sahara in late 2019 but wisely held onto their in-house comedy star. –Brock Radke

British Bites Gordon Ramsay Pub is a mix of comfortable and lively, as the restaurant is located right in the heart of the casino-floor action. Beer fans will love the fact that there are dozens of beers on tap and more than 60 different labels of bottled beer. Enjoy a pint or two (or three!) of favorites like Stella Artois, Dogfish Head, Innis & Gunn, Guinness, Samuel Adams, Angry Orchard and Boddingtons. Food here is the main attraction, though, and of course, guests can consume Ramsay’s signature dish—the roasted beef Wellington. But try the master chef’s pub-inspired creations like the popular fish and chips, onion and ale soup, crispy chicken paillard and the grilled pub burger. It’s a starter, but deserves the entrée spotlight—the short rib kettle chip nachos are served with English cheddar sauce, pickled peppers and sour cream. This is one British dish that gives the Mexican-food favorite a run for its money. End the meal with Ramsay’s classic sticky toffee pudding served with a side of vanilla ice cream. Or you can opt for the chocolate brownie topped with pretzel chips and salted peanut ice cream. Uh, yum! –Kiko Miyasato Caesars Palace, 702.731.7410
Let Your Mind Wander If you’re looking for a way to take your mind off things for a while, a roller coaster might be your best bet, and there’s no better place for such thrills than the Big Apple Coaster. But first, you’ll have to prepare your mind, and your stomach, for what’s about to go down. The coaster starts with two huge drops, which lead into twists and loops alongside the faux Manhattan skyline. One such loop is the heartline twist and dive

And if the coaster isn’t enough entertainment for you, head over to the Big Apple arcade to play some old-fashioned games like Skee-ball, foosball, air hockey, and more. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff New York-New York, 702.740.6969
Do Your Body Good It’s still pool season in Las Vegas, so for the ladies out there putting on those bathing suits, make sure you’re landscaped properly by stopping into Spa Mandalay and getting the Bikini and Beyond wax. For the dudes there’s also chest, abdomen and back wax options. And to fight the harsh summer sun, keep your skin glowing, hydrated and supple with the Vitamin C Facial—a 50-minute oxygenating treatment that promotes brilliant skin. The spa also offers massage and nail services. –KM Mandalay Bay, 702.632.7220

Taste Sensations At Top of the World, a whole slew of new dishes have brightened up the traditional steakhouse fare at this lush, plush environment with the most unique views in Vegas. A new Prime beef tartare surf and turf comes with shrimp, avocado and smoked tomato gazpacho; and it’s actually gluten-free if you have that sensitivity. The spring pea ravioli is suitable for vegetarians, with ricotta salata, preserved lemon and toasted breadcrumbs. If you like Korean flavors, the Prime kalbi short ribs with a Korean chili and short rib glaze will have you drooling. Other excellent new options for the seafood lover include the stuffed roasted lobster tail (with king crab), or grilled Icelandic salmon, with a spring ratatouille. The 25-year aged balsamic is a wonderful addition. Seared seabass is simply served with garlic, lemon and brown butter. And seared ahi tuna comes with smoked clams. Desserts include hummingbird cake, a dish of bananas, pineapple, pecans, cinnamon and nutmeg, with a cream cheese frosting, white chocolate ganache and cinnamon ice cream (another item made in-house). –Nina King The STRAT, 702.380.7711

HIStory Lesson
Cirque production celebrates the life of a musical icon During his lifetime, Michael Jackson exuded a childlike wonder, an attitude that proved infectious for his millions of fans. That same sense of wonder pervades each and every second of Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay, a celebration of The Gloved One’s music, legacy, philosophy and persona, achieved through a combination of dance, acrobatics, special effects, comic performances and, especially, music. The show is a series of vignettes tied together loosely by four young “misfits” who are pursued by baddies as they attempt to “save” Jackson’s music, rushing in and out of segments, sometimes participating in the activity onstage, from

bungee acrobatics during “Beat It” to some hilarious pantomime as Jackson’s glove seemingly comes to life during “Working Day and Night.” Elsewhere, there’s so much to look at and enjoy while looking forward to the next Jackson number—from dancers who come to electric life through the use of LED costumes during “Billie Jean” and trampoline artists who appear to defy gravity during “Thriller” to incredibly synchronized dance routines to both “They Don’t Care About Us” and “Smooth Criminal” (And, yes, that famous “lean” makes an appearance during the latter song, and yes, it’s electrifying.) Sprinkled through these bits are pictures of Jackson throughout the various stages of his life
and career, coupled with the music he was performing at the time—“I’ll Be There” as a member of the famed Jackson 5 is particularly affecting—and profound words he had for the world. The action climaxes in an amazing hologram sequence, with Jackson appearing alongside the misfits for a performance of “Man in the Mirror,” disappearing at key moments and reappearing at others; it’s a sobering reminder that Jackson is no longer with us, but the entire production is a reminder that the impact of his music will continue to touch and inspire generations of fans. –Ken Miller Mandalay Bay, 702.632.7580

Coastal Creations Fresh, savory and sensational southern Italian coastal cuisine shines at Osteria Costa. The casually cool spot is reminiscent of quaint villages along Italy’s coasts and the food is a reflection of the rustic traditions of simple yet flavor-filled recipes. Perfect examples include house-made pasta favorites like the linguine and clams tossed with garlic, chiles and lemon and the shrimp linguine with white wine and lemon. Other from-the-sea creations include salmon piccata with lemon and capers, and grilled branzino, a nice piece of Mediterranean sea bass cooked in lemon and oregano. Land options include an 18-ounce grilled bone-in ribeye and an Italian roast pork chop; or guests can go classic with chicken Parm, spaghetti and meatballs, or meat lasagna. For a lighter meal, think about sharing some plates with your dining guests, like the calamari and the crispy and delicious fried mozzarella. Then order up one of the wood-fired pizzas like the popular spicy Calabrian with salami, chilis and touches of honey. Veggie lovers can enjoy a mushroom pie with ricotta and fontina cheeses or keep it simple yet sensational with the margherita. –Kiko Miyasato

Viva Mexico!
Holiday celebrations bring in international acts Mexican Independence Day is officially on Sept. 16, but the entire week will be a celebration of the holiday, with some of the hottest Mexican music acts hitting the Strip to help commemorate the occasion. He’s only been part of the music scene for a few years, but Christian Nodal, who performs at Planet Hollywood’s Zappos Theater on Sept. 14, has made a significant impact in a short time, winning three Latin Grammy Awards, two Billboard Latin Music Awards and a Latin American Music Award. His 2017 single “Adios Amor” reached No. 1 on the Top 20 General Mexican Songs Chart, and No. 2 on the Billboard Top Latin Songs Chart. He’s already released three

albums, Me Dejé Llevar, Ahora and AYAYAY!, all of which are certified at least gold (his first two reached platinum). Alejandro Fernández, who appears at MGM Grand on Sept. 15-16, was born into a life of music (his father is ranchera legend Vincente Fernández), and has been performing since the age of 5. Since releasing his first album in 1992, he’s branched out from traditional Mexican music into mainstream pop, and has collaborated with everyone from Rod Stewart and Placido Domingo to Christina Aguilera and Beyoncé. He’s also become one of the best-selling Latin music artists of all time, selling more than 20 million albums worldwide.
Fans of Mexican pop will enjoy Camila, which performs at Tropicana Las Vegas on Sept. 18. Formed in 2005, the duo of Mario Domm and Pablo Hurtado has been pumping out hits like “Abrázame,” “Coleccionista de Canciones,” “Todo Cambio” and “Mientes,” collecting three Latin Grammy Awards and three Billboard Awards in the process. Bronco’s performance at Mandalay Bay Beach on Sept. 18 is part of the property’s ongoing Concerts on the Beach series. The grupero band is entering its fifth decade of entertaining fans with its mixture of melodic pop, regional Mexican music and elaborate jumpsuits while performing. –Ken Miller

Technique to Spare Mat Franco had plenty of time to reimagine his successful Las Vegas Strip show during the pandemic shutdown, and the results are nothing less than his fans would expect. In a way, it makes perfect sense that Franco would be tweaking his show—after all, his show is called Magic Reinvented Nightly, a name that comes from a signature illusion Franco performs, using information he obtains from audience members during the course of each show. No matter how many times you see Franco’s show, each one will be different, thanks to this illusion. The new additions, like everything else Franco does, will have you scratching your head. One involves a poker table, four volunteers and some serious sleight-of-hand; another involves a helium-filled balloon that somehow “switches” with another balloon filled with just air. If you find yourself asking “huh?” over and over, you won’t be alone. One segment that’s likely to always be in Franco’s show comes midway through: He begins producing cards from thin air, demonstrating why he’s easily one of the greatest close-up magicians in the world. –Ken Miller The Linq Hotel, 702.777.2782

You can opt for a Salt Air margarita, featuring Milagro tequila, Combier and lime, all topped with … salt air.

Say hello to Mr. Life of the Party You know how there’s that one guy in the group who’s always the life of the party? You’re looking at him: Donnie Fox, head of customer development for Money, Baby! at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. “I’ve always been that guy where people look at me and are like, ‘What’s wrong with this guy?’ Then they get to know me and they’re like, ‘Wow, this guy is awesome!’” says Fox. Born and raised in Las Vegas, Fox knows this city through and through, and he’s a 15-year veteran of the nightlife industry, working at almost every top nightclub and dayclub in the city. He even spent a few years working in the L.A. scene. “I’m always out and about,” he says. “Ya know—out there shaking hands and kissing babies.” If you haven’t noticed yet, Fox not only is a ball of good energy, but a jokester, too. “You can put me in a toilet, and I’ll make a good time out of it,” he says, laughing. It’s all this personality that helps fuel his job at Money, Baby! Essentially, it’s Fox’s responsi-
bility to bring the party to the hybrid nightclubmeets-sports bar-meets lounge. He brings in new business, makes sure the crowd is always having fun—“You can find me on the dance floor, taking shots with people, on the mic,” he says—and spreading the positive party vibes. “I’ve always been an entertainer since I was a kid,” Fox says. “I like being around people. I’ve always thought if you can still laugh in life, life is going to be OK. And if I can bring that to the people, it makes me happy. People know that I’m always going to show them a good time.” Fox has had a lot of good times over his career. “But out of the 15 years of my nightlife career, this is the favorite position I’ve had,” he says. “Money, Baby! encompasses everything that Vegas didn’t have. Nightlife? You can do it here. Want to have a fun night having drinks with friends? Do it here. Watch games during the day? Here, you can do all this.” And Fox is ready to welcome you. –Kiko Miyasato

Bourbon flight
A Swinging Good Time
Modern speakeasy offers fun, music and darn good spirits A night full of fancy and fun awaits at 1923 Prohibition Bar, a semi-secret, sexy lounge serving up classic cocktails. The entrance is through a very nondescript bookcase, and once inside, guests are transported back in time to the Prohibition era in American history. “I think we kinda stuck to the hardcore Prohibition era,” said owner Noel Bowman. “We’ve got the barrels; we’ve got a lot of the Gatsby-type décor. We’ve kinda stayed true to that 1920s era. Wallpaper and art are from that era, chandeliers, Tommy guns, I’ve stayed pretty authentic with it. We call 1923 a modern speakeasy. While our look is somewhat authentic, we certainly have the classic drinks, but we’re toying around with some new, modern mixology.”
.22. 9.12.21 LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE
Standout specialty cocktails, many created by lead mixologist Devon Bennett, include highlights like the series of Old-Fashioneds, including butter pecan, peanut butter and jelly or maple bacon. Other classics include the Sazerac, mint julep or, for some spice, the Tajín Templeton. What’s more Prohibition era than bourbon? At 1923, you’ll find some of the best labels behind the bar. Order the bourbon flight with four selections: Buffalo Trace, Bulleit, Angel’s Envy and Angel’s Envy rye. If you’re really into the brown spirit (or are curious to learn), think about taking one of 1923’s bourbon tasting classes (tickets available on the website).

Prohibition. You can choose from three different tasting tiers—standard, elite and vault. The vault tier offers the most hard-to-find bottles, including Little Book, Horse Soldier, Blanton’s and Jefferson’s Ocean. Think about getting dressed in your best 1920s-style garb and hitting up the lounge on Friday and Saturday nights for New Orleans-inspired cocktails and live music by Troy Romzek. “I think in the 1920s during Prohibition, it was a period of real growth. I like celebrating bourbon and I love celebrating our country,” Bowman said. “Let’s get back to life—let’s start living again.” –Kiko Miyasato The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702.740.5800 or 1923lv.com

accented with pickled beech mushrooms and olive oil. A particular highlight here is the pepper-crusted roasted bacon, so decadent with bourbon barrel maple syrup and a root beer glaze. Who’s ready for a steak? You can go traditional at Vic & Anthony’s with a 40-ounce tomahawk, prime ribeye or porterhouse, but for that next-level experience, definitely check out the A5 program, including the A5 Kobe Hyogo Prefecture (100% Tajima Kobe beef) or the A5 Japanese wagyu filet mignon. You may never look at steaks the same way again. Other entrees are certainly equally deserving of your attention, including fried lobster mac and cheese, piled high with 5 ounces of lobster tail and a lobster cheese sauce. There’s also a superb lamb chop, pan-roasted chicken and roasted salmon. Do not make the mistake of avoiding dessert here. Once you see the restaurant’s In the Round arrive at your table, you’ll forget how full you are. It’s a large chocolate sphere over which hot caramel sauce is poured, melting away the chocolate and revealing a sweet treat inside.

Are you ready for some football food in Vegas? Las Vegas was a big-time football city well before the NFL came to town.

130,000-square-foot space will feature plenty of entertainment and activities ranging from betting suites to special appearances from pro sports stars, but it’s also all about the food and will feature bites from various restaurants, including: International Smoke (702.891.3922), the global barbecue-themed collaboration from chef Michael Mina and food personality Ayesha Curry at MGM Grand; Diablo’s Cantina (702.262.5225), the Mexican Strip fave with locations at Luxor and The Mirage; Luxor’s versatile tavern Public House (702.262.4525); and The Park’s pre- and post-game hot spot Beerhaus (702.692.2337). As amazing as it is to have all this incredible food in one place, it should be noted these venues will still be open for business, and fun, all week long. Tailgate Social (702.221.6513), known as the ultimate sports bar destination at Palace Station, will be broadcasting games on 30 high-definition screens while giving away tickets and other prizes during raffles and contests. Most importantly, Tailgate will be rolling out a special Raiders home game menu with addictive dishes such as crab cakes, Cuban sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, Philly cheesesteaks, carne asada tacos and much more. Back on the Strip, find one of the most unique game experiences at Caesars Sportsbook (886.733.5827) at The Linq Hotel, where groups can secure a private “Fan Cave” lounge to cheer on the team while betting, playing games online and indulging in special drink packages. The best part: The grub at this book comes from nearby Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar (702.794.3139). You don’t have to leave your seat to nosh on jalapeño pig poppers, Trash Can Nachos (pictured) or sriracha chicken wings. Of course, football food in Las Vegas doesn’t get more official than the Raiders Tavern & Grill (877.673.7678) at the M Resort south of the Strip. The 3,400-square-foot space is decorated in team memorabilia and features two bars, 45 HDTVs and a greatest hits menu ranging from beef sliders and shrimp cocktails to St. Louis ribs and stone-fired pizzas. Stick around for a wild late-night menu starting at midnight with everything from a classic breakfast to the mighty Tavern Cheeseburger. Make your way to one of these delicious destinations and you’ll see how with a little extra Vegas, football has never been more fun, or tasty. –Brock Radke

Nikki Glaser is really putting herself out there Nikki Glaser has significantly added to her résumé over the last year, launching a new daily podcast on Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players network on iHeartRadio in March, hosting the first-ever MTV Movie & TV Awards in May and hosting and executive- producing buzzy new HBO Max reality show FBoy Island. She also started a new comedy tour to kick off the summer, and hits The Mirage on Sept. 17 as part of the Aces of Comedy series. How does it feel to be back in Las Vegas again? I love performing in Vegas because even though a lot of locals come to shows, it’s such a great mixture of people from all over. You don’t have to cater the set to a certain type of people, you can just be yourself. And it’s so cool to be a Vegas act right now because I worked in the clubs forever where I was just one of the comedians on the bill, thankful

to get a couple hundred bucks for the weekend and stay at the hotel and eat at the casino cafeteria. This time they might fulfill my entire rider and have a vegan smorgasbord for me before I go onstage. But I love The Mirage, and it’s really a mile marker in my career to be performing there. Is the material for this show pretty structured, or will it be more spontaneous? This whole tour I’ve been building the act and figuring out what it is I want to say, and it’s all leading to a special taping I’m doing in November. I’m someone who really develops the material onstage, and this show is perfect timing because there is the right amount of flying by the seat of my pants, but I know where the the jokes are. It’s not too regimented, but I know what I want to say and I know the jokes I do have are great, so any that come up in the moment—which is inevitable in Vegas

because everyone is processing their surroundings and reacting to how different everything is—will be cool because I’m at a point where I can trust myself to play with the audience and go off on tangents. Doing a daily podcast seems like such a grind. What’s your secret to keeping things fresh and funny? I’ve always loved listening to the radio and always idolized people like Howard Stern and Adam Carolla, people you feel super connected to because you listen to their voice every day, and I knew that was a medium I wanted to sink my teeth into and hone a talent for. I just know as a consumer of the kind of (content) I wanted to make, I wanted to do a daily thing and I also want to get those 10,000 hours. Once I clock those, I’ll be an expert and undeniably good. I don’t get nervous before I go onstage or do a podcast anymore. My job rarely stresses me out and I’ve worked very hard to get to that point where it feels like second nature. Hosting a reality show was something new and different for you. Why do you think FBoy Island has been such a success? In terms of television, I’ve never been so trusted to be me and not have someone tell me what to do. There were no notes. It was, “We know what you are and we like it.” So I felt really comfortable developing a new style of hosting a reality TV show in which I make fun of the genre and the tropes and how ridiculous it all is while also being very sincerely invested in the relationships that develop. I love watching people fall in love and I believe that it’s real and it was confirmed for me on the show. And I have a deep respect for the people willing to go on a show like that. There’s an inherent bravery in putting yourself out there that much.

Music’s biggest acts converge on Vegas for iHeartRadio festival By Brock Radke While the music industry saw quite a bit of innovation and productivity during the challenging times of 2020 and 2021, the radio industry faced undeniable challenges as the number of drivers on American roads declined and listenership slowly climbed back to stability. Advertising budgets were cut and layoffs were common, but demand remained steady and is rising again as more musical content recharges radio stations across the country.

9.12.21
LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE
That surge is one reason all eyes will be on Las Vegas—specifically T-Mobile Arena and the versatile Area15 venue—this week when the iHeartRadio Music Festival returns on Sept. 17-18. The festival is one of the marquee events for the broadcast, podcast and streaming radio platform owned by New York-based iHeartMedia. And just as it did before the pandemic, this two-day concert will feature the biggest names in pop, rock, country, hiphop, alternative and every other musical genre you can imagine, finally coming together to perform live for the first time in a long time. By itself, the first-day lineup is an impressive roster of legends and stars. Taking the stage at T-Mobile on Sept. 17 will be power-pop favorites Cheap Trick, English dance diva Dua Lipa, country duo Florida Georgia Line, influential rapper J. Cole, L.A. pop rock outfit Maroon 5, Southern
hip-hop hitmaker Nelly, and resilient alt-rock band Weezer. Singer-songwriter Finneas, sibling of second-day star Billie Eilish, is scheduled for a special guest performance. For the first time, the iHeart daytime stage will take up resi-
dency at Area15 just west of the Strip, and once again serve as a showcase for the fastest-rising stars in pop music. “Driver’s License” chart-buster Olivia Rodrigo could shine brightest on Sept. 18 during this day-long session, but performances will also come
from Justin Bieber collaborator The Kid Laroi, hip-hop star and one-time Daylight Beach Club resident artist Saweetie, Maryland rock band All Time Low, English singer Yungblud, social media darling and singer Addison Rae and many more up-and-comers. That night, it’s time to go back to T-Mobile for sets from Georgia country-pop performer Sam Hunt, hit-making rapper Lil Baby, R&B superstar Khalid, classic rockers Journey (which return for a new residency show at the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in December), British arena rockers Coldplay, and the inimitable Eilish, a newage pop star who’s also headlining the Life is Beautiful festival in downtown Las Vegas the very same weekend (see page 11). This is a collection of artists that could only reunite at this unique, only-in-Vegas musical spectacular, a weekend that will go down as one of the biggest events of 2021.

Explore these hot spots to eat, drink and be merry By Kiko Miyasato When the Flamingo opened in 1946, it was a grand, three-day affair with celebrities and elite coming to Las Vegas to enjoy the most lavish casino-resort in the city.

girls, mobsters, movies stars and more— then the Flamingo is a must visit. While the hotel and casino has been upgraded since its inception—it’s currently the oldest operating casino-hotel on the Las Vegas Strip—you can still feel the history
It’s no secret that RuPaul’s Drag Race has become a powerhouse hit TV show—with everyone from family and friends to boyz and gurls sharing in the joy of watching the competition show. Luckily for Las Vegas visitors, the Flamingo houses the first-ever RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! production show starring many of the show’s favorite drag stars. While the show is a definite hot

spot, true fans will want to stop into The Werk Room. It’s a shopping destination absolutely filled with all things Drag Race and RuPaul. Shop show merchandise in addition to Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics, apparel with Mama Ru’s most famous sayings from the show, gifts and even RuPaul-branded chocolate bars.
Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse
Remember how we mentioned the Flamingo’s mob history? Well, relive it, in a way, with the kitschy entrance to the sophisticated restaurant Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse. While the venue is beautifully designed with various themed rooms for dining, one of the coolest features is how to get into the restaurant. You’ll come across a storefront and, inside, a “fake bakery.” The host will have to guide you through secret doors and pathways to get into the restaurant—all this reminiscent of how the mob once entered establishments. Menu highlights include the gorgeous premium seafood tower, a curated collection of dry- and wet-aged steaks, wagyu braised short ribs
Bird Bar
and a decadent chocolate banana dessert with layers of banana bread, devil’s food cake and milk chocolate mousse. Don’t miss the restaurant’s speakeasy—The Count Room where period décor pairs with handcrafted cocktails.
While Flamingo has watering holes aplenty, we suggest stopping by Bird Bar. It’s an awesome spot for people watching, as the spacious outdoor patio sits right on Las Vegas Boulevard South—so plenty of that Sin City foot traffic. It’s also a fun spot for groups that want to get down with some beer pong—multiple tables just beg for a friendly match. Sip on daily specials like buckets of five beers staring at $35. You can also get daiquiris and margaritas for $10 and $12, respectively, and $12 signature cocktails in an upgraded souvenir Flamingo yard cup for $26.

David Copperfield brings past to present in a dramatic, powerful way It seems hard to imagine, but David Copperfield is entering his fifth decade of amazing audiences with his larger-than-life illusions. And he’s entering his third decade as one of the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic entertainers. When the staff of Las Vegas Magazine met to launch its own Hall of Fame in 2020, the choices for the inaugural class were much-debated … except for one name. When it comes to magic, Copperfield has redefined what’s possible—and what’s seemingly impossible! A huge part of what makes an act successful in Las Vegas is its ties to the past. The memories we grow up with strongly determine what sells tickets today. It’s the reason heavy metal acts and hair bands from the 1980s are selling out

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE
arenas, and it’s also the reason Donny & Marie and Wayne Newton packed theaters during their Las Vegas runs. And no matter your opinions of magic (it appears to divide most groups straight down the middle), odds are you have fond memories of at least one of Copperfield’s television specials or feats through the years—walking through the Great Wall of China in 1986, escaping from Alcatraz prison in 1987, and surviving a fall over Niagara Falls in 1990, just for starters. You’ll have a pretty good idea of the amazing experience you’re in for as you line up for David Copperfield’s show. Outside the theater there are plenty of attention-grabbing visuals: A large engraved plaque from the Society of American Magicians dubbing Copperfield the Magician of the Century, as well as a secondary title: “Forever to be known as the King of Magic”; a statue of “Blu Alien,” one of the characters you’ll see later in the show; and a bust of Copperfield, below which swirl an assortment of images, including the Statue of Liberty, a nod to his famous 1983 illusion in which he made the New York City landmark disappear before millions of fascinated viewers. If you haven’t yet been to a Copperfield show, know this: The illusions are sensation-
al. They’re not just immensely visual, with lots of lights and dramatic music, they’re often downright emotionally powerful. As much commitment as Copperfield has to his craft, he’s got just as much passion about his past. In bringing his childhood to life, Copperfield enlists the aid of several “assistants,” including the alien mentioned previously and a dinosaur named “Frank.” We know, we know … it sounds corny, right? But don’t be the least bit surprised when you find a lump in the back of your throat as the illusion unfolds. There are moments during a Copperfield show when you stop thinking about how he does any of the amazing things he does and just ... accept them. Call it believing, call it what you will—it all feels tangibly real. But mixed in with all this is a genuine sense of fun. Copperfield is very aware of his legend looming large, and takes plenty of potshots at it, keeping the audience laughing and relaxed. As great as your memories of Copperfield have been over the years, get ready for a whole new set after seeing this show.
