"O: The Most Lavish of Operas" |
3600 S Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89109 United States +1 888 488 7111 / +1 702 693 7722 http://bellagio.com |
Las Vegas is rapidly becoming an occupied colony of Cirque du Soleil. With blow-out productions like KA at MGM Grand, Zumanity at New York New York, and Mystere at Treasure Island, Las Vegas visitors can catch breathtaking Cirque action at points up and down the Strip. O at Bellagio is arguably the most elegant of the Cirque productions. Theatrics take place in an aquatic setting above, on, and below a serene pond custom designed to meet the unique demands of the artists. Audiences truly enjoy the direct interaction with the fun cast, in typical Cirque behavior, where the actors make everyone part of the show. Every seat in the 1800 seat O showroom is a good one. But if you sit too close to the stage you may need an umbrella! Synchronized swimmers, aerialists, divers and clowns keep this 100+ minute show very exhilarating. The expert divers are reminiscent of human fireworks, and there is one unbelievable scene where there is a "human" fire! The sights, sounds and smell of O make this a must-see attraction.

Young Go-getters Take Over Sports Bar |
2240, Village Walk Drive Las Vegas, NV 89052 United States +1 702 320 5870 http://www.alsgarage.com/bar.htm |
Visitors will find a typical, friendly, sports-themed watering hole at Al's Garage, a place to grab a burger and fries with a few brews and maybe catch the game or drop a few bucks on video poker. But the local regulars know Al's secrets, such as the fact that the cozy patio is a great spot to meet and mingle with young professionals from the area who seek a casual retreat, especially on Thursday nights when a fun crowd packs the house. And though the standard bar grub menu is painted on the wall, you can order from the upscale tavern next door, Kennedy, since the restaurants share a kitchen. -Brock Radke Review © 2009, Wcities |

Steve Martorano is a big guy with muscles and tattoos. And he can cook up some mean Italian food. His vision: "Part restaurant. Part nightclub. All Italian." The music is loud, ranging from Frank Sinatra in the early evening to Hip Hop and R&B late at night. It's not unusual for people to dance in the aisles, or even on top of their tables. There is no menu. Instead, a waiter rattles off that day's list of about dozen entrées, but the servings are large and meant for sharing. This is a hugely popular attraction at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, with the prices to go with it, so reservations are highly recommended. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Good entertainment beyond the bright lights of casinos is not that hard to find in Sin City after all. The Clark County Government Center, located in the metropolitan area of Las Vegas, sports a spacious amphitheater that sits pretty amid rolling greens and historic-looking, sandstone structures. Host to a gamut of concerts, shows and performances from rock to classical music and jazz to symphonies, the arena is a lovely spot to catch some cultural action. The complex is a favorite among touring bands, who look to gather a fan following. The Nevada Chamber Symphony's 'Jazz in the Park' concert series is an annual fixture here, between May and October. Stroll out into the lawns for a break or a family picnic, after a vibrant session within the 2500-seat arena.

Classic Booze, Refreshing Entertainment |
3035, East Tropicana Boulevard Las Vegas, NV 89121 United States +1 702 435-7526 http://www.vegasdivebar.com |
It bills itself as the King of Bars, and while Divebar is an above-average, occasionally rowdy watering hole (and not a dive at all) that also offers decent sandwiches and steaks, its main contribution to the local tavern scene is a weekly schedule chock full of interesting, often eccentric entertainment. Rock or punk bands are the norm, but Monday is saved for an open mic night that defies the term- the entertainment is actually of high quality, hosted by a talented acoustic duo, and featuring a small group of regulars that play all types of music. But if you're just coming to imbibe, catch the Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 4 to 8 p.m., including $3 shots of Pirate's Blood. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Bugsy Siegel once owned a piece of this property before building the Flamingo Hotel on the Strip. This structure retains much of its original look and atmosphere from the early 1940s.

Since the Fremont Street Experience was built, this hotel is in a very good location, just a short block from the entrance. Review © 2009, Wcities |

The oldest existing Vegas hotel |
1 Fremont St Las Vegas, NV 89101 United States +1 702 385 1906 / +1 800 426 1906 http://www.goldengatecasino.net |
This spot was recently added to the list of historical places in Nevada, as well it should. It was the first hotel (still in existence) to be built in Las Vegas, and it is still going strong. In the 1950s a "modern" facade was added, which remained until the inauguration of the Fremont Street Experience. Then the hotel was restored to its original charming appearance (circa 1930s), replete with flower boxes at the windows. A piano bar is situated next to the Shrimp Cocktail Deli, which still serves up 99-cent shrimp cocktails. Review © 2009, Wcities |

The design of the theater ensures that everyone has the best seat in the house. State-of-the-art acoustics provide dreamlike surround sound, with special speakers embedded in each of the ultra cozy and comfy seats.

Cirque du Soleil is one of the most recognizable entertainment brands in the world. Any production is guaranteed to deliver thrills and chills like nothing else you will ever see.

Non-Neon Culture in Las Vegas |
4505 South Maryland Parkway Artemis W. Ham Hall Las Vegas, NV 89109 United States +1 702 258 5438 http://www.lasvegasphilharmoni... |
Las Vegas Philharmonic concerts have been sell-outs since its formation in 1998, proving that The Entertainment Capital of the World is more than casinos and neon. Setting for regular season concerts is Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall on the University of Nevada – Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. General seating and reserved tickets are available (the family tickets are a good buy). The Philharmonic also accompanies headliners, such as Andrea Bocelli, when they appear in casino showrooms and other venues around town. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Straight from Hollywood to the Rio, Lucky Strike Lanes brings a new mood to bowling: it's still fun and laid-back, but now it's cool, compliments of signature cocktails, optional bottle service and a menu perfect for the kid in you (don't miss the fried mac-and-cheese bites).

What started out as the "Bingo Palace" in the 1970s, blossomed into the flagship of the Station Casino properties, eventually being replaced by Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa. Rooms are spacious and highly affordable, if a bit inconvenient from the action on the Strip. Famous for their excellent Feast Buffet, with carving and omelet stations, the hotel offers a variety of dining choices, from gourmet to fast food. They have kept the gigantic bingo parlor and remodeled and enlarged their casino over the years, so it's state-of-the art. The on-premise Laugh Trax nightclub offers great comedy shows each evening.

Love Unmasked |
3355 South Las Vegas Boulevard Venetian Resort Hotel Casino Las Vegas, NV 89109 United States 1-702-414-9000. http://www.phantomlasvegas.com/ |
Andrew Lloyd Webber seems to have the Midas touch, which certainly continues with the Las Vegas production of his monumental musical Phantom of the Opera, one of the longest running shows in the history of Broadway, that has finally migrated out to 'The Strip' as the resident production at the Venetian Resort & Casino. Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a disfigured musical genius who haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House. From the time you step foot in the magnificent theater, the show transports you back into the late nineteenth century. The show begins with the Phantom tutoring a beautiful understudy by putting her under his spell as he wages a reign of terror over the new owners, and anyone else that does not obey his orders. This version of the long running Broadway play has unique operaesque vocals backed by a powerful 19-piece orchestra. The costuming and sets are every bit as extravagant and lavish as one would expect from a Las Vegas show. And to the complete delight of the audience, no corners are cut and no dime is spared. The beautiful $40 million Phantom of the Opera showroom - complete with breathtaking 'floating chandelier' - seats 1800 guests, every one with a good view of this 95-minute extravaganza. The show, abbreviated for the restless Las Vegas traveler, is directed by original director Hal Prince, and still maintains the complete storyline. Every song also remains intact. This retelling of the Beauty and the Beast myth has proved irresistible to audiences. Phantom of the Opera is the most successful theatrical endeavor of all time and has grossed more than $3 billion worldwide since its London premiere in 1986. Suitable for all ages and delightful for everyone! This is a must see while in Las Vegas!

This hotel is located at "the beginning" of the Fremont Street Experience, on the site of the old Union Railroad Depot.

The Center Stage Restaurant, on top of the porte cochere and overlooking Fremont Street, is another landmark and excellent eatery with an amazing view. Review © 2009, Wcities |
