Best Party Patio: Chateau Nightclub & Gardens
December 20th, 2012
We’re suckers for attention to detail. Stepping out of the elevator and onto the outdoor patio at Chateau has a way of transporting you to a world beyond the neon, while still feeding off its energy. Read more »

Beef Wellington has undone many a Hell’s Kitchen contestant; the latest winner shares her secret
November 22nd, 2012
Patience does not run strong in chefs, says Christina Wilson. That’s clear in her as she strides across the Gordon Ramsay Steak dining room at Paris Las Vegas as if her kitchen is on fire. She landed the chef de cuisine job after surviving—er, winning the Hell’s Kitchen reality show. Read more »

Falling for You
November 8th, 2012
Palm fronds don’t turn. They don’t deliver the brilliant riot of fall colors many of Las Vegas’ transplants and tourists have experienced in autumns past, the ones that signal the careful raking—and subsequent, exuberant annihilation—of leaf piles, followed by coming home chilled to the bone for a mug of hot cider or a warm slice of pie, fresh from the oven. Nope, palm fronds don’t turn. Read more »
Diner's Notebook
Our Public Houses, General faux chicken, and the Olympics of Hunger Games
November 1st, 2012
If you’re still a bit confused by the fact that there is a restaurant called Public House at Luxor, it’s understandable. After all, there is another restaurant by the same name at the Venetian, and there is no relationship between the two. Read more »

Gordon Ramsay Steak

Fried Blue Pointe Oysters, Gordon Ramsay Steak

The Deal
Breakfast of Champions, and Other Bargains
August 9th, 2012
The cheapo breakfast was once synonymous with Las Vegas, but it’s hard to find one these days. What’s cheapo? Ninety-nine cents is the standard, but even a buck-ninety-nine qualifies, and they just don’t do those much anymore. One place that does is Emily’s at Club Fortune, which comes in right in the middle with a $1.49 breakfast, served daily from 6 to 11 a.m. This is a good one, with three eggs, two bacon or sausage, hash browns and toast. The only problem is getting out to the south end of Boulder Highway. Read more »

Tyler Talk
Comedian/actress/talk-show host Aisha Tyler squeezes Vegas into her nonstop life
July 5th, 2012
The inexhaustible Aisha Tyler has a schedule so packed, she only finds time to do stand-up on rare weekends off. One of those is July 5-7 at Paris’ Empire Comedy. She’s catching time from her daytime chat show, The Talk, which is just one of three shows she does— along with Canadian sci-fi joint XIII: The Series and FX’s Archer, the best show on television.

‘Jersey’ By Way of Paris
Back onstage at its new home, the Boys return reality to the Strip
March 22nd, 2012
Resurfacing this month at Paris Las Vegas after departing the Palazzo two months ago, the tuneful bio of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is a superior jukebox musical—i.e., it has a plot rather than just a greatest-hits mentality—but more than that, it’s a show that lives in the real world even while it stars on a street of fantasy.
