Sure, everyone can wander through the Strip, but Vegas has a lot of other hidden gems. The best way to truly enjoy Las Vegas is to go freewheeling through the city. Of course, hit the obvious hot spots, but also search out places that are not \u201ctrending.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vegas is like creating a perfectly eclectic 10-song mixtape, with every track putting you in a different headspace and revealing parts of you to others.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for some new and unique experiences, including some lesser-known faves, check out these top 10 selections to experience the dazzling, the offbeat, and everything in between. While a couple are featured on the Strip, we bet there are a few new ones you haven’t experienced below.<\/p>\n

Track #1: Office of Collecting and Design<\/h2>\n

If you like straying from the beaten path, try the intriguingly named Office of Collecting and Design. Possibly the most esoteric offering in Vegas, the museum is in the art-smart New Orleans Square (part of the city\u2019s historic and on-the-rebound Commercial Center).<\/p>\n

\"\"

Expect to enter a cozy three-room space that describes itself as \u201cpart exhibition, part archive, and part studio space for the artist and filmmaker Jessica Oreck.\u201d From bygone times, you\u2019ll see \u201crare and common\u201d matchboxes, doll parts, dominoes, dice, tiny wooden boxes, plastic animals, miniature bowling pins\u2014I could go on. Oreck even lets visitors look through all the drawers and jars.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not only her collections on display here, but items that other vintage enthusiasts have graciously donated, so that the smallest of things in this world won\u2019t be forgotten.<\/p>\n

This free museum is only open on Wednesdays from 11 am to 5 pm. If you\u2019re unavailable during those hyper-specific hours, don\u2019t fret\u2014they\u2019re happy to accommodate you with an appointment. Attention, hoarders: you now know where to unload your stuff.<\/p>\n

Track #2: L2 Texas BBQ<\/h2>\n

Want to feel proudly American? Drive over to this big roadhouse on Warm Springs Rd. near Henderson, where pictures of the food grace the menu\u2014my kind of place (you know what you\u2019re getting when you order it). We went all-in for the platter with insanely juicy smoked spareribs, smoked chicken, and rib tips. Owners\/creators Larry Lehrner and Larry Esguerra are committed to delivering Hill Country Texas flavors.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The meats here are \u201cslow smoked on hickory, mesquite and oak for 13 hours.\u201d The sides of mashed potatoes with gravy, coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread were mighty fine, too.\u00a0 We washed down our meal with sweet apple iced tea, and there was no way we could leave without pledging allegiance to the standout peach cobbler a la mode.<\/p>\n

This down-home spot is the polar opposite of a high-end Vegas restaurant like The Bedford By Martha Stewart\u2014where I assume the menu is photo-free\u2014so I\u2019m heartily recommending it.<\/p>\n

Track #3: King Tut\u2019s Tomb at the Luxor<\/h2>\n

Over at the Luxor, there\u2019s plenty of excitement for this celebratory and immersive exhibition. The timing is perfect\u2014it\u2019s exactly 100 years since archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the lost and intact tomb of the boy king known as King Tut.<\/p>\n

\n

You\u2019ll have fun wandering around the dark nooks and crannies here, becoming smarter by the minute. Crazy stuff went down 3000 years ago in Egypt\u2014people who believed in the afterlife protected and preserved the dead via the meticulous mummification process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You\u2019ll also learn how families there, including royalty like King Tut himself, wound up with birth defects from their in-breeding. The highlight here, of course, is the recreation of the tomb with the \u201cburial chamber that housed the shrines, sarcophagus and nested coffins that protected Tut\u2019s mummy.\u201d It\u2019s all done tastefully (shout-out to Imagine Exhibitions), and you\u2019ll get a clear sense of how thrilled Carter was to make his lucky discovery.<\/p>\n

Track #4: Golden Nugget Showroom, Tommy James; the Shondells<\/h2>\n

There are so many high-profile residencies by superstar music artists on The Strip that it\u2019s easy to overlook the smaller legacy artists who are still on the circuit\u2014like the ones who perform at this intimate and excellent-sounding venue downtown, where Sinatra once graced the stage.<\/p>\n

Case in point: Tommy James and the Shondells, who recently showered the crowd with all their hits, including \u201cI Think We\u2019re Alone Now,\u201d \u201cCrimson and Clover,\u201d and \u201cMony Mony\u201d\u2014songs that Tiffany, Joan Jett, and Billy Idol, respectively, would also take to the bank.<\/p>\n

\n

James was on fire vocally, and even if the band’s muscularity sometimes overshadowed the songs’ intimacy, the gig was still thrilling. I got to shake James\u2019 hand when he ventured into the audience during an extended jam on \u201cMony Mony\u201d\u2014a pretty fearless thing for a performer to do in the Covid era.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In his set, James talked frankly about how his record label back then, Roulette Records, was a front for the Genovese crime family. You can read about that in depth in James\u2019 eye-opening memoir, \u201cMe, the Mob and the Music,\u201d which he noted onstage is being made into a major motion picture.<\/p>\n

Coming up at the Nugget, which offers free validated parking (insert loud applause here) to concertgoers: Night Ranger (December 30), The Grass Roots (January 13), and the Cowsills (January 27).<\/p>\n

Track #5: Spiedini Fiamma Italian Bistro<\/h2>\n

With so many Italian restaurants in Summerlin, I think the area should soon apply for Little Italy status. There are exceptional fine-dining spots, including Aromi, La Strega, Osteria Fiorella, North Italia, Trattoria Reggiano, and Al Solito Posto at Tivoli Village, plus the casual Dom DeMarco\u2019s, which was created in partnership with famous Brooklyn pizza joint Di Fara Pizza.<\/p>\n

Now comes Spiedini Fiamma at the JW Marriott.<\/p>\n

Chef Paula Smagacz serves up terrific \u201cItalian comfort classics\u201d\u2014food to help protect you from an unforgiving world\u2014in a seductively designed dining room with super-attentive waiters.\u00a0 On a night out with friends, we ordered three solid appetizers\u2014the bruschetta, shrimp scampi, and meatballs with ricotta\u2014and segued into the spot-on veal marsala, chicken piccata, and salmon entrees, all served with linguini.<\/p>\n

We topped the meal off with the finely prepared tiramisu and knew that we\u2019ll be back soon to try the lasagna, lobster ravioli, and pizza. Looking over the menu, I have my eyes firmly on the enticing prosciutto and fig pizza with arugula and parmesan cream sauce.<\/p>\n

Track #6: \u201ciLuminate\u201d at The Strat<\/h2>\n

One of the best ways to light up the night in Vegas is to head to The Strat for this fast-paced, joyously funky and technically marvelous dance revue that began on \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d back in 2011.<\/p>\n

\n

It takes place on a darkened stage, where dynamic dancers wear \u201celectrified glow-in-the-dark suits\u201d using patented \u201ciLuminate\u201d technology. They inventively strut their stuff to a red-hot mix of tracks, including Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cSmooth Criminal,\u201d Bruno Mars\u2019 \u201cUptown Funk,\u201d and Janet Jackson\u2019s \u201cFeedback.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On the night I was there, the audience ate up this party-starter merger of technology and dance, with plenty of surreal effects and illusions. \u201ciLuminate\u201d is gimmicky, of course, but it works. Long may the show run.<\/p>\n

Track #7:\u00a0 Avantpop Bookstore<\/h2>\n

Having just marked its sixth-month anniversary in New Orleans Square, this mega-cool indie bookstore\/art gallery\/podcast studio is owned by two shining lights: writer Shwa Laytart and his wife Sugar. On the window outside, it proudly says, \u201cSpecialty. Subversive. Subculture\u201d\u2014an invitation to bohemians everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The shelves are lined with vintage and new books, including ones devoted to the occult, music, poetry, cannabis and more. Browse consciousness-raising and mind-bending books like \u201cSanta Sold Shrooms\u201d and \u201cThe Acid Test,\u201d not to mention all of John Waters\u2019 lovably twisted page-turners, include \u201cShock Value\u201d and \u201cCrackpot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also for sale: Laytart\u2019s own \u201cStoned History: Three Short Stories Zine.\u201d I left with a fresh copy of Hunter S. Thompson\u2019s \u201cFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u201d to commemorate my nearly three years of living here.<\/p>\n

Track #8: The Venetian Theatre, The B-52\u2019s<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always a treat to see a concert at the Venetian Theatre, the tri-level space that\u2019s \u201cinspired by The Paris Opera House\u201d (it was originally built to present the old \u201cPhantom\u2014The Las Vegas Spectacular\u201d show). Back in October, I saw The B-52’s there on the final night of their three-show engagement as part of their farewell tour, saluting a helluva 45-year run. The gig was exhilarating, but I remember leaving sad, wondering if rock would ever be as danceable and downright fun again.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s terrific to hear that the best party band on the planet will return to the Venetian next year with a 10-show residency starting May 5 and wrapping September 3 (tickets are now on sale). The band, fronted by Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson, irresistibly supply their dance-this-mess-around grooves and embrace their trash culture aesthetic on classics like \u201cPlanet Claire,\u201d \u201cLove Shack,\u201d and \u201cRock Lobster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their goodbye tour is the gift that keeps giving.<\/p>\n

Track #9: Lotus of Siam<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the top restaurants of the moment is the newly opened third location of Vegas\u2019 long-revered Thai eatery Lotus of Siam. This one, at Red Rock Resort, is a multi-room visual showstopper with lots of bamboo, brick stone arches, and endless lanterns hanging overhead. Bonus: the overall lighting makes everyone look (and why not?) photoshopped and forever young.<\/p>\n

Given the Lotus brand\u2019s reputation, their Northern Thai dishes, not surprisingly, were outstanding. Those include, of course, the Anthony Bourdain-approved favorite \u201cNam Kao Tod\u201d\u2014a crispy rice dish with pork sausage, cilantro, green onions, dry ground chilis, sliced ginger, peanuts, and lime juice.<\/p>\n

Lotus\u2019 partners told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that it cost \u201cnorth of $5 million\u201d to create this 8000-square-foot palace with 280 seats\u2014and it looks like a home run. It was jam-packed on a recent Friday night, with a DJ on hand to further amp up the room\u2019s energy.<\/p>\n

Track #10: Zeppola Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My Vegas mixtape ends on a sweet note\u2014with one of my favorite dessert spots, Zeppola Cafe in St. Mark\u2019s Square at The Venetian. It\u2019s hard to resist their transcendent bombolones, which are Italian-filled donuts (I favor the custard one), and an array of Italian desserts, sandwiches and pizza.<\/p>\n

This is the Vegas outpost of the Zeppola Bakery in midtown NYC, and I trust they will succeed here. There\u2019s inside and outside seating, plus a hidden second level I stumbled on. From the windows up there, you can view the gorgeously lit St. Mark\u2019s Square in all its perpetual magic hour glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
