You know what they say about making mixtapes? It\u2019s hard to create only one. So it was hard to resist building on the Las Vegas \u201cmixtape\u201d theme of my last column with this new compilation. These \u201ctracks\u201d spotlight the sizzle and rich eclecticism of this ever-evolving city, where there are many different roads, on and off The Strip, to go down.<\/p>\n

Track #1:<\/strong> Piero\u2019s,<\/strong> Capo\u2019s <\/strong>Restaurant & Speakeasy<\/strong>, <\/strong>Italian American Club, <\/strong>and Casa de Amore<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s impossible not to spot restaurants with old-school Italian vibes all over Vegas\u2014places with dim lighting, storied pasts as mobster hangouts, live Rat Pack music, and chicken parmigiana that doesn\u2019t skimp on the cheese. Yesterday may be gone, but gangster mythology remains fascinating. Here are four classic spots, and each one was absolutely bustling, with seriously top-notch service, when I recently visited them.<\/p>\n

Piero\u2019s<\/strong>: Soon as you pull up to this stand-alone building on Convention Center Dr, the valet attendants are all waiting to take your car, like you\u2019re a famous crime figure. Now 40 years old, the just-off-The Strip eatery specializing in Italian cuisine and seafood is sprawling and grand. I’m happy to report that the Chilean Sea Bass (with a puttanesca sauce and baby spinach) was stratospheric. I\u2019m glad I ordered a simple but on-the-money Spaghetti Pomodoro to enhance the meal. Impressively, standout Vegas-based singer Christy Molasky and the three-piece jazzy lounge trio Shoutouts held court with multiple sets in the lounge area. Their unique arrangement of John Prine\u2019s classic \u201cThe Angel From Montgomery\u201d amazingly worked. They return on March 10 and 11 and May 12 and 13.<\/p>\n

Capo\u2019s Restaurant & Speakeasy: <\/strong>Having driven by Capo’s<\/strong> on the west side many times, it was finally time to step inside this restaurant boasting \u201cactual Al Capone\u2019s Family Secret sauces.\u201d I arrived very early on a Friday night when it was already jammed. It\u2019s unbelievably darkly lit in there\u2014perfect, I guess, if you\u2019re hiding from the cops.<\/p>\n

As a Rat Pack musical combo conjured another time and place, we were escorted to our table by the endearing \u201cChicago Tommy,\u201d who I\u2019m told has been key in keeping Nico Santucci\u2019s mob-themed place positively jumping. I ordered their Chicken Parmigiana and Spaghetti, asking (embarrassingly) for \u201clight cheese, please.\u201d The chef wisely didn\u2019t listen to me\u2014the dish was dreamy.<\/p>\n

Italian American Club: <\/strong>This is another big stand-alone structure on the east side, with a huge parking lot in front and fabulously kitschy Italian statues positioned outside. For over 60 years, it\u2019s been a \u201cnonprofit social club that remains the hub of the Italian American community,\u201d with different rooms (you can easily get lost here) for banquets, proper dinner shows, and lounge entertainment. Big shout-out for the heavenly Chicken Involtini (\u201cchicken breast stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, cheese & prosciutto).\u201d The entertainment is not strictly Italian-themed; I noticed a sign that \u201cJohn Anthony as Rod Stewart\u201d will perform there on March 19 (buffet and show).<\/p>\n

Casa Di Amore: <\/strong>After checking out downtown\u2019s essential Mob Museum<\/strong>, my wife and I dropped into this long-running eatery on the east side, lured by its reputation and \u201cVegas the way it used to be\u201d slogan. It\u2019s a romantic, beautifully lit dining room\/bar with red banquettes and slide-show images throughout classic Vegas.<\/p>\n

We had their Caesar salad, garlic bread, Baked Clams Oreganata, Stuffed Bell Peppers and Chicken Piccata\u2014and finished the meal with the delightful cannoli. Beyond the food, we\u2019ll also return to hear their seasoned vocalist\/pianist and drummer, who skillfully know their way around Rat Pack standards. Casa Di Amore<\/strong> instantly stole our hearts and hit our vintage mainline.<\/p>\n

Track #2:<\/strong> \u201cThe Rat Pack,\u201d Tuscany Suites & Casino<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For more glorious old-school Vegas vibes, head to \u201cThe Rat Pack Is Back!\u201d which plays Monday through Saturday at 7:30 pm at the Copa Room, a wonderfully intimate nightclub setting at the off-Strip Tuscany Suites<\/strong> & Casino.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hats off to Chris Jason, Drew Anthony, and Kyle Diamond, who brought Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. to life, respectively. Backed by an excellent seven-piece band, they raise their glass to the legendary alcohol-fueled shows by the OG\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Their solid vocal performances, truckloads of ribald onstage patter, and infectious \ufffcchemistry drive this long-running show, now in its 23rd year, which I\u2019ve seen twice and will see again.<\/p>\n

Track #3:<\/strong> 1923 Prohibition Bar<\/strong>, Shoppes at Mandalay Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s not easy keeping up with the city\u2019s modern speakeasy explosion, which includes The Lock<\/strong>\u00a0within the Cabinet of Curiosities at the Horseshoe<\/strong> (formerly Bally\u2019s), Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den<\/strong> at Resorts World<\/strong>, and 1923 Prohibition Bar<\/strong>, which\u00a0describes itself as \u201ca speakeasy-themed private, hidden bourbon bar located at Mandalay Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

How to find the Prohibition Bar?\u00a0 Look for a bookcase in the Shoppes at Mandalay Place <\/strong>with a sign that reads \u201cProhibition Has Ended,\u201d and push it open. Inside, the atmosphere is brothel-sexy, seductively lit with chandeliers, and guests sit on tufted banquettes drinking specialty cocktails with names like \u201cSpeakeasy Strange Rush\u201d and \u201cGangster\u2019s Holy Grail.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a recent Saturday night, the place really came alive when a burlesque dancer, whose name I believe was \u201cCherry London,\u201d intermittently moved through the crowd\u2014topless, with pasties and feathers\u2014reminding everyone why they were in Vegas. A clever DJ (filling in for the scheduled live entertainer) was spinning everything from Beyonce\u2019s \u201cCuff It\u201d to old-school hip-hop classics like \u201cCalifornia Love\u201d to \u201cStranglehold\u201d by Ted Nugent\u2014and the small dance floor was packed. It was an excellent place to be on a Saturday night in America.<\/p>\n

Track #4: Hellbound <\/strong>Horror Collectibles, New Orleans Square in Commercial Center<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll be glad to know it\u2019s Halloween year-round at Hellbound Horror Collectibles. <\/strong>Owners Jim and Barbra opened their fun memorabilia store in June 2020 at the refreshingly bohemian New Orleans Square<\/strong> in Commercial Center<\/strong>, catering to fans of horror movies and such characters as Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers.<\/p>\n

\"\"

It\u2019s all here\u2014books, knives, T-shirts, socks, action figures, statues, dolls, magnets and wallets emblazoned with the names of horror films, including Halloween Kills<\/em> and Attack of The Living Dead<\/em>. You can also buy replicas of foreboding license plates from cars seen in horror movies (if you know, you know).<\/p>\n

When I stopped in, Barbra told me they support local artists by selling paintings, banners, enamel pins and other items. As a bonus, Hellbound occasionally has signing appearances by popular horror film names like actress Eileen Dietz, who unforgettably played the demon \u201cPazuzu\u201d in The Exorcist.<\/em> I left with a kitschy spirit board bag from the UK, as I\u2019m ready to explore the mysteries of 2023.<\/p>\n

Track #5: \u201cAbsinthe,\u201d Caesars Palace<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A good place to find inspired hedonism is in a big tent outside Caesars Palace\u2014<\/strong>where the long-running \u201cAbsinthe\u201d unfurls its creative madness on three stages. Generally regarded as the buzziest show in Vegas, it\u2019s conceived by those imaginative folks at Spiegelworld (\u201cAtomic Saloon,\u201d \u201cOpium\u201d), who are experts in lighting up the world with visual feasts and smart, raunchy comedy sketches that mercilessly poke fun at conservatives who aim to curtail our freedoms.<\/p>\n

Everything is dazzling\u2014the jugglers, the body contortionist, the sword swallower, the gymnastic balancing duo, and the aerialists, including the sensational burlesque act \u201cHot Chicks On Sticks.\u201d The fast-paced show is masterfully stitched together with the kind of X-rated comedy that blows up the idea of what\u2019s generally acceptable to say on a public stage. Maybe don\u2019t take your parents with you to see \u201cAbsinthe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Track #6: Aromi, Summerlin North<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Looking for Strip culinary sophistication elsewhere in the city? With his world-class Italian restaurant Aromi<\/strong>, which opened in 2021, executive chef and founder German Castellanos triumphantly bring his magic to Summerlin North.<\/strong> The Honduras-born Castellanos most recently made his name as the Chef de Cuisine at Valentino, which had a 12-year-run at The Venetian.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On a recent visit to Aromi, it was easy to be dazzled by the chef\u2019s special starter: Scallop Carpaccio with blood orange agrumato caviar and micro <\/em>arugula (let\u2019s hear it for such specificity!). Thumbs up, too, for his Squid Ink Spaghetti with lobster, scallops, and arrabbiata sauce, not to mention the Linguine Bottarga (roasted garlic with white wine, shrimp, asparagus, calabrese chili and cured mullet roe). There are many subtleties to savor in Castellanos\u2019 creations.<\/p>\n

The menu includes mass-appeal fare like lasagna, chicken parmigiana, and spaghetti carbonara. But I recommend ordering the most inventive dishes for those trying Aromi for the first time because it\u2019s safe to bet on Castellanos\u2019 creativity. Aromi is located on Rampart Blvd near Lake Mead Blvd in the same plaza as the highly recommended Ohlala French Bistro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Track #7:<\/strong> The Cowsills, Golden Nugget Showroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Have you seen the tough-to-watch Showtime documentary \u201cFamily Band: The Cowsills Story\u201d? Then you know that this \u201860s pop group\u2019s big sunshine harmonies masked the abuse they say they endured at the hands of their alcoholic father\/manager. At the Golden Nugget,<\/strong> it was heartening to see that The Cowsills (now Bob, Paul, and Susan, with a tight band) have moved beyond their difficult past and even made light of it with nonstop funny banter throughout their 90-minute set.<\/p>\n

\"\"

They opened with their signature hit, \u201cThe Rain, The Park and Other Things,\u201d setting the tone with their joyous, high-flying three-part sibling harmonies.<\/p>\n

They joked about \u201conly having four big hits\u201d in their career and filled out the set with their lesser-known songs and mostly convincing covers, the best of which was CSN\u2019s \u201cHelplessly Hoping.\u201d There\u2019s always a huge choice of classic rockers to see Vegas; I\u2019m happy I saw The Cowsills, and it\u2019s a delight to see legacy bands at the Nugget\u2019s historic showroom on Friday nights. Upcoming shows include The Guess Who (March 17) and Tommy James & The Shondells (March 24).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Track #8-9:<\/strong> Take It Easy Coffee Roasters (Chinatown) <\/strong>and Pasabocas Colombian Bakery<\/strong>\u00a0(Commercial Center)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are so many terrific dessert spots all over Vegas, many of which are in Chinatown,<\/strong> like the Columbian Take It Easy Coffee Roasters. <\/strong>From the same folks behind the city\u2019s popular coffee and Latin food chain Makers & Finders<\/strong>, this intimate place on Wynn Rd., with a bright and stylish ambiance, serves specialty coffee and expresso, along with traditional Columbian bakery items like bunuelos (fried dough fritters) with cheese, and pastries including the outstanding banana bread loaf (vegan and gluten-free, with seared pecans). Like Makers & Finders, there\u2019s a wide range of delicious handmade empanadas (baked or fried) at Take It Easy, some of which are sweet (guava, blueberry and apple) and presumably sent down to Earth from the heavens.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Across town, tucked away in Commercial Center<\/strong>, there\u2019s Pasabocas Colombian Bakery<\/strong>\u2014a very authentic mom-and-pop place with a largely non-English-speaking staff\u2014that I also recommend for pastries, empanadas, and coffee. The ambiance is warm and cozy, with assorted living room furniture and a large electric sign spelling out a message that\u2019s hard to resist: \u201cViva Bunuelos!\u201d Try their coconut-flavored bread, churros, and pasabocas (puff pastry filled with cheese and guava or cheese and dulce de leche).<\/p>\n

If you order, as I did, the brazo de reina (Chilean dulce de leche cake with a creamy caramel filling), chances are you\u2019ll be less mad at the world.<\/p>\n

Track #10: Main St. Provisions,<\/strong> Arts District<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The kitchen of the very popular Main St. Provisions<\/strong> in the Arts District has a lot of creativity. This spacious restaurant, owned by Kim Owens and adorned with locally sourced artwork, was filled with diners on a recent Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Chef Patrick Anthony Munster\u2019s specialty is modern American comfort food; his playful and smart touches were instantly apparent in the golden beet and arugula salad with bresaola beef and goat cheese. Two entrees we had\u2014the seared scallops, with creamed brussels sprouts, leeks and truffle reduction, and the oven-roasted 1\/2 chicken, with braised greens and smoked thigh and creamy polenta\u2014were joyously executed.<\/p>\n

If you go, don\u2019t skip out on the desserts. We melted into the butter cake, with pomegranate reduction, and the Cointreau noir whipped cream and found our inner peace with the sweetly named \u201cMyrtle the Turtle.\u201d It\u2019s a milk chocolate brownie with candied pecans, salted caramel sauce, and vanilla bean ice cream. If you\u2019re having a bad day, Main St. Provisions can fix that for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
