Riviera (or colloquially known as “the Riv”) is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip. It was the shooting location for Oceans Eleven (1960) and is one of the oldest and most famous resorts on the Strip. Although there are quite a few shows to catch your attention, you won’t find any

[Show as slideshow] Chef Vincenzo Scarmiglia is one of our favorite dudes in food. Castelmagno cheese might be our favorite cheese in the world. When we saw it on Sirio ’s menu, you might say our little fermented-curd-lovin’ heart skipped a beat. (When we saw a wheel of it at Peck in Milan years ago, that’s just what happened.) Turns out this Tuscan chef thinks as much of it as we do. He brought it to Las Vegas as one of the highlights of his selezione di formaggi Italiani . Castelmagno cheese (DOP) is a cow-sheep’s milk blend made high in the foothills of the Piedmont (“foot hills”) area of northwestern Italy. The milk must come from the razza bovina Piemontese . It…

Rumjungle, the nightclub at Mandalay Bay, has filed for bankruptcy. In addition to owing $1.1 million rent to the hotel-casino, Rumjungle also claims that they have a contract stating Mandalay Bay allowed them to be the sole nightclub in the casino. Two years ago, Mandalay converted their center bar to a nightclub/bar hybrid called eyecandy, which Rumjungle claims violates their agreement. Rumjungle has done many things to stave off bankruptcy — including serving lunch — but revenue has dropped 40 percent each year since 2007.

The signature attractions at Stratosphere Las Vegas are the three heart-pounding thrills. But aside from those, the resort also offers pools and a spa for the guests to relax and rejuvenate. The observation decks and the tower shops add some more excitement to the days spent at the resort. Thrills The Stratosphere Tower is the

Last month, several renderings (since removed) of the exterior of the Switch Beach Club at Encore were revealed. They didn’t offer much in the way of a surprise – escalators, sweeping stairs and arches, all in the Wynn D&D aesthetic, matching their recent work. Today, the sleuths at VegasTripping.com turned up a few more renderings – this time sketches of potential interiors. My first impression: hmmmmmm. Roger Thomas, my vote for one of the best interior designers on the planet (and the best casino designer ever), talked a bit about his intentions on a recent episode of The Strip Podcast . These renderings match that conversation pretty well, lending them additional validity. …

[Show as slideshow] It had been six months…half a year since last we ate at Raku , a restaurant that, in all modesty, we take some pride in having placed on the Las Vegas foodie map. We’re tempted to use the old Yogi Berra line: “That place is so popular no one goes there any more.” But that wouldn’t be true, ‘cuz everyone still goes here: foodies, chefs, industry folks, Asian food aficionados, lovers of pristine grilled fish and vegetables and pretty much the entire food intelligentsia of Las Vegas. We’re happy to report that The food is still as stunning as ever, and now there are twenty more seats available in the adjoining space — two semi-…
