Miral Kotb’s “iLuminate” is booked through 2027 at The Strat Showroom.
Fifteen years ago, the plug was pulled on the splashy fest that once featured a red-carpet screening of “Ocean’s Thirteen” with George Clooney and pals.
Toei Animation, the team behind the “One Piece” Japanese manga and anime franchise, had a “takeover” for the series on the exterior of the Sphere in Las Vegas.
It was tequila over popcorn as Mark Wahlberg attended a screening of “Ted” at Fontainebleau.
I’ll freely admit that, not having spent time in Buffalo, N.Y., I’ve never had Buffalo wings at the original Anchor Bar, which reportedly is where they were created.
Restaurant tips come to me in all sorts of ways. In the case of the Southwest Diner in Boulder City, it was through an item in my Taste of the Town column, which runs Wednesdays.
Regular readers know I value restaurants with menus that change — but not too much. Seeing the same menu all the time gets boring, but we all hate to see a favorite dish vanish. Restaurants with staying power usually know how to walk that fine line.
“Are you familiar with Indian food?” asked our server at Urban Turban. Sure, it’s one of our favorite cuisines. But then again, it didn’t really matter, since Urban Turban isn’t your average Indian restaurant.
Despite what you may have heard, locals do go to the Strip, and they do go downtown. I know because they email me all the time to tell me about their dining experiences in both places, good and bad (though mostly good). And one of the places I hear about most often is Cafe Cortez at the El Cortez.

I wondered what would be the case with Lola’s, a downtown spot that specializes in New Orleans cuisine and has more than five years under its sequined belt. And, after visiting the new(ish) Summerlin location, I have high hopes.
I’ve been to the Tap House quite a few times over the years for newsroom departures: Tradition is that you get a dice clock and a send-off at the Tap House. What’s the attraction? That was never clear to me because there aren’t that many of us Browns fans on staff, so I guess it’s just something that nobody’s been moved to change.
Vila Algarve’s name officially ends “Portuguese Seafood and Grill,” and of course “Algarve” refers to the country’s southernmost coastal region.
I had a feeling I was going to like Tiabi Coffee & Waffle Bar from the moment I stepped through the door and caught a whiff of the place.
Lucky Foo’s Restaurant & Bar is the kind of place that could be insufferably hip. That would kill it in the suburbs, and it appears the owners are smarter than that. What they’ve created is a fun, fusiony restaurant with an edge, without the annoying hipster elements.
Las Vegas is a special kind of resort city. In the city, you get The Strip (along with the Sphere); on the outside, you get the vast Mojave Desert with its nostalgic attractions. In the past, people visiting Las Vegas would do so with the phrase in mind: “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” […]
Hoda Kotb asked Celine Dion when she would return to the stage, but Hotb related that Dion was halted by her manager.
Las Vegas had more honorees than any other city on Yelp’s list of top 100 sushi spots in the United States. The list includes Chinatown and Henderson restaurants.
Milk cream doughnuts, mochi doughnuts and gooey corn dogs drizzled with condiments star at the shop.
Cork Proctor worked the lounge circuit in Las Vegas and Reno beginning in the 1970s, when he opened for such stars as the Supremes and Mel Tillis.
