</font></strong><br />
<font color="#0000ff">10 out of 10 &#8211; must attend</font></font></p>
<p><img src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/RexatSouthPoint.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" align="left" style="margin: 5px;" />Last Friday I attended the South Point for their dollar drink special.&nbsp; I arrived around 8pm and the place was already packed, the first bar by the parking garage was full, and there were no tables or spots at the bar.&nbsp; But waiting for drinks wasn&#8217;t really a problem.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I was skeptical when I first arrived about &quot;every drink one dollar&quot;, but as soon as I ordered I quickly found that it was legit.&nbsp; While sometimes they skimped on the liquor pour for some drinks, overall everything I ordered tasted right and was decently strong.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">For example, I ordered 4 Surfer&#8217;s on Acid and the bartender made it with 3 shots instead of 4 &#8211; but when the price is only a dollar a piece, who&#8217;s complaining?&nbsp; Literally every kind of booze was a dollar. They will give you well liquor unless you specify, but I was drinking Jack Daniels Single Barrel and Pa</font><font face="Verdana"><img width="275" height="206" align="right" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/Enjoying a Dollar Beer at South Point.jpg" alt="" /></font><font face="Verdana">tron as well as some normally expensive shots all for a dollar.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">A bit later we moved over to the sports bar where we managed to find a table.&nbsp; By about 9pm the sports bar was completely jammed.&nbsp; I waited 15 to 20 minutes to get a drink. I even started waiting at 9:45 to get a last round and didn&#8217;t get served until 10:10. The bartender still gave me the drinks for a dollar since I was in line -&nbsp; very decent of her.&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"> Overall I had a really good time, with a crowd of interesting people.&nbsp; You cannot beat this for the price -&nbsp; anywhere.<font color="#0000ff">&nbsp; It&#8217;s the real deal &#8211; no Vegas gimmicks.</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The offer is advertised only for the month of June, so unless they extend &#8211; Fri Jun 26 is your last chance for a boozer&#8217;s dream.</font></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Rex Reviews the M Beer Bar 32 Degrees Happy Hour prices of $1 and gives it a 3 out of 10.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Courier New" size="5"><strong><font color="#ff0000">Rex Reviews</font></strong></font><font face="Verdana"><br />

<p><font face="Verdana"><img src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/SamAdamsdraft(1).jpg" style="margin: 5px;" alt="" width="398" height="400" align="right" /></font></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000" size="3">Beer Bar: 3 out of 10 (happy hour)</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Earlier I had a posting stating that the 32 Degree beer bar located inside the M Casino has a happy hour during the week from 4pm to 7pm that was all domestics $1 . </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Well, I am sorry to report that this isn&rsquo;t nearly as good of a deal as I originally posted. Despite the fact that on their menu pricing the domestics are considered to be anything brewed inside the US (including micro breweries and premium US beer), the $1 drafts are limited to the standard &quot;domestic&quot; pisswater beers such as Bud light and Coors light. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I was very disappointed when I drove all the way out to the M in order to partake in the happy hour and taste a variety of delicious beers for cheap and found out I basically wasted my time. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I apologize to any readers that may have read my article and did the same thing as I did.</font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p><font face="Verdana">Last time I was at the M, I noticed that their Beer Bar <font color="#0000ff">32 Degrees</font> has a Happy Hour Sunday through Thursday from 4 to 7 with all domestic pints $1.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">This is a better deal than you think because at 32 Degrees, &quot;domestics&quot; aren&#8217;t just Bud light and Coors.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">If its brewed here in America, it&#8217;s a buck &#8211; including Samuel Adams and a wide selection of micro-brews &#8211; all draft and served ice cold.</font></p>

		<description><![CDATA[32� Draft beer bar at the M Las Vegas is the place to go for beer lovers - excellent air conditioning, elegant surroundings, friendly service, incredible easy on the budget prices and a wide selection of fine brews, domestic and imported.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/Mbeerbarbest.jpg" alt="" width="111" vspace="5" hspace="5" height="80" align="right" />I&#8217;m going to change my mind about the <strong>32&ordm; Draft beer bar</strong> at the <strong>M Resort Casino Spa</strong>, Las Vegas.&nbsp; I wasn&#8217;t enthusiastic about it on my first visit because I didn&#8217;t like its location next to the Sports Betting area, in earshot of a cacophony of slot machines.</p>
<p>But on the second visit, in the late afternoon, we sat at the bar and began sampling some of the <font color="#0000ff">71 ice cold brews on tap</font>.&nbsp; I am ready to tolerate a little slot machine noise in the background for the opportunity to drink domestic microbrewery draft beer for <font color="#0000ff">$3.50 </font>(including tax) and imported draft beer for <font color="#0000ff">$4.50</font> (also including tax.)&nbsp; These are arguably the best prices in town.&nbsp; I don&#8217;t know anywhere else you can get a Chimay for $4.50.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The service was extremely friendly &#8211; as is everywhere we went at the M.&nbsp; We were offered several generous samples along with the 4 brews we ordered for a grand total of $15.&nbsp; At those prices, we felt more than comfortable leaving a very generous tip.</p>
<p>It seems the Marnell Family may have achieved the dream &#8211; &quot;build it and they will come&quot; &#8211; even in a recession.&quot;</p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">MY RECOMMENDATION:</font><br />
<strong>32&ordm; Draft beer bar at the M</strong> is the place to go for beer lovers &#8211; excellent <font color="#0000ff">air conditioning</font>, elegant surroundings, <font color="#0000ff">friendly</font> service, incredible easy on the <font color="#0000ff">budget prices</font> and a <font color="#0000ff">wide selection</font> of fine brews, domestic and imported.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The new M Casino Resort in Las Vegas is drop dead gorgeous.  Built for the youthful hip, must sees are the pool area, the lobby and the Hostile Grape Wine Bar. Don't miss the gelato at Baby Cakes for a single scoop at $2.25.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/NewMCasino.gif" alt="" width="150" height="114" align="right" style="margin: 5px;" /><font face="Verdana">The newest addition to the Las Vegas hotel scene is the <font color="#ff0000">M Resort Casino Spa</font>, a modernistic, drop dead gorgeous oasis palace of hip pleasure with spacious expanses of marble, structured amber glass and lofty ceilings.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">First thoughts are why such a trendy palace so far from the Strip?&nbsp; But on second thought, the M lies at the gateway to Las Vegas when traveling on the 15 from California, just off the interstate at the intersection of St Rose Parkway and Las Vegas Blvd South.&nbsp; It&#8217;s also a short drive from Henderson and Anthem &#8211; an area recently one of the city&#8217;s fastest growing, and sure to be again when the recession ebbs and home sales and building re-commence.</font></p>
<p><img width="225" height="300" align="left" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/M Lobby.JPG" alt="" />T<font face="Verdana">he <font color="#0000ff">Marnell family</font>, successful in the actual construction of casinos for others, has learned well from its experience.&nbsp; The architecture is monumental, the style forward, luxurious but youthful and hip.&nbsp; It should please anyone, although was definitely intended to attract a more urbane, under 50 crowd.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Citing lack of funds, <font color="#0000ff">Anthony Marnell III</font><strong> </strong>explained to the Las Vegas Sun that although he knew building a more environmentally smart structure was what he should have done, he declined the <strong>Lied</strong></font> <font face="Verdana">formula based on costs.&nbsp; Who am I to argue with a wildly successful businessman, but one can&#8217;t help but wonder if that decision was short-sighted.&nbsp; It seems to be one that many builders take here in the Valley,&nbsp; ignoring the harsh reality of looming energy and water crises.</font></p>
<p><img width="271" height="271" border="5" align="right" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/m-resort-spa-casino-las-vegas-pool.jpg" alt="" /><font face="Verdana">Highlights of the<strong> </strong><font color="#0000ff">M</font> include a movie set </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">pool</font><font face="Verdana"> area with a surrounding marble campus reminiscent of grand Egyptian temples &#8211; plenty of space here for any reception or grand ball.&nbsp;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">They did a reasonable job on the </font><font face="Verdana">sweeping canopy of the </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">hotel entrance</font><font face="Verdana">, </font><font face="Verdana">but the M lacks a grand entrance which says &quot;Here I am and here is exactly how you get to me.&quot;</font> <font face="Verdana">Anyone with a sprinkling of feng shui expertise would have spotted that right away</font>.<font face="Verdana"> It&#8217;s not that hard to take the wrong turn and end up in the outdoor parking area.&nbsp; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">They also need to do something about the valet pick-up. Totally exposed to the elements (wind and sun), someone forgot that many clients use the valet services to <em>avoid</em> the elements.<br />
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">lobby</font><font face="Verdana"> has splendid wow power with walls of elegant fresh lilies complemented by soothing cascading water elements.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a pleasure to access restaurants and guest elevators without the obligatory pass through the casino area that haunts most Strip venues.</font></p>
<p><img width="282" height="212" align="left" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/M BabyCakes sign.JPG" alt="" /><font face="Verdana" color="#ff0000">Baby Cakes</font><br />
<font face="Verdana">The <font color="#0000ff">Baby Cakes pastry and gelato shop</font> serves exquisite </font><font face="Verdana" color="#000000">sweets</font><font face="Verdana"> for great prices.&nbsp; A large scoop of gelato in a delicious cone is $2.25 and worth every penny. You can get two scoops for $3!&nbsp; The pistachio gelato was divine.&nbsp; The gelato selection is limited, but certainly adequate for anyone, and I would place their flavor and quality on par with the Bellagio.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t miss the croissants!<br />
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#ff0000">Hostile Grape</font><br />
<font face="Verdana">The <font color="#0000ff">Hostile Grape wine cellar</font> on the lowest level is worth the drive alone.&nbsp; With an amazing array of both good sipping wine and higher end vintages, you can either select your own from the myriad of dispensers or be served at the small bar.&nbsp; Furnished with intimate clusters of low Italian leather sofa sets or high bar stools grouped around tall modernistic cubes, the low lighting and soft music make it the perfect spot to gather, partake and socialize in intimacy.&nbsp; You take a glass and and using pre-paid tasting cards, select your own </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">wine</font><font face="Verdana">, 1,3 or 5 oz, from a selection of 160 &#8211; and enjoy.&nbsp; Access to the Grape is by stairs leading down from the lobby or a glass elevator.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#ff0000">32&ordm; Draft </font><font face="Verdana" color="#ff0000">Beer</font><font face="Verdana" color="#ff0000"> Bar</font><br />
<font face="Verdana">I revised my opinion of the <font color="#0000ff">32&ordm; Draft<strong> </strong></font></font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">beer</font><font face="Verdana"><font color="#0000ff"> bar</font> in another post, and was grossly unfair when I panned it for it&#8217;s proximity to the slot machines and sports betting.&nbsp; When you are savoring those incredibly priced ($3.50 domestic, $4.50 imported) and ice cold beers, you forget all else.<br />
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#ff0000">Veloce Cibo</font><br />
<font face="Verdana">We ate at the <font color="#0000ff">Tower Restaurant, Veloce Cibo</font>, which did not disappoint in terms of </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">spectacular view</font><font face="Verdana"> of the valley.&nbsp; The menu was diverse which surely pleases in the way the variety of a buffet will satisfy the palettes of groups with varying tastes.&nbsp; Much of it is designed to share, adding to the buffet-like advantage &#8211; while still being served at table.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Unfortunately, several of the dishes fell short &#8211; most notably the </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">sushi</font><font face="Verdana"> which is their flagship. If you can&#8217;t make a California roll, you are in trouble.&nbsp; I cannot recommend it at all. The tuna </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">sashimi</font><font face="Verdana">, <em>au contraire</em>, was fresh and delicious.&nbsp; The fried calamari were not light enough, the batter being a little &quot;floury&quot; and lacking delicacy.&nbsp; The chicken wraps were tasty and well spiced, with excellent lettuce (not iceberg), but not served with the crispy raw veggies that give them crunch and freshness.&nbsp; The </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">Asian marinated steak</font><font face="Verdana"> was superb and, by far, the best dish of the evening.&nbsp;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Although the staff tried very hard, there was something generally chaotic about the </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">service</font><font face="Verdana"> and I kept thinking that much more training was needed.&nbsp; The prices are not for budget-minded.&nbsp; I am hard pressed to give <font color="#0000ff">Veloce Cibo</font> a high recommendation for fine dining.</font></p>
<p><img width="184" height="246" align="left" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/M Bar.JPG" alt="" /><font face="Verdana"><font color="#ff0000">The M Guest Rooms</font><br />
The </font><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff">Guest rooms</font><font face="Verdana"> do not disappoint and the selection of suites, especially the 2 story 2400 sqft loft suites with wrap around views of the Valley, are sufficiently extravagant to impress most visitors. Keeping with trends, all rooms offer IPod docking and room safes large enough to accommodate laptops.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font color="#ff0000">Dress</font><br />
Geared to a younger set, the dress code is casual chic.&nbsp; Designer jeans and tight T shirts, accented by some Vegas Bling and you are in mode. <br />
</font></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000" size="3">MY RECOMMENDATION:</font><font color="#ff0000" size="3"><font color="#000000"><br />
</font></font></p>
<ul>
<li><font color="#ff0000" size="3"><font color="#000000">Visit for architectural experience &#8211; don&#8217;t miss the pool.</font></font></li>
<li><font color="#ff0000" size="3"><font color="#000000">Don&#8217;t miss Hostile Grape if you are wine lover.</font></font></li>
<li><font color="#ff0000" size="3"><font color="#000000">Savor a gelato.</font></font></li>

Dress up, look smart and sexy, don't worry about your age (must be 21 of course.)  It's a bit of glamour off the Strip with very reasonable prices at Happy Hour.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/image/BlueMartini.jpg" alt="" width="132" height="120" align="left" style="margin: 5px;"/>Wednesday night and the <strong>Blue Martini</strong> is jammed.  What would it be like if there were no recession?  It&#8217;s refreshing to see high heels, sexy dresses and crisp shirts.  You get so tired of the slobby tourists on the Strip with their shorts, sloppy T-shirts and sandals.  This is Las Vegas, for *** sakes!</p>
<p>The <strong>Blue Martini</strong>, across from the Rave Movie Experience, at the top of the escalator and to the left, at the west end of <strong>Town Square</strong>, is pulsating with feverish energy.  Three giant bars anchor this sprawling hot spot, one with outdoor patio, one with live music stage and the last secreted in the far back with cozy alcoves for tête á têes.  With an outdoor terrace that stretches on two sides, there is always quick access to fresh air and open space.  The bathrooms are also buried in the back, which can seem like quite a trek if you don&#8217;t plan ahead.</p>
<p>The servers are sweet and sexy in their powder blue bodices, a vague reference to French cancan and Playboy bunny.  The bartenders, handsome young lads, pour genereous martini&#8217;s and are well trained to keep customers happy.  In fact, the service everywhere is excellent - friendly and casual without the pretensions of the Strip.</p>
<p>The live music in the middle bar is rock sold dance quality, although there is no dance floor per se.  But who can sit still to Santana, although the average age of the dancers is way older than the sitters.  Do we just get freer as we age, or don&#8217;t people know to dance any more?</p>
<p><strong>Happy Hour</strong> serves $6 martini&#8217;s (regular $12) with beers about half that.  The food menu is diverse and the portions designed to set in the middle of the table and share.</p>
<p>Although most of the crowd is well under 40, you won&#8217;t feel ridiculous if you could be their parents. It&#8217;s a great spot and one I hate to write about because I&#8217;d still like to get a seat at the bar or a table when I go.  But if you are wondering where locals go &#8211; &#8220;to see and be seen&#8221; &#8211; it&#8217;s <strong>Blue Martini.</strong></p>

In fact, as one fan declared, &#8220;he guessed she could sing just about anything.&#8221; Amen to that! Her golden pipes  were backed up by the &#8220;<strong>The Cocho Arbe Trio</strong>.&#8221; Amazing music, amazing crowd, amazing atmosphere.  A truly <strong>magical night</strong>.

<p>Another Vegas night spot that is <strong>Off the Strip</strong> has closed its doors.  What a world we live in here in Sin City&#8230;..millions upon millions spent on entertainment on the Strip, while nightlife just a couple of blocks to the west or east struggles each day for breath.  <strong>Elvis</strong> was a funky, fun kind of place with an eclectic crowd that had crossed the street when Zinger&#8217;s closed.  With great dance music by <strong>Karin Denise</strong> and her group on the weekends, you might see any kind of person there and everyone having a good time.  But apparently not enough people to make it happen for Elvis, the owner who dressed like the &#8220;<strong>King</strong>&#8221; and even performed a few numbers.  A sad <em>sayonara</em> to another possibility for locals who can&#8217;t/won&#8217;t fight the crowds and pay the big bucks to go out on the weekends on Las Vegas Blvd.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/stir.jpg" title="stir.jpg"><img src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/stir.jpg" style="margin: 5px" title="stir.jpg" alt="stir.jpg" align="left" /></a>If it&#8217;s kind of late and you are looking for a comfortable trendy place to hang out and have a couple of drinks, try<strong> Stir</strong> at the Hotel/Spa <strong>Platinum</strong> between 10 pm and 1 am.  They are promoting a <strong>Reverse Happy Hour</strong> with 50% off well drinks and domestic beers while you &#8220;DJ or clock your iPod&#8221; and watch Film Noir on the flat screen TV&#8217;s.  They advertise <strong>caffeine, conversation</strong> and <strong>cocktails</strong>. <strong>Weeknights</strong> only.  Go to their website for more details <a href="http://www.theplatinumhotel.com/" target="_blank">lvplatinum.com</a>.<strong>  Platinum</strong> <em>211 E Flamingo</em> La Vegas NV. (at Koval)</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> We went by Thursday night to check it out and the <strong>bartender did not know</strong> about the Reverse Happy Hour deal.  Sports was playing on the TV.  A call to the Hotel on Friday morning assured me that the promotion is indeed happening.  Hopefully, the bartender will be informed.  Still, we had a great time and met some interesting people at the bar, including &#8220;<strong>El Blondie</strong>&#8221; a British professional poker player in town for the <strong>World Series of Poker</strong>.  He likes the Platinum and Stir because it&#8217;s <strong>Off the Strip</strong> but still happenin&#8217;.  We heard his story over a couple of Laphroaig&#8217;s.  Now that folks, is the <strong>beauty</strong> of <strong>Las Vegas</strong>.  You never know what you&#8217;re going to find or who you&#8217;re going to meet. You just need to get out of the house.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/rocknrollparty-1.jpg" title="rocknrollparty-1.jpg"><img src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/rocknrollparty-1.jpg" style="margin: 5px" title="rocknrollparty-1.jpg" alt="rocknrollparty-1.jpg" align="left" /></a>By the way, I attended <strong>Chris&#8217; Rock &#8216;n Roll Wine Event</strong> at the <strong>Platininum</strong> last Friday.  The place was packed and I applaud Chris his <strong>success</strong>.  We started with sparkling wines at the <strong>rooftop</strong>, which has a <strong>great view</strong> of the <strong>Strip</strong> from the airport down to the Stratosphere.  I was amazed at just how good a view they have.  Reds and whites were poured at the <strong>pool</strong> and restaurant area on the <strong>5th floor</strong> which is very chic and has a view of the Strip as well, albeit not as good as the rooftop.  Dessert wines were served in the ground floor lounge <strong>Stir</strong>.  I like the <strong>decor</strong> of the Platinum, it&#8217;s <strong>modern</strong> but still <strong>inviting</strong> and they did a lot visually with <em>troemps d&#8217;oeil</em> (meaning it looks like it cost more than it did.) It&#8217;s a clever place, quite intimate.  They were a bit overwhelmed at first with the numbers of Chris people, but landed nicely on their feet. As for <strong>Chris</strong> &#8211; what a <strong>star</strong>!  I need to get his story.</p>

<p>When I wrote that a few short months ago, little did I know that changes were coming that were huge &#8211; like <strong>Bobby Morris</strong> and group <strong>quitting</strong> &#8211; and now I hear that the <strong>place</strong> is being <strong>sold</strong>.  I also heard that there was <strong>no jazz last night </strong>(Fri Jun 01), so I <strong>apologize</strong> to anyone who went on down based on reading my calendar and articles. I have no idea what&#8217;s next, but it <strong>saddens</strong> me when something so successful (for the jazz-loving public anyway) would <strong>die</strong> so suddenly.</p>
<p>I had many <strong>memorable evenings</strong> there, not the least the night <strong>Mary Oliver</strong> sang &#8220;<strong>Happy Birthday</strong>&#8220;<a href="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/jazzplayer.jpg" class="imagelink" title="jazzplayer.jpg"><img src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/jazzplayer.jpg" title="jazzplayer.jpg" id="image887" style="margin: 5px" alt="jazzplayer.jpg" align="right" /></a> Marilyn <strong>Monroe-style</strong> to my <strong>son</strong> celebrating his rite of passage <strong>21st</strong> big one.  We had a night on the town with him &#8220;<strong>legal&#8221;</strong> and took him to all our <strong>favorite</strong> spots &#8211; Stirling Club, Jazz on 3rd, Sand Dollar, Barcode&#8230;but the <strong>highlight</strong> of the night was that song with him <strong>on stage</strong> with Mary.  I know <strong>he&#8217;ll never forget</strong> it. You know what they say in the <strong>Mastercard</strong> commercial &#8211; &#8220;<strong>Priceless</strong>.&#8221;  And that just perfectly describes my <strong>memories</strong> of<strong> Jazz at the Church on 3rd</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/elvis.JPG" title="elvis.JPG" class="imagelink"><img align="right" src="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/elvis.JPG" alt="elvis.JPG" style="margin: 5px" title="elvis.JPG" id="image1064" /></a></p>
<p>Elvis has closed.  See related <a href="http://www.sandraoffthestrip.com/index.php?p=1675">Elvis’ Restaurant &amp; Lounge has closed </a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m the kind of person who likes to have a <strong>good time</strong> and I don&#8217;t have a lot of <strong>hang-ups</strong> about the kinds or types of people to help me achieve that. I figure there are <strong>good people everywhere</strong> and they come in all shapes, sizes and <strong>life-style</strong> preferences. So I don&#8217;t like to stereotype a place as to &#8220;this is a biker-bar,&#8221; or this is a &#8220;gay bar,&#8221; or this is a &#8220;black club,&#8221; but would rather use a criteria such as <strong>great dance music</strong> and a high energy, <strong>let yourself go</strong> kind of ambiance.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m leading up to here is a take on <strong>Elvis&#8217; Restaurant and Lounge</strong> on Sahara and how an <strong>eclectic group</strong> of partiers can get it on with everybody feeling <strong>welcome</strong> and nobody being uptight. When you first walk in the door, you get a wild impression of the <strong>cantina</strong> in Star Wars, only Las Vegas style. The <strong>owner Elvis Nargi</strong> is decked out just how he should be in star-studded black, enormous belt buckle on his generous belly and hair couiffed in just that &#8220;sideburns and wings style&#8221; you would expect in a Vegas <strong>&#8220;King&#8221; impersonator</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Karin Denise</strong> is MC on Friday and Saturday nights, <strong>taking charge</strong> of the business of everybody enjoying themselves &#8211; from her <strong>lusty vocals</strong> to her commanding, <strong>high-voltage personality</strong>. Read more about her at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.karindenise.com">karindenise.com</a>. <strong>Elvis treated</strong> the full house to shots of <strong>Tequila</strong> with the waitress letting the good times pour directly into the gaping jaws of one enthusiastic dancer. As long as he wasn&#8217;t driving&#8230;.it&#8217;s his hangover, not mine.</p>
<p>I was heartsick when <strong>Zingers</strong> closed. But it looks like some of the crowd moved across the street with Karin to <strong>Elvis&#8217;</strong>. But don&#8217;t let silly bias keep you away. This is a <strong>fun place</strong> to party, all evening I&#8217;m sure, but certainly when other spots are shutting down and you just aren&#8217;t ready to give it up yet. Look for Karin and Elvis to perform from 9:30p-1:30a at <strong>Elvis&#8217; Restaurant &amp; Lounge</strong> Friday and Saturday nights. Great <strong>dance</strong> music. Italian Food. Open 24 hrs. <strong>No cover charge</strong> and the drinks are very reasonable ($3 beers.)</p>
<p>There is a<strong> DJ</strong> spinning from 2a &#8211; 6a for those of you who are looking to keep the party going all night. Special interest for Latinos is Monday night <strong>Noche Latinas Latin Karaoke</strong>. Elvis tries to keep the action going, so check our yourself what&#8217;s going on at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.elvislv.com">elvislv.com</a>. Previously <strong>Steve and David&#8217;s</strong>. 702-262-0001. <em>545 E. Sahara</em> Las Vegas.</p>
