The hostess greets us in pajamas and high heels. Classy yet comfortable—this is Sunday brunch after all.
Kerry Simon, head chef and partner at Simon at Palms Place, is no slouch at combining the best of both worlds. His Sunday brunch offers a full-spread buffet and hot-from-the-kitchen specials amid a backdrop of sunshine reflecting from the adjacent pool. It’s a happy, care-free Sunday morning. People wander in wearing shorts and sundresses, and the attentive wait staff—clad in t-shirts and pajama pants—are more than happy to pour a cup of freshly brewed coffee and point us toward the towering baskets of muffins and croissants.
Think Las Vegas is only about flashy casinos and glitzy shows? In actuality, the city has a very active community that seeks out the opportunity to cycle, hike and run whenever possible. As such, Las Vegas also has companies that support these outdoor adventurers with high-quality products serviced by high-quality employees.
No visit to Las Vegas is complete without seeing a show on the Strip. While your choice of shows is vast, chances are your short list includes the classics, including any of the six Cirque du Soleil shows, Blue Man Group, the Jersey Boys and Phantom of the Opera.
Remember that scene in Big where Tom Hanks made music on the oversized keyboard? Now it’s your turn!
Get out of Las Vegas with a moderately challenging hike in Ice Box Canyon at Red Rock. You’ll need a car to get you to Red Rock Canyon, but once you reach mile marker 8 on the 13-mile loop drive, you’ll need to rely on your legs to get you any further.
From the outside of the theatre, the Steve Wyrick show is intriguing. Painted saw blades hang around the gift shop area. Triq, an on-site bar with intimate seating, encourages people to cozy up for a drink or two before the show.
Nothing says chilax like a casual meeting spot to shuck oysters, drink a beer and play video poker. Downplayed and able to accommodate large gatherings and solo venturers, Shuck’s is a Las Vegas seafood restaurant perfect for winding down and wiling away the late-night hours. The atmosphere is right for casual dining and the menu caters to both those who love seafood and those who could do without.
