All great cities are defined by their distinctive neighborhoods, and Las Vegas is no exception. It\u2019s easy, of course, to gravitate to the Almighty Strip. But you\u2019ve got to step into the streets\u2014with boots or stiletto heels on the ground\u2014to become fully immersed in everything Vegas offers.<\/p>\n

I mean, why miss out on the pleasures of Downtown Las Vegas, the Arts District, Chinatown, <\/strong>and Area 15\u00a0<\/strong>in addition to The Strip<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty to do in suburban Summerlin (where I live) and Henderson. But the sizzle of urban environments is way more intoxicating.\u00a0 Here\u2019s my \u201cVegas Big 5\u201d list of areas where the city is most eclectic and unpredictable.<\/p>\n

Downtown Vegas\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s hard not to be attracted to the Fremont Street Experience<\/strong>\u2019s dizzying overhead digital video screen (the largest in the world). Or be fascinated by the open-air Container Park<\/strong>, with its reconverted metal cubes and shipping containers housing bars, retail stores, bars and eateries like the irresistibly tasty L.A.-originated\u00a0Pinches Tacos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t limit yourself to those places.<\/p>\n

I had a blast at Fremont Street East\u2019s super-intimate nightclub\/disco Cheapshot, <\/strong>which ramps up Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights with a must-see burlesque hoedown, \u201c<\/strong>Miss Behave\u2019s Mavericks.\u201d\u00a0Deliciously conceived by the show\u2019s MC\u2014ribald British-born performer, producer, and ringleader comic Amy Saunders\u2014it\u2019s the underground version of a high-end Vegas variety show, priced accordingly (only $39 per ticket).<\/p>\n

Tickets are available via the Cheapshot website through November 26;\u00a0<\/span>the show will go dark before returning in \u201cSpring 23.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The rotating female and male performers\u2014sexy, loose and downright fun\u2014will meet all your entertainment needs with their pole-dancing, hula-hooping, juggling and aerial acrobatic skills, plus intentionally goofy magic tricks and comedic monologues.<\/p>\n

These \u201cmavericks\u201d hold court on a postage stamp-sized stage, with some performers, including motormouth Saunders, spontaneously moving onto the top of the bar for some truly in-your-face action. Anything can happen at this freewheeling, fast-paced two-act revue, and watching it thrillingly felt like riding a roller coaster that could slip off the track at any moment. Tickets are available via the Cheapshot website through November 26.<\/p>\n

Why not start your evening at the distinguished Carson Kitchen<\/strong> around the block from Cheapshot? That\u2019s where in-crowders head for dynamic American cuisine. Their \u201cDevil\u2019s Eggs\u201d with crispy pancetta and caviar instantly reeled my wife and I in. We followed it with two other small plates\u2014a watermelon\/feta salad and the cauliflower with chermoula and harissa cashew butter\u2014plus the truly melt-in-your-mouth salmon with mango-lime salsa.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, if you\u2019re running low on cash, there\u2019s the towering American fast-food institution White Castle,<\/strong> where folks line up for their still-satisfying \u201coriginal sliders.\u201d I will always recommend White Castle, having lived near one in the Bronx, so I\u2019m delighted that Vegas has a few locations, with most open 24\/7.<\/p>\n

Arts District<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s exciting to watch the Arts District<\/strong>\u2014also known as 18b<\/strong>, signifying its number of blocks\u2014grow. However, the recent installation of parking meters on some streets is admittedly a buzzkill. The neighborhood\u2019s signature event is First Friday,<\/strong> where thousands show up on the first Friday of every month (since 2002) to browse the modern art galleries (with many housed in the Art Square <\/strong>building) and enjoy the outdoor scene with food trucks and music.<\/p>\n

But a more intimate way to tap into the \u201carty\u201d aspect of the area is by entering a converted warehouse across the street from The English Hotel<\/strong> for \u201cParticle Ink: Speed of Dark.\u201d\u00a0 <\/strong>It\u2019s a heady feast of art, technology, ambient music, and spiritual consciousness, with a loose narrative about the necessary balance of light and darkness in our world.<\/p>\n

\n

As you move from room to room, you\u2019re suspended in a child-like state of wonder while encountering surrealist actors, aerial performers, witty animated projections, and hypnotic lasers. As part of this interactive evening, I magically spray-painted \u201clight\u201d on a wall from a special can. After drawing crowds for months to this unlikely location, tickets are available for \u201cSpeed of Dark\u201d via the Particle Ink website through December 4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Looking for some goth in your life? The Saturday dance party \u201cScarlet Deepest Red Goth Night\u201d at the spacious three-room club Artifice<\/strong> won\u2019t disappoint you. The music pumps hard at this black celebration, thanks to DJs spinning goth favorites like Ministry and Depeche Mode. Visuals include iconic Bettie Page striptease films projected on the club\u2019s walls, and sometimes bands perform. Attendees with dark lipstick looked menacing when I was there, but they were really friendly.<\/p>\n

There are many standout restaurants in the area, including the proudly old-school Casa Don Juan,<\/strong> where it\u2019s fun to eat sopes, enchiladas, quesadillas and sip margaritas while people-watching from one of its many outside tables.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, scene-makers continue to make a beeline for Esther\u2019s Kitchen<\/strong>. That\u2019s the deservedly acclaimed Italian eatery from chef\/owner and all-around nice guy James Trees (he named the restaurant for his great aunt). Devouring their complimentary freshly baked hot bread will instantly remove any heavy load you\u2019re carrying around.<\/p>\n

Although everyone knows that the truly cool people only come out at night, you\u2019ll find them congregated for Esther\u2019s weekend brunch in broad daylight on the patio. Offerings like \u201cNutella and Orange French Toast\u201d and the \u201cPorchetta Benedict,\u201d with pepperonata, poached eggs, and calabrian chili hollandaise are memorable creations.<\/p>\n

Area15<\/h2>\n

Situated in an industrial area one mile west of Interstate 15, Area15 is technically not a \u201cneighborhood.\u201d But it has its own vibe and character. The original massive building, which opened in late 2020, is a breathtakingly lit art-smart funhouse with experiential art installations like surreal supermarket Omega Mart<\/strong>, Museum Fiasco,<\/strong> and Wink World<\/strong>, and live entertainment inside at The Portal<\/strong> (hello, \u201cextreme drag wrestling\u201d!) and outside on the ample grounds.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Hipper than anything in New York, Los Angeles or Miami, Area15 continues to impressively expand outside with attractions like the \u201cLiftoff\u201d<\/strong> ride, Lost Spirits Distillery <\/strong>(\u201cmodern Cirque show, rum distillery and cocktail party\u201d) and Illuminarium <\/strong>with its dazzling \u201c4K interactive projections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everyone hates Mondays, so why go out and party on Monday nights like there\u2019s no such thing as Tuesday? The folks at Area15 make this very enticing with their discount-friendly \u201cIndustry Mondays.\u201d With local ID, there\u2019s 25% off food and drinks at participating vendors, including the Oddwood Bar<\/strong> and Todd English\u2019s The Beast,<\/strong> with his reliably creative take on pizzas, burgers and barbecue meats.<\/p>\n

On a recent Monday night outing at Area15 with my wife, we boarded \u201cLiftoff\u201d to take in the sweeping Vegas skyline. Next, we experienced utter visual chaos by wandering through the sound-and-light attraction Museum Fiasco with 3D glasses. We dined at The Beast and had imaginative craft cocktails at the 2500-square-foot Oddwood Bar. That\u2019s where DJs spin EDM, and folks are entranced by the huge \u201cdigital maple tree\u201d whose \u201c5000 leaves are lined with individually programmed LED lights.\u201d After all that, it wasn\u2019t easy facing the mundane reality of Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Chinatown<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chinatown is one of the city\u2019s crown jewels. Centered on and around Spring Mountain Road, it\u2019s a sprawling three-plus mile stretch, with some 20 shopping plazas and more than 150 restaurants, per the \u201cChinatown Vegas website\u201d\u2014but honestly, who can keep up with these statistics when the area is infinitely growing?<\/p>\n

\"\"

My Chinatown staples are the soup dumplings at Xiao Lo Dumplings<\/strong>, the pad Thai at Lamaii<\/strong>, the pork banh mi at Orchid Vietnamese,<\/strong> and the popular Thai street food khanom krok at LaMoon<\/strong>\u00a0(hipster alert; it\u2019s open to 2:00 a.m.). Their dreamy coconut-rice pancakes (crispy outside, soft and warm inside) with toppings including corn, taro, and (odd but it works) green onions.<\/p>\n

The restaurants here are not limited to Asian food. Try the perfect spinach-and-cheese empanadas at the 25-year-old Rincon de Buenos<\/strong> Aires<\/strong>, the satisfying tacos and burritos at the La Jolla, CA-originated Taco Stand<\/strong>, and the juicy rotisserie chicken at the new and buzzed-about Half Bird Chicken & Beer. <\/strong>This casual eatery, in the you-can\u2019t-miss-it orange-and-yellow building at the corner of Wynn and Spring Mountain, is the brainchild of Brian Howard, the same chef\/owner of the nearby American cuisine-focused Sparrow + Wolf.<\/strong> I will be back for more of their chicken and elevated sides\u2014”ogarashi rolls, potatoes and brix’s mac’n cheese\u201d\u2014plus sauces like \u201cgreen curry ranch\u201d and \u201csweet miso bbq.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Strip<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s, of course, nowhere on the planet like The Strip.<\/strong> My idea of a great night out is first having dinner in the hotel where you\u2019re seeing an artist\u2019s show or one of the many astounding productions like Cirque du Soleil\u2019s still vital \u201cO\u201d at Bellagio <\/strong>and Cirque\u2019s fine magical mystery tour, \u201cBeatles LOVE,\u201d at The Mirage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Before recent gigs by Kenny Loggins and lethal comic Taylor Tomlinson at the Encore Theatre<\/strong> at the Wynn<\/strong>, I dined at the hotel\u2019s Allegro<\/strong> and Casa Playa<\/strong>, respectively. Allegro impressed with its \u201cFoccacia Pizza\u201d (an Italian\/Jewish merger with mozzarella, cream cheese, and smoked salmon) and \u201cPotato Gnocchi,\u201d paired with an excellently blended pork, veal, and beef bolognese, burrata cheese, and pine nut pesto. Every bite also counts at the posh Mexican eatery Casa Playa. Its scene-stealing dish is the succulent \u201cShrimp and Green Rice Epazote,\u201d followed closely behind by the \u201cChicken Tinga Enchiladas Crema.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a beautiful fall night when Aerosmith was performing at the\u00a0Park MGM<\/b>, we first ate outside on the Strip-side patio of Eataly\u2019s La Pizza e La Pasta<\/b> We split the \u201cInsalata Tricolore\u201d and the home-run pasta dish, “Vesuvio Con Asparagi E Guanciale.\u201d From there, we walked over to the hotel\u2019s expansive Dolby Live venue to see the bad boys from Boston (and my former PR clients) still getting drunk on the fountain of youth; with their supersonic dirty blues, they also make their audience feel young and reckless again. The band\u2019s \u201cDeuces Are Wild\u201d residency\u00a0goes through December 11 (it\u2019s billed as their \u201cfinal Vegas shows\u201d).<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s \u201cDeuces Are Wild\u201d residency starts up again on November 19 and goes through December 11 (it\u2019s billed as their \u201cfinal Vegas shows\u201d).<\/p>\n

Still More To Explore<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are even more areas to explore in Vegas, like New Orleans Square\u2014<\/strong>an array of buildings with art galleries, eclectic retail stores like Avantpop Books,<\/strong> and a museum, The Office of Collecting and Design<\/strong>–in the Commercial Center <\/strong>area.<\/p>\n

Now that it\u2019s fall, minus the challenging summer heat, it\u2019s a good time to get out of your car and check out places you haven\u2019t been to or even noticed before. It\u2019s all about adventure and discovery in the big city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
