Many New Restaurants – Central Michel Richard, Las Vegas Chocolate Shop, Lobster ME, 35 Steaks + Martinis, Public House at Venetian

As one door closes, several new ones to restaurants have or will open. In light of customers opting to spend a little less on dining out, the Vegas restaurant scene has shifted appropriately to include affordably-priced dining experiences. Famous Washington, DC chef Michel Richard recently made his Vegas debut Wednesday with 24-hour cafe Central Michel Richard, the first all-hours cafe created by a James Beard award-winner. Central Michel Richard is in the main lobby of Caesars Palace and serves Richard’s signature California-French food.

Vegas Rod Stewart

Can a 66-year-old man kicking soccer balls into the crowd and singing songs about legs and sexiness fill up 52 shows in two years? We’re all about to find out. Legendary entertainer Rod Stewart began his two-year run at Caesars Wednesday with a show simply titled, “The Hits,” featuring nine of his very best songs, including “Hot Legs,” “You’re in My Heart,” and “Every Picture’s Worth a Story.” Stewart is backed by a nine-piece band and three vocalists, and has massive LED screens and a smaller one in front of him. He even kicks soccer balls into the crowd during “Hot Legs,” a tribute to the Celtic Football Club he enjoys supporting. Stewart, who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, will be playing at the Colosseum during the next two years on and off, and we wish him the best.
