Spring in Your Step
With spring fully in the air, odds are you’re feeling a lot more energy. And that’s a good thing, because this week you’re going to need it! Las Vegas has got so much lined up for you to experience, and we’ve tried to pack as much of it in this week’s issue of Las Vegas Magazine as possible.
Entertainment options are plentiful this week, from the absolutely fantastic adults-only show Fantasy: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease, which is approaching its 25th anniversary at Luxor (“In the Flesh,” p. 32), and Tournament of Kings at Excalibur, which has been entertaining families for more than 30 years (“Knights of Wonder,” p. 12), to Scorpions, returning this week to continue its successful run of concerts at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood (“Still Loving Them,” p. 34).
Despite the crazy number of restaurants on the Strip, new ones are opening every week. We’ve outlined some of the newest arrivals, as well as some longtime favorites, at FSLV—Fashion Show Las Vegas (“For Every Taste,” p. 18). Any brunch fans? For a great one, head to Alexxa’s at Paris Las Vegas (“Beautiful Brunch,” p. 28). Love the Cronut? Dominique Ansel, the man who invented it, has an eponymous bakery at Caesars Palace (“The Cronut Connection,” p. 40).
For some nightlife fun, Eight Lounge at Resorts World Las Vegas, which already has an amazing cigar collection, has added the coveted House of Hazelwood whiskey lineup (“A Night of Fancy,” p. 14). And check out our roundup of some of the newest nightlife (and much more) experiences in town (“Get in the Know, Now!” p. 24).
And speaking of spring, you don’t want to miss the latest seasonal display at the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens (“The Prettiest Party,” p. 36 ).
Time to put that energy to good use. Enjoy!

Knights of Wonder
Strip family production has been creating medieval memories for more than 30 years
How much do we love Tournament of Kings, the long-running family-friendly medieval production at Excalibur? Let us count the numbers over its 30-plus years:
• 15 million-plus: Number of Cornish game hens served to guests over the show’s 30-plus-year history (all foods at this production are meant to be eaten with your hands).
• 75,000: Cubic feet of wood shavings used each year inside the venue’s horse stables, ensuring each equine is as comfortable as possible (all the horses live on-property in 19 stalls).
• 150: Weight in tons of hay consumed by the show’s horses each year.
• 50: Weight in tons of soil added to the Tournament of Kings arena every year.
• 47: Number of people who are responsible for bringing each and every performance to vivid life (20 crew including audio, pyrotechnic, lighting, wardrobe and stage technicians, and 27 cast members including King Arthur, Merlin, riders, fighters and dancers).
• 20: Battle props used during each performance (13 swords, four short swords, two ball and chains, and one axe).
• Six: Lance tips sheared off during jousting in each performance.
What makes this show so singular among the offerings on the Strip is its audience participation element. Before the show even starts, you’ll be seated in one of the different “country” sections (including Austria, France, Hungary, Ireland, Sweden, Spain and Romania), which automatically gives you a feeling of inclusion. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll be rooting for your country once the games begin!
The games themselves involve everything from javelin tossing and jousting to racing and swordplay, and, after some coaching by the master of ceremonies, you either bang on your table or raise your hands and shout “Huzzah!”
In addition to the aforementioned poultry, your meal also includes potatoes, seasonal vegetables and a dinner roll (menus can be adjusted for vegans, kids, those with gluten allergies and more). Adults can enjoy an adult beverage, and even though the meal is meant to be eaten sans flatware, you can definitely request it if need be. –

A Night of Fancy
Cigar and cocktail lounge now offers House of Hazelwood whiskey collection
Lovers of brown spirits and cigars should begin an affair with Eight Lounge. The chic, 7,000-square-foot cigar and cocktail lounge impresses the minute you walk through the doors, with an abundance of club chairs and coffee tables, bar seating and a 2,200-square-foot outdoor terrace with lush surroundings. It’s easy to imagine spending hours here.
To the left is the walk-in humidor and retail space selling top cigar brands with more than 150 selections ranging in prices from a reasonable $14 all the way up to $5,000. Peruse more than 60 different brands that include standouts like Cohiba “Weller” edition, Padrón 50th Anniversary, Gurkha “His Majesty’s Reserve” and Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Series, as well as more recognizable names such as Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, Herrera Esteli, El Septimo and Plasencia.
Ask your server or bartender to recommend a cigar and cocktail pairing like the popular Arturo Fuente Opus X Perfecxion 888 cigar alongside a classic Irish coffee or the carajillo cocktail paired with an Undercrown cigar.
The selection of brown spirits at Eight Lounge would make many other bar programs green with envy and even more so now with the debut
of the renowned House of Hazelwood collection recently added to the menu. The rare collection from the Dufftown family of distillers in Scotland includes eight selections: The Lowlander 36-year-old blended Scotch whiskey ($325 per pour); The Eight Grain 40-year-old blended grain Scotch whiskey ($400); A Breath of Fresh Air 37-year-old blended Scotch whiskey ($475); A Trail of Smoke 42-year-old blended malt Scotch whiskey ($625); The Unknown 44-year-old blended Scotch whiskey ($1,000); The Old Confectioner’s 44-year-old blended Scotch whiskey ($1,000); The Next Chapter 50-year-old blended Scotch whiskey ($1,200); and A Singular Blend Vintage Cask 1963 blended Scotch whiskey ($1,400). Treat yourself with the $2,500 special, which includes a flight of the entire collection!
Eight Lounge rounds out the experience with live music on Friday nights and a rotating lineup of DJs on Saturday nights, all beginning at 9 p.m. till late. And don’t leave if your party begins to feel a little hungry, as Eight offers an exclusive menu of small plates from next-door restaurant Brezza. –Kiko Miyasato

Las Vegas Strip store offers flavors like no other Drizzle
You probably have a few spirits that you already love, but why not add a touch of flavor? At Spirits & Spice in The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, near the Strip-facing entrance of the retail center, you’ll find a vast array of infused libations, including flavors you never would have imagined.
Carefully sourced from distilleries and manufacturers across the globe (and sometimes even produced in small batches exclusively for Spirits & Spice), the products you’ll find here make perfect
pregame beverages or gifts for adventurous friends and families.
If you’re a fan of dark liquors, you’ll be delighted by choices like Pinhook small batch bourbon, Swiss Alpine single malt or the Scotch whiskey set, which contains three 100-milliliter bottles of popular Scotches. Light liquors like vodka and gin offer all kinds of unique flavors, such as chai tea vodka, while the liqueur collection here boasts almost unheard-of profiles like grandma’s apple crisp and rose petal. For those who’d rather not im-
bibe, infused oils and balsamic vinegars, as well as handmade spice mixes, await. Making the shopping experience especially fun, you can taste everything before you buy. Simply ask an associate for some help and they will not only pour you a sample, but also share some insightful information about the products and possibly even help you pick a few flavors to mix.

For Every Taste
From casual to inspired elegance, find many types of dining options at retail center
If you’re looking for choice for your next meal, check out FSLV— Fashion Show Las Vegas, which sports a large variety of cuisine at revered Las Vegas venues and new establishments, from steaks and seafood to pizza, too.
The newly opened Emmitt’s Vegas takes some of the legendary Pro Football Hall of famer Emmitt Smith’s favorite American dishes and presents them in an elegant environment looking out on the Las Vegas Strip. On the ground level of the FSLV Plaza, the venue features quality steaks, caviar service, seafood towers, sushi and more.
The casual Happy Camper, a collaboration between Happy Hospitality and Lettuce Entertain You, is also on the first Plaza level, a dynamic, open-air space with glittery disco balls overhead and pizza on the menu. Dig into inventive pies with such toppings as blackened chicken, roasted corn, prosciutto and artichoke heart (not necessarily on the same pie), quaff some potent cocktails, beer or wine, and have a good time. Plus, the Struggle Bus Brunch (pictured) on Saturday and Sundays was just introduced for morning people.
Tucked back on the Plaza, look for El Segundo Sol, Lettuce Entertain You’s Mexican hot spot that features a patio with plants draped everywhere and a vibrant interior based on Tulum that just makes you happy. Add a margarita (yes!) to skillet queso, fajitas, corn fritters and plenty of taco platters.
Up on the third level is The Capital Grille, a classy restaurant that’s garnered many local Vegas fans over many years in Las Vegas. Dishes here are delightful as is the lovely dining room, which features two-story windows looking out on the Strip. Among the inviting menu items are French onion soup and lobster mac and cheese, with a sauce created with three cheeses and cream, and pasta that has been sautéed with poached lobster.
And for a hidden secret, head to Jeannie’s, nestled in Nordstrom, where you can indulge in gourmet pizza and several grilled sandwiches known as “toasties.” There’s also a full bar, so indulging in a drinky-poo while taking a break from shopping is definitely doable. –Nina King

You’re likely to see the world in an entirely new way after a visit to ARTE MUSEUM. This incredibly unique, transportive attraction brings the latest visual, audio and olfactory technologies together in a glorious way, creating an extremely relaxing, tranquil space where meditation and reflection are not only encouraged, but are also practically guaranteed.
Created by Korea-based digital design company d’strict, ARTE MUSEUM re-creates nature scenes in a way that feels a bit disorienting at first. In one room, you’ll find yourself at the bottom of a towering waterfall; in another, you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of a forest as its creatures romp and play around you; in another, you’re standing on a shore as waves crash and roll in. (It’s so convincing, you might be tempted to take your shoes off!)
If you’re on the fence about whether to bring the kids, check this out: At one installation featuring a screen with unique animals that inhabit a jungle, your child can sit at a table and, with crayons, draw their own unique animal. That drawing is given to a museum employee, who will scan it. Then look up at the screen: Your child’s drawing has been brought to digital life, joining the other animals. It’s an extremely cool, personal touch that makes each visit to ARTE MUSEUM unique for each visitor. –Ken Miller

Getting Warmed Up
Start your night on the town right at this stadium-adjacent venue with convenient parking
Whether you’ve got tickets to an upcoming concert, sporting event or other special event at Allegiant Stadium, there’s now an alternative to parking directly at the venue or taking an Uber—WSKY Stadium , a restaurant and bar about as close as you can get to the stadium without actually being there, and one with ample parking, meaning you can enjoy a stadium event with easy ingress and egress. And best of all, you’ll enjoy a fun dining experience with great beers and cocktails.

Start your experience here by parking in one of the 638 spots available (free on nonevent days). From there, it’s easy access to WSKY Stadium, where you’ll get striking views of the home of the Raiders while enjoying a large range of craft and draft beers, not to mention cocktails like the amazing Frey Frog, a unique sipper featuring locally produced Frey Ranch bourbon, honey syrup and bitters, all finished with a fog of smoke.
Menu highlights include the Italian Grinder, a sandwich piled high with
salami, ham, spicy capicola, smoked provolone and more on French bread, the Are You In Or Are You Out sliders, two double-patty mini burgers with American cheese and all the fixings (plus “secret sauce”), and the Green Goddess pizza, featuring pesto cream sauce, mozzarella, fried green tomatoes and arugula, all drizzled in balsamic. –Ken Miller

Check out the latest in cocktails, lounges, parties and fun across the city
With so many options in Las Vegas, many visitors still find themselves asking, “Where should we go? What should we do?” That’s where Las Vegas Magazine comes in. If you’re itching to go out and have some fun but can’t seem to narrow down the choices, we’ve rounded up some great options for you.
Who likes to swing (a golf club, that is)? Check out the newly opened Atomic Golf at The STRAT. With four floors and 103 golfing bays, guests can test their swing skills through stateof-the-art golf technology and games. The 100,000-square-foot venue also boasts six bars, exclusive dining menu, VIP suites, digital putting bays and wall-to-ceiling, high-def LCD displays for sports viewing. The golf theme continues downtown at Circa Resort & Casino’s massive pool complex, Stadium Swim . From April 11-14, guests can catch the Augusta golf tournament being broadcast on the 143-foot-tall screen. The “Fore the Win!” viewing party—open to those 21 and over with general admission tickets starting at $25—also offers specially themed cocktails and a fairway-inspired menu of pimento cheese sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches and more.
Other newly opened venues ready for partiers to revel include The Pinky Ring by Bruno Mars at Bellagio. This cocktail lounge was designed by the music star himself and evokes the vibes and look of an upscale Las Vegas party penthouse suite. Highlights include a distinct cocktail menu and a stage for live entertainment (Mars, his band The Hooligans and various music-industry friends have been known to stop by for impromptu performances). Also new to the Strip is the Glass Bar at Planet
Hollywood. This beautiful lounge in the heart of the casino floor offers a fabulous cocktail program and the perfect spot to party before or after a concert at nearby Bakkt Theater, or simply a great spot for friends to enjoy a night out while catching a game on one of the many TV screens. For those that want to go off Strip, head to local favorite Silverton Casino Lodge for its new popup bar, Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, at the Shady Grove Lounge. The entire space is transformed into the world of Alice in

Wonderland with colorful, over-the-top décor, specially themed craft cocktails and small plates, and a really cool puzzle hunt where guests can search for answers throughout the bar and be entered to win a staycation. The popup experience is offered every Friday through Sunday from 5-10 p.m.
For some nightclub vibes, head to Drai’s at The Cromwell every Tuesday night for its new series, “On a Tuesday,” where special R&B stars put on a fullblown concert experience. This week, on April 9, catch DJ Pee .Wee (AKA Anderson .Paak).
April 9 is also National Gin & Tonic Day, and various venues across the city are celebrating with specials on gin and tonic cocktails. At Proper Bar at Aria, order the Gin-Z with Botanist gin, Aperol and Martini & Rossi prosecco, or the I Love You Mary Jane with Bombay Sapphire gin, fresh mint, agave and lemon. At Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge at Resorts World Las Vegas, go classic with Gatsby’s Gin & Tonic, made with Bombay Sapphire gin and your choice of Fever-Tree tonic in flavors like cucumber or elderflower and topped with grapefruit, rosemary and black peppercorns. Yum!
Last on our list, with the weather heating up in Las Vegas, don’t miss checking out Minus 5 Icebar—with locations at The Venetian, The Linq Promenade and Mandalay Bay—for its newly offered Dole Whip booze-infused cocktails. The famous Dole Whip is mixed with three new cocktails like the PB&V with Skrewball whiskey,
Dole Whip vanilla soft serve and Butterfinger candy bits; the Going Bananas with Howler Head whiskey, Dole Whip soft serve, Chamoy chili sauce, Tajín chili powder and banana chips; and the Apple Pie with Crown Royal Regal apple whiskey, Fireball cinnamon whiskey, Dole Whip vanilla soft serve and cinnamon. –Kiko Miyasato

Joseph Kent
Director and curator helps to preserve Las Vegas history
Like a bartender who keep drinks flowing and a manager who keeps a restaurant running smoothly, Joseph Kent, the deputy director and curator of Atomic Museum, keeps history living. Atomic Museum “is the one-stop shop to learn about everything nuclear-related, especially with Las Vegas and Nevada’s role in that testing,” Kent says.
Kent, who has had a love for museums and history since he was young, discovered the Atomic Museum when he
was in grad school (for public history) and went to a conference in Canada, where one of the museum’s former directors was lecturing. “I had no idea that Nevada had any relationship to nuclear testing, let alone this expansive. It really intrigued me and I wanted to learn more.”
Kent interned at Atomic Museum in 2013 and was hired that year as the director of education. He took a few years away but returned in 2019 and recently accepted his current position. As deputy

director, he says, “I make sure we’re preserving the history of this site, telling the stories of former test site workers and also making sure guest experience is topnotch. And on the curator side, I oversee the collection of artifacts.”
His career, he says, is “100 percent a passion … I never in a million years growing up in rural western Pennsylvania thought that I’d be working for a national museum in Las Vegas. Sometimes I do need to pinch myself.” –Kiko Miyasato

Alexxa’s accents menu with delicious new options
As if the notion of brunch with great views wasn’t enticing enough, the Stripside Alexxa’s at Paris Las Vegas recently introduced a number of new dishes, which makes the whole shebang even better.
For many people, brunch starts with a drink, like bottomless mimosas, of which the restaurant has three varieties: pineapple, cranberry and trusty orange. That’s accompanied by another traditional brunch favorite, the Bloody Mary. There are also three
Nosh 28 | 4.7.24 Las Vegas Magazine

The Colossal Bloody Mary
Bloody Mary varieties here: The Roman, with house-made spicy vodka, celery, lime, tomato, a spicy filthy olive and celery, you know, the whole salad; the Farmer’s Market, which goes it one better with bacon-infused gin, bacon and cheese; and The Colossal, a monster of a Mary with basil-infused vodka, king crab leg, peppered bacon, pickled peppers, okra, tomato, olive … the ingredients just keep coming. If you tend to get a little peckish before your starters, this is for you!
For those starters, I recommend the hummus. It comes with balloon bread, a light, pu ed-up round of baked dough that works perfectly for chickpea dip, accented by garlic, lemon and za’atar, a spice blend that teases your tongue. Grilled banana bread with orange marmalade and brown sugar butter is as decadent as it sounds. Opt for a salad—the traditional caprese with tomatoes and burrata is a solid choice, as is the BLT, a take on a wedge with gem lettuce, bacon, blue cheese crumbles and heirloom cherry tomatoes.
Time for full-on brunch mode: classic chicken and wa es with bourbon maple syrup; a stack of pancakes covered in blueberry compote, butter and Chantilly cream; and huevos rancheros, where your over-easy eggs are accompanied by chicken, black beans, tortilla, pico de gallo, queso fresco—just all of the good stu . Alexxa’s Cinnaroll wa e has been on the menu for years now, and with good reason. If you’re wondering if this wa e really tastes like a cinnamon bun, my answer is, yes! It’s covered in blueberries, raspberries and candied pecans, plus cream cheese frosting for that extra touch.
I’ve never been a huge grits fan, but that stando shness ended when
702.331.5100
I tried Alexxa’s, deceptively simple using white, stone-milled grits, white cheddar, Cajun seasoning and chives, combining for a super creamy mouthful. They are on the menu as shrimp & grits with Cajun-seasoned black tiger shrimp and bacon, so imagine that. The veggie omelet comes stu ed with spinach, tomato, onions, peppers and mushrooms—it’s like it was designed with all my favorite foods. And of course, breakfast potatoes on the side. Other options include
a meat-lovers omelet with bacon, sausage and Italian ham, and the signature omelet with blue crab and asparagus. If you prefer a more lunch-y option, the margherita pizza is super flavorful, with fresh mozz and roasted tomatoes.
One of my favorite tricks at breakfast is to order French toast for dessert. Here, the brioche French toast is covered in a wild berry coulis and powdered sugar. Pour on the syrup! You can take it.

Fantasy: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease dances toward its 25th anniversary
There are some 2,000 rhinestones adorning each brassiere that the ladies of Fantasy: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease wear for the opening number of the topless revue, a fact that quickly becomes moot as the eight dancers remove the sparkling bras and are individually introduced by emcee/vocalist Lorena Peril. Several of the ravishing cast members performing on a Sunday night at Luxor are in the 2024 Fantasy calendar, including flamehaired French enchantress Gigi (March), New York City siren Abby (May) and Minnesota marvel Ashton (cover).
want to give my best performance at all times.”

April’s calendar girl is onstage, too, and sizzles during the next number that calls for her to join two dancers in bed for a playful tryst. Erica saunters around the metal frame bed before making a fierce spin that immediately defines her stage persona. Each Fantasy dancer has a distinct personality that sets her apart from her seven stage sisters. Erica is a dynamo with barely contained Aries energy, whipping her long, honey-blonde, highlighted hair around with seeming abandon and exuding confidence in every move.
“There’s bite. There’s an aggressiveness, like in the best of ways,” Erica says of her approach in an interview with Las Vegas Magazine “I put so much energy and strength in my dancing, and I just love going so full out because … we’re onstage. It’s hard not to. I
Erica says she auditioned for Fantasy and joined the cast in March after establishing her career in her native Massachusetts. Tonight, she’ll play prominent roles in existing numbers and newer ones, including one that features her singing in the show for the first time. Exuberant Abby, with her trademark blonde bob, and dark-tressed temptress Rachael will join her in bed. She’ll perform peeka-boo bit “Solo” with Ashton and Gigi, and be the only dancer of the evening to take it all off during one fleeting moment.
Like the rest of the cast, Erica makes complex choreography look effortless. Ever-present smiles
may distract from the fact that an inestimable amount of hard work is behind every performance. “It’s a lot. I learned this show in five days,” says Erica. “One thing I do pride myself in is how well I’m able to pick up choreography and remember it fast. It’s not an easy task as a dancer.”
Hours of repetition in rehearsal and review are why each step is smooth and each segment segues with ease into the next. Peril, who makes melismatic magic during a performance of “I Put a Spell on You,” is the hype mistress in charge of encouraging people to stand up and dance, and keeps things lively and fun.
The dancers complement the show with personal expression. “There’s that classic showgirl look-essencevibe onstage, and I want keep that,” says Erica. “But I also want to add my own flavor, my own essence, to all the choreo and the performances as a whole. I feel my Aries-ness—if that’s even a word—my fire, kind of comes out.”

Scorpions are back to pay
tribute to a classic album
Scorpions’ resumption of its Las Vegas residency at Bakkt Theater isn’t just singer Klaus Meine’s return to the stage after spinal surgery. The hard rock band from Hanover, Germany, plans to play classic Scorpions album
Love at First Sting in full, from opening track “Bad Boys Running Wild” to closing power ballad “Still Loving You” and everything in between. It’s the precursor to a proper tour celebrating
the band’s 60th anniversary of rocking fans like a hurricane while riding the wind of change.
It’s also a chance to make puns out of Scorpions song titles while the band is still active. Guitarist Matthias Jabs, the youngest of the First Sting album-era members currently in the band, will turn 70 next year during the anniversary tour if it runs through
By MATT KELEMEN

May. Meine’s voice is one of the most durable of his generation, still capable of hitting the high notes in “Big City Nights” at Bakkt shows without any discernible loss of power.
Guitarist Rudolf Schenker, the band’s leader, demonstrated the same level of physicality at Bakkt that he did at Scorpions’ historic performances at 1983’s Us Festival and the inaugural Rock in Rio festival in 1985. It was
in that era that Scorpions went from becoming rock stars to superstars after more than 15 years of building its career concert by concert, album by album.
Schenker’s tastes in guitar-driven ’60s rock bands such as The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds and The Rolling Stones influenced the sound Scorpions developed and fi rst put on record in 1972 with Lonesome Crow. Schenker’s younger brother Michael, a fiery
forefather to the guitar shredders of the ’80s, left the band in 1973 to be replaced by enigmatic Uli Jon Roth, who was in turn followed by Jabs.
Jabs was the fi nal ingredient in the recipe for success. He was fluent in guitar pyrotechnics but applied his talent with taste, serving the songs of Scorpions perfectly beginning with 1979’s Lovedrive. By the time of 1982’s Blackout, the stars had aligned. Hard rock was cool, MTV was established, and Scorpions had a cinematic-quality video for “No One Like You” that was perfect for heavy rotation.
8 p.m. April 11, 13, 18, starting at $59 plus tax and fee. ticketmaster.com
Then, 40 years ago, Love at First Sting was released and Scorpions became an institution. “Rock You Like a Hurricane” became an MTV hit, Scorpions songs were all over American radio and made spandex look cool. If mainstream music fans had one hard rock cassette in the glove boxes of their Ford Escorts and Chevy trucks, it was likely released by Scorpions in the fi rst half of the decade.
The members of Scorpions went on to fi nd themselves drawn into the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall, with 1991 song “Wind of Change” becoming an anthem to millions of fans for whom listening to Western music could draw state-sponsored scrutiny. Scorpions were one of the fi rst bands to play in the former Soviet Union and its satellite states, kicking open a door that remains open for touring bands today.

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens’ latest display pours a cup
of spring cheer
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens has had many beautiful exhibits over the years, but the newest spring display may be one of the prettiest. Tea and Tulips features an array of huge teapots, with pastel tones accented by live flowers and larger-than-life blooms reflecting spring’s floral abundance.
The inspiration for this exhibit, says designer Ed Libby, are the teas often found at fancy tea parties: rose hip, chamomile, lavender and ginger peach. Each bed in Bellagio’s atrium is themed around one of the flavors. “Our spring display is a harmonious blend of immersive set design, botanically enhanced decor and natural elements, brought together to create a magnificent tea party that weaves a story of springtime themes,” he said in a news release.
Da odils, tulips, pansies, carnations, roses, wisteria, hibiscus, lavender and pansies populate the beds around the attraction. In the West Bed, an enormous teapot with cunning feet and lid, covered in roses, gems, colorful swags and flower garland around the rim, pours out a stream
of rose hip tea into a cup floating on a delicate pool. The bed is packed with other details, like the crescent moon floating in the sky. A young girl relaxes there, as tea from her pot trickles down a mountain below her. And is that a sugar bowl and creamer set to match the pot? One nestles

dinner from Michael Mina, in two sittings Wednesday to Sunday. Reservations are required for both experiences.
The other beds are as spectacular, with a di erent color palette for each tea-inspired area. The East Bed’s path, flanked by waist-high flowers and teacups leading to an elegant gazebo, is covered in peachand-orange flowers, vines and garlands. On the way, two ladies in fancy dress o er passersby a cup. In the South Bed, the essence of lavender infuses the scene–
Want a remembrance of your visit? Head to The Giardini Garden Store next to the atrium, where a new Tea Garden fragrance infuses green tea, lilac, black pepper, bergamot and cardamon into candles and reed di users.
purple wisteria drapes over arches and the bed, while a violet teapot with a cutout scene of hummingbird eggs provides a vibrant window to a fantasy world and pours its contents into a cup floating on a pool. Where are the hummingbird parents? Why, to each side, making sure you properly appreciate the lavender loveliness, while they sip the nectar of massive hibiscus and pansy blooms.

Blossoms of all types cover the North Bed, with da odils, roses, mimosa blooms
and greenery surrounding a final pool. On the lid of the teapot, a bunny and girl sit in concentrated conversation. A cutout reveals a treat to sweeten the chamomile tea inside. An item to note about the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is that all the water used in the exhibit comes from Bellagio’s wells (which are fed from rain and recycled water) and is reused throughout the resort, which makes the exhibit seem even more beautiful.

Dominique Ansel Las Vegas features iconic confections straight from the mind of the chef
Chef Dominique Ansel doesn’t dream about pastry, but that’s because he requires little sleep. The French-born master of flaky cakes and creamy confections thinks about his work constantly. It’s more productive preoccupation than obsession, a dedication to craft that is all-consuming and part of Ansel’s destiny.
How could he not optimize the ingredients of ability, vision and opportunity presented to him by the machinations of fate?
Ansel is, of course, the creator of the Cronut, the hybrid of croissant and donut that debuted in New York City more than a decade ago. At his Caesars Palace shop, Dominique Ansel Las Vegas, you’ll find themed Cronuts that change every month. Dominique Ansel Bakery, where the Cronut was conceived, opened
13 years ago this year. The iconic invention came to be after Ansel’s girlfriend, now his wife and business partner, asked him to create a donut for Mother’s Day.
“I’m French. I had no recipe for donuts,” says Ansel, who only had four employees at the time. “She insisted enough that I ended up doing something. Or course I grew up eating croissants. I loved the idea of having the layer of croissant in a donut shape, and I worked on something that didn’t work well in the beginning, but I knew was a good idea.”
A lot of New Yorkers thought it was a good idea, too. It took time and many revisions for Ansel to be satisfied, but the Cronut went viral quickly after its debut. Customers came in droves.
“We made 35 the first day, next day we made 45,” recalls Ansel. By the third day, some 150 people lined up before the bakery opened. “It was stressful. Worrisome. People were not happy. People were complaining, but it’s New York.”
There are more than enough Cronuts to make customers happy at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas. The dining area and displays are immaculate, save for the flakes of pastry that inevitably fall on the white tables and the floor.
Ansel’s popular DKA, a Breton butter cake with caramelized crispy crust, is easy to find alongside chocolate tacos
with hazelnut praline and chocolate Chantilly cream; pistachio rolled ice cream with an orange blossom almond biscuit; and mini Madeleines, cute, tasty little shell-shaped cookies that come in a 20-pack.
The gooey, ganache-filled Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich and Banana Split are more multilayer experiences than dessert, while Chocolate Chip Cookie Shots are homemade Madagascan vanilla milk.
Precision guides Ansel’s hand and gives him the discipline to accomplish, but it’s the reaction to his results that inspire him. “Food has the power to bring you back to a moment in time. It connects you with emotions, with people,” he says, recalling a frozen s’mores item, fashioned for a summer menu, that was torched in front of customers before being served. “You hand it to them, and they bite into it and see marshmallow, and they smile. They’re like kids again.”
