- In Las Vegas, it's on.
Because in the entertainment capital of the world,
it is always on.
Today, we're gonna flip the switch on the neon
to show you what's new, what's hot
and what you can't miss.
In our premiere episode,
we visit one of the Strip's hottest new cocktail lounges.
We'll travel Las Vegas Boulevard
to show you the perfect proposal spots for Valentine's Day,
and we'll give you the highlights
of the ultimate sports weekend in Vegas.
And if that doesn't fill you up,
we'll head to the one of the most unique dining experiences
in Las Vegas on Try This Dish.
It all happens here, and it's happening right now.
Welcome to "Vegas On."
(upbeat music)
Hello, everyone and thank you for joining us
as we launch "Vegas On,"
your guide to all of the shows,
sports, events and activities
going on right now in Las Vegas.
I'm your host, Terry Lashley.
Stay tuned to "Vegas On,"
because at the end of every episode,
we'll give you a complete list of shows, sports
and can't miss attractions and activities
to help you plan the perfect Las Vegas adventure.
I've got a dinner and a show
that's anything but a dinner and a show.
Let me introduce you to the wild and wonderful world
that is Superfrico at The Cosmopolitan.
(funky music)
- My name is Greisy Pacton, and we are at Superfrico
in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
(funky music)
Superfrico is the end all, be all, ultimate house party
where we try to break down the walls between
anything goes and fine dining.
The show is super fun, very different,
single world concept that complements the dining experience
when our guests come in here.
The interactions of the show bleed into the experience,
and guests don't know what's really happening next to them.
It's just kind of like this whole, just,
what the hell just happened next to me kind of experience.
So, we are an American Italian psychedelic concept.
One of our most unique dishes that we offer here
at Superfrico is going to be our table side mozzarella.
Nobody else in Vegas offers this unique dish.
(funky music)
The cart is rolled up to your table, and it is stretched.
It is fresh. It's made right in front of you.
(funky music)
One of the unique experiences that we offer here
at Superfrico is, any room that you enter,
you come in into a different experience.
You don't know what you're walking to.
One of the coolest rooms that we have,
one of the experiences that we offer
is going to be our ski lodge.
Our ski lodge is our secret room speakeasy.
There's a 1970s theme ski lodge where you walk in
and you can see the snow through the window.
You can hear the fireplace, and the cocktails
that we offer there are also unique to that specific room
with a throwback of the 1970s classic cocktails.
Ski lodge, you can come in at 2:00 in the morning
and have a pizza and a cocktail
or you can come in and have a shot ski,
and where else in Vegas can you do this?
(funky music)
- The month of February is getting off to quite the start
as superstar Garth Brooks takes over Dolby Live at Park MGM.
Rounding out the concert calendar this weekend
are Shinedown at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas,
Lionel Richie at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas,
and Kane Brown headlining T-Mobile Arena.
(upbeat music)
While the music stars are out in Vegas this week,
it's about to be a huge weekend for sports fans
here in the greatest arena on Earth.
Let's take it over to Brady Kannon
at Circa Hotel and Casino, where you'll find
one of the most impressive sports books on Earth.
(upbeat music)
- How about this place?
Stadium Swim, exactly what it sounds like.
It's stadium seating with six pools.
So, you're watching sports
from the comfort of a heated pool,
floating around with a cold beverage.
We're here with the director of operations
for Stadium Swim, Mike Pena.
- You couldn't ask for a a better office setting
and a better place to watch sports.
It's the country's largest outdoor
sports viewing pool amphitheater.
So, if you're gonna go outside and you wanna watch the game
and you want to come to Vegas and enjoy the summer sun,
or even the winter for that matter,
'cause all of our pools are heated up to a 104 degrees
if we want to, right?
So, they're comfortable year round, we're open year round.
- Now tell us about some of the other amenities here.
You've also got cabanas. You've got some gaming.
There's all kinds of other options, as well.
- Yeah, absolutely.
You know, so, Stadium Swim is a two tiered venue,
where the guests enter in on the upper level
and then descend down to the lower level.
We have a total of 28 cabanas and then,
on the sides of the venue that flanks them
is two large owner suites.
These are basically huge private bungalows
with en suite restrooms, courtyard viewing area,
can hold 30, 40 people, so, a really big party,
a great place to bring your entire party and friends
to come watch a game.
- Mike Pena, ladies and gentlemen,
the director of operations right here at Stadium Swim
at the Circa Resort and Casino.
And how 'bout the ultimate sports weekend happening?
It starts with college football,
the college stars of today, the pro legends of tomorrow,
showing off their skills in the East-West Shrine Bowl
at Allegiant Stadium.
Then, two days later, the best hockey players in the world
invade T-Mobile Arena for the NHL All Star Game.
Also, UFC Fight Night in Vegas
with Hermansson versus Strickland.
And then, the best players in the NFL,
they'll be here in Allegiant Stadium for the Pro Bowl.
What a weekend.
And if that wasn't enough for you,
how 'bout the next weekend?
This amazing circus, sports book, Stadium Swim,
all of Las Vegas will be buzzing.
And, speaking of the big game, Las Vegas was recently chosen
as the site for Superbowl 58,
taking place in February of 2024,
further proof that Las Vegas has certainly arrived
and is truly the greatest arena on Earth.
Back to you, Terry.
(upbeat music)
- What an amazing start to February in Las Vegas.
If you're planning to visit this month,
and thinking about popping the big question
around Valentine's Day, we've got you covered.
Let's check in with "Vegas On" correspondent, Dayna Roselli,
showing us all the hot spots in Las Vegas
to create a magical romantic moment.
- Las Vegas was always known for love
around Valentine's Day!
It's the number one destination for weddings,
but it's also a great place to propose
to that special someone.
I'm Dayna Roselli, here at the Eiffel Tower
at Paris Las Vegas,
and I'm gonna talk to Joy Matti about their proposal package
and why Paris Las Vegas is synonymous with love.
Joy, come on in and let's talk about this.
I know this is an important spot right here.
This is where the magic happens, right?
- Yes, this is one of our most popular proposal spots
on the property.
- [Dayna] I love it. I mean, what a backdrop, right?
- [Joy] Gorgeous.
- And, tell me about the proposal package.
What does it include for folks that are listening
and might be thinking, hm, maybe I'll do this?
- Yeah, absolutely.
So, you have a secret photographer,
one of our professional photographers will
kind of be lurking around and ready to capture
that special moment, and then, you can customize it
with flowers.
We can add music. So, it's just a really beautiful package.
- Now, this is one of the spots,
but there's somewhere else we need to go because
the package kind of continues.
The night continues, or the day continues, right?
- Absolutely, so we can actually head up the Eiffel Tower
and we pop proposals up there, as well.
(funky music)
- So, this is one of the spots that you can actually
do a proposal, or you can get married here, too, right?
- Absolutely. You can do either one.
- So, when you sign up for the proposal package,
you get to pick one of three spots.
So, we were down at the bottom. That's one.
And then, what's two, and this is three?
- Of course, so, there's also the beautiful bridge
that we kind of took on our way up here to the Eiffel Tower.
Some people wanna get married on that.
And then, up here on the Eiffel Tower is the third location.
And we also have 2/2222, so everybody's very excited.
We're extremely busy, so, February is gonna be
an amazing weddings month for Las Vegas.
They're about to issue 5 million licenses
here in the state of Nevada,
so there's gonna be big celebrations around that,
and it just, once again, shows that
we're the wedding capitol of the world.
- All right, I love it.
Listen, thanks for all the information.
It is definitely, you can feel it.
- Yes.
- Love is in the air. It's blowing right by.
(funky music)
- If you're looking to pop the question outdoors
with a scenic backdrop, Seven Magic Mountains
is just down the I-15 from The Strip,
or surround yourself with the natural beauty
of Red Rock Canyon.
Other proposal hot spots include high above Las Vegas
at Resorts World's Alle on 66 or The Foundation Room
at Mandalay Bay, iconic spots like the Bellagio Fountains
or gondolas at The Venetian, or during a romantic meal
at the Top of The World at The STRAT or Carbone inside ARIA.
Love is always in the air in Las Vegas!
- Before we get into our concert calendar,
it's time for our first Vegas hack.
This little piece of inside knowledge will come in handy
any time you pay a visit to Gatsby's.
(funky music)
- No trip to Gatsby's would be complete without trying
our signature cocktails or any of our secret menu items.
If you find this matchbook, if you scan the back,
you'll get access to our craft cocktail menu.
Right now, I'm gonna make you our number one cocktail,
which is the champagne bubble bath.
So, we'll start with our bath, getting ice in there as well.
For our juices, we're gonna use a half ounce of pineapple,
four ounce of lime.
We have an ounce of strawberry rose syrup.
Aperol is bitter rhubarb liqueur.
And then, obviously, Botanist gin.
We're gonna muddle in some blood orange,
add ice and give it a nice, hard shake.
Gonna wanna double strain this so there's no pulp in there.
Some straws.
No bubble bath would be complete without some duckies.
And then, the champagne.
(funky music)
Enjoy.
- Thank you so much, G. This looks amazing.
The matchbook at Gatsby's Cocktail Lounge,
now, that's a Vegas hack.
So, we love hooking you up with these hidden Vegas gems,
but that's just the beginning.
We're also excited to take you behind the scenes
for a sneak peek at some of the incredible production shows
that only the entertainment capital of the world
can deliver.
Sammy Hagar is with us now on "Vegas On."
Sammy, welcome.
What can your fans expect from a Sammy Hagar show
in Las Vegas?
- Well, first thing is, you don't know what to expect
because that's, I think that's half the beauty
of being able to play the same place every night.
The last six shows we did in October, November of last year,
we played ten of the six nights, maybe ten songs twice.
And the rest were all new songs.
One night, we played the whole first Montrose album.
Another night, we played 11 Van Halen songs
in what, it was like, you know, it's great.
- Seems like Sammy Hagar loves some Las Vegas,
but do you remember your first visit?
- Oh, man, oh, yes, I do.
I came to Las Vegas trying to get a job in a casino
with my band.
It was a cover band.
I mean, I had never written a song yet, right?
And I stopped at a, fifty cents.
I mean, it was like, okay.
I'm either gonna go get a cup of coffee and a donut,
or I'm gonna put it in this slot machine.
And I put it in the slot machine, and I won $50,
the first time I ever gambled in my life,
and was, like, $5 million to me right now.
And, I swear, I thought, man, when I get some money,
I'm gonna go there and really gamble and then, of course,
that didn't work out like that 50 cent piece did, you know.
- Looking forward to lots of Sammy in 2022 and beyond.
We appreciate your time.
