Shows at The Flamingo nowadays include Wayne Newton, a burlesque show,
RuPaul's Drag Race Live
and Piff the Magic Dragon.
Now we're going to go head up north towards downtown Las Vegas.
Got a few really cool spots to check out.
And ultimately,
we're going to end up at the Neon Boneyard and then, a very special dessert.
But first...
Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra just came
on, and Stephen is hilarious with this song.
So, this place is a little fancier than we were expecting.
I mean, It's a steak house.
It's where people like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, Marilyn Monroe,
even Mario Andretti used to be a regular here.
So, I guess I should have anticipated
that it would be fancy.
But, you know, we're not the only ones
who aren't completely dressed up, so I don't feel too bad about it.
Plus, we're Californian.
We're casual, right?
As fancy restaurants
tend to be, it's also not very budget friendly.
Originally we just planned to come here for dessert,
but, we got pretty caught up running around Fremont Street
and we haven't eaten for several hours.
So, we're gonna go ahead and splurge and get some real food.
Then we'll come back to you
when the dessert comes around.
So, thank goodness when the waiter came by to tell us
the specials, I went ahead and mentioned that we're pescatarian.
Because, I ordered
the French Onion soup and a twice-baked potato, thinking that would be safe.
It turns out the twice baked potato has bacon in it,
and the French onion soup is made with beef stock.
I'm gonna and bite the bullet and get the French onion soup,
because there really aren't that many options otherwise.
And he went ahead and said that they would make the baked potato
for me without the bacon.
But, we're kind of laughing now, because this is a steak house.
So these guys have to be back here scratching their heads, going, "What
the HECK are these vegetarian/pescatarian people doing in a steak house?"
And Igot to be honest, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't so well
known with the classic vintage Vegas crowd.
I'm Ricardo.
I'm gonna be making your bananas foster.
I have some melted butter already in the pan.
And do some brown sugar.
Banana liquor.
Just a little bit of lemon zest.
We're gonna do more orange zest in this one.
O.J.
Anchovies.
Just kidding!
And some fire.
No people around so I can make it a little bit bigger.
Cinnamon.
I, uh, in October I was actually at New Orleans, at a place called Brennan's.
They're the ones that created this dish.
Yeah, they do it tableside.
He makes it better, though.
He puts in a special ingredient called love.
Liquid gold.
Talk about comfort.
The orange in there is amazing.
You can taste it?
There's so many flavors going on.
It's great.
I can't wait to try it.
So that was the bananas foster and they also do cherries jubilee
tableside as well, which we got to see one of the other tables next to us get.
It looked so good.
I went with something a little more boring, just a little.
It's a cocoa Kahlua creme brulee.
So this came out already prepared, we didn't get a show along with this one.
But it is delicious.
