    Antipasto salad
    Stan C.

    Going to a show at the Smith Center and wanted to grab dinner before the show. What could be more convenient than Vic's, right across the street and not having to move the car? Hidden tip - If you will be in the garage for less than 4 hours, Vic's will comp half the parking fee. Just don't prepay the parking. Vic's honors reservations( which is a good idea when eating before a show - lots of people have the same idea and it could get crowded). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is surprisingly pretty inside, separate from the bar area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a piano player - nice background music while dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went with the sausage and peppers pizza ($23). My wife got the antipasto salad ($22). The pizza was OK. The salad was excellent! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely ambiance, delightful piano background, excellent service, and good food at a fair price with a great location for a show.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will be back.

    Vic's is a must for all locals to visit. This Itailian place has old school vibes with an excellent menu and also between 2 and 5 there is a happy hour menu. The wine list is extensive and there are great selections of fine licquor. Staff is totally accomodating and very professional (Including friendly) they make you feel like an old friend and are happy to assist you in making your meal choice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One great plus is that on Friday and Saturday Nights, there is live music and the place those have a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We are now regulars.

    Shrimp Fra Diavolo

    Decades ago, we used to go to all the great jazz/supper clubs in New York. They are all gone now. So, I was delighted when I saw the listing for Vic's. Open for three years now, its owners tried to recreate the feel of the "old Vegas" lounges. They succeeded in spades. The service, from start to finish was great. Friendly and attentive. Our server, Amy, made some great suggestions. The minestrone was rich and flavorful, loaded with veggies and ditalini. The nicely dressed Caesar salad was big enough to share. The Chicken Parmesan. Had a deep, rich sauce and was accompanied by rigatoni. The Hanger Steak special was really good - perfectly cooked. Finally, the Shrimp Fra Diavolo was nice, although the accompanying pasta was a bit gummy. We shared some nice deserts - - and the cocktails were perfectly crafted. The highlight of our evening was the five piece jazz ensemble led by Jalen Baker and Jason Hainsworth. They played a great set of traditional jazz and we really enjoyed their performance. When I am back in Las Vegas, Vic's will be on top of my list to visit.

    My family of 6 + 4 family members entered this restaurant with no reservation, it was close to my sisters' post grad location. Wished we came at night to listen to live jazz/music! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was very clean, plates, utensils set out on table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was amazing with recommendations and service. Due to our big party, wait did take awhile, however we all got our food at the same time which I appreciated. My aunt is vegan, I was glad they had vegan options for her!!! Definitely a great pick for the day and occasion. Thank you Vic's we enjoyed the food and vibes

    Vic's did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the minute you walk in you can feel the relaxing vibes and smell the amazing food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dim lighting and the decor is spot on and reminds me of old Vegas[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Our waiter was so attentive and ensured if we had any questions about the menu he could answer them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Live band playing as well and they were superb.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our food was superb. I ordered veal , and hubby ordered steak. Our friends ordered a pork dish and clams. Definitely will be a place we will be going back to again. Great mother's day dinner

    I'm always happy to update a review and be able to report that a business improved, and this is the case with Vic's! We decided to give Vic's another try before a Saturday night Smith Center performance. Reservations are easy to make online and are highly recommended! We were seated right away in a comfortable booth as soon as we arrived. We had a good view of the stage and the live jazz music performance. Our server was quite friendly and attentive, although we did have to track her down at the end of the meal to get the check and pay so we would not be late for our performance. Since this is probably a popular spot for pre-show dining, it might be good to train servers to inquire with guests when they arrive if they are attending a show that night. They must have a good mixologists, because all the cocktails were great! I absolutely loved the peanut butter sour - one of the best cocktails I have ever had! Ice cold and perfectly balanced without overwhelming peanut butter flavor. I had a brandy alexander with dessert which was similarly delicious. I also enjoyed some prosecco with my entree which was was served in a small bottle which meant it still had all its carbonation! To start we had the shrimp cocktail and a minestrone soup. The shrimp tasted delicious and fresh. The soup was tasty and featured a hearty mix of vegetables but was a little light on the pasta. I had the braised pork entree. It was extremely tasty and very tender with a lovely sauce and perfectly cooked tagliatelle pasta. We also tried the roasted red potato side dish. These were all perfectly cooked with crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors. A bit more flavor would have been welcomed with the potatoes, however, such as perhaps some rosemary. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse cake. It was generously sized and plenty for two to share. The cake was exceptionally tender with a rich chocolate flavor. Overall, this was a much better experience at Vic's than our first visit! This may become our new pre-show dining spot for the Smith Center!

    Came in on a holiday with friend for lunch. There was no one here except us. 2pm on a Monday. You do either have to pay for parking, or get it validated in the restaurant. This place has a very warm atmosphere. The lunch special had plenty to offer and not too pricey. We ordered the half sandwich. Which comes with fries, soup or salad. $15 I mean hey that's not too bad. The food was on point. Hannah was our server, she was very sweet and patient. I would love to come back when they have their jazz nights. It's a cute gem.

    Atlantic Salmon
    Robbin B.

    After years of visiting The Smith Center and always saying "next time," We finally dined at Vic's before The Nutcracker on Dec 23, 2025 and it did not disappoint. Perfect pre-show dining with a cool, classic vibe and live piano music. A short and easy walk to The Smith Center, I chose to valet (my normal routine). Although, there's a parking garage just steps away from Vic's who happily validates. We kicked things off with shrimp cocktails, an espresso martini or two and the festive holiday cocktail Elsa so delicious and fun. I ordered the Atlantic salmon, prepared gluten and dairy free. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. My daughter loved her Rotini Pasta Primavera, perfectly sized and topped with fresh parmesan. Dessert sealed the deal: Tiramisu -a true aficionado, she left nothing behind except high praise. **Bonus points for being very allergy-conscious, which I truly appreciate. **Great service, great vibes, ideal location. **Vic's will officially become part of my Smith Center pre show dining.

    Next time you're in Las Vegas venture off the strip and head downtown to Vic's. It opened three years ago but feels like a real back in the day Jazz/Supper Club. The food, drinks, and service are worth the visit. The minestrone soup is rich and filled with all the good stuff not a thin broth with some vegetables. The generous portion of chicken Parmesan and pasta are served with a rich and flavorful sauce. The shrimp diavlo was not too spicy and the hangar steak was perfectly cooked. The cheesecake had a serious New York vibe and the apple bread pudding was shareable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The highlight of the evening was the music. A great jazz quintet was enjoyed by all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next time we're in Vegas we'll be back.

    Pap Bolognese

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was really nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't know what to expect because the reviews on here said 3.5 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like that they had a dining section, the bar area and a seating area. It gives different options on where to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated and promptly waited on. The waitress was amazingly nice. She took our order right away and also gave us the time we needed. Our appetizers were the nibblers (so freaking good!!!!) and a Caesar salad. Both were delicious!!! I love how they spaced out our main entree and didn't bring it out right away. They let us finish our apps. Then we had like 10 mins in between for our main meal. The main meal I chose was the shrimp diavolo, mild spice (I don't really do spicy) and that was perfect!!!! It was full of flavor and delicious. My partner got the bolognese dish. Pasta. That too was delicious!! Perfectly cooked pasta and flavorful bolognese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a student from LVA playing the piano. Which I thought was so awesome! Supporting our local talent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall we enjoyed the experience and the food!! We will definitely be coming back!

    Lobster bites
    Russell A.

    Vic's Las Vegas, our Smith Center Pre-Show Ritual Date nights, dinners with friends, you name it. It's officially our go-to before anything at The Smith Center. Since we took a break from social media for Lent, here's a montage of our last three visits. Let's talk about it... Old Fashioned is always great. Their house pour is Four Roses bourbon, and they nail it every time. Smooth, balanced, dangerously easy to sip. Apps don't miss... Lobster bites, crab cakes, Italian sausage, chowders... All hitters, no skips. That beet salad though... Fresh. Flavor-packed. Different textures hitting all at once. Sweet + savory done RIGHT. Low-key one of my favorite dishes in Vegas. Entree lineup stays strong... Spam & mushroom risotto, a WTH this won't work but it did (shoutout Spamalot), perfectly cooked swordfish, pastas always delivering, and those lamb chops last night... Crispy outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside. Always tasty! Dessert = automatic chocolate mousse cake. Every. Single. Time. Service is always spot on. We have never had a bad experience. Everyone treats you like family which is what we as Las Vegas locals really love in a dining establishment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the food, the ambience, and especially the people![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What's your go-to at Vic's?

    After an event, two friends and I checked out Vic's. I'm sad I had not been here before. Each new dish that came out was tastier than the last. When we first arrived a UNLV music student was playing the piano live. She played about 10 minutes and then her set was over and they switched to the speaker system. The restaurant was not super busy. The staff were very attentive and offered suggestions on items when asked. The portion of chicken Parm was large and the meatballs were a personal favorite. We did not think we needed a dessert, but when the carrot cake arrived, we were all very happy. Vics is definitely a spot to make a trip to.

    Chicken dish with mashed potatoes
    Renee N.

    Some friends and I were coming to see a show at Myrons and decided to stop in here for dinner. Reservations had been made which you can do easily online. We were here during the holidays so the place was all decked out in lively, holiday decor. We were seated in a comfortable booth and had a great view of the stage. The ambiance is delightful. Shortly after we were seated a young musician approached the stage and began to play beautiful piano. She was so talented. Apparently when you are a young musician, they offer you an opportunity to play for a live audience. Different musicians all the time. I think this is such a great idea. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes from Italian to American classics. Perusing the menu, my friend and I decided to share dinner. We started with Vic's House Salad and then shared a featured special of the evening. It was a tasty chicken and mash potatoes. It was just enough food for both of us and of course we had to have a little dessert to top off our meal. Our server was efficient and fast. Vic's has a large dining room, a robust bar area complete with poker machines to play, and an expansive lounge where you can immerse yourself in all kinds of games and sports on the big screen TV's. I like that the place is dark and cool inside. I could see myself hanging out here randomly when in the area. The vibe here is jazz club and who doesn't enjoy live music?? Many artists featured here are local and even some national musicians as well. Parking can be found in one of the garages nearby at $6 per vehicle. I look forward to dining here again.

All the tables by the window are reservation only but if you walk in, you can sit at the bar which is facing opposite of the view.

The drink I had was well balanced and strong, where some bars can water down the cocktails. It was cool that the bartender helping us was the one that made that cocktail! Overall would recommend to stop by if you're staying in the W or Mandalay Bay or anywhere near the south side of the strip

It would help if there weren't fingerprints smudged on the pane glass. Very secluded, & quiet.. It could be due to the minor signage, where u if you're not paying attention, you'll miss it. Definitely gives business deal vibes! If I had some deals lined up, I'd close them here for sure. Perfect setting to cheer a huge business deal. It's a bougie spot.. u know, upscale. I realized that when I looked at the menu & realized they had no food.. So, I ask bartender, like.. "where the wings at?" lol.. I'm thinking wings, fries, sliders, calamari.. nope! I think he said they removed food from the menu & we laughed. It's cool, calm, & collective up here.

We got in on Saturday night and walked into Bruno Mars performing!!…read more The vibe was so energetic and unique, I definitely think the no phone policy is what made it feel so special. We had so much fun we went back on Sunday night just expecting good energy and live music. We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!

The live music was incredible! A lot of talent and a wide variety of songs. The energy was electric. The DJ between live sets was great too, he really kept the hype going. This club is worth the hype and the splurge.

On our way upstairs, we stopped to order the famous drink with the flower. It's not even on the menu, but it's apparently their best-selling cocktail. The bartenders were exactly what you'd expect from a high-end Vegas bar--friendly, polished, and effortlessly cooler than you'll ever be. Service was excellent. Then came the bill. Twenty-five dollars buys you what is essentially a shot-sized margarita served in a tiny glass with enough crushed ice to sink the Titanic. Take a sip. Now eat the flower. The flower tastes like a New York City rat's backside and leaves your mouth pleasantly... or unpleasantly... numb. Then comes the big reveal. "Now taste the drink again. Totally different, right?" They're absolutely right. It does taste completely different. Now it tastes like you licked the floor of a subway station. I'm impressed. Final Verdict This is one of those Vegas experiences you're supposed to try once. Once is enough. Save yourself $25. Lick a toilet seat, gently headbutt the stall door, and tell yourself you just had the Chandelier Bar experience. Bon appétit.

When we mentioned that we were celebrating our engagements, they surprised us with complimentary shots, which were delicious and such a thoughtful way to start the night. My best friend ordered a mocktail that she is still talking about and claims was one of the best drinks she's ever had. I ordered the pink margarita and absolutely loved it. The presentation of everything was gorgeous and felt so intentional. For food, we each ordered the Grilled Steak Skewers with pistachio chimichurri, and of course I couldn't come to a Vanderpump restaurant without trying the iconic Goat Cheese Balls. They absolutely lived up to the hype! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and the quality matched the elevated experience from start to finish. The ambiance is what really takes this place to another level. It's glamorous, romantic, moody, and luxurious without feeling like a gimmicky reality TV tourist attraction. You genuinely feel like you've stepped into the Vanderpump world. Between the gorgeous decor, incredible presentation, delicious food and drinks, and top tier service, the entire experience felt special from beginning to end. My best friend said this may have been the highlight of our entire Vegas trip, and I honestly can't disagree. If you're a Vanderpump fan, this is an absolute must, but even if you've never watched a single episode, it's still an incredible cocktail and dining experience. We would come back in a heartbeat!

    Pleased to post an update As Las Vegas locals, we usually…read moretry to avoid the Strip, but we had tickets to see Kelly Clarkson last night, so we made a night of it. We started with dinner at Gordon Ramsay's Pub, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. Thankfully, we still had some time before the concert, so as a huge Lisa Vanderpump fan, we decided to stop by Vanderpump Garden for a cocktail. What a difference! From the moment we walked in, we were treated so warmly. The host who greeted and seated us completely turned our evening around. He was everywhere--cleaning tables, delivering meals, helping guests, managing reservations--and somehow did it all with genuine enthusiasm, professionalism, and kindness. You could tell he truly cared about every guest's experience. I even asked to take a photo with him because he made such an impression on us. Employees like him are rare, and I sincerely hope management recognizes what an incredible ambassador he is for your restaurant. He absolutely made our night and reminded us what outstanding hospitality looks like. We'll definitely be back for the cocktails, the atmosphere, and especially the exceptional service. Thank you for turning what started as a disappointing evening into a wonderful memory!

    The Laundry Room is a cool, intimate speakeasy located within downtown LV. Only 16 people are…read moreallowed in at one time, you need a reservation, and there's a dress code. We were seated at the bar and had a nice time interacting with the cocktail craftsman/man in charge, Davey. The menu is his creative brainchild and changes a few times a year, with the current one based on the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There's a 90 minute limit and 2 drink minimum per guest. Because of the craft and attention to detail that goes into each cocktail, we finished our 2 drinks just about right at the 90 minute mark. I really enjoyed both of my cocktails but the one that stood out to me the most was Strange Medicine. It was reminiscent of a martini but with Brie-washed Old Bison vodka, Cocchi Americano, and herb oil. It was so good that I wasn't sure what drink to choose next, but Davey was helpful with a great recommendation for another cocktail served with a chunk of parmesan cheese on top. Keep in mind that you're paying for the experience and the level of craft. So with a 2 drink minimum it won't be a cheap experience but it's definitely something worth checking out for the unique, creative cocktails.

    Pro: Fear and Loathing menu, updated furniture, yummy drinks…read more Con: Not the previous Laundry Room you remembered, glorified tourist trap, lack of atmosphere control. Slow drink service. The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

    Checked out of the hotel and wanted to get a drink at the bar to kill some time before my flight…read more The bar has plenty of seating at the bar and around the area. I opted for a comfier lounge chair next to the bar and checked out the menu on the table. When I was ready to order, I went up to the bar. Which, if you've been to bars in general, they happily take your order and you wait and bring the drinks back to your seat. Well not at Vesper. Went up ready to order and the bartender asked where we were seated and said a waitress would come by and that we couldn't order with him. We sat, we waited 15-20 mins and no one came around. We waited long enough and decided it wasn't worth our money. If trying to get an order in was this difficult, can't imagine what the rest of the service is like.

I sat for around 15 minutes waiting for service and then walked up to the bar instead to order drinks. He rejected my offer and said the waitress would take my order and to return back to my seat. The waitress has not come around. she has been standing in the corner looking at nothing for the past 20 minutes.

This is such a cool bar on property at the Rio. It's a very Brazilian vibe in here and just so cool. The lounge seating is absolutely beautiful. I just got a gin and tonic, but next time I come back here, definitely grabbing one of their tropical cocktails which looked so good. There was live entertainment when we were here, too. Such a cool spot. Would definitely come back here again!

Adhering to the Brazil vibe, it has a gold jaguar climbing the bar and a very chique vibe with pops of gold and patterned seat upholstery. And it's a perfectly convenient stop for a drink when meeting others in the lobby to leave for dinner. Bartender Christian is as friendly as all the staff at the Rio and took great care of us. The cocktail game is real and we had some excellent, beautiful drinks. There was a live singer some nights. (Lapa & Luckley's have happy hours a few days a week) Also, I don't know how often this happens, but while in the casino we were given a buy one get one coupon for drinks here! But be sure to tip on your total before the discount ;)
