Fancy Sauce Tuesday with Brandon Kent!


Taylor Hicks wins The BiLLe Celeb & gives $12k to Wounded Warriors!



American Idol” season five winner and Bally’s Las Vegas headliner Taylor Hicks is the recent winner of The BiLLe Celeb Charity Challenge and will present a check for  €10,000 (approx. US $12,000) to the Wounded Warrior Project during his show on Tuesday, July 31.

On Thursday, July 26, Hicks won The BiLLe Celeb Charity Challenge, an online contest where "Superfans" upload celebrities and "Fans" vote daily, ultimately directing a pool of charitable donations to the winning celeb's favorite charity. Each week, the Superfan who nominated the winner and one Fan who helped vote that celeb to victory have a chance to take part in a ceremonial check presentation.

Superfan Holly Dey from Connecticut received a final push with the help of Taylor Hicks himself, which helped her to gain the win.

“This is such an exciting experience,” said Dey who nominated Hicks and was flown in by the contest operator to meet Hicks and present the check. “I was already flying out to Las Vegas to see Taylor Hicks’ show when they let me know that I’d won the contest. I’m a huge fan of Taylor’s and love that he supports the military with both his music and his actions.”

“It’s great to be able to reach through to fans with Twitter and make something like this a possibility,” said Hicks. “My American Idol fan base came through once again and I look forward to meeting Holly and to presenting these funds to Wounded Warrior Project.”

Amy Frelly, warrior outreach coordinator for Wounded Warrior Project, would concur. “We are so grateful to Taylor and his amazing fans for their support, and to The BiLLe Celeb Charity Challenge for this incredible donation which will help provide resources to support our 18 different programs that will continue to honor and empower wounded warriors.”

Anyone 18 or older can add a celebrity or vote at CelebCharityChallenge.org, and there is no cost to participate. The winning celebrity is announced every Thursday at 9 a.m. ET.

“Whiskey Wednesday” at Andre's - Scottish Lowlands tastings!



Whiskey Tasting has never been finer than the great “Whiskey Wednesday” evenings at Andre’s Cigar Lounge on the Las Vegas Strip.

Packed with whiskey and scotch lovers at all levels of “expertise,” these Whiskey Tasting Events take place the first Wednesday of the month at Las Vegas’ renowned Cigar Lounge on the 2nd floor of Andre’s Restaurant in the Monte Carlo Casino.

The next Andre’s Cigar Lounge “Whiskey Wednesday” is scheduled for Aug. 1st, 2012, 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and features a wallop of a treat – an evening of Single Malt Scotch tasting. Tickets are just $25 with RSVP – call (702) 798-7151 – or $35 at the door.

Given that Las Vegas’ first Celebrity Chef Andre´Rochat has avidly collected whiskeys, cognacs and armagnacs for more than 40 years, you can be assured that these renowned Las Vegas Whiskey Tasting Events always feature the world’s finest – and rarest – selections. For August’s “Whiskey Wednesday at Andre’s,” we’ll be tasting through the Scottish Lowlands, with Single-Malts from Auchentoshan, Glenkinchie, and a specialty Auchentoshan bottling from Duncan Taylor.

Auchentoshan Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced near Glasgow and is nicknamed “the breakfast whisky” because of its sweeter, fruitier nature. Established in 1800, Auchentoshan is the only distillery in Scotland to have a third still. The triple distillation creates a very smooth single malt scotch. At the same time, the triple “dip” takes the spirit from the average 70% proof to about 81%, creating a subtle whisky that then matures beautifully in oak.

Auchentoshan’s 16- year and 18-year old scotches have received double gold medals, and its “Three Wood” won “the best Scotch Whisky and Cigar Combination” at a recent World Spirits Competition in San Francisco.

Glenkinchie is produced in East Lothian, Scotland, about 15 miles from Edinburgh. Set in rolling farmland, the distillery is one of only three remaining Lowland malt whiskies in production in the world. With origins that date back to 1825, the founding brothers, John and George Rate, renamed the distillery to Glenkinchie in 1837, and it’s never missed a year of production. Glenkinchie features a 10-year, a 12-year and a 14-year-0ld Distiller’s Edition that is double matured in sherry casks. Noted for its fresh and light character, Glenkinchie is considered a phenomenal introduction to the world of Single Malt Scotch.

Mark your calendar now for Whiskey Wednesday, Aug. 1st! We recommend you RSVP in advance as tickets tend to sell out quickly. Call (702) 798-7151 for $25 tickets (they are $35 at the door).

Poker Royalty Barbara Enright is interviewed by High Roller Radio!



It’s All About the Money and a Little Piece of Poker History
By: Derrick Oliver

I was so excited!  It was the exact reason I embarked on this journey of mine, a fascination called High Roller Radio – a chance to meet, talk to and get inside the head of gambling greats and poker legends.  I was about to enter into a 20 minute Q&A session with a member of poker royalty.  Barbara Enright is the only woman to ever reach the final table of the Main Event at the World Series of Poker.  She was the first woman ever to win an open event at the WSOP and she is a member of poker’s Hall of Fame.  She also has three WSOP gold bracelets in her jewelry collection.

As the phone rang I knew what my first question was going to be, considering the Main Event for 2012 had just wrapped up and the last two women standing finished 11th and 10th.  They were a victim of the so-called final table “bubble”, a final table that only accepts nine.  They were right there, at the doorway, oh so close to a piece of gaming history, to a place beside Enright and to having a chance at $8.5 million.

“Hello,” she answered, “Hi Barbara,” I said, and we were off to the races.  A true High Roller was about to grace the airwaves on High Roller Radio.

“The honest answer is this,” she said, sounding as though she’d been approached with this inquiry before.  “Records are meant to be broken and nobody can ever take away the fact that I was the first.   The distinction is nice but I don’t think about it much.  I play poker for money.  I know it would have been special for them and I was pulling for them.  I was happy for them and I was hoping both would have made the final table and one of them would have won.  People think it bothers me but it doesn’t.  They made a good run and made some good money.”

Enright can empathize with being close.  In 1985, the same year she became the first woman to win an open event, with men and women, Enright navigated a large and talented field of runners to make it to the showcase finale.  She finished 5th for a good payday but a ton of heartbreak as well. 

“It was a really terrible feeling for me, more so because of the beat I took,” Enright reflected, referring to way she was eliminated that year, her pocket 8’s losing to an opponent’s 6 3 of diamonds.  “If I had pocket 10’s up against pocket Aces I could understand it.  That was tough.  It still haunts me today.”

So Enright, in her way, can fully understand what the bubble women of 2012 are going through now and will have to relive later.  She acknowledges the upper-level female players in the game today are holding their own.  Players like Vanessa Selbst, Vanessa Rousso, Annette Oberstad, Annie Duke and Jennifer Harman are celebrated to the point their gender never enters the conversation.  They’re just ‘poker players’. 

“I think the ones who play seriously are as good as any man, if not better.  It kind of proves it, with the two women finishing 10th and 11th this year.  Considering how many women are playing, percentage-wise, they’re doing better than the men.”

Barbara Enright has three children but says she was never discouraged from pursuing a life on the green felt.  In the early days she held jobs as a waitress and bartender but eventually settled on pokers.  She was simply making too much playing cards.  She put in the time and effort to make it in this, as cutthroat an industry as there is. 

“Women have an equal footing in poker although I don’t think it’s a perfect sport because you’re sitting a lot and sitting isn’t all that good for you.  I like the poker but I could have chosen a career that was better for me physically.”

Elected to poker’s Hall of Famer in 2007 alongside Phil Hellmuth, Enright was enshrined into poker immortality as one of the game’s all-time best, was reserved a chair beside the likes of Johnny Moss, Amarillo Slim, Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson and Stu Ungar, who she had dinner with once but “didn’t really know him”, she said referring to the troubled genius, the card savant who died as the result of drugs and reckless living.  She is still the only woman ever to make the final table at the Main Event, a distinction she likes but one, for Enright, that pales in comparison to the cash.  She owns three bracelets and she is a legend.

When the interview was over and we said our good-bye’s I thought to myself, ‘that was awesome, I just spoke to a High Roller.  To listen to the full interview visit www.highrollerradioshow.com .

Fresh beat the heat cocktails now at Central Michel Richard at Caesars Palace


Central Michel Richard at Caesars Palace is pleased to introduce five new seasonal cocktails to its menu.

Whether guests situate themselves at Central’s expansive white onyx bar fronting the lobby of Caesars Palace, or a table outside on the restaurant’s lushly landscaped terrace to enjoy the sunshine and gentle breezes—these cocktails are sure to set a festive mood:

CAIPIRIHNA DE UVA – With lime wedges, Cachaça, muddled red grapes, basil leaves and honey simple syrup, this twist on the classic Brazilian cocktail is delicioso!

BUBBLEBERRY – Bring on the bubbly! Vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, Domaine de Canton—the world’s first ultra-premium French ginger liqueur—and Champagne are mixed and finely strained into a Champagne flute before being finished off with a mint leaf roll.

LEMONADE SMASH – A blend of Gentleman Jack Tennessee whiskey, honey syrup (made with honey, hot water, Angostura bitters and cloves), fresh lemon—all capped by a splash of club soda.

SUMMER SANGRIA – This fresh summer concoction features lime, muddle strawberries and blueberries mixed with Moscato d'Asti wine, brandy and St. Germain Elderflower liqueur  garnished with fresh lemon and orange wedges.

GRANADIA SANGRIA – Another twist on the summer classic, this time with pomegranate vodka, St. Germain Elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice and simple syrup, all shaken and strained above an iced Bordeaux glass,all topped with ginger ale and floated with Luigi Bosca Malbec wine.

Central’s spring cocktails range in price from $10 to 14 and are available 24 hours per day.

The five new cocktails join current crowd pleasers: Blueberry Blitz which blends Stoli Blueberi Vodka with lemon juice, Champagne and simple syrup and the Strawberry Basil Mojito, a fusion of Bacardi Rum, basil club soda, lime juice and simple syrup.

Central’s wraparound, double-sided bar provides guests to the restaurant and the hotel an incomparable people-watching vantage point, while the outdoor terrace ranks among the top al fresco dining spots in the city. Brightly lighted with sunshine during the day and suffused with ambient, evocative lighting at night, Central’s atmosphere offers a lively backdrop for superb dining, round the clock. As for the menu, it reflects Richard’s signature American cuisine crafted with a French accent, notably excellent beef, lobster and crab burgers, fried and rotisserie chicken, succulent steaks and tantalizing desserts. Just like the menu and décor inside and out, the entire experience is unpretentious yet imaginative.

The 300-capacity restaurant is located in the area previously occupied by the Augustus Café, adjacent to Caesars Palace’s bustling registration lobby. This prime location at the Strip-facing main entrance of the hotel allows for guests to park in the hotel's main valet and go directly into the restaurant. Central is Caesars Palace's only location to be open 24 hours a day, seven days per week and is the world’s first restaurant to be helmed by a James Beard award-winning chef.

Michelin starred Chef Masa Takayama's new restaurant Tetsu due to open!


On August 1, Michelin-starred Chef Masa Takayama will debut Tetsu, his first teppan concept at ARIA Resort & Casino. Tetsu will deliver an intimate dining experience featuring the fresh, high-quality ingredients, and unparalleled culinary techniques for which Chef Masa is renowned.

“Tetsu translates to ‘iron’ in Japanese, which is why we refer to the Iron Chef in Japan as ‘Tetsu,’” said Tetsu Executive Chef/Creator, Masa Takayama. “It is the idea that the chef cannot be beat. This concept will be embodied at Tetsu – you will not find this quality of teppan cooking anywhere else – it is the best of the best.”

“Tetsu is a testament to ARIA’s establishment as a top dining destination, not only in Las Vegas, but the world,” said CityCenter President and COO Bill McBeath. “We are honored to house yet another Masa Takayama culinary masterpiece and look forward to offering our guests this exclusive dining experience.”

Tetsu will feature highly skilled teppan chefs overseeing six grills – four blackjack-style tables and two communal teppan grill tables seating five and 10, respectively. A produce table serves as the room’s centerpiece, displaying the finest quality meats and seafood; and offering guests the opportunity to select the proteins for their entrée, specifying the exact cut, portion size and preparation style they desire.

The à la carte teppan grill menu allows guests to taste a variety of offerings such as the Toro Tartare with Caviar, Sizzling Jalapeño Octopus and Oyster with Tomatillo Ceviche. Other main course grilled offerings range from Center-Cut Lamb Chop and Herbed Chicken Thigh to Foie Gras.

For the full Masa experience, Chef’s world-renowned sushi and sashimi also will be available, including delicacies such as Toro Fatty Tuna, Giant Clam and Live Shrimp.  Served chilled as well as grilled, the incredibly fresh, skillfully sourced seafood such as Sea Bass from Chile, Scottish Salmon and Maine Lobster Tail provides a diverse selection that will delight guests.

Side accompaniments including Yakisoba Noodles, Garlic Butter Fried Rice, Habanero Shrimp Nuggets and Spicy Mango Zucchini Julienne Salad will complement the main course. Masa’s unexpected and refreshing desserts – such as his famous Truffle Ice Cream, Grapefruit Granite and Yuzu Sorbet – will complete the meal.

Tetsu’s hours of operation will be Wednesday through Sunday 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. Guests enter Tetsu through barMASA, located adjacent to the stunning ARIA lobby. For more information or to make reservations, call 702.590.7111 or visit www.arialasvegas.com
