The Circus Is Back In Town! Celebrate And See The Show!

Last week, the sensational cast and crew of Las Vegas’ newest stage production, CIRCUS 1903 celebrated their opening night performance at Paris Theater at Paris Las Vegas. Featuring the world’s most talented performers and breathtaking puppeteering, the new resident production transported the filled room of invited guests and theatergoers back to the golden age of circus with thrilling acts and all of the nostalgia that made the era one to never forget.



Sharing the story of traditional circus, the big top production presented awe-inspiring and death-defying acts such as aerial acrobatics, high-wire walking, body contortion and many others, mixed with heart-warming moments featuring the world’s largest performing elephants, Queenie and Peanut, who are brought to life through groundbreaking design and puppeteering. Ringmaster Willy Whipsnade kept the laughter rolling throughout the one-act production, and the high-spirited audience delivered nearly non-stop applause in return to the extraordinary cast before giving them a full standing ovation at their final curtain call.


Vegas has seen many shows come and go but we are really hoping that this show is here to stay. Forget about the huge special effects and come see the show that celebrates pure talent. The blog is huge on animal activism, so not to see live animals but enjoy the magic that is the circus makes this show very special. We were seated next to a young girl around 9 and she was mesmerized. A great show for the entire family.  

In attendance of the premiere performance was the production’s director, Neil Dorward and creative producer Simon Painter, as well as several celebrities and local performers, including The Gazillionaire and Melody Sweets from ABSINTHE Las Vegas, cast members from MAGIC MIKE LIVE LAS VEGAS, magician Mac King, cast members from Chippendales, DIVAS star Frank Marino, comedy hypnotist Anthony Cools, mentalist Frederic Da Silva, and magician Murray SawChuck.

EAT! Robert Irvine's Public House NOW Open At Tropicana Las Vegas

Tropicana Las Vegas has officially opened its highly anticipated restaurant in partnership with Celebrity Chef Robert Irvine - Robert Irvine's Public House. The renowned chef and TV personality celebrated opening day in true Robert Irvine fashion by descending upon Las Vegas Boulevard with a three-vehicle military-inspired convoy. Chef Irvine topped himself by making his grand entrance by arriving via helicopter, where he landed on the Northeast entrance of the iconic property, just off the famed Las Vegas Strip.

Chef Irvine was accompanied by Medal of Honor recipient, Hershel W. Williams, as well as his wife, Gail Kim and VP and General Manager at Tropicana Las Vegas, Aaron Rosenthal. Upon arrival, Chef Irvine was welcomed by 30 active-duty military, Tropicana team members and property executives, and together they commenced the celebration with an official ribbon-cutting affair, complete with a brick wall-inspired ice sculpture, which Chef Irvine knocked down with a sledge hammer - for a one-of-a-kind opening celebration. The military guests were then treated to a first taste of the all-new restaurant hosted by Chef Irvine himself in honor of its opening day.

"After much anticipation, we are thrilled to finally welcome Robert Irvine's Public House to Tropicana Las Vegas," said Rosenthal, VP and General Manager for Tropicana Las Vegas. "Chef Irvine will truly redefine the dining experience on property, and we are excited to embark on a new culinary journey here at Tropicana Las Vegas - allowing our guests to enjoy the property as a premier destination on The Strip."

Boasting nearly 9,000 square feet, the restaurant features a 275-seat dining room complete with a wraparound bar, open kitchen design, private dining room and views of The Strip. The new restaurant offers a range of comfort food options inspired by Chef Irvine's culinary travels from around the world - all in a pub-like atmosphere. Highlights include fork and knife burger (Vermont sharp cheddar fondue, mushrooms, onions, smoked bacon, brioche roll); chicken fried duck confit (maple and sherry vinegar, braised kale and chard, buttery sriracha sauce); stone fired shepherds pie (ground lamb, onion, English peas, mashed potato crust); English banoffee pie (banana, toffee, espresso ice cream); and mason jar apple pie (5-year aged cheddar, vanilla ice cream), to name a few.

"Opening a restaurant in Las Vegas has been a longtime dream of mine and being inside the iconic Tropicana Las Vegas makes Public House that much more extraordinary," said Chef Irvine. "With this restaurant, I am excited to share my travels through food and beverage, and presenting guests with good food and a great experience, all at a reasonable price. Public House is all about offering something for everyone."

To complement the overall dining experience, guests can imbibe with an emporium of beer, wine, and craft cocktails options. The restaurant features over 32 beers on tap, 30 by the bottle, plus a variety of wines by the glass or bottle, and over a dozen signature cocktails - allowing for the perfect night out for any occasion. Signature cocktails include Patron Tequila cocktails featuring Patron Reposada and Anejo barrels hand-selected by Robert Irvine at Patron Hacienda such as El Karma and The Patroni; as well as healthy-inspired cocktails made with Boardroom Spirits such as the Cranberry Caipiroska and Beet Down, and much more.

Fourteen months ago, Chef Irvine made headlines after he rappelled 22 stories (220 feet) down the exterior of the Tropicana Las Vegas to announce his first-ever restaurant concept in Sin City.

Robert Irvine's Public House, located on the casino floor of Tropicana Las Vegas, is open for daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling (702) 739-2307. For more information, please visit www.troplv.com.
