Sapphire Las Vegas, the world’s largest gentlemen’s club and adult entertainment complex, will debut its new Scotch Room, dedicated to serving over 30 brands of Scotch, just in time for National Scotch Day.

As famous pretend news anchor Ron Burgundy once said, “I love scotch. Scotchy scotch, scotch.” On July 27th, in honor of National Scotch Day, Sapphire Las Vegas guests will be transported into a newly built private room complete with billiards, karaoke and a bar dedicated to the ultimate gentlemen’s drink.

Whether you prefer scotch neat or mixed into a Penicillin, the all new Sapphire Scotch Room will carry top tier Scotches including Glenlivet, Chivas Regal and so many more names in coveted scotch-whisky beverage space. Guests are encouraged to bring in babes to play billiards for a few hours — with some scotch, of course — or simply kick back and enjoy some private entertainment in the company of the karaoke machine.

The Sapphire Scotch Room will also feature Scotch & Whiskey packages for the more casual drinker, where a bottle of smoky or sweet sips awaits. Revelers are also invited to try the “Some Like It Neat” package, perfect for groups of five that come in for some Dewar’s or Buchanan’s.

After operating out of the Vegas Test Kitchen for the last two years, Yukon Pizza is going brick and mortar. The beloved pizza concept is opening its very own doors in the Huntridge Neighborhood (inside the Huntridge Shopping center at 1130 East Charleston Suite 160), and promising a menu full of its popular sourdough pizzas, sourdough battered bites, as well as sandwiches, salads, and rotating specials paired with packaged beer and wine from area partners Alt Imports and Silver Stamp.

Although sourdough starters were all the rage during the pandemic, Yukon Pizza’s story starts well beyond two years ago. Founder Alex White’s Great-Great-Grandpa Gilbert started the family yeast culture during the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon Territories. From there, pieces of the starter were passed down through the generations, ultimately, getting into White’s hands as a high school graduation gift and college send off. 

Margherita Oven 

Even after that, though, White mostly used the starter for crafting sourdough pizzas for house parties and morning-after pancakes. 

Today, it’s a much different story. With an ownership team consisting of Alex White, Cameron White, Dani Garcia-White, and Chef Justin Ford – as well as a tight-knit team that feels like family – Yukon Pizza is ready to take the family’s sourdough starter to the next level. 

The Huey

“For the past 100+ years, my family’s starter has brought people together, sharing good food and great memories,” White said. “We are beyond stoked to continue that tradition, bringing the community together to enjoy some awesome pizza and additional bites. Bringing our historic roots to one of Las Vegas’ historic neighborhoods is about as perfect as it gets.” 

The Pizza 

Yukon Pizza brings so many tasty options to the table! From traditional pies – including Neapolitan, Detroit, and New York styles – to specialty slices, and even vegan options, guests will want to make room to try them all. A few highlights include: 

  • The Y-Train – Yukon’s take on the classic New York style pizza with a robust New York tomato sauce, oregano, parmesan, shredded mozzarella, roasted garlic oil, and basil
  • The Grandpa White – Named after all the grandpas in the White family, the “Grandpa” White Pie is a Yukon knockout! The fresh-baked sourdough crust is topped with garlic oil, oregano, shredded mozzarella, whole milk mozzarella slices, parmesan, fresh basil, and ricotta dollops, making this pizza a dinner winner!
  • Neapolitan Style Pepperoni – A house-made, classic sourdough Neapolitan style pizza with parmesan, San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and pepperoni
  • Hey, I’m Vegan here! – Vegans rejoice – this New York pizza is what dreams are made of! Featuring Teese vegan mozzarella, this classic sourdough pizza with bold, flavorful New York sauce, vegan mozzarella, and fresh basil will have even carnivores coming back for more

But There’s More 

Yukon Pizza’s menu is rounded out with more than just pizza (though sourdough may be a theme). Additional dishes include: 

  • Fresh salads like the Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad, Peach and Burrata Salad, or the classic House Salad paired with house-made sourdough croutons
  • Sandwiches like the Eggplant Parm Sando and the Yubano, both served on in-house made sourdough bread
  • Sourdough battered bites like the Cauliflower Buffalo Wings and Calamari 
  • Pup cups for the furry friends
  • Plus, a rotating menu using seasonal and local produce 

The Space

It’s all about the neighborhood at Yukon Pizza’s brick and mortar. With just 13 seats in the dining room, the space is welcoming and cozy, while a takeaway window (open late) offers quick service for individual slices and full pies. The Yukon Pizza that our community has come to know and love will be serving lunch and dinner from 12pm until 10pm Wednesdays through Sundays.

For more information, visit Yukon Pizza online at YukonPizza.com or on Instagram or Facebook  @YukonPizza, and continue to catch Yukon Pizza and their delicious pies at Vegas Test Kitchen Thursdays through Sundays, until their brick and mortar opening!

Leaving fine dining Italian cuisine for American BBQ, James Beard nominated and Bravo Top Chef favorite Chef Bruce Kalman opens his first Las Vegas restaurant with business partner Richard Camarota, dubbed Soulbelly BBQ, in the heart of the Downtown’s Arts District May 12th. 

Kalman says, “I came to Las Vegas because a chef friend of mine convinced me it was a great place to start a business. I’ve been so warmly welcomed by the incredible culinary and business community. I want Soulbelly to be something special that celebrates the amazing soul of Las Vegas and its people. We’ve held a series of pop-ups to build momentum, but it’s finally time to show the city of Las Vegas what we’ve been smoking!” 

Chef Bruce & Brisket Slice (Courtesy Bronson Loftin)

“We saw an opportunity to bring a totally new experience to Las Vegas’ growing off-strip dining scene. The combination of great, honest barbecue, cooler beers, American whiskey and live music is something we’re really passionate about and excited for people to enjoy. We’re also really proud and grateful to be joining this awesome family of indie restaurants, bars, shops in the area; the whole neighborhood is set to explode with energy as the world re-opens,” says Camarota.

From fine Italian to American BBQ – Chef Bruce Kalman’s Evolution
A veteran chef, Kalman became most known for his time at and ownership of LA’s Knead & Co. Pasta Bar + Market and Pasadena’s UNION, where he wowed diners with his Italian cuisine. 

Committed to art of cooking, Kalman has always prided himself on house-crafted dishes created with the best-quality ingredients. In a kismet meeting, Kalman found himself at a charity event also attended by Backbeat BBQ founder and Foo Fighters Front Man Dave Grohl. To help Grohl serve the crowds, Kalman was introduced to the passion, effort and incredible community of American BBQ. From that experience, Soulbelly BBQ was born. 

A Chef’s Take on Regional American BBQ
Coming from a very different side of the culinary industry “barbecue has been humbling,” says Kalman. “I really wanted to respect the tradition while putting my own spin on my meats. I’m taking a little more of a chef’s approach than a pitmaster’s, though the heart of the industry and culture can still be tasted.” 

Signature #jigglymeatdishes include Kalman’s Salt & Pepper Brisket, Carolina Pulled Pork, Chipotle Cider Glazed Drumsticks, Pork Spare Ribs, housemade Hatch Chile and Cheddar Hot Links, and Texas Sausages. 

Sides That Don’t Suck
From handcrafted pasta and chicharrón breadcrumbs for the Mac and Cheese, to extensive recipe testing for the Coleslaw, Kalman dedicated his efforts toward ensuring that each dish on Soulbelly BBQ’s menu was crafted with full flavor in mind. 

Further showcasing his creative side, Kalman has adorned the bar menu with rotating bites like Pigs In A Blanket, Frito Pie, Pickled Eggs, Chicharrón Chips, Pimento Cheese Dip and more. 

Cooler Beer & American Whiskey 
Soulbelly BBQ’s beer and cocktail program features American beers like Lone Star and Shiner, alongside locally brewed Nevada beers. Most notably, HUDL Brewing, Soulbelly BBQ’s next-door neighbor, is specially brewing the Charred & Shifty – an American red made with Garrison Brothers barrel ashes in the mash. 

Putting the Soulbelly spin on classic cocktails, the menu is dressed with sips including an Old Fashioned and Mint Julip, beside twists like the Sweet Tea Sangria and the Lunch Box.

A Garage With Rustic Soul
This former automotive garage turned restaurant was carefully designed to reflect and honor the culture surrounding American BBQ. Murals on each side of the space showcase iconic figures like the Queen of Texas BBQ and pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz, alongside southern musicians like Koko Taylor and Buddy Guy.

Again tying in Kalman’s love for music, the restaurant has a 16-by-8 foot stage, which will soon become home to live musicians. A few special accent features include Soulbelly BBQ’s mascot, an antique metal pig now named “Lambchop,” and the vintage beverage cooler parked near the front of the restaurant.

An all-day, neighborhood sports bar at its core, Tailgate Social features an approachable menu of mouth-watering meals and scrumptious bites, including prime steak tip skewers, a variety of authentic tacos, fresh, out-of-the-oven pizzas or made-to-order guacamole — all for off-Strip prices. A menu of so many more offerings for all tastes will be playfully served from a bus façade.

Along with signature cocktails, Tailgate Social’s beer list is an embarrassment of riches, as it includes hard-to-find brews and domestic favorites.

A casual and interactive space, Tailgate Social is just that: Social! Guests are encouraged to relax with friends in oversized booths, play billiards or enjoy the environment, all while taking in an MVP-worthy happy hour or food and drink specials tailored to the game days.

“Tailgating is a rite of passage, and we tapped into that culture,” said Clique Hospitality Founder Andy Masi. “At Tailgate Social you’ll feel like you’re at the game, but with better food options, a more comfortable environment and shorter restroom lines.”

“Palace Station has been a locals’ favorite for over forty years and now with the addition of Tailgate Social our guests will have a great new place to watch their favorite local sports teams!” said David Horn, Vice President and General Manager of Palace Station. “Tailgate Social will be a great enhancement to our food and beverage line up that will feature the best game day food and drink specials along with an atmosphere and room that makes you feel like you are tailgating at your favorite sports event.” 

They say that it’s not nice to play games, but we beg to differ.

About Palace Station

Owned by Station Casinos, LLC under the ownership and leadership of the Fertitta family, Palace Station serves as the original Las Vegas locals’ casino in Southern Nevada and is located at 2411 W. Sahara Ave. It was opened by Frank Fertitta, Jr. as The Casino on July 1, 1976 offering a 5,000 square foot casino and snack bar and later expanded and renamed Bingo Palace before expanding once again to become Palace Station. Over the years, the Fertitta family grew Station Casinos from its single Palace Station hotel casino to 20 entertainment destinations today throughout Southern Nevada including Red Rock Resort, Green Valley Ranch Resort and The Palms to name a few. In October 2018, Palace Station completed its $192 million-dollar property-wide modernization.

With Las Vegas’ restaurants opening back up, food lovers are going to have seemingly endless options to choose from. If you are looking for a way to experience as many restaurants as possible, now you are able to eat and explore their way through the city like never before with an innovative, private, self-guided, e-assisted culinary tour created by Finger Licking Foodie Tours. The brand-new company represents a follow-up, companion business to the successful Lip Smacking Foodie Tours created by Las Vegas entrepreneur and hospitality-industry veteran, Donald Contursi.

The new self-guided Finger Licking Foodie Tour offers guests a carefree, fun-filled way to enjoy an array of Instagrammable dishes at Las Vegas’ top restaurants in one outing – without the hassle of doing loads of research or making reservations on their own.

But unlike the companies’ other tours, the pioneering Finger Licking Foodie Downtown Las Vegas self-guided tour doesn’t have an actual tour guide who leads patrons from venue to venue. Instead, this tour, with a minimum requirement of just two patrons, is designed to be a more intimate and individualistic experience. Guests have the flexibility to book their tour anytime between 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. They are then provided with an online map, as well as a link to an innovative virtual tour guide who provides commentary for each fascinating stop along the way. As guests make their way through this 2.5-hour experience in the city’s exciting, revitalized downtown, they will visit three acclaimed restaurants, where they will be well taken care of as they enjoy three unforgettable dishes at each venue. On top of that, they will receive a 15 percent discount off the regular price of any other menu items they would like to try at any of the establishments.

As a “thank you” to essential workers who performed their important jobs tirelessly and bravely during the recent mandated shelter-in-place and in anticipation of the local culinary scene’s reopening, Finger Licking Foodie Tours is accepting nominations to receive a complimentary Self-guided Downtown Las Vegas tour for two. Nominees may include healthcare workers, postal workers, janitorial personnel, delivery drivers, grocery-store employees and all others who have remained on the front lines during the pandemic. Ten tours for two will be awarded and nominations may be made here.

Lip Smacking Foodie Tours was founded five years ago to offer gourmet walking tours featuring prime-time dining and VIP service at the most exclusive restaurants. After quickly gaining numerous accolades and repeat customers, Contursi decided to expand on the concept with Finger Licking Foodie Tours, which was established in 2019 to provide a more casual romp with crowd-pleasing noshes at a can’t-be-beat price.

Besides the self-guided tour, Finger Licking Foodie offers two group tours: The Las Vegas Strip Foodie Tour is a 2.5-hour afternoon experience that leaves plenty of time for a night out on the town afterward. Guests visit four exciting stops on each tour, which combines sensational sight-seeing with craveable dishes. Each tour’s itinerary remains under wraps – for maximum anticipation and surprise. Knowledgeable and charismatic local guides keep the atmosphere lively by spotlighting some of the most distinctive sights and fascinating facts along the way. Guests who opt for the Downtown Las Vegas Foodie Tour enjoy all these same benefits while visiting four neighborhood restaurants run by local chefs who have made a name for themselves in the dynamic, art-filled, revitalized downtown.

“Everyone loves to eat, but they also value bang for the buck, especially now as we’ve come through an unprecedented time in this country,’’ Contursi says. “I wanted to create a way for people to celebrate dining out again without breaking the bank. I wanted to make them feel special after all they’ve been through. Our new self-guided tour option, which is unlike anything else around, is perfect for people who prefer a smaller group setting.’’

Finger Licking Foodie Tours start at $79 per person, and are perfect for singles, couples, and groups of friends or families. Click here to make a reservation.
