Top News | Tender Steak & Seafood Introduces New Selections – Chef K.C. Fazel Refreshes Menu For The Season
3 hours 5 minutes agoSpring is in the air and K.C. Fazel, Executive Chef of the elegant TENDER Steak & Seafood at Luxor Hotel and Casino, has infused the restaurant’s menu with the freshest ingredients and flavors of the season to offer guests an unparalleled dining experience.
 Fazel has enhanced each selection by introducing a host of new offerings, creating dishes that are made from the purest sources available. “Any recipe is only as good as the ingredients, and the most important part of my job is to find the best ingredients available,” said Fazel.
Fazel does what it takes to ensure this standard is being met, even if it takes going to Hawaii to meet the fishermen to confirm that the fish are going straight from the line to the ice then immediately delivered to the restaurant overnight. He also has gone to Alaska to visit a lamb farm to see that the animals graze freely and are naturally grass fed.
At TENDER, guests can be assured that they are enjoying a dining experience rich in quality; whether it is butter made from a dairy in Websterville, Vermont or honeycomb from Sonoma, Fazel has considered every detail. For his spring selections, the experienced chef has infused the freshest herbs and vegetables into his dishes, straight from farmers markets in Nevada and California. A few seasonal favorites include starters such as the Split Green Pea and Smoked Ham Hock Soup, made with crisp pancetta and braised Napa cabbage in addition to the Spinach and Arugula Salad comprised of organic spinach, wild arugula, feta cheese, toasted almonds and dried cranberries. Fazel also incorporated a few lighter selections to the Artisan Cheese Plate with the Grafton Village Cheddar and Pleasant Ridge Reserve Gruyere and complemented the selections with honeycomb, fresh honey dates, quince paste and cherry fig chutney, plus freshly-baked baguettes.
This spring and summer TENDER will feature Hawaiian Blue Prawns in Garden Vegetable Minestrone on black forbidden rice and Canadian Skuna Bay Salmon, pan-roasted and served on organic farro pilaf and Mediterranean succotash. To accompany the entrées, TENDER has introduced seasonal side dishes including braised Brussels sprouts stewed in an onion and garlic chicken broth and Sautéed Broccolini tossed in sweet chili sauce.
The elegant 12,000-square-foot restaurant features warm cherry wood walls and soft mood lighting for an upscale dining experience. Decorated with leather seating and antler-crusted chandeliers, the interior offers guests a luxurious ambiance combined with a classic and intimate feel. There is a main dining room, bar and lounge and two smaller private dining rooms for meetings, small parties and more, accommodating 15 to 30 guests, respectively.

| Trevi At The Forum Shops Inside Caesars Introduces New Menu And Happy Hour Specials
3 hours 48 minutes agoTREVI at The Forum Shops at Caesars has introduced a new menu and happy hour specials just in time for summer.
The first menu change since its grand opening in 2009, the new selections include an array of classic and contemporary Italian selections crafted by Executive Chef Peter Scaturro. An array of delectable new desserts have also been developed by Sous and Pastry Chef Hank Sbraccia, accompanying his celebrated fresh gelato made daily at the popular dining spot.
Scaturro, a talented chef who learned to prepare Italian dishes through his upbringing and training in New York City, showcases an array of new house specialties on the new menu. Scaturro will continue to update the menu every spring and fall to highlight the freshest ingredients and to offer lighter or heartier dishes in keeping with seasons. In addition to serving up classic Italian cuisine, Scaturro also believes in the quality of service and guests’ experiences at the restaurant.
“My motto has always been to work hard, be honest and treat people the way you’d like to be treated,” said Scaturro. “That’s the way we treat our guests at TREVI.”
TREVI’s specialties include lasagna pizza, a deep-dish pizza topped with layers of Italian sausage, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses and tangy pomarola sauce; shrimp amatriciana, a grilled shrimp dish with spaghetti, pancetta, concasse tomato and onions tossed with homemade marinara; and pollo la griglia, grilled chicken medallions topped with oven-roasted tomatoes, artichoke hearts and provolone cheese in a tomato caper bianco sauce accompanied by risotto cakes and asparagus.
TREVI has also introduced a new happy hour, titled ‘TREVI TIME.’ Available from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday through Friday in the bar, only, drink offerings include $3 bellinis, $4 bottled beers, $6 wines by the glass and martinis. An array of $6 small plate selections are also featured during ‘TREVI TIME,” and include tomato bruschetta, fresh stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari, Romano chicken sliders, homemade meatballs and mini cheese stuffed burgers.
As if the mouthwatering appetizers and entrées weren’t enough, Sbraccia arrives every morning at 2 a.m. to make the homemade gelato. The gelato bar, situated at the opposite side of the patio from the main entrance, features an array of ten flavors every day including popular selections like tiramisu, strawberry sorbeto and chocolate chunk along with two featured flavors of the day by Sbraccia. Other sweet treats and Italian coffees are also available at the gelato bar.
“When I make gelato, you’re going to remember it,” said Sbraccia, whose gelato was described in Food Arts Magazine as ‘the best this side of Florence.’ “I believe in giving people lots of flavor, because that’s how I like it. TREVI sells between 250 and 350 pounds of gelati on a busy day.”
TREVI offers incredible patio dining surrounding the ‘Fountain of the Gods’, a 28-seat oval bar and a grand staircase that leads guests up to the mezzanine level. The newly added mezzanine features dining seating overlooking the fountain through arched windows. A stunning 12-foot tall custom glass chandelier is the focal point and centerpiece of the restaurant as it beautifully hangs from the mezzanine level to the bottom floor.
TREVI has phenomenal group sales offerings with a private or semi-private upper level or the full restaurant available for buyouts. The upper level, overlooking the Fountain of the Gods and framing the lower level, accommodates parties from 20 to 165 guests for a mixer, or up to 140 for a seated dinner. The dining room accommodates 70 guests for a seated dinner, and the entire restaurant, including the patio, seats 400.

| Legendary Entertainer Bill Cosby Returns to Treasure Island May 25
May 15, 2012 21:36:46Iconic funny man Bill Cosby, who has been making audiences laugh for decades with his keen insight into everyday existence, brings his signature comedy to the Treasure Island Theatre May 25 at 8 p.m.
Cosby has earned respect from critics and adoration from fans for his uncanny ability to connect with people through humor and providing insight into the role of parents, children, family members, men and women,. Without resorting to gimmickry or lowbrow humor, Cosby has been compared to such great American humorists as Charlie Chaplin, Will Rogers, W.C. Fields and Groucho Marx. A testament to his status in the world of comedy, Cosby has earned five Grammy Awards for best comedy album.
Known the world over for “The Cosby Show,” which ran from 1984 to 1992 on NBC, Cosby broke racial barriers and sent a powerful message to viewers – that the family unit and raising children matters most. The No. 1 rated sitcom earned six Emmy Awards, three Golden Globes and 10 People’s Choice Awards. It helped set the stage for Cosby’s career as an author, as his book “Fatherhood” remained at No. 1 for more than half of its 54 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List. Among Cosby’s other titles are “Time Flies,” “Love and Marriage,” “Come On People: On the Path from Victims to Victors” and “Friends of a Feather: One of Life’s Little Fables,” which was illustrated by his daughter.
A champion of youth, Cosby’s dedication to helping children realize their potential is evidenced through his Emmy Award-winning “Little Bill” animated series, which aired on Nickelodeon and CBS. Together with partners Tom Werner and Marcy Carsey, Cosby produced “A Different World” on NBC from 1987 to 1993. His other television and film credits include “Obkb,” “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids,” “The Cosby Mysteries,” “Man and Boy” and “Uptown Saturday Night,” where he starred alongside Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte. He has written, produced and directed educational television shows and animated specials.
Few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of Cosby, who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philadelphia housing project. After returning from the Navy, Cosby went on to earn a degree at Temple University and later a master’s and doctoral degree in Education from the University of Massachusetts. As philanthropists, Cosby and wife Camille have made substantial gifts in support of education and to various social service and civil rights organizations. His lifelong contributions to American culture were recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002, America’s highest civilian honor, and the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2009.
