Sunday, May 11, 2008 is
Mother’s Day and it is a wonderful time to show your mother, grandmother,
stepmother, or anyone who has been like a mother to you much you appreciate
them. I have come up with some ideas to make this Mother’s Day a special
one.
Morton’s
the Steakhouse is featuring their Mother’s Day Champagne Cocktail with
champagne poured over a beautiful Wild Hibiscus flower, which “blooms”
before the eyes. A
feast for the eyes, this
bubbly is perfect as a pre-dinner cocktail, a celebratory toast with dinner
or accompanied by one of the restaurant’s decadent desserts.
“The Mother’s Day
Champagne Cocktail is truly a beautiful creation, and mom will know she’s
very special when she’s presented with this cocktail,” said Daniel Hurst,
general manager of Morton’s The Steakhouse in Las Vegas. “The Wild Hibiscus
Flower is a handsome garnish that’s also edible.”
The Wild Hibiscus flower
garnish sits on the bottom of a fluted glass and chilled champagne is poured
over it, making the flower “bloom” to reveal its magnificent colors. The
Wild Hibiscus flower is an edible garnish with a sweet flavor.
Morton’s The Steakhouse
will also feature an exclusive menu for $59 per person on Mother’s Day.
The Mother’s Day menu
includes a choice of salad:
• Morton’s Salad
with Morton’s Blue Cheese Dressing, chopped egg and anchovies
• Caesar Salad
with classic dressing
A choice of one entrée:
• Single-cut filet
mignon, béarnaise sauce
• Filet Diane with
sautéed mushrooms in a demi glace mustard
• Filet Oskar,
asparagus, jumbo lump crab, béarnaise sauce
• Broiled salmon
filet, chef’s beurre blanc sauce
• Colossal Shrimp
Alexander, beurre blanc sauce
• Chicken
Christopher, garlic beurre blanc sauce
One side dish:
• Vegetable
• Potato
One dessert:
• Morton’s
Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake
• New York
Cheesecake
Morton’s regular menu is
also offered on Mother’s Day. From appetizers like the new Chilled and
Baked Ocean Platters to entrees such as steaks, chicken, lamb and more, mom
will have lots of options.
Morton’s The Steakhouse
in Las Vegas is located at 400 East Flamingo Road. Hours are 5 p.m. to 11
p.m. Monday through Saturday and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. For more

Chefs Louis Osteen and Carlos Guia show their gratitude to moms
this Mother’s Day with specialty menu items
and a jazz brunch at Louis’s Las Vegas
located at Town Square. The brunch features the classic Louis’s brunch menu
of upscale and updated renditions of Southern specialties. The specialty
items for Mother’s Day include an appetizer of Grilled and
Marinated Spring Asparagus with blood orange vinaigrette and marinated jumbo
lump crabmeat. The featured entrée is Eggs
Versailles featuring Poached Eggs served over House Cured and Hickory
Smoked Salmon, Buttermilk Biscuits and
Hollandaise Sauce, topped with American Sturgeon Caviar. For dessert, the
chefs created a Spring Berry Cobbler baked with a Brown Sugar-Cinnamon
Crumble and topped with Buttermilk-Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

There will be free
admission, dessert and a concert at the Liberace Museum to celebrate
Liberace’s birthday and his love for his mother on Sunday, May 11 from 12
noon to 4 pm. May 16 would have been Liberace's 89th birthday and in
celebration, the 2008 Music In The Museum Series is featuring the Liberace
Scholars Quartet.
Students from The
University of Nevada, Las Vegas, will perform Mozart's String Quartet in D
Major, K. 575. Written in 1789, just two years before the composer's
premature death, this piece represents Mozart at the height of his craft. It
was commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II, King of Prussia, an amateur
cellist; and for this reason Mozart highlights the cello in this elegant
masterpiece.
The Mozart Quartet in D
Major will be paired with Joseph Haydn's Quartet in F Minor, Op. 20, No. 5,
to be performed by another of UNLV's premier student groups.
Performance times of the
Liberace Scholars Quartet are 1:30pm and 3:00pm. Donations are requested for
both performances. All contributions go to the Liberace Scholarship Fund to
help talented students pursue careers in the performing and creative arts.
Liberace founded the
Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts in 1976 and since
has awarded more than 5.5 million dollars in scholarship grants to more than
2200 students at over 110 colleges and universities. Liberace considered The
Foundation one of his greatest achievements.
