THE COLTON REPORT: BODY ENGLISH DUNZO

 

After nearly six years as one of Las Vegas' top nightclubs, Body English is set to shutter its doors for good immediately following their final New Year's Eve bash at

the end of 2009. While we are sad to see this Vegas veteran finally laid to rest, our mourning turns to excitement as the Hard Rock is in the process of developing their

next major nightclub. Internally referred to as "the new Body English," the currently unnamed new 18,000 sq ft venue will open December 31st, 2009 inside the new

Hard Rock tower that is currently under construction. No word on whether Timmy, Body English's 3ft tall elevator operator, will make the transfer…

 

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

 

 

It seems like Vegas shows are coming and going so quickly these days, "An Evening at La Cage" is dunzo. La Cage was a caberet show featuring female impersonators, the most famous was headliner Frank Marino as Joan Rivers. Marino told the RJ that he will return with his own drag show.

 

 

 

FAMED EATERY CAPO'S OPENS A SECOND SPOT ON SAHARA

 

 

If Sinatra, Martin, Davis, and Lawford came back today – Capo’s new location on Sahara is where they would be. While the original Capo’s is still going strong, Nico Santucci has outdone himself with a new “speakeasy” inspired by a time when red leather banquettes, velvet wall paper, crystal chandeliers, and crooners were found at only the best restaurants. While the décor has a decidedly “throwback chic” vibe, the overall feeling is that the real Vegas is back! Not only does the restaurant feature an intimate dining room where live entertainment is offered nightly, but there is a casual dining option featuring a large bar overlooking the exhibition kitchen. You can also dine in or retire to the Card Room and play cards or dominos after dinner while watching classic wise-guy films. For the more adventurous – check out the Roulette Room. Like Capone’s vault, it’s hidden, so you’ll have to ask the man himself to let you see what’s behind the wall. Once the décor and vibe have taken you in, the food is what will make you come back for more. Santucci has infused contemporary influences into family recipes, to create classic yet modern Italian cuisine. With a selection of signature martinis, Capo’s also brings back the days when a drink was a drink. Served strong and with plenty of reasons to ensure you’ll remember a time when a drink was actually worth it, we promise you’ll leave happy. As an incentive to try the drinks, Fuggadaboutit Friday’s offers a 2-for-1 special in the both restaurant bars. From taking your lady out on the town to entertaining the in-laws, Capo’s Italian Cuisine on Sahara is a place everyone will remember! 5675 W. Sahara Ave. (between Jones & Decatur) / 702.364.CAPO (2276).
