Oh Mary Menu!
Sue W.

Love coming here before and after shows for their drink specials! They are always themed and its so fun. We sat in the lounge area this time as it was busy and unfortunately I learned they had a shortened menu. Understandable, however, there was only one item I could eat which was burrata (mjnus the bread). It was disappointing since the dining room menu has much more options. I wouldnt return here to eat again unless they expanded the lounge menu.

I love sitting at the bar waiting for a show at Smith Center and enjoying the Happy Hour! The slider & meatballs were delicious! My favorite dessert is the pistachio lemon ricotta. YUM! This is the best jazz club restaurant in Las Vegas.

Dates of visit: May 26, 2026 + June 4, 2026 This was a tougher review for me, REALLY wish there was a half-star that I could implement here as three seems too low and four seems too high. Both experiences were very similar: Great food and just so-so service. First up, the May visit: I made a reservation because OpenTable, but there was really no need--there were only two other tables in the joint. Despite how quiet it was, there was a young lady from the music conservatory playing piano and while classical isn't really my thing, it was very nice and didn't drown out our conversation. Christopher seated us and took our order and he started out great but ran out of steam pretty much after we ordered. I suspect that because it was so quiet, he wasn't going to be making much and kind of gave up. Which is too bad because my carbonara was delicious! Normally that would be it for me; I'm a one and done with most dining experiences, especially when there are so many places to try in a city like Las Vegas. However, I was bringing my mom back to the area to see a show at The Smith Center and there's really no better place to dine before a show than Vic's, given its proximity to the theatre and the great parking rate. Fast forward to the June visit: The place couldn't have been more packed with people, and it was clear they were all going to the same place after. Despite that, the food was excellent again! This time I went with the spaghetti and meatballs and the high-quality pasta could really be observed in the dish. But again service was a bit middling, with our server slow to greet us and didn't check on us during the meal, we were all done by the time she came to inquire about us. I know this place could have service to match its food and hope to give it another try sometime.

The experience here was phenomenal! Service was top notch. I wish I remembered the name of the server. Food was amazing. There's a young piano player there the entire time we dined. It's a little dark and ominous inside but relaxing. I would for sure go back. They also have a full bar and a lounge area.

Pizza-the crust though - it is the best

In looking for a restaurant with live jazz, I found this had great reviews-and we were not disappointed :). We went on a weeknight and we told The jazz ensemble happens on Friday and Saturdays, but we were pleasantly surprised with a wonderful young pianist from a local school who played so beautifully. We thought it was a recording. The restaurant has three options, one a sports lounge to a bar and then the restaurant I find this awesome because you can choose your thing you depending on the vibe you are looking for and it is all in one place. Also, we were happy to come during the week day because on the weekend they only have a small bites menu which for my preference wasn't very appealing, but the full menu that we had, especially those lobster bites - I would definitely go back to the bar just to get those - absolutely delicious!! The only drawback which if you read them any of my reviews, you know I hate paying for parking. It wasn't very expensive only six dollars but still I hate paying for parking and paying for whatever meal event I'm going to spend money twice other than that the location is wonderful ambience is great. Food is amazing. Staff is the best. I would definitely put this on my go to list for dining out!!!

Antipasto salad

Going to a show at the Smith Center and wanted to grab dinner before the show. What could be more convenient than Vic's, right across the street and not having to move the car? Hidden tip - If you will be in the garage for less than 4 hours, Vic's will comp half the parking fee. Just don't prepay the parking. Vic's honors reservations( which is a good idea when eating before a show - lots of people have the same idea and it could get crowded). The restaurant is surprisingly pretty inside, separate from the bar area. There was a piano player - nice background music while dining. I went with the sausage and peppers pizza ($23). My wife got the antipasto salad ($22). The pizza was OK. The salad was excellent! Lovely ambiance, delightful piano background, excellent service, and good food at a fair price with a great location for a show. We will be back.

Shrimp Fra Diavolo

Decades ago, we used to go to all the great jazz/supper clubs in New York. They are all gone now. So, I was delighted when I saw the listing for Vic's. Open for three years now, its owners tried to recreate the feel of the "old Vegas" lounges. They succeeded in spades. The service, from start to finish was great. Friendly and attentive. Our server, Amy, made some great suggestions. The minestrone was rich and flavorful, loaded with veggies and ditalini. The nicely dressed Caesar salad was big enough to share. The Chicken Parmesan. Had a deep, rich sauce and was accompanied by rigatoni. The Hanger Steak special was really good - perfectly cooked. Finally, the Shrimp Fra Diavolo was nice, although the accompanying pasta was a bit gummy. We shared some nice deserts - - and the cocktails were perfectly crafted. The highlight of our evening was the five piece jazz ensemble led by Jalen Baker and Jason Hainsworth. They played a great set of traditional jazz and we really enjoyed their performance. When I am back in Las Vegas, Vic's will be on top of my list to visit.

I'm always happy to update a review and be able to report that a business improved, and this is the case with Vic's! We decided to give Vic's another try before a Saturday night Smith Center performance. Reservations are easy to make online and are highly recommended! We were seated right away in a comfortable booth as soon as we arrived. We had a good view of the stage and the live jazz music performance. Our server was quite friendly and attentive, although we did have to track her down at the end of the meal to get the check and pay so we would not be late for our performance. Since this is probably a popular spot for pre-show dining, it might be good to train servers to inquire with guests when they arrive if they are attending a show that night. They must have a good mixologists, because all the cocktails were great! I absolutely loved the peanut butter sour - one of the best cocktails I have ever had! Ice cold and perfectly balanced without overwhelming peanut butter flavor. I had a brandy alexander with dessert which was similarly delicious. I also enjoyed some prosecco with my entree which was was served in a small bottle which meant it still had all its carbonation! To start we had the shrimp cocktail and a minestrone soup. The shrimp tasted delicious and fresh. The soup was tasty and featured a hearty mix of vegetables but was a little light on the pasta. I had the braised pork entree. It was extremely tasty and very tender with a lovely sauce and perfectly cooked tagliatelle pasta. We also tried the roasted red potato side dish. These were all perfectly cooked with crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors. A bit more flavor would have been welcomed with the potatoes, however, such as perhaps some rosemary. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse cake. It was generously sized and plenty for two to share. The cake was exceptionally tender with a rich chocolate flavor. Overall, this was a much better experience at Vic's than our first visit! This may become our new pre-show dining spot for the Smith Center!

Came in on a holiday with friend for lunch. There was no one here except us. 2pm on a Monday. You do either have to pay for parking, or get it validated in the restaurant. This place has a very warm atmosphere. The lunch special had plenty to offer and not too pricey. We ordered the half sandwich. Which comes with fries, soup or salad. $15 I mean hey that's not too bad. The food was on point. Hannah was our server, she was very sweet and patient. I would love to come back when they have their jazz nights. It's a cute gem.

Vic's did not disappoint. From the minute you walk in you can feel the relaxing vibes and smell the amazing food. The dim lighting and the decor is spot on and reminds me of old Vegas . Our waiter was so attentive and ensured if we had any questions about the menu he could answer them. Live band playing as well and they were superb. Our food was superb. I ordered veal , and hubby ordered steak. Our friends ordered a pork dish and clams. Definitely will be a place we will be going back to again. Great mother's day dinner

My family of 6 + 4 family members entered this restaurant with no reservation, it was close to my sisters' post grad location. Wished we came at night to listen to live jazz/music! Restaurant was very clean, plates, utensils set out on table. Our waitress was amazing with recommendations and service. Due to our big party, wait did take awhile, however we all got our food at the same time which I appreciated. My aunt is vegan, I was glad they had vegan options for her!!! Definitely a great pick for the day and occasion. Thank you Vic's we enjoyed the food and vibes

Atlantic Salmon
Robbin B.

After years of visiting The Smith Center and always saying "next time," We finally dined at Vic's before The Nutcracker on Dec 23, 2025 and it did not disappoint. Perfect pre-show dining with a cool, classic vibe and live piano music. A short and easy walk to The Smith Center, I chose to valet (my normal routine). Although, there's a parking garage just steps away from Vic's who happily validates. We kicked things off with shrimp cocktails, an espresso martini or two and the festive holiday cocktail Elsa so delicious and fun. I ordered the Atlantic salmon, prepared gluten and dairy free. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. My daughter loved her Rotini Pasta Primavera, perfectly sized and topped with fresh parmesan. Dessert sealed the deal: Tiramisu -a true aficionado, she left nothing behind except high praise. **Bonus points for being very allergy-conscious, which I truly appreciate. **Great service, great vibes, ideal location. **Vic's will officially become part of my Smith Center pre show dining.

What a gem! We just looked for food in the area and came upon this place. It's right by the Smith Center and the Discovery Children's Museum. The ambience is great, there was a high school jazz trio playing who were quite good. We had two appetizers and drinks, plus the sea bass (fish of the day), clams and the bread pudding for desert was also tasty. Service was as you'd expect at this price point. They know when to come and when to leave you to enjoy the experience. We will definitely add this to our date night rotation.

The drink I had was well balanced and strong, where some bars can water down the cocktails. It was cool that the bartender helping us was the one that made that cocktail! Overall would recommend to stop by if you're staying in the W or Mandalay Bay or anywhere near the south side of the strip

It would help if there weren't fingerprints smudged on the pane glass. Very secluded, & quiet.. It could be due to the minor signage, where u if you're not paying attention, you'll miss it. Definitely gives business deal vibes! If I had some deals lined up, I'd close them here for sure. Perfect setting to cheer a huge business deal. It's a bougie spot.. u know, upscale. I realized that when I looked at the menu & realized they had no food.. So, I ask bartender, like.. "where the wings at?" lol.. I'm thinking wings, fries, sliders, calamari.. nope! I think he said they removed food from the menu & we laughed. It's cool, calm, & collective up here.

We had so much fun we went back on Sunday night just expecting good energy and live music. We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there. If you made it to the end of this review, I hope you make an effort to visit Pinky Ring, you might get lucky!!

The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

Bartenders were friendly, knew their stuff, and the drink specials were solid. We stuck to the cocktails and they were excellent, strong, balanced, and exactly what you want in a proper tiki bar. They do have food, though we didn't try any this time. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is a fun spot to duck into with friends or family and disappear into some full on tiki madness for a while. Definitely worth the short trip off the Strip.

And it's a perfectly convenient stop for a drink when meeting others in the lobby to leave for dinner. Bartender Christian is as friendly as all the staff at the Rio and took great care of us. The cocktail game is real and we had some excellent, beautiful drinks. There was a live singer some nights. (Lapa & Luckley's have happy hours a few days a week) Also, I don't know how often this happens, but while in the casino we were given a buy one get one coupon for drinks here! But be sure to tip on your total before the discount ;)
