I can't enough about this place as where to go to show out of town guests a piece of classic Las Vegas.
Anyplace named "I Lov it" spelled backward by Liberace is worth a try especially if you remember his shows.
We went as a group and sat in the piano bar room. The owner was happy to show us all of the great Liberace memorabilia and where when the place was owned by Liberace he liked to sit.
Our food was fantastic! I had the chicken livers tarragon. This was the recommendation of our server for something unique from their menu. It was fantastic tremendously filling with lots of garlic, butter, good wine, and perfectly prepared tender livers. If you are a fan of liver (I know it is not everyone's favorite) this is the meal for you.
Kelly our bartender knows all of the classic cocktails and talked us into trying an Italian margarita. She also can make the champagne drinks Liberace loved so much. This is a great place for a good classic cocktail.
The restaurant is not your typical pub for Las Vegas. No video poker machines, no blaring televisions, you go here and talk to the rest of your party. Compared to the strip food the portions are generous and reasonably priced.
Families are welcome and seated in a separate section of the restaurant for a traditional family dinner. Then we saw some secret booths at the front which reminded us of down-low mob meeting places where nobody is going to see you spill the goods to the feds.
An evening at Carluccios makes me rejoice in that for once Las Vegas has embraced its' history and the owners of this place have decided to keep kitsch alive!
