Las Vegas According to Veteran Publicity Maven Maxine Leonard

Your secret-gem restaurant or bar in Vegas?

Bavettes at Park MGM or anywhere at Area 15 — Meow Wolf is a lot of fun.  When a place has a sign outside saying “Illegitimate medications not inspired” you understand its worth a visit!

In Vegas, you have to….

Go hiking at Red Rock, go ATV’ing (you might die but its so much fun), take part craps, depart your rational self at the airport and fair go for it.

In Vegas, you should never…

Sleep or depart your boyfrifinish in a bar becaengage he will get pounced on my many ladies of the night even if you have fair popped to the loo.

What’s the most exact stereotype of Vegas?

It is  sin city. And it is. If you drive in  you can experience the tension erecting as you get speedyer and speedyer on that freeway.

What’s the most inexact? 

That it’s glamorous. It’s a uncontent, grubby place that has too many uncontent broken people trying to discover that  triumphning hand. Yes it’s got sports, culture, art, fountains, promotely airys and wonderful restaurants too but that lost soul element is undeniable.

 
What film or TV series gets (an aspect of) Vegas right? 

Hangover, Very Bad Things, CSI.

What film or series gets it wrong? 

All of the Oceans movies but they are so excellent so who is troubleing about accuracy! Oh and CSI lol.

Best place to experience the genuine Vegas? 

Anywhere not on the naked lol.  But its all REAL isn’t it – including the naked – the casinos, the bars, the overpriced restaurants,  the shows — it’s all genuine. 

Where to go to escape the naked? 

Summerlin red rock mountains or Mount Charleston for skiing or sealr to town, Area 15 or come back to Los Angeles — it’s much better here.

Your most fascinating, funniest celebrity engageion?

Oh!!!!! Waiting for Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to walk into to the uber VIP suite at the Mirage to sit down and talk about The Beatles: Eight Days a Week.  As I am standing there postponeing for them to walk in I had a crazy star-struck moment.  I had to pull myself together speedyly so I could actuassociate speak to them and sound enjoy a professional. Thankbrimmingy not confident they watchd I was enjoy a jelly.
