If the last year was the debut season for Emmitt’s Vegas on the Strip, this dining destination should probably be considered for Rookie of the Year honors. The restaurant’s namesake and founder, NFL legend Emmitt Smith, won that award in 1990. Obviously, it wasn’t a fluke, as Smith went on to a Hall of Fame career and is still football’s all-time leading rusher.

Heading into her fifth WrestleMania, Bianca Belair is engaged in a bit of an embroilment. Two, actually. The five-time champion known for seemingly superhuman strength and agility will be squaring off against her two greatest rivals, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley, for the women’s world championship Sunday night, April 20, at Allegiant Stadium. These three have been wowing audiences and dominating the WWE women’s division in recent years, and there’s no clear favorite. But there’s some other drama.

The time has come. After Carrie Underwood christened the Resorts World Theatre in December of 2021, her landmark Las Vegas residency show Reflection is coming to a momentous close this weekend. If you didn’t make it, you can get a taste from the live concert special available to stream on Hulu, released in January of this year. But your biggest big screen could never represent the live spectacle of Reflection, an epic production of which the country star remains infinitely proud.

It wasn’t a boom, but the Strip did have a surge in supper clubs before and during the pandemic era, a time when it just made sense to combine live entertainment and dining in a fun, flashy, somewhat nostalgic way. Some of those venues are still around and still our favorites, and their influence can be felt in new restaurants and clubs all over Las Vegas. Perhaps Rose. Rabbit. Lie. was the kick that got this ball rolling.

Between 32 and 41 million people have come to Las Vegas every year since the pandemic, and most of them engage somehow with the iconic, 4.5-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard known as the Strip.

The Strip made $21.8 billion in total revenue last year, including more than $8.8 billion in gaming revenue.
