Vic\u2019s is the place to be for all jazz aficionados when it formally opens in 2023! Located at Symphony Park, 355 Promenade Place, across from the Smith Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and easily accessible, Vic\u2019s is a combination Italian restaurant, bar, and live music venue. Vic\u2019s brings together Chris Lowden of \u201cStoney\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Country\u201d fame and Mark DiMartino of DiMartino\u2019s Family Deli, who later operated the upscale Tillerman restaurant.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is named after Fremont Street\u2019s Vegas Vic, a neon smoking, waving cowboy and downtown fixture on the\u00a0Fremont Street Experience\u00a0since 1951. Vic\u2019s plans to feature the iconic image prominently throughout the new venue, including a 20 ft. replica attached to the outside of the building.<\/p>\n

Sue and Paul Lowden recently held a musical preview at Vic\u2019s featuring the Jeff Hamilton Trio\u2019s Merry & Bright. Ann Parenti and I were one of the lucky ones to attend the delightful event. Everything about the place screams success, from the location to mesmerizing music. Best of all, the stage is situated in the larger dining area, so all can be \u201cup close and personal\u201d with the performers while those in the elevated back can see it all, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>

We enjoyed listening to a trio from the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts with Zane Shihadeh (piano), Jack Mechem (drums), and Xavier Mendoza (bass) playing lively jazz, making feet tap, and heads sway with the beat. They were terrific and certainly have a future with their talent in music.<\/p>\n

Then, Sue Lowden introduced Jeff Hamilton\u2019s trio\u2014Jeff Hamilton (drums), Tamir Hendelman (piano), and John Hamar (bass)\u2014and the fun began with beautiful holiday music and laughter. Jeff\u2019s quick wit and the trio\u2019s outstanding music warmed the hearts of all those who have been missing his exceptional jazz music. Their gift of music put everyone into the holiday spirit and the hope that they will return soon to Vic\u2019s.<\/p>\n<\/div>

And there is so much more to come in 2023! Decorated in walnut wood tones, Vic\u2019s brings us back to old-time Vegas, where music flowed at all hours. Vic\u2019s will be open 24\/7, with the restaurant serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and a late-night menu for diners seated at banquettes and tables in a lounge area close to the stage and inside a 14-seat private dining room. The space includes a separate, U-shaped, smoker-friendly bar created with TVs, gaming machines, access to a patio, and windows providing views into the main dining room and live performance area. The space will be large enough for 205 diners, with a designated cigar lounge among its two outdoor patios.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re hungry for excellent food or want to listen to incredible live music, Vic\u2019s is the place to be in 2023. Look for its grand opening coming mid-January.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
