Former Mayor Oscar Goodman to open new restaurant!! Downtown at The Plaza!








 Former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar
Goodman will open Oscar’s, a uniquely Las Vegas steakhouse, inside the iconic
dome of the Plaza Hotel and Casino overlooking Fremont Street and the heart of
his beloved downtown Las Vegas.





Expected to open later this
fall, the new fine dining restaurant will serve dinner nightly and a Sunday
brunch.





“I can’t wait to open Oscar’s
– my own steakhouse – that will have the charm and glamour of the
Las Vegas that I love,” said Goodman. “Many people may remember
that I once called for the Plaza to be torn down, but the much-needed
investment by its committed owners has transformed it into the coolest place in
Vegas.”





The decor of Oscar’s will be
glamorous and uniquely Vegas, incorporating memorabilia from Goodman’s 12-year
tenure as mayor and classic photographs of
Las Vegas over the years.





Adjacent to the steakhouse
will be a new Italian restaurant and speakeasy – paying homage to Goodman’s
years as an advisor and private attorney representing high-profile clients that
played a role in making Vegas what it is today. 
Serving the customers of both restaurants will be a new bar and lounge
that will serve a variety of cocktails, including martinis, the former mayor’s
signature drink.





“We wanted to identify a
unique restaurant concept to open in the dome,” said Tamares Real Estate
Chairman Poju Zabludowicz, whose company owns the Plaza and other downtown
properties.  “Former Mayor Goodman
epitomizes the spirit and nostalgic tradition of vintage
Las Vegas, and Oscar’s is the perfect brand for the Plaza’s
iconic dome.”





“We are honored that the
Plaza will be home to Oscar’s, one of the mayor’s first ventures since he left
office this summer,” added Tony Santo, president and CEO of Play LV, the
operator of the Plaza Hotel and Casino. 
“We are very proud of the new Plaza which is due to re-open next month,
and Oscar’s steakhouse will give local residents and tourists alike another
great reason to visit.”
