A Five‑Star Afternoon And Night With Family Food Fun & Laughs At Dave & Buster’s Downtown Summerlin NV

I write articles and blogs about music, entertainment & sports. What better than to write about an awesome restaurant & hangout that has all three! Plus, some of the best-tasting stadium food out there!

Dave & Buster’s in Downtown Summerlin is one of those places that just makes you smile the second you walk in. Bright lights, great energy, and the kind of atmosphere where families, friends, and birthday crews (Like ours) all blend together for a night of pure fun. The Mrs. and I started things off with the flatbread pizza, and wow—this pizza pie was a total winner. Crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor from the first bite to the last. Meanwhile, our birthday girl and her grandma shared a plate of boneless honey BBQ wings with fries, and both of them gave it the big thumbs‑up. When two generations agree on the same dish, you know it’s good.

After dinner, we headed straight for the games, and that’s where the night really took off. Skee‑ball, basketball hoops, racing games, themed adventures—you name it, they’ve got it. There’s more than enough to keep everyone busy, from the littlest players to the grown‑ups who still love a good arcade challenge. The vibe was fun, the décor cool, and our server, Dee, made the whole experience even better with his super-fast service and great menu knowledge.

The food, staff, the games, and the entertainment fun factor: Five stars all the way!

Dave & Buster’s, you made our night, can’t wait to come back for round two!

You Blew Me Away!

Ghostly Secrets Of The Las Vegas Strip

 The Strip is all glitz on the surface, but there’s a lot more going on if you know where to look. 

Here’s a mix of Ghostly gems, quirky facts, and behind-the-scenes vibes that the Las Vegas Strip has to offer if you know where to look.

Hidden Bars & Speakeasies

• The Laundry Room – A secret bar inside Commonwealth (located in Downtown, but worth the short trip). Text for reservations only. Super intimate with craft cocktails.

• Ghost Donkey (Cosmopolitan) – A neon-lit mezcal bar hidden behind a door in the Block 16 food court.

• 1923 Prohibition Bar (Mandalay Bay) – Tucked away behind a bookcase near the Shops at Mandalay Place.

• The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails is the ultimate blend of vintage grooming and high-energy nightlife. By day, it’s a classic barbershop offering top-notch cuts and straight-razor shaves, but after hours. That’s when the real magic happens.

Secret Menus & VIP Perks

• In-N-Out (LINQ Promenade) – Ask for the "Animal Style" or "Flying Dutchman" if you’re in the know.

• Nobu (Caesars Palace) – There’s a VIP entrance that most people don’t know about, and they’ll prepare an off-menu omakase if you ask the chef directly.

Casino Secrets

• No Clocks or Windows – Classic, but true. Keeps you disoriented and gambling longer.

• "Eye in the Sky" – The domes on ceilings? They’re surveillance, but they also have hidden cameras behind mirrored glass in ceilings and fixtures you’d never suspect.

• High Roller Rooms – Even most hotel guests never see these. They’re decked out like luxury suites with private staff, security, and sometimes even secret elevators.

Free & Secret Shows

• Secret Elvis – There's an off-the-books Elvis impersonator who roams the Strip doing private serenades (usually near the Venetian).

• MGM Grand’s KÀ Rehearsals – Occasionally open to the public during select mornings. Quietly announced on MGM's event boards or concierge desk.

Hotel Tricks

• Upgrade Hack – Slip the front desk a $20 “Vegas Sandwich” (cash between your ID and credit card) and politely ask if there are any complimentary upgrades.

• Hidden Floors – Some hotels (like the Bellagio) have unmarked private floors for high-rollers and celebs. Think entire penthouses no one talks about.

Off-the-Strip Views

• Secret Pizza (Cosmopolitan) – Not just for the pizza — the hallway leading to it is one of the coolest photo ops no one expects.

• VooDoo Lounge (Rio) – Killer view of the Strip, but barely anyone goes anymore. Great for night shots and no crowds.

Now that you're in on the secrets, just remember. 

What you do with this Vegas Insider info is up to you. But if anyone asks... you didn’t hear it from me!

Have Fun!
