The Old Las Vegas Guide - Las Vegas - The Infatuation

"Yes, Bootlegger looks like a suburban Olive Garden from the outside, but its place in Vegas history is undisputed. This classic Italian spot has been a Vegas institution since 1949, and despite the modern digs, has more shticky, Rat Pack allure than the poker room at Golden Gate. Family wedding photos line the walls, and in the main dining room, a stage hosts jazz bands and crooners nightly. A wax figure of the Perry family patriarch greets you at the hostess stand. It’s a cheesy experience even by Old Vegas standards, but the eggplant parmesan is a molten hot masterpiece, and its airport-adjacent location makes it an easy last meal before flying out." - brant cox
