Southern Italian dishes & nightly live entertainment in old-school setting
"The Bootlegger is a Las Vegas institution. It has been dishing out plates of spaghetti, sausage subs, and slabs of lasagna for decades. Grab a cannoli or slice of cheesecake and settle in for the nightly jazz performance." - Ryan Slattery
"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

"This Italian family-owned and operated restaurant began in the early 1940s and continues to serve hearty classics such as ravioli and lasagna. The robust menu has dishes like pappardelle bolognese ($26) and prawns scampi linguine ($36) but the real draw is the nightly entertainment." - Janna Karel
"Since 1949, Bootlegger Bistro dished out southern Italian fare using the original recipes of chef Maria Perry. The restaurant features live music along with house specialties such as bistecca alla griglia, lasagna made from Maria’s original recipe, linguini alla vongole with chopped clams, and Maria’s saltimbocca, rolled and filled with Genoa salami and cheese in Italian egg batter sautéed in wine mushroom sauce." - Janna Karel
