Survivors: Bootlegger, Ferraro's
Falling: El Sombrero, Bob Taylor's Ranch House
“In hospitality, operations that don’t know where they are going – that is, that don’t plan – take the road to high recruitment costs, high training costs and low productivity.”[1]
Bootlegger Bistro: Located on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, the Bootlegger Bistro is more than just another bar/restaurant- it's a classic Vegas experience one should encounter. With a name recognized in Las Vegas for over 30 years, the Bootlegger continues to define just what "Vegas entertainment" is all about. Although it's current location is relatively new, it bears all the trademarks of its original location. Family photos on a particular wall help make customers feel welcome and comfortable while giving off that vintage Vegas vibe.The blend of family style Italian cooking and lounge-style spur-of-the-moment entertainment is what continues to make the Bootlegger a successful and hot spot in Las Vegas. Now owned by Lorraine, who is now Nevada Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt, the family tradition continues see success. The Bootlegger Bistro is a new joint with an old-school feel that serves as a great place for talented performers to both see and be seen and for locals and tourists to go and enjoy!
Ferraro’s: The Ferraro family first opened this lovely neighborhood restaurant over 20 years ago. Founder Gino Ferraro's belief of on holding onto authentic Italian recipes as well as using the freshest ingredients keeps Ferraro’s as a local favorite. Gino’s son, Mimmo Ferraro, followed in his father's culinary footsteps to create a variety of succulent Italian dishes together that even the most picky of eaters enjoy. Ferraro's has a prominent reputation with both locals and celebrities.
“If anything, the rate of job growth and job change in hospitality is among the most rapid of any field.”[2]
El Sombrero: This restaurant has a hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint feel to it. Found mainly in California, its Vegas location has changed several times due to giant hotel plans. El Sombrero is a family-run company since 1950 but just cannot seem to get Vegas right.
Bob Taylor’s Ranch House: If you like the good ‘ol Western feel at a steakhouse, Bob Taylor’s Ranch House is for you! The building, decorated with rustic wood and stone and cowbo
y memorabilia take guests back to the ‘ol Western days. Even with some of the finest Black Angus steaks, Bob Taylor’s Ranch House just can’t seem to hold on. It’s feared that the “’ol Western” feel is not what tourists and locals are looking for when visiting a steakhouse in Las Vegas.
“Employees expect fair treatment, communication of policies and procedures and job security.”[3]
