Often overshadowed by the Strip's neon lights, longtime family-run favorite Bootlegger Bistro reopened on the South Strip in 2001 to zealous local applause. The round-the-clock Italian eatery may be more likely to seat Gladys Knight than Paris Hilton, but the mellow adult crowd prefers the classic nightly lounge acts and home-style Mediterranean eats to Vegas' dime-a-dozen "ultra lounges." Where else could you split generous portions of shrimp scampi while owner (and Nevada's former lieutenant governor) Lorraine Hunt performs, or feast on late-night steak and eggs while Monday night karaoke regulars are accompanied by their own personal musicians? Full bar. Open 24 hours.
