Entertainment Columns
One of my regular readers told me a few months ago that he’d had meatloaf, really good meatloaf, at a newish off-the-Strip restaurant called — wait for it — Off the Strip, and although the restaurant was kinda upscale, the meatloaf was just $10.
John Madden has been very good to Frank Caliendo. Except that Madden doesn’t seem to much care for him.
This is one of the primary reasons I never get tired of doing the Taste of the Town column: It’s a great source of surprises.
Zion National Park’s colorful autumn foliage delights visitors through a long, beautiful season. Early color among the stands of aspens in the park’s high back country peaks in mid-October and rapidly disappears. Just now beginning to show, the color in the park’s canyons lingers well into November along the Virgin River and other watercourses and in the Kolob portion of the park. Cottonwoods, box elder, maple and others do their best for visitors during coming weeks.

The new Hard Rock Cafe brings a new entertainment venue to the Strip, but it’s more modest than the big Joint most Las Vegans associate with the Hard Rock name.
All-beef? Pork-and-beef? Heck, no. Peggy Wade is looking for buffalo — or bison — hot dogs, and readers know just where they can be rounded up.
Four shows closed last week. But the producer of one told me “closed” is a harsh word. That’s because, in their mind, all four will return.
