From the article:

"The staff here was incredibly helpful and accommodating...The food was impeccable, very well thought out, and you can easily tell much love went into preparing each dish... By far one of the best intimate musical experiences I’ll ever have, and it could only have happened at The Vegas Room. "

" If you're among those who yearn for the return of vintage-Vegas glamour, your prayers have been answered.  Step through the red doors of The Vegas Room and enter a world where dinner and music are served on a plate of elegance.  Here you'll enjoy the most gifted entertainers of Sin City, showcasing their talents in an intimate presentation that you won't see anywhere else.

" It’s a Manhattan-style, duck-in place certain to draw a discriminate crowd. And you have to be great to play this room. The talent booked by (Brent) Barrett, a onetime Phantom in “Phantom — The Las Vegas Spectacular,” is among the city’s best. "

We have run into an assortment of characters over the years at the Commercial Center of Las Vegas. But never Mr. Bojangles.

That changed over the weekend at The Vegas Room, where Eric Jordan Young and Philip Fortenberry performed a spirited cabaret show for a couple of dozen dinner diners.

The shows on Friday and Saturday nights were akin to a parlor hang of friends and family. It was such a throwback vibe it could have played out in black and white, except for Young’s lemon-yellow suit.

 This weekend brings the official opening of a new dining and entertainment venue just east of the Strip in the historic Commercial Center on Sahara Avenue. 

It’s called The Vegas Room and it has chosen the supremely talented Eric Jordan Young to take the stage to kick things off.

Today was incredibly special.
My first live entertainment since, you know ... and, the First-Ever Jazz Brunch at The Vegas Room featuring Amanda King and Patrick Hogan! 

It was intimate, captivating, delightful and delicious. Only 19 guests in the room.

Precautions and distancing in place (including temperature check and hand sanitizer at the door). Well done!!
Congratulations and thank you Thomas Richard Michel, Chef David James Robinson and Entertainment Director Brent Barrett for creating this special place for Las Vegas locals. I'll definitely be a regular!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ S.L.

Great show so far.  

Intermission. 

 I don't wait it to end.  

No phones and no talking.  

Pure entertainment at its best.  

John D.

 I was so impressed last night and I felt safe. 

Most people kept their masks on after eating and nearly everyone put them on to mingle before and after the show. 

Taking your temperature at the door and encouraging the use of hand sanitizer when you come in. Utensils are wrapped and hand wipes are provided. Well done. The food is delicious, service is excellent.

This is the new locals hang, and they are doing it right. My favorite part is that there is no service during the performance. No clinking in the kitchen. No chatter in the room. So you are acutely tuned in, and it's a different, intimate, personal experience.

I love this place ... and the people involved.
I will be there the next two weekends. It has been my only entertainment outings so far.
Thank you and Congratulations.
#Respect 

The Vegas Room is the new “hot spot” in town! 

I’ve been there 3 times and I'm so impressed with their incredible format! Good job you two!!! 

I pray your business will be blessed by many!
