Reno is known for its abundance of sushi restaurants. In fact, regardless of where you live in the area, you’re pretty much guaran-teed to find a sushi restaurant nearby featur-ing all-you-can-eat specials. So, how do you narrow it down to the good ones? Which sushi places are worth the drive across town to ensure an authentic, fresh, and delicious meal? Cease your searching, fellow sushi lovers. Hiroba Sushi is the place to go. Nestled in the Skyline Café shopping cen-ter, Hiroba Sushi’s bright sign makes it easy to find. The modern Asian décor and warm tones on the walls makes it instantly inviting. As soon as you walk in, you’ll be immediately greeted by one of the friendly sushi chefs. The menu is diverse and even features a veg-etarian section to cater to all clientele. Not to mention, the food is delicious. Restaurant owner Osu Kwon has been in the restaurant business for 14 years. He used to work at Rickshaw’s Fine Asian Bistro and de-veloped the entire menu, running the place for a year. Kwon decided it was time to move on and open his own restaurant, and Hiroba was the result. Recently, Kwon expanded Hiroba and has 15 more seats, cutting down the wait time and long lines. He hired more sushi chefs

Sushi 101

NiGiRizuSHi - hand-formed sushi, consists of an oblong mound of sushi rice that is pressed between the palms of the hands, usually with a bit of wasabi, and a topping draped over it.

GuNKANmAKi - warship roll - is a special type of nigirizushi: an oval, hand-formed clump of sushi rice that has a strip of “nori” wrapped around its perim-eter to form a vessel that is filled with some soft, loose or fine-chopped in-gredient that requires the confinement of nori such as roe, natto, oysters, sea urchin, corn with mayon-naise, and quail eggs.

mAKizuSHi - rolled sushi - is cylindrical piece, formed with the help of a bam-boo mat, called a makisu. makizushi is generally wrapped in nori.

than most sushi restaurants because he wanted to make sure customers didn’t have to wait to get their food. Business is fantastic, and Osu couldn’t be happier. Although some sushi restau-rants have a limited lunch menu compared to their din-ner menu, Hiroba doesn’t fol-low that pattern. One can get the exact same menu at lunch as at dinner, but at a dis-counted rate. And as always, Kwon’s focus is on freshness. “It’s important that the food is always fresh,” explains Kwon. “Limiting the menu forces you to use the same fish multiple days in a row, and that isn’t fresh sushi.” Kwon is also featuring cheaper à la carte menu items as he be-lieves the majority of sushi res-

taurants tend to overcharge. In addition, there are many lunch and dinner happy hour specials throughout the week. Monday, you receive 10% off your all-you-can-eat meal all day. You receive a free bottle of warm sake on Tuesday and Wednes-day with any all-you-can-eat meal. Thursday is buy one beer, get one free all day. It’s worth checking out Hi-roba not only for the sushi quality, but also for the amaz-ing deals and friendly staff. It’s impossible to leave Hiroba without being completely sati-ated. Hiroba is open every day of the week from 11am to 9pm, so grab some friends, and don’t miss out on some of Reno’s best sushi.Text by Kate LongPhotos by Arturo Torres

Located on S. Virginia St, between David’s Bridal and Magic Carpet Golf,

high-quality Italian restaurant Vivoli Cafe & Trattoria has all the right moves. From their impeccably-dressed staff to their beautiful dining room, every atmospheric detail has been tailored for elegance. Owner Nunzio Ciaraulo and his wife Cris-tina opened the original Vivoli Cafe in West Hollywood in 2003 in order to bring the West Coast a little of the passion and zest for life that their home town of Florence is known. Their incredible success can be seen not just in the five Zagat recommen-dations they’ve received, but in their ex-panding empire that also includes two restaurants in Southern California and one in Mexico. Neither Zagat Awards nor suc-cess is easily won; quality and excellence are the bottom line in the dining room and the kitchen. The menu features familiar dishes from all different regions of Italy, and creative, au-thentic entrees to satisfy any pallet. To de-sign the menu for their Reno restaurant, Nunzio brought in Executive Chef Donato Partipillo. With 30 years of experience - starting at his grandmother’s elbow in her kitchen as a child - Chef Donato has used his

extensive cooking background in the finest restaurants and homes in America and Eu-rope to Vivoli’s impressive kitchen.

Great care is taken in the preparation of every dish: all the pasta is made in house from the finest quality ingredi-

ents. Sauces are painstakingly crafted from the freshest, most flavorful (never frozen or canned) vegetables and herbs. Real butter, cream, and cheese give the provincial delicacies and hearty meat entrees an added layer of extravagance. Each meal is layered with complex flavors and aromas that put national chain restaurants to shame. The house Chef Special, consisting of lamb

chops, scallops, and shrimp served on sau-téed spinach, is a decadent treat, rich in tradition and spices. The delicate, hand-rolled cannelloni stuffed with a fresh veal ragout is exquisite in a pink marinara sauce. The kitchen also offers a variety of different complex risotto dishes every day, and a plethora of beautiful, sweet desserts. No detail was spared in bringing the utmost quality to every aspect of the restaurant. The wine list features both Italian and California wines from numerous varietals in order to complete any meal. The full bar offers a wide range of liquors, beers, and liqueurs, and a professional espresso machine is always ready to provide the perfect finish to your meal. The bar can be sectioned off from the main restau-rant for private parties and events, and live

music is featured every Friday and Saturday. Vivoli also offers a to-die-for Sunday brunch menu perfect for recovering after a wild week-end or for fueling up for a day on the slopes.

Sometimes we all just need to break away for a minute – from school,

from work, from life. It doesn’t have to be for long or far away. Just enough to catch our breath, fill our bellies, and possibly get a cold glass of beer. We all know and love the places we go to get away for a break. For nearly two decades, The Breakaway has been one of these iconic places for patrons in Reno. With new owners, a new approach, a soon-to-be-out new menu, and a much-needed interior facelift, The Breakaway is better than ever. The new floors, carpet, paint, and felt on the pool table spiffs it up quite a bit, but not enough to change the feel and atmosphere of the classic Reno bar. Don’t worry; the 99 beers are still on the wall, waiting for you to drink them all. New owners Lee Gueffroy and Jan Moberg have fallen in love with Reno and have had their eye on this business for quite a while. Gueffroy and Moberg are excited for a chance to provide this com-munity what it deserves. “I want this bar to be a reflection of what I would like to bring to the community,” Guef-froy says. “An establishment that is fun, re-laxing, safe. A place where people can forget about their troubles.”

This is just a great bar in a cool part of town with good specials and a great

Plus, the daily specials and happy hours are great for anyone looking for a good time and good drinks without drain-ing your wallet. With an eye out for those who don’t have much time, The Breakaway’s new lunch menu coming out will be great for the dis-cerning teacher or student in need of some good, quick sustenance.

With free wi-fi, The Breakaway is the per-fect place to eat, drink, work, and play. For those of you under the legal drinking age, no worries because the eatery is open to you until 9pm.

Be sure to leave work early on St. Patrick’s Day and head home to throw on some random green clothes. You’ll either want to get an inexpensive hotel room or hitch a ride down-town so that you can catch a cab home later that night. When you arrive at the Cal Neva, you’ll need to stop at any of the five bars on the casino floor and buy a drink coupon book for only $10. This coupon book will provide you with free drink specials at each of bars in the casino. The coupons will give you the following drink specials for free at the following bars: a shot of whiskey and a domestic beer at the Front Bar, a Killian’s Irish Red beer at the Keno Bar, an Irish Car Bomb at the Cabaret Bar, a Harp Irish Lager and a well shot at the Sports Bar, and an Irish Thunder Cocktail at the Skyway Bar. If you are strapped for cash, you should try to win the costume contest. Cal Neva is putting up a total of $300 in cash prizes, $100 each for the most tradi-

tional costume, for the most outrageous costume, and for the sexiest cos-tume. The winners will be chosen at the Cabaret Bar at 9pm, and you must be present to win. Saint Pat-rick’s Day falls on a Wednesday this year, which is also karaoke night at the Cal Neva. This pretty much guarantees that you will be entertained. For additional information on the event and for inex-pensive hotel rooms, visit them online at www.club-calneava.com.

The Freight House District

“I see great things in baseball,” said Walt Whitman. “It’s our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Re-pair these losses, and be a blessing to us.” The Freight House District is both a cultural and economic blessing to Reno. The franchise, led by SK Baseball managing partner Stuart Katzoff, is steadily working toward filling a long-needed void in Reno: a communal place that fuses athleticism, the outdoors, dining, and commerce. Named after the historic building next to the emerg-ing entertainment district, The Freight House District has much to offer, including a beer garden, a sports bar, a nightclub, and a high-end Mexican restaurant.

The ambitious project has come a long way in a short time. The Aces played their first game in April 2009. After a successful inaugural season, The Freight House District is set to open in April 2010, and what began as a baseball stadium will

Page 19: Reno Passport - March 2010

www.renopassport.com 17

Text by Nicole Seaton

Page 20: Reno Passport - March 2010

be, upon completion, a one-stop year-round entertainment complex. The location of the development represents a natural influx of en-ergy- the Truckee River is just a few feet from the far end of the park, and one can watch the game, hear the river, and can feel the train passing through the trench simultaneously.

The integral concept behind The Freight House District is experience. While baseball is the primary reason why families would choose to spend the day at the stadium, the innova-tors behind the development have taken every creative facet into consideration in the plan-ning of this vibrant, central meeting place.

The fact that Reno has historically been con-sidered a playground for adults has long left the community with limited options in terms

of all-ages family fun. The Freight House Dis-trict leaves no room for grumbling because even for those disinterested in sports, there is something for everyone. The most promi-nent feature of the project is detail, down to the subtlest embellishment. For example, the children’s area inside the baseball stadium is a replica baseball field, complete with the Aces logo. This attention to design is indica-tive of the commitment to creating an envi-ronment where every member of the family feels comfortable and engaged in their sur-roundings. There are seating accommoda-tions for everyone: large groups, a family picnic area, VIP rooms, and for those who like to be amidst the action, front row seats.

“In the front seats, you’re closer to the bat-ter than the pitcher is,” says TJ Lasita, VP of

Page 21: Reno Passport - March 2010

www.renopassport.com 19

Baseball Operations/Communications. “It doesn’t stop there,” he adds, gesturing around the stadium, including the upcoming Freight House District. “We’re really focused on the experience. Baseball is an anchor to the whole thing.” One can come to the ball-park, he explains, see live music, go to a restaurant, have a drink, watch the game, and go dancing afterwards - all while having to park the car only once because all of the entertainment is concentrated in one place.

Not only does The Freight House District provide a multitude of leisure activities for the whole family, it will have created hun-dreds of seasonal and full-time employment opportunities in Reno. There will be a job fair in mid March for the businesses within The Freight House District, and another later in the month for Levy Restaurants, the ball-park’s food concessionaire. Whether you’re

coming to the Freight House District for work, play, or both, it’s worth your while to get a baseball ticket ($7 for single, $29 for home plate) and take part in the great American pastime.

The management team of EDGE, the fashionable nightspot located in the

Peppermill Resort Spa Casino, shies quickly away from the term nightclub when referring to their venue. “We’re so much more than just a club. We’re a lounge, a live music ven-ue…a place to dance, to celebrate, to have fun,” says Brian Kirgin, General Manager. Having opened more than a year ago with the Skin & Scare Ball on Halloween, EDGE has accomplished what many in the industry strive for: remaining fresh, exciting, and relevant in Reno’s competitive nightlife scene. A stunning

8,000 square-foot venue boasting state-of-the-art light and sound, EDGE is upscale yet inviting at the same time. Kirgin feels present-ing an exemplary service standard with a cre-ative mix of live music and specialty-themed parties has given EDGE the advantage. “Who we are as a venue is reflected in our guests and how we serve them,” says Kirgin. “It’s about satisfying their needs and exceed-ing their expectations. Our VIP service works on setting a new standard everyday. Whether you want a table in the middle of the action or a private room, we can make it happen.”

Through innovation and creativity in the parties and live music it presents, EDGE has redefined

the image of nightlife in Reno. Annual holiday events – such as Halloween’s Skin & Scare Ball, Thanksgiving’s Butter Ball,

and the New Year’s Eve Masquerade party – are complimented by specialty-themed

events like Stiletto Bordello and the Equinox Lingerie party. Notable headliners, such as party-rock duo HardNox and electronica darling Peaches, maintain the exhilarating atmosphere at EDGE through live performance. Popular hip-hop artist, Mic Rob, the first performer to ever take the stage at EDGE, experienced the thrill first hand. Rob laughed when describing the feeling of seeing a full dance floor moving to his music. “Of course I had been to EDGE to party and actually Freez [resident DJ for EDGE] played my track that night,” says Rob. “It was cool to hear my song played, but to perform? To see that packed dance floor swaying to my music with the best sound and lights behind me? That was real cool.” Upcoming events include The Mad Hatter party on March 7, which is in honor of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland movie release. On March 14, check out the Spring Break Fiesta with DJ Jazzy Gems, and in April, both Tattoo You and the Sleepover Pajama parties will be taking place. When asked what EDGE had in store for the busy summer season, Kirgin suggested at great things to come.

“We have a few surprises in the works,” says Kirgin. “What I can tell you is that after 14 months, we are definitely not resting on our laurels. We are constantly striving to provide the best service possible in the most exciting setting. We have big plans for Edge.” For VIP Reservations, call or text Megan at 775.232.8095, Adam at 775.342.3666, or Parker at 775.412.2203, or email Chris at [email protected].

Yuri’s Night is not your typical party; it’s a party….IN SPACE! Since 2001, Yuri’s Night has been celebrated nation and world wide to honor mankind’s very first astronaut to enter outer space, Yuri Gagarin. On April 12, 1961, the Russian cosmonaut was the first human being to enter space and completely orbit Earth. The event is also a celebration of an event that took place ex-actly 40 years after Yuri’s ex-ploration into space – the launch of the first shuttle, Co-lumbia. Yuri’s Night has been celebrated in over 34 countries

worldwide from Japan to Ant-arctica to the U.S.A. and every-where in between. The celebration finally landed in Reno in April of 2006 with the help of a few like-minded cosmonauts: Da-mian “Jellyfish” Janssen, d6, and Kernal Killbuck. Held at Stoney’s on Wells Ave, the party included a wide variety of attractions, including a giant interactive screen, an EL wire preying mantis, full color planets projected in space, mini theme camps, DJs, and amazing costumes by space travelers.

Reno Yuri’s Night, the party has grown to epic proportions as more and more space rev-elers contribute decorations and art every year. This years Yuri’s night is taking place on Saturday, April 10th at the Underground in Reno and is promising to be bigger and better than last years with funds partially benefiting the Jellyfish and crews mega art piece, Ein Hammer. The piece will in-clude a 30 foot tall hammer that people will be able to in-teract with. Proceeding Yuri’s Night, Ein Hammer makes its full debut at Black Rock City 2010. Kernal Killbuck will also be reintroducing a new and improved airlock cham-ber that links The Under-ground and Treehouse Lounge with a spaceship-like door and buttons that will surprise guests in more ways than one. Among the larger attractions will be fantastic interactive visual delights brought forth by Munz /d6 and another debut art instal-lation by Kevan Christiaens.

Besides the visual art, there will also be plenty of thumping frequencies specialized to lis-ten to…IN SPACE! Your audio Captains for the evening will be d6, 5H-GT, and Psilogod, to name a few. The Treehouse Lounge will also be hosting an ambient room with live ambi-ent music to chill out for a bit if hyperspace is too much stimulation for your senses. Last but certainly not least; be sure to catch the special mid-night stage performance with Rotwang and the amazing aer-ial acrobatics throughout the night by The Dragonfly Aerials. If any cadets would like to help out with any projects to make this years Yuri’s Night better than ever, please sign up on the Ning boards @ yurisnightreno.ning.com and find where you would fit the best. There are plenty of proj-ects that need volunteers of all types and skill levels. Jump on, say hello, and hopefully we’ll see you….IN SPACE!Text by Kevin KolstadPhoto provided by Yuri’s Night.

I am an avid lover and believer in the power of small businesses and tend to think I’m rather fluent in the local businesses that frequent the Reno area. When I walked into the Red Chair, I thought to myself, “How have I never been here?” The mellow tunes of Thievery Corporation were playing in the background as I walked through the store that was cleverly and styl-ishly adorned with modern abstract art, beautiful furniture, creatively concocted dis-plays, chic clothing, and eclectic home décor. Soon after I walked in, I was amiably greeted by Aaryn Walker, the store owner. To my surprise, Walker informed me that the store had been up and running for six and a half years. She used to own the store next to hers, now The Nest, and had two running busi-nesses: Red Chair and Estate of Envy. She then decided to consolidate the two businesses into one and kept Red Chair as the store name. Much of the art one can find in the store is actually the owner’s. Walker’s use of modern abstract in correlation with unique typogra-phy that spells out poetic phrases makes it one of a kind. Most of the furniture looks vin-tage and classic, or as she describes it, the furniture has a “mid-century modern” flair. In reality, the furniture is actually brand new.

The second-hand furniture that she does have is in incredible condition and maintains that modern vintage style.

A lot of the furniture and home décor is also custom-made. The throw pillows have funky and rare fabrics that Walker hand-

picked, and each piece of restored furniture is one of its kind. But it doesn’t stop there. Jewelry, sculpture, greeting cards, candles, and clothing garnish the store with elegance and distinction. Local artists and vendors create the majority of what you can find at Red Chair, and the rest is most likely pro-duced by small businesses outside of Reno. “If Reno had an Anthropologie, this would be it,” explains Walker. Red Chair has the chic style of Anthropologie but with an artis-tic and local flair. I couldn’t help but wonder how this little dia-mond in the rough in Reno had survived amidst the recession, but as Walker assured me, busi-ness is booming. In fact, 2009 was one of her best years in sales. It seems that once you be-come a Red Chair customer, you stay a Red Chair customer. It’s virtually impossible to leave empty-handed. Walker’s cheerful nature combined with the vibrant atmosphere and amazing products make you feel at home. Text by Kate LongPhotos by Nico Aguilera

RP Tip: You can find Red Chair online at http://redchairandestateofenvy.blogspot.com. Give the store a visit, and you won’t be disappointed.

In Reno during the late 70’s, a young Ron Rash spent his after school hours at the

Ball Sign Co. where his mother worked as a book keeper. He observed as artists diligently finished up their hand painted lettering and il-lustrations on cars and wooden or metal signs. Perhaps, he saw in their eyes a focus and pro-ductive satisfaction which he coveted. Rash was born out of a DIY-punk-rock-skateboarder culture at a time when Reno “still had a redneck mentality, and people wanted to beat up skateboarders.” His place in that community, with all of its aesthetic connections, would later prove to be an inte-gral part of his inspiration.

Yet Rash didn’t stand out as an artist dur-ing high school, which may or may not have had something to do with his art instructor. “I got D’s in art class,” Rash says, hesitating to name the teacher. “I hated still life, but that’s what he did: western landscapes. Even so, I love images of western culture. I suppose, even though he wasn’t encouraging, his work might have snuck in there somewhere.” Rash set his mind on art at 17, headed to San Diego in 1990, and then continued on an “extended vacation” to New York, Montreal, Boston, and New Jersey. His time on the east coast was marked by solo visits to mu-seums and stores.

“I had a hard time connecting with people out there,” Rash says, reflecting back with little nostalgia for those five years spent in

virtual solitude. He shrugs it off as in-consequential. Rash returned to the west coast and

settled in Oakland in 1995 where he managed an art supply store. Being in con-tact with other creative people on a daily basis helped him to grow as an artist. Not to mention, he had an entire store full of art supplies affording him license to experi-ment. Then Rash, a descendant of “rowdy Scot-tish sheep thieves,” returned home in 2003. Today at 37, he’s the father of two beautiful children -- Tucker, 9, and Emma, 6. He re-

sides once more on the exact same street, near Lakeside and McCarran, where he spent his youth. Sitting across from me at the new Bibo’s where a painting of Rash’s hangs amongst several others, he explains to me how he currently spends his time on a variety of en-deavors, including:• Volunteering as an assistant art instructor

at Jessie Beck Elementary School, where he went as a kid and where his children now attend.

• Teaching an art class for children and teenagers alike, “Drawing Cartoons,” is scheduled for Saturdays between Febru-ary 20th and March 13th at Nevada Museum of Art (NMA).

• Helping the NMA Teen Art Council develop ideas for a teen art studio that may be ready this spring.

• Helping put together local art shows with the Holland Project Gallery Committee.

• Working at Ace’s Tattoo (681 South Vir-ginia Street), which is owned by a couple of his skateboard buddies of old, Kevin Cox and Rob Roy. According to Rash, tattooing has proven to be a challenging art form over the last few months, but it is nonethe-less positive and rewarding work.

For information on viewing his artwork, you can find him on MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, and Blogspot. To register for his art class at NMA, call 755.323.3333.Text by Hunter BlackburnPhotos provided by artist

For the eighth year in a row, the Nevada Women’s Expo will be taking place at the Reno-

Sparks Convention Center at 4590 S. Virginia St. in Reno. The expo will take place over two days: Saturday, March 27 from 10am-5pm and Sunday, March 28 from 10am-4pm. Led by founder Kristy Hawke, Destinations West is producing this event, which they bill as an expo that is catered to women, encom-passing products and services for women. With exhibitors representing a wide range of stores from food and drink, gyms, beauty products, and healthcare, you’ll be sure to find something that perks your interest. But this expo is more than a shopping ex-pedition. There will be a stage with both entertainers and speakers at scheduled times. If the last few years have been any indication of what to expect this year, it will be an exciting and varied schedule. Because the organizers limit the number of exhibitors from any one field, attendees will have a wide range and variety of things to look for. The Nevada Women’s Expo is also a great place to look for career or volunteer opportuni-ties or to just network. Some companies come just to look for prospective employees. This exposition comes with the requisite free items or “schwag” as all consumers crave.

Over the last few years, free stuff has been given out from coffee to massages. Coupons and discounts will be abundant as well. Expo or-ganizers have also put together ten shopping sprees of $100 to be spent at the expo. This is part of

the door prizes giveaway, so be sure to sign up as soon as you enter. Despite the title and the tagline, Owned by Women and Produced by Women, the Nevada Women’s Expo is not just for women. While the event is geared toward women, men will find something for the women in their lives or perhaps for themselves. The products at the expo will appeal mostly to adults, but people of all ages are welcome to come as well. The price for the expo is only seven dollars, with two-dollar-off coupons around town. As if the five-dollar admission wasn’t low enough, your pass is good for the entire weekend and is also transferrable. Parking is available at the Center for $7, but there will be area parking for free if you’re willing to do a little hunting and walk a little way.Text by Dan Sullivan

A monthly event in Reno for over six years, the River-walk Merchants’ Wine Walk is an event not to be

missed. On the third Saturday of every month, the members of the Riverwalk District (along the Truckee River and neigh-boring streets) host the Wine Walk from 2-5pm. Starting at 2pm on the third Saturday of the month, you can visit any Riverwalk District merchant to get a map of all retailers participating in the Wine Walk. The wine-tasting fee is only $20 and includes samples from up to 25 participating businesses and also includes a commemora-tive glass (some decorated). After you get the wine glass and map, you then walk from place to place, sampling the many different varietals of wine they have on hand. “The wine walk consists of all types of wine from boxed to bottled and can, on cer-tain months, consist of a group of up to 1200 individuals,” said Courtney Barnett, marketing coordinator. As if drinking wine for three hours in a complimentary wine glass for only $20 wasn’t enough, gift certificates are raffled off at the end of the event. “At the end of each wine walk, the busi-nesses donate a gift certificate for $25 each,”

said Barnett. “At the end of the event, those gift certificates are raffled off to wine walkers at a host location that can change monthly.” Each month, the Wine Walk supports a local charity or non-profit organization by providing a portion of the wine walk proceeds. The re-ceiving organization changes monthly, and their hope is to

bring awareness to the organizations and help to have the community support a great cause while having a great time. In March, the receiving charity is CARE Chest of Sierra Nevada. Be sure to descend upon downtown Reno on March 20 and support the Care Chest take advantage of this monthly event by lei-surely strolling through the Riverwalk Dis-trict, sampling various wines at the participating merchants listed on your map, and maybe even doing a bit of shopping. You can learn more about the Wine Walk, the participating merchants, and the receiv-ing charity by checking out their website http://winewalkreno.com and by subscrib-ing to their newsletter.Text by Michelle MontoyaPhoto provided by organization

Dino, and Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr., known as “The Rat Pack,” were three of the most popular and successful entertainers

of the last half century. A new tribute show, aptly titled “Frank, Dean and Sammy,” is playing in the Eldora-do’s Showroom now through March 21 and the is comprised of Tony Sands, Luciano Correa, and David Hayes respectively playing their Rat Pack counterparts. Sands hails from south Philadelphia and started singing Sinatra tunes from the time he was 12 years old. In addition to singing Old Blue Eyes’ tunes in the style Frank created and perfected, Sands also developed an un-canny vocal resemblance to Sinatra’s. Sands has captivated audiences from The Tropicana In Las Vegas to the Ritz-Carlton in Philadel-phia to The Trump Castle in Atlantic City. Correa plays the lovable lush, Dean Martin. Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Correa’s Sicilian-American family of per-formers has always listened to the crooners of the era, including of course, plenty of The King of Cool’s biggest hits. Correa’s love of the music inspired him to create a Dean Martin persona that has had him performing in front of sell-out audiences from Las Vegas to Long Island. Not only does he have his vocal impression down to a musical science, but he looks amazingly like Martin as well.

Rounding out the talented trio is Hayes, who does a spot-on vocal impersonation of Sammy Davis Jr. and looks remarkably like him as well. Sammy was always the childhood hero of Hayes, who began singing Davis’ songs in his early years. After many years of practicing and performing Sammy, the day came when he actually got to meet his idol and perform for him. Hayes says that Sammy said it was “the best singing impersonation of me I’ve ever seen.” Hayes has performed around the world from supper clubs to headliner showrooms and has opened for The Temptations, The Four Tops, K.C. & The Sunshine Band, Herbie Han-cock, Tower of Power, and others. The three entertainers will take you on a 75-minute trip down memory lane with clas-sics like “My Way,” “New York, New York,” “That’s Amore,” “Everybody Loves Some-body,” “Mr. Bojangles,” “Candy Man,” and many more. So slip on your fedora and go see Frank, Dean, and Sammy because the boys are back for a limited time at the Eldo-rado.
