The lobster thermidor and crepes looked so delicious, my mouth was watering. The pot roast looked good,the carrots were really fresh. It’s cute the way it was served in the Pyrex baking dish. You are so lucky!
I don't even like Vegas but love the content! Been binging your entire catalogue. Appreciate the volume of the menu you display, and your critiques and descriptions are top notch.
The price is definitely on the higher end, but I was really impressed with the flavors this time around. I'm glad that you enjoyed the videos! Thanks for watching!
Yes! My friend's parents had it also! I had to get the full on shot of it for the video! I really felt like you got a sense of how the Voltaggios grew up as kids. This was a great restaurant. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin and Sis! Thanks for letting us know it’s a limited time restaurant! I need to bump this place to top of Vegas Bucket List…hope they secure a more permanent location after! That’s my Mom’s Corningware design…Blue Cornflower…lol! Have to go for Spaghetti-Os!I know you would order the lobster…😊thank you for sharing the awesomeness!!! July is the crazy sweltering heat in Vegas, right?
Yes, this is a very cool concept. I do hope they find a permanent spot, but otherwise I'm glad I got to try it. And yes, July gets very hot. Thanks for watching!
Shin, this food all looks amazing! I still make those classic dishes, the traditional way. Except for the pot roast. I add a splash of red wine to my pot roasts these days! I absolutely love the little touches Voltaggio included - like the blue cornflower corning ware casserole containing the pot roast! My mom had one of those, and I used it a lot in the 1970s when I was a kid. Thank you for bringing us along! You made my day! Peace, Friend.
Yet another excellent video, Shin. When you showed the close up of the menu, my first thought was I Hope you order the chicken pot pie croquettes and I'm glad you did. A very unique spin on a classic retro dish. Love watching your videos.
Those croquettes were so good! But I'd personally ask to take the gold off and charge me less lol. But we really enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching!
I hope this won’t become a trend where celebrity chefs do a residency restaurant that closes after a brief period. For those of us that don’t live in Vegas, that’s kind of a bummer.
It was a very different restaurant. I felt like I got to know the kinds of kids the Voltaggios were. Really enjoyed making this video. Thanks for watching Jerome!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Omg with the traffic on LV Blvd for F1, I'm so glad this is at Mandalay. Right off I-15 from Russel and I'm in. I'm honestly dreading driving to anything middle of the strip right now. But the show must go on. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I have no clue why it's only a year. Maybe the sudden retirement of the head chef of Aureole forced MGM to find someone to fill the kitchen while they figure out what's next? Or they're doing a test run with the Voltaggios to see if they're going to make some kind of partnership? I have no idea. But I had a great meal, and I hope to return for 1 more before they close up. Thanks for watching!
Two people can eat it for sure but you'll probably want an appetizer as well. I would personally crush it on my own but I'm also a big boy. Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed this one! To be 100% honest, I probably wouldn't order the pot roast again. It was very good, but not so much better than a standard roast to pay that price to try it. But if money is not a factor, I'd reorder everything I tried for this video. I liked it all. Thanks for watching Robert!
It was very good. I'm not sure why actually. Maybe MGM is testing a run with the Voltaggios before they sign on something bigger? Thanks for watching Claire!
@Vegas with Shin We got the Pepperoni Rolls- delicious 😊 Chicken Pot Pie - croquettes bursting with flavor...yum Shells & cheese...yummy & Deviled Eggs...caviar was a nice hidden surprise...yum
I do the exact same thing. And I tell myself the exact same thing as I think about how much time it would take me to go get a hot and spicy McChicken lmao. Thanks for watching!
I unfortunately never had a chance to eat at Aureole, though knowing it was one of the Michelin starred restaurants in Vegas, I wish I took on RUclips sooner so I got my butt out of the house to try it. But I did have a really great dinner at Retro so I'm glad I didn't miss this train. Thanks for watching Joe!
Ok anyone out there, who has the dish that contains the pot roast! Raise your hand!🙋♂️ Wow definitely lives up to its name!😂 As for the lobster theramador…no smile from Shin (shocking) but got an “Oh hell!) 😂 Even the Debbie Deb’s freestyle song, “Lookout Weekend” 🤩
I'm honestly not sure. They signed a year residency at the old Aureole location with the Mandalay Bay. Maybe they'll revisit the contract after a year? I hope they stick around. I don't want this to be the only time I eat that lobster thermidor. Thanks for watching!
I'm a little cynical ... one year because it's gimmicky (in my opinion) and interest may wane in a year. West coast exposure for them with limited risk ... As usual, great video!
My personal take is that when Mandalay got new management and chef Palmer decided to call it quits at the Aureole, they didn't have new plans for a full restaurant they wanted to commit to so they're reusing the space until something comes along that's more definitive. But who knows. It could be them testing a potential partnership between the Voltaggios and MGM also? Even if they ditch the retro theme, I hope that these menu items find a permanent home in Vegas somewhere. I liked everything I ate. Thanks for watching Deb!
They kept all the old Aureole tables, chairs, and kitchen. The investment was mostly staff and 70s/80s stuff for decor I think? Then maybe afterwards they build a brand new restaurant here. But I'm not a business guy. I just eat here lol. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Looks nice. Seems a bit high but it's a gimmick. I can make most items at home for a fraction. The pot roast especially is so cheap to make I never order it out.
As @krunchy71 mentions, this particular pot roast was made of wagyu so not cheap to make at home, but as I kind of mentioned in the video, of all the elevated dishes I tasted this night, the wagyu just wasn't that much better than a standard roast to warrant trying it at this price. But if you got the money, it's good! Thanks for watching Paul!
Restaurant residency.. what a cool concept. I would like to see some of these celebrity chefs actually come out and cook… and not just be a rebadged apple bee's with Gordon Ramsey's name on it.
Thanks so much for not shoveling oversized food bites into your mouth with parts of it dangling. And not talking with your mouth full and your cheeks looking like a chipmunk. My pet peeve with most of these food blogger reports.
You're welcome! Glad you're enjoying the style of videos I'm producing. It's funny as I've gotten plenty of comments on how big my bites are so it's nice to hear the opposite as well. Thanks for watching!
Yeah agreed, that's kind of why I say in the video that I couldn't make an actual distinction between it and other pot roasts I've had. It was really flavorful for sure and tasty, but I think they could have achieved a similar outcome with a less expensive cut of beef. Thank you for watching!
Shin is the new Mr. Las Vegas! 🤗🤗🤗
Just one of many restaurant vloggers in Vegas lmao! Thank you Truth!
Love hearing a little Debbie Deb and Eddie Grant from my high school days in the background! They have the REAL retro music goin' on!
Yeah, they really embraced the retro style. It was a nice 1 year residency while it lasted. I hear they're gone now. Thanks for watching!
The lobster thermidor and crepes looked so delicious, my mouth was watering. The pot roast looked good,the carrots were really fresh. It’s cute the way it was served in the Pyrex baking dish. You are so lucky!
I've never had anything like that lobster thermidor before. I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you D!
Love that they served the pot roast in retro corning ware casserole dishes!!! That's awesome!!
Yesss! I thought the same thing! Thanks for watching!
Nice place, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching panjo!
Only been to Vegas once but I watch specifically because of your positive energy and passion for reviewing your local food! Thank you and keep it up!
Appreciate that very much! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel!
Love your reviews on point!😀
Thank you very much!
I don't even like Vegas but love the content! Been binging your entire catalogue. Appreciate the volume of the menu you display, and your critiques and descriptions are top notch.
I appreciate that! Don't have to be a fan of Vegas to be a fan of food! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for showcasing this place 11:21
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching Austin!
😮 WOW...a little steep for me, but the expression you made after each dish review was priceless 👍...😘🤗💕
The price is definitely on the higher end, but I was really impressed with the flavors this time around. I'm glad that you enjoyed the videos! Thanks for watching!
Ohmygosh Shin! Now I NEED to go to Retro for that Lobster Thermidor! 😋 Love your taste in food. Great review.
It was very good! Thanks for watching Catherine!
I’m soooo glad you chose the lobster thermidor. I was looking for places that served it. Can’t wait to try this place.
Yes! It was really good! I hope you enjoy your visit! Thanks for watching!
Only in Vegas can you have comfort food prepared in that way. I love it!! You make a lot of us very happy with your efforts.
Truly a wonderul place for a foodie. I love Las Vegas! And I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching!
Your expressions, esp your reactions re the lobster, are incredible. Makes me want to try this place today!! Thank you again!!
Really enjoyed this one! Had a very nice meal. Thanks for watching GL!
Greetings, my friend, Shinsan, peace, love, and acceptance for all, at all times, great video. Southern White Dove.
Peace and love to you as well friend! Thank you very much!
Love how they served the pot roast in a Corning ware dish. My mother had a complete set.
Yes! My friend's parents had it also! I had to get the full on shot of it for the video! I really felt like you got a sense of how the Voltaggios grew up as kids. This was a great restaurant. Thanks for watching!
Definitely a place I never would have thought to try. Thanks for reviewing as always!! 💙
We really enjoyed this one. If you're able, I'd say it's worth the visit! Thanks for watching Mercedes!
Omg totally need to go 😍 food looked amazing and i love the chefs!!!
One of my favorite meal experiences of the year so far for sure! I hope you make it out there and enjoy! Thanks for watching Tiffie!

this is a great review the food looked terrific ,thank you very much
Thanks Frank! My sister and I really enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin thank you
Can't wait to try this! Excellent video.
I really think you're going to enjoy it and I hope you do! Thanks for watching!

Peace, Friend.
Place looks great I love the retro feel but I think I would like the the oos and the meatballs the best and the dessert just looked wonderful ❤️
Yes I agree! The Voltaggios did fantastic work here! And so much nostalgia! Thanks for watching!
Yet another excellent video, Shin. When you showed the close up of the menu, my first thought was I Hope you order the chicken pot pie croquettes and I'm glad you did. A very unique spin on a classic retro dish. Love watching your videos.

Yeah, I understand what they're going for to try and drive folks over but I am also not a fan of pop up restaurants. Thanks for watching!
SHIN YOU MADE ME GO GET MY PLATE OUT IT LOOKS SO DELICIOUS 😋. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK 👍🏼😁
This was a really good one! Thanks Tracey!
Thank you for the review! I was wondering what was going to be on the menu!
Very cool menu. I love how they really elevated so many classic dishes. Thanks for watching!
Thank you ❤
Thank you for watching!
I love the face when you take a bite and you like it. 😂
This was a good one. I enjoyed everything! Thanks for watching Jase!
different. happy you enjoyed the dishes you ordered. presentation is different too. post roast in an old corningware baking dish...flea market find.
It was a very different restaurant. I felt like I got to know the kinds of kids the Voltaggios were. Really enjoyed making this video. Thanks for watching Jerome!
you rock shin!!!!!!
Thank you very much!
Very impressive! Great review too! Should be in Cosmo
Glad you enjoyed the video! Omg with the traffic on LV Blvd for F1, I'm so glad this is at Mandalay. Right off I-15 from Russel and I'm in. I'm honestly dreading driving to anything middle of the strip right now. But the show must go on. Thanks for watching!
Oh dear, what did they do to the wine tower?!? It looks like a Carvana for bikes!
Lmaooo! I'm dead! The old wine tower was really impressive. But I'm more a nerd than a wino so I like the new look! Thanks for watching!
Your smile while you eat👍👍👍👍 so question, do you know why they only have a one year resendcy?
Thank you! I have no clue why it's only a year. Maybe the sudden retirement of the head chef of Aureole forced MGM to find someone to fill the kitchen while they figure out what's next? Or they're doing a test run with the Voltaggios to see if they're going to make some kind of partnership? I have no idea. But I had a great meal, and I hope to return for 1 more before they close up. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin Thanks Shin..I appreciate your thoughts..I guess me and the hubby will go try this out..thanks as always...Cheers
Awesome vibes 😎
Great vibes!
Is the lobster thermidor portion enough for 2 people to split or just 1 person? Certainly looks good..! 👍🏼👍🏼
Two people can eat it for sure but you'll probably want an appetizer as well. I would personally crush it on my own but I'm also a big boy. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin thanks for replying! I want to give it a try when I’m in Vegas this coming December.
Definitely a girls night out location!
What about the boys?? Thanks for watching!
Expensive for food that's easy to cook at home and looks like it was. 😮
Quite an expensive meal for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin They certainly caught the retro look 👍+1.
Damn man ! I need to get my azzz there !
We really enjoyed this one. Anyone that is able, I'd highly recommend checking it out! Thanks for watching!
That all looked good. I have to say if you are paying those prices, the food should be great and it seems they nailed it.
I really enjoyed this one! To be 100% honest, I probably wouldn't order the pot roast again. It was very good, but not so much better than a standard roast to pay that price to try it. But if money is not a factor, I'd reorder everything I tried for this video. I liked it all. Thanks for watching Robert!
@@VegaswithShin The lobster would be my choice.
wow great food why only one year
It was very good. I'm not sure why actually. Maybe MGM is testing a run with the Voltaggios before they sign on something bigger? Thanks for watching Claire!
I was just there yesterday😊
Yes! What did you order? What did you think?
@Vegas with Shin We got the Pepperoni Rolls- delicious 😊
Chicken Pot Pie - croquettes bursting with flavor...yum
Shells & cheese...yummy &
Deviled Eggs...caviar was a nice hidden surprise...yum
I've got to stop watching these videos late at night.
I do the exact same thing. And I tell myself the exact same thing as I think about how much time it would take me to go get a hot and spicy McChicken lmao. Thanks for watching!
Retro sounds like a fun place, but I am sad to see that Aureole is gone
I unfortunately never had a chance to eat at Aureole, though knowing it was one of the Michelin starred restaurants in Vegas, I wish I took on RUclips sooner so I got my butt out of the house to try it. But I did have a really great dinner at Retro so I'm glad I didn't miss this train. Thanks for watching Joe!
Yqw, Shin...my pleasure 😊
😀😀😀
You lucky guy.
Truly blessed. This meal was fantastic. Thanks mafatone!
Ok anyone out there, who has the dish that contains the pot roast! Raise your hand!🙋♂️ Wow definitely lives up to its name!😂
As for the lobster theramador…no smile from Shin (shocking) but got an “Oh hell!) 😂
Even the Debbie Deb’s freestyle song, “Lookout Weekend” 🤩
I really enjoyed this one. That lobster was so incredibly flavorful, it was crazy. Thanks for watching Paul!
Why is it there for only one year?
I'm honestly not sure. They signed a year residency at the old Aureole location with the Mandalay Bay. Maybe they'll revisit the contract after a year? I hope they stick around. I don't want this to be the only time I eat that lobster thermidor. Thanks for watching!

Even if they ditch the retro theme, I hope that these menu items find a permanent home in Vegas somewhere. I liked everything I ate. Thanks for watching Deb!
It all looks fabulous. But why would they make such an investment to only keep the place for one year?

@@VegaswithShin I like following your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Looks nice. Seems a bit high but it's a gimmick. I can make most items at home for a fraction. The pot roast especially is so cheap to make I never order it out.
The pot roast is Wagyu. Its not that cheap to make at home.

Restaurant residency.. what a cool concept. I would like to see some of these celebrity chefs actually come out and cook… and not just be a rebadged apple bee's with Gordon Ramsey's name on it.
That would be incredible Todd! That would be insane to have a Voltaggio brother make my Voltaggi-Os. Maybe one day. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for not shoveling oversized food bites into your mouth with parts of it dangling. And not talking with your mouth full and your cheeks looking like a chipmunk. My pet peeve with most of these food blogger reports.
You're welcome! Glad you're enjoying the style of videos I'm producing. It's funny as I've gotten plenty of comments on how big my bites are so it's nice to hear the opposite as well. Thanks for watching!
Why would a chef make a pot roast (cooked long and slow) out of Wagyu beef?
Yeah agreed, that's kind of why I say in the video that I couldn't make an actual distinction between it and other pot roasts I've had. It was really flavorful for sure and tasty, but I think they could have achieved a similar outcome with a less expensive cut of beef. Thank you for watching!
He is seriously greedy, but it works well for him.
Lmao. What? Seriously greedy? I swear you trolls are hilarious 😂
