Join the Rat Pack just for the evening and surround yourself with the ambiance of Vegas\u2019 glory days. Oscar\u2019s promises Beef, Booze, and Broads and fully delivers on each of these promises. The true highlight of the restaurant, however, is the Oscar Dinner Series<\/a> \u2013 a quarterly dinner series with the founder, Oscar B. Goodman.\n\nThrough its Oscar Dinner Series, guests can enjoy a gourmet three-course meal while Goodman shares his experiences and Vegas\u2019 interesting history. Although each dinner focuses on a certain subject, Goodman talks about whatever comes into his head \u2013 no script, notes, or filter. You\u2019re sure to have an entirely unique experience when you attend an Oscar Dinner. So, head over to Oscar\u2019s for dinner and relive Vegas\u2019 glory days from a living legend himself.\n

The Man Behind It All<\/h2>\nBefore opening Oscar\u2019s, Goodman had a colorful career as an actor, spokesman, mob attorney, and three-term mayor of Las Vegas. His criminal defense past, however, played a significant influence in the creation of the Oscar Dinner Series. As a mob attorney, Goodman represented high-profile mob clients, including Meyer Lansky, Frank \u201cLefty\u201d Rosenthal, and Anthony \u201cTony the Ant\u201d Spilotro. Many of his stories at Oscar Dinners come from his encounters with these notorious mobsters.\n\nJust as colorful and charismatic as his personality, Goodman\u2019s stories are definitely the highlight of each Oscar Dinner. Having worked with some of the most infamous criminals in Vegas, Goodman creates a whole new dining experience with his stories. During the Oscar Dinner Series, guests will truly feel like they\u2019ve been transported back to the old Vegas, circa the 1970s.\n

Mobsters and Steaks<\/h2>\nThe inspiration for the Oscar Dinner Series comes from Jonathan Jossel, CEO of PlayLV, wanting to share Goodman\u2019s eclectic background to the public. \u201cWe just thought this would be a great way to tell his stories, which are always entertaining,\u201d Jossel said. With his colorful past, Goodman offers an interesting look into Vegas\u2019 history and how far it\u2019s come.\n\nThe Oscar Dinner Series almost always sells out and attracts a variety of unique individuals. These usually include politicians, lawyers, FBI agents, IRS agents, business owners, and some of Vegas\u2019 most eccentric characters. With the wide popularity of these events, Goodman and Jossel have no plan to stop the Oscar Dinner Series anytime soon.\n

Reserve Your Seat Today<\/h2>\nThe next dinner is on June 15th<\/sup>\u00a0at 6:30 pm, at Oscar\u2019s Steakhouse at the Plaza Hotel & Casino. At the upcoming dinner, Goodman will speak about \u201cLying Cops & Dirty Prosecutors\u201d.\n\nFor the dinner menu, guests can start with a Caesar salad or Oscar\u2019s Chopped Salad. Entr\u00e9e selections include a veal chop with sweet onions; halibut with saffron cream and rainbow chard; a signature New York Strip with fingerling potatoes and baby vegetables; or roasted chicken with artichokes and natural jus. Desserts include chocolate marquee or triple layer mousse.\n\nIf you\u2019re interested in attending, RSVP and pre-payment of $150 are required.
