Top Chinese on Wake Up with the Wagners

ELV note: In honor of the Chinese New Year, which begins January 23rd, Kim Wagner and our eager beaver young assistant thought an overview of our top Chinese spots off the Strip was appropriate. ELV — his locks flowing and his Cantonese butchered — also thought you’d get a kick out of his traditional, Mandarin formal garb…thoughtfully provided to him by Karrie and Kevin Wu of Ping Pang Pong. As usual, you’ll have to scroll through the video to the 36:49 mark to watch and here the scratchy, hacking and hoarse voice for which we have been most recently known.

If you’ve never been on the Strip on New Year’s Eve, you’re missing one of the great events in America. Of course ELV, having no interest in mingling directly with the hoi polloi, does not practice what he preaches, preferring instead his preferred perch provided by the good folks at Serendipity 3 — where a bird’s eye view of things was achieved without actually experiencing any physical contact with the unwashed masses.

After the big countdown, and an even bigger meal at Old Homestead, we repaired to Restaurant Guy Savoy for some hearty shots of sugary Chartreuse, and then to the yearly after-party at Circo, where we focused on women’s cleavage for the rest of the evening (tasty snap #9).

Just thought you’d like to know.

Happy New Year!
