The Good Life!


Bryan's Pick of the Month: Four Aces on Boulder Highway offers surprises in a truly unique atmosphere...

By Bryan Gereaux


Through individual inquiries and explorations, my friends and I take great pride in discovering new places to have a great time, that we can later share and be admired for knowing how to live the good life. Especially if the unique atmosphere also happens to be uniquely economical. You know, more holler for your dollar!
I’ve been around the block a time or two, and it’s been some time since I’ve been sincerely excited about a new place. They had the right idea when they boldly painted across the face of the buildings, "Come In and Be Surprised." It should have been the name of the place because I did and I was, but this being Las Vegas and all things considered, the sign above reads the legend "The Four Aces."
Surprised is an understatement considering I found myself saying WOW... Aloud... Repeatedly!
Behold a premier NASCAR Bar. A "Race Place" with all the trimmings. Just when you think you may recover from the shock of your initial impression, you notice owners Ingrid and Mike’s pride and joy. An incredible 1/100th scale architectural replica of the Daytona International Speedway. The attention to detail is absolutely maddening.
The walls are covered with an assortment of racing memorabilia and just about every other sport in the civilized world.
The multiple satellite dishes continuously feed the eight screens with a wide variety of sports action which also features Speed Vision, four channels of petal to the metal excitement.
The Monday Night Football party (which I am now a regular) is evolving into a local cult event partly, due to the reduced brew prices and promotional giveaways too numerous to list. All right, but just a couple. How would you like to win a trip for two to the Pro Bowl in Honolulu in February? There’s a trip for two to Germany to be had, and every week they’re giving away several pairs of tickets to various races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and... wait! I said just a couple.
Get out the throat spray, cause Wednesday and Thursday is karaoke night. Don’t be shy, it’s a lot of fun. Friday through Sunday showcases the talent of Ron Livingston. There’s no cover charge.
Better renew your membership to the health club, because the food is to die for. I kid you not! Chef Bill French has put together a bill of fare to delight the senses and your wallet too!

Four Aces is the perfect place for a friendly game of pool.

I’ve been saving the best for last. It’s October, and you know what that means… Oktoberfest! If you haven’t been to Munich at this time of the year, here’s your chance to experience the next best thing. They’ll be countless variations of schnitzels, dumplings, brats and brau’s. My personal favorite is Ingrid’s Beef Rouladen. I just cannot stop thinking about it.
So come, bring your family (kids are welcome) and your friends. You’ll be proud to be there... to share the good life. LVN
