Former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman was known to swill gin and take showgirls everywhere while he was in office. Now, the booze and girls are back as he opens his namesake steakhouse Dec. 15.
Sin City's colorful ex-mayor says Oscar's steakhouse at the Plaza Hotel and Casino will have the tagline "Beef, Booze and Broads" and will feature good-looking hostesses hired to chat with diners about sports, wine and politics.
They will be experts on Las Vegas, he says, and will eat and drink with guests.
Goodman left office earlier this year as term limits ended his run as the self-proclaimed "happiest mayor of the greatest city in the world" after 12 years. His wife, Carolyn Goodman, was elected in June to succeed him.
