Publicist Michael Caprio

What do Olivia Newton-John, Chippendales and Jon Secada all have in common?

Michael Caprio.

The acclaimed publicist has been representing entertainment's elite for more than 20 years. A native New Yorker, Caprio began his career working with some of the biggest productions on Broadway, including The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and Miss Saigon. Caprio sat down with "Las Vegas Magazine," right before he departed for a tour with Newton-John, to talk about his Las Vegas favorites.

Chippendales The Show: Working with the cast and crew is a true joy! Watching the women in the audience enjoy themselves, whether they are there for a girls night, bachelorette, birthday or divorce party is so much fun to witness.

Nove Italiano: Simply the best food, wine, service and view in Las Vegas! Everything about this place is pure class. The shrimp Francaise and Nove spaghetti are incredible!

Barneys New York: As someone who loves "acquisition therapy," Barneys brings the best of fashion and style to Las Vegas ... and there's so much to choose from.

Lake Mead: After a busy week, I look forward to the weekend with friends boating on Lake Mead. A short drive from the Strip and you are in another world with so much wildlife and amazing rock landscapes!

The Spa at Red Rock Resort: They have the best spa treatments and therapists, and you don't have to deal with the hustle and bustle and crowds of some of the other Strip property spas. It's like your own private heaven — the hot stone massage there is worth a million bucks!

Mystère: Though I love most of the other Cirque shows, I think Mystère is still my favorite. Maybe it's because it was the first show I saw in Vegas during my first visit about 10 years ago.

Mon Ami Gabi: The flavor of the steak au poivre and the tasty frites are equally matched with some of the best people-watching on the Strip. I love enjoying a great meal while watching the fountains across the Strip at Bellagio.
