Las Vegas' charismatic former mayor Oscar Goodman announced Wednesday he's planning to open a steakhouse at the Plaza Hotel downtown.

The new restaurant will be in the dome of the Plaza overlooking Fremont Street. The eatery is set to open this fall. It will be a fine dining experience open nightly with a brunch on Sundays. 

The inside of the new restaurant will feature photographs and memorabilia from his 12 years in office plus pictures of memorable moments in the city's history. Next to the new steakhouse will be an Italian restaurant; both restaurants will be connected  to a new bar and lounge that will feature -- what else -- martinis the former mayor's favorite drink. 

The new venture will be called Oscar's. 

The Plaza Hotel has undergone a massive transformation it is set to reopen next month.

Hash House A Go Go, a restaurant popular for its oversized portions and unique presentations, will open a fourth Las Vegas location at the Plaza Hotel and Casino by Sept. 1.

Construction on the new Hash House A Go Go location began yesterday. Since late last year, the Plaza has undertaken an extensive renovation project, including brand new guestrooms and suites, an entirely remodeled casino floor and lobby, and all new restaurants and entertainment options. 

“We are excited to welcome Hash House A Go Go to the Plaza,” said Tony Santo, president and CEO of Play LV which operates the Plaza Hotel and Casino. “As part of our renovation effort, we will offer our guests brand new dining experiences, and we are proud that Hash House A Go Go, a local favorite, will be offering their innovative spin on dining at the Plaza.”
