As the pro football season slows down and the Winter Olympics peaking everyone’s interest, one might think that this is “slow season” in Las Vegas, but that is certainly not the case downtown on Fremont Street. Over the last few weeks, we hear it has been lively as ever with all kinds of star power and energy.
What better place to celebrate any occasion, especially love, than Circa Las Vegas? It's hard to think of any, and neither can WWE star Sydney Zmrzel, better known as Maxxine Dupri. She was in for dinner at Barry’s Downtown Prime with her husband, Anthony Luke, and friends for a late celebration of their wedding a month prior.
Riding on the high of the evening, they were taken on a tour of the kitchen and were spotted taking photos with none other than Chef Barry. Fans also went crazy as they noticed newly engaged Power Slapper Ellie Dempster and her fiancé

Gian Carlo Salvatore was eating at the restaurant at the same time. Maxxine and Ellie even got a photo together and talked all things Power Slap and WWE.

It is also worth noting that in the last few weeks, seven-time Mr. Olympia Flex Lewis and his wife, Ali, were seen having dinner at Barry’s with famous reality stars from the hit Discovery Channel show Diesel Brothers. Seen posing on the red carpet with their wives were Keaton “The Muscle” Hoskins and David “Diesel Dave” Kiley.
Serial Entrepreneur Brad Lea and his wife were also seen dining with the group and adding to the already attractive photo.
Can you even imagine what guys with muscles like to order for dinner at Barry’s?

With Spring Training and baseball season right around the corner, there really is no better place to fuel up than at Barry’s. A great group of athletes were seen dining, including former University of Tennessee player Blake Burke, who went off in the MLB draft in 2024 in the first round to the Milwaukee Brewers, along with Andrew Fischer, who went off as the 20th overall pick in the 2025 MLB draft to the Brewers as well.

This duo was seen eating with their old coach, Tony Vitello, who is now the manager for the San Francisco Giants. They were also there with University of Tennessee star quarterback Joey Aguilar alongside 2025 MLB 4th round draft pick for the Cleveland Guardians Luke Hill, and Chase Wilk, who is a prospect for the upcoming 2026 MLB draft and University of Minnesota BIG TEN signee. What a great way to celebrate during UFC weekend.
After dinner, most of the guys were seen taking photos with Circa CEO/Owner Derek Stevens. Talking baseball is one of Derek's favorite things to talk about, especially with athletes who are currently playing.

With love being in the air this time of year, and so many things on the horizon for the rest of the year, it is always great to see who you can run into at dinner or just sitting at the bar for a nightcap. Circa Las Vegas remains the best spot on Fremont to do this; we might have to try it ourselves just to see what famous person might walk by next.
