The swankiest spot on the dial, Madly Cocktail is lounge deluxe. Hosted by the velvet-voiced Kat Griffin, Madly Cocktail is a mix of music that's shaken... not stirred. Like a party you never want to leave, it features the vocal stylings of Sinatra, Frank and Nancy, Dino, Keely Smith, Louis Prima, Tony Bennett and other greats who made Vegas a martini soaked oasis - before it became an amusement park. Madly Cocktail turns back the clock to the time when the ladies of song were great dames and the men were as smooth as gin. From instrumental kitsch to the purr of kittens named Eartha, Madly Cocktail is your rendez-vous for music the way they used to play it…cool, hip and with a twist. FRIDAYS, 7-9 P.M.
KAT GRIFFIN
Growing up in icy, wet New England had an upside for Kat Griffin -- morning radio personality Jess Cain on WHDH in Boston. While praying for the sweet sound of her town's name (Stoughton) on the snow day school cancellation report, you could hear the stylings of Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Tom Jones and other vocal greats filling the breakfast kitchen. Then came the unfortunate era of disco, a move to California, a love for public radio, a penchant for great parties and Madly Cocktail. Whew!

What becomes a hostess most?

Turn Ons: Exotica, pop/jazz vocals, Irwin Chusid compilations, anything with a bossa nova beat, a Bombay martini - shaken and poured into a frozen glass with two olives, pits in, mmm....steak!, "Always Ask A Man" by Arlene Dahl (deliciously dated!), The Dresden Room, Luck Bar, Laemmle Theatres, The Lido, Monte Carlo, old Vegas casinos, guests who never leave before 4 a.m.

Turn Offs: Yanni, Styx, Poco and (lord help us) Journey, any other martini - extra dry, vegetable-based protein formed and shaped like meat, anything Dr. Laura, any club charging a cover, new Vegas casinos, guests who leave before 10 p.m.
