Whether you’re a movie buff, a history nut or just a fan of the classics, you’ll feel like a kid in a candy store at The Auto Collections at The LINQ. Since 2000, The Auto Collections has been the nation’s largest classic car showroom, buying and trading more than 200 fully restored classic cars on display— and every car has a story. With an ever-rotating inventory, you never know what you’ll discover at The Auto Collections. No matter how many times you visit, there’s always a reason to come back. Ownership of past and present cars runs the gamut from heads of state and world leaders to stars of music, movies and stage—from a 1939 Chrysler Royal Sedan that belonged to talk show legend Johnny Carson to a 1962 Lincoln Continental Town Limousine used by President John F. Kennedy. And it’s not just the collection itself; the attention to detail on every car is remarkable. From color and paint to bells and whistles, every car is impeccably presented and maintained. Whether you spend an hour or several hours here, The Auto Collections is a truly rewarding experience for your eyes and imagination.
What do Olivia Newton-John, Britney Spears, Jenny McCarthy and Grumpy Cat all have in common? They’ve all taken a trip on the High Roller, the world’s tallest observation wheel towering 550 feet above the Las Vegas Strip. A relative newcomer, the High Roller is already one of the “must-visit” spots in town. The 28 massive, state-of-the-art pods offer everything from eight screens featuring videos, music and trivia to fully stocked bars in select pods as part of “Happy Half Hour.” Each holds up to 40 people, so group excursions are heavily encouraged. For an “only-in-Vegas” experience, you can even get married here! The High Roller offers a great social experience, but don’t miss out on the amazing views. As the pods slowly rotate during the 30-minute trip, you’ll get ever-escalating vistas of the Strip and Las Vegas Valley. As you hit that perfect angle, have your camera at the ready—this is why selfies were invented.
Las Vegas is referred to as the Entertainment Capital of the World, but spend a few hours at the Eiffel Tower Experience at Paris Las Vegas and you’ll feel like you’re in the Romance Capital of the World. The hotel itself already perfectly re-creates the cobblestone streets, shopping districts and art of its namesake, but the Eiffel Tower Experience is the icing on a very decadent French pastry. This half-scale replica of Paris’ iconic structure takes you up 460 feet in the air for incredible views of the Las Vegas Strip and beyond from the observation deck. Whether the two of you are gazing at tourists on the ground below or any variety of Strip sights, you’ll feel like you’re the only couple on Earth. It’s the perfect ambience for any date night. Fall in love all over again.

NOTES
UPCOMING Come back soon!
From the Editor A very fortunate son
Growing up in the ’70s, my parents didn’t have what you would call a “balanced” record collection. Their tastes tended toward the softer side of the decade—lots of Carpenters, John Denver and Debbie Boone. But there was one album they owned that I found myself playing over and over: Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival. From the first guitar chord of the title song, I was absolutely hooked. Even at a young age, I knew this was rock ’n’ roll at its best—not just great hooks and lyrics, but a singer/songwriter who performed with hearton-his-sleeve conviction. It was my introduction to John Fogerty, and I’ve been a fan ever since. I tore through his entire discography, discovering that the genius of Green River was only a small fraction of his output in 1969. In the span of a calendar year, Fogerty and CCR released not only that album but also Willy and the Poor Boys and Cosmo’s Factory, giving us generationspanning songs like “Fortunate Son,” “Down on the Corner” and “Who’ll Stop the Rain.” Perhaps only The Beatles had this kind of consistent quality and output over such a short time span. To call Fogerty a legend for this period alone is an understatement, and his talent continues to resonate with a whole new generation, thanks to the Coen Brothers’ decision to use a few CCR tracks in their 1998 cult hit The Big Lebowski. Fogerty provided much to the soundtrack of my life. I know I’ll be front and center when he performs at The Venetian in Peace, Love and Creedence. Hope you will be, too.

Guy Fieri
Celebrity chef is always on the move Guy Fieri’s love of Las Vegas started when he attended UNLV as an undergrad, and grew even stronger when he opened Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar at The Linq Hotel last year in April. Fieri worked his way to the top of the Food Network chain by winning the second season of The Next Food Network Star and, since 2006, has been the face of the channel, hosting shows such as Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy’s Grocery Games and Guy’s Big Bite. He spoke to Las Vegas Magazine about his real personality, how he names his dishes and the inside scoop on one of his most famous sauces. What does it mean to you to have a successful restaurant in Las Vegas? It was in 1986 when I was going to UNLV. I drove down Las Vegas Boulevard for the first time ever in my life and I looked at this amazing city. I drove all the way down the Strip. I drove all the way down to downtown. I said, “Someday, I’m going to have a restaurant here.” So I came back and there are all these restaurants on the Strip. It was something I really wanted to do. I had a chance to do my restaurant on the Strip. That’s a big deal.
So I have to ask, how did you manage to come up with the name “donkey sauce”? When I was younger, I was working on a Carnival Cruise in the kitchen. I explained to one of the other chefs that you have to put the sauce on the burgers. He has this really thick accent and asks, “Why?” “You have to put the sauce on the burger or you’re a jackass.” And he goes, “Jackass? What’s a jackass?” “It’s a donkey.” “Oh, so it’s donkey sauce.” That’s really how it happened. I’ve never told that story. No one has ever asked.
How much of your personality on television is the real you? I am this way all the time. You’re seeing 100 percent me. I like people. I like giving back. I try to be sincere.
How is your restaurant El Burro Borracho going in Laughlin? It’s doing really well. Do you know what that name means?
How do you come up with the names for your dishes? It has to be crazy. It really is. It’s a challenge. OK, here’s how we do it ... I lost my sister (Morgan) five years ago to cancer, so we have her name on the menu. I put Morgans in all the different spots. It’s just my little thing, these little games. My mom’s on the menu. My dad’s on the menu. I try to have everyone important to me on the menu.
24 1.10.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
Yeah, the drunk donkey. That name came about a lot like the donkey sauce. Caesars Entertainment asked me to do a restaurant in Laughlin. They say, “What do you want to name it?” I said, “How about El Burro Borracho.” “What does it mean?” “The drunk donkey.” They looked at me for a minute and said they loved it. (A second El Burro Borracho is scheduled to open at the Rio in Las Vegas early this year).

4,000,0000 Approximate number of shrimp cocktails served at Golden Gate Casino since 1959. The dish, now synonymous with the hotel, cost just 99 cents until 2008.
Lovers of White Castle, rejoice! The first West Coast outpost of the East Coast favorite opened in January 2015 at the Best Western Plus Casino Royale on the Strip.
Elevating Your Stay
Las Vegas just got infused with more luxury options for visitors— Aria Resort & Casino recently unveiled the Aria Tower Suites, a collection of more than 200 hundred suites and elevated personal service from check in until check out. Once a Tower Suite is booked, a personal concierge will be able to assist you before even coming into town. Other amenities for Tower Suite guests include a private check-in lounge, complimentary limo transportation, turn-down service, priority taxi line, signature horticulture design in the suites and bellmen waiting curbside when guests arrive from the airport. For reservations, call 877.359.5150.
The Art of the Room
Not only has Carbone at Aria become one of the Strip’s premier Italian dining hot spots, it’s also a great place to appreciate art. Interior designer Ken Fulk curates the restaurant’s wide-ranging modern art styles by artists such as Julian Schnabel (pictured), Sol LeWitt and Ben Schonzeit. Highlights include Still Life with Flowers and Antiquities, an oil and linen painting by Robert De Niro Sr. (yes, Robert De Niro’s father!) in the restaurant’s foyer, and Between the Torus and the Sphere (I, III, V), etchings by Richard Serra, in the colonnade.
Not to brag to the rest of the world, but in addition to fielding a record eight Miss Universe winners, the U.S. has also placed the most runners-up, including 2014 Miss Nevada USA Nía Sanchez. Las Vegas rockers The Killers named their second album, Sam’s Town, after a Las Vegas hotel and their fourth album, Battle Born, after the phrase that appears on the Nevada state flag. Las Vegas legends Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher met on a cruise ship 10 years before their 1967 Las Vegas debut.
Twisted Treats Hungry? Order a dish with a very creative bent
Las Vegas’ own Guy Fieri loves to have fun with food—just check out his Bacon MacN-Cheese Burger served at his namesake restaurant at The Linq Hotel—burger, crispy applewood bacon, a hearty scoop of six-cheese mac ’n’ cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, more cheese and donkey sauce, all on a garlic-brioche bun. And, it’s not only Fieri who’s getting creative. All around town, restaurants are putting unique twists on familiar recipes. Step up your culinary tastes and try the Foie Gras Brûleé from Sage at Aria. The classic French dish goes dessert-like by adding huckleberry compote and toasted cocoa nib to the duck liver that’s been given the consistency of the famous dessert, crème brûlée. Sticking with foie gras, Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at SLS Las Vegas serves the delicacy in perhaps the most unique way ever, Foie Gras Cotton Candy. It looks just like the childhood treat, but tastes like duck liver goodness. Most everyone has either eaten lobster or seen how lobster is served. But, have you ever seen or eaten a Lobsicle? At Lobster ME at Miracle Mile Shops patrons can order a lobster tail on a stick, grilled or batter fried. For you vegetarians out there, forget the veggie patties. At Shake Shack at New York-New York the classic veggie burger goes sinfully delicious with the ’Shroom Burger—fried Portobello mushroom filled with muenster and cheddar cheeses and topped with ShakeSauce, lettuce and tomato. –Kiko Miyasato

Killer Comedy How harmless, how affable, how—dare we say it?—sweet he looks. Then his mouth opens and words come out— words about handicapped people, abortion, slavery, the impoverished, the death penalty and 9/11. Here’s the kicker: The words are funny, even while the subject matter would suggest otherwise. Such is the frequently incendiary stand-up style of Daniel Tosh, the hot-button, controversy-courting comic and star of Comedy Central’s Tosh.0. Critical consensus on Tosh is pretty consistent, describing his act as “contentious,” “deliberately offensive” and “envelopepushing” and his material as “black comedy.” Tosh’s confrontational comedy has a bracing effect that is cathartic. Yes, you’ll laugh, but you’ll also feel like walls are being torn down, one of the noblest aims of the stand-up craft.

Deep Impact The Marianas Trench is the deepest point in the Earth’s oceans, plunging nearly seven miles below the surface at its greatest depth. The Canadian band Marianas Trench, by contrast, might not typically be described as deep, although that certainly isn’t a bad thing. The quartet has been releasing bright, fun pop-rock music since the early ’00s. On its last few albums, the band has explored more intricate themes, with lead singer and songwriter Josh Ramsay composing song suites that work as concept albums while also remaining concise and radio-friendly. The band’s most recent album, 2015’s Astoria, was inspired by action-adventure movies of the 1980s, including The Goonies. Single “One Love” has become the band’s biggest hit outside its native Canada, landing in the top 40 on Billboard’s Adult Pop Songs chart in the U.S. Like fellow Canadian Carly Rae Jepsen, the members of Marianas Trench are poised to bring their upbeat, exuberant pop songs to the world. –Josh Bell

She’s Back and Better Than Ever Elegantly, Celine Dion strides toward the audience in a sun-bright, floor-length gown before a full orchestra at Caesars Palace. After she delivers a rousing “I Surrender,” rapturous fans roar, on their feet, some not to take their seats again for nearly two hours. Vintage Dion footage flows across video screens and years peel away as she performs “Where Does My Heart Beat Now,” followed by “Because You Loved Me,” “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” and “The Power of Love ,” the circumstances of her personal life infusing them with pathos. Alone on a stool, as she delicately interprets “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” film of her family enjoying private time unspools behind her. Beyond moments of emotional resonance, Dion treats us to a flat-out good time. Duets with holographic Sinatra and Elvis. Prince’s “Kiss” and “Purple Rain.” With an impeccable rendition of “My Heart Will Go On” and an ach-
ingly gorgeous “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” the soft-spoken, golden-voiced chanteuse brings her return to the stage to a touching climax. –Steve Bornfeld

You Can’t Go Wrong With Burgers and Fries When it comes to symbols of New York City, Shake Shack might someday be up there with Times Square. The popular roadside burger stand-style eatery made its West Coast debut at the New York–New York in late 2014, bringing a selection of Big Apple favorites like the perfectly grilled natural Angus burgers, flat-top dogs and exclusive craft beers. You might want to stick to basics with the ShackBurger, or load up on hearty fixings with the SmokeShack bacon cheeseburger. Even vegetarians can get in on the fun with the
‘Shroom Burger, a portobello mushroom cap “patty” and melted Muenster cheese. Wash it all down with Brooklyn Brewery’s ShackMeister Ale, or a glass of house wine by Frog’s Leap. For dessert, this Shake Shack location features exclusive sweets, like the All Shook Up concrete: vanilla frozen custard, chocolate toffee bits and a slice of banana peanut butter cheesecake. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff New York–New York, 11 a.m.-midnight Sun.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Fri.Sat. 725.222.6730
Drifting Mistress Brian Malarkey’s Herringbone at Aria, the new ocean-to-table concept restaurant, offers a selection of specialty cocktails and tableside cocktail service, a chance for diners to create their own cocktails by mixing and matching different spirits with fresh juices.

Transcending Boundaries
Pulitzer-winning play arrives at Smith Center Love, friendship and understanding without religious or racial confines is the message of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Driving Miss Daisy, which is being brought to The Smith Center by Broadway in the Hood. Founder Torrey Russell’s organization brings theater into impoverished Las Vegas areas by introducing people to the arts, casting performers from homeless shelters along with professional actors. In an interview with Las Vegas Magazine, Russell said Driving Miss Daisy brings to light a simple message: that we are all human beings. The lead character is Daisy Werthan, a widowed, 72-year-old Jewish woman living in mid-century Atlanta. Her son feels she is too old to drive and he hires Hoke Colburn, an African
32 1.10.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
American man who also distrusts people and becomes Daisy’s chauffeur. Joan Mullaney, an adjunct college professor in Las Vegas who portrays Daisy, explains her character: “Daisy is a pistol. She softens a little more during the middle of the 25-year span of her friendship with Hoke. She was a fifth-grade teacher and when she discovers he can’t read, she teaches him. It’s a love story, good chemistry happens between people or it doesn’t,” added Mullaney, who says the play definitely shows how much we are alike, regardless of differences. What begins as a troubled and hostile pairing soon blossoms into a profound, life-altering friendship that manages to transcend all societal boundaries. –Penny Levin

Back Like He Never Left Westgate Las Vegas’ efforts to bring Elvis Presley back into the building where he became a Vegas icon have yielded no small harvest. The historic aspect of Graceland Presents Elvis: The Exhibition is a sprawling journey through Presley’s history. Cars, clothes, rare documents, records and short films convey Presley’s life from his first breaths through final performances at the Westgate property’s second incarnation, the Las Vegas Hilton. The high school years of the future King are well represented before the hallway leads to the Sun Studios era
and Presley’s legendary first recordings. By the time guests reach the exhibition’s display of five Sun singles, they’re completely immersed in all things Elvis. An Elvis film room contains posters, movie outfits and a screening area for trailers with back seats from a ’57 Chevy. The journey ends in a darkened screening room in which a 14-minute film depicts performance highlights. There’s still so much insight to offer into the life of the legendary performer who left the building for the last time in December 1976. Little did he know he’d have one more Vegas comeback. –Matt Kelemen

An unassuming enclave, the Wildlife Habitat almost begs you to ask, “Am I there yet?” If not for the colorful denizens hanging around, the habitat would have seemed like just a beautiful gateway to the pool. More than 300 birds reside on the 15-acre habitat, with paths meandering throughout. A hooded merganser, a small ducklike bird with a white crest, floats by suspiciously. A swan dives into the water for an early dinner. The sacred ibis, regarded as such for eating cropdevastating locusts in ancient Egypt, wins the unofficial award for longest bill, while the Chilean flamingos look a bit ruffled, perhaps secretly wishing for warmer climes. In 2012, two pelicans brought in from a wildlife rescue settled in among the other Habitat’s creatures. And in the water, a school of giant koi congregate underneath the footbridge. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Flamingo, 8 a.m.-dusk, free. 702.733.3111

Staying True to Its Roots Las Vegas is a city of continual transformation and improvement. But the heart of it all remains old Vegas—the one that the Rat Pack used to famously gallivant through. It still exists—you just have to know where to look. One of these oases is downtown at The D in Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse. As an Italian steakhouse, plenty of pastas are offered alongside a myriad of meats. Steaks are aged for a minimum of 30 days, resulting in more tender cuts. The filet mignon is a classic cut but if you want
to impress your friends—and onlookers elsewhere in the dining room—order the charred Andiamo tomahawk instead. This gargantuan 32-ounce beast is reminiscent of a meal from The Flintstones, so order on an empty stomach. On the pasta front, house-made pappardelle arrives in a rich, complex veal ragu fitting the definition of rib-sticking meal. For a lighter option, agnolotti are tender bundles of ground pork and beef in tomato basil sauce. Either provides a worthy foil to a charred steak. –Jim Begley

Javier’s at Aria takes the neighborhood taquería and blends Pastel tres leches it with a fine-dining experience, combining classic dishes with unique interpretations of Mexican cuisine. The result is an experience that’s both familiar and new. The lengthy menu is broken down into categories for easier reading—appetizers, house specials, from the grill, of the sea and so on. At any Mexican restaurant, it’s always a wise decision to start the table off with a batch of queso fundido. Javier’s puts a different spin on their version. Using a flour or corn tortilla dip into an ooeyFilete costeño gooey bowl of melted Monterey Jack cheese, the classic queso ingredient. But then enjoy an added mix of sautéed onions and pasilla chiles, all topped with ground chorizo and chipotle chile sauce—a slight heat with new tastes, a perfect precursor to the main meal. The main meal requires the task of making decisions when confronted with a bevy of options that all sound delicious. We suggest the chile negro, a Javier’s favorite (and rightly so). Tender, fall-off-the-bone Angus short ribs are braised in a chile negro sauce—a Aria mixture of tomatil11:30 a.m.los and dried black midnight daily. chilies.

Don’t let the plain name fool you—this dessert is frozen heaven in an edible bowl. Served in a buñelo basket—fried dough with a heavy sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar—the hearty scoop of vanilla ice cream is rolled in corn flakes and coated with nuts and honey. A
slice of the traditional pastel tres leches is another sweet option, and Javier’s version is spot on, with moist cake layers that use the required three types of milk baked in; a lightly sweetened frosting is coated with almond slivers, completed with a drizzle of cajeta, a milk caramel sauce. Javier’s upholds tradition while impressively executing modern culinary touches—it’s a satisfying, fine-dining Mexican meal, sure to leave its mark.

Michelle Bautista
Restaurant manager making all the right moves Before there was American Idol, X Factor and America’s Got Talent, there was Star Search. Remember the popular 1980’s TV talent competition? Well, Michelle Bautista, restaurant manager for Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace, does. In fact, she was a contestant on the show in 1988! Her and her brother were a dance team called So Hot, and they nearly made it to the semi-finals. “I always thought I’d have a career in dance,” Bautista said. And for a while she did; she also taught dance in her hometown of L.A. But, in 1996, Bautista moved to Las Vegas and got her first job in food and beverage. “I fell in love with it, and have been working in the industry ever since,” she said.
44 1.10.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
Bautista worked her way up at various venues—she’s been everything from a coat check girl, hostess and cashier to a food server and bartender. “Then I decided my bartending days were done, and I got hired at Caesars Palace, to help manage Bacchanal Buffet,” she said. After a year she moved over to the Pub. “I love it,” she said. “My job is to take care of our guests, but also to motivate my staff and inspire them.” Bautista also loves the fact that she works for Ramsay, having met him many times. “He’s an amazing chef. He’s just one of those wholehearted people,” she said. And, she says, he’s also known to pop in and out of the restaurant frequently. Now that’s definitely so hot! –Kiko Miyasato
Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill offers an array of spirits and beers for those looking to take advantage of the pub side of the venue—there are more than two dozen beers on tap. The bartenders, Bautista says, also excel at mixology, and have put together a tasty selection of specialty cocktails. A favorite is the Mule’s Hind Leg. “The bartenders named it,” Bautista said. “It’s called that because, I like to say, its gives you a kick in the *ss!” The crisp, refreshing and, yes, strong cocktail mixes together vodka, fresh-squeezed lime, ginger beer and juniper berry mix (berries muddled and made into a mix by the bar staff). –KM

Retail Wonderful
Open-air market offers wide range of options It was once considered one of the most valuable underused pieces of land on the Strip, but the puzzle of how to best use the parcel at the southeast corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard in front of Bally’s has come together in the form of the Grand Bazaar Shops. The shopping destination was initially inspired by world-class shopping destinations such as Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar or London’s Portobello Road and developed to suit Vegas’ anythinggoes sensibilities. Dozens of vendors inhabit stalls and small shops laid out in several rows, with a wide-open promenade dominating the layout and adjoined by islands and covered alleys that offer everything from wearable art, design-your-own jewelry, custom screen-printed

T-shirts and hair extensions to couture for dogs and hot sauce for their humans. The anchor store is Swarovski, where shoppers can browse an array of crystal offerings including a beautiful blue Gibson Les Paul guitar, its top encrusted with the company’s cut-glass stones. Customers are invited to Swarovski’s walk-up window to “haggle” for the guitar—or offer $9,000 to streamline the process—as well as other products. A bedazzled Martin acoustic guitar, crystal skulls, Beats by Dre headphones, compact mirrors and Swarovski dice can all be bargained for. The Swarovski Crystal Starburst on top of the shop cannot be haggled over, however. During the day the 14-foot sphere, created by Las
Vegas’ legendary Young Electric Sign Company, sparkles with color that changes as it’s viewed from different perspectives. At 9 p.m. and midnight, the starburst becomes the central attraction of a light-and-sound show as the bazaar rooftops become illuminated and world-beat music fills the public spaces. Nine hundred and eleven “rays” tipped with crystal spheres extend from the two-ton starburst’s center, with LED sources creating more than 1,800 points of light. It shimmers and changes hue as it both indicates the approach of the Grand Bazaar Shops’ closing and the level of Swarovski’s technical expertise. It’s a dazzling event. –Matt Kelemen Bally’s, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.736.4988

On the heels of his new autobiography, John Fogerty brings the next chapter of his life to the Strip
Amid explosions and flying bodies, it was a moment for a generation—the classic rock generation—to cherish. Flash back to 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard, when Bruce Willis’ John McClane turns up “Fortunate Son” on the car radio, waking up his young passenger who, annoyed, asks what it is. “It’s Creedence—Creedence Clearwater Revival,” McClane says to the upstart, who makes a snotty retort—causing McClane to turn it up full blast. Later, after blowing away the baddies, it plays over the closing credits—a hero’s theme. “Wow! Really?” says Creedence legend John Fogerty, who never saw the film. “That’s something. The executives, producers, they don’t tell me these things.” We’re happy to clue in the singer/ songwriter/guitar great, who’s about to pull off something even more unlikely than gracing an action flick— the blues-and-bayou-based rocker is landing in flashy, sassy Las Vegas for an extended run at The Venetian. Odd musical hookup? “The time is right for this,” Fogerty says. “I enjoy the vibe, the uniqueness. It reminds you of all the great entertainers of days gone by, starting with Sinatra. That’s quite a challenge to live up to. It’s just a really cool thing to do.” Titled Peace, Love and Creedence, the Vegas show expands on Fogerty’s 1969 tour launched in 2014, which celebrated the year Creedence released the albums Bayou Country, Green River and Willy and the Poor Boys. “That tour was the first time we had a bit of production, with video and commentary and stories happening,” says Fogerty, who’ll insert other Creedence tunes, plus solo hits “The Old Man Down the Road” and “Centerfield,” among others. “That sort of format is what we’ve retained. Rather than just playing a song—which is always fine—but adding more depth to the experience without hitting people over the head
with too much smoke and mirrors is kind of cool.” Putting Fogerty back on the national radar is his memoir, Fortunate Son. Journeying through the entirety of his eventful life, the book is particularly notable for his candor regarding his acrimonious breakup with the rest of Creedence—Stu Cook, Doug Clifford, and brother Tom Fogerty (who died 25 years ago)— and his nightmarish battles with Fantasy Records. Failing to consult an attorney, the band inked a grossly unfair contract that gave Fantasy complete ownership of Creedence compositions—with zero royalties. Decades of bad blood followed— compounded by angry lawsuits and professional jealousies to the point that, 21 years after their 1972 disbanding, the band members refused to perform together at Creedence’s 1993 induction at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “The worst thing that ever happened to my band was The Beatles, because the guys in my band thought they could be The Beatles,” Fogerty writes in Fortunate Son about them wanting to assume more songwriting responsibilities, believing Fogerty exercised excessive creative control. “These guys had no clue about what was necessary—a vision.” Even though Fogerty wanted his recollections on record in his book, the poison, he says, has dissipated. At least on his end. “In writing the book, I realized there’s a lot of stuff I’ve gone through but I’m pretty proud of how I responded to the challenges,” says Fogerty, who practically coos with serenity when talking about life with his second wife, Julie, and their family. “I wasn’t going to let it change my values. I stayed true to myself. That gives me peace of mind.” Through it all, at least musically and creatively, Fogerty has always lived free. And that will die very, very hard.

Styx’s James Young reflects on decades of staying power Styx recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of its Equinox album, with the next milestone coming up in 2017 when the band’s breakthrough long play The Grand Illusion completes its fourth decade of existence.

Retreat to paradise when you check into one of Hard Rock Hotel’s specialty suites, the Nirvana Suite In the HRH All-Suite Tower at Hard Rock Hotel, there’s a special place where great happiness and tranquility opens its double doors to you. Nearly 3,000 square feet of total bliss mixes beautifully with luxury in the Nirvana suite, located on the penthouse floor. Here, the Moroccan motif flows throughout the space, influencing an aesthetic that is both peaceful and opulent. On opposite ends of the suite is each master bedroom and bath, connected by a spacious and well-appointed great room with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the neon city, and Hard Rock Hotel’s massive pool complex. The centerpiece of the suite lies outdoors—a plunge pool, where guests can indulge in a complete state of repose. While the Nirvana Suite is often reserved for high-rolling casino guests, a special request to the VIP department might score you the chance to indulge, starting around $5,000 a night.
The great room features the latest in technological gadgetry including multiple flat screen TVs and sound system, and a generously sized, fully equipped wet bar that can seat multiple guests. The great room also looks out onto the furnished terrace where the heated and color-changing plunge pool is the perfect place to watch the incredibly colored Las Vegas sunset give way to the desert night sky filled with stars.

Back to Basics
Although he got his start as a stand-up comedian, Martin Lawrence (Hard Rock Hotel, 888.929.7849) found his greatest fame as an actor, and in recent years, much to the disappointment of his stand-up fans, he hasn’t spent as much time onstage as he has in front of the camera. So his new Doin’ Time tour is the first chance fans have had to see Lawrence live since 2011, and with big film projects like
the third Bad Boys movie on the horizon for the star, it may also be the last chance for a while. After stints on Star Search and Def Comedy Jam and supporting movie and TV roles, Lawrence became a huge star thanks to his Fox sitcom Martin in the 1990s, and the two Bad Boys action movies he co-starred in (alongside Will Smith) for director Michael Bay in 1995 and 2003. His stand-up concert films You

For people who’ve only watched Lawrence on TV or in movies, this is their chance to see him completely unfiltered, doing what he’s done best since those early days: making people laugh. –Josh Bell

Not only is he planning to buy a Las Vegas home, but he also wants to open a Gordon Ramsay cooking academy here. Ramsay told the Caesars social media blog that he wants to celebrate his 50th birthday at Caesars Palace when the hotel itself celebrates its 50th anniversary next year.

Ramsay says his British fish and chips shop will finally open at The Linq Promenade in 2016 and hopes that his Bread Street Kitchen, which he has opened in London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai, will find a Las Vegas home, too. Ramsay keeps tabs on items sold in his restaurants: 160,000 servings of fish and chips at his Pub & Grill in Caesars Palace and 1.5 million burgers in three years at Gordon Ramsay BurGR. Ramsay’s third Las Vegas restaurant, Gordon Ramsay Steak, is at Paris Las Vegas.
