NOTES
UPCOMING Come back soon!
From the Editor Props to him
One of my favorite television shows of all time is The Larry Sanders Show, a blisteringly funny look at the talk show industry starring Garry Shandling that was light years ahead of its time, its documentary style influencing everything from Christopher Guest’s films to The Office. My all-time favorite episode is “The Roast,” a travesty of biblical proportions in which the title character is not so much roasted as he is annoyed—every roaster takes way too long and spends more time doing their comedy bits than skewering the man of the hour. The final death blow to the ceremony is the “surprise” appearance of Carrot Top, who takes so long that most of the audience is either gone or asleep by the time he’s finished. It’s a joke at Carrot Top’s expense, sure, but he’s so damn energetic and likable that you end up rooting for him anyway. And that’s Carrot Top in a nutshell—think what you will about him, the man wins you over once you see him perform. Everything, even the negativity that’s been thrown his way over the years, is fodder for his show at Luxor—most of it reflected in the props he invents. And as Steve Bornfeld writes in this week’s issue, Carrot Top’s props process is fascinating, both in his inspirations and where he gets his materials. Make sure to add Carrot Top to your itinerary this week, and get ready for a cavalcade of props— and some serious laughs.

Nick Swardson Stand-up comedian shoots for even more fans
If Nick Swardson wasn’t born into comedy, he came close. A stand-up prodigy, Swardson went pro before he turned 20, at a time when many thought stand-up comedy was dead. He’s been a mainstay on the circuit ever since, appearing twice yearly in Vegas, and became a frequent cast member in Adam Sandler comedies after co-writing the screenplay for 2006 comedy Grandma’s Boy. He can currently be seen as a oneeyed bandit in Sandler’s first Netflix film Ridiculous 6 and appears later this year in its follow-up, The Do Over. He spoke to Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen recently, ahead of his April 2 show at The Mirage. You just observed your 20th anniversary as a stand up. What do you consider your first gig? It was an open mic. I still have the sign-up sheet. If you went over three minutes, like “You can’t f*cking come back, man!” … I would get banned all the time from clubs. I got banned for nothing. Any time I talked back or anything they were like, “You know what? You’re banned.” Then the second I got any kind of fame, they were like “You know what? You’re back. You’re good. We forgive you.” There’s a clip in which Louie Anderson introduces you at Comedy Showcase in Aspen and the person who put it up said it was 1995, which would have made you 19. Not sure if that’s correct. No, that would have been 1997. You look like a completely different person. You’re very animated as opposed to how you’d be onstage later. That was one year after open mics, so it was almost exactly to the day of my first open mic. I had just gotten back from that HBO Comedy Festival and they called me. And Louie’s from Minnesota, so I was really excited—and he’s
24 3.27.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
become one of my best friends. But at the time, it was just a huge deal. I was totally excited, and I was so terrified of silence onstage that I just kept moving. … A lot of it was this fear of silence, and that’s one thing comedians have to get over just to be able to stand onstage and not worry. And that’s one thing I learned from Mitch Hedberg. Did you see him before the open mics or after you got started in stand-up? I saw him after I started. I just became a comedy club rat and used to hang out all the time. People were like “Mitch, this is Nick. He’s this young kid who’s coming up.” Mitch was like, “Oh, hey man,” and then Mitch and I became friends. It’s a very sad loss. He was a really good guy, but I’ll never forget that. I’ll never forget the first time I saw him and met him. It was one of those moments where it was very, very distinct. You were last in Vegas for your birthday Oct. 9. Were there any fights or vomiting? Is Vegas a safe place for your audience to see you? I love, love The Mirage shows. Oh my God. My birthday show
was epic. It was so fun. People were … I’m expecting this show to be crazier. Just so people know, my Vegas shows are kind of my greatest hits. I’ll mean, I’ll definitely have new stuff, but it’s Vegas. I’m not going to just sit
there and wing it. Nobody goes to Elton John like, “Oh, really? ‘Tiny Dancer’ again?” But I’m a huge college basketball fan, so it’s like Final Four weekend is going to be f*cking nuts. Final Four audiences are right in my wheelhouse.

$2.6 billion Amount raised in the 61 years entertainment legend and Las Vegas resident Jerry Lewis hosted the MDA Labor Day Telethon.
In 1907 Las Vegas’ first telephone was installed at Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, located at One Fremont Street. The phone number: 1.
Signs of Spring
The Palazzo has become known for the gorgeous displays in its Waterfall Atrium and Gardens, and the spring exhibit is no exception. Giant butterflies with 4 to 10 foot wingspans are suspended throughout the gardens, hovering over equally impossible iris, which rise 10 to 15 feet in the air. Each of the iris blooms are approximately five feet wide. Throughout the installation, more than 2,000 plants such as lambs ear, baby tears, hydrangeas, spider mums, orchids and ferns help complete the peaceful environment. The spring display lasts through June 5.
B Right In
The B’s are buzzing this week at Rx’s Boiler Room in The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay as owner and chef Rick Moonen hosts a cocktail competition on March 28 between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m. At the event, signed bottles of Russell’s Reserve Bourbon can be bought, Moonen’s Backyard Kentucky Burgoo sampled, and stories bandied about. Entrance is $25 (plus fee), and tickets are available through Eventbrite and at the door. But wait, what if the belly needs a bit more? Happy hour menu items will be available for purchase. Part of the proceeds from the evening help benefit the Helen David Relief Fund. What a beautiful evening. The Palazzo photo by Glenn Brogan Burgoo photo by Sabin Orr Beer Park photo by Anthony Mair
Wayne Newton’s Las Vegas home, Casa de Shenandoah houses 60 stalls, 60 pure bred Arabian horses, two barns, three arenas, eight homes and artisan lakes and wells. Late comedian and actor Redd Foxx’s former home, located at 5460 S. Eastern Ave., is considered to be one of the most haunted places in Las Vegas. Talk about a boom in Las Vegas. If you purchased a new home in 1999, by 2004 you most likely could have sold it for 75 percent more than you paid for it—that’s an average increase of $2.42 every hour during the five-year span.
Champions on the Way!
Settle in for hoops in comfort Shoot! The madness of March makes for exciting weekends. But the first days of April are great for sports fans, too. After the NCAA Division 1 teams have been narrowed to the Final Four, they’ll gather in Houston to determine the champion. In Vegas, nearly every place has some type of special for the games, and here are just a few. The Fremont Street Experience features the Hardwood Hotties show from 7-10 p.m. through April 4 (dark March 31) on the Third Street stage. Challenge your buds in the High Hoops Zone, with 20- 25and 30-foot hoops ($1 a shot) and check out the VivaVision screen, which displays special hoops-themed shows nightly. At The Mirage, The Still Crafts, Drafts and Eats features an unusual sports bar environment and a Brackets and Beer party during both the April 2 Final Four games and the April 4 championship. Doors open an hour before the game. If you are watching from The Mirage’s sportsbook, you needn’t go hungry. BLT Burger offers grab and go items, from entrées to delectable fried pickles, perfect for hauling to the book. Fans at Hooters at Palms can enjoy famous wings and a Pacifico pitcher for $25, or 26-ounce Modelo, Pacifico or Corona Light mugs for $4.50 during the games. At Paris’ Beer Park, fans can take advantage of tournament viewing parties and special packages. Crush at MGM Grand offers a special menu during the games, too, with items such as chipotle barbecue chicken wings and $19.99 pitchers. –Nina King

It’s Her Music For Tinashe, the path to becoming a pop star started with getting out of a prepackaged singing group. As a member of The Stunners from 2007 to 2011, Tinashe sang on several singles, signed a record deal and co-starred in a TV pilot, but it wasn’t until the group disbanded and Tinashe started working on solo music in her home studio that she caught the attention of critics and tastemakers. Tinashe independently released three mixtapes of alternative-leaning pop/R&B before signing with RCA and putting out her major-label debut, Aquarius, in 2014. That album launched the hits “2 On” and “All Hands on Deck,” and helped Tinashe move from indie artist to nascent pop star. After dropping another mixtape in 2015, Tinashe has been hard at work on her second studio album, Joyride, set for release later this year. Tinashe remains fiercely independent, continuing to write and record her mixtapes herself at home, co-writing the songs on her studio albums and even directing her own music videos. –Josh Bell

What We Want Beyond the Mid-Life Crisis Bonding is an important part of Menopause the Musical in the showroom at Harrah’s. In the long-running production four women comically commiserate over hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss and borderline psychotic episodes. They also frequently burst into song, delivering a string of musical parodies based on hits from the ’60s through the ’80s. Some get topically reworked, such as
28 3.27.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
chart-toppers by Aretha Franklin (“Change, Change, Change”), Sonny & Cher (“I’m No Babe, Ma”) and the Bee Gees (“Stayin’ Awake/Night Sweatin’”). Other parodies retain the source song’s title, including “Good Vibrations,” “What’s Love Got to Do With It” and “New Attitude.” –Matt Kelemen Harrah’s, 4 & 7:30 p.m. Mon., 6:30 p.m. Tues.-Sun., $44.99-$70 VIP plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782
Adam Lambert didn’t start life a star, but at a young age his talents suggested that he may have been on the path to greatness. Lambert, who was the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol, is just as comfortable with dance-pop as he is with classic rock (he fronted Queen on the band’s last several tours, as well as upcoming European dates this summer). As a solo artist, he specializes in pop songs such as “Whataya Want from Me,” but he might break out a Queen tune or two as well. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff The Foundry at SLS Las Vegas, 7:30 p.m. April 1, $35 plus tax & fee, 18+. 702.761.7000

The Story Behind the Music Big boys don’t cry—they scramble out from under hardscrabble lives to create one of the signature pop groups of the 20th century. Which leads to one of the beloved jukebox musicals of the 21st century. In Jersey Boys, we learn the compelling story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons: how they found their sound behind the distinct falsetto of their lead singer; overcame the checkered past of some members; relied on backing from a local crime boss; and rode a roller coaster of career highs, personal lows, family tragedies and internal strife en route to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Propelling it all are tunes embedded in the soundtrack of several generations: “Rag Doll,” “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Who Loves You” and “December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” among them.
Other songs from the 1950s and ’60s, such as “Earth Angel,” “Silhouettes,” “I’m in the Mood for Love” and “A Sunday Kind of Love” round out the musical’s score. –Steve Bornfeld

Smooth and Successful For the last several decades, jazz has essentially been a niche genre, long past its heyday and followed by a devoted but relatively small fan base, at least compared to rock and pop and country music. But saxophonist Kenny G has been an exception to the rule, an artist playing jazz music in an accessible, audience-friendly way that has made him one of the best-selling recording artists of all time. From the beginning of his career, Kenny G has worked to reach beyond the jazz genre: his selftitled 1982 debut album features an instrumen-
tal cover of the Eagles’ “I Can’t Tell You Why” alongside its various original compositions. Over the years, Kenny G has worked with artists such as Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Weezer and Foster the People. His most recent album, last year’s Brazilian Nights, is a tribute to Brazilian bossa nova created with the same smooth, easy approach he brings to all his music. It’s jazz for the masses, and the masses are still listening. –Josh Bell The Venetian, 8 p.m. April 1, starting at $49.95 plus tax and fee. 702.414.9000
Avocado Tacos A longtime lunch favorite for both locals and tourists, Border Grill at Mandalay Bay has one of the most interesting vegetarian tacos. The avocado tacos hold plump avocado slices coated in a mixture of red quinoa, amaranth (a good source of vitamins and protein) and black sesame seeds. The piquant flavoring from the chipotle salsa, grilled corn relish and pickled onion marry perfectly with the mellow flavor of the avocado. This preparation of the green fruit might just make you forget about guacamole.

Drumming Up Delights
Classic troupe finds modern updates suit them Perhaps you didn’t arrive in Las Vegas to get mummified (although if that’s your personal kink, remember our what-happens-here-stays-here ‘tude) but you couldn’t find a more appropriate venue for it than an Egyptian-themed resort. That would be the Luxor, home of Blue Man Group, the comically quizzical, blue-hued mimes who climax their entertainingly surreal production with a cascade of streamers so thick you nearly must de-mummify yourself. Then pluck confetti out of your hair, flick it off your clothes and peel it off your shoes. Beginning with scrolling stage signs that cajole us to shout out funny lines and play along with lighthearted gags, the Blue Man production is an exercise in sophisticated silliness that’s

part-social commentary/part silent burlesque (no, they never speak) punctuated with audience interaction. Enjoy the threesome’s signature paint percussion as florescent drumsticks send sprays of blue, red and gold flying from their drums (necessitating ponchos handed out to the front rows), plus beating out familiar melodies on rainbowcolored pipes, with puckish humor. Also expect their marshmallows-and-gumballs gag, in which they toss them into each other’s mouths, spitting them out into abstract art. Signaling their take on modern technology is a segment on iPads projected on a screen, as they try to sign onto a website but are driven insane by popup ads and a “passcode strength”
barometer. And in a routine both cautionary and comical, costumed actors transformed into animated robots blissfully text until flattened by oncoming cars—driven by texters. Other bits are visual nuggets: shoveling handfuls of Cap’n Crunch into their mouths; invading the audience to look people in the eye; sending circles of fog effects above our heads; and leading the audience in rock concert-style fist-bumping and arm-swaying. And in a centerpiece segment revolving around eating Twinkies with an audience member brought onstage, vaudevillian comedy yields major laughs. As for those streamers: Consider renting a sarcophagus. –Steve Bornfeld

It’s Getting Hot in Herre… The lights go down, the music crescendos and two guys wearing all black slide across the stage. Two more follow. The lighting is still dim, but as the surroundings get brighter, it’s a bevy of men, 10 in all, wearing identical black sleeveless hoodies. Their names are announced, and they step into the spotlight and unzip those aforementioned pieces of apparel to show off chiseled six-pack abs and astounding good looks. This is Chippendales The Show. Sit back before the show starts to watch videos of photo shoots to pick
out your favorite. Whatever you choose there’s a man for you, providing that perfect fantasy. Does yours involve construction workers? Chippendales has you (un)covered. Fluorescent orange sledgehammers and welding tools shooting off sparks never looked so sexy. Cowboys? They’ll wrap a lady up in a rope to Big & Rich’s “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).” Firefighters with hoses?

Around and Around The 5-acre Adventuredome indoor theme park brings all the excitement of roller coasters and other rollicking attractions indoors, keeping you cool while you lose your cool on some of the most wicked rides. El Loco takes adventure seekers through G drops, insane turns and twists, even barrel rolls and gravity-defying action. This crazy train flies at a top speed of 45 miles per hour over 1,300 feet of racing yellow track, snaking through other attractions at the indoor park. With a top speed of 55 miles per hour and a 45-degree drop, the Canyon Blaster is a doubleloop, double-corkscrew roller coaster that weaves its way in, out and around the perimeter of the park. Climb aboard the Inverter, where, once seated, you’ll be turned upside down and right side up, as the ride moves in a soaring 360-degree counter rotation. On Chaos, the 36-foot-tall ride spins in circles, tilting at varying angles, sending seats swooshing back and forth. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Bringing History Alive He’s Got It All Many songs in Rod Stewart’s resident show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace sound exactly like you expect—everything from “Reason to Believe” from his 1971 album Every Picture Tells a Story to “Rhythm of My Heart,” recorded 20 years later. Oddly enough, there’s not a single nod to the British-born singer’s 21st century success, the five volumes of standards he has intermittently released since 2002. Perhaps that’s best, since the Colosseum

The question of whether Raiding the Rock Vault cast constitutes a classic-rock supergroup or a high-caliber cover band becomes irrelevant once Doug Aldrich and Howard Leese lay into the power chords from The Who’s “My Generation.” Once Paul Shortino croons through “Light My Fire,” Aldrich straps on a restrung, left-handed Stratocaster in recognition of Jimi Hendrix. Then vocalist Robin McAuley launches into “Highway to Hell.” When Stephanie Calvert sings Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams,” the boys step back and add sweet harmonies. —Matt Kelemen Tropicana, 8 p.m. Wed.-Mon., $59-$99 plus tax and fee. 800.829.9034 Rod Stewart photo by Mark Seliger Raiding the Rock Vault photo by Raen Badua

So Mesmerizing
Pinning Down Great Music It’s been a good century so far for Greensky Bluegrass, who play Brooklyn Bowl on March 31. The bluegrass and jam band formed in 2000 and since has seen collaborations and performances with Phil Lesh and The String Cheese Incident (which just played the Bowl itself), plus released eight albums. Not bad for a decidedly niche group. Brooklyn Bowl—an offshoot of the highly successful Brooklyn-based music venue, bowling alley and restaurant—features bowling lanes which were specially
built to dampen the noise so that bystanders can still hear headlining performers Bunny Wailer (April 9), Floetry (April 11), M83 (April 16), The Green (April 17), Chvrches (April 21), The Front Bottoms (April 23), Foals (April 24) and The Chris Robinson Brotherhood (April 25). With great music, food and fun, it’s easy to see why Brooklyn Bowl continues to make an impression. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff The Linq Promenade, 5 p.m.-1 a.m. Sun.-Thurs. & Sat., 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Fri. 702.862.2695
Knights for the Night When Excalibur Hotel & Casino first rose in 1990, it opened as a family-friendly destination, with a signature production, Tournament of Kings. The story of King Arthur and a gathering of knights is told through chivalry, ceremony and combat, with spectators cheering on champions. Audiences get treated to a dressage performance at one point by rider Iranda Dyer and horse Nobilissimo, who perform in an act with eight dancers. Horse and rider also join the cast during the finale. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Excalibur, 6 p.m. Mon. & Fri., 6 & 8:30 p.m. Wed.-Thurs. & Sat.-Sun., $75.36 dinner and show. 702.597.7600

When is the last time you saw a strip tease to a song by Bjork? That’s just the beginning of the spirit of fun and excitement that Jennifer Romas brings to her high-energy production Sexxy (Westgate Las Vegas, 800.222.5361). From “Big Spender” to a hot little number performed on a lips-shaped couch to “Cherry Pie,” Sexxy hits on several different styles of dance from various generations. And Romas nearly steals the show with her bathtub set piece. –Ken Miller
A Spin on Theater Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère (Treasure Island, 702.894.7722) is an acrobatic buffet served up on a revolving stage in a custom theater.

Another flips, spins and twists on a vertical strip of fabric that seems to stretch into infinity. And Japanese taiko drummers pound out thunderous, infectious rhythms. –Steve Bornfeld

From 10 to one, just like in “Uhh Ahh” from their debut album Cooleyhighharmony, Boyz II Men—comprised of Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris and Shawn Stockman—countdown right before stepping into the spotlight at The Mirage.

ting serenaded by these three is no myth—they are known to have a few sexy slow jams or two. During “I’ll Make Love to You,” long-stemmed red roses are given out to lucky ladies while the rendition of “End of the Road” gets more up close and personal with in-the-audience action. The fellas take it back to their high school days in Philly, singing The Five Satins’ “In the Still of the Night”—a capella style. The Temptations’ “My Girl” and Smokey Robinson’s “The Tracks of My Tears” make the set list as Boyz II Men pay homage in a moving Motown tribute. But no Boyz II Men show is complete without the hip-hop feel-good sounds of “Motownphilly,” a track that depicts where their rise to fame all began. Philly is here to stay. –Chanelle Hayes

Turn it up at two of the wildest pool parties in the city, Rehab at Hard Rock Hotel and Wet Republic at MGM Grand. Rehab is considered the granddaddy of all daytime, with its poolside parties ushering in the trend more than a decade ago. This year, Rehab welcomes back the bikini invitational and DJs including Pauly D and Loczi. Wet Republic once again ups the ante when it comes to hosting some of the best DJs in the business. The elaborate stage that houses the DJ booth and giant LED screen welcomes such names as Steve Aoki, Tiësto, Nervo, Martin
Garrix, Krewella, Afrojack and more throughout the season. For some laid-back pool party fun try out Flamingo’s GO Pool. The 21-and-over tropical retreat with lagoons and waterfall offers pool games, go-go dancers, contests and daily drink specials. Along the same vibe and poolside offerings is The Voo Ultra pool, Rio’s adults-only dayclub. Special here are the awesomely priced daybed and cabana rentals, along with DJs spinning top 40s and some tasty food selections. Visit Liquid pool lounge at Aria to enjoy upscale partying in the venue’s two VIP pools, sunbathe on top of one of three dozen daybeds or eat at Liquid’s restaurant, which still puts partiers in the middle of the action. –Kiko Miyasato

There’s a very cool trend developing on the Las Vegas Strip: More and more restaurants are choosing to not only focus more on the vegetarian side of the menu, they’re sourcing some of their produce from local growers. Harvest by Roy Ellamar is a perfect example of this trend, an establishment where the “farm to table” concept thrives. And what an amazing establishment! Ellamar, who helmed Sensi in the same space at Bellagio, has transformed the location into an eye-popping combination of décor and lighting, including wood floors and a see-through kitchen so you can see all your food prepared. Ellamar, who might surprise you by stopping by your table to say hello, believes in supporting Nevada farmers and ranchers, getting some of his meats and vegetables from areas throughout Nevada, including Boulder City, Pahrump and Caliente. The cocktails alone give you an idea of the kind of special experience you’re about to have— Ellamar specializes in bottled cocktails, meaning he pre-bottles them and ages them slightly before serving. It’s a lot of fun to know that every Manhattan, Negroni and Martini you enjoy here is yours to pour and savor as you

like throughout the meal. Ellamar’s devotion to local growers is also reflected in his farmer’s market cocktails, including Beets by Roy using beet juice and mezcal. You may be tempted to go straight for Ellamar’s incredible ranch or ocean options, but do yourself a favor and check out some of the vegetarian social plates first. Charred Brussels sprouts, using maple syrup and bourbon soy, might be among the best versions of this leafy green you’ve ever tasted. Roasted beets, made with spiced yogurt and pickled Asian pear, and cauliflower, grilled with persimmon and anchovy bread crumbs, are not far behind. The farro porridge, with wild mushrooms, a slow-cooked farm egg and black truffle, is so decadent and tasty, you might reconsider that whole meat thing. For meat lovers, fear not: There’s really something for everyone here, from a ridiculously flavor-packed fisherman’s stew (fish and shellfish in a tomato broth), slow-roasted porchetta (pork cooked with rosemary, parsley and garlic) and duck confit buns, decadent with foie gras and red onion jam on a brioche bun. Two other Ellamar touches are not to be missed: The snack

wagon and the sweet wagon, both covered with a multitude of culinary delights. The snack wagon’s spicy steak tartare is an indulgent, meaty treat that will have you begging for seconds, and the eggplant caviar, while reminiscent of baba ganoush, stands out on its own.
Sweet wagon highlights include the almond pear tart, vanilla crème brûlée, chocolate-covered popcorn and chocolate mousse. The phrase “buy local” gets thrown around a lot these days, but one visit to Harvest and you’ll find yourself saying it to your friends and family.

General manager creates welcoming environment If you ask Gianni Toffanello if he’d rather work in any other industry than hospitality you’d be met with a resounding “No!” “Where I was born—northeast Italy, Ravenna—is a famous resort town,” explained Toffanello, general manager for Wolfgang Puck’s Cut at The Palazzo. “So I grew up around hospitality, embedded in the industry from a young age.” From Ravenna moving forward, Toffanello’s résumé is impressive. He’s worked in Michelin-starred restaurants and for celebrity chefs in Hawaii, Chicago and New York. In 2005, he moved to Las Vegas. “I knew this was the city to be in,” he said. “It was booming.” By 2008, Toffanello helped open Cut, and the upscale steakhouse has given him the

ultimate satisfaction, he said. “Wolfgang and the directors are trusting me to be the point of contact for our customers,” he said. “I believe, we all believe here, in what we’re doing, all the elements that come together for our guests.” Toffanello certainly maintains the restaurant’s reputation, while at the same time making sure his staff maintains a level of happiness. “I’m direct, diplomatic. A little bit of a control freak,” he said, laughing. “But I’m fair. And, at the end of the day you have to have fun and enjoy being here, and our guests can feel that, feel our joy.” Toffanello added, “I’ve been welcoming guests into my home since day one. There’s no other way to do it—that’s hospitality.” –Kiko Miyasato
It’s not just sumptuous steaks being served—at the intimate bar, guests can order delicious, handcrafted specialty cocktails that complete the Cut experience. The Tiffany Twisted (named after The Eagles’ song “Hotel California”), a combination of Aperol, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, lemon bitters and Philippe Gonet Rose Brut champagne, is a very European cocktail. “The perfect aperitif,” Toffanello said. Many of the restaurant’s bitters and fresh juices, are done in-house, said Toffanello—the ingredients come directly from Cut’s kitchen. –KM

Let’s start with what we can’t start with: the Fifty Shades of Grey multipurpose, movie-watching companion device—practical, but with a hint of kink.

The Linq Promenade celebrates two years as a Stripside pedestrian destination By Matt Kelemen
Brooklyn Bowl
Sprinkles
When the two-year anniversary of the High Roller’s March 31, 2014, public opening arrives, the 550-foot tall main attraction at The Linq Promenade will have made nearly 26,000 360-degree rotations. It never stops, much like the evolution of the people-watching strip within The Strip. Returning visitors and locals keep coming back to sample the huge beer selection at Yardhouse, seasonal cupcake flavors at Sprinkles, and Flour and Barley’s brick-oven pizza slices, but new tenants are on the way. By this summer a visit to The Linq Promenade may involve NYC-style ribs at Virgil’s Real Barbecue or on-the-go serving of Britain’s favorite comfort food via The Linq Promenade photo by Christopher DeVargas Brookyln Bowl photo by Erik Kabik/Retna/erikkabik.com Sprinkles photo by Jacob/Robyn Andrzejczak
O’Sheas
Gordon Ramsay’s Fish & Chips, followed by artisanal gelato by Amorino for dessert. What will be familiar to returnees among the newer elements will be the atmosphere established from Day One. The Linq Promenade runs like an inlet between The Linq Hotel and Casino and The Flamingo, providing a casual pedestrian harbor a few degrees less frenetic than the bustle of the Strip. Although the first paying customer would not ride the High Roller before the end of March 2014, patrons had been exploring The Linq since the giant wheel was first illuminated on Feb. 28 of that year. Boutiques such as Ruby Blue, and hip-hop star Nas’ 12A.M. Run shoe store
were already capturing the imagination of the public. The Brooklyn Bowl was key to building excitement, with a March 14-15 official opening weekend of sold-out concerts featuring The Roots, joined by Elvis Costello on the second night. The state-of-the-art venue was expected to be a game-changer on the musical landscape, due in part to the reputation of the Blue Ribbon fried chicken on the dining menu. The strength of the shows proved predictions right as the Bowl threw strike after strike, from the A-list jam bands making it their Vegas home to Jane’s Addiction performing its ground-breaking Nothing’s Shocking album for three concerts that May to Jack White’s sold-out solo show in January of last year. Recent gigs by Matisyahu, Ace Frehley and Beck assured the music will play on at The Linq. Of course, music can be heard just about any night from the sidewalk troubadours that perform in the open air nightly, or from inside the Tilted Kilt, where singer Cali Tucker is often featured. Live music is also regularly heard in O’Sheas, the casino-pub legacy to the original space that made way for The Linq and was once a frequent gig for Imagine Dragons. O’Sheas was also the launchpad for St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans on the Promenade, which is transformed thematically for major holidays. The Linq went zombie for Halloween, became Winter Parq in December, and proudly boasts one of the most enviable options for witnessing July 4 and New Years’ fireworks—the High Roller cabins timed to be at the top during the explosive climaxes. The Linq is also one of the best places to be during sports tournaments, with more than 250 screens and more beer choices than time to sample them. The Yard House alone boasts some 160 drafts, while recently opened AmeriCAN Beer & Cocktails has nearly 70 canned beers on its menu and a “Bring Your Own Grub” policy that welcomes indulging in Ramsay’s fried cod or gourmet foot-longs from The Haute Doggery on the premises. But being out on the promenade may bring surprises, such as a “Linq Love” offering of a free High Roller ride or the discovery of Vegas artist Kat Tatz’ freshly painted mural “Vegas Wonderland.” For a day of exploration, The Linq Promenade is the place to be.

What’s funny about a comedian writing an autobiography (aside from the obvious) is what’s unearthed during his or her research. Brad Garrett’s (MGM Grand, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster) book When the Balls Drop is one of his myriad projects. Among other anecdotes, Garrett recalls being asked to perform an impression of Jimmie “J.J.” Walker

nightlife ....................................... The following list of Sin City watering holes is as on top of the scene as possible. But use your clubbing common sense when going out—it’s Vegas. Kim Kardashian could be throwing a birthday bash or Katy Perry shooting a music video, and that means the cover charge is going to jump up considerably or the party could be private. It’s always best to call ahead and see what’s happening.

Strip Scribbles With his finger on the pulse of Las Vegas, Robin Leach is the go-to source for everything celebrity and entertainment related. For all the latest happenings and full stories, visit his blog at LasVegasSun.com.
Who-What-Where Award-winning rapper and actor Bow Wow, otherwise known as Shad Moss, celebrated his 29th birthday with a performance at Foxtail Nightclub in SLS Las Vegas.
Paul Nassif, star of E!’s Botched, stopped by the hit show Absinthe at Caesars Palace. Patrick Dempsey was spotted at Jenna and Michael Morton’s downtown hot spot,
La Comida. Former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis had breakfast at Cabo Wabo Cantina. Redfoo and The Party Rock Crew dined at Lavo in The Palazzo.
Fator celebrates seven years It began as a seventh-anniversary celebration and wound up as a 12-year party. Entertainer and ventriloquist Terry Fator received official word during his seventh anniversary as a Mirage headliner that his contract has been extended through 2021, making it a 12-year run. Mirage President Trevor Scherrer made the official announcement at a preshow party. During the show, Terry introduced his newest character doll to delighted fans, the suave and debonair Latin ladykiller Fernando V Francisco. Said Terry: “He’s a lover of beautiful women and beautiful songs, but mostly beautiful women. ... If Julio Iglesias and the Most Interesting Man in the World conceived a love child, it would be the one and only Fernando V. Francisco.”

Holly Madison’s follow-up to her bestselling book Down the Rabbit Hole will be titled The Vegas Diaries. It’s the story of Holly’s adventures since moving from the Playboy Mansion to our city, which means her romance with Electric Daisy Carnival kingpin Pasquale Rotella, their marriage and the arrival of two babies (the second is due in August). The book’s release date is May 17. Magician Criss Angel will shut down his show Believe at the Luxor on April 17. Then after a threeweek installation at the Luxor theater, he will open Mindfreak Live! in preview performances May 11. Criss will officially celebrate the new show’s star-studded premiere June 23. The new, immersive spectacle is based on the successful touring version. Pop rebel Billy Idol has been a spikyhaired sensation for nearly 40 years and is still going strong ripping off his T-shirts to bare his hard body. The fans are still lapping it up and ripping off their shirts in tandem. The singer’s new run of shows at House of Blues in Mandalay Bay began March 16, and ticket sales are so solid that he’s added dates in August, September and October.
