NOTES
UPCOMING Come back soon!
From the Editor A time of change
As famous as The Killers have become internationally, they have never forgotten their Las Vegas roots. When working for sister publication Las Vegas Weekly in 2010, I covered a Harry Reid fundraiser at Aria, and three members of the group made a surprise appearance on behalf of the then-Senate majority leader, even singing “Home Means Nevada” at Reid’s request. I wasn’t a huge Killers fan, but I became one at that moment. The supergroup is back in town this week to help usher in a watershed moment in the city’s history: The opening of the T-Mobile Arena, a venue that offers not just the promise of music’s biggest acts, but also the possibility of Nevada’s first major league sports franchise. I personally can’t imagine a better act to commemorate such an occasion, and the addition of Wayne Newton, Mr. Las Vegas himself, only sweetens the deal. But as exciting as the T-Mobile Arena is, it isn’t the only new offering in town this week. Another supergroup, Human Nature, returns to The Venetian in a completely retooled show called Jukebox. If you were never able to see them in their previous Motown-focused show, do yourself a favor and get tickets now. This is one show I can say with confidence has something for absolutely everyone. Whether you’re a newcomer or a returning visitor, Las Vegas always offers something new. This week, that’s a considerable understatement.

Sean E. Cooper
‘Fantasy’ comedian finds perfect fit Sean E. Cooper has been keeping the ladies of Fantasy company for 14 years. But, he’s more than company; he’s supertalented and an integral part of the adults-only topless show at Luxor. Cooper, a longtime comedian and celebrity impressionist, holds his own in the show, bringing in the comic relief when audience members need a moment to cool off from all the hotness strutting about. Cooper’s sidesplitting time onstage is memorable, and that’s saying a lot when you’re talking about being entertained by more than a dozen half-naked ladies! He recently sat down with Las Vegas Magazine’s Kiko Miyasato to talk about his role in the all-female revue. Fantasy recently celebrated 16 years on the Strip. In a city built on topless female revues, why do you think Fantasy has outlasted so many others? We offer a twist. We offer talented ladies and dancers and give different scenes and comedy, like old-Vegas style. Your act in the show—do you have a favorite bit? Yes. Ad-libbing; because I get a lot of hecklers. A lot of my set stuff is a lot of fun—Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Tina Turner, other impressions I do. But the heckling part, that’s when I get to open up because the audience opens up. I get to have fun with the crowd and do comedy off the top of my head. You approach audience members a lot. What reaction do you like more: when your target audience member is more into it or when they are more reserved and scared to have that interaction? Both. In a way. When the audience is a little scared, you can kind of tell they want to be loud and woo-hoo and get all into it. But when they’re into it, you can ride that wave and say pretty much anything—that’s when you get
24 4.3.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
the standing ovations. But it’s fun both ways because you can crack them open, dig things up, see what kind of nut is in there. Can you push your comedy routine more because it’s a risqué show? Yes. We’re a topless show and later at night, so we can push it a little more because that’s the mindset of the audience. Clean comedy doesn’t really match the nudity and feel of the show. Is there anything new in your routine that you’re working on this year? Keeping it steady, but always have to add something … watching the news, there’s always something new going on. And, you know, Chris Brown is still young so he still has plenty to give. Then you have the politics thing, so it’s all day, every day. How does it feel working with an all-female cast? Good. No complaints. It’s great to have a lot of girls around; it’s a good look (smiles). What is your relationship with all the ladies? It’s a brother-sister type of thing. We don’t cross that line. I’m not
saying it’s a good thing, I’m just saying I haven’t crossed that line (laughs). Are you used to being backstage with all those ladies? I’m used to it, yeah. I’d rather see ladies with clothes on. It’s different now. It’s changed. I’ve
seen nudity now, a lot, so now I want to see ladies dressed. Is there a bonus? Yes. No matter where you go, they always bring attention. So that circle of attention is always around. Everyone benefits from it. It’s always a good look to have.

It’s getting warmer, which means it’s time to grab a frosty one. And at the Great Vegas Festival of Beer, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from. More than 100 breweries—both national and local—will offer up more than 400 different craft varieties starting at 3 p.m. April 9 in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas. Attendees can also enjoy music, food, workshops and games. Tickets are $40 general admission and $50 early entry, and a portion of the proceeds benefit both local charities and the Nevada Craft Brewers Association. For more information, go to greatvegasbeer.com.
Pups Puttin’ on the Ritz
One of Las Vegas’ favorite events of the year is here again! The Animal Foundation’s Best in Show, April 10 at Orleans Arena, puts a passel of pups through their paces, all for a good cause. Local notables such as Frankie Moreno, reporter Jamie Little and auctioneer Christian Kolberg join more than 50 dogs at the event. Tickets are $12 plus tax and fee, and not only do the proceeds benefit The Animal Foundation, every one of the canines in the dog show is available for adoption right afterward. Before the 1 p.m. competition, wander through the vendor fair and pick up a new ball or leash; vendor fair starts at noon. Call 702.284.7777 to buy your tickets.

Just in case you were worried that all famous Las Vegas marriages don’t work out, consider this: Michael Caine and wife Shakira, who were married here in 1973, just celebrated their 43rd anniversary. Employees of Nevada’s Area 51 are shuttled to and from work from a restricted access terminal at McCarran International Airport. Its unofficial title is “Janet Airlines.”
One question
Matt Goss Have you ever had an epiphany about something important in your life, and how did that change your life? When my mother passed away recently it had a profound effect on my life. The thing about loss is that it changes you. We think we are here forever. If we are blessed to have a long life, there is still so little time. My mother was an incredible force around me. She looked at me with a complete, unconditional love. Her eyes were my home, they saw the good in me. Love sparkled from her beautiful green eyes. I am lucky because my mum was my best friend. I haven’t felt that look since she left this earth. I am a changed man but I am okay until I find that look again. Even though there is a hole in my life, I don’t want to cover it with a superficial rug of false security. Why? Because the hole is still there to fall into. Instead, I will acknowledge its presence and very slowly fill it with the love that I have and the love I will find. Somewhere along the way, I will stand on that hole and it will be a bedrock where I can build a foundation upon the most love-filled place on earth. If you can, always stay connected to your mum and dad. I am my Mother’s Son. Matt Goss performs at Caesars Palace. Performances are 9:30 p.m. Tues. & Fri.Sun. Call 888.929.7849 for tickets.

“Work Bitch” and “Pretty Girls” fit seamlessly alongside “...Baby One More Time,” “(You Drive Me) Crazy” and “Oops, I Did It Again,” so much that it’s almost as if no time has passed since Spears first danced into our lives.

Retirement Plan Will Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley III stand out as a fight on its own, or is it a step toward MayPac II? Although choosing his third fight against Bradley as his last before retirement, Pacquiao told the Philippine press he’d be open for a comeback. Both welterweights have scored a victory against the other. The rivalry between the trainers has been hyped, but it’s really former commentator Teddy Atlas who stirred the pot years before he signed on to direct Bradley’s regimen for retiring Pacquiao with a loss. Atlas openly insinuated that Pacquiao used banned substances to acquire size earlier in his career. Freddie Roach has adamantly defended Pacquiao against doping accusations in the past, but hasn’t broached the subject in his recent comments on Atlas. Whether Pacquiao makes a comeback if he loses the election might be the bigger question, but first he has to best Bradley once more. –Matt Kelemen

Australia’s Hottest Imports How often do you find really handsome men with washboard abs, great smiles and fun personalities who aren’t full of themselves and aim to please the ladies? Well, that’s what you’ll find from the blokes in Australia’s Thunder From Down Under at Excalibur. The talented dancers, who perform 13 dynamic shows a week due to high demand, deliver a high-energy show with gymnastics, hip-hop dancing, shedding of clothes and lots of interaction with audience members. Bachelorette parties are big at Thunder, as are other celebrations such as birthdays, graduations and, yes, now even divorce parties. While most Las Vegas shows don’t allow guests to take pictures during the show, Thunder has a six-minute segment that is the exception. During “Uptown Funk,” one of the newest numbers in the show, audience members are encouraged to take pictures, post them on so-

Up, Up and Away VooDoo ZipLine, the popular attraction at Rio, celebrated its anniversary last summer, and people still can’t seem to get enough. For more than a year and a half now, thrill-seekers and brave souls have felt the adrenaline rush when soaring high in the air at speeds slightly over 30 miles per hour. If you’re the type who can’t deal with heights but want to face your fears, consider this—by the time you descend from Rio’s Masquerade Tower, in the blink of an eye you’ll already have made it to the Ipanema Tower at more than 800
feet in the air and be back again in 60 seconds. Just be sure to take a peek at the stunning 360-degree views of the city. The good thing is that VooDoo ZipLine accommodates up to two riders at a time, so you can face your fears next to a good friend or loved one. And as an added bonus, each rider is granted same-day complimentary entry into Rio’s nightlife hot spot, Voodoo Rooftop Nightclub. –Chanelle Hayes Rio, noon-midnight daily, $27.49, 21+ after 7:30 p.m., free entry into nightclub after 8 p.m. 702.388.0477

High Notes
British songstress brings singular style to Vegas Once, she sang wistfully of what she could accomplish if she only had a brain. In the years since, it’s obvious she had one all along, as you don’t reach her heights without one. Or without talent. We speak of British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, who at age 14 scored one of her early stage appearances playing the Scarecrow in a high school production of The Wizard of Oz. Since then? She’s been a chart-climber on both sides of the pond, releasing popular singles (“Your Song,” “Lights,” “Burn,” “Love Me Like You Do”) and albums (Lights, Halcyon and last year’s Delirium) that have attracted notice from both fans and critics, the latter focusing on her unique pipes. Consider this critique from Neil McCormick of the UK’s Daily Telegraph, who described Goulding’s voice as “something special,” then explained: “Her tremulous vibrato and slightly hoarse timbre have the feel of something primal and folky, her birdlike high notes conveying a childlike wonder while darker tones imply ancient depths of sorrow. She sings like she is strung out on the melody, warbling from a place of desperate emotion. It really is that rarest and perhaps most accidental of gifts: an original voice.” Rolling Stone magazine chimed in as well, comparing her voice favorably to Dolly Parton’s and calling her upper register “dazzling.” In an interview with Carson Daly, Goulding herself weighed in on her vocals: “I think sometimes it sounds like my voice is like, out of control,” Goulding said. “I have to really control it because it just kind of goes everywhere. Like, sometimes stuff comes out that I don’t expect. … It’s so funny because my favorite thing to do is imitate opera singers, but I’ve never had a singing lesson.” You’ve heard what they say. Now see— and hear—for yourself. –Steve Bornfeld Mandalay Bay, 7:30 p.m. April 9, $39.50-$59.50 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Fur and Frolic Las Vegas has proven itself quite welcoming to veterans of America’s Got Talent, with alums like Terry Fator, Michael Grimm, Nathan Burton, Mat Franco, Recycled Percussion and Piff the Magic Dragon all taking up residence in various casino showrooms. The winners of the show’s 2012 seventh season aren’t in Vegas to stay (at least not yet), but they’ll be making a local stop on their current Rescue Tour. The Olate Dogs are, like many AGT favorites, not the kind of act that often shows up on TV, but whose old-school charm appeals to audiences in ways that aren’t represented enough in modern pop culture. AGT acts often hearken back to old-fashioned stage shows, and the tricks performed by the rescue dogs trained by father-and-son team Richard and Nicholas Olate wouldn’t be out of place in a vaudeville show or variety act. The Olates showcased their dogs dancing and jumping as part of various circuses before rising to fame on AGT, and the Olate show is still straightforward and family-friendly. –Josh Bell

Stand-Up That’s Still Fresh What’s the deal with Jerry Seinfeld? The comedian whose wry observational style translated into one of the most successful sitcoms of all time certainly doesn’t need to work another day in his life, but he still spends much of his time on the road performing and is always developing new material. Although he’s done almost no acting since the end of Seinfeld in 1998, his dedication to stand-up comedy has only grown stronger. Seinfeld’s current main project (aside from live performances) is the online series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which is exactly what it sounds like: Seinfeld and some of the
greatest comedians working today (many of them his friends) drinking coffee and talking about comedy. While other comedians slow down their touring schedules after they achieve success in other areas, Seinfeld remains eager to perform for his fans and to craft new jokes based on his simple observations of everyday life. “This is absolutely the same experience I’ve had since I was 21 years old. I just have to be aware of everything happening around me,” he recently told the Las Vegas Sun. That awareness has translated into hilarity for nearly 40 years now. –Josh Bell

In the Cirque du Soleil production Michael Jackson ONE, four “misfits” personify aspects of Michael Jackson’s character. “Beat It” rocks the house as dancers in white fedoras re-create iconic Jackson moves. The misfits (and the audience) are pulled into “The Vortex” as time goes haywire and bungee acrobats bounce with the controlled chaos. This inner universe becomes emotionally affecting during “Stranger in Moscow,” with Jackson’s chill-inducing “how does it feel” hook taking the show in a melancholy direction. With other acts including gravity-defying acrobatics on trampolines, fantastical combinations of choreography and special effects, the audience can’t help but be entranced by one thriller of a Vegas experience. –Matt Kelemen Mandalay Bay, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Fri.Tues., $69-$180 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Flavors to Savor Have you ever seen those electronic tablets that have become popular as cocktail menus? They’re a little like Tinder for drinks. At Stack in The Mirage, you swipe left and right, and if you’re lucky, you’ll end up with something like the Berrylicious with Belvedere Black Raspberry and a skewer of berries for garnish. Stack’s eclectic menu makes the restaurant and bar a perfect stop before or after the show, or anytime you’re craving a little tapas-style action. Start your meal with crispy rock shrimp, a little salty and sweet meaty treat served with a ponzu and sweet chili dipping sauces. If you crave hearty meat, beefy offerings include the 14-ounce New York strip, a gorgeous cut that wows you from the get-go. Sweets deliver a childlike joyous feel, from the jelly doughnut holes to the mini dessert sampler. The cute little doughnuts come with dipping sauces. Strawberry shortcake, mini ice cream cone rolled in nuts, blueberry pie, banana cream pie and mint chocolate chip bon bons may leave you in ecstasy. –Nina King

Finders Keepers
That Sharp Wit Venerable entertainer Don Rickles has shared his talents as a comic with the public for the past 56 years. He’s known for his ability to pull off some hilarious pranks on his friends. One such instance was decades ago when he “set up” his close friend Frank Sinatra. Rickles and Sinatra were dining at the same restaurant but at separate tables. At the time, Rickles was single and having dinner with a pretty young woman he wanted to impress. So Rickles went over to Sinatra’s table and asked his pal to please stop by on the way
out to say hello because the woman didn’t believe they were friends. Being a good pal, Sinatra obliged, only to be met with the following from Rickles: “Frank, can’t you see I’m eating?” Sinatra told the story to Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show when both he and Rickles appeared together, and the three men had a good laugh. Rickles, known as “Mr. Warmth,” loves to tease people, it’s just part of his act, and audiences love it. –Penny Levin The Orleans, 8 p.m. April 9-10, starting at $69.95 plus tax and fee. 702.284.7777

A Shout-Out to Suds
Celebrate National Beer Day around the city It is said that on the evening of April 6, 1933, people gathered outside breweries and bars, waiting for the sun to rise on April 7. On the 7th the Cullen-Harrison Act would go into effect— the newly signed law made the sale of low-alcohol beer legal once again in the 19 states that permitted it—and after more than 13 years of Prohibition, citizens across the country indulged in more than 1 million barrels of beer. Thus, National Beer Day was born, a day set aside to celebrate the repeal and all things beer. So, this Thursday, check out some of the city’s top spots for suds in honor of the unofficial holiday. With more than 100 beers, bottled and on tap and sourced from around the world, you’d be hard-pressed to find a beer that won’t please

your palate at The Pub at Monte Carlo. From ales, lagers and ciders to Belgian, American craft and Trappist ales, you can even go over the top by ordering up the 100-ounce beer tower. With more than 160 taps, the Yard House at The Linq Promenade is one of the brand’s largest locations. Gulp on a half-yard, pint or a shorty of imported and craft beers, specialty ales and lagers, all while enjoying the outdoor patio with views of the pedestrian walkway and High Roller observation wheel. For more outdoor relaxing, stop by Umami Burger, Beer Garden & Sports Book at SLS Las Vegas. Here your group can order from the dozen beers on tap, bottled and classic, or go upscale with a choice from Umami’s reserve list,
a mix of specialty beers from around the country and globe. Can’t decide? Guests can try any four beers with a flight of 5-ounce tastings. Public House at The Venetian mixes some serious offerings with some fun recipes, resulting in a taste adventure in beer. Let the venue’s cicerone help guide you through a selection of rare cask beer, Belgians, lagers, pilsners and ales; and imbibe on beer flights and beer cocktails. If you want to keep it local, take a trek downtown to Main Street Station. There you’ll find the popular restaurant and microbrewery, Triple 7, offering six microbrews with takes on lager, brown porter, pale ale and more. Guests can also order up the Brewmaster’s Special, a rotating beer. –Kiko Miyasato

Twist Shout Alder & Birch brings natural flavors and tasty innovations to the forefront
Lamb rack
44 4.3.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
nosh cheers Sometimes you need a change, something to invigorate the spirit and come out of the past. In the last six months or so, Boyd Gaming’s been preparing recently opened Alder & Birch, a gorgeous new steakhouse at The Orleans, with sleek lines, cushy booths, windows showcasing artistic natural scenes, and a double-sided fireplace. The new décor goes perfectly with a new menu, where you can find classic dishes, but updated with a twist. Take, for example, the cocktail program. You can get traditionals, but opt for the updated version to add some spice to your night, or adjust your attitude during happy hour. The Modernista Colada features spice-infused Botran rum (with allspice, clove, ginger and cinnamon), plus familiar flavors of pineapple gomme, Calahua and brown sugar. It looks not one bit like a traditional piña colada, but it certainly captures all those beloved flavors. Another excellent drink, the Lavender Kiss, seemingly simple, combines Ketel One vodka, Grand Marnier and champagne. An orchid petal floats lightly on top. That simplicity mixed with the unexpected carries over to the menu. The typical bread basket offers a tasty surprise in the form of slices of white chocolate and macadamia bread. Classic steakhouse starters—carpaccio, lump crab cake, prawns—punctuate the appetizers, and a three-onion soup includes a decadently thick layer of Gruyère capping the bowl. The watermelon salad makes a completely refreshing dish, with salt and spice sprinkled lightly over squares of fruit and liberal amounts of goat cheese providing a creamy contrast to the juicy melon. The smallish steak section’s in-house dry-aged options include grass-fed ribeye, filet mignon and the signature A&B porterhouse, a 14-ounce cut with excellent flavor, lovely to behold. Also appealing are a 12-ounce flat-iron steak and the 22-ounce bone-in ribeye. Like all good steakhouses, Alder & Birch’s entrées make one’s mouth water as much as the steaks—the Colorado lamb rack brings in that twist through a serrano mint gelatin and oven-roasted sea bass comes with a lemon-spinach purée.
Roasted root veggies
Banana rum cake
Add some sides like blue cheese scalloped potatoes, a luscious grilled cream of corn, quinoa with sprouts and roasted root veggies—parsnips, carrots, beets—and you’ll be perfectly happy. But why not get just a little happier? Dessert can certainly do that. The double bock beer float combines the aforementioned alcohol with vanilla bean ice The Orleans cream and Baileys 5-10 p.m. salted caramel Sun.-Thurs., Irish cream liqueur. 5-11 p.m. Fri.You’ll hardly miss Sat., Social the root beer.

The banana rum cake, yet again, adds a touch of decadence with a hard birch rum sauce and vanilla bean ice cream. You can choose to drizzle a bit of the sauce over the mild cake, or set it swimming. If you set it swimming, you might get a dose of déjà vu—it’s like grandma’s rum cake, but in a good way.

Sammy’s Toasted Colada
Jason Villafaña
It’s a dream come true for Cabo Wabo’s general manager What do iconic rocker Sammy Hagar and Bronx, N.Y., native Jason Villafaña have in common? They both share a passion for Cabo Wabo Cantina inside Miracle Mile Shops. While the rocker owns the Stripside hot spot, Villafaña runs the joint as the general manager. “I moved out (to Vegas) to be exactly where I am now,” Villafaña said. “It all led up to this point.” Villafaña remembers working in neighborhood pizzerias at age 13. From there, he fell in love with the industry. “Everything I do revolves around food and people,” he said. “It’s become a lifestyle. It’s not work; it’s not about money. It’s about quality of life and enjoying what you do.” Villafaña has held positions in the kitchen, behind the bar and in management. He at-

tended culinary school in New York and spent some time working in Miami. Since moving here in 2000, Villafaña has worked alongside Michelin-starred chefs at some of Vegas’ most exclusive restaurants. Then he heard about the Cabo Wabo brand, and joined the restaurant in 2013. “I knew that’s where I wanted to be, needed to be.” And Villafaña’s thoughts about the owner who started the dream? “Sammy’s a friend. He’s a very generous person. He’ll be in the kitchen cooking; he’ll jump behind the bar and make drinks; he’ll teach you how to play guitar,” Villafaña said. “He’s an amazing person, and me and everyone here appreciate what he’s done, for all of us.” –Kiko Miyasato
Besides the Cabo Wabo tequila that Sammy Hagar is known for, the rocker has also created a line of rums—Sammy’s Beach Bar rums. The spirit is made on the Hawaiian island of Maui, sourced from Maui gold sugarcane. Two different rums—one white and one red infused with macadamia nuts—can be enjoyed neat or mixed into one of Cabo Wabo’s specialty cocktails like Sammy’s Toasted Colada. The delicious cocktail mixes Beach Bar rum with Coco Lopez and fresh pineapple juice, and is served on the rocks with a toasted coconut, agave and honey rim. “Once you have a sip you’ll say, ‘Now I’m on vacation,’” Villafaña said. –KM

Men— Go Mad Over Plaid We’re seeing plaid everywhere this season. Be it bold and wild, or subtle and shadowy, it’s all boxy and brilliant. Long live plaid! More plaid is heading for stores, and it’s expanding into new domains. Leaving behind its associations with lumberjacks and ’90s grunge rock music. From high-end labels like Band of Outsiders, Rag & Bone and Richard Chai to chain stores like Gap and American Eagle and fast-fashion retailers such as H&M and Topman, plaid’s showing up on suits, blazers, dress shirts, pants, overcoats, and accessories. The fun part about this season is mixing and matching those plaid and gingham prints, playing with texture and color to add interest. For men attempting this trend for the first time, try a pant and pair with a graphic tee and leather moto, all within one color scheme. For extra flair, try a patterned bandana that complements the pants. –Nicole Chandler

The saga of building the first state-ofthe-art arena on the Strip in more than 20 years—one intended to finally draw a Big Four league professional sports team to Las Vegas—comes to a close as of this week when two top battle-born acts from different eras take the stage on opening night this Wednesday. It couldn’t be more fitting for the first engagement to be a dream double-bill of Wayne Newton and The Killers on April 6, as for a long time the idea of a new arena seemed like a fantasy pursuit. At least five different locations—including one downtown and one south of the Strip—were pursued in the past decade, but in the end MGM Resorts and entertainment behemoth AEG partnered to break ground on acreage between New York-New York and the Monte Carlo. The fantasy became reality. That reality comes in the form of a nearly $400 million, 20,000-seat venue that will be home to basketball, boxing and mixedmartial arts, ice hockey, concerts and rodeo events. After the first shovels went into earth on May 1, 2014, 7,100 tons of steel went into the structural framework that rose from the ground.

Las Vegas has hit the perfect time of year when taking a meal outside is your best bet. That means every inch of patio in town awaits your next dinner, lunch, cocktail or beer. Here’s a look at nine of the best patios up and down the Strip.
Aria only has one restaurant with a garden patio, and it happens to look out over the pools at the resort. Head out to Herringbone, the restaurant from former Top Chef contestant Brian Malarkey, for lunch, dinner, late-night bites or even brunch. (Aria, 702.590.9898)
Take in the sights on the Strip with a giant sundae or a Frrrozen Hot Chocolate on Serendipity 3’s patio at Caesars Palace. Nosh on a foot-long hot dog, onion ring stack or The Hangover omelet, inspired by the movie. (Caesars Palace, 702.731.7373)
Visitors have called the patio at Mon Ami Gabi, with its views of the Fountains at Bellagio, the best place for people watching, all while enjoying eggs Benedict, bananas Foster waffles, steak frites and more. C’est magnifique! (Paris, 702.944.4224)
That patio at Culinary Dropout captures the thump, thump, thump of Rehab, the Hard Rock Hotel’s Sunday pool party, so keep the vibe going with fried chicken with buttermilk biscuits or soft pretzels with a provolone fondue. (Hard Rock Hotel, 702.522.8100)

This beer garden of a patio sitting along Las Vegas Boulevard in front of SLS Las Vegas features not only picnic tables and a healthy menu of craft beers but those seven delicious burgers that Umami Burger made famous. Do try the namesake with Parmesan frico, shiitake mushroom, roasted tomato and caramelized onions and place a bet at the neighboring William Hill-run sports book. (SLS Las Vegas, 702.761.7614)
Chicago chef Matthias Merges’ interpretation of Japanese street fare at Yusho sits out on the BLVD Plaza right on the Strip at the Monte Carlo. That means fantastic views while enjoying eggplant or crispy chicken steam buns, kimchi fried rice and the quirky Logan poser ramen with pork belly and crispy pork in a tonkotsu broth. (Monte Carlo, 702.730.6888)
Perhaps the most popular patio at The Linq Promenade lets you do your shots of tequila with a view of the High Roller, the tallest observation wheel in the world. If the patio at the front of the restaurant isn’t enough, take your tacos and guacamole to the other patio on the second level. Either may inspire you to take a turn on the mechanical bull. (The Linq Promenade, 702.691.3773)
Order from the iced seafood bar or the cheese and charcuterie bar at this French steakhouse at The Palazzo with a view of the Las Vegas Strip. Sip on one of 60 wines by the glass and then dig into a trio of crème brûlées at Morels. (The Palazzo, 702.414.1000)
The world’s largest Hooters clocks in at 15,200 square feet at the Palms, and guests can snack on those well-known wings served up by those gregarious and equally famous girls in orange hot shorts and owls on their T-shirts. But leave behind the 50 televisions and 16 video poker machines to step out onto the patio for a view of the Palms Pool. (Palms, 702.690.3183)

Who-What-Where Superstar Jennifer Lopez wowed the crowd at a recent performance of Time of Our Lives, Pitbull’s residency at Axis at Planet Hollywood, joining the rapper on stage. Lopez has a residency of her own, All I Have, at the same theater.
Newly engaged couple Ciara and Russell Wilson were at Tao in The Venetian. She showed off her flawless, 16-carat diamond engagement ring. Elijah Wood and Zach Cowie performed a DJ set at Hard Rock Hotel. British singer
Leona Lewis was a surprise onstage guest during Pitbull’s residency show Time of Our Lives at Planet Hollywood Resort, the night after her starring role in Cirque du Soleil’s One Night for One Drop at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts.
Musical gets a new title When the new musical mashup of The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge and Strictly Ballroom (all directed by Aussie filmmaker Baz Luhrmann), is unveiled at The Palazzo this spring, his name won’t be found in the title any longer. He had the name credit during its too-short-lived run as For the Record: Baz at Light in Mandalay Bay last year. Now it’s been revamped for The Palazzo with the working title Endless Love. Palazzo execs green-lit a makeover of the theater that housed Bob Anderson’s Frank: The Man, The Music until last December. Rows of seats have been removed to enable the cast of the new musical to leave the stage, perform and interact alongside the audience.

Believe magician Criss Angel has set Monday, Sept. 12, to launch his Heal Every Life Possible cure children’s cancer concert at his Luxor theater. Angel, whose show combines his talents with those of Cirque du Soleil, just returned from another trip to Australia to visit his 21-month-old son, Johnny Crisstopher, who is undergoing three years of chemotherapy to battle lymphoblastic leukemia. Las Vegas crooner Brian Evans, who runs the Maui Celebrity Series concerts, released a new video that features the unlikely pairing of William Shatner and Dog the Bounty Hunter. “This was a fun video to do. Dog and Beth (Duane and Beth Chapman) were great to work with.” Evans’ next video, “Planet Blue,” will be a homecoming for him in May when he shoots it here in Las Vegas. Ten world-renowned artists including Jeff Koons, Dale Chihuly, Peter Tunney and Benedetto, will pay a unique tribute to their fellow painter and superstar singer Tony Bennett at his 90th birthday celebration to benefit our Keep Memory Alive at its 20th anniversary “Power of Love” gala fundraiser for the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health on May 21 at the MGM Grand.
