From the Editor Say you, say Vegas
The first time I saw Lionel Richie live was at the Paso Robles Mid-State Fair in California in 1984. Richie’s star was never higher than it was that year, and I spent most of the performance trying to prevent overexcited women from grabbing the binoculars I needed to see him from my nose-bleed seats. What struck me most about Richie, other than his amazing voice, was what a showman he turned out to be—engaging the audience, telling jokes, even attempting a truly lame moonwalk a la Michael Jackson. Every time “Easy” comes on the radio, I remember that evening and Richie’s enduring contributions to popular music. I’m expecting about the same level of enthusiasm as Richie begins his extended run of shows at Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas. It may have been decades since he said “Hello,” but there’s a whole generation out there who want to relive those days. Count me among them. If for some reason you aren’t able to get tickets to see Richie, don’t fret: You may not be able to dance on the ceiling with the former Commodore, but you can dance with yourself while enjoying Billy Idol at Mandalay Bay. Or you can get some “Candy” to satisfy your sweet tooth with funk masters Cameo at Westgate. Or pay a visit to Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton, at Bally’s. Because it doesn’t matter if you’re listening to “Truly,” “Word Up” or “Danke Schoen”: None of them have lost one bit of their ability to make you smile.

David Cross
Comedian returns to touring David Cross is on tour for the first time in five years, providing him a rare break from his prolific work on film and television. Series such as W/ Bob and David and The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret have recently found him pushing comedy boundaries into more innovative territories. Cross, who appears May 7 at the Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel, spoke with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen about how recovering from surgery led to his return to stand-up. Do you think you’d be doing a stand-up tour this year if your shoulder surgery in September didn’t interfere with working on film and TV productions? No. The project that I was going to be working on, that I had carved out a bunch of time for, got postponed, and then I found out that I needed this surgery, which was pretty intensive. So yeah, that’s what made me consider it ... Did you catalog the last five years of stand-up ideas while you were recovering? It’s always a little daunting when you start putting stuff together and I go through the same thing every time. I did this time as well: “Oh no, do I have enough material? Is this going to work? Is it good enough? What structure should I put it in? Is this thing too weak?” The thing about the surgery is it’s really inconvenient. You can’t use your arm for months. You keep waking up in pain from rolling over on your arm while you’re sleeping. Oh yeah. I had this whole thing kind of kitted up. You can’t really sleep on your side. You have to sleep standing up, and I had this whole thing with all these pillows and blankets that were set up to do that. Anybody who’s had the surgery knows what I’m talking about—but yeah, I had a time I had
24 5.1.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
to get everything ready by. Went out, started working on bits, then did two kinds of unannounced one-hour drop-ins to see if it was the right sequencing. That’s usually the biggest question. I’ve got all this material, but what goes where? There’s no way to really know what it’s going to be like to come out on stage in front of, whatever it is, 1,600, 2,000 people, and do an hour-plus until you actually do it—as many little kind of warm-up sessions that I could do in a basement in Brooklyn for 40 people. I guess there’s no real way to know until you do it. You’ve mentioned in interviews that your approach to stand-up hasn’t changed much since the mid- to late’90s—one-third jokes, one-third topical, one-third anecdotal. That’s not really how I approach it. That’s how it ends up shaking out. If I wanted to, I’ve certainly got enough material that three-fifths of it could be anecdotal, and twofifths jokes and no topical stuff, or I could mix it up. I just think this is a pretty good, evenly distributed hour and 15 minutes, I think. You’ve talked about becoming more intuitive. Can you recall points when it felt like you were hitting a new level? Probably the biggest difference is trying to approach this set and
this evening in a different way than I did the last tour, which was a different way from the time I did it before that. First time I did it, it was consciously loose and rambling. I had bands open up, it was all in music venues and it was all standing. It was just a night of kind of drunken debauchery, and I would be up there for two hours, two-anda-half hours drinking the whole time. It was very loose and more of a dialogue almost, and then
the second time I went out it was a little less of that, but with all sorts of plants in the audience. This was just, “I’m going to do this at theaters. I’m not going to have an opener. I’m going to come out and do an hour and 15 minutes, maybe longer, and it’s going to be tighter. I’m going to work towards that, because I haven’t really done that.” So that’s somewhat of an evolution, but I just wanted to approach it differently each time, each tour.

The T-Mobile Arena, a 650,000-squarefoot multiuse facility near New York-New York, took two years to build at a cost of $375 million. Former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson, who performs in his own one-man show at MGM Grand, still holds the record for being the youngest boxer to unify the titles—at 20 years old. The Las Vegas Strip now hosts three America’s Got Talent champions— Terry Fator at The Mirage, Mat Franco at The Linq and Paul Zerdin at Planet Hollywood.
You could never put a price tag on how much you love your mother—after all, a motherchild relationship is priceless. But if, come this Mother’s Day, you want to show her she’s worth everything, there might be no better way than purchasing a piece from iconic Tiffany & Co. This year, the Mother’s Day Collection includes a variety of gorgeous pieces from the famed blue-box jeweler. For the stylish mom, add to her earring collection with the simple yet striking Elsa Peretti mesh earrings in 18k gold with diamonds ($2,400). The Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger Rope six-row X ring with diamonds ($4,900) will sparkle on Mom’s finger. Or go more modest, yet beautifully artistic, with the Paloma Picasso olive leaf band ring in 18k gold ($1,550). And while the key-shape jewelry has popped up in the Tiffany & Co. collections for a few years now, the latest sparkly embellishment is a truly stunning piece of jewelry for mom to blush over—the Tiffany Keys garden pendant in platinum and 18k gold with yellow diamonds ($12,000). Visit one of four Tiffany & Co. stores located on the Las Vegas Strip to view or purchase from the specially curated Mother’s Day Collection, which includes several other stunning pieces such as a watch, earrings, necklace and bangle. –Kiko Miyasato Tiffany & Co. locations include Fashion Show, 702.734.1461; The Forum Shops at Caesars, 702.644.3065, Bellagio, 702.697.5400; The Shops at Crystals, 702.545.9090 or tiffany.com

Still a Rebel The Billy Idol: Forever series of shows at Mandalay Bay is the final chapter of Idol’s most ambitious tour since his ’80s heyday. Idol was part of the original pack of Sex Pistols followers and one of the many fans that started a band. Generation X outlived the initial blast of British punk, with Idol going against the grain by demonstrating reverence rather than contempt for ’60s rock and ’70s glam. He became ubiquitous stateside through videos from his 1982 self-titled solo album such as “White Wedding” and “Dancing with Myself,” but it would be the title track from 1983’s Rebel Yell that turned him into a phenomenon.

The Sound Endures When the Violent Femmes released We Can Do Anything in March, it was the band’s first album of new material in 16 years. The quirky trio, featuring original collaborators Gordon Gano on guitar and vocals and Brian Ritchie on bass, plus current drummer John Sparrow, is known for ’80s college-radio hits “Blister in the Sun” and “Gone Daddy Gone,” and has been a staple of the alt-rock scene since the early 1980s (before anybody called it “alt-rock”). Always a cult act of sorts, the band has built up influence and popularity over more than 30 years. After 2000’s album Freak Magnet, Gano announced that the band would no longer record new music, but he finally changed his mind this year, for an album that Classic Rock Magazine calls “a breezy return to what they do best.” That means quirky lyrics and vocals, an appealingly ragged, acoustic sound, and support from the Femmes’ backing musicians, known as the Horns of Dilemma. Live, the Femmes mix sharp, precise wit with loose, sometimes improvised musicianship from the rotating members of the Horns. It’s an approach that’s garnered them a loyal following over the past three decades. –Josh Bell

What a Weekend Art on the Plate Every component of Picasso at Bellagio is awe-inspiring. Executive chef Julian Serrano has built a considerable reputation on this menu, inspired by traditional French and Spanish cuisine. Picasso’s menus do not allow a la carte eating. If you’re looking for options, look no further than its Prix Fixe, four courses with tantalizing choices at every turn. Current highlights include a warm quail salad with sautéed artichokes and pine nuts, a filet of

Dubstep producer and DJ Borgore, pictured, gets bodies on the floor with singles such as “Booty Monsta” (collaborated on with producer Victor Niglio). On the hip-hop side, Ty Dolla Sign wrote and produced YG’s “Toot It and Boot It.” Singles include “Paranoid” and “Blasé”—he’s penned hooks on tracks like Chris Brown’s “Loyal.” As Rob Base and the late-great DJ E-Z Rock put it: “It takes two to make a thing go right / It takes two to make it outta sight,” and this week, Borgore and Ty Dolla Sign join forces for Foxtail Pool Live’s opening. –Chanelle Hayes SLS Las Vegas, opens at 10:30 a.m. May 7, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.761.7619

A Storied Career Few entertainers make the effort to connect with their audiences like Wayne Newton does. Over the course of almost six decades, Newton has given his all during every show to give his audiences what they want, singing his greatest songs and playing more than a dozen instruments, making it impossible for anyone to deny his commitment and passion. And now Mr. Las Vegas is back in the limelight at Bally’s, only this time he’s connecting in a different way—relaying stories from his life and answering questions from the audience in Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal. Whether Newton is discussing becoming a musical icon while still in his early 20s, entertaining U.S. troops for decades or breeding Arabian horses, he’ll have more than enough material to keep audiences enthralled. And as an added bonus, Newton will play a few tunes to remind everyone of his impact on American music, from “Danke Schoen” to “Daddy Don’t
You Walk So Fast.” Even if you’ve been to numerous Newton performances, this show guarantees a side of him you’ve never seen, or heard, before. –Ken Miller

Hidden Sanctuary We keep no secrets, so we’re letting some very big cats out of the bag, to wit: You can see some very big cats at Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat (plus splashy mammals). Created by the magic maestros, the garden/habitat is a haven for the rare, endangered animals to which the duo have devoted their lives and featured in performances. Within the garden, witness the exotic beauty of the royal white tigers of Nevada and white lions of Timbavati, Bengal tigers, and a black panther, among others. Segueing to a splashier
environment (owing to 2.5 million gallons of water), framed by palm trees and lush foliage, the habitat serves as both a dolphin playground and research facility to educate the public about these intelligent creatures. Visitors can delight in their natural friskiness in views from both above and below the water. –Steve Bornfeld The Mirage, hours vary, call for information, ticket sales begin at 11 a.m., last admission 1 hour prior to close, $22, $17 children 4-12, children 3 and under free with adult, annual pass $55, $42 children 4-12. 702.791.7188
Shack-A-Palooza Shake Shack at New York-New York has become an ideal people-watching spot, thanks to the completion of The Park. And while you’re enjoying the sights along with your burger, make sure to treat your group to an only-in-Vegas dessert: The Shack-A-Palooza. This beast feeds six by combining chocolate, vanilla and the flavor of the week custard and drizzling it with fudge, caramel and marshmallow sauce. It’s all topped with chocolate truffle cookie dough, chocolate toffee, Belgian waffles and chocolate sprinkles.

Keeping the Funk Alive
Group rewinds the clock with biggest hits Not only were the ’70s soft rock and disco—it was also a prime time for funk, a genre that fuses soul, a little bit of jazz and R&B. Acts like Parliament-Funkadelic and Sly and the Family Stone had already found success in this musical direction and paved the way for groups such as Cameo, founded by Larry Blackmon. That funk sound is far from gone, as Cameo begins its resident show inside the intimate Westgate Cabaret. Lead singer Blackmon, Tomi Jenkins, Charlie Singleton, Aaron Mills, Anthony Lockett, Jeff Nelson, Jonathan Moffett and Kevin Kendrick run through the group’s biggest hits, “Single Life,” “Back and Forth,” “Attack Me With Your Love,” “She’s Strange,” and, of course, “Candy” and “Word Up.”
32 5.1.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
Cameo always had that magic touch: The ability to get people up and on the dance floor with funky tracks and smooth grooves. Who doesn’t still love: “It’s like candy, I can feel it when you walk / Even when you talk it takes over me … or “Come on, baby, tell me what’s the word / Word up (Up, up), everybody say / When you hear the call you’ve got to get it underway.” It takes you back in time, doesn’t it? But the show is about more than just those old-school days—Cameo adds contemporary elements, too, shining the spotlight on Priest Forever and John O, better known as Harlembased hip-hop duo The Gecko Brothas. It’s a concert experience that’s all so funky, yet so fresh. –Chanelle Hayes

Cameo
Cameo was originally called the New York City Players but changed that name because it was similar to another group’s name “Candy” reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the R&B charts in 1987. The song has been sampled by such artists as Mariah Carey and Tupac Shakur

All Grown Up At 23 years old, Selena Gomez is already on her fifth album, and she’s already racked up eight chart-topping hits, including songs like “A Year Without Rain,” “Love You Like a Love Song,” “Who Says,” “Hands to Myself” and “Same Old Love.” She started her acting career at just 10 years old, as one of the kids on PBS’ Barney and Friends, and released her first album (with backing band The Scene) at age 17 in 2009. Most artists are just finding their voice at this age, but on her new album Revival, Gomez is already reinventing her sound, with a mature and confident approach on songs like the sultry “Good for You” and the empowering title track. Gomez is kicking off her world tour in support of Revival here in Las Vegas, in what promises to be her biggest pop production yet. She’ll also be bringing along one of her colleagues from her Disney Channel days (The Wizards of Waverly Place), with DNCE, the new band featuring Joe Jonas, serving as the tour’s opening act. As far as she’s come in her career so far, Gomez is really just getting started. –Josh Bell

Double the Star Power Attitude is where it’s at, and country superstar Reba McEntire has always had plenty to spare—a little sweet and more than a little feisty. She’s currently performing with Brooks & Dunn at Caesars Palace, but thanks to the talents of female impersonator Ryan Zink, you can also catch her across the street—at Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq. In costume, mannerisms and pure attitude, Zink gives Reba her full due, strutting across the stage to some of her biggest hits. She’ll be joined by some of the world’s top female impersonators paying tribute to everyone from Madonna and Cher to Diana Ross and Lady Gaga. Heading up the fun is Marino, a Strip headliner for more than 30 years who counts Joan Rivers among his repertoire of over-the-top characters. Expect lots of humor in between the famous ladies—Marino delights in skewering the pop culture events of the day, always appearing onstage in a different, elaborate costume. –Ken Miller

The question of whether the 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 Selena Gomez photo courtesy of Interscope Raiding the Rock Vault photo by Raen Badua

Making Dreams a Reality Welcome to Fantasy—a sensual kaleidoscope of hot gals crossed with cool choreography, the comedy of Sean E. Cooper and powerhouse singing of Lorena Peril, who returns and replaces Jaime Lynch after almost three years. Over 75 minutes—and going into its 17th year at Luxor—Fantasy spotlights its topless, tantalizing dancers in an array of numbers, including the snappy opening set to Little Mix’s “Salute,” a seductive fan dance, a sensual and gymnastic shimmy up and down a red silk, floor-to-ceiling ribbon, and other sexy segments synced to an eclectic soundtrack. Several scenes follow, as we see the ladies dress in everything from lingerie and cowboy boots to leather, lace and G-strings. Vignettes include scenes on a bed, on top of a piano and on the stripper pole. We see the girls go country, old Hollywood and even rock ’n’ roll. On point and on time, the quality of choreography sets
the bar high, and the dancers clear it with each successive routine. The show closes with sweet satisfaction, as the Fantasy ladies prowl back onstage. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Firing Up the Flavors Gordon Ramsay is one of the most recognized culinary figures in the world, never failing to live up to expectations as a passionate, fierce kitchen commander. Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris was the second steakhouse in Las Vegas to make use of legendary New York butcher Pat LaFrieda’s beef, dry aged for at least 28 days. The highlight cut is the royal longbone chop for two. One of the more unique steaks on the menu is the American Kobe rib cap,

Night to Remember Nearly 60 years ago, Sun Records owner Sam Phillips brought a young, hungry Jerry Lee Lewis into the studio to play piano on a Carl Perkins recording session. As the session turned into an impromptu jam with the arrivals of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, some accounts describe Lewis as being the standout performer of the session that, 50 years later, would inspire the musical Million Dollar Quartet. The character of The Killer inarguably infuses the stage show with the impetuous energy and braggadocio the real Lewis became famous for, and it was a role Martin Kaye was born to play. Rob Lyons, the Vegas production’s musical director, who has been part of Million Dollar Quartet since its mid-2000s Seattle origins, wears the blue blazer as Perkins. Justin Shandor is a familiar face as Elvis. Million Dollar Quartet features the “Real Wild Child,” “Matchbox,” “Who Do You Love” and “Folsom Prison Blues,” but Kaye’s “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” brings down the house. –Matt Kelemen

Dramatic Dance, Japanese Style Don’t expect to see your favorite semifamous couple kicking up their heels quite like this on Dancing with the Stars. Not unless ABC green-lights a spinoff called Kabuki with the Stars. That, for the uninitiated, is the colorful Japanese art of dance drama, and until that spinoff comes along, you can find it at MGM Grand with Kabuki Lion Shi-Shi-O: The Adventures of the Mythical Lion. Kabuki Lion, presented in Vegas to celebrate Japan’s Golden Week, is a fourcourse feast of visual stimulation, owing
to vivid fight scenes, intricate choreography, colorful makeup and “onnagata”— male actors who impersonate women. Expect a battle with a mythical creature, a search for a sacred sword, immersion in a strange netherworld and the imparting of spiritual wisdom. The show stars renowned Japanese kabuki artist Somegorê Ichikawa.

Celebrate Mexican holiday with specials all around the city While Cinco de Mayo marks the date in history for the Mexican army’s defeat over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, it has become somewhat of a novelty celebration in the U.S. and other parts around the world. The holiday has become a day to indulge in all things Mexican, especially food and drink. And Las Vegas gets in on the action this May 5. Three spots that party all year round will no doubt amp up the festivities—Carlos n’ Charlie’s at Flamingo, Diablo’s Cantina at Monte Carlo and Señor Frog’s at Treasure Island. All three are Mexican food- and drink-based, so you can easily get into the Cinco de Mayo spirit. For more Mexican-themed fun, stop by Tacos & Tequila at Luxor. From 6-9 p.m., guests can

party alongside social media personality and model Jessa Hinton as she hosts “Sexy de Mayo Trés.” Enjoy interactive games and food and drink specials for the three-hour fiesta, including $5 bottles of Dos Equis and the holiday cocktail, Cincorita, mixed with El Jimador tequila. For some partying on the patio, Rhumbar at The Mirage hosts its own Cinco de Mayo bash, with a DJ spinning outdoors from 9:30 p.m.-1 a.m. Enjoy the special Rhumbarita, a mix of Cimarrón tequila, Bittermens Citron Sauvage, grapefruit juice, lime juice and simple syrup. From 2-6 p.m. guests can order $5 specials including Cruzan strawberry punch, frozen daiquiris, Coors Light and vodka cocktails. Rhumbar also offers unlimited hookah sessions for $65.
Cabo Wabo Cantina at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood takes the celebration to the patio, too, with live music starting at 7 p.m. and drink specials like the $21 tequila flight, which lets you sample blanco, reposado and anejo. Kick it poolside at Hard Rock Hotel’s Pink Taco as the restaurant and bar kicks off its PinkO de Mayo party at 11 a.m. DJs and a mariachi band will set the mood while guests can indulge in the taco cart and food and drink specials, including all Mexican beers. If you think you can handle it, go for the taco-eating contest. And, if you are downtown, check out El Cortez Hotel & Casino, where all casino bars will offer guests free chips and salsa and $5 Patron shots and Patron margaritas! –Kiko Miyasato Pink Taco photo by Brian Brown Diablo’s Cantina and Rhumbar photos by Peter Harasty Señor Frog’s photo by Beverly Poppe

The week leading up to Mother’s Day means it is the perfect time to tell that lady how special she is. Recognize her with a treat—like tea. A favorite with many a child and many a mother, one of
the most charming ways to honor Mom has to be the tea party. Whether it’s afternoon high tea, or a twist on that tradition, you’ll find plenty of intriguing options on the Las Vegas Strip.

The elegant Petrossian Bar & Lounge at Bellagio, just off the hotel lobby, features afternoon tea service from 1-4 p.m. daily, complete with classic teapot and matching cups. Indulge in pastries, scones and clotted cream, a variety of English tea sandwiches and imported teas (reservation strongly suggested, 702.693.7111 ext. 6163, 21-plus only). And the pianist is sure to thrill Mom. At Mandarin Oriental, the lush, ornate Tea Lounge serves tea and snacks from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. But at noon, 2 and 4 p.m., you can get a full afternoon tea experience with pastries and loose-leaf teas, or a glass of champagne. Need vegan or gluten-free options? Just let them know when you make your reservations (24-hour advance reservation required, 888.881.9367). Another option is Verandah at Four Seasons, which offers an extensive high tea from 3 to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday (24hour advance reservation required, 702.632.5000). Sandwiches, scones with Devonshire cream and organic teas highlight the experience. Champagne or a Zen cocktail adds to the decadence. And if you need afternoon tea in a more casual yet international atmosphere, head to Rí Rá at The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay. The Irish pub serves up tea daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (702.632.7771), including finger sandwiches (some with Irish cheddar, of course), scones with Irish preserves and mini desserts, and teas from Darjeeling to chamomile lemon. Add champagne if you wish.

Tea doesn’t have to be limited to the hot kind—think of those lovely, refreshing raspberry iced teas or the infamous Long Island iced tea. One of the trendier teas you can get is boba tea (or bubble tea). Although there are many iterations of this beverage, it is generally sweet with flavorful tapioca beads inside, ready to be sucked through colorful straws. At Hong Kong Café in The Palazzo (702.607.2220), teatime is sure to increase Mom’s sweet disposition—indulge in the taro milk tea with boba for maximum flavor. That’s just the tip of the teas, though—you can try several varieties of milk teas, hot teas and even Thai iced tea. Pair it with mochi to make the day perfect.

Cocktail server finds success in Sin City All it took was one vacation to Las Vegas for Sara Cutshall to realize it was where she wanted to be. As soon as she returned to her hometown of Boise, Idaho, she told her parents of her plan to move to Vegas. “It was with their support that I came here,” she said. “I packed up my car, and I drove out.” Today, Cutshall has a thriving career working as a cocktail server at Palms Pool & Dayclub. She’s been with Palms for nearly four years, starting off as a dancer at the property’s nowshuttered nightclubs Rain and Moon. During the winter season, when the pool closes, Cutshall returns to dancing at Palms’ daylife party GBDC. “Every year I have worked here I have always met such nice people, people from all over the

world,” she said. “Working at Palms, it’s just a cool, cool job.” Cutshall even met her fiancé while working at Palms. Together Cutshall and her fiancé own an art/ dance studio downtown, where she teaches belly dancing. Even with her schedule split between the Palms and the studio, Cutshall still finds time for her other passion, traveling. Some of the spots she has visited so far include Mexico, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Spain, Amsterdam and Ireland. Not bad for a small-town girl who, on a whim, changed her life. “I love coming to work at Palms. I work very hard (but) it’s also very rewarding,” Cutshall said. “Moving to Vegas—it was the best decision.” –Kiko Miyasato
This season, Palms Pool & Dayclub offers six specialty cocktails. For something a little extra, order the Nectar—a blend of Belvedere Peach Nectar vodka, Kalani Coconut rum liqueur and soda with a keepsake festival-inspired flower headband. May 6 kicks off the pool’s weekly party, Ditch Fridays, with a special musical performance by Yo Gotti. The long-running pool party amps up its offerings this year, too. Enjoy over-the-top bottle presentations, cornhole, beer pong, pool floats in the shape of pizza slices, donuts and swans, champagne spray guns, the Bud Light deck and much more. There’s even a party package available for just $1 million! –KM

Fringe Benefits The flexible trend works any time of year We are fringing this season—yes, fringing. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to express yourself with it. From sweaters to evening gowns, pumps to purses, it is being used on practically every type of garment and accessory possible. Fringing comes in all lengths and styles while adding both drama and femininity to any look. Here are a few ways to make this flexible trend work for your fashion persona. Make fringe your statement piece. Pick up a fringed jacket. Add a dash of fringe with an accessory. If you’re daring enough to dive deep into this trend, fringed skirts, jackets, dresses and even belts make a huge impact. To slowly embrace this trend, a fringe accessory such as a bag or earrings will make a statement. Invest in one of these items now, and you’ll be able to wear it well into next fall. –Nicole Chandler

But where you can cool off the most is at the newly remodeled and expanded Minus5 Ice Bar. Here, guests can don parkas and faux-fur coats and step inside the ice lounge for a cocktail served in all-ice glasses, while taking a seat on an all-ice chair.

For the ladies, treat your spring-into-summer skin with specialty items from L’Core Luxury Cosmetics and Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics. L’Core offers makeup consultation while Lush

Terry Fator celebrates anniversary with a new character and extended contract Prepare for another twist of Fator. Beyond animating an impersonating turtle, a country crooner, an Elvis imitator, a lounge singer, a fifth Beatle and a crash-test dummy, among others, the man who makes his living doing what in the real world might earn him a punch in the schnoz—putting words in the mouths of others—is now giving life to … a Latin l-o-o-o-o-o-o-v-e-r. You can practically purr his name: Fernando V. Francisco. Heir to the amorous legacy of Pepe Le Pew. Expect new ventriloquism comedy along the lines of … Come close, mi querida (“darling” to you gringos)— Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! … The cast newbie can’t keep his lips to himself. Nor can the bigger guy next to him with his hand up lover boy’s back. “I didn’t have a character who could sing Julio Iglesias and Ricky Martin songs,” says Fator, who does—whoops, sorry, whose new character does— a fiery take on Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” among other Latin-style barn-burners. “I always look for something I don’t have represented in my show,” says Fator of Fernando’s talents. “I got the character from watching Puss in Boots in Shrek, (voiced by) Antonio Banderas. He’s the one the wee-men loooooove.” Oooh-la-la! … Wait, sorry. That’s French. Anyway, Fernando’s entry coincides with Fator’s seventh anniversary at The Mirage in his self-titled theater, celebrated with an extension of his contract through 2021, solidifying—though it was already pretty solid—his status as a signature Las Vegas headliner. Come September, he will rewrite his show again to keep it so new that it could earn a seal of freshness from the Food and Drug Administration.

“All the routines will be rewritten for all the characters because every time you come to my show, whether it’s 10 or 15 or 20 times, I want you to see at least one new routine, or two or three new songs,” Fator says. “And my show is so much more than just ventriloquism. You’re not just seeing a guy get up and tell jokes with puppets. You’re seeing impressions, the best of the greats—Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison and Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole and the new ones here now. You even get Adele. It speaks to everyone because of the music factor.” Coincidentally, ventriloquism speaks to increasing audiences these days, including in Vegas, where Jeff Dunham enjoyed success during his 2014-15 residency at Planet Hollywood Resort. Now Fator, the season two winner of America’s Got Talent, shares the Strip with the season 10 champ, ventriloquist Paul Zerdin. A neat comeback for an age-old entertainment form that once was widely dismissed as—to put it politely— quaint, especially as puppets and dummies became better known as psycho killers in cheap horror flicks. “I do believe that my success has had something to do with the resurgence of respect for ventriloquism, but people don’t realize that ventriloquists have been around forever,” Fator says, citing acts such as Edgar Bergen, Senor Wences, Shari Lewis and even Soap’s Jay Johnson. “Ventriloquism has never gone away; it just was not in the public eye. I’m not sure why ventriloquism started taking a backseat to other types of entertainment. That’s OK. Everything The Mirage goes in cycles. Who would have ever 7:30 p.m. Mon.thought back in the ’70s that mime would Thurs., additional become internationally famous through Marcel 7:30 p.m. show Marceau?

directional guide for the surrounding area, shooting up into the sky above the north Strip. The 1,149-foot structure disappears several times a year when cloud banks roll over Las Vegas Boulevard, while the reactions of guests experiencing rides more than 100 stories above the casino floor can be heard from miles away on clear evenings. The Stratosphere Las Vegas’ commitment to “Take Vegas Back” is year-round, however, and with the property celebrating its 20th anniversary, its management finds it more important than ever to maintain its dedication to what it sees as traditional Vegas values while refining the property to meet the demands and tastes of its clientele. That’s pretty much what maverick casino owner Bob Stupak had in mind when he envisioned a skeletal tower design rising from his existing Vegas World in the 1980s. Stupak, who died in 2009, was out of the picture shortly after the property opened in April of 1996. The property went bankrupt soon after that and was acquired by mega-investor Carl Icahn. Icahn’s American Casino & Entertainment Properties changed hands in 2008, and a series of renovations and re-imaginations kicked off in 2010 with a $20 million makeover, culminating last year in the Stratosphere’s “Take Back Vegas” campaign. “We actually just launched our second wave of messaging on that,” says Stratosphere general manager Paul Hobson. “We’ve had some new commercials that are a little more specific about the property. We started off launching the movement, then the reveal was, ‘Stratosphere is behind this.’ Now the evolution of that message is, ‘Stratosphere is where you’re going to find this kind of experience that appeals to you. We’re here to take care of you.’” Hobson feels improvements of fundamentals at the 2,427-room Stratosphere have resonated with travelers. Business is brisk in the tower, where Top of the World continues to offer sophisticated cuisine as its dining area rotates for a 360-degree tour of Vegas during a meal.

as well, best enjoyed accompanied by the venue’s acclaimed martinis. And highaltitude thrill rides Big Shot, Insanity and X-Scream (along with free-fall attraction SkyJump) have perfect records in both safety and adrenaline-junkie satisfaction. New to the Stratosphere’s retail selections is Ashba Clothing, opened in April by longtime Guns N’ Roses guitarist and current Sixx:A.M. band member DJ Ashba, who chose the property for his flagship store. On the second-floor showroom level, Michael Jackson tribute show MJ Live and the L.A. Comedy Club joined calendar-girl show PIN UP (starring 2011 Playboy Playmate of the Year Claire Sinclair) last year as part of the entertainment options. Six floors up is newly remodeled rooftop pool Elation. Minors accompanied by adults are welcome (25th floor pool Radius is adults-only), but the Elation Poolside Bar & Café does provide tropical cocktails along with its Baja-style menu options and boasts “the best cabana value on the Strip.” Non-hotel guests can gain entry with a $10 admission or become a Take Vegas Back member for a $5 admission. The commitment to value and anticipating guest needs extends to the first floor, where diners can go Italian at Fellini’s, go retro at Roxy’s Diner or go comfort food at McCall’s Heartland Grill. Steaks and seafood—along with McCall’s can’t-miss applewood-bacon jalapeño-wrapped prawns—are now accompanied by an enhanced whiskey experience. Selections from the Kentucky bourbon trail—Angel’s Envy and Blanton’s are highlights—are offered in flight form, four at a time. “As soon as we made the change, we could see there was a lot of desire for that,” says McCall’s manager Christo Zaferatos. “Once we offered it, it just seemed like it came out really natural, especially attached to a steakhouse heartland grill. I think it pairs very nicely with the ambience of the restaurant.” And it fits in nicely with the second wave of “Taking Vegas Back,” which includes benefits presented to guests in the form of “Random Acts of Rewards,” and continued free parking as much of the south end of the Strip prepares to begin charging on May 31. That’s one refinement Stratosphere guests do not demand.

IF THERE WERE a world record for the most time a human being has said (or sang) the word “hello,” Lionel Richie would likely hold it. Richie never gets tired of singing his signature ballad and doesn’t appear to tire of joking about it. He has never seemed to be anything but tirelessly upbeat, a major factor in both his chart-topping success in the ’80s as well as the comeback he’s enjoyed in the past several years. The superstar musician parlayed the momentum generated by smash 2012 album Tuskegee into a tour that lasted more that two years, culminating this year in Richie’s All the Hits residency at Planet Hollywood Resort. Richie is enjoying every minute of playing to audiences that reach six figures and wildly responsive festival crowds that at first left him visibly shocked at how universally loved his hits continue to be. “Mine is just a legal excuse to be a kid again,” he told BBC Breakfast anchor Louise Minchin in 2014. “I never have to grow up as long as I do live shows.” Richie does indeed barely look like he’s aged since winning an Academy Award in 1986 for “Say You, Say Me,” the fourth and final of a run of No. 1 solo hits that helped make his music both soundtrack for and symbol of the 1980s. It’s more than ’80s nostalgia, though, that once again drives audiences into ecstasy by the millions
and puts him at the top of the charts again. (His appearance after last year’s Glastonbury Festival caused a greatest hits package to rocket to No. 1 in the U.K.). Today’s concert-going audiences predominantly want upbeat entertainment, and Richie’s contagious confidence fits right into festival experiences such as 2014’s Life is Beautiful in Downtown Las Vegas, where Richie was a headlining draw. With shows that run through May 18 at the Axis at Planet Hollywood and resume in the fall, Richie will have 18 total opportunities to make life beautiful in Las Vegas during 2016. Richie’s most fervent fans would say that’s what he’s been doing his whole life. Raised by a musically nurturing family in the supportive community of Tuskegee, Ala., Richie co-founded The Commodores while attending Tuskegee Institute. By 1971, the band began a two-year stint supporting the Jackson 5, then won over audiences as the opening act in The Rolling Stones’ 1975 tour. By 1977, The Commodores were on top of the world with songs such as funk workout “Brick House” and Richie’s ballad “Easy” reaching the Top 5, but the blockbuster success of his No. 1 duet with Diana Ross “Endless Love” in 1981 set Richie on a solo career course. His decision was validated when “Truly” hit No. 1 in 1982. Richie went to No. 1 again with “All Night Long” in 1983 and “Hello” in 1984, as well as penning USA for Africa’s famine-relief benefit single “We Are the World” with Michael Jackson. His 1983 album Can’t Slow Down reached No. 1, but by the end of the decade, with four Grammys under his belt and pop culture cycling through other superstars, he did begin to slow down. His popularity in the Middle East continued to climb, though, as he would eventually find out, and his childhood predilection for country music that first surfaced when he composed 1980 hit “Lady” for Kenny Rogers emerged again in 2012 with Tuskegee. Reinterpretations of his classics, featuring country superstars Jason Aldean, Luke Bryant, Willie Nelson, Shania Twain and more, made the entertainment world reassess Richie’s work, and he’s been enthusiastically riding the comeback wave ever since. It will be awhile before Lionel Richie can slow down again.

The Journey Continues One of Cirque du Soleil’s most vigorous exercises in athletic mysticism, KÀ (MGM Grand, 702.531.3826) was named for the Egyptian legend of ká, an invisible spirit that travels with everyone.

Bottom line: a feast for the senses that plays with your spatial perceptions, creating the illusion of a deep abyss with essentially a stageless stage of giant revolving platforms— with lots of colorful, human moving parts. So hang on—you’re not dreaming. –Steve Bornfeld

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 Jennifer Lawrence, who generated headlines for going braless in a black tank top during CinemaCon at Caesars Palace, damaged her toe when her Passengers co-star Chris Pratt accidentally dropped a mic on her foot.
Actor Tom Felton enjoyed dinner at Tao in The Venetian. Choreographer Mary Murphy and R&B singer-songwriter and producer Durrell Babbs, aka Tank, separately attended Absinthe at Caesars Palace. Redfoo and The Party Rock
Crew were the life of the party at Lavo at The Palazzo as they broke out in dance and got the restaurant joining in when the DJ played their songs. Teen Wolf star Cody Christian celebrated his 21st birthday with some friends at Tao in The Venetian.
Sabato hosts Chippendales Antonio Sabato Jr.’s sex appeal is magnetic. His good looks are stunning. His physique is overpowering. Now the Italian-American actor and model who scorched with his Calvin Klein underwear ads and his risque role as Jagger Cates on General Hospital is headed to Las Vegas. For five weeks starting May 5, Antonio is set to drive fans wild when he goes bare-chested with the handsome hunks of Chippendales The Show at Rio. Sabato said his wife, Cheryl, who he married in 2012, loves the idea. “She told me to go have fun stripping with the Chippendales dancers. She says she can’t wait to see me onstage in action, so she’s coming along, too,” Antonio told me.

Producers of the 2016 Billboard Music Awards are hoping to land Planet Hollywood Resort headliner Britney Spears for their telecast from the new T-Mobile Arena on May 22 so that she can debut her new single, “Make Me (Oooh).” But there are a lot of logistics and times to be resolved before any final decision, so the official status is “nothing can be confirmed or denied at this time.” Wealthy natural-gas tycoon and regular Las Vegas poker player Bill Perkins lost his $600,000 bet to notorious Instagram playboy Dan Bilzerian, who completed a nearly 300-mile bicycle ride from Las Vegas to Los Angeles in well under the 48-hour time limit the gamblers had wagered. Bilzerian also picked up an additional side-bet win of $250,000 from high-stakes poker player Rick Salomon. New York artist Peter Tunney is creating an original painting made from every one of Tony Bennett’s album covers from the 1950s to the present in honor of the singer’s 90th birthday being celebrated at Keep Memory Alive’s “Power of Love” gala to benefit the Lou Ruvo Center on May 21 at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Tunney has titled the painting ”The Good Life,” and it will be up for auction.
