Sherri Shepherd
Entertainer back on stand-up stage Diabetes nearly derailed Sherri Shepherd’s career, but after a lifestyle overhaul and a change in her relationship to food—depicted in her 2013 bestseller Plan D: How to Lose Weight and Beat Diabetes—the former co-host of The View and sitcom star (Everybody Loves Raymond, 30 Rock) is directing her renewed energy into a plethora of projects and a return to stand-up shows such as her May 21 date at The Venetian as part of the Lipshtick series of femme fatale comedians. Shepherd recently spoke to Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen about upcoming projects and having success in many mediums. I was just watching an early set of yours from BET. You were talking about getting propositioned at a women’s festival: “I’ll take care of you, I’ll take care of you. I’ve got $400,000.” You were like, “No, I’m really not … did you say $400,000?” (Laughs) Oh, gosh. That was back in my early days. Oh my goodness! That’s so funny. Where are you calling from? New Jersey? I am in New Jersey. I just actually flew back in town because I was in L.A. filming a pilot for NBC with John Lithgow. What’s it about? It’s called The Trail, and John Lithgow is accused of murdering his wife, but he’s in this weird town where everybody’s crazy. It’s like The Office, but very dark. Very, very dark comedy, and I’m on his defense team. I suffer from facial blindness. I have no tear ducts. I have short-term memory loss. I have inappropriate responses to situations and I’m dyslexic, and I am part of his legal team. That sounds challenging. It is challenging, but I love the creativity. I’m just really excited to be doing it. I finished up that
24 5.15.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
with Lithgow, and then I’ve got a recurring role on Rosewood with Morris Chestnut. I play a medical examiner, so I was simultaneously doing that. And then I leave in a couple of days to promote my film, which is in a film festival. It’s called Jean of the Joneses. It’s my first dramatic lead. Did you just promote that at the Atlanta Film Festival, or are you about to? It was at the Atlanta Film Festival, so it’s about to come to the New York Film Festival. It’s another dark comedy about a family of second-generation Jamaican women. I play one of the sisters, and Taylour Paige, who is one of the stars on Hit the Floor on VH-1, plays my daughter. I’m very emotionally distant from her, and we have to find our way back to getting to know each other. It is also a dark comedy. Everybody got to laugh except me. Is Jean of the Joneses filmmaker Stella Meghie of Jamaican descent? Yeah, she’s Jamaican but she lives in Toronto. It was at SXSW. It got accepted there, and it’s going to the L.A. film festival so I’m really excited! And I’m doing something else. I’m executive producing a show, a black Bachelor, on WE tv.
They’re running the trailer now, and it’s coming out in May. It’s like a black The Bachelor? Yeah, because I’ve always been very vocal on The View. Elisabeth Hasselbeck always loved The Bachelor—I was very vocal about the fact that they didn’t have a bachelor of color. They never did, so when this show Match Made
in Heaven came to me for their second season and asked me to executive produce, I put my money where my mouth is and I said, “Heck yeah!” So I’m very excited. I had so much fun with this guy. He’s a retired pro footballer, and we had 18 women vying for his attention and wanting to get married. I had to use all my comedic skills.

Few things make you feel better than shopping—except, of course, a free meal. And for a limited time you can check both off your list at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort. From now throughout the summer months, customers who spend at least $200 will receive $20, good at any of the shopping center’s participating restaurants, including Ketchup Premium Burger Bar, La Salsa Cantina, PBR Rock Bar & Grill, Blondies Sports Bar & Grill, Lombardi’s Romagna Mia and Pampas Churrascaria Brazilian Grille. For more information, visit the customer service desk at the center or go to miraclemileshopslv.com.
Can’t Get Much Fresher
If you aren’t all about fish from the freezer, you’ll love what Strip House at Planet Hollywood Resort has for you now. The popular steakhouse recently introduced its sustainable Dock-to-Dish seafood program, where the fish on your plate has literally been caught only hours before. The fish are line-caught in the Pacific no more than 16 hours earlier than serving, with prime selections shipped from the Honolulu Fish Company to Strip House. You might find monchong (pomfret), ono and opah, among others—the nightly specials change depending on what is the best that particular day. Call 702.737.5200 for reservations.

1,923 people and 50 tables. When Elvis Presley played the International Hotel in Las Vegas in 1970, it wasn’t the only comeback: Jerry Lee Lewis also performed there that year, recording a hit album, Live at the International, Las Vegas, in the process. Las Vegas’ new City Hall, which opened in 2012, is a model of green technology, featuring dozens of solar trees and rooftop solar panels. Talk about humble beginnings: Las Vegas, when founded as a city in 1905, amounted to 110 total acres.

National Burger Month means sizzling specials, fan favorites You’re in Vegas and May is National Burger Month—that’s perfect, because Vegas’ interpretations of the American staple range from straight-forward to over-the-top deliciousness. So, let’s build this: At Pub 1842 in MGM Grand, $32 gets you The Beast—Swiss cheese, onion rings, bacon and two black Angus patties, plus 33 ounces of Pilsner Urquell. Rí Rá at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place fires up a Guinness barbecue burger for $13, with cheddar, onion rings and a house-made sauce. American Kobe takes the spotlight in the annual Burgerfest at Morels Steakhouse & Bistro at The Palazzo, with beer and burger pairings during lunch. The special creations include the Cinco de Mayo, stuffed with cabbage, avocado, queso fresco, chipotle mayo and pico de gallo, for $19, which includes a pairing of Portland’s Upright Six. Hard Rock Café, on the Strip and at Hard Rock Hotel, has a menu in May/June featuring submissions from all over, including Vegas’ Atomic Burger, with beer-battered peppers, pepper jack, chipotle mayo and garlic chipotle ketchup, for $18. In Gordon Ramsay BurGR at Planet Hollywood Resort, grab a Hog Burger, $18, or the Earth Burger—a portobello delight for $16. The choices seem unlimited—other Vegas burger places include Tom’s Urban at New York-New York, Planet Hollywood in The Forum Shops at Caesars, Bobby’s Burger Palace at The Shops at Crystals and the new LVB Burgers & Bar at The Mirage. And that’s only a few—wherever you choose, you know you won’t go hungry. –Nina King

Refining the Rock Over the years, industrial-rock band Filter and frontman Richard Patrick have been one and the same, with Patrick the only constant member since the band’s founding in 1993. With original collaborator Brian Liesegang, Patrick recorded Filter’s debut album, including hit single “Hey Man Nice Shot,” which became one of the seminal songs of ’90s alt-rock. After parting ways with Liesegang, Patrick kept Filter going with further hits like “(Can’t You) Trip Like I Do” and massively popular ballad “Take a Picture.” The most recent Filter album is Crazy Eyes, featuring Patrick along with an entirely new lineup of the band, plus contributions from past Filter collaborators Ben Grosse, Jonathan Radtke and Danny Lohner, with whom Patrick played in Nine Inch Nails. All Music said the album “manages to tread new ground for Filter while respectfully acknowledging the sound that propelled the band in the first place.” Patrick’s collaborators may come and go, but he keeps Filter focused on heavy rock with an electronic edge and a lyrical conscience. –Josh Bell

The Ups and Downs of Fame 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

Delicious by Design Located at the top of the Palms Fantasy tower, Nove Italiano commands excellent views of the Strip and Las Vegas’ glittering lights. A sleek lounge provides a fab place to mix and mingle, while taking in that view. The 14-ounce New York strip steak makes a fine entrée. Get it plain, or explore one of three other options, such as al forno-style, where the tender beef comes with garlic, Parmigiano and ravioli. Side dishes include Death by Potatoes, tagged with “at your own risk” on the menu, served with a huge amount of mascarpone.
Spring is half gone, so make it a point to dive into some of Nove Italiano’s seasonal dishes like the Tuscan quinoa and sautéed shrimp, warm spinach salad, pappardelle pasta with mussels and seasonal mushrooms, the 32-ounce Bistecca alla Fiorentina for two or pan-seared Alaskan cod, all available through May 31. For sweet endings, try the petit fours, a selection of delicious mini desserts, from cannolli to macaroons. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Palms, 5:30-10 p.m. Tues.-Thurs., 5:3011 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.942.6800
50 Shades of Pink Spring brings thoughts of flowers and frolic and, at Four Seasons, “garden-to-glass” cocktails. A fetching shade, the 50 Shades of Pink features watermelon-infused Stolichnaya Elit, rosewater, lemon and simple syrup for $16. It’s garnished with rose petals and is only available at Four Seasons Press, an indoor-outdoor bar. Bartenders at the hotel created two cocktails as entries into a companywide contest. And although they can make it anytime they want, you can only get it through June.

Beneath the Surface
Dive into adventure with the sea’s creatures When you came to Las Vegas, did you expect it to look a little bit like Burma? At Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, you might forget that you’re on the Strip when surrounded by the eeriness of moss and branches reclaiming ancient stone ruins or a shipwreck, now occupied by sharks and rays, resting beneath the surface. Shark Reef is, first and foremost, an educational and conservational endeavor. With 14 exhibits, the facility provides an immersive experience for viewing and learning about more than 2,000 individual animals. A glass tunnel passing through a 144,000-gallon saltwater exhibit puts you close to butterflyfish, angelfish and sharks, without scuba certification and chainmail. A nearby column of glowing moon jellyfish is a
32 5.15.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
popular spot for photos. The aquarium’s deepest and most immersive level houses the Shark Reef’s 1.3 million-gallon main attraction. You’ll find yourself within a shipwreck, with all manner of sharks, sea turtles, sawfish and other species swimming above, beside and even below. The Sea Monsters Revealed exhibit, which opened at the Aquarium last year, features animals preserved in a process called polymer plastination. That allows people to discover the anatomy of species like the whale shark, mako shark and sunfish, and individual organs of tropical fish, crustaceans and octopuses. The selfguided tour, where you can learn the anatomy of the ocean’s inhabitants, is quite the scholastic experience. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Seasons in the Sun Let your pride shine poolside as Temptation Sundays kicks off a new season at Luxor on May 15. NakedBoyNews.com’s J. Son once again hosts the LGBTQ-friendly pool party—the first of its kind on the Las Vegas Strip when it kicked off six seasons ago. Opening day welcomes DJ Cutt, and throughout the season a rotating lineup of DJs take over, including DJ Robbie Rob during Memorial Day Weekend. Every Sunday guests are welcome to indulge in roomy cabanas, poolside daybeds with umbrellas and more upscale lounge chairs. Have your drinks brought to you by servers around the pool area, or visit the bar or stationary beer carts setup throughout the venue. Throughout the summer Temptation also puts on special celebrations like the Las Vegas PRIDE party on Aug. 7 with DJ Matt and a fashion show on Aug. 21 with DJ Morningstar. Every Sunday, no matter what their sexual orientation is, partiers gather poolside to celebrate the season, with no judgments, just the common goal of having some memorable fun under the desert sun. –Kiko Miyasato

Flavors of the Sea Going Through the Changes 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 chart-toppers by Aretha Franklin (“Change,
34 5.15.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
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,” but they sure take on whole other meanings in this entertaining show. –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
Restaurant seating at Chart House at Golden Nugget centers around an enormous, 75,000gallon, floor-to-ceiling saltwater aquarium. The flurry of activity from the 75 types of tropical fish makes for a spectacle unlike any other in Las Vegas. Begin your meal with the crab, avocado and mango stack. The brightly colored, layered presentation provides varying textures and flavors. The menu highlights seafood entrées such as macadamia-crusted mahi with a warm peanut sauce and mango relish. –Jim Begley Golden Nugget, 11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Sun., 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Mon.-Thurs., 11:30 a.m.11:30 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.386.8364 Temptation Sundays photo by Christopher DeVargas Chart House photo by Steve Marcus

Stories of the Surreal What’s life without a little mystery, right? So while you’re in Las Vegas, what’s your stay without a little Mystère? Debuting in 1993 as Cirque du Soleil’s initial foray onto the Strip, Mystère is an acrobatic buffet served up on a revolving stage inside a custom-built theater. Set to a surreal story with exotic, metaphorical characters in elaborate, otherworldly costumes—you’ll meet the Red Bird, the Black Widow, Birds of Prey and La Belle, among other fanciful creatures—Mystère features distinctive acts. One aerialist performs within a giant metal cube both on the ground and while
airborne. Another flips, spins and twists on a vertical strip of fabric that appears to stretch into infinity while suspended above the stage. Bungee jumpers bounce and swing as they scrape the ceiling, gymnasts turn a trampoline into an artistic canvas, and Japanese taiko drummers pound out thunderous, infectious rhythms. It’s all very hypnotic. Then, of course, there’s the large baby that frequently appears, in addition to a massive snail toward the end. What does it all mean? Not all mysteries should be solved. Some should simply be experienced. –Steve Bornfeld
Eat. Drink. Love. That’s the motto at Crush (MGM Grand, 702.891.3222). Choose from crispy rock shrimp, half-roasted chicken or Australian lamb rack from the food menu and Strawberry Pixie, Passionfruit Pucker or the signature Punch, Drunk, Love cocktail off the drink menu.

The word “selfie” was coined in the early 2000s, way before Facebook and Instagram came into play. It was eventually named “Word of the Year” by the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013. New York City-based electronic house duo The Chainsmokers (Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall) soon capitalized with the release of their catchy single “#Selfie,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Songs chart in 2014. Since then, they’ve released many other hits, including “New York City,” “Waterbed” and “Roses.” Put on your best outfit and take as many selfies as you wish while enjoying The Chainsmokers on May 21 at Jewel, Aria’s new nightlife hot spot. In addition to The Chainsmokers, Jewel has a slew of other acts to christen the luxurious venue this weekend, including Jamie Foxx on May 19 and Lil Jon on May 23. –Chanelle Hayes Aria, opens at 10 p.m. May 21, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.590.8000

Although cigar bars have long been a sought-after destination, presently they’re enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Las Vegas has met the demand with the recent opening of Montecristo Cigar Bar at Caesars Palace. Divided into four areas, Montecristo offers guests small bites, specialty cocktails and fine whiskeys. Take a seat at the Signature Bar or relax in The Library or The Courtyard, and for larger groups looking to splurge, reserve the 10-seat Vault Room. Guests can breathe easy with Montecristo’s state-of-the-art ventilation system that ensures the 4,000-square-foot space doesn’t get too overwhelmed. In the Library, relax while enjoying sports on the large video wall made up of nine screens; or take a seat at the bar to play some video poker. Before leaving pay a visit to the 400-square-foot walk-in humidor that can store up to 1,000 brands, including Romeo Y Julieta, H. Upmann, Padron and Montecristo. And, what goes better with a cigar than whiskey or cognac? Enjoy a pour of Louis XIII served tableside in a crystal Riedel glass. –Kiko Miyasato

Different View With more and more people visiting Las Vegas every year, parking is always a consideration. Luckily there’s a low-cost option that will take all the parking headaches away: The Las Vegas Monorail, serving the Strip for almost 10 years. Cars stop every four to eight minutes at seven different stops—SLS Las Vegas, Westgate, Las Vegas Convention Center, Harrah’s/The Linq, Flamingo, Bally’s/Paris and MGM Grand. There’s plenty of room
38 5.15.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
for everyone; the Monorail consists of nine trains, each with four cars; each car seats 72 passengers, with standing room for 150. If you’re worried about being late, consider this: Even if you took the Monorail from one end to the other—almost four miles—it would take only 15 minutes. Another added benefit? You’ve never seen Vegas like this before. At 30 to 60 feet above the ground depending on location, the Monorail offers some truly unique vistas. –Ken Miller
Sweet Sounds Prepare yourself for some truly beautiful music at Cabrera Conducts Tchaikovsky, the latest performance of the Las Vegas Philharmonic under the direction of Donato Cabrera. D.J.

Joy in the Music “All the music we have picked is melodic, and we look for the magic,” said Three Dog Night founder and lead vocalist Danny Hutton recently. He took time out from a hectic touring schedule to chat a little about the band’s four decades of success and how they accrued 21 consecutive top 40 hits. The band’s incredible history of hits has appeared on best-selling charts in pop, rock and country genres. And happily, that’s what you’ll hear during Three Dog night’s concert at The Orleans. “Our songs are all about emotions, or party songs. We are not political and we don’t preach,” he said. Choruses are important to the music, he explained, and
added that even if you didn’t understand English, you would still like the music. “If you like our records, that’s what you’ll hear,” commented Hutton, who believes fans come out to hear the hits. He jokes that if audiences don’t hear the songs they expect, you would see some people leaving to take a bathroom break! Unlikely that will happen as the band performs their No. 1 songs “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” “Joy to the World” and “Black and White,” not to mention dozens of other memorable hits. –Penny Levin The Orleans, 8 p.m. May 21-22, starting at $44.95 plus tax and fee. 702.284.7777
Sassy and Sultry There’s something about half-naked women dancing to rock music that hypnotizes audiences—leaving the masses, as Billy Idol once sang, wanting “more, more, more!” Well, at the Rio, you can get your fill. “X” Rocks is a music romp, where classic songs provide the soundtrack for sexy dancers. The synchronized moves make up vignettes that include a trip to the psychedelic era, where ladies groove to Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze” and The Beatles’ “Come Together.” Poison’s ballad “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” slows things down but gets hearts racing as the women linger topless on a bed of roses. –Kiko Miyasato Rio, 10 p.m. Thurs.-Sun., starting at $59.50 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.777.7776

Poolside Pleasures
Rooftop getaway gives you fresh options for summer When most people think of the word “citrus,” fruits like oranges, lemons, grapefruits and limes come to mind. And at Citrus at the Grand Pool Deck at Downtown Grand, you’ll feel that vibe, with bright yellow, orange and green décor, organic herb gardens, trees and foliage throughout the 35,000-square-foot rooftop complex. The main attraction is an infinity pool in the center of the space, surrounded by chaise lounge chairs, secluded cabanas and plush grass seating areas. The pool deck also offers plenty of drinking, dining and entertainment options.

There are also plenty of draft beers, wines and rum, vodka and tequila bottle service options, as well as fresh-squeezed spiked lemonade to savor. While sipping on your beverage under the shaded patio area near the bar or poolside, why not try some of the light fare offered on the food menu? There’s something for everyone with chilled crab and egg salad sandwiches, cucumber, tomato, watermelon and feta cheese salad with tangerine vinaigrette, beef and chicken sliders, chicken wings (go traditional or spice it up
with the Thai sweet chili options), beef, chicken and vegetable skewers, ceviche tostadas, sandwich wraps and shrimp fritters served with garlic citrus aioli. Take advantage of the fruit offerings like the minted frozen citrus, watermelon (available by the wedge, half or full-sized) or frozen grapes. Get to Citrus early for happy hour from 4-7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Happy hour by the pool. What could be better? Tucked away in the corner near the side of the bar are classic games that we all know and love like table tennis, foosball and cornhole, if you want to take a break from swimming for a while. On select weekends, Citrus features live concerts and DJs, turning a pool day into a nighttime party central. –Chanelle Hayes

Lovely Italian dishes complement gorgeous views at Lago by Julian Serrano Seldom has the noon meal been this pleasant—a gorgeous patio and a lakeside vista. What more could you ask? Perhaps a lovely chandelier overhead, a tasty cocktail and excellent food on the plate. At Julian Serrano’s Italian restaurant Lago in Bellagio, you have it all. If you can’t score a patio table, no worries, Lago’s dining area still has gorgeous views of the lake and the Strip through huge windows, perfect for a leisurely repast. (And if you can’t make lunch, reserve a table for dinner—the fountain shows are spectacular from here.) Start with that beverage—perhaps a Rosso Bellini will bring you joy.

For VP of entertainment, it’s all about the music Metallica performing New Year’s Eve, 2003. Aerosmith, No Doubt, Kiss, The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, The Who, Santana ... the list goes on. Chas Smith, vice president of entertainment at Hard Rock Hotel, has booked (and seen) more than 1,300 concerts inside The Joint, in addition to producing and developing each show from start to finish. “What I do is just pure excitement if you ask me,” Smith said. “There’s nothing better than coming in here, seeing a packed show, seeing everyone rocking out to their favorite band. That’s when I like to sit back and take it all in.” Smith has worked hard to get to this moment, to his current position. “Yup, I worked my way up the ladder for 16 years, starting out as

an on-call stage hand at The Joint,” he said. His duties constitute a heavy workload, sure, but Smith’s passion for music and putting on concerts makes everything seem effortless. “I couldn’t imagine doing anything else,” he said. “This is a livelihood. I live, breathe this. … Still to this day, I love coming to work every day.” And when Smith is on the clock, he’s going 100 mph. “We do our best to keep our hand on the pulse,” he said. “I keep that motto inside me every day.” And the results have been successful, as The Joint has managed to book some of the biggest names in music for residency shows, a trend that other properties have followed. “We make sure we’re setting the pace, staying ahead of the curve.” –Kiko Miyasato
The Scorpions are on an extended run at The Joint, and a cocktail was created in the band’s honor. The Voodoo Hurricane uses three Cruzan rums, Black Strap, 151 Proof and White, and mixes them together with pineapple and orange juices and grenadine. Smith is especially psyched about the rock band’s run—one of the first albums he ever bought was the Scorpions’ World Wide Live. “They’re just amazing artists and great, great people,” he said. “They really enjoy what they do and you can tell.” Catch the band, along with fellow rockers Queensrÿche, as they bring their run to a close this week with three final shows, May 18 & 20-21. –KM

A blend of classic and contemporary makes up the stylish Lux Penthouse at SLS Las Vegas
By Kiko Miyasato Photography by Christopher devargas
It’s vintage meets modern, and it’s all distinctly chic inside the Lux Penthouse at SLS Las Vegas. The 2,382-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath accommodations are a treat for the eyes, with design touches that exude a Vegas cool—a nod back to the days of the Sahara, which previously occupied the grounds for almost 60 years. But with the newly built SLS rising like a phoenix from the ashes, the cherry on top is the Lux Penthouse. Guests can delight in a long stretch of balcony off the living space that overlooks the city and mountains and a second outdoor space off the master bedroom, perfect for lounging with friends. Upon entering the penthouse, be amazed by the mirrored hexagonal chandelier in the entryway, leading the eyes then to the grand piano. With the interior design headed up by rocker Lenny Kravitz, the Lux Penthouse is a playful and marvelous showcase of colors and fabrics, wallpapering and lighting accents, all pulled together with statement furniture and novel art pieces.

That New Orleans R&B Sound
It’s been nearly 50 years since Aaron Neville (Golden Nugget, 866.946.5336) had his first hit single, and the R&B star shows no signs of slowing down. As both a solo artist and as part of the Neville Brothers (with his brothers Art, Charles and Cyril), Neville has been a standardbearer for R&B since the 1960s, as well as a musical icon of his hometown of New Orleans.
“Tell It Like It Is,” that first hit from 1966 (which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard singles charts) has been named one of the greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone and covered by artists ranging from Heart (who had a hit with it in 1980) to Nina Simone. Neville’s other hits as a solo artist include “Everybody Plays the Fool,” “The Grand Tour”
Entertainment Dining Nightlife Gaming Shopping Attractions Marketplace Resources Out & About
and two duets with Linda Ronstadt, “Don’t Know Much” and “All My Life.” Neville’s most recent album, 2013’s My True Story, produced by Don Was and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, pays homage to the doo-wop songs that influenced Neville as a youth. As a musical legend, Neville both honors the legacy of R&B and is an integral part of it himself. –Josh Bell

Who-What-Where International soccer star David Beckham attended a news conference in Las Vegas promoting the Sheldon Adelsonsponsored Las Vegas Dome stadium Beckham wants to build as a 60,000seat attraction to lure the Oakland Raiders
here. Beckham said the stadium would also be perfect for soccer and other sports, in addition to NFL games. Members of the Australian band Sheppard and Australian magician Pip were spotted attending Absinthe at Caesars
Palace. Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett enjoyed Elton John’s Million Dollar Piano at Caesars Palace. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer donned a faux fur coat at Minus5 Ice Bar at The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay.
Spears to be recognized Pop princess Britney Spears will perform at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards airing live simultaneously on ABC from our new T-Mobile Arena on May 22. The Planet Hollywood Resort headliner, who revolutionized the popmusic scene on the Strip with her hit residency Britney: Piece of Me, will also be honored with the Millennium Award. Spears wins the award to recognize her “career achievements and influence in the music industry.” The magazine and weekly sales tracking source notes that Spears has won six Billboard Music Awards, with six albums debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and 24 Top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, five of which went to No. 1.

Britney Spears impersonator Derrick Barry was voted off RuPaul’s Drag Race a few episodes short of the finale. The Vegas resident explained he was confused that producers booked him as Spears’ doppelganger but didn’t want him to impersonate the Planet Hollywood Resort headliner. Still, “RuPaul took me from a Las Vegas name to an international star with the show,” Barry told me. Our 2014 Miss Nevada Pageant queen Ellie Smith of Henderson has landed a one-year contract from Disney to play the three lead roles of Ariel, Snow White and Rapunzel in the company’s Dream Boat Cruise Musical Spectacular sailing from Orlando, Fla. She leaves for rehearsals in Toronto in June, then it’s away on the high seas of Florida until next March. Congratulations, Ellie! Caesars Palace headliner Celine Dion will receive the prestigious Icon Award at this year’s Billboard Awards at the T-Mobile Arena on May 22. Dion, one of Las Vegas’ most successful performers, will perform Queen’s “The Show Must Go On” during the broadcast. “I think at this moment in her life, the song has many meanings and it’s an amazing choice,” said executive producer Mark Bracco.
