From the Editor Slice of life
Sometimes I feel like I have one of the best jobs in town. Not only do I get the pleasure and privilege of sharing with our readers some of the best entertainment options in the world, I also get to enjoy it myself. As a member of the media, I attend many grand openings, anniversary performances, special engagements and attractions. After all, if I’m going to give you an accurate description of what you’ll experience out there, I have to experience it myself. Take last month, for example: I drove a McLaren and a Ferrari at Exotics Racing and Dream Racing, respectively; operated an excavator at Dig This; attended the openings of shows by Wayne Newton, Frankie Moreno and Paul Zerdin; helped “X” Burlesque celebrate its 14th anniversary; dined at The Steakhouse at Circus Circus and sampled the three-course business lunch at RM Seafood at Mandalay Bay; toured the soon-to-open Marvel’s Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. at Treasure Island; and hit some golf balls (sometimes successfully) at the grand opening of Topgolf at MGM Grand. Yeah, life can be pretty rough sometimes. Every event I attend is a reminder of why more than 42 million people flock here every year— there’s just so much to do, and so many reasons to return. Las Vegas is one of the few places on Earth where an itinerary is pretty much unnecessary. Just exit your hotel room door, pick a direction and head to your entertainment of choice. Hey, maybe I’ll see you there!

Bill Medley
Legendary singer enjoying Harrah’s residency No one, especially Bill Medley, thought the late Bobby Hatfield could be replaced in the Righteous Brothers after the first tenor’s death in 2003, eight months after the duo was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Later, Medley realized he could pay tribute to Hatfield with friend Bucky Heard taking the high harmonies. The latest chapter in the history of the voices behind “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” commenced with a Harrah’s residency that was just extended. Medley spoke recently with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen. When I first heard about this, I remember thinking that you had to wait at least this long before you could do a show like this. Yeah, I was asked to do this a few years ago and I just didn’t feel that it was right, and I really never ran into the right guy to replace, to fill in for Bobby. But, yeah, after … I think now it’s going on 14 years or something like that, it feels right... Bucky Heard, the guy that’s my new partner, is just a wonderful guy who I’m very comfortable to work with, a lot of fun to be with.
What do you see in the faces of the audience when he sings Bobby’s parts? Well, he doesn’t sing “Unchained Melody.” I do “Unchained Melody” as a tribute to Bobby but he does do “Ebb Tide” and they just love him. They accept him from the first song, which I was pretty surprised with. But they are really accepting, a lot (laughs).
With the first run behind you, how do you feel about the Righteous Brothers’ revival? Actually it’s been a lot of fun. It’s great fun to do the songs, all the songs going back to ’63, ’62 and on up. We’ve got a great, great band. They’re all local, except my daughter is singing background, and my musical director. I’m just thrilled to death with it.
Did the experience of writing your book (The Time of My Life: A Righteous Brother’s Memoir, 2014) prepare you for storytelling on the stage? Yeah, the book opened up my mind to a lot of things. I really was going to come over to Harrah’s to do a Bill Medley show that was pretty much storytelling. I played the piano a little and sang the songs, but more of a storytelling thing. This show is... a musical tribute to Bobby and the music that we made.
Do you think this would have worked if the idea had struck you to work with Bucky Heard in 2008? Do you still think you’d have had to wait? Yeah, I do. Bucky really ended up being my partner because he was a friend of mine for years, and it was really important to me that we really got along well.
You played at the Sands early on. The Righteous Brothers looked relatively clean-cut despite the frenzy going on behind “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.” Did that image help you get into Vegas? Well, I think it was a combination of a lot of things. When we came to Vegas in ’65 to ’66 we came
24 6.5.15 LasVegasMagazine.com
to the Sands with Frank Sinatra, and I think Bobby and I were just a little older, and more influenced by a lot of older guys—Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis. That was kind of our upbringing. We loved Jack Benny (laughs). I think Sinatra and all those people saw that there was something more than being in a garage band. We sounded like we were from prison or something the way we sang (laughs), but we were clean-cut and our show had humor in it. I think we cut our teeth on performers, so I think it made a big difference.
In a few short years, you went from playing with your friends to meeting Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley backstage. It’s pretty crazy when you think of it in that context. It’s very hard to wrap your head around, and it’s real interesting ’cause when I did write the book, a lot of that stuff, I found myself scratching my head and saying, “Good God, did I … did we really do that?” You know, you’re so busy just doing it that you don’t realize what’s happening to you. It’s quite remarkable.

To Eat, to Live
It’s here! And we’re cheering! The 10th Anniversary of Las Vegas Restaurant Week brings some of the best restaurants in Las Vegas to the table, and benefits Three Square Food Bank. Restaurants up and down the Strip and all over town offer prix-fixe menus at just $20-$80. Just a few possibilities: Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, The Barrymore, Gilley’s, Alizé, Bazaar Meat, B&B Ristorante, Brand Steakhouse, Chayo Mexican Kitchen, DB Brasserie, Double Barrel, Ferraro’s, Mesa Grill, Pizza Rock, Rao’s and Triple George Grill. At Restaurant Week’s helpoutdineoutlv.org website, salivate over the menus of more than 120 restaurants and make reservations. It’s a bargain for sure—and a bargain that does a lot of good.
It’s a Party
Grab a drink, have a few bites and check out some music at Heritage Park, 900 Las Vegas Blvd. N., on June 10 from 6-10 p.m., where Sundown in Downtown celebrates the Las Vegas Natural History Museum’s 25th anniversary. Such local food favorites as Imperial Tacos & Beer, Big Ern’s BBQ, Rachel’s Kitchen, F. Pigalle and Triple George Grill offer up eats, while a beer garden provides an easy place to relax—and proceeds benefit the museum. Tickets are $35 for unlimited fare from food vendors, and two drink tickets (additional drink tickets are $5); VIP tickets start at $55, including unlimited drinks. You must be 21-plus to attend the celebration. Go to lvnhm.org for tickets.

Wanya Morris, who performs with Boyz II Men at The Mirage, isn’t the only Strip performer to compete on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Donny Osmond, who performs at Flamingo, won first place in season 9. The Flamingo, which opened in 1946 at a cost of $6 million, will receive a $100 million makeover starting later this year in preparation for its 75th anniversary celebration in 2021. The Linq’s High Roller observation wheel is easily visible at night, and for good reason: It contains 2,000 LEDs. Jersey Boys at Paris is hardly the first Broadway smash to make its way to Las Vegas. Past productions have included Mamma Mia, The Producers, Avenue Q, Spamalot and The Lion King.
One question
Frankie Moreno What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome to become the person you wanted to be—and how did you do it? Being in the entertainment business, I deal with obstacles every day. They are all easily overcome simply by staying focused. On a personal level, I have been very lucky. I’ve never had something get in the way of my career. I guess I kind of set my life up that way. I’ve always known what I wanted to do for a living. I’ve always made sure to surround myself with the most positive situations and people that I possibly could. Of course, now and then, a wrench gets thrown into the machine and you have to deal with it. I guess the biggest obstacle that I’ve had to overcome is just learning who I was exactly on a personal level. I knew the career I wanted, but I’ve changed so much over the years. Sometimes finding out who you are hurts others around you because they wanted you to be someone else. I’ve always been one to try to please everyone around me. I think I’ve finally come to a point in my life that I feel like I have a good grasp of who I am and who I want to be as a person. I use my time and energy now focusing back on my music, which is what I know best. Frankie Moreno performs in Under the Influence at Planet Hollywood Resort at 9 p.m. Tues.-Sun.

That Musical Legacy The Preservation Hall Jazz Band is more of an institution than any particular group of people. Like a symphony orchestra or a dance troupe, the Band features a rotating talent lineup representing a long-running cultural brand, serving as ambassadors of a specific location and artistic vision. In this case, that means the actual Preservation Hall, a New Orleans music venue opened in 1961 with the purpose of promoting and, well, preserving New Orleans jazz as an art form. The Band is Preservation Hall’s outreach arm, featuring some of the most accomplished jazz musicians the city has. Over the years, dozens of musicians have played in the Band, and the current lineup is led by Ben Jaffe, son of New Orleans jazz legends Allan and Sandra Jaffe, who founded both Preservation Hall and the Jazz Band. The younger Jaffe plays tuba and double bass and serves as the creative director of Preservation Hall itself. Jaffe and the rest of the band members bring decades of New Orleans jazz pedigree to their work as a living, touring embodiment of the city’s musical legacy. –Josh Bell

Get the Floor Moving Vegas on a String Perhaps you require an introduction to the classic Vegas aesthetic. Then you require an introduction to Matt Goss, who radiates it from every velvet-voiced note. Goss—who gained fame with the British boy band Bros—cultivates his next-gen Frank Sinatra persona with a ring-a-dingding singing style infused with a unique charm and swagger (dig the cocked hat to match the rakish voice), Goss uncannily recalls the Chairman of the Board.
28 6.5.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
Backed by a nine-piece band (highlighted by a horn section) and a cast of sensual female dancers known as the Dirty Virgins (maybe that part isn’t quite Sinatra-esque), Goss updates Ol’ Blue Eyes standards such as popular picks “Luck Be a Lady” and “I’ve Got the World on a String.” While honoring that artistry, Goss also brings a smoothas-brandy gloss to later hits including the Eagles’ “Hotel California” and Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” –Steve Bornfeld
Twerking isn’t all that new. Atlanta-based duo Ying Yang Twins (Kaine and D-Roc), whose music is a Southern hip-hop subgenre called crunk, mentions it in their breakout hit “Whistle While You Twurk” in 2000. They also wrote Lil Jon’s 2003 chart-topper “Get Low,” which they’re featured on, and released more bangers like “Salt Shaker,” featuring Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, and “Wait (The Whisper Song).” It’ll be a nonstop dance fest when the Twins hit the stage at Foxtail for the club’s installment of Backspin Sundays. –Chanelle Hayes SLS Las Vegas, 10:30 p.m. June 12, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.761.7619

Dream Girls 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 of doing her own thing outside of Vegas. 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. Seductive 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 in fast and slow numbers 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

Off-Kilter Comedy You might not think he stands out in a crowd— just another green (with bursts of red and gold), grumpy, scaly creature walking his Chihuahua on the Strip. And yet …“There’s nothing women in Las Vegas love more than a magic dragon,” says John van der Put—Piff the Magic Dragon to you—as Angela Stabile, co-producer of his Flamingo gig, can affirm. “He gets proposals all the time,” she says with a touch of amazement. Piff clarifies: “It’s the joy I exude.” Anyone who’s seen the London-born, dragon-costumed comedian/magician knows
his personality is built on a foundation of dour, deadpan ’tude. “Here, hold him,” he tells an audience member as he hands over his sidekick, a Chihuahua named Mr. Piffles. “If he gives you trouble, just punch him in the face.” Over the course of his show Piff the Magic Dragon blends crowd riffing, zingers and audience-assisted magic into a truly weird entertainment brew. –Steve Bornfeld Flamingo, 8 p.m. Mon.-Wed., $49.95-$69.95 plus tax and fee, 18+ 702.733.3333
Maine Lobster Louie Cups Topgolf at MGM Grand isn’t just a revelation in entertainment (golfing, nightlife, live music and more), it’s also got a wideranging menu. While you’re sipping on a Manhattan or margarita, make sure to enjoy some Maine lobster Louie cups—easy to eat delectables consisting of Maine lobster, heirloom cherry tomatoes, Louie dressing and crunchy kataifi, all wrapped up on a bed of butter lettuce. Now remember, when taking turns perfecting your golf swing, make sure to save some for everyone else!

Grand Canyon tours make visiting natural wonder easy It’s on your bucket list, for sure. The deep chasms and colors of The Grand Canyon have called to visitors for over a hundred years—and now it’s your turn. If you can’t spend a week exploring the national park, then take just one day. Gray Line Tours offers several types of excursions to the canyon from Vegas, all in a day. And it’s easier than you think: You’ll be picked up at your hotel in the morning and dropped off that night, a day of chilling out in luxury in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van (for the deluxe South Rim tour), watching videos and checking out the scenery as someone else does the driving. As you get close to the South Rim, you’ll hear some of the history of the area and take in beautiful scenery—keep your eyes open for

wildlife as you approach and travel through the park. After lunch in the National Geographic visitors center (and a viewing of an iMax film, if so desired), you’ll continue to the park for about an hour’s stop, perhaps at the Yavapai Geology Museum, where you can view the canyon in glass-enclosed comfort, or wander along the canyon’s edge for more views. Soon, you’ll be transported to the village, where you can catch exquisite views of the canyon and train depot, get drinks and snacks, wander the rim trail for a bit and shop for souvenirs. At Bright Angel Lodge, there’s even a history room with artifacts and exhibits. Then it’s time to hit the road again for the trip back—hey, where did the day go? –Nina King

This man can take a punch—particularly when he’s the one throwing it. Inside a boxing ring, that would cause one wackadoodle sports injury. Outside the ring, it’s called being able to laugh at yourself. And letting us laugh along (without wanting to knock us into next year). Humility, humor, nostalgia and a raconteur’s knack for storytelling are all integral to Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, as are bursts of braggadocio. Iron Mike, after all, lays claim to being the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles, intimidating opponents with a ferocious fighting style that earned him entry into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011. Stretching from wretched memories (and a couple of sweet ones) from his Brooklyn childhood, criminal pursuits, boxing rise and the dark, destructive paths he traveled down in a violenceprone descent, Truth—written by his wife, Kiki—is ultimately a tale of uplift and redemption, culminating in his presence on the stage. –Steve Bornfeld

Rolling in the Hits Whip It, Whip It Good It’s really a tale of empowerment, isn’t it? A young woman on a journey of selfexploration, ready to set the world afire, or at least learn how to look hot in a dog collar. In 50 Shades The Parody, three book club members take on a popular racy novel. Join the ladies as they find Anastasia on college graduation day, lamenting a lack in her life that leaves her soooooo unfulfilled. But wait! It’s not long after meeting that she and her huge crush, Christian, sing and
34 6.5.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
dance and discard their pants. Christian has a few kinks in the bedroom, and works them out in his Red Room of Pain, with feather dusters, dog collars, whips and chains. He’d really like a friend to join him, a friend who’ll sign a massive contract detailing what can and cannot be done in the hallowed hall.

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 Mike Tyson photo by Christopher DeVargas 50 Shades The Parody photo by Matthew Murphy Raiding the Rock Vault photo by Raen Badua

A Long and Storied Career Melissa Manchester has one of the most enduring careers in the music industry and her tunes and talent have brought joy and many happy memories to millions of people. Nominated for a Grammy award for Best Pop Female Vocal Performance for her iconic “Don’t Cry Out Loud” song, she went on to win later for the song, “You Should Hear How She Talks About You.” In addition, her songs “Through the Eyes of Love” and “The Promise,” were nominated for Academy Awards in the same year.
While she is proud of her many accomplishments in the past, Manchester makes it clear in her online biography how proud she is of her most recent project, her selfproduced album You Gotta Love the Life. The album features a variety of music, and Manchester performs with legendary artists including Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Keb’ Mo’ and others. In her Golden Nugget appearance, fans can expect the songstress to perform many of her hits and also tunes from the new album. –Penny Levin
Pretty as a Picture Although Stratosphere’s female revue PIN UP has undergone minor changes since it opened, most conspicuously with Playboy’s 2011 Playmate of the Year Claire Sinclair adding pasties, the show has been so strong from the beginning that basic elements remain unchanged. And in the show based on pinup calenders of the past, the dancers and band perform with supreme confidence. “They work so hard,” says Sinclair. “The cast, the band, every night.” Sinclair’s favorite routine is her tassel twirl during “Bumps and Grinds.” –Matt Kelemen Stratosphere, 9:30 p.m. Thurs.-Mon., $54-$64 VIP plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.380.7777

At Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill (Harrah’s, 702.693.6111), entrée selections such as cowboy prime top sirloin steak and baby back ribs will make your decision difficult, but you can’t go wrong with the surf-and-turf deal-breaker barbecue rib-and-shrimp combo or the shrimp BLT po’boy. And a finale featuring bread pudding topped with bourbon ice cream and the establishment’s trademark fried Twinkies will make you glad you didn’t skip dessert. –MK
Take a Shot This is way more than a game. Topgolf (4627 Koval Lane, 702.933.8458), located right near MGM Grand, combines nightlife and daylife with aplomb.

But wait, there are two pools, five bars and a concert venue. (The Machine plays on June 10). Ready for fun? Hit it! –Nina King

The Need for Speed You start off relatively slow, and you wonder, “Is this as fast as I’m going to go?” Then you realize it’s just the computer-controlled speed as you’re slowly introduced to the course you’re about to race. Then, suddenly, you get full control of your vehicle, and the speed kicks in. And so does the adrenaline. Welcome to Pole Position Raceway, featuring 18-horsepower, battery-powered go karts that reach speeds of up to 45 mph. As you muscle your way around every hairpin turn—these karts do not have power steering, so this is a workout—you’re trying to achieve the fastest time possible. Don’t be surprised to find yourself at the end of the race, looking up at your time and thinking, “I can do much better than that!” It won’t be long before you’re inviting family and friends along to compete. The sweltering summer months are almost upon us, but you can still get your racing thrills in air-conditioned comfort. –Ken Miller

skills and even a bit of wizardly wonders. Wrapped in a parade of pomp and pageantry and equine elegance—plus a genuine round table for the knights’ lusty beer-stein toasting—it’s a vivid immersion into a fascinating era. And all that will be required of the audience is a knack for having some Huzzah!-screaming fun. –Steve Bornfeld Excalibur, 6 p.m. Mon. & Fri., 6 & 8:30 p.m. Wed.-Thurs. & Sat.-Sun., $75.36 dinner and show. 702.597.7600
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 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. Who doesn’t still love: “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.” –Chanelle Hayes Westgate Las Vegas, 7 p.m. Thurs.-Sun., $69-$99 VIP plus tax and fee, $129 meet and greet. 800.222.5361

Go With the Flow
Can you really hang ten in the desert? Absolutely! The first-ever of its kind in Las Vegas, the FlowRider Wave-in-a-Box Double adds excitement to the pool season at Planet Hollywood Resort. Whether you’re a professional or newbie, surf the machine-made waves bodyboard-style. Those familiar with skateboarding, snowboarding or wakeboarding should have it easy when it’s time to stand up on one of the flowboards (and for first-timers, it’s easy to get the hang of, so test your surfing skills, too). And, don’t worry about wiping out—the FlowRider provides a surface that absorbs the impact. Paid admission to ride the FlowRider gives each guest 30 minutes of time on the attraction—you must be at least 42 inches tall to ride boogie-board style, and at least 48 inches for surfing style. For those looking for more kicking back than catching waves, kick it at the nearby Pleasure Pools. With two separate pool decks and more than two dozen cabanas and daybeds, live DJs
spinning, two bars, VIP bottle service and bikini contests with celebrity judges all summer long, they are more than pleasurable—they’ll make any trip memorable. –Kiko Miyasato

Flight Without the Flight
Simulated experience gets you close to the real thing At Vegas Indoor Skydiving, guests can experience body flight—an adventure that’s very similar to skydiving, without the plane and thousands of feet of sky between you and the ground. The simulated free fall experience takes place inside a stationary, vertical wind tunnel that stretches 22-feet high and is outfitted with a mesh trampoline floor and foam-padded walls. Underneath a wire netting sits a DC-3 propeller—this is the device that will create winds up to 120 miles per hour. Each flier gets three flights to test out their skills, with the first move starting fliers out on their belly on top of the net, and in seconds up in the air. The next two tries are more adventurous, if you can handle it. Each flight is about one
42 6.5.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
minute long, and doesn’t require any previous experience. But, for the safety of everyone, each flier is accompanied by an experienced instructor who can take flight with you and even spin you or flip you in circles, once you’re airborne. If you’re brave enough, you might even want to try out a forward or backward somersault. If you’re with a group, there’s a viewing window so friends can watch one another’s antics inside the wind tunnel. And, if you want to record the momentous occasion, photos and video are taken during each flight and DVDs, custom photos and flash drives are available for purchase. So, if you can’t quite summon up the courage to jump out of a plane just yet, this adventure is the next best thing. –Kiko Miyasato

Still Rocking the Night
Club continues to bring top talent and memorable experiences Since making its debut in 2013, Hakkasan Group’s nightclub at MGM Grand, Hakkasan, has become one of the top destinations on the Strip. The 80,000-square-foot venue is more than just a place to have drinks and party. The five-story complex has a variation of nightlife options throughout. Two floors above the incomparable Hakkasan restaurant is where the action begins to take form, with the Ling Ling Lounge and the Ling Ling Club offering intimate nightlife alternatives. At the Ling Ling Lounge, grab a specialty cocktail, mingle a bit and enjoy the plush open VIP seating before making it over to the Ling Ling Club. A different vibe from the main nightclub, the Ling Ling Club, a smaller, more

intimate space, has featured a stellar lineup of DJs including Irie, Jazzy Jeff, Questlove, Rev Run and Ruckus, who spin hip-hop for those wanting that urban music experience. From time to time, special guests take over the club for up-close and personal performances. If you’re looking for a low-key night, then the Ling Ling Lounge and Ling Ling Club are the way to go. Just above the Ling Ling Club lies the main room on the fourth floor. This is where you’ll find some of the biggest names in the electronic dance music world rocking inside the massive DJ booth, including Tiësto, Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, Hardwell, Dada Life, Bingo Players and Steve Aoki. The main room is a beautiful sight, with its colorful combination of blue, orange and
purplish hues throughout, plus the giant LED screens and mind-blowing light shows, all of which add significantly to the party atmosphere. While getting down to EDM sounds, take time to scope out the scenery. You might even see celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Nick Jonas and Jay Z partying in the oversize VIP booths. And on the fifth floor, there’s the mezzanine. While more luxury VIP booths reside up here, guests can find spots that look over and onto all the action happening below on the dance floor. This week, catch Showtek (June 10), Tiësto with MOTi (June 11) and Steve Aoki (June 12) rocking the main room. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff MGM Grand, opens at 10 p.m. Thurs.Sun. 702.891.3838

Pink Cashmere
Passion fruit semifreddo
Sage has but one goal: To overwhelm your senses. To say it succeeds is understating the case considerably. From décor to service and cuisine, Sage is the complete package. The venue itself is an absolute stunner. A sizable bar area gives way to a large main dining room highlighted by distressed mirrors, chandeliers, soft lighting and black curtains. Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party” provides some pleasant eye candy as you wait for the next course. There are several distinct cocktails to choose from, including the Cold Drop Cocktail, made by infusing Woodford Reserve with blackberry and lemon, but for real visual stimulation, order the Pink Cashmere, made with Grey Goose Cherry Noir, white cranberry juice and lime juice— and topped with cotton candy. Sweet? Sure, but your decadent evening is just beginning. Chef de cuisine Chris Heisinger has loaded the menu with surprises around every corner, adding to the already stellar items from founder Shawn McClain. You can choose from a two-, three- and four-course tasting, or do the chef’s tasting menu. Any way you go here, you won’t leave unsatisfied. First courses include saltroasted beets, accentuated by goat’s yogurt and—surprise!—

chocolate. Or try the artichokefennel salad, a delicious combo of flavors including bacon, tangerine and lavender. Meat lovers will definitely want to try the wagyu beef tartare as a second course, served with a crushed caper aioli, slow-poached egg and, yes, crispy chocolate. It sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it really does. And the foie gras brûlée, served with strawberry compote, shaved black truffle and toasted country bread, is an intense mixture of sweet and meat. Get ready for one of the best dishes on the Strip for your third course: Sage’s Maine day boat scallop—its best seller for good reason. The texture is just perfect, and when you add braised oxtail, trumpet mushrooms and a salted caramel reduction, it really does not get any better. Luckily, your fourth course options are stellar as well, including wagyu filet served with potato purée and black truffles and grilled skirt steak with sesame and a miso soubise. For dessert, you’ll probably be tempted to order the foie gras candy bar, a McClain classic
Salt-roasted beets

with salt-and-pepper peanut butter cream, and bourbon caramel, and who could blame you? But you might also want to try the gooseberry tarte tatin, with a nice, flaky crust, candied pine nuts and green chartreuse ice cream, or the passion fruit semifreddo, a pleasantly light combination of toasted coconut, lime curd and raspberries. Bet you think you’re finished, but think again! You’ll surely
want to try something from Sage’s absinthe cart, which contains versions of the spirit from all over the world, like La Clandestine Supérieure from Switzerland and Grande Absente from France. Make sure you’ve got your camera ready, because your server will pour your absinthe into a glass while it’s on fire. It’s all a bit overwhelming, but that’s the essence of Sage.

Kendal Joseph
Model cocktail server talks love for her job, the city For Kendal Joseph all it took was one time visiting Las Vegas, and it changed her life. “I came (here) around my 21st birthday and I was like ‘Wow!’” said the Akron, Ohio, native. “I was pretty much mesmerized by how beautiful everything was and how much fun everyone was having. At that moment, I just knew I wanted to be here.” So, Joseph packed her bags and moved to Vegas seven years ago. And, today, you can find her working as a model cocktail server at one of the most successful nightclubs in the city, Omnia at Caesars Palace. Although Joseph had been through the audition process before, having worked for some of the city’s hottest day clubs and nightclubs, she says she still was a ball of nerves when
48 6.5.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
auditioning for a spot at Omnia. “About a couple thousand (ladies) auditioned,” Joseph said. “... Out of the thousands, only 69 ladies were chosen—so, it’s a huge privilege.” It’s important to Joseph that she reflects the status of the club in the way she works. “Most people would say you pour drinks all night, but it’s so much more than that,” she said. “You’re trying to create this fun party for your guests; give them amazing customer service. It might seem easy, but, really, you work very hard. … But, you also get to see great DJs every night and you’re inside one of the best nightclubs in the city, the world, so you have to remind yourself that this is special. Be thankful. You have to love Vegas, a city like no other.” –Kiko Miyasato
Omnia nightclub has quickly become known for its amazing bottle presentations. “We call them bottle drops,” Joseph said. “We have some of the best presentations in the whole city.” And, she’d be right. Delivering bottles, such as the Absolut Elyx bottle, to various VIP tables can be a complete show for clubgoers to watch. They’ve had aerialists drop from the ceiling, parades with sparklers, and one of Joseph’s favorites—the Barbie box. A giant Barbie box is wheeled to the table and the cocktail server playing the part of Barbie (Joseph has even played the role) comes to life, pops out of the box and delivers the bottle. “It’s my absolute favorite, it’s so much fun to watch,” she said. –KM

The popularity of this iconic 1950-1960s classic feminine style is now being embraced by a new generation.

However, designers have varied the style in 2016, ranging from über-dramatic to mega-

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

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

Rock of Vegas turns the Fremont Street Experience into party central Once the ritual of participating in tailgate parties to the civic center in order to catch the latest tour by you and your friends’ favorite bands has run its course, atmosphere becomes an increasingly important factor in enjoying a show. In the summer, that atmosphere should be outdoors whenever possible, which positions the multistage Fremont Street Experience as one of the top places to catch live music in Las Vegas through Labor Day Weekend when Smash Mouth caps off the 2016 Rock of Vegas concert series. Joan Jett kicked things off with her May 28 appearance on the Third Street Stage, warming up the sound system for 3 Doors Down’s June 11 set as part of a program that also includes Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Vertical Horizon and Melissa Etheridge. This summer, Rock of Vegas celebrates eight years of bringing top acts to Fremont’s sound systems. Smash Mouth and 3 Doors Down are veterans, with Smash 3 Doors Down Fremont Street Mouth having Experience, performed as 9 p.m. late as last June. June 11, free. 3 Doors Down 702.678.5600 played in June 2014, too, with Deep Purple, Lit, Papa Roach, P.O.D. and Soul Asylum joining them in gracing the stages of Glitter Gulch. The fact that 3 Doors Down is the one band back from the Rock of Vegas Class of ’14 is a testament to the Mississippi quintet’s enduring popularity. The Grammy-nominated band saw two albums hit No. 1 after the success of debut single “Kryptonite” in 2000, third album Seventeen Days summiting the Top 200 in 2005 and their self-titled fourth album repeating that success in 2008. With their debut and sophomore album Away
from the Sun having gone platinum many times over, the band released its sixth album, Us and the Night, in March. New members Chet Roberts (guitar) and Justin Biltonen (bass) play on the album, which is named for the song of the same title and reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart. Chubby Checker did the twist on multiple occasions when he performed on Fremont in 1998, the same year Cherry Poppin’ Daddies released monster hit “Zoot Suit Riot.” The Daddies may be the first swing band to play Rock of Vegas when they take the First Street Stage on July 2, but the finest proponents of jump blues and jitterbugging jams in the ’90s evoke the best of bygone eras wherever they roam. The Doors, meanwhile, have been a presence on Fremont since “Strange Days” was added to the Viva Vision canopy shows, but guitarist Robby Krieger will play his compositions—Krieger wrote “Light My Fire” and “Love Me Two Times,” among other songs in the Door’s catalog—in person at First Street’s Stage on July 23. Krieger is joined by his son Waylon on vocals. Adult-oriented alt-rock act Vertical Horizon comes after Krieger on the First Street Stage with an Aug. 4 appearance, followed by powerhouse singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge on Aug. 20. Etheridge exploded on the scene with “Bring Me Some Water” in 1988 and cemented her legacy with 1993 album Yes I Am, which featured perhaps her signature song, “I’m the Only One.” EDM fans may want to stick around after the live shows, as Tiesto—A Town Called Paradise plays on Viva Vision at midnight daily. But in the warm summer evenings it’s all about guitar, drums, bass and vocals—all delivered in Downtown Las Vegas.

The grand experience of each guest begins at the private valet entrance. After being whisked away by your private butler, retreat to the 13,950 square-foot, two-story, six-bedroom Palazzo Villa. The villa has hosted celebrities including Matt Damon, Elton John, Bruce Willis, Puff Daddy, Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears. Through the stunning foyer, each step inside reveals impressive amenities: a fully stocked bar, grand piano, fireplace, cozy balcony, spacious dining and media rooms. Two master suites flank the large, elegantly decorated living space. On the second floor are two additional master bedrooms and two guest rooms, accessible by staircase or by private elevator inside the villa.

Each master bedroom has its own private balcony with jetted spa and lounge chairs. Inside the master suites are luxurious bathrooms with steam showers and whirlpool tubs, seated vanity and his-andher sinks, all outfitted in marble and gold flourishes. Additional features in the villa include a massage room and the private salon furnished with all the standard equipment one would find in any salon on the Strip; so no need to go out to get beautified—both men and women can get fully styled in-house.

Another posh amenity of the villas and suites: 24-hour personal butler service. Whether you choose to have a lavish meal prepared within the villa, decide to host a cocktail party, want a specific flavor of ice cream at 3 a.m., or you need some personal shopping done, the butler can see to it that your needs are met. There’s also a private pool, cabanas and gardens on the grounds of the gated accommodations, and 24-hour complimentary limo transportation.

Tour de Force
Pierce the Veil (House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster) is a newschool band with an old-school work ethic. The 10-year-old emo/post-hardcore band has a strong connection with its devoted fan base, cultivated via modern methods like social media but also via relentless touring. The band’s most recent album, Misadventures, released last month, arrived

four years after its predecessor because the band spent nearly all of that time on tour. Frontman Vic Fuentes traveled the world while writing the songs for Misadventures, and that experience is reflected in the album’s lyrics. Alternative Press called the album “the stuff of time capsules, marvelously embodying everything important this musical subculture offers while enthusiastically transcending its

limitations with authentic charms.” Now that the album is out, the band will be doing what it does best, bringing those songs to the fans, with a tour that includes Misadventures in its entirety each night. “Everyone’s thirsty, and everyone’s ready for something new,” Fuentes recently told Rolling Stone about PTV’s passion for connecting with its audience on the current tour. –Josh Bell

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 Las Vegas was well represented at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, broadcast from the city’s T-Mobile Arena. Celine Dion delivered a memorable “The Show Must Go On,” and cried when her 15-year-old son ReneCharles presented her
with the Icon Award, while Britney Spears slayed with a sevensong opening medley of her hits. Meghan Trainor and Kesha dined (separately) at Kumi Japanese Restaurant and Bar in Mandalay Bay. Justin Bieber was spotted at Liquid Pool Lounge
at Aria. The Billboard Music Awards official afterparty at Drai’s at The Cromwell was attended by celebrities including 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather, Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian and Ally Brooke.
Fundraiser a huge hit It was a glittering and glamorous night with music and art in a passionate collision with the biggest names in the entertainment industry celebrating the 90th birthday of legendary singer Tony Bennett at Keep Memory Alive’s 20th Annual Power of Love Gala at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Final figures haven’t been tallied, but it is estimated that ticket sales, donations, sponsor contributions and auction proceeds will total about $17 million for the fundraiser that benefits our Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and its fight against brain disease including Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases, Multiple Sclerosis and Multiple System Atrophy.

Magician Murray Sawchuck’s Planet Hollywood assistant April Leopardi Anneberg won the PBR Last Cowboy Standing celebrity event at the Helldorado Days festivities downtown and donated her $2,000 win to Friends for Life Humane Society, which Murray also supports. Anneberg appears with Sawchuck on the CW’s newest season of Masters of Illusion, magically appearing in his 1973 Corvette. It took an entire hour for The Linq headliner magician and America’s Got Talent champion Mat Franco, who stars there in Magic Reinvented Nightly, to meet and greet his 500-plus audience as a surprise guest experience. He signed autographs, took photographs and chatted with fans for more than 60 minutes after performing onstage. Franco specializes in close-up magic. A-list stars have joined fans to cheer on Jennifer Lopez’s All I Have residency at Axis at Planet Hollywood, including Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, Laverne Cox, Ryan Guzman, Malika and Khadijah Haqq, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama, Alex Pettyfer, Randy Phillips, L.A. Reid, Loren Ridinger and Meghan Trainor.
