Paul Zerdin
Ventriloquist brings lively show to the Strip There’s a new gunslinger in town, ventriloquially speaking. Perhaps it’s simpler to say there’s a new voice-thrower in town. Chances are good, though, that you’ve already met London-born ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, who won the 10th season of America’s Got Talent. Zerdin recently launched his new show, Mouthing Off, at Planet Hollywood Resort. Recently, Zerdin spoke to Las Vegas Magazine’s Steve Bornfeld about challenging audiences and trying to reinvigorate the art of ventriloquism. What’s the secret to making audiences suspend disbelief? You have to make it believable or else people aren’t going to buy into the jokes. In my show, the puppets Sam, his grandpa Albert, and the baby, they are all kind of related, so it’s kind of like I’m looking after this dysfunctional family. Because there is that kind of weird dynamic, it helps make the characters believable. What inspired your comic sensibilities? I was influenced by old-fashioned comedy, really. I was brought up on Laurel and Hardy, and Abbott and Costello, and British comedians. But I love American comedians. Jerry Seinfeld is one of my favorites. I was brought up on a diet of American television, so it kind of makes sense that I wound up here. On AGT, a highlight was you turning Howie Mandel into a “human puppet,” and now you do it with audience members. Why is that so popular? What I did with Howie was a shorter version of the full routine I’m doing here. I can get them walking around the stage. Sometimes I go into the audience and I’m controlling them from the seat and they are up there doing the show. I’ve never seen that
24 8.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
done before. That’s totally new. I did a sneak preview of it with Howie and he was just the best dummy. On live television, it was a risk, but it was a risk worth taking. There is a structure to it, but you never know how people are going to react, and that’s the great thing about doing a live show. How is your material in your Vegas show different than what you did on AGT? It’s a bit edgy, with things you can’t say on prime time television. It’s cheekier than what you saw on AGT. On TV, you performed with Terry Fator, who performs at The Mirage. How do you feel about competing with him? When I was here before, doing three nights at Planet Hollywood, we hung out and he’s become a friend. I have to pinch myself because he’s set the benchmark here in Vegas and here am I doing a show in Vegas. Just to do a shot with him was amazing. Do you think of yourself as part of a “young turks” generation that reinvigorated the art form? I would like to think so. It’s about doing things in a different way. Within the show there’s stand-up, there’s examples of me throwing my voice without a puppet, so
you don’t have to have a puppet at the end of your arm. And the human puppet segment, I think that’s where it’s going. And the fact that I can improvise, I think that makes it more modern. And there is the use of animatronics, so the puppets stand on their own sometimes. We have this amazing technology at our fingertips, so why not use it? I think people haven’t seen too much of that and I think it’s refreshing and different. As long as the show is funny, I think you can do anything.
On AGT you brought attention to how people try to see your lips move, as if daring the audience to catch you in the act. Why do that? I think you should just confront it, because you know that’s what everyone is thinking. Is his mouth moving? If you can show that it isn’t really moving and you’ve got an interesting character, they move away from that and concentrate on the puppet. And the puppet is more interesting to look at.

Cocktail highlights include the roasted jalapeno margarita and the Leblon caipirinha. For more information call Lagasse’s Stadium at 702.607.2665.
Join the Circus
It’s the show that started it all. Since 1993, Mystère at Treasure Island has delighted Las Vegas visitors and locals alike, and continues to astound with its acrobatics, athleticism and visual magic every week. This summer, guests can get an inside look at the Cirque spectacular by enjoying special offers like open rehearsals every Saturday and Sunday from 3 to 3:30 p.m. And this week on Aug. 9 at 5 p.m., guests are in for a real treat as the show hosts a rare meetand-greet with cast members. Free and open to guests of all ages, fans can take pictures and interact with the artists. For more information on the summer events with Mystère, visit cirquedusoleil.com/las-vegas.

Chippendales The Show at Rio has been a huge hit since opening at the property in 2002. In addition to more than 6,000 performances, the show has sold 10 million calendars and gone through 12,243 T-shirts. The former Viva Las Vegas Lounge at Hard Rock Hotel (now occupied by the Cantor Gaming sports book) was often called “the side bar.” Further, it was nicknamed “Judge Ito’s,” because as the hotel opened, the O.J. Simpson trial was ongoing. Fremont Hotel and Casino’s rich 60-year history began on May 18, 1956, when it opened as one of the first high-rise hotels in Las Vegas. Looking for a good hotel? Not a problem in Las Vegas. The city’s metropolitan area has the most AAA Five Diamond hotels of any city worldwide.
Happier Hour
These magical times bring food and drink delight Whether you’re looking for a little drinkypoo after a hard day at the pool, or need a convenient spot to meet up with friends, Las Vegas’ happy hours have you covered. Tom’s Urban Beat the Clock happy hour in New York-New York has a twist: Starting at 4 p.m. Monday-Friday, get a selection of cocktails and small bites like urban street tacos and fried dill pickles for $4 each; prices rise each hour. Late night SundayThursday, it’s in reverse, with $6 offerings starting at 11 p.m. down to $4 after 1 a.m. Liven up an afternoon of shopping at Fashion Show with Kona Grill’s afternoon party, featuring a Monday-Friday 3 p.m. start time. Try sake sangria, crispy tuna or spinach and artichoke dip for $6 and up. Weekdays at Green Valley Ranch, happy hour at Borracha runs from 4-7 p.m. and Bottiglia from 5-7 p.m., and everything’s $6. Try the Heat of the Moment cocktail at Borracha for a spicy kick. The wood-roasted eggplant at Bottiglia is darned good, too. Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill in Caesars Palace holds a Hell’s Kitchen Happy Hour weekdays from 2-5 p.m., with items like Toad in the Hole and truffle fries starting at $5 and draft beer at $5, too. In The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo, DB Brasserie’s oyster hour features $1 West Coast oysters daily from 5-6 p.m. Or nosh on Caesar salad and Alsatian flatbread with goat cheese, priced from $6 and up. The DB’s Knees cocktail with gin and honey syrup goes for $9 from 3-6 p.m. and from 10-11 p.m. –Nina King

enough, there’s not a single nod to the British-born singer’s 21st century success, the five volumes of standards he has intermittently released since 2002. Perhaps that’s best, since the Colosseum crowd seems ready to rock, and detours into Frank Sinatra
territory seem destined to be overshadowed by the rest of his oeuvre. What Stewart does deliver is a glimpse into his roots: the kinds of rock, blues and folk covers that informed his earliest work, as well as his first few critically acclaimed solo albums.

The Magic Man Famously, in 1983, he appeared to make the Statue of Liberty vanish. Is that any way for a gentleman to treat a Lady (Liberty)? Nifty, though, right? Nothing so immense unfolds at David Copperfield’s Las Vegas show, but expect an evening of invention and imagination nonetheless. Constantly updating his bag—well, more like a Mack Truck—of tricks, Copperfield brings his show in line with the social media age, performing illusions involving email and Twitter. Audience participation figures prominently for those willing to become part of the magic. License plates, a duck and an animatronic alien all enter into the entertainment. Things materialize and dematerialize. Predictions leave the crowd stumped. And Copperfield tells the tale of his journey to fame, reaching back to being 6 years old at a friend’s birthday party. After this compelling night of magic and storytelling, once you’re back on the Strip, have no fear—that junior Lady Liberty across the street will still be there … we think. –Steve Bornfeld

There’s no way to go wrong at Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse. Steaks are aged for a minimum of 30 days, resulting in more tender cuts. The filet mignon is a classic cut, but if you want to impress your friends—and onlookers elsewhere in the dining room—order the charred Andiamo tomahawk instead. Don’t forget the restaurant’s famous “zip sauce.” On the pasta front, house-made pappardelle arrives in a rich, complex veal ragu fitting the definition of ribsticking meal. Or, for a lighter option, agnolotti are tender bundles of ground pork and beef in tomato basil sauce. –Jim Begley The D, 5-11 p.m. daily. 702.388.2220 David Copperfield photo by Homer Anthony Liwag GO Pool photo by Christopher DeVargas Andiamo Italian Steakhouse by Peter Harasty

It’s the Tour Life When we last left Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, the Cleveland-bred hip-hop group was planning to record a full-length album that would be auctioned off in the form of a single LP, à la WuTang Clan’s 2014 The Wu—Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. That idea was shelved, according to Krayzie Bone, although he has not seemed to have addressed the idea of all five Bone brothers—Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, Wish, and Flesh— reuniting for a tour that was to accompany the release of a “million-dollar album.” Krayzie did release a well-received solo album, Chasing the Devil, last November, and Bone Thugs-NHarmony is currently on a summer tour. The tour itself was postponed due to Krayzie suffering complications from a chronic illness, and just how many Bone Thugs are involved with the summer shows can’t be confirmed. The rapid-fire rap harmonists who contributed “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” and “Tha Crossroads” to the summer sounds of the mid-’90s
still aren’t about to write the last chapter of their career until they can do it right. Consider the summer shows, which culminate at The Kings and Queens of Hip Hop in Jacksonville, a warm-up for the finale. –Matt Kelemen

Mind Games Show of hands, please: How many of you would enjoy being hypnotically induced into mocklovemaking with a chair? … Hmmm, several. Now, how many would like to witness that? … Wow, a lot. Cool. Or, more to the point: Cools. The production headlined by veteran of the hypnotic arts Anthony Cools is a merry-goround of ribald antics after the dulcet-toned Cools puts willing subjects under his control. With an expressive face that always seems twisted into a playful smirk, Cools puts his charges through paces that begin innocent-
ly—say, pretending to play instruments in an orchestra—and quickly grow more suggestive. The show, ahem, climaxes with Cools’ signature porn auditions, as each remaining volunteer displays their skill with a chair. “Certain things will always affect the show—moon cycles, the time of year, even bills being due at tax time—it varies...” Cools said. “You don’t know what’s going to happen until it happens, and that’s what makes the show real.” –Steve Bornfeld Paris, 9 p.m. Thurs.-Sun. & Tues., $44.36$74.63 plus tax and fee, 18+. 877.374.7469

Reality vs. Illusion Entertainment, shake hands with subversion. Each shares the spotlight when Penn & Teller—i.e., tall, talkative Penn Jillette and diminutive, wordless Teller (no surname, thank you)—take the stage for a show that’s a brand-name recipe for magical goodness around the globe. Expect nothing as simple as mere abracadabra. Instead, expect World Series-level illusions—dazzling fastballs and mystifying off-speed pitches. Watch as Teller escapes from a helium-filled trash bag—without letting the gas do likewise. Witness an audience member ushered onstage to vanish in a flash of light, replaced by Teller. Yet it’s when they expose fakery (with a joke book gag) and make points about personal liberty (a tutorial on fooling airport metal detectors involving bits of metal and the Bill of Rights) that they apply their style-meets-substance trademark. And whatever side of the gun control debate you’re on, you’ll be riveted by the signature “bullet catch.” –Steve Bornfeld

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. 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. 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. –SB Treasure Island, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Sat.-Wed., $69-$125 plus tax and fee. 702.894.7722

She’s in Control Better have some money if you want to know what K. Michelle is all about. At least that’s her message in “Got Em Like” from her chartbusting third album for Atlantic Records, More Issues Than Vogue. It’s also her newest video, the concept of which took K. Michelle back to the strip club scene she worked in before VH-1’s Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta made her a reality television star. The show gave her a high-profile platform to resurrect her singing career after being dropped by Jive Records and she returned in 2013 with Rebellious Soul. That album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B album charts and No. 2 on the top 200, as did her March-released More Issues Than Vogue. The Memphis-born singer then launched the 20-date “Hello Kimberly” tour, complete with meet-and-greets and signings on behalf of her sponsor Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey. K. Michelle has proved herself to be a triple threat who can sing, act “and talk sh*t,” as Sirius XM radio host Sway told her. And although she
often sounds like she has money on her mind, it’s not necessarily her own welfare she’s thinking about: Each month she pays the bills for two single-mother fans. –Matt Kelemen

Hormonal Harmony 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. Never has The Change felt so ... relatable. 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, Change, Change”), Sonny & Cher (“I’m No Babe, Ma”) and the Bee

Expanded Horizons The Vans Warped Tour has been going for so long that the alterna-teens who attended the tour in its earliest years (it launched in 1995) could be bringing their own teenage offspring to see this year’s edition. While there are still a handful of legacy punk-rock acts on the Warped bill each year, the tour has remained vital by consistently catering to the tastes of young people, many of whom are too young to get into clubs and bars to see their favorite bands live. This year’s lineup includes veteran pop-punk bands (New Found Glory, Less Than Jake, Yellowcard, pictured), heavy rockers (Every Time I Die, Issues, Whitechapel) and rappers (Waka Flocka Flame, Prof), among artists from various other subgenres. The Warped bill is always so jam-packed that a group of attendees could experience entirely different concerts, and the multiple stages are scheduled so that there are no gaps between bands. For kids attending their first concert or adults indulging in nostalgia, Warped has the entire spectrum covered. –Josh Bell

A Journey Through the Stars Human Nature, the Australian quartet that’s been wowing Las Vegas audiences with its Motown sound since 2009, recently revamped its show to include hits from yesterday and today. The result is Jukebox, where you’re as likely to hear The Drifters’ “Under the Boardwalk” as you are Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk.” It’s an incredibly addictive evening of entertainment, full of impeccable voices, spot-on choreography and even a good

dose of humor. One particular highlight is the group’s tribute to boy bands, made even more significant by the fact that Human Nature was one of the world’s first. The group’s exhaustive trip through the decades includes taking requests from the audience, hosting a dance contest with audience members and performing several original numbers. Even if you’ve seen Human Nature before, you’ve never seen them like this. –Ken Miller
LVB Burgers & Bar at The Mirage loves acronyms. Cruising the burger section of the menu you’ll find the W.T.F. (What the Flock) a turkey burger with turkey bacon; the P.S.S. (Pineapple, Salmon, Slaw) with a soy-glazed salmon patty and grilled pineapple; and the B.L.D. (Breakfast Lunch Dinner) with a sausage burger, fried egg and cheese, served on an English muffin. There’s about a dozen acronymed creations to choose from—and they’re all gourmet quality. The appetizers and desserts are just as adventurous in recipe and taste, too. –Kiko Miyasato The Mirage, 11 a.m.-midnight Sun.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.792.7888

Hot Scenes You’ll feel the excitement the minute you walk into the Thunder From Down Under showroom and look up on the screen to see handsome blokes posing for the new 2017 calendar during a shoot in the desert and exercising to keep in good shape something obvious to the eye as they are wearing minimal clothing. But, what’s even better is when the screen goes up and there are the guys in person ready to entertain in a revealing and fun way. Be prepared for a memorable experience as these hot Aussie dancers
show how they like to get up close and personal with the ladies in the audience. The guys jump up on tables, run through the crowds giving hugs and kisses and even bring some lucky ladies up onstage for a solo dance. While Thunder definitely is a sexy and steamy experience, it also features warmth, humor and charm. While it’s a draw for bachelorette parties, you can find generations of the same family here (watch out for naughty nanas who are at the show with their daughters and granddaughters). –Penny Levin
Honoring the Legacy With Purple Reign: The Prince Tribute Show, audiences are amazed at how much the show feels like they are watching “The Artist” himself. Jason Tenner, who produces and stars in the production, said, “We cover the years of his biggest hits—1981 to 1994.” The musical party keeps the focus on hits like “Raspberry Beret” and “Little Red Corvette.” The raw energy Prince always exuded is depicted by Tenner. “We attempt to stay as true to the form and artistry of Prince as possible.” –PL Westgate Las Vegas, 9 p.m. Wed.-Sat., $49$69 VIP plus fee, $89 Purple Velvet Package, 18+. 800.222.5361

All About the Party
Megaclub adds new themed night to its roster 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 hip-hop DJs including Irie, Jazzy Jeff, Questlove, Rev Run and Ruckus. 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. 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. New at Hakkasan is the aboutLASTnight party hosted by one of the most-recognized voices in rap music—Lil Jon. Billed as the “party everyone wants to be a part of,” the evening features a DJ performance, and the party maestro joins the crowd on the dance floor, takes shots with partiers in VIP booths and leads the wild champagne fire drills. It’s truly an immersive and interactive experience, and the next party pops off this Friday, Aug. 12. Future dates for aboutLASTnight include Aug. 26 and Sept. 9. Yeeaahh!

Royal long-bone chop
Gordon Ramsay Steak keeps standards high 44 8.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

NOSH CHEERS
Beef Wellington
El Matador
Sticky toffee pudding
A FURY FOR FLAVOR. That’s the feisty way Gordon Ramsay Steak was being advertised on billboards when it opened four years ago. Thanks to his empire of TV shows (Hell’s Kitchen and Master Chef, to name but two) and even larger collection of restaurants, Ramsay is one of the most recognized culinary figures in the world, never failing to live up to expectations as a passionate kitchen commander. That’s the fury. Experience Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris and you’ll get the flavor. Oftentimes the celebrity chef factor can play against the restaurant, with fame overshadowing cuisine. Not the case at Ramsay’s first foray onto the Strip (he also has Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill and Gordon Ramsay BurGR). This casino-side escape begins with a trip through “the Chunnel,” virtually transporting you from Paris to London in a two-story dining room, augmented by a shining rendition of the Union Jack on the ceiling. The beef is big and boldly satisfying. The side dishes are hearty and flavored powerfully. And the signature Ramsay dishes on the menu, most notably beef Wellington, are simultaneously rustic and refined. His Paris Las Vegas Wellington is only ever perfectly 4:30-10:30 medium rare, with lovely texture p.m. daily. and lots of juiciness, encased in a 702.946.4663 delicate pastry crust. In fact, it’s showcased on the current Hell’s Kitchen Tasting Menu, which also includes a Scotch egg, baby beet salad, scallop risotto and dessert. Don't neglect drinks—El Matador is incredibly refreshing. The menu is a hybrid of British favorites and classic steakhouse fare. Begin with a shellfish platter stocked with tiger prawns, oysters, clams and lobster, or opt for onion soup flavored with Boddingtons Pub Ale and accompanied by a cheesy bite of Welsh rarebit. Favorite appetizers include fried Blue Point oysters with crème fraîche tartar sauce and butter-poached Maine lobster. The roasted beet salad off the Hell’s Kitchen Tasting Menu is a perfect summer starter—fresh and tender beets with burrata and Lolla Rossa lettuce. Ramsay’s place features one of the more unique steaks on the menu, the American Kobe rib cap, an 8-ounce selection boasting ribeye flavor with a seemingly lean, velvety texture you would find in a filet. The Royal long-bone chop comes in at 32 ounces. Wow. Rounding out the entrées are fish and chips—with loup de mer and truffle fries—and braised short ribs. Of course, the sticky toffee pudding with brown butter ice cream is practically an unmissable choice: another classic flavor reworked into a sumptuous, addictive treat. It’s a power closer for a power steakhouse, a Vegas restaurant that makes good on the promise of its fearless leader.

Tony Fisher
General manager keeps moving forward It’s been a long and winding road in the food and beverage industry for Tony Fisher. Today, as general manager of Beerhaus at The Park, Fisher couldn’t be happier. “I get to come to work and look outdoors with people walking by,” he said. “It’s scenic. It’s different. I love it.” While growing up, Fisher (who was raised in North Dakota) watched his parents run small businesses; the experience of working alongside them gave him a taste for what was to become a successful career managing some of Las Vegas’ most popular venues. “Working with them—it was daily life,” Fisher said. “I definitely got my work ethic from Mom and Dad.” Fisher has helped open some of the city’s most well-known eateries, in hotels up and
46 8.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
down the Strip. And, as The Park (the city’s newest outdoor entertainment and dining complex) was being built, Fisher was on the ground floor helping to open Beerhaus, “a modern take on a classic beer garden,” he said. “We have something for everyone—we have great food, a full bar; it’s very social. It’s a place where you can just come and relax. It’s the simplicity of the concept that’s really the best.” As general manager, Fisher is responsible for day-to-day operations. And what that means is, “You have to be willing to work hard,” he said. “You have to be willing and able to look ahead.” It’s that work ethic, the one Fisher has had since he was young, that’s kept him on the road to success. –Kiko Miyasato
“The biggest focus of our beer list is to make sure that we have representation from the local breweries,” Fisher said. Guests can choose from a rotating lineup of up to seven local brewers including Crafthaus, Big Dog’s, Sin City, Bad Beat and Hop Nuts. Beerhaus also offers a robust menu of lagers, ales, ciders and nonalcoholic brews. “We didn’t want to have the largest beer selection on the Strip or in Vegas, that wasn’t the goal,” Fisher said. “The goal was to have the most interesting and always keep it fresh.” Enjoy happy hour from 2-6 p.m. daily with $4 drafts. Every Tuesday is pub trivia, and there’s live music ThursdaySaturday. –KM

Mega-playground Adventuredome is chockablock with attractions for the whole family to choose from Go on—shed a few decades. You know your kids have the right idea— namely, being kids. Within the walls of Adventuredome—the super-charged playground at Circus Circus—grown-ups can (and should) be kids, too. Housed indoors beneath a large glass dome and loaded with 27 rides and
50 8.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
attractions, the 5-acre Adventuredome has been a signature element of Las Vegas since it opened as Grand Slam Canyon in August 1993, and was renamed in 1998. (Every October since 2003, the amusement complex has transformed into Fright Dome as a Halloween theme park.)
Still a prime locale for a high-energy good time, Adventuredome is home to noted El Loco roller coaster, which tops its lineup of gravity-challenging rides, plus a rock-climbing wall, clown shows, miniature golf, mini-bowling, interactive theater shows and carnival/ arcade games.
Circus Circus 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Sun., 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Mon.Thurs., 10 a.m.-midnight Fri.-Sat., hours may vary, $12 per El Loco roller or Canyon Blaster coaster ride, $6-$9 other rides, $31.95 for all-day pass ($17.95, children under 48 inches). 702.794.3939
Families can conveniently start with the family rides. Try the B.C. Bus, an up-downand-around ride, or go for the Circus Carousel, an old-fashioned, revolving trip atop your favorite carved animal. Another classic experience—taking a spin on a Ferris wheel—is available on one called Drifters. And for the

smaller members of your contingent, plop ’em on the Frog Hopper for some bouncy fun, put them onboard Miner Mike, a “runaway” coal train, or let them take flight on Thunderbirds to play pilot on a 1920s-style plane. Bigger daredevils will be drawn to such attractions as Sand Pirates, where you can
indulge your swashbuckling side and hang on tight for a wild pirate ship ride. Or slide in behind the wheel of the Canyon Cars, a bumper-car crash course. Coaster aficionados can’t pass up the marquee attractions. Get your adrenaline jacked up on the famous/infamous Canyon Blaster—advertised as “the world’s only indoor, double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster” that barrels through the Adventuredome at a speedy 55 mph. After catching your breath, give your heart another jump-start on El Loco, a twisty nerve-rattler that shoots 90 feet up, then plummets for a 1.5-vertical-G drop. Once your feet are back on the ground—get ’em off again. Take a whirl on Disk’O, a rocking/spinning thingamabob; soar on the Sling Shot that rockets you up to its tower with 4 G’s worth of acceleration; experience some Chaos, a ride that spins you in three ranges of rapid motion; and hop aboard the Inverter, a flip-crazed concoction that whips you around a full 360 degrees with G-force intensity. Also among the abundant amusements: take in the 4-D Special FX Theatre, with its bubbles, scents, air bursts, water squirts and vibrating seats that help give dimension and bring to life adventure cartoons including Ice Age and Pacific Rim; zap your friendly foes with laser fire at the Lazer Blast arena—then put a Gotham City spin on the fun with Batmanthemed laser battles, including protecting citizens from the dastardly Joker. Up for a physical challenge? Head to the Xtreme Zone to test your rock-climbing and bungee-jumping abilities. Those who want to square off against the pins can visit the mini-bowling of Highway 66. At the Midway Games, prizes await, while video game lovers can flock to the arcade. And adding to the merry vibe, clown shows take place on the main stage throughout the afternoon, with evening performances added on Fridays and Saturdays. So go on—shed those decades. In here, even grown-ups give in to childlike abandon.

In recognition of that, Las Vegas Magazine took an alphabetical approach to highlighting 26 experiences in the city. Every vowel and consonant was easily covered, as we found out, and at least five letters can easily be experienced during an average Vegas stay.

Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas (MGM Grand, 800.745.3000) are all grown up. Just a few years ago, they were stars on the Disney Channel. Lovato got her start as the star of Sonny With a Chance, and Jonas was one-third of Disney-signed band the Jonas Brothers. But as their tween fans have matured, Lovato and Jonas have matured with them, and while they haven’t disavowed their squeaky-clean pasts,
they’ve made clear efforts to forge new images as confident adult pop stars. Lovato’s early pop hits include “Give Your Heart a Break” and “Skyscraper,” and the Jonas Brothers’ include “Burnin’ Up” and “Tonight.” Nick Jonas’ most recent solo album, Last Year Was Complicated, features a more sophisticated R&B-influenced sound, more personal, revealing lyrics and guest spots from

artists like Tove Lo and Ty Dolla $ign. Lovato’s 2015 album Confident is similarly revealing and sophisticated, although more geared toward dance-pop, with songs (including the hit title track) that address her personal struggles. Both artists visit Las Vegas on Aug. 13, and after years of making similar career moves, Lovato and Jonas are the perfect tour mates, still taking cues from one another. –Josh Bell

THE KATS REPORT
Around Town John Katsilometes is an awardwinning columnist who has been covering the city since 1996, and has been the author of The Kats Report since 2009. Visit his blog at LasVegasSun.com.
Who-What-Where Reba McEntire recently took in a performance of Absinthe at Caesars Palace, and one act in particular made a huge impression. During a recent performance of Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas, McEntire
said to Kix Brooks, “You’re cute! But you ain’t no Bathtub Boy in Absinthe!” Ashley Benson enjoyed herself with friends and family at Tao Beach at The Venetian. Basketball star DeAndre Jordan celebrated his 28th birthday at 1 OAK at
The Mirage. Actor Terrence Jenkins partied at Chateau Nightclub & Rooftop at Paris. NBA legends David Robinson, Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond and Spencer Haywood hosted a meet-andgreet with fans at Beer Park at Paris.
‘Absinthe’ moving on The future of one of the Strip’s most successful and celebrated productions has spun into uncertainty. Absinthe, which routinely sells out the Spiegeltent at Caesars Palace’s Roman Plaza and this spring celebrated its fifth anniversary, plans to leave the property at the end of October and subsequently move into a new venue on the Strip. The full Absinthe company was notified of this development during a meeting at the tent recently, with Spiegelworld co-producer David Foster delivering the news. He said the show would be closing at Roman Plaza on Oct. 21, then added that the production would be moving to a new, unspecified property.

The jam continues for Carlos Santana. Added to the guitar great’s schedule at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay are five additional shows in January and February, carrying his residency, Santana: Greatest Hits Live, into its fifth year in the 1,200-square-foot music hall. The added dates are Jan. 25, 27-29 and Feb. 1-4. Santana’s hits include “Smooth,” “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va.” One of the Strip’s great showmen/ women has marked an impressive anniversary. “Mistress of Sensuality” Edie of Zumanity, aka Christopher Kenney, notched performance No. 4,000 recently at New York-New York. A quick quote from the stage from Edie, toying with a gentleman from Minnesota who was brought to the stage: “Is this a happy trail? You’re not stopping me!” Due to overwhelming demand, new show dates have been added for Jennifer Lopez’s Planet Hollywood residency, Jennifer Lopez: All I Have. Fans can now purchase tickets for shows on Dec. 14, Feb. 8, 10-11, 14, 17-18 and 24-25, May 24, 26-27, 28 and 31, and June 2-3, 7 and 9-11. The multitalented Lopez has been performing to capacity crowds since beginning her show in 2015.
