egas clubs typically book their New Year’s Eve talent months in advance, but sometimes, earlier is better. DJ Ikon has been a lock for NYE 2017 at the Bank at Bellagio since springtime, and that means a lot for the longtime local club fixture. Lake Tahoe native Aaron White has been spinning and living in Las Vegas since 2004. “I was living in Reno and came down here for the first time for a DJ battle at Tangerine [at Treasure Island],” Ikon says. “I won that and next thing you know they moved me down here to help open Pure.” The rest, as they say, is history. “I knew I wanted

to be in Vegas. There were a few guys like DJ Hollywood and R.O.B. who had already made a career here, and I knew that’s what I wanted to do and what I wanted my life to be. I just fell into it.” Ikon has played just about every room you can think of—some of his all-time faves are Pure, LAX and Wet Republic— and can currently be found at clubs like 1 OAK, Hyde, Intrigue and Heart of Omnia. At one time he was one of the area’s most active house-music producers, but in recent years he has refocused his efforts on touring and other ventures like the documentary he finished this year with the crew from DJ blog Club Killers and his Vegas sneaker

boutique Feature, which expanded its Spring Mountain Road shop this year. Musically, Ikon is riding the surging wave of open format. “My real passion is ’90s hip-hop, and it’s seen this huge resurgence this year,” he says. “People are going back to this golden era when everything that came out was really good and classic, and rediscovering it. I could listen to it all day, every day.” DJ Ikon at the Bank at Bellagio, December 31. –Brock Radke

ady Gaga has spent lots of time in Las Vegas over the past year. First, she performed (with Tony Bennett) at the Frank Sinatra 100th birthday tribute show at Wynn’s Encore Theater last December. She returned in the spring, to UNLV, with Vice President Joe Biden to raise awareness of sexual assault and perform the Oscar-nominated song “Til It Happens to You.” Now she’s back at Encore Theater, performing an intimate, one-night-only set of favorites, classics

and jazz standards with Brian Newman and his quintet on December 30. Still flying high from this year’s release of her genre-spanning fourth solo studio album, Joanne, Gaga will take one of the world’s biggest stages in February when she performs at the Super Bowl halftime show. Though rumors persist that she could be interested in a Las Vegas Strip residency along the lines of Celine Dion or the more recently announced show from Ricky

Martin, it seems unlikely Lady Gaga is ready to slow down and post up in one place for long. She’s still just getting started. Lady Gaga at Encore Theater at Wynn, December 30.

f the headlines were correct and a slice of Las Vegas landed in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, it was one tremendous slice. The $1.4 billion MGM National Harbor made its debut with one of the biggest parties of the year on December 8, attended by a group of dignitaries and celebrities including former House Speaker John Boehner; American Gaming Association President Geoff Freeman; former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake; artists from the property’s Heritage Collection including Alice Aycock, Margaret Boozer, Chul Hyun

Ahn, Liao Yibai and Katherine Mann; CNN host Wolf Blitzer; then-Miss World Mireia Lalaguna; and actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who fitted guests with footwear from her first standalone shoe boutique, SJP. Michelin-starred chef José Andrés revealed his new seafood concept Fish and offered samples of lobster jambalaya and gin and tonic oysters. Other superstar culinary celebs in attendance to unveil their National Harbor restaurants were Marcus Samuelsson (who also debuts his first in-room dining program for the

resort’s 308 rooms and suites) and Bryan and Michael Voltaggio. Cirque du Soleil, Blue Man Group and the Jabbawockeez took over the resort’s new theater on opening night; Boyz II Men performed the first official concert on December 15.

ndrea Frey might be the only person who would describe megaclubs like Hakkasan and Omnia as smaller-scale experiences. That’s because the director of creative production for the Hakkasan Group was accustomed to arena and festivalsized entertainment events before she landed in Las Vegas.

O N

PHOTOGRAPH BY CHRISTOPHER DEVARGAS

Frey started working with Angel Music Group in England in 2005, helping to build international events like the Global Gathering festival and Godskitchen productions. “We had tours around the world, and I was always prepping and advancing and traveling,” Frey says. “I was on the road for seven years, and before that I was more of an events manager based in festivals or arena shows. This is very different, because it’s relentless; it goes on every week, four days a week. I had to get used to that.” When she arrived on the Strip to open Hakkasan at MGM Grand—she has also helped key the creation of experiences at Omnia and this year’s Jewel—Frey took some time to adjust to Vegas. “It’s everything that I’m not,” she says. But constant sunshine, active outdoor opportunities and plenty of music eased the transition. “Music is my passion, always has been. My goal in the future is to move away from DJs and get into live music.”

For now, Frey helps create the experience in these venues, working with any artist who performs here. “It may be a small scale in comparison to what I was used to, but that doesn’t mean it’s less work,” she says. “The idea was to make bespoke creative shows for every artist on the roster. I’ve been in the business so long I tend to know a lot of them personally, especially because a lot of our artists are Dutch, and I’m Dutch so that makes it easier. “We welcome involvement, and sometimes it’s a pain in the ass to be quite frank, but sometimes it’s wonderful, because you create support from the get-go. If you do something and the artist is not involved, it can create some disconnect, but if someone is involved from the very beginning, it’s easier to do fine-tuning and tweaking.” –Brock Radke

he Palazzo and Hudson Group have teamed up to create the new luxury retail concept the Atrium, a 16,000-square-foot multi-vendor destination offering fine jewelry, watches and accessories, beauty products and fragrances, electronics and premier spirits. It’s an unlikely mix of familiar offerings in a dramatic environment, something unique in retail in Las Vegas and perhaps anywhere else. It’s a shopping destination that must be experienced, but here are three fun finds to give you an idea what to expect at the Atrium: Porsche Design 911 Soundbar. The original rear silence and twin

exhaust module from a Porsche 911 GT3 has been converted into a Helmholtz resonance 2.1 virtual surround subwoofer booster, a truly powerful audio experience ready for wireless audio transmission from your tablet or smartphone. Louis XIII Black Pearl 140th Anniversary Edition. The most rare Louis XIII in the world was handmade using oak from France’s Limousin region by four generations of cellar masters. It’s a blend of over 1,200 eaux-de-vie ranging from 40 and 100 years old, packaged in just 775 decanters worldwide.

Christophe Claret Poker Texas Hold ’Em Watch. Because sometimes you need a timepiece with a well-defined, fully functional game of Texas Hold ’Em. Two watchmaker-constructors worked full time for more than two years to create this very Vegasy watch. The Atrium at Palazzo, 702-607-6768; Sunday-Thursday 10 a.m.-11 p.m., Friday & Saturday 10 a.m.-midnight.

s 2016 draws to a close— the first year Industry Weekly has covered the Las Vegas nightlife landscape—it’s time to look back at key trends that defined the club scene this year …

INTRIGUE PHOTOGRAPH BY BARBARA KRAFT

The importance of intimacy. Two major new venues arrived in the spring—Intrigue at Wynn, a thorough refreshing of the iconic Tryst space, and Jewel at Aria, a wholesale revision of the former Haze nightclub—and both were designed with striking luxury, superior service opportunities and a more intimate vibe in mind. The monstrous megaclub that has come to define Las Vegas nightlife is well-represented; a more diverse audience is ready for different, unique experiences, and the industry leaders are ready to provide them. A more open format. Music is cyclical, and what’s hot will always be changing, but hip-hop—which never went away, so don’t call it a comeback—surged forward in Las Vegas in 2016, driving the live performance trend from arenas to concert halls to clubs. The reports of EDM’s death have been greatly exaggerated; the pop crossover of established artists like Calvin Harris and Diplo and newer ones like DJ Snake and The Chainsmokers proves the sound isn’t going anywhere. Expect to see more genre-blurring and more playlists and clubs that run the full gamut of dance music.

Press play. Encore Players Lounge debuted last December, a stylized, luxed-up casino party pit where you can watch sports, bet on them and play games that cost money and don’t. Then the new Wynn poker room arrived just steps away from EPL, Surrender and Encore Beach Club, connecting all the dots. This development came after Lavo Casino Club incorporated traditional VIP gaming into the nightclub environment, and during an era when every casual concept— from Downtown’s Gold Spike to the suburban PKWY Tavern to the Strip’s Beer Park and Beerhaus—is using traditional pub or taproom games to bring a bit of interactivity to the mix. And now MGM Grand’s Level Up is here to set a new standard, armed with everything from Giant Pac-Man to a gaming arena. What’ll they think of next? –Brock Radke

or 17 years it has been standing tall along the Las Vegas Strip foodscape, though in the current era of celebrity chefs and ultra-hip concepts, the Eiffel Tower Restaurant tends to get dismissed as a simple tourist favorite. And yet when special occasions roll around—New Year’s Eve, for example—this is the place everyone wishes they would have booked for the big night. It’s quintessential Vegas. The elegant atmosphere and sweeping views of the Strip and Bellagio’s fountains are the obvious reasons to take the trip up the tower, but the classic cuisine of chef Jean Joho is the true

jewel heart of this dining destination. Start with a French favorite, a napoleon of Alaskan king crab and avocado or a cassolette of escargots. Indulge with the trio of Osetra caviar. Vegetarians might be surprised to find the delightful option of baked herb crepes with artichokes and roasted tomato coulis, while omnivores will relish the choice of Muscovy duck breast, Beef Wellington or the Rossini-style filet mignon with foie gras and truffle sauce. The current tasting menu offers eight courses of splendor, from a warm Maine lobster salad with black trumpet mushrooms to venison medallions with huckleberry sauce, capped off with the legendary

Eiffel Tower soufflé, a blissful cloud of sweetness that will linger in your memory until you return. Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris Las Vegas, 702-948-6937.

as Vegas Italian cuisine institution Ferraro’s and its family patriarch Gino Ferraro have been educating locals and tourists on the beauty of Italian wines for decades. Now, with the launch of the Il Circolo Wine Club, the Paradise Road restaurant takes its oenophilia to a new level. Members will experience a yearlong journey through Ferraro’s acclaimed collection, with a 20 percent discount on all wines purchased in the restaurant throughout 2017. They’ll also receive invites to monthly members-

only mixers. Perhaps the most exciting part of Il Circolo: Members who purchase at least one bottle a month from the club wine list will qualify for a chance to receive one of two trips for two to Tuscany and Piedmont, Italy, an all-expenses-paid, six-day trip with Gino and his wife, Rosalba, serving as guides. Tasting some of the best Italian wines in the world is something Ferraro’s patrons have been doing for years; sipping Barolos and Barbarescos in Piedmont is something else entirely. Considering the Il Circolo annual membership fee is just $100, the pos-

sibility of such an adventure is icing on the cake. And the more you dine and drink at Ferraro’s, the more times you’re entered to win the Italian wine country escape, set for spring 2018. Who knew Las Vegas and Italy could be so close? Ferraro’s, 4480 Paradise Road, 702-364-5300.
