ame your top 5 MCs of all time. No matter who’s responding, Nas remains a part of the conversation. In a recent interview with Andre Harrell for Revolt TV’s “Music Talks,” the Queens lyrical legend was asked to name his favorite rappers from the current generation and quickly reeled off the names J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. Perhaps not coincidentally, his first pick, J. Cole, has been performing
L I G H T recently at Light, the Mandalay Bay nightclub that has been programming more hip-hop recently. It’s also the spot where you can find Nas himself Friday night. Clearly, the title of Nas’ 10-year-old album Hip Hop Is Dead is not a belief to which he currently subscribes. That could be further proven this year if he releases his first new album in four years. He told Harrell there’s a “very high percentage” that’ll happen:
“There’s something interesting about this year musically, and I want to play my part.” Nas at Light at Mandalay Bay, January 6. –Brock Radke

Js don’t just suddenly take over the dancemusic world. It typically takes more than a handful of hit tracks and a series of memorable shows to make an impact. The explosive success Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall have experienced in a relatively short time with a relatively small amount of music is closer to the dynamic arrival of a pop star. The Chainsmokers’ meteoric rise—behind ultra-catchy, quadruple-platinum smashes “Don’t Let me Down,” “Roses” and “Closer”— has most recently included winning the Favorite Electronic Dance Music Artist award at the American Music Awards and tallying three 2017 Grammy nominations for Best Dance Recording, Best Pop/Duo Performance and Best New Artist. The Chainsmokers ruled 2016, on the charts and in the clubs. Now, they’re taking their act to Wynn Nightlife on the Las Vegas Strip, signing on for an exclusive three-year residency at XS and Encore Beach Club through 2019. “We are so thrilled to have this
residency at the Wynn,” Pall said in a statement. “They represent the best of what Las Vegas has to offer, and we look forward to a great partnership.” The new era of the Chainsmokers in Vegas starts right away with their debut at XS this Friday night, January 6. “We’re excited to welcome the Chainsmokers to XS and Encore Beach Club,” said Alex Cordova, Wynn Nightlife executive vice president and managing partner. “Partnering with such talented and sought-after artists exemplifies Wynn Nightlife’s commitment to bringing world-class entertainment to our luxury venues.” The Chainsmokers at XS at Encore, January 6. –Brock Radke

t was nearly 10 years ago that I fell in love with Lady Gaga, through catchy pop-dance classics like “Poker Face,” “LoveGame” and “Bad Romance.” The romance continues with her soulful and visceral latest release, Joanne. I never thought I’d get to see and hear her perform the hits I’ve listened to on repeat for years, let alone up close in the luxurious Encore Theater in celebration of a new year. As soon as Gaga first took the stage on December 30, clad in a floor-length, hooded, backless gown that sparkled like a beacon, she captivated the show’s 1,000 attendees. Her voice sounded fantastic, better live than recorded, and she performed with New York jazz musicians Brian Newman and his quintet and Steve Wynn’s ShowStoppers orchestra. It was as if we’d been transported to the Prohibition era, with Gaga as time-traveling muse. The six-time Grammy winner opened with “Theme From New York, New York,” and whirled through favorites like classic show tune “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewil-
dered,” Cher’s “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” and Edith Piaf’s “La Vie en Rose,” which she dedicated to Mr. Wynn and sang almost entirely in French. There was also a brief piano performance during which Gaga began to play a rendition of “Bad Romance” before switching to “Million Reasons,” per an audience member’s request. We became her backup singers as she paused to let us fill in the lyrical gaps, a rare opportunity to become part of a dynamic performance— but I’ve always felt connected to her lyrics. I might have questioned her alien-like metamorphosis on Born This Way, but I’ve come to love and embrace her bold defiance of societal norms. Friday night marked an exceptional end to a year in need of her love, confidence and class. –Rosalie Spear

Her body-hugging designs have developed into coveted celebrity favorites, gracing the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Gigi Hadid, Beyoncé and, of course, the Kardashians.

Given its star-studded cult following, it was only a matter of time before the London boutique set up shop in Las Vegas. Opened in December inside the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood, House of CB caters to the sexy-yet-sophisticated woman, offering embellished nude-toned bodycon dresses, floor-length golden dusters and sexy lace-up bodysuits. J.Lo wore one of CB’s dresses on the cover of her 2014 album, A.K.A. Long gone are the early days of Walker’s online store. The Vegas location’s swanky, diamond-shaped ceiling lights, paired with gold, white and pink accents, make every item inside the boutique pop. There’s something here for every occasion: bondage-style straps, high-end fabrics, blush-toned bodysuits and figurehugging bandage dresses in deep ruby and emerald hues. No matter your style, House of CB seems to get one thing better than the rest: You don’t have to be a celebrity to be the center of attention. House of CB at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, 702-476-4600; Sunday-Thursday 10 a.m.11 p.m., Friday & Saturday 10 am.-midnight. –Leslie Ventura

id Conrad, a fixture at 1 OAK, the Bank, Foxtail, Liquid Pool Lounge and Clique Bar & Lounge, is an open-format DJ who leans more to the hip-hop side of the musical spectrum. But he’s likely to drop a track here or there during his set that will catch audiences off guard and defy expectations. “A lot of DJs have a hard time finding the EDM or twerk stuff that works for them, but I had a bit of background in that [world] before playing open format,” says the Las Vegas native also known as Sean Baker. One current go-to song that takes his mix in a different direction is “Long Distance,” something of a trap-house track from Scottish producer Sam Gellaitry from his 2015 EP Escapism. With its bassy bounce and Shabba Ranks sample, “Long Distance” isn’t
something you’ll hear in most Vegas clubs. “It’s in the kind of style I’ve been trying to produce lately,” Kid Conrad says. “If I was going to be playing my own stuff as an artist, it would be on this trip, kind of future-trap-bass stuff. Sonically, it’s just really deep, with these rich bass notes that are kind of hard to find right now. You’ll definitely want to listen to it on headphones.” Kid Conrad at Foxtail at SLS, January 6 & 7. –Brock Radke

aiding the Rock Vault producer Sir Harry Cowell believes he has found the perfect home for the musical tribute show featuring the music of The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Queen and more of biggest names in rock history. And it’s hard to argue. The show starts its new run inside Vinyl at the Hard Rock Hotel in March. “We couldn’t have picked a more fitting show to bring to Vinyl,” Chas Smith, vice president of entertainment at Hard Rock Hotel, said in
a statement. “Hosting a full-scale production in an intimate venue like Vinyl will give fans an up-close rock ’n’ roll experience like they’ve never seen before.” Raiding the Rock Vault, which has run at the Westgate and Tropicana resorts before this latest move, tells the story of classic rock from the 1960s through the ’80s, performed by members of some well-known veteran rock bands. The show’s rotating lineup includes guitarist Howard Leese (Heart), a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member; guitarist Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake,
Dio); vocalist Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot); drummer Jay Schellen (Asia, Badfinger); bassist Hugh McDonald (Bon Jovi); and guitarist Tracii Guns (Guns N’ Roses, L.A. Guns). The show begins its new life at Vinyl March 11 and will run Saturday through Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. Ticket info can be found at axs.com.

tick to the classics, but do things your own way. Chef Michael LaPlaca has been doing that for years at Portofino, the Mirage’s somewhat overlooked, consistently spectacular Italian restaurant. The chef applied the same methodology in designing last year’s LVB burger joint, and the delicious results await. Among the many upscale burger bars on the Strip, LVB is a standout. Before you even get to one of the stacked-high, satisfying burger options, the snacks indicate things are different here. There’s no good reason not to combine a cheeseburger and
an eggroll, and that crunchy hybrid bliss can be found in LVB’s Boulevard Rolls. Mini oyster po’ boy sandwiches and Cajun-buffalo spiced chicken wings are tempting, too. For the main event, consider the AAA burger—those three letters stand for Angus beef, applewood-smoked bacon and arugula. There’s decadent boursin cheese and tangy sundried tomatoes on this burger, too. The Kick in the Kisser brings the heat, topped with pickled jalapeños, sriracha aioli and pepperjack cheese, but it’s an evenly balanced bite thanks to avocado, a fried egg and crisp onions.
Crazy-flavorful salmon, turkey, mushroom and duck burgers offer options for those who walk a different path. But if you’re chasing boldly beefy burgers, LVB’s eponymous sandwich will get you there, a patty topped with American cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles and “boulevard sauce.” LVB Burgers & Bar at the Mirage, 702-792-7888; SundayThursday 11 a.m.-midnight, Friday & Saturday 11 a.m.-2 a.m. –Brock Radke

ne taste of the simple, sunshine-colored cocktail called Let’s Elope lets you know the Dorsey is something special. Acclaimed barman Sam Ross’ menu lists it among Light & Bright offerings, and that couldn’t be a more accurate description of this beautiful combination of gin, lime, orgeat almond syrup and the unlikely ingredient of fresh cantaloupe. Let’s Elope is only a starting point at the Dorsey, the energetic 4,500-square-foot space that opened last week at the Venetian, giving the megaresort the one F&B puzzle piece it lacked—a sexy cocktail bar,
that perfect meeting point before a night that could go on to include a memorable meal, show or nightclub experience. But the Dorsey is so cool and comfortable, you might not want to leave. Other cocktail standouts on our first tasting include the smoky, buzzy Caballo Blanco, with tequila, mezcal, pineapple and ginger; the classic Penicillin, a blend of Scotch, lemon, ginger and honey; and the Harajuku, which mixes Japanese whiskey and chocolate bitters with Gran Classico amaro and the red wine-based apertíf Byrrh Quinquina. There are Champagne cocktails, punches for groups
served in copper flamingos, carefully curated craft beers and drinks spiked with cold-brewed coffee, too. It’ll take quite a few visits to make all the necessary discoveries and establish new favorites at the Dorsey. Good thing we’re going to be here a lot. The Dorsey at the Venetian, 866-659-9643; daily 2 p.m.-4 a.m. –Brock Radke

he Minus5 Ice Experience at Monte Carlo is 1,200 square feet of intricately detailed ice. There are four locations around the country, but there’s only one ice sculptor making the experience as unique as it can be.
for Pizzuto’s wedding.
Kurt Herbolsheimer wasn’t always a master of ice. He began as a chef, and in his teenage years he owned a catering company. The inspiration to change careers came from renowned ice sculptor Michael Pizzuto, who was dating Herbolsheimer’s high school culinary class instructor and performed a live demonstration for the students. A couple years later, Herbolsheimer created ice sculptures
In 2014, Herbolsheimer joined Minus5; he currently manages the Monte Carlo property. Each year, he single-handedly renovates all four locations—it’s also at Mandalay Bay, in New York City and in Pointe Orlando, Florida—with entirely new sections and themes. The current Alaskan wilderness theme at Monte Carlo, which he finished installing in August, includes an igloo bar, an 8-foot totem
“Ice can always be anything,” he says. “You’re only limited by your imagination. [Ice is] very forgiving but can be very temperamental as well. ... It’s very ephemeral, constantly changing.”
pole and a sculpted bear catching a real salmon encapsulated in ice. While Minus5’s patrons revel in his frozen creations, Herbolsheimer feels content with the praise from just one person—his 21-year-old daughter. “A bunch of the girls at her school said her dad has the coolest job in the world. It was the most popular topic on campus for a while,” he says with a laugh. –Rosalie Spear
