un through three recent songs assembled by superproducer Diplo, and it’s hard to tell if they all came from the same artist. There’s “Waist Time,” a throbbing bass-house collaboration with Toronto’s AutoErotique, a fuzzed-over, robo-dancehall track. There’s a chilled-out remix of MØ’s “Final Song,” with Jauz; and there’s the futuristic, icy R&B ballad “Nothing Without You,” produced for The Weeknd’s Starboy. Diplo’s dramatic range helps explain why he’s the most sought-after musical mind in the game today, no
matter the genre. It’s also the reason Wynn Nightlife brought Diplo and his hitmaking “side project” Major Lazer back as 2017 residents. In February, Diplo’s up for two Album of the Year Grammys for his production on Beyoncé’s widely acclaimed Lemonade and Justin Bieber’s comeback effort, Purpose. Major Lazer’s next album, Music Is the Weapon, doesn’t have a release date yet (it’s expected in the first quarter), but it has already scored with the Bieber/MØ feature “Cold Water.” One thing is certain: It will have all types of sounds and songs.
“A great artist is someone who can change the direction of music, not someone who stays the same all the time,” Diplo told NME last year. “Otherwise music would be so f*cking boring.” Diplo at XS at Encore, January 21.

Originally from Cinnaminson Township, New Jersey, Chapin attended West Point, worked in engineering and real estate and has lived in Korea, Missouri and Arizona. “I grew up in a musical family. We all sang and played instruments, and we were athletic and took our studies seriously,” he says. “I have a lot of different interests.” His musicality might have planted the original seed for his current calling. In high school, he teamed with some friends and “approached a restaurant and convinced them to hire us as singing waiters,” he says. “We would serve food and just break out in song now and again. Something clicked then, though I might not have known it, that we were entertaining but kind of freestyling what we wanted to do. There was a kind of rush to it, seeing the looks on people’s faces.” You can witness those same expressions of enjoyment on the faces of the thousands who attend Motley Brews events. Chapin founded the company in 2010 after landing in Las Vegas a few years earlier while working for a home builder. He had developed

a passion exploring the craft-beer scene in Phoenix and saw some space to help build something special in Vegas, the results of which will be on display at the Downtown festival— which expands to two days for the first time this year, April 7 and 8. “I realized beer can be a portal into local culture,” Chapin says. “Back in 2010, it was like nobody even knew about craft beer. There weren’t many events like this.” In recent years, Motley has expanded its footprint to Southern California, and Chapin is thinking even bigger. Production Theory, sort of the parent company of Motley Brews, is set to expand its reach, too, with some larger-scale events. Next up: the Mint 400, the classic desert off-road race, which will receive a premium F&B event upgrade March 1-5. “We’re seeing the need for brands outside our own that want someone to help provide extraordinary experiences for their consumers,” Chapin says. “We’re looking to be that experiential arm for brands in the region while also looking to create our own events.” –Brock Radke

he San Diego nightlife scene has been ramping up in recent years, and it’s about to get another big boost when the highly anticipated Pendry boutique hotel debuts in the Gaslamp Quarter. Leading its offerings is Oxford Social Club, another collaboration between Las Vegas-based Clique Hospitality and the 81/82 Group, powerful forces that united to open Clique Lounge at the Cosmopolitan a little more than a year ago. But where Cosmo’s Clique is something of a reinvented ultralounge, Oxford is a full-on nightclub, says 81/82 partner Jason “JRoc” Craig.
D I E G O
“It’s definitely a different project and bigger, and being in a different market has meant spending a lot of time [in San Diego] really understanding the differences. ... The nightlife in San Diego is really starting to elevate, and the newer venues have started paying more attention to the talent game and getting more involved with service and making standards better than before. Hopefully, our level of customer service will step that up even more.” Craig and Ryan Labbe, who will also oversee the Pendry’s Pool House outdoor oasis, are building the 418-capacity boutique club experience around its stylish atmosphere and, of course,
a high hospitality standard. “Oxford Social Club is about the experience, head to toe,” Labbe says. “The [musical] talent will be one layer of the experience—it could range from a notable local or regional DJ to a Vice or a Politik to some cool, unannounced pop-up acts. It’s all going to hinge on the venue, though, the ambience and level of hospitality provided for each guest. Every person who walks in needs to feel like this is their venue.” –Brock Radke

t isn’t every day a 22-yearold gets a private tour of restaurant Joël Robuchon, then gets offered a job two weeks later—but that’s exactly what happened when chef Wilfried Bergerhausen came to Las Vegas on vacation in 2008. Less than a month later, Bergerhausen had moved here from France to work at MGM Grand’s most prestigious dining destination. In 2014, Bergerhausen became executive chef of Bellagio’s quintessential French restaurant Le Cirque. “We always get excited, not for an item but an idea,” he says of the renowned New York City offshoot. “We try to not only focus on the flavor, but also the season. What is the meaning of the season? It’s not only one ingredient, but the whole idea and the whole concept.”
To understand his perspective, Bergerhausen recommends the dégustation menu—five courses featuring options like sautéed foie gras with poached rhubarb and white chocolate gastrique; carnarolli risotto with Alba white truffles; and braised veal cheeks with black trumpet mushrooms. “I get bored very fast, so I’m always trying to work on something different,” he says. Even on the rare occasion when he isn’t at Le Cirque, Bergerhausen stays focused on what’s next. “Every week I try to go somewhere else. I travel to see the different restaurants and see what’s going on. It’s always in the back of the head, even if you want to relax.” It’s the life of a chef, he says. “That’s what we do.” –Leslie Ventura
R R C E For Le Cirque, presentation is key— something Bergerhausen brings from his origins in pastry. “There is a lot of technique in pastry,” he says. “They are much more delicate with the presentation, so that’s the route that I take. You eat with your eyes before you try the food. If it doesn’t look good, I’m not going to get excited.”

he 10th anniversary edition of Calibash, touted as the leading Latin urban music concert in the world, is going down this Saturday, January 21 at the Staples Center in LA, and—no surprise—it’s sold out. After all, the headliners are major names like Puerto Rican singer and actor Don Omar, Bronx-born pop star Prince Royce and Cuban reggaeton group Gente De Zona. But the 10th year is extra big for Calibash, because it’s also coming to Las Vegas for the first time for a January 26 show at T-Mobile Arena, where interna-
tional icon Ricky Martin joins the bill. For Vegas, it’s another megashow that might not have found a home without the addition of the arena. (The Calibash Vegas bill also includes Wisin, CNCO, Zion Y Lenox, Osmani Garcia, Divan, Chacal, Nicky Jam, Arcangel, Farruko and many more.) For Martin, who just wrapped up his year-and-ahalf One World Tour in December, it will be a warm-up for what’s to come. In April, the celebrated Puerto Rican entertainer will begin his resident show just a few steps away at the Park Theater at Monte Carlo.
“Every song is going to be a completely different experience, but they’ll all be interconnected,” Martin said, describing plans for the show during November’s announcement press conference. “We’re going to flirt a little with the history of Vegas, mixing it with what I am and what I represent and what brought me here. It will be a hell of a spectacle.” Calibash Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena, January 26.

here’s a place for the avant garde in every city. From New York to LA, Chicago to Detroit, there’s an underground current that winds through venues and parties, warehouses and dancehalls, tied together by its disregard for the mainstream and admiration for sounds left of the dial. In Las Vegas, the underground dance scene exists out of sheer necessity, a response to the tourist-populated Strip. But its momentum continuously ebbs and flows. Soft Leather founder Johnny Love—the Chicago-based DJ, king of the “health goth” movement and ringleader of the electro-hardcore
group Deathface—saw Downtown Las Vegas as the next frontier for his provocative monthly LGBT-inclusive dance party. Word of the party, held at video dance bar Oddfellows, spread quickly. “It keeps getting more popular each time,” says Vegas DJ Brock Goldstein, who began organizing Soft Leather Vegas after Love reached out to him four months ago. “Dance party-wise, I [didn’t] really see a place for the hip, counterculture kids to go out and dance all night,” says Goldstein, who also DJs the event. “It seemed like that was really missing.”
“The inspiration, image-wise, [comes from] the New York club kids of the ’90s,” Goldstein adds. “A lot of people hear Soft Leather and think fetish, BDSM. That’s not really what it’s about.” The music, however—disco, acid house, juke and more—is sexual, energetic and always changing. From full body paint and fishnets to leather harnesses and chokers, anything goes. Soft Leather returns to Oddfellows on January 26. –Leslie Ventura

urtles have longevity. They carry their home on their back, and they stick their neck out to move forward,” LAYOP founder Andre Thomas says. “Then they make progress.” That explains the chilled-out, green turtle emblazoned on the clothing brand’s T-shirts. The acronym, which stands for Live at Your Own Pace, is the driving force behind the Vegasbased lifestyle company, which opened its doors last September at Downtown Container Park. Just like their turtle mascot, Thomas and co-owner JimDre Westbrook are laid-back but inspiring, dedicated to motivating others
through simple, clean designs. “We always did things at our own pace,” Westbrook says. Known as the “Worth the Wait Guy,” Westbrook isn’t just co-owner of a clothing store. He’s a motivational speaker and a life coach. The pair’s driven demeanor has been woven into the brand’s very fabric. “It’s really about the message,” Thomas says. “Pace is a movement. When you find your pace, you’ll know you found it, because you’ll love it. That’s what moves you.” With a minimalist aesthetic similar to American Apparel’s, LAYOP stocks ba-
sics like crew necks, raglans, graphic tees and hoodies in an assortment of colors. Best-sellers include screenprinted tees featuring Eazy-E, Richard Pryor and Jackie Robinson, three icons who definitely lived at their own speed. “We’re not telling people to go fast, we’re not telling people to go slow,” Thomas says. “But find your pace and embrace it unapologetically. As long as you’re moving forward, that’s the inspiration.” LAYOP at Downtown Container Park, layop.com. –Leslie Ventura

ast year was a special dining occasion for me; 2016 marked a decade of writing about Las Vegas restaurants. After eating so much fantastic food in so many electric environments on and off the Strip, the years start to blur together, but the restaurants don’t. Certain dishes and flavors will forever stand out in my mind. One of my most memorable meals of 2016 came in a return to Costa di Mare at Wynn Las Vegas—where I experienced the Giro d’Italia tasting menu from chef Mark LoRusso, voted
Las Vegas’ best chef last year by the Southern Nevada Hotel Concierge Association. Each dish in the precise sequence seemed to up the ante of bold creativity, from tender cuttlefish over squid ink-splashed polenta to grilled octopus with a bright red pepper sauce. The menu takes a tour of Italy’s coastline, forcing Sardinia’s red mullet, bottarga and mussel-topped risotto to compete with Tuscany’s pappardelle with Chianti-braised shortrib ragu to become your favorite. I couldn’t choose. After 10 years of eating everything
Las Vegas has to offer, I’ve developed an undying appreciation for the talent and diligence required to create all these magnificent meals. While Wynn’s impeccable restaurants have consistently shined on my watch, Costa di Mare is a true rarity, a singular dining experience. Costa di Mare at Wynn, 702-770-3305; daily 5:3010 p.m. –Brock Radke

kyfall, the lounge and cocktail bar atop the gleaming gold Delano Las Vegas tower, certainly has a hard time transcending its reputation of the place with the best views. That’s not to take away from the grandness of that 180-degree perspective on the Strip and the Vegas Valley below. But Skyfall has a lot more to offer; its uniqueness as a nightlife venue isn’t limited to the gorgeous scenery. Skyfall essentially evolves its experience throughout the course of each night. The period from 5 to 7 p.m.—happy hour at your neighborhood pub—is known as Sunset Hour here,
for obvious reasons, but select specialty cocktails (like the Side Step, made with tequila, yellow chartreuse, honey and lemon) along with beer, wine and bar bites, are heavily discounted. On Friday nights beginning at 8, Absolute Elyxx cocktails and rosé wine and bubbly are highlighted. And every night at 9, a DJ takes over, and vibrant house music brings sizzle to the scene. Skyfall’s cocktails are among the most refined on the Strip, engineered by the same team that launched hot spots Death & Company in New York City and Honeycut in LA. Classic martinis are crafted with precision, groups can share effervescent
punch bowls and those looking for creative flavors can experiment with concoctions like the Spiced Eclipse— jalapeño-infused Espolon Blanco, aloe liqueur, cucumber, lime juice and salt. Looking for something more traditional? The Compass Course refreshes with Absolut, watermelon, Lillet Blanc, lemon, mint and seltzer. There’s as much beauty in your glass as out those windows. Skyfall Lounge at Delano Las Vegas, 877-632-5400; Sunday-Thursday 5 p.m.-midnight, Friday & Saturday 5 p.m.-1 a.m.

olly Bergman has been taking lessons from a very young age. The Las Vegas native took up the piano at age 5—she soon extended to guitar after catching a Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana concert at MGM Grand—and she was only 3 when she took her first tennis lesson, with renowned Las Vegas coach Marty Hennessy at Turnberry Place. “As I got older, I started hanging out with the kids from Marty’s foundation program,” says Bergman, now 14. “We went to the Davis Cup in San Diego to support the USA team. I tried to emulate Kimberly Yee’s killer backhand; at that time she was the No. 1 player in her age division in the country.” Bergman, the daughter of legendary comedian and longtime Vegas headliner Rita Rudner, says her musical and athletic endeavors continue to collide. “Every summer my parents help host a leadership retreat for the [Marty Hennessy Junior Tennis Foundation], and somehow we always end up singing songs around a fire pit
t o
o t h e r l o v e
or on the beach with me on guitar. The foundation was the first group I shared my original songs with, and its encouragement really inspired me.” The result of that inspiration is California Girl, Bergman’s first EP, proceeds from which she’s donating to Hennessy’s children’s tennis foundation. The music is available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify and more. “I was very nervous ... recording anything at 14 seems presumptuous,” she says. “However, the opportunity to do something for the foundation convinced me to go into the studio. ... I’ve had a blessed childhood, but some of the foundation’s kids have had bumpier rides. I’m really pleased that my album is a way people can choose to help support it.” –Brock Radke

One of the Strip’s most beloved shows passed the decade mark last year, and on January 10, The Beatles Love celebrated its 5,000th performance at the Mirage—that means nearly 8 million guests have been witness to its musical magic. Cirque du Soleil Senior Vice President Jerry Nadal made a special appearance to thank the cast and crew with a Champagne toast and five-layer cake from Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak. ... The Tropicana’s Sky Beach Club is coming back strong after its first season in 2016 and will hold a casting call at the resort’s Havana Room on January 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Applicants can apply online at troplv.com/las-vegas/careers-employment. ... Honey Salt, the neighborhood favorite from restaurateur power couple Elizabeth Blau and Kim Canteenwalla, is set to open its second location at the JW Marriott at massive entertainment and leisure development Parq Vancouver. ... The Sommelier Smackdown competition will return to Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at Downtown Summerlin in February. Some of Las Vegas’ top wine experts will show off their pairing skills with dishes by Chef Spencer Rudow. The championship final is set for April 4.
