Cole is an artist in perpetual motion, and the only direction is forward.
When he toured behind 2014 Forest Hills Drive in 2015, he performed the album in its entirety, playing against the traditional hiphop concert format which leans heavily on catalog hits. Cole has employed a similar tactic on his 4 Your Eyez Only tour, which rolls into MGM Grand Garden Arena this weekend. Although he has been a bit more generous in weaving in older fan favorites, he has still been starting his show with “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” “Immortal,” “Deja Vu” and “Ville Mentality,” the first four songs from his fourth studio album released in December.
Cole has always done his own thing musically, and his versatility and vision place him apart from the other huge names in today’s rap game. His style can’t be easily aligned with Drake, Chance or Kendrick, and his commercial success seems as unlikely as it is consistent. “What has made the emcee successful, besides an ability to craft great singles and solid albums, is likely simply his heterodoxy,” Kyle Petersen wrote in an essay for the Columbia, South Carolina, Free Times. “While Cole is quick to grandstand and mythologize like the greats, he doesn’t do it by donning a fake gangsta persona ... or philosophizing on contemporary race relations. Instead, he owns up to the smallness of his identity as much as the largeness of it.”
To borrow from a hip-hop cliché, keeping it real keeps Cole relatable. But being authentic also keeps his name on top. You’ll see it again coheadlining the Made in America Festival in Philadelphia in September, alongside a guy called Jay-Z. That’s largeness. J. Cole at MGM Grand Garden Arena, July 8. –Brock Radke

fter growing up in tiny Tonopah, Nevada, and graduating from UNLV, Jon Gray had only ever worked in the hospitality industry in Las Vegas. So when he got a call from Nike, he had to take it.
PHOTOGRAPH BY CHRISTOPHER DEVARGAS
“It was this cool opportunity where they wanted to build more of a service culture, and it was a global role,” he says. “It was an interesting opportunity for my family to see what it’s like to live outside Las Vegas and for me to travel the world. I learned a ton. It was like getting a doctorate in branding and marketing.”

G R A Y
Before making the move to Portland, Gray served as vice president and general manager for Caesars Entertainment’s Linq Promenade, but he was best known for working his way up from the front desk to George Maloof’s assistant at the Palms. So although he was enjoying life with Nike, he listened, once again, when the new owners of the Palms came calling. “I’ve always loved this place. It’s part of my DNA,” he says. “I was 21 years old when I started here, and all the personalities behind the Palms really helped shape who I am. So to see Station Casinos acquire it was really exciting, because in my mind that gives it the
best chance to take it to a level it’s never experienced.” Station bosses Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta also thought having Gray back in the fold would move the Palms in that direction, so they hired him as vice president and general manager. “There are a lot of things that made me feel very comfortable here, and it [feels like] my time here with the Maloofs,” Gray says. “Back then, there was a family feel we had from George and the executives. It was a family, and I see that here with this team, including the [Palms] team members who have been here since day one. You have to be passionate about what you do, so to see these people again and have that feel is really important to me.” The evolving off-Strip resort has already announced some restaurant changes, and that’s just the beginning. “That’s exciting, and entertainment is going to continue to play a major part of who we are. But I think what I’m most excited about is, this place is going to have personality.” –Brock Radke

his month marks the last time you’ll have the chance to see Mariah Carey’s #1 to Infinity production at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The iconic vocalist’s official Las Vegas headlining residency will wrap up with the July 18 performance of the show built around her 18 No. 1 hits, from “Vision of Love” in 1990 to “Touch My Body” in 2008. Giving you even more incentive to pick up tickets: Carey’s upcoming All the Hits tour with Lionel Richie, which kicks off July 21 in Oakland, isn’t scheduled to stop on the Strip.
Don’t despair, Mimi fanatics. Though nothing is certain when it involves the unpredictable performer, there are plans to bring Mariah back to the Colosseum for six holiday shows in December, capitalizing on her extensive—and beloved—Christmas catalog of music. A very Carey Christmas on the Las Vegas Strip sounds epic … is July too early to start writing letters to Santa? Mariah Carey: #1 to Infinity at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, July 8-18.

ames Alex isn’t your typical romantic. In fact, he’s far from it. For years he has made a living playing heavily distorted guitar in dive bars and basements across the country. And yet, through his Philly pop-punk quartet Beach Slang—one of the best-known names on the initial roster for November’s inaugural Emerge Music + Impact Conference—Alex’s curious, emotional musings feel like a modernized version of 1800s Romanticism. “We’re Beach Slang, and we’re here to punch you in the heart,” Alex said before launching into the existential “Throwaways” at Neon Reverb in Las Vegas last year. As the frontman and guitarist, he takes the fuzzed-out riffs of Dinosaur Jr., fuses them with bookish songwriting a la Jawbreaker and injects the swagger and
attitude of The Replacements to form a cocktail with a wallop. Beach Slang’s debut EP, 2014’s Who Would Ever Want Anything So Broken, received considerable acclaim from indie outlets like Pitchfork and PunkNews.org, but it was the band’s first full length, 2015’s The Things We Do to Find People Who Feel Like Us, that propelled the band to indie stardom—allowing it to hit the festival circuit and perform alongside such punk greats as Descendents and Green Day. Armed with an album’s worth of unreleased material, Beach Slang was poised for even more success … until it abruptly broke up in 2016. Fortunately, it was only temporary. After parting ways with two members, Beach Slang returned—stronger than ever. Alex commandeered Mean Creek guitarist
Aurore Ounjian and former Afghan Wigs/ Cursive drummer Cully Symington to tour behind a new record, last September’s A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings. The album expanded on Beach Slang’s punk formula by introducing Britpop songwriting sensibilities and twinkling leads from shoegaze, as heard in songs like the driving “Atom Bomb” and anthemic “Warpaint.” The result is a diverse album as gritty as it is romantic. –Ian Caramanzana Emerge Music + Impact Conference on the Las Vegas Strip, November 16-18.

or half a decade, throngs of diners have traversed the red chunnel from the Paris Las Vegas casino floor into the modern Gordon Ramsay Steak, making the symbolic journey from France to England in just steps. To celebrate his five-year anniversary on the Strip, the vociferous Scotsman unveiled a special tasting menu which has been so well-received, it has just been extended through the end of August. The celebration begins with a double amuse bouche: a saline Kumamoto oyster with red mignonette and one of Ramsay’s classics—a Scotch egg atop wine-braised cabbage. The pair demonstrates the hallmark precision for detail which has made the restaurant so successful, the light bivalve delicately balancing the rich British snack. The salad course—baby heirloom tomatoes mixed with burrata cheese, toasted pistachios, chive oil and roasted tomato vinaigrette—celebrates the season with summer flavors.
R a m s a y f i v e y e a r s
Next up: a seared scallop with a dollop of Kaluga caviar atop a savory carrot risotto. Lemon oil contributes hints of acidity, as the dish melds land and sea to great success. The main entrée, roasted beef Wellington, is a GR mainstay, the pastry-wrapped tenderloin served Rossini-style and topped with a generous slice of seared foie gras and umamiladen black truffle jus, a must dish from any Ramsay menu. The revelry ends with creamy vanilla mascarpone cheesecake accompanied by famed Harry’s Berries strawberries and an intriguing basil cream. The dessert demonstrates a subtlety not typically associated with the brash celebrity chef. Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris Las Vegas, 877-3464642; Sunday-Thursday 4:3010:30 p.m., Friday & Saturday 4:30 p.m.-midnight. –Jim Begley

Drai’s Beachclub, the luxurious rooftop dayclub at the Cromwell, is best known for serving up booming pool parties and maybe a few Champagne showers, but the Drai’s Cafe menu is something of a secret. It’s seasonal and delicious whether you’re enjoying a bite in your cabana, at a table overlooking the Strip or dipping your toes in the water. Summertime snacks like chicken wings—slow cooked and then fried for tender, crispy satisfaction—in traditional hot Buffalo or sweet and spicy Thai sauce, or piled-high nachos with jalapeños, sour cream and guacamole, are easy favorites. But edgier eats await, including tuna poke nachos on wonton chips with avocado and eel sauce; watermelon salad with Asian pear, papaya, arugula, lime juice and toasted sunflower seeds; and a crisp flatbread topped with
t h e
f o r c l u b
smoked salmon, créme fraîche, capers and lemon oil. Don’t skip the pulled barbecue chicken sliders—soft, sweet rolls stuffed with chicken, melted mozzarella, cilantro and red onion jam, addictive mini sandwiches you won’t want to share. Drai’s Cafe also offers breakfast, salads, sushi and sides from fresh fruit to sweet potato fries. Build your own beautiful poolside brunch spread, and add the Mango Daddy to the mix—a sweet and funky tequila cocktail with Casa Noble Crystal, elderflower liqueur and smoked sea salt. A day at Drai’s will leave you struggling to decide which part you like best: the music, the food or the views. Drai’s Cafe (at Drai’s Beachclub) at the Cromwell, 702777-3800; Monday-Thursday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Friday-Sunday 11 a.m.-6 p.m. –Brock Radke

arla Legaspi has been DJing in Las Vegas for almost a decade. Better known as DJ C-L.A., she’s one of the many locals who cut her teeth in the scene before electronic dance music exploded on the Strip. “I was here when the locals were the superstars,” she says. “And [they] kind of got pushed aside through the EDM movement.”
T E
Now, she’s predicting a return to the golden age. “There are so many great DJs who have seen the scene grow—it’s like a rebirth. Just like fashion, everything comes back around, and the locals are coming up again.” As for her initial foray into DJing, C-L.A. cut her teeth in LA nearly 15 years ago, spinning at weddings and corporate events during her last year of college. “I just did that on the side, and after I graduated, I moved to Las Vegas. [It wasn’t] until I met my friends who were DJs already that I was like, oh wow, I can be a DJ.” Now she’s one of Tao’s longest-running residents, and she’s no stranger to playing

all over the U.S. and beyond. “I used to go to the Bahamas once a month,” she says. “The exposure in Vegas is so huge and prevalent, because there are people who come from all over.” And most of the time, she says, “they’ve never seen a female who can play.” She brings some of that nightlife flavor to her latest residency at Crazy Horse III, adapting it for a gentlemen’s club. “In the nightclub you’re a puppet master of the dancefloor—you’re creating a vibe, and people are there to dance and pop bottles and celebrate.” Inside Crazy Horse III, she keeps things hip-hop-focused, dropping tracks from Drake, Future, Meek Mill and Gucci Mane. “I provide that club vibe, and the dancers love it because it’s different. I see them, and I know that they’re feeling the song that I’m playing.” –Leslie Ventura
