rench Montana says he knew from the second the beat dropped that “Unforgettable” was going to be a monster. “I knew when I heard it for the first time it was a big record. I just fell in love with it,” says the Moroccanborn, South Bronx-bred rapper and producer. “That’s always how I judge music, from the first time listening to it. That record is like God planned it.” Also featuring Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee, “Unforgettable” has been certified platinum twice over. It’s Montana’s first track to go Top 10, currently sitting at No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100. For many hiphop fans, it’s easily the song of the summer, and while plenty of artists are putting their own spin on it, Montana snagged Mariah Carey for help on the official remix. But he’s not resting on his biggest hit ever, having recently released a video for follow-up “A Lie” featuring The Weeknd, an artist with whom
t o
V e g a s
Montana has previously collaborated. “We worked on ‘Gifted’ from my first album. I just love how we’ve been friends since he started, and we both grew so much bigger,” Montana says. “It’s a beautiful thing to come up with your people. It’s a real collaboration now, not just featuring somebody. It was perfect timing.” Montana also has perfect timing in returning to his residency at Marquee Nightclub for Labor Day weekend. He has been performing at Tao Group venues for years now and has no plans to change anything. “I’ll be in Vegas forever. I might shoot Casino Part 2,” he jokes. “But it’s one of my top five places, like a different universe. I record a lot of music when I’m there, too. It’s just got that vibe that makes me want to stay.” French Montana at Marquee at Cosmopolitan, September 2. –Brock Radke

ast week—August 25, to be exact—marked the 25th anniversary of the release of “Real Love” as a single, Mary J. Blige’s first Top 10 hit and the song that defined her sound and led to her eventual title of Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. Once those uplifting piano chords hit on top of that hard, funky beat sampled from Audio Two’s “Top Billin’,” an instant classic was born. Add Blige’s warm, buttery vocals, equal parts confident and vulnerable, and it’s impossible not to sing along to “Real Love” all these years later. The timeless track still stands tall, because everyone can relate to the honesty and hopefulness Blige injects into her music. When her Strength of a Woman tour lands at the Pearl Friday night, she’ll be singing plenty of
h o n e s t y
songs from her 13th studio album of the same name, released in April and recorded during the breakup of her marriage. She has always found some catharsis in recording and performing, and her fans find strength and inspiration in her soulful sounds. “If I make it through hell and I come out alive, I got nothing to fear,” she sings on “Thick of It,” the lead single from Strength of a Woman, and it feels like her fans are right there with her, supporting her struggle ... or maybe she’s supporting them. Mary J. Blige at the Pearl at the Palms, September 1.

omedy megastar Kevin Hart’s fourth-annual Hartbeat Weekend takeover of the Cosmopolitan September 1-3 might just be the biggest one yet. It starts Friday with a concert at the Chelsea from Usher, last seen in Las Vegas performing at Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel and currently in the studio with longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri working on new music. Hart hosts an official concert afterparty at Marquee Friday night before turning up to host a pool party at Tao Beach across the Strip at Venetian Saturday. Then the jokes start coming. Hart and his comedy pals perform at the Chelsea Saturday night before he turns the mic over to the great Dave Chappelle for a Sunday night stand-up show. That’s two Vegas shows in just four months for Chappelle, who played Mandalay Bay Events Center in May. Of course, Hart will sprinkle in appearances with French Montana at Marquee Saturday night and at Topgolf Las Vegas on Sunday, truly making the city his own. Is it possible to be a one-man Rat Pack?

t’s no secret that our favorite time to party in Las Vegas during Labor Day Weekend is the holiday itself, on Monday, when the clubs are still packed but the vibe is more celebratory than explosive. And night is better than day, because the weekend warriors will be catching flights home while the rest of us dance the night away. At Wynn and Encore, the weekend mega-lineup (The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Kygo, Major Lazer, David Guetta, Alesso and others) concludes
at XS on Monday night with none other than Diplo, and that seems like the perfect DJ for this party. Why? Because no matter what he’s up to, from sacrificial spoofs via Viceland show What Would Diplo Do? to wooing Rihanna in interviews to working on a disco-focused album with Mark Ronson, Diplo’s always coming back to Wynn, always playing big weekend sets like this one, forever soundtracking the Strip’s parties. And he seems particularly
fond of Vegas at the moment. “It’s changed a lot,” he recently told GQ. “The whole tide of that music is turning towards what me and my crew are doing. So I’m not mad at Vegas.” Diplo at XS at Encore, September 4.

ike many teenagers, Omar Banos doesn’t have a conventional sleep schedule. But unlike many teens, it’s for reasons other than boisterous high school parties or the mindless fun of video game marathons. Banos stays up late for band practice. At 19 , he’s the leader and principal songwriter for Cuco, the LA-based indie/ synthwave project that has drawn kudos from rapper Kevin Abstract and The Internet’s guitarist, Steve Lacy. Since releasing its first mixtape Wannabewithu in 2016, Cuco has gone from support slots at tiny venues to headlining a sold-out show at fabled DIY venue The Smell.
“We’re just total night owls. Band practice usually starts around 11 or 12 and ends around 3 or 4 in the morning,” Bano says. The nocturnal vibes often shine through in Cuco’s songs; many of them are downtempo numbers that seamlessly pair moody melodies with a brooding sense of melancholy. Songs like “We Had to End It” and “Lover Is a Day” are ballads that detail heartbreak and failed relationships. Many songs, such as latest single “Lo Que Siento,” contain lyrics in English and Spanish, a decision that Banos says “happens entirely naturally.” While his music and work ethic reflect a sense of maturity, he oozes a youthful conceit. “I record everything and play
all the instruments by myself,” he says. “I like moving around onstage, though, so I called four homies to be my band, and we’ve been doing that since.” –Ian Caramanzana Emerge Music + Impact Conference on the Las Vegas Strip, November 16-18. Tickets available now at emergelv.com.

uy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar is known for its big, bold burgers, especially the bourbon brown sugar barbecue sauce-topped Ringer Burger and the piled-high Bacon Mac-NCheese Burger. But the newest burger on the menu can give those favorites a run for their money. The Breakfast Burger has everything you would expect and more. A halfpound patty mounted on a toasted garlic brioche bun gets a lot of help from cheddar cheese, eggs, bacon,
tomatoes and onions. And then things start to get a little crazy. The eggs are scrambled, nothing like the done-todeath, runny-yolk fried egg. In fact, it’s more of a delicate omelet, with a tender texture that takes you offguard. The bacon is chicken-fried— crispy, crunchy, salty and totally over the top. The burger also gets a ladle full of peppery sausage gravy, and a mound of fresh spinach tossed in red wine vinaigrette. Add a squirt of Fieri’s signature Donkey Sauce, and you’re ready to go.
B I T E You know this famous TV chef, and you might think you know what to expect at his restaurant, but Fieri and his team can see you coming and they’re always ready to blow you away with fantastic flavors. Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar at the Linq, 702794-3139; daily 9 a.m.-midnight.

here are two Champagnelinked events that NBA legend Isiah Thomas will always remember. In June 1989, he won the first of back-to-back titles with the Detroit Pistons. And in August 2017, he took in his first-ever Bellagio fountains show at Hyde, with me. Okay, maybe that second one wasn’t as big a deal, but the Champagne being served at Bellagio was probably better than the stuff he sprayed around the locker room with his teammates. Thomas was in Las Vegas to debut the Cheurlin Flagship Collection at the MGM Resorts luxury property. The Chairman and CEO of Isiah International has been importing the quality
bubbly for several years and was named Champagne Producer of the Year during this year’s New York International Wine Competition. Now Bellagio is the only resort in Vegas to carry the Cheurlin brand. “I couldn’t have planned it better,” the basketball icon says. “When MGM and Bellagio said they wanted to have it here at Hyde, it really let me know what they thought of the product and of the family, which has been making Champagne since 1788. They pick it off the vine, they make it right there on the premises, and we bring it over here and let you taste it.” Thomas wasn’t necessarily looking to get into the bubbly biz, but the product sold itself. “When you look at the competi-
tion, there isn’t [much] out there, and there’s only a certain amount of land in Champagne,” he said. “This family has 200 acres. So there’s consistency in the grapes coming from one vineyard; you don’t have to mix grapes from different regions, and that let me know I was getting the highest quality that could possibly be served. And it’s been confirmed—we have a 90-plus rating across our portfolio of Champagnes.” –Brock Radke

As the director of the Studio at the Palms, Zoe oversees all the magic that happens inside those soundproofed walls, from sessions with Beyoncé and Lady Gaga to Lil Wayne and more. Her engineer husband, Pat—who has played guitar as part of rock band Asia and on tour with Meatloaf—has worked behind the scenes with pop titans like Britney Spears and The-Dream, and he scored credits on Frank Ocean’s Grammy Awardwinning Channel Orange.

as Vegas hasn’t always been considered a creative hub, but Zoe and Pat Thrall might tell you otherwise.
N T R A T E D
You’ve worked with some of the world’s biggest artists. How do you keep things running smoothly? Zoe: It is the creative process, so once they’re in here and the creative juices are flowing, anything is possible. The best thing we can do is give them their privacy and just create the environment for all that creative juice to come out. It’s my job to make sure that they’re as relaxed as possible.
Pat: Because studios have been dwindling over the last decade or so, a lot of people that would’ve been studio musicians in Los Angeles 10 or 15 years ago come out here to work on all these shows. There is something about all this, especially if you’re a musician, that has an appeal. There’s really unique stuff that happens here. How is the Studio at the Palms different from other studios? Pat: With this studio, people were freaked out when we first came here. They were like, ‘This studio is going to be a disaster. Artists are going to come out there and they’re going to be doing too many drugs and partying, they’re not going to get any work done.’ And then what happened? The Killers did their album here, and their producers—Alan Moulder and Flood—said it was one of the best recording experiences they’d ever had. That kind of changed the game here. –Leslie Ventura For more of this interview, visit lasvegasweekly.com.
Is Las Vegas a creative epicenter? Zoe: Absolutely. Look at the artists that have come out of here, first of all.
