NOTES

From the Editor Expect the Unexpected

No matter how well you think you know this town, it continually finds ways to surprise you. That’s a huge part of why so many tourists keep coming back for more. Think about it this way: Twenty years ago, you could enjoy the magic of Siegfried & Roy; 10 years ago, you’d be enjoying the pipes of Celine Dion and Elton John and this year, you’re buying your tickets for Lady Gaga and Pitbull. That’s just live performances! The same goes for production shows, restaurants, nightlife and much more. It’s also what makes working at Las Vegas Magazine so enjoyable; our staff gets the pleasure of introducing you to these exciting additions on a weekly basis. This week’s issue is a perfect example of that, starting with editor at large Brock Radke’s feature on the Strip’s newest performer: Donny Osmond, returning as a solo act after performing here for 11 years with sister Marie (“A Real Crowd-Pleaser,” p. 32). Even if you saw Donny & Marie at Flamingo several times over the years, trust us: His Harrah’s show is going to surprise you in ways you didn’t see coming. Then turn to associate editor Kiko Miyasato’s collection of some of the Strip’s newest additions, from shows and bars to drink specials (“What’s New,” p. 22). And while you probably know by now that Aria has quite an impressive collection of

art, wait until you read managing editor Nina King’s Spotlight piece on the newest installation (“Bear Crossing,” p. 14). And if you’re a fan of the Las Vegas Raiders, check out King’s feature on the best places to enjoy some gridiron action (“Fun, Food & Football,” p. 38)—you’ll truly be surprised by how many new entertainment options there are. Elsewhere in this issue, you’ll find something for everybody. Fans of classic cars will want to buy a ticket to Mecum Auction’s event at the Las Vegas Convention Center (“Sold in 60 Seconds?” p. 30). Classic rock fans will want to snag a ticket to catch Rod Stewart as he returns to his successful Caesars Palace residency (“He’s in Our Heart,” p. 36). And for one of the funniest, raunchiest, most entertaining shows around, check out Atomic Saloon Show at The Grand Canal Shoppes (“A Wild West Romp,” p. 11). How about a great restaurant? This issue is packed full of them, from Mott 32 at The Palazzo (“A World Away,” p. 24) and Mr Chow at Caesars Palace (“What’s in a Name?” p. 10) to Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris (“French Twist,” p. 13). As you experience our city this week, just know this: We enjoy making new discoveries just as much as you do. And no other city delivers that like Las Vegas.

Get Happy! When a show opens with the tune “If You’re Happy and You Know It” blasting through the speakers, there’s a certain silliness and enjoyment that takes over—and this silliness and enjoyment is a high that lasts throughout The Mac King Comedy Magic Show.

While King possesses the air of an unassuming magician, looking more like a 1970s salesman with his plaid suit and briefcase full of tricks, he sets the stage afire with his impressive skills. Whether it’s the bit where he goes “fishing” and conjures up a real gold-

fish at the end of his fishing pole or guesses the correct audience member’s playing card and pulls it out of a sealed cereal box, King’s parade of illusions and corny jokes constantly leaves the audience stunned—and laughing, too. –Kiko Miyasato

What’s in a Name? Whether you are looking for traditional Chinese cuisine, or want a little twist, you’ll find it at Mr Chow. The Vegas incarnation of the famous chain of restaurants (formed by Michael Chow beginning in the ’60s), incorporates modern sensibilities in décor and menu. The dining area features an enormous chandelier that acts as an art installation, periodically turning the piece into a light show (you really need to see this). The menu plays with traditional dishes and more modern takes on those, with sections such as Hors D’Oeuvres, From the Sky, From the Land and From the Sea, and the playful Pasta section, where you’ll find handmade Beijing noodles, billed as being introduced to the West by Mr Chow in 1968, plus pot stickers, Jade water dumplings and signature squid ink rice noodles. Best bets on the rest of the menu include Gamblers Duck with steamed pancakes and plum sauce; dressed Dungeness crab in a fluffy bed of egg whites; crispy beef; drunken fish and green prawns. For the whole experience, get a prix fixe Beijing Duck dinner, which is roasted to order. –Nina King

This is just one of the backdrops perfect for selfies inside the cooler-than-cool (literally!) Minus5 Ice Experience at The Grand Canal Shoppes.

Besides the tropical backdrop, guests can check out the different ice sculpture throughout, including some Star Warsthemed pieces, and tuck away inside igloo-type lounging spots. Different packages are available, as there is an entrance fee. Before 9 p.m., families with kids in tow are welcome. –Kiko Miyasato The Venetian, 702.293.3388

One of the Las Vegas Strip’s longest-running adult revues is still heating up the night after 20 years. “X” Burlesque features some of the most beautiful women you’ve ever seen, showing off amazing athletic skills to songs like “Uptown Funk” and “Would You?” And slower numbers are equalling enticing. But it’s not all titillation—there’s also comedy midway through the show, courtesy of Nancy Ryan, and a very funny “Mile High Club” segment involving an audience volunteer. Join the sexy fun! –Ken Miller Flamingo, 21+, 702.777.2782

A Wild West Romp

Show entertains in the most inappropriate, delightful way You want to take a trip to the naughty side of the Wild West? The raunchy, racy, rambunctious ride that is Atomic Saloon Show invites guests to leave inhibitions in the desert dust and boot-scoot into a world of talent, comedy and off-the-wall fun. Cursing? It’s got that—lots of that, like realdown-and-dirty stuff that would make even Richard Pryor and George Carlin blush. Comedy? You’ll split your pants and possibly spew out your drink from laughing so hard. Talent? You’ll be up to your teeth in it. Your host for the evening, and proprietor of the “saloon,” is Boozy Skunkton. Her bright red hair isn’t the only thing that’s fired up—her acerbic tongue seems to get her in trouble at every turn;

but she has an indescribable charm. Another charmer in the show is singing cowboy Blue Jackson, who uses his guitar to serenade with the most inappropriate lyrics and dance moves. When it comes to physical talents, the audience is treated to a grab bag of vignettes. Ever seen someone hula hoop? How about hula hooping with dozens of hoops? Aerial acts amaze with both solo and duo performances. Feats of strength push the limits, with a duo demonstrating how muscle and balance can create amazing poses. Pole dancing? Yup, that’s here, too. The theater in the round brings to the stage some slapstick moments—one involving some demure nuns who perform some quite shocking but hysterical acts with ping pong balls. And,

Boozy’s cousins perform a kind-of rap number that continually elicits laughter and applause from the audience. The ending of this Wild West hoedown is an all-out saloon brawl with the entire cast that seems to go on forever—but at the same time you don’t want it to end. Atomic Saloon Show should also be lauded for its venue. Getting into the theater is reminiscent of winding your way on the way to a Disneyland ride, and once you get to the main room, you’re immersed in a different world. The re-created saloon has multiple bars (you can grab specially created cocktails before and during the show), VIP booths and seating on a second level, so you can look down on all the action. –Kiko Miyasato

All in the Fingers Those who followed Shin Lim’s journey on America’s Got Talent know his story very well by now: He was training to be a classical pianist, but because of carpal tunnel syndrome, he had to choose between the piano and magic. Most who have had the pleasure of seeing him perform must believe he made the right decision. It’s a safe bet to say that Lim’s residency at The Mirage is one of the hottest on the Las Vegas Strip, and when you add AGT competitor and mentalist Colin Cloud into the mix, you have a show that just can’t miss. Lim and Cloud take turns entertaining the audience; there’s plenty of audience participation when Cloud comes out, and he’s the perfect complement to Lim’s awe-inspiring magic, helping to keep the crowd laughing and loose. His is a different kind of magic than Lim, but it’s no less impressive. But it’s Lim that truly steals the show, with lightning-fast sleight-of-hand that will make you rethink that whole blinking thing. –Ken Miller The Mirage, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Hot Blast

A Classic Perfected How many times have you watched an episode of Hell’s Kitchen and heard Gordon Ramsay scream at the Red or Blue team: “This fish is (expletive) still swimming!” What always ends up happening is that the chef then returns with a perfectly cooked piece of fish, and all you can think is, “Man, I really want some fish right now!” Lucky for you, Ramsay offers that perfectly cooked cod—and plenty more—at Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips.

You can enjoy the classic British coupling with tartar sauce, but Ramsay also offers other dipping options, including curry and mango, sriracha aioli and Dijon mayonnaise. Still hungry? Add on shrimp, chicken or sausage. And there’s a secret combo: Just ask for the “G Spot” and get a combo of fish, chicken and shrimp. Fans of Ramsay’s famous sticky toffee pudding dessert can find great variations here. –KM The Linq Promenade, 702.322.0529

Some Las Vegas hotels have pretty cool front yards. Bellagio has its iconic fountains and The Venetian has its faux canals. And while those sights are impressive, they don’t hold a candle to the original, free large-scale entertainment attraction—the fire-spewing volcano in front of The Mirage. For more than 30 years, the volcano has attracted children and adults alike with its booming explosions, fireballs, faux lava and flames that are so hot you can practically feel them across the boulevard. Suffice it to say, it’s a real blast! Catch it on the hour from 8-11 p.m. nightly. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff The Mirage, 702.791.7416

French Twist

Paris restaurant thrills diners “Would you like a view with your meal, mademoiselle? Please, follow me.” That may not be exactly the script when you step up to the host stand at Eiffel Tower Restaurant, but it surely can’t be far off. The French restaurant, slightly above the base of the Eiffel Tower at Paris, has spectacular views of the Fountains of Bellagio and of Las Vegas Boulevard. However, a peek at the menu will yield great views, too, of dishes like smoked salmon; steak tartare; slow-braised smoked pork belly; and warm foie gras—and those are just the appetizers. Don’t forget to order a glass of wine or a cocktail like the Eiffel Affair, with Stoli Blue-

beri vodka, macerated berries, Boudier crème de cassis, Combier orange liqueur, rose nectar and Crémant D’Alsace brut sparkling wine. And to top it off, try a tasting of Osetra caviar. For a main course, enjoy whole boneless Dover sole, roasted Colorado rack of lamb, or an individual beef Wellington. There are plenty of steaks as well, from a Rossini-style filet mignon, served with foie gras and a truffle sauce, to Prime New York aged steak. Add Maine lobster or extra sauces on for even more oomph. The restaurant also offers options for vegetarians, like summer vegetables with wild mushrooms, a quail egg and romesco sauce. Dishes

like those tend to change seasonally, so ask your server what’s available. Desserts are suitably decadent here, with souffles being among the best, with flavors like Valrhona chocolate, Grand Marnier, Sicilian pistachio and lemon blueberry. You can get other sweet treats like crème brulée, chocolate-hazelnut cake and macarons, too. And for a weekend brunch, it’s hard to beat the vista and the three-course menu, where you’ll find delights like creamy French onion soup, lobster eggs Benedict or French toast a la crème brulée, plus desserts including warm, baked Alsace apple strudel. –Nina King Paris, 702.948.6937

Bear Crossing Aria is known for the many art pieces installed throughout, and taking a stroll around the resort is something that is worth repeating, whether it’s on the same trip or not. Recently, artist Paola Pivi brought her We Are the Baby Gang exhibit to the hotel lobby at Aria, installing 51 fluorescent baby bears in various scenes across the area. The bears, created out of bright neon colors and tons of feathers, are designed to excite a sense of whimsy with vignettes of bears in yoga poses floating through the air and gazing into pools. But there is also a deeper purpose to the installation, and that is to draw attention to the plight of polar bears in the wild, whose habitat is being reduced and destroyed by climate change. “I am excited to bring my beautiful divas to Las Vegas,” said Pivi in a release. “Aria’s gorgeous lobby with its soaring ceilings and natural light is a perfect canvas to create this colorful world of polar bears to showcase the significance of these animals and our deep connection with them.” –Nina King

If you’re too young to have ever experienced the showgirl era of Las Vegas (Folies Bergere was one of the city’s longest-running shows), you can still get a sense of those glory days at Extravaganza—The Vegas Spectacular, a variety show that throws absolutely everything into the mix—including showgirls. Performers from all over the globe have assembled to keep you in awe, from plate spinners and death-defying roller-skaters to daredevil motorcycle riders and crossbow expert Silvia Silvia.

Aria restaurant celebrates Taiwan’s cuisine On your way into Din Tai Fung, you’ll pass through a huge dining room with soaring windows that showcase a green vista, lots of wood throughout and an enormous water feature right in the center of the restaurant. This, along with a cheerful greeting from the Taiwanese dumpling house mascot, immediately puts you in an upbeat frame of mind. Drinks here range from a seemingly mild pear and lychee martini to the stronger DTF Old-Fashioned, with Japanese whiskey and Taiwanese oolong tea.

check on the latest additions to this menu as it does change seasonally. Ordering here is on a checklist-style system, where you choose the dumplings and buns you want to share. Good choices are the shrimp and kurobuta pork shao mai; Jidori chicken; and vegan dumplings, the latter stuffed with shitake and wood ear mushrooms, glass noodles and bean curd. The plump buns come in several options, like kurobuta pork, Jidori chicken and oyster mushroom buns, and a vegan version stuffed with the same mix you’ll find in the dumplings. Get wontons and xiao long bao varieties, too. It seems like the choices are endless. If you’d prefer, choose soups, noodles or entrées instead

of dumplings only. The vegan wonton soup is light and delicate in kombu broth. The hot sour pork soup is packed with tons of ingredients. There are also noodles with different types of toppings, from pickled mustard greens and shredded kurobata pork to diced beef and Szechuan peppers. For dessert, the chocolate and mochi xiao long bao is pretty amazing, with a layer of mochi wrapped around chocolate. The red bean bun pulls in a completely different flavor, but it’s also worth the order. And the lovely sesame paste bun will no doubt have you considering a second order. –Nina King Aria, 702.590.8650

No Light, Just Right Walk into the lobby at Blackout Dining in the Dark, and you’ll be walking into an adventure for the senses; well, except for the sense of sight. In this unique dining experience, patrons first make a series of choices that help guide the chef into the creation of your meal (Are you a fan of sweet? Savory? Spicy?). Then they are led through an area that acts much like an airlock, but just for light, and into the completely dark dining room. You’ll get a complete, multicourse meal here, with the emphasis on really using those senses to try to figure out what you have eaten. You won’t be allowed to take your phone or electronics in, so dine with someone you can talk to for a whole meal without interruption. Once you’ve finished up dessert, you’ll be led back to the lobby, get a rundown of your meal and see how keen your sense of smell and taste really are. –Nina King 3871 S.

A Sweet Escape I’ve said it many times to people who have visited me in Las Vegas, “If you’re on the Strip and you’re a sweets lover, you’ll find nirvana at Hershey’s Chocolate World at New York-New York.” The two-story destination has all the Hershey’s candy products on the market, huge sections of different varieties of Reese’s, Jolly Ranchers, Hershey’s Kisses, the list goes on and on. Plus, there are gifts, collectibles, apparel and even chocolate-flavored lipstick.

Michael Shaw

GM is right where he wants to be Before Michael Shaw moved here in 2017, the Erie, Penn., native had never even been to Las Vegas—and now he’s the general manager for one of the coolest spots in town, Beerhaus at The Park. “I only knew what Vegas was from TV, movies, magazines, but I knew it was the mecca of the hospitality industry,” Shaw says. “And hospitality was an industry that I always knew I wanted to be a part of.” In fact, after high school Shaw worked his way up from busser and server to bartender and, by 2013, management roles at various corporate restaurants in his hometown. Two years before he moved to Vegas he became manager of Lavery Brewing Company in Erie, an almost serendipitous move, because now he’s helping to run Beerhaus. Shaw joined Beerhaus in March 2018 as the assistant manager, and by March of this year he was made general manager. “I’m a huge hockey fan and Beerhaus is just yards away

from T-Mobile Arena where the Golden Knights play,” he says. “Plus, managing a brewery, it just seemed like the perfect fit.” Not only does Shaw help run the German beer hall-inspired venue, “My role here is to make sure that I give my staff and my managers the tools they need to succeed,” he says. “But the favorite part of my job is getting to know our guests. I’ve always been friendly—I’m Irish, so I’ve always had the gift of gab.” It also worked out perfectly that Shaw’s favorite drink of choice is beer. “I’ve always had this quote when someone asks me what my favorite beer is: ‘Whatever beer I have in my hand,’ or ‘I hope I haven’t found it yet,’ because I’m always willing to try something new,” he says. Surrounded by beer and being in the world’s top city for hospitality, what more could Shaw want? “It’s amazing to be here—I feel very lucky and fortunate,” he says. “I should have come out here sooner!” –Kiko Miyasato

When you arrive at Mott 32, you may be hard put to conceal the squeal of delight that threatens to break out. The bar area here is pretty darned cool, with a design incorporating custom wallpaper, ropes, chains and nets hanging from the ceiling for larger parties, with tables surrounding the room in front of the large bar. It’s fabulous for getting a handcrafted cocktail with top-shelf ingredients, or a tasty beer, like the Hitachino Nest espresso stout out of Japan, prior to dinner.

spot that draws diners for its mix of traditional and modern Chinese cuisine. From appetizers to desserts, you may recognize the names of the dishes, but the flavors and textures may be more nuanced than you have experienced elsewhere. Take, for example, the lettuce cup, something ubiquitous on Chinese menus, but available here on baby gem lettuce with black truffle and almonds, suitable for vegans and meat eaters. Dim sum selections include Shanghainese soup dumplings, perched on small, The Palazzo lovely silver 702.607.3232 baskets, filled with trendy Iberico pork. Crispy, sugar-coated baked buns are also filled with barbecue Iberico pork. It’s not necessary to choose between them; get both or choose pork and black truffle siu mai. The duck here is a signature item and is found throughout the menu, including in applewood-roasted 42 Days Peking Duck “Signature Mott 32 Cut,” on

That awed feeling continues through to the dining room, where the dark woods and Chinese-inspired décor make it seem you might be stepping into the set of an old movie. It’s a feeling that’s helped along by black-and-white movies starring the celebrated actress and fashion icon Anna May Wong, playing on several screens around the room. Several windows allow a peek into the kitchen. But Mott 32 is far from a glimpse into the past; it is an energetic

a Peking-style spicy crispy duck rack and in a shredded duck salad. But if duck isn’t your thing, no worries, try Wok-fried Maine lobster; the signature smoked black cod, which is covered in a rich sauce that will have you repeatedly dipping just one more piece; or the Black Angus beef short rib. Vegetarians and vegans can indulge in numerous offerings as well, from the aforementioned lettuce cups to stir-fried Shanghainese noodles with vegetables, a dish that elevates the typical chow mein. Braised eggplant also finds itself in that elevated status and is silky-smooth, without the overwhelming oiliness you might find in similar dishes. Although it is tempting to skip dessert after such a fulfilling meal, that would be a travesty. The Double Boiled Imperial Bird’s Nest Soup, with rock sugar or apricot seed juice, will fulfill your dessert desires for at least a year. But if you want to go for something a little less high-powered, order the coconut ice cream with pomelo and grapefruit, with honeycomb all around the edges. Oh, so delicious.

Where to find excellent food and brews In honor of the arrival of fall—not to mention this month’s return of the Downtown Brew Festival, set for Oct. 16 at the Clark County Amphitheater—it makes sense to turn our attention to Las Vegas restaurants serving some great beer food. ’Tis the season to soak up some suds, and

it all starts at the legendary Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas (702.853.2337) where every day is an Oktoberfest celebration. Now, in actual October, a variety of local celebrities and entertainers pop in every Friday and Saturday night to tap a new keg and keep the party going, which is pretty

easy to do when you have giant mugs of cold beer and mouthwatering Bavarian specialties to munch on, like crispy pork shank with green cabbage and bacon salad, giant baked pretzels with onion mustard and breaded schnitzel with mushroom sauce.

ON AND OFF THE STRIP

@lasvegasmagazine

You know what else goes great with an icy brew? Fried chicken, particularly the Southern variety, and that’s the specialty at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar (702.297.6541) at The Venetian. Get that crispy, juicy goodness on a biscuit with pepper jelly, on a cheddar waffle with spiced watermelon or all by itself, a simple half bird with honey hot sauce. It’s all familiar and flavorful, but you might not know Yardbird has one of the Strip’s best beer selections, including regional craft favorites as well as Las Vegas’ own brewery champions like Able Baker, Big Dog’s, Tenaya Creek and more. The recently reopened El Burro Borracho (855.888.3463) at the Rio is a terrific spot to enjoy some Mexican food with a draft Modelo Especial or Dos Equis lager. Celebrity chef Guy Fieri has tailored this menu as the foundation for a good time, serving up fresh guacamole, “trash can” nachos with carne asada or al pastor, cheeseburger tacos with Sonoran-style braised beef and chicken mole verde enchiladas. Out west in the Downtown Summerlin complex, brand-new taproom Beer Zombies (702.780.0297) is curating hard-to-find brews from across the country and the freshest local flavors to offer a one-of-a-kind beer tasting experience, and it’s packing a small-but-mighty food menu to round things out. Square Sicilian-style pizza slices with your favorite savory and spicy toppings will satiate that growing appetite, or snack on addictive crispy chicken wings and Nashville Hot-flavored cauliflower. Back on the Strip, the always popular Beerhaus (702.692.2337) at The Park will definitely fill up with hockey fans when Vegas Golden Knights games resume this month at nearby T-Mobile Arena. Better get in while you can to work your way through its endless taps and carefully selected beers while munching on rotisserie chicken, barbecue ribs, shaved roast beef sandwiches and IPA cheddarwurst brats covered in smoked bacon onion jam. Another indoor-outdoor hot spot just up the boulevard is the rooftop Beer Park (702.444.4500) at Paris, where you split your time between watching sports on hi-def screens and observing all the Strip action below. Of course, you’ll also share chili verde nachos, deviled eggs, mac and cheese eggrolls and chicken cheesesteaks along with beer flights that give you four 6-ounce pours so you can sample to your heart’s content. Bottoms up! –Brock Radke

Donny Osmond builds strong connections with his audiences By Brock Radke

Reinvention is a necessity for any entertainer looking for longevity. But no performer has had a career quite like the one Donny Osmond has assembled over the course of nearly six decades in show business.

His debut came at the age of 5, singing “You Are My Sunshine” on The Andy Williams Show in 1963, and his most recent performance occurred late last month at Harrah’s Showroom on the Las Vegas Strip, with the still youthful star taking the stage

at age 63. Much of what happened within that timespan was built around Osmond’s ability to reinvent himself. The full unique spectrum of his career is deftly displayed during his new Vegas show, marking the first time Osmond has become

a solo resident headliner on the Strip. After more than a decade selling out the nearby Flamingo Showroom with his equally talented sibling in the landmark Donny & Marie residency, Caesars Entertainment signed him up for another run that kicked off on Aug. 31 at Harrah’s, and after the first week of shows, Caesars announced Osmond’s extension through the end of next year. It’s a winner right off the bat. A big part of this early success is the fact that no one caters to their audience the way Osmond does, and you can tell by looking around the showroom that he has one of most dedicated and loyal followings around. Working with director Raj Kapoor, Osmond has built an energetic production packed with music and storytelling that allows him to personally connect with his fans from different generations. If you don’t know him from his early days of singing pop hits with his brothers or starring in top the charts all by himself as an adult. the 1970s TV variety series with Marie, you Then he soars through a smash ballad from might know him from his Broadway that same era, “Sacred Emotion,” beturn in Joseph and the Amazing fore unleashing new single “Who,” Technicolor Dreamcoat or from a thick groove from his recently his championship run on released 65th album Start Harrah’s Dancing With the Stars.

It’s one of many emotional moments in the show as he also takes time to perform tributes to his showbiz family, inspirations and mentors. By the time the confetti rains down and the curtain closes, Osmond will have rapped his way through a career retrospective, danced his way through a flashy Sin City-style medley, revisited 1971 teenybopper hit “Puppy Love,” and forced everyone out of their seats with the appropriately titled new song “Let’s All Dance.” He was already a major star in Las Vegas, but even that status was ripe for reinvention.

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE to discuss the sport of boxing without thinking about the role Las Vegas played in its evolution. Some of the most legendary fights of all time were staged here: Larry Homes vs. Ken Norton in 1978; Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns in 1981; Hearns vs. Marvin Hagler in 1985; Riddick Bowe vs. Evander Holyfield in 1992; Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Meldrick Taylor in 1990; George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle in 1976 … The list just seems endless. More than any sport, boxing helped to really bring Vegas to prominence as a sports mecca. One of the sport’s best fighters of all time, Floyd Mayweather Jr., calls this city home, and that’s not by accident. And as Las Vegas begins to fully reemerge as the Entertainment Capital of the World, its position in sports has never been stronger—we now have the NHL, NFL, the UFC, the WNBA, Minor League Baseball and an American professional soccer team, and the possibility of getting an MLB franchise looms large. Boxing, long our city’s biggest sports draw, seems poised to return stronger than ever. For a full appreciation of our city’s rich history in the sweet science, visit the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Arts and its current exhibition, Leather Throwers: Celebrating the World of Boxing Through Art. Every piece in this stunning show—paintings,

In addition to the works of art, Leather Throwers features photographs, objects and historical memorabilia commemorating great boxing moments. Artists featured in the show include Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Diane Arbus, LeRoy Neiman (his black-andwhite drawing, Boxing at the Ritz (Black Tie Boxing) is particularly striking), Jeffrey Gibson (his three punching bags, adorned in beads, blankets and fringe are worth the visit alone), Douglas Gordon, Damien Hirst, Annie Leibovitz, Vik Muniz, Ed Ruscha (the

exhibit’s name comes from the title of a Ruscha drawing), Claes Oldenburg, Irving Penn and Gary Simmons. Fighters featured in the works include Muhammad Ali (who’s easily the most prominent pugilist in the exhibit), Jersey Joe Walcott and many others. “Las Vegas has long been anchored on the excitement and passion around sports and entertainment,” said Tarissa Tiberti, executive director of MGM Resorts Art & Culture. “This exciting exhibit celebrating one of sport’s most dramatic disciplines wouldn’t be possible without the Las Vegas collectors who are not only invested in the sport of boxing but are also betting on our city’s strong return.” The exhibit can be viewed 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday through Monday until Oct. 10.

Rod Stewart returns to Las Vegas—with all his hits By Ken Miller | Photography by Penny Lancaster

When Rod Stewart takes the stage at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace this week (Oct. 6, 8-9), it represents two important milestones: a.) it’s the first time he’s set foot on a Las Vegas stage since the pandemic shut down the Strip; b.) it will be almost 10 years to the day since his residency, Rod Stewart: The Hits, premiered in Sin City. In both cases, it’s cause for serious celebration by Stewart’s legion of fans, who span the generations and genres. Stewart has spent his career churning out hit after hit, not only with groups but also as a solo artist—his discography now spans 31 solo albums (including 16 singles that cracked the U.S. top 10), meaning he has a deep well from which to draw for any given show, and trust us—you will definitely hear the hits. Those who doubt Stewart can still deliver at 76 will be quickly silenced once he takes the mic to belt out classics like “The First Cut Is the Deepest,” “Maggie May,” “Every Picture Tells a Story” and “You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim).” His

36

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

energy level is infectious, as is his sense of humor and audience interaction. (At one point, Sir Rod was kicking soccer balls into the crowd, a nod to his early years as a footballer for his school’s team, but such antics were deemed a little risky, so he has since stopped.) It’s hard to pick the strongest creative period of Stewart’s career. His work with The Jeff Beck Group and the The Faces in the ’60s and ’70s helped shape him into the solo rocker who catapulted to stardom with the release of 1971’s Every Picture Tells a Story, and Stewart would remain a prominent force throughout that decade with monster, seductive hits like “Tonight’s the Night,” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “Hot Legs.” He continued his streak of hits in the ’80s and ’90s with “Passion,” “Infatuation,” “Baby Jane,” “Young Turks,” “Some Guys Have All the Luck,” “Downtown Train” and “Rhythm of My Heart.”


Caesars Palace 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Subsequent years saw him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, set a Guinness world record for the largest free concert attendance in history (3.5 million people on Copacabana Beach in Rio) and sell out venues as part of his Out of Order Tour throughout the Americas. By the new millennium, Stewart changed things up in a way no one expected, covering the Great American Songbook through multiple albums and equaling his sales from the 1970s in the process. He’s known as much to rockers as he is to blue hairs, a claim few entertainers can make. What makes Stewart’s achievements truly extraordinary is that he has compromised nothing in the process—he remains a true original in every way, which is why every performer under the sun has wanted to work with him over the years—everyone from Stevie Nicks and Stevie Wonder to Dolly Parton, Diana Ross and Elton John. The word “legend” is thrown around too easily these days, but in Stewart’s case it’s a no-brainer.


Although many times watching football means nothing more than plopping yourself down on the couch in front of the TV with a beer and some chips, in Vegas you can up your viewing experience, and if do you want chips and beer, you can up that, too. Here are just a few things to do and places to go for a game this week. Money, Baby!, the new sports restaurant at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas with about 200 TVs, offers specials like $35 beer buckets, $5 beerand-shot specials to fans wearing a football jersey on game nights, plus a Sunday celebration with $5 hot dogs and burgers on the patio.

It’s medieval fun at Tournament of Kings’ dinner-and-a-show experience ou’d be hard-pressed to find another show in town where you can really let loose, be rowdy and be loud—all in the name of fun. Tournament of Kings, which returned to the Strip after being closed due to the pandemic last year, thankfully resumed its schedule of six nights a week. The show, which is family friendly but also a great time for a group of adults, is quite the theatrical delight,

providing guests with a chance to celebrate all things medieval, including King Arthur, Prince Christopher and the Knights of the Round Table. The story starts with the majestic wizard Merlin coming out into the theater and welcoming the audience to the Tournament of Kings—an evening where various countries gather to cheer on their kings as they compete in feats of strength and knighthood.

Excalibur 702.597.7600

Inside the 900-seat theater in the round, your seat for the evening assigns you to a country—Russia, Ireland, Spain, Austria, France or Hungary. Some might even be seated in the fire-wizard section—this is where you’ll be rooting for the bad guy, the evil Mordred! It’s you and your section’s job to holler and scream for your king as he and his noble steed participate in various contests like javelin throwing and jousting. During the tournament, guests feast on a multicourse dinner of roasted, seasoned Cornish game hen, lemon pepper roasted

potatoes, corn on the cob, a dinner roll and an apple square pastry for dessert. The fun part is being able to dig in and eat everything with your hands, without those weird looks from your neighbor. (Of course, silverware is available.) But just as the celebration gets underway, the beautiful maidens seduce with their dance and the kings continue their fantastic feats, darkness falls over the theater as the evil fire wizard descends into the arena. With blazing fireballs and his minions following, a great battle ensues where Prince Christopher must avenge his father’s death. Joining the prince, all the knights must now band together to help defeat evil.

Stunning visual effects and pyrotechnics impress and truly heighten the theatrical experience. And the show’s costumes also add to the dazzling experience—ornate gowns, tournament attire and even Merlin’s majestic robe were all specially created by designer Frederick Pineau known for his costuming for French operas. Tournament of Kings also features original music and score by famed composer Scot Rammer. Banging your tankards, shouting for good and evil and joining in song and merriment is continuously encouraged throughout the entire show. The long-running Las Vegas show is nonstop action that keeps guests entertained from start to finish.

RED ROCK CANYON (702.515.5350) One of the most spectacular conservation areas in the country is right here in our backyard, and the 13-mile scenic loop is the most accessible way to view the sprawling landscape. Along the path you’ll find several overlooks and hiking trails that make for an awesome getaway. LAKE LAS VEGAS WATER SPORTS (702.600.9860) For a relaxing time on the water, rent a kayak, paddleboard or an electric boat and cruise along the lake.

RAILROAD PASS TRAIL (702.293.8990) Not only is this an easy flat trail with breathtaking views of Lake Mead, it’s also a path rich in history—the trail was used as a railway to transport materials to Hoover Dam during its construction. In case you find it hard to imagine the scope of that project, the five enormous tunnels along the path will help put it all in perspective. STADIUM SWIM AT CIRCA (circalasvegas.com) Whether or not you agree that it’s “the best pool in history,” it’s definitely one of the coolest places to spend a sunny day. There’s six swimming pools on three levels, lounge chairs, cabanas, cocktails, small bites and a 40-foot tall high-def screen.

home’s custom Creston system). Did we mention it has great views of the Strip? If you love sports, wait until you see the backyard. In addition to an infinity pool, spa and shallow lounging area overlooking the golf course, there’s a tennis and basketball half court. Look closer and you’ll find other delightful details like a large fire pit, two-story open cabana and Viking outdoor kitchen. “This home offers every amenity and detail anyone could dream of having, and more,”

said Weber. “Nothing was left out. The home perfectly showcases views of the Strip and golf course and offers spaces for every lifestyle, from a spacious fitness room and sauna to an in-home movie theater and private office rooms. This estate speaks to a buyer who truly values a home’s thoughtful craftsmanship and artistry in not only the materials used, but also in the overall design and layout,” –Ken MIller 596 St. Croix St., $7,400,000, 702.800.9000, License No. S.0173183

So Many Selections While many of us let ourselves go to pot over the pandemic, some came out refreshed and revitalized—sort of like Bacchanal Buffet (Caesars Palace, 702.731.7928). It reopened earlier this year with a beautiful makeover of the carving station and American and Latin sections and introduced 100 new dishes!

Grilled elote is custom-coated, including classic, with Hot Cheetos and with Takis; street tacos are nearby, or maybe you’d prefer duck carnitas. Charcuterie and a cheese board dominate the Mediterranean section, hummus, baba ganoush and pita will also catch your eye. The Asian section features

Laotian, Indonesian, Filipino, Thai and Vietnamese dishes, plus sushi. Those roving dim sum carts bring around Chinese specialties. And the desserts! They’re pure decadence, from gelato and salted caramel cupcakes to a “sunny side-up egg” made of lightly whipped yogurt and a mango sphere. –Nina King
