Omega Mart Cocktails Gone Wild
NOTES
From the Editor Limitless Possibilities
Any regular reader of my editor’s note will tell you: I love Area15! It’s only been open for a short while, but it has not taken long for this entertainment complex to become the talk of the town. And as amazing as its current lineup is—Museum Fiasco, the Haley’s Comet zipline, Wink World, Oddwood bar, Dueling Axes, Emporium Arcade Bar and more—the attraction just continues to add more. It’s an ever-evolving experience that demands repeat visits. No discussion of Area15 would be complete without mentioning Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, an almost indescribable combination of art, sound, light, interactive elements ... and a pinch of mystery. It truly feels like a space where anything goes, where anything is possible, where anything can happen. In that spirit, Las Vegas Magazine presents this week’s cover feature: We’ve brought the cocktails served at Omega Mart to life (“The Drinks Come Out at Night,” p. 30). Call it a Secret Life of Petsstyle take on what the cocktails might do when no one is around. Our art crew painstakingly crafted scenarios where the various drinks interact with the different elements of the attraction, giving you not only an idea of what libations you can enjoy, but also the highlights of Omega Mart itself. I could not be prouder of my team for
not only coming up with this concept, but executing it to perfection. Elsewhere in this week’s issue, there’s so much more to check out! If you’re looking for some great shows, we’ve got some previews in store, from The Beatles LOVE at The Mirage (“Today, ‘Yesterday’ Is Not So Far Away,” p. 42) and Fantasy at Luxor (“Romp and Circumstance,” p. 11) to Absinthe at Caesars Palace (“Word of (Potty) Mouth,” p. 16) and MJ Live at The STRAT (“Can’t Beat It,” p. 49). How about some great restaurants? Way ahead of you! Carnivores will definitely want to check out Jean Georges Steakhouse at Aria (“Refreshing Luxury,” p. 10), while seafood lovers will enjoy Estiatorio Milos at The Venetian (“That Greek Feeling,” p. 17). How about a beer? Trustworthy Brewing Co. at The Grand Canal Shoppes just unveiled a new cask ale program (“Beer, Glorious Beer,” p. 14). Two other sections you should definitely check out: This week’s Friends With Benefits, featuring Arthur Lucero with Magic Mike Live ( p. 20); and LVing, in which Heidi Carlsen of Stately Home Staging talks about the art of selling your home (“Room for Improvement,” p. 46). As this week’s issue of Las Vegas Magazine proves, your enjoyment this week has no limits. Imagine anything. Then do it.

Rich Culture When a steakhouse has a nearly 150-year legacy, you know you’re in for something special. The original Old Homestead Steakhouse in New York City dates back to 1868, and all that experience and knowledge is brought to bear at the Las Vegas outpost. You’re welcome! Whether you opt for surf (Petrossian caviar with a blini accompaniment or yellowtail tartare with cucumber, chili and garlic oil) or turf (8-ounce American wagyu rib cap or 24-ounce bone-in “Gotham” ribeye), you’ll be doing so in ultimate comfort with an attentive waitstaff and a serene ambience. Make sure to take advantage of the signature cocktail menu, highlighted by the Boulevardi-Eight (Octomore 11.1 Scotch, Carpano Antica and Amaro Montenegro) and Free the Diplomat (single vintage Diplomatico rum, Fernet Blanca, Liquor 43 and citrus zest from bitters). For a meal to remember, order the Ultimate Dinner for Two, where sharing is the focus. It includes a succulent and juicy, 34-ounce bone-in porterhouse, chopped salad and your choice of sides and dessert (we recommend the Big Fat Chocolate Cake!). –Ken Miller

A Joke a Second Long before America’s Got Talent began populating the Las Vegas Strip with worldclass entertainers, the television show Star Search helped launch its fair share of entertainers, including comedian Scott Thompson, better known as Carrot Top. And while he was, in fact, a runner-up in that competition (yeah, we can’t believe it either), he parlayed his exposure into one of the most successful comedy careers in entertainment history, and currently has one

of the longest-running residencies on the Las Vegas Strip. Not bad for second place! In case you’ve never seen Carrot Top at work, expect plenty of visual gags that come at you at a breakneck pace, some of which work, some of which don’t. But as you quickly discover, whether they work or not isn’t the point. Objects by themselves aren’t funny; the man wielding them definitely is. –Ken Miller Luxor, 16+, 702.262.4400

Romp and Circumstance
Luxor adult revue still seduces decades later The sum of the parts of adults-only revue Fantasy make up a sweet, sexy whole: A bed. In this seductive vignette, watch as three women undress one another atop a bed covered in silky white sheets. The quick glimpses of what they’re doing under the covers will have you at the edge of your seat. Chaps and cowboy hats. And that’s about all the ladies wear when country goes crazy sexy cool as they line dance and boot scoot to songs like “Whole Lotta Woman.” A pole. Winding her way up and down, and down and up, this lady shows off poise and incredible balance and strength on the stripper pole.

A Latin beat. One of the Fantasy ladies lights the stage on fire with her wickedly wild hips twisting to the sounds of the heavy and hard-hitting Latin music beats. The singer. Songbird Lorena Peril absolutely astounds with her vocal capabilities, belting out perfect-pitch versions of “It’s A Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World,” “Roxanne” and “A Little Party.” Silks. Watch as another lady stuns with absolutely awe-inspiring athleticism, shimmying up and down the silks in beautiful aerial numbers. A sofa. Sliding across, around and on top of the soft-fabric covering a boudoir-type sofa, another lovely lady shows off her assets and talents in a sexy number that gets the crowd going.
“Halftime” show. Murray the Magician astounds with some stand-up and really impressive tricks during a couple of intermissions. His newspaper trick to the sounds of Prince’s “Purple Rain” and his lady-in-a-box trick will really confound and delight. Gloves, fishnet stockings, sparkly tops, corsets and bras. All the ladies come on the stage during each vignette wearing beautiful costumes and then you get what you came for at Fantasy—to watch them take it all off. It’s a quick way to get that libido going, but there’s a bona fide, seductive art to the way they undress—a technique dating back to the days of early burlesque. –Kiko Miyasato

Tee It Up Got a large group or a large family? You’ll definitely want to check out Topgolf Las Vegas, an entertainment facility with so much to do you’ll probably need to revisit multiple times to experience it all. The 120-plus hitting bays are hard to resist, and for good reason: They’re suitable for all skill levels, and feature all sorts of games, including a version of Angry Birds. All the balls have sensors, meaning you can easily keep score with your friends and family as you try to hit different targets spread across a large play area. And while you’re waiting for your turn, order everything from shareables like cheesy macaroni bites, warm pretzel bites and Topgolf wings to sandwiches like the Smokehouse Burger, turkey avocado wrap and fried chicken sandwich. The drink menu features your favorite beers and cocktails like Topgolf Tea, a heady blend of Absolut vodka, Bacardi rum, Bombay Sapphire gin and DeKuyper triple sec. But the fun is just beginning. There are also two pools and five bars, as well as a 48-foot TV screen for some serious entertainment value. –Ken Miller

There are so many good dishes at Salt & Ivy Café and Patio Bar that you’ll have a hard time choosing, but the Dutch baby pancakes in cast iron skillets are a must-try.

It’s like a cross between breakfast and dessert. –NK Aria, 702.590.9899

Beer, Glorious Beer Trustworthy Brewing Co. at The Venetian has launched a cask ale program, offering ales naturally fermented and served from the same vessel with no forced carbonation. The first was unveiled last month, with head brewer Zach Johnson doing the honors of tapping the small metal firkin, which holds 40 pints and was emptied and enjoyed by eager beer lovers within hours of being tapped. The vessel had been filled with the brewery’s unfermented What Plane? oatmeal stout and, after yeast, oak spirals and Tahitian vanilla beans were added, was aged in the cask for six months. The result was a beer markedly different from the What Plane? carbonated with CO2 on draft that I compared it to, as the cask version had increased flavor from the oak and vanilla it was aged on and also more roast, toffee and coffee characteristics. Although this initial version took six months to come to fruition, Johnson said most will only take a few weeks to develop in the firkins, of which the brewery has five of. –Bob Barnes

Word of (Potty) Mouth
Caesars Palace show goes where other shows won’t It’s a question anyone who’s lived long enough in Las Vegas is eventually asked by their guests: “If you could only see one show while you’re in town, which one would it be?” For at least the last 10 years, that answer more often than not is probably Absinthe, a one-of-a-kind production in a one-of-a-kind venue that has been drawing rave reviews since it debuted on the Strip in 2011. It’s the kind of show you can’t wait to tell everyone about once you’ve seen it. The venue itself makes you feel like you’re part of something special. The Spiegeltent is ornately decorated, its circular space featuring a bar, hundreds of seats, tables, and a smallish circular

stage at the center. “That’s it?,” you might be asking yourself. But you’ll forget you even thought it once the show begins. That space is used extremely effectively by a variety of acts, all connected by the extremely foul-mouthed (and extremely funny) Gazillionaire, a sleazy “producer” who brags about his money when he’s not insulting the audience and abusing his poor assistant, Wanda Widdles, who’s not above being a bit blue herself. The acts themselves are all world-class, starting with one that may induce vertigo in some audience members—an acrobat slowly ascends to the top of a chair mountain he builds, balancing
himself along the way and sometimes actually moving the chair mountain around. Once he reaches the top, down comes The Green Fairy, an iconic part of the show displaying great curves and great pipes as she serenades the crowd with “Come On-A My House.” It’s the perfect segue into the show’s raunchy—but fun—style. Along the way, you’ll enjoy acrobats, jugglers, strongmen and a few naughty intermissions that will have you doubled over with laughter. Just like the drink itself, this show is intoxicating—and maybe just a little addictive. –Ken Miller Caesars Palace, 18+, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

When you arrive at Estiatorio Milos, you’ll be greeted with a light peaceful environment buzzing with happy diners. Past an inviting bar, there are two beautiful market areas displaying both the incredible array of fruit, veg and herbs, and the fresh fish used in Estiatorio’s dishes, all in front of a bustling open kitchen. In addition, you’ll find a room dedicated to making the restaurant’s yogurt. What should you be on the lookout for when ordering? A raw bar offering such things as big eye tuna sashimi and tartare, plus ceviche. And the Milos Special piles thinly sliced and lightly fried zucchini and eggplant with accompanying kefalograviera cheese and tzatziki. It’s just superb. For the red-meat lover, ribeye, filet mignon and Colorado lamb chops come with Greek fried potatoes, all available with sides like Santorini fava purée, asparagus and broccoli. For dessert, traditional baklava comes with ice cream and pistachios. The Greek yogurt with Kythirian thyme honey is delicious without being overwhelmingly sweet. –Nina King
Re-Creating Greatness If 27—A Musical Adventure was an actual rock concert today, tickets would sell out in minutes. Of course, gathering this roster of rock stars is only a dream, but 27 has made it reality—in a way. This high-energy tribute show brings together iconic singers—who all passed away at age 27—for an evening of nostalgia and music. Each tribute artist not only sings live, backed by a live band, but also brings back the looks, mannerisms and magnetism of the icon they play. The
lineup includes Robert Johnson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse. You’ll hear each of the singer’s biggest hits as well as learn a little bit about their lives. It’s sad to know they’re gone, but 27 is ultimately a cool celebration of their contributions to pop culture—plus, it’s one rockin’ evening that’ll have audiences up and out of their seats. –Kiko Miyasato Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, 702.693.5000 or ticketbat.com

Your tech will take the input you give and create swatches for you to sample before you make a final choice. Go ahead and be picky; it’s your color. If you like it, then a batch will be mixed up right before your eyes. If not, you can try another swatch. Once the ingredients are mixed in the proper ratios, the color is melted. Then your tech will pour it into a mold and put it in a freezer for cooling. While you are waiting for that to happen,
you’ll choose a custom name for the color and a font, then wait as a laser engraves the name on the tube. Your tech will seat the lipstick, pop on the magnetic (!) lid, and, voila, you are done. Wow. There are other items for sale in the boutique, like primer and liner, and you can add a second tube on for a reduced price.

Arthur Lucero
Creating magic behind the bar Arthur Lucero moved to Las Vegas to seek “more opportunity, something exciting, more social,” he says. And that’s exactly what he got! Lucero works as a model bartender for the Strip residency show Magic Mike Live Las Vegas at Sahara Las Vegas and he found everything that he’s been looking for. When he moved to the city in 2013 from Taos, N.M., he cut his teeth in the industry bartending for hot spots like Piranha nightclub. Then, in 2017, he heard about the Magic Mike movie franchise opening up a live show at the then-Hard Rock Hotel, so he decided to audition for one of its model bartender positions. He landed the job and stayed with the show until it closed at Hard Rock. He bartended at bars and restaurants in Park MGM until he caught wind that the show was opening at Sahara. “When I heard the show was set to reopen, I reached out to the managers, who were happy to welcome me back, which was a huge honor,” Lucero says.
The show recently celebrated its grand opening. “We get all types of guests from all over the country,” Lucero says. “They’re always a little nervous because they don’t know what to expect. As part of the model bartending team, the experience begins with us. I let them know, ‘Let’s have some fun tonight.’ The goal of the show is to remind women how powerful and precious they are, so celebrating them the moment they come up to the bar, that’s what it’s about. The smile you see when people walk out of the theater—you can see their aura glowing.” While Lucero works his magic behind the bar whipping up cocktails, I had to ask if he ever gets to shake his groove thang for guests, so to speak. “I always like to insert a corny joke when guests ask that. I like to tell them, ‘I auditioned but word-of-mouth straight from Channing Tatum (who conceived and co-produces the show), the only thing I have business shaking is a cocktail.’” Ha! –Kiko Miyasato

We put some cigars out that you can’t always get. You have to come see me and ask what I have tucked away in my closet, my cabinet.” In addition to enjoying a good cigar, Casa Fuente has some of the best mojitos in the city, especially the Tangerine mojito, definitely worth the visit. –Kiko Miyasato

Jean Georges Steakhouse at Aria strikes that balance, and despite what the name says, this is a restaurant where you can partake in a variety of unforgettable culinary experiences. The first thing that strikes you about Jean Georges Steakhouse is the way the dining room looks. There are no hard lines here; only soft, comforting curves. The entire room flows and has an ambience that begs you to stay as long as you like, and trust us, you’ll want to, especially when you start sampling signature cocktails. Japanese whiskey fans will love the Japanese Old-Fashioned, in which the spirit is enhanced by demerara sugar, ginger and bitters. Vodka lovers have their choice among the orange elderflower Cosmopolitan, with accents of cranberry and pineapple, the espresso martini, with coffee liqueur and espresso combining for quite a kick, and the JG Vesper, where gin, aperitif and lemon lift your spirits. The classic starters you would expect are all here—iceberg wedge and Caesar salads, bacon-wrapped shrimp and char-grilled octopus—and they all shine. Sometimes the familiar is a great way to start a meal! But this is a steakhouse, and you might want to be more adventurous and try the Japanese wagyu carpaccio, so flavorful and served with black truffle fritters. It’s meant to be shared, but you may find yourself wanting it all. If you want steak for your main course, we certainly couldn’t blame you. After all, all steaks are of the highest grade, and are all grilled on sustainable apricot wood and mesquite, finished with rendered beef fat, sea salt and cracked pepper. Whether you try an 8-ounce filet mignon, 8-ounce ribeye cap from Mishima Ranch, or 3-, 6- or 9-ounce A5 certified Kobe beef, you’ll be happy with your choice, especially when pairing it with king crab legs, diver scallops or bone marrow.

That being said, definitely scan the menu for other directions that you can go. The crunchy organic chicken, served with spinach and hot sauce, is immensely satisfying, as is the steamed halibut with green olive dressing, spinach and shallot crackling. The sides here are, again, some of the classics that you would expect, but with the Jean Georges touch, you know they’ll be unforgettable. Select from grilled asparagus, sautéed corn, creamed spinach, mashed Yukon Gold potatoes and much more.
You’ll find plenty of decadent choices here for dessert, including New Yorkstyle cheesecake with a sour cherry sorbet, warm Valrhona chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, and an assortment of market citrus, accompanied by yuzu cream, white chocolate and fruit.

In autumn, Las Vegas’ alfresco dining shines Fall has arrived and in Las Vegas, that means it’s time to take advantage of the most pleasant weather of the year at some of the city’s best restaurants with patios and alfresco options. Conveniently, there are several places to go where you can select from multiple outdoor dining options.

Bellagio is one of the best spots for such an experience because that lovely October climate is even more enjoyable when you’re watching those iconic fountains do their thing. One of the hottest spots in town right now is Wolfgang Puck’s legendary Spago (702.693.8181), partially due to the new brunch menu creating buzz
and available Friday through Sunday. Don’t miss the brioche French toast with toasted almond streusel and berry compote, or the savory baconand-eggs pizza with Parmesan and leeks. You can also sit outside by Bellagio’s lake at Lago by Julian Serrano (702.693.8865), where Spanish-style small-plate dining is applied to Italian

ingredients and favorite dishes. Start with delicate tuna or salmon crudo then move on to antipasto, artichoke and crab salad and tender lobster ravioli. Just across the street at Paris Las Vegas, outdoor dining is available at three distinctly different venues that all offer terrific views of the Strip. The obvious choice is Mon Ami Gabi (702.944.4224), the French bistro long favored for a sunny brunch or lunch of oysters on the half shell, croque monsieur, trout almondine or steak frites. A different energy can be enjoyed at Hexx Kitchen & Bar (702.331.5100), known for its global cuisine as well as memorable desserts and cocktails. And upstairs gets casual with Beer Park (702.444.4500), a rooftop haven for barbecue, bar food and more beer options than you can imagine. You don’t have to stay on the Strip to enjoy the outdoors with an amazing meal. Head out to Summerlin’s Red Rock Resort and experience Osteria Fiorella (702.797.7777), one of the city’s most talked-about new Italian restaurants serving primo pastas and much more. Its regal patio space is right next to another one from Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill (702.797.7444), where you could spend an afternoon or evening sipping sake and snacking on Hawaiian bigeye tuna poke, chicken lettuce wraps and teppanyaki beef, scallop or pork belly skewers. And the resort’s versatile American restaurant Hearthstone (702.797.7344) has one of the largest patio areas in the neighborhood, ready to accommodate groups of friends looking to feast on fresh oysters, pizzas, rotisserie chicken and prime rib. Red Rock definitely has you covered on the west side, but just east of the Strip resides one of the city’s all-time favorite restaurants that happens to have a perfect patio that doesn’t always get noticed. Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar (702.364.5300) really does offer something for everyone, and if your something is sampling incredible and rare Italian wines outside during cooler temps—maybe with a sausage and rapini pizza or some crispy fried calamari—Ferraro’s has that, too. –Brock Radke

Shut down and locked. Quitting time says the clock / that hangs on the wall / but oh, it’s so not last call. The mischief has just begun / the doors to Datamosh have swung, open. In this otherworldly land of Omega Mart / a market beyond super / a super marketing scheme / mind bending, unpredictable is the theme. Portals, lands, slides and scams. Mystery, history behind the nefarious corp / who invites guests to unlock the various doors / that take you beyond into other lands / where your mind will gladly bend into their hands. But tonight the cocktails have their own fun / one by one by one / coming to life before the sun / rises. They’ll trip, they’ll travel, they’ll enjoy the baffle / of the mind / when inside the art of Omega Mart / a store that picks your brain apart. The drinks come out at night. They’ve been given sight, flight, no longer bound to the bar to the right / of the entrance to the store / of unusual groceries, mostly. The drinks come out at night to frolic and explore / to find out exactly what’s in store.

Adam Steck keeps the stages filled Producer Adam Steck’s company, SPI Entertainment, is known not only for ushering in some of the Strip’s most popular and unique shows—including male revue Thunder From Down Under and a headlining residency from Boyz II Men—but also managing some of the busiest showrooms in town. Until recently, Steck’s focus was on the Thunderland Showroom at Excalibur, also home to The Mac King Comedy Magic Show, but this year SPI also partnered with The STRAT on the north end of the Strip to program its classic Vegas theater. Business has been booming for you in 2021 with lots of new projects, but has your original show, Thunder From Down Under, recovered well after last year’s temporary shutdown? Not only has the audience come back, they’ve come back in droves. We had a record summer. We’ve never done this kind

of business in our 20-year history in Las Vegas. It’s like the floodgates are open. All the bachelorette parties that couldn’t happen (during the last year), they’re making up for that. Girls 18 to 80 are coming back, letting their hair down and coming to see the show that’s been successful for so many years. The recent addition of Mac King to that room at Excalibur seems like a natural fit given his long success on the Strip and family-friendly appeal. Mac King is a legend. He’s been around town as long as me, so when I was asked if we could put this deal together and do the King at the castle, I thought it was a no-brainer. There are very few shows that can play in the afternoon with a brand like that. How did this new partnership with The STRAT come to be, and how did you
go about curating the new shows in that theater? I never stopped working (during the pandemic). I’m always plotting and planning how to expand, what shows can go where. This property just finished this $100 million renovation and it looks really good and has a great energy. The building is iconic, it has Top of the World, one of the coolest restaurants in town, and the showroom itself is phenomenal. For years, they only had one show there and I said I’d like to maximize the real estate and make the property stickier, so when people go there, they have multiple entertainment options. We set out to have shows at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., and now those spots are all filled. In addition to the ongoing MJ Live tribute show, you’ve added magic with Xavier Mortimer, mentalism with Banachek, a party dance show called iLuminate, and you have Sammy Hagar’s residency coming online later this month. I’m a rocker; classic rock is my jam, I love all kinds of music but I grew up in classic rock. Sammy is a legend, from his band Montrose back in the day to Van Halen, one of the biggest bands of all time, and after that he had the Circle ,which is also very successful. To have the opportunity to work with Sammy at The STRAT is unbelievable. He loves the room, he could have picked any place in town but he just loves the vibe there, and the whole idea is to bring his Cabo experience to Las Vegas. The showroom is going to be transformed into his club down there in Cabo. What are some of the keys to success in entertainment on the Strip? We have the history in Las Vegas to know what generally works. A show that might work in New York or off-Broadway or some other place might come in thinking it’s going to kick butt, and most of the time it doesn’t. Twenty-plus years of doing what we do, being on the ground in Las Vegas and being able to wear different hats and have different roles, it’s been quite amazing.

Cirque du Soleil’s The Beatles LOVE expands the experience of the iconic music 42
7.5.21
LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE
THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY Cirque du Soleil’s epic The Beatles LOVE is one of the most popular productions on the Las Vegas Strip and draws an incredible number of repeat visitors. The music goes a long way, of course, presenting some of the most familiar and beloved songs ever recorded. The show is also one of the more family-friendly large-scale presentations in the vast Vegas live entertainment landscape. But there’s something about LOVE that resonates in a more powerful way. It has often been referred to as one of the most emotional shows in Las Vegas, a meaningful compliment considering the many different ways these colorful productions connect with their audiences. It’s the careful combination of visuals and music that strengthens those ties in LOVE, as well as the dedicated commitment of the show’s brilliant artists and performers. The theater in the round at The Mirage is instantly fun and exciting, and every seat offers an intimate experience because of the brilliant design and technical capability of the venue. The stage and performers feel like they’re within your reach even if you’re sitting in the back row, and if you’ve already seen LOVE, you know there’s at least one moment of frenzied interactivity that makes everyone in the audience smile. It’s been well-documented how the band’s legendary producer George Martin
Cirque du Soleil has built an iconic show on the foundation of music and added something special to The Beatles’ body of work in the process. Every song paves the way into a new and different world of discovery, from floating aquatic creatures during Ringo Starr’s “Octopus’s Garden” to acrobatic skaters flying across the constantly shifting stage during “Help!” Quiet, romantic and heartbreaking moments stand out during “Yesterday” and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and The Beatles’ more psychedelic tunes are matched by otherworldly adventures. A smash hit since its debut The Mirage in 2006, The Beatles LOVE 702.792.7777 is one of the most popular shows in the history of the Las Vegas Strip. Everybody loves it, including the remaining members of the group who stay in contact with the producers and have revisited the show and the theater through the years, always expressing their pride in this unique collaboration. It stands out among other Cirque productions around the world and remains a Las Vegas highlight no matter how the city’s entertainment scene has evolved. There’s just something about LOVE, the theater, the music, the artistry, that fills your heart.
and his son Giles layered pieces from 120plus original Beatles recordings to create the music for LOVE. That unconventional approach results in a cacophonous, exhilarating soundtrack, and the stellar audio system in the theater is always being tweaked and bolstered to maintain the venue as the best possible environment to consume this music. These classic songs obviously transcend different generations, but the most incredible feat is how

Room for Improvement
Why staging a key area could make a world of difference in selling your home You’ve made the decision to sell your home. But are you confident that it will sell quickly once prospective buyers get a look at the interior? If not, that’s where Stately Home Staging comes in. The Las Vegas-based company specializes in really making areas of your home pop, and this week’s installment focuses on one of the most important: The living room. This issue, Las Vegas Magazine’s Ken Miller interviewed Heidi Carlsen, lead interior designer with Stately Home Staging, to get some answers that will hopefully make you make a more informed decision when you are selling your property.

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE
Why is the living room so important to stage when selling a home? The living room is arguably one of the most utilized spaces in the home, where people spend a majority of their time. It’s a place for entertaining, spending quality time with loved ones and relaxing. Because of this, it’s important to take extra special care in staging this area so that potential buyers can truly visualize themselves cozying up with family or entertaining company . What are some of the most important things to remember when staging the living room?
It’s important to take into account how the space is going to be used by skillfully demonstrating its capabilities through design—all while simultaneously overcoming any obstacles the room may present. These obstacles often play a role in why the home may not be selling. Is the living room too large or too long? Are there floor-to-ceiling windows and very minimal wall space? In these instances, it’s important to show the buyers how to make the room function for their lifestyle. You must inspire them to think about where furniture could be placed, where a TV might be set up, or where other entertaining may happen.

It’s also important to remember that when it comes to style, to not be exceedingly taste-specific. Neutral colors are ideal and personal items from previous owners should be discarded for the staging. In general, why is staging important? First impressions are everything. Staging emphasizes a home’s strengths and minimizes its weaknesses. It allows the property to be showcased at its maximum potential. How much experience does your company have in this field? Stately Home Staging has an extensive background in retailing luxury furnishings and interior design. We have been staging for almost three years.

Can’t Beat It Yes, Michael Jackson is a polarizing figure. No one is disputing that. But the impact of his art on so many things—fashion, dancing and, of course, music—is also an indisputable fact. It’s nearly impossible to avoid The Gloved One’s influence in modern entertainment; countless musical artists acknowledge

that they feel they owe their careers to his inspiration. Another indisputable fact: Vegas visitors love Michael Jackson tribute shows. Before the pandemic shutdown, there were no fewer than four iterations of the King of Pop along the Strip. And one of them, MJ Live (The
