Whether you’re a movie buff, a history nut or just a fan of the classics, you’ll feel like a kid in a candy store at The Auto Collections at The LINQ. Since 2000, The Auto Collections has been the nation’s largest classic car showroom, buying and trading more than 200 fully restored classic cars on display— and every car has a story.

With an ever-rotating inventory, you never know what you’ll discover at The Auto Collections. No matter how many times you visit, there’s always a reason to come back. Ownership of past and present cars runs the gamut from heads of state and world leaders to stars of music, movies and stage—from a 1939 Chrysler Royal Sedan that belonged to talk show legend Johnny Carson to a 1962 Lincoln Continental Town Limousine used by President John F. Kennedy.

And it’s not just the collection itself; the attention to detail on every car is remarkable. From color and paint to bells and whistles, every car is impeccably presented and maintained.

Whether you spend an hour or several hours here, The Auto Collections is a truly rewarding experience for your eyes and imagination.

What do Olivia Newton-John, Britney Spears, Jenny McCarthy and Grumpy Cat all have in common? They’ve all taken a trip on the High Roller, the world’s tallest observation wheel towering 550 feet above the Las Vegas Strip. A relative newcomer, the High Roller is already one of the “must-visit” spots in town.

The 28 massive, state-of-the-art pods offer everything from eight screens featuring videos, music and trivia to fully stocked bars in select pods as part of “Happy Half Hour.”

Each holds up to 40 people, so group excursions are heavily encouraged. For an “only-in-Vegas” experience, you can even get married here!

The High Roller offers a great social experience, but don’t miss out on the amazing views. As the pods slowly rotate during the 30-minute trip, you’ll get ever-escalating vistas of the Strip and Las Vegas Valley. As you hit that perfect angle, have your camera at the ready—this is why selfies were invented.

Las Vegas is referred to as the Entertainment Capital of the World, but spend a few hours at the Eiffel Tower Experience at Paris Las Vegas and you’ll feel like you’re in the Romance Capital of the World. The hotel itself already perfectly re-creates the cobblestone streets, shopping districts and art of its namesake, but the Eiffel Tower Experience is the icing on a very decadent French pastry.

This half-scale replica of Paris’ iconic structure takes you up 460 feet in the air for incredible views of the Las Vegas Strip and beyond from the observation deck. Whether the two of you are gazing at tourists on the ground below or any variety of Strip sights, you’ll feel like you’re the only couple on Earth. It’s the perfect ambience for any date night. Fall in love all over again.

NOTES

UPCOMING Come back soon!

From the Editor A fond look back

As we all look forward to 2016, it’s worth noting this year was a particularly great one for Las Vegas—and for the magazine you’re holding in your hands. The entertainment scene continues to grow and push outward. Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Rascal Flatts and Reba, Brooks & Dunn all signed on for extended runs, further proof of the city’s appeal for hot-ticket acts. Entertainers such as Carrot Top, Donny & Marie and Britney Spears all extended their residencies. And the Strip saw the opening of several new shows, including Mat Franco—Magic Reinvented Nightly at The Linq and Piff the Magic Dragon Solo Show at Flamingo. (Coincidentally, both men did very well on America’s Got Talent).

The dining and nightlife scenes have never been more varied or exciting. Restaurants like Lago at Bellagio, Yardbird at The Venetian, Carbone at Aria, Hexx Kitchen & Bar at Paris and Mr. Chow at Caesars Palace expanded an already amazing dining scene, and nightlife continues to evolve with Omnia’s opening at Caesars Palace.

Las Vegas Magazine brought all this to you and much more. We interviewed Tim Allen, Kris Kristofferson and “Weird Al” Yankovic. We introduced you to the DJs who perform at SLS, the clowns who make you laugh at Circus Circus, and the stage managers who keep things humming at Raiding the Rock Vault, Jersey Boys and Tournament of Kings. Here’s to a continuation of that spirit of discovery—and fun—in 2016.

scene

Some of it’s already pre-recorded so I don’t have to worry about getting over to the turntables.

Then there’s other parts where there’s a record that’s just rocking and I don’t even have to play drums, that I just have a scratch routine or something to scratch over. And then I have live drums up there, like a New Orleans jazz kit basically, so you stand up.

Everything’s just right here. And then I have a little electronic pad that has 808 snare, 808 kick drum, 808 ride cymbal, and a couple of other samples, like vocal samples. It’s hectic but it’s really fun.

So you don’t use loop stations or anything like that?

No, because I was always afraid if I hit the wrong loop station (pedal) and there’s silence, I go back into what I just played. It could be a mess.

Travis Barker

Musician mixes in a whole new aspect to club appearances Superstar skinsman Travis Barker seems to be everywhere, all the time. He came to the music world’s attention playing drums for Blink 182, then became hip-hop’s most in-demand organic beat-maker, whether playing live with The Black Eyed Peas or recording with The Game. A collaborative friendship with the late DJ AM led to the solo drums-and-DJing sets he now presents at his periodic Hyde at Bellagio residency Give the Drummer Some, which may feature guest artists from his latest single “100”—or a marching band if he can get it (he’s at Hyde Bellagio on Jan. 2). Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen spoke to Barker recently.

Is Give the Drummer Some a natural progression from playing drums with DJ AM? The only time I bought turntables and a mixer, I got in a fight on a Blink tour and I broke my hand.

It was a huge bum-out, but the cool thing about the summer was I stayed home and I learned how

24 12.27.15 LasVegasMagazine.com

to scratch and cut and do a couple of things on the turntables, which was really fun. Then after AM passed, I played with a couple of different DJs, and I had a great time. Six months ago, I was sitting in my studio and I was recording with someone, I forget who it was.

And I was like, “Man, the idea of

drumming and DJing at the same time.” I’m with a group of people and they’re like, “That would be incredible.” So I locked myself in my studio for, like, five, six weeks and I figured it out.

Did you use loop stations or is it strictly drums and turntables?

You’ve done this before, right?

I did this here for a Famous (Stars and Straps, Barker’s clothing line) party, like fight weekend for Mayweather/Pacquiao. And then afterwards I was already planning a couple of other gigs and they said, “Yo, we had such a great response and everyone loved it so much that we’d like to give you a residency here.” So I’m here.

Do you feature guest artists at your residency?

Hopefully these dates coincide with one of my friend’s (album) or someone I work with’s album that comes out so we can promote their single and put it in my set.

I also like the idea of getting a marching band or something to accompany me. That would be sick. I have all these ideas … I plan on bringing surprises and tricks out of the bag every time.

Do you just want the holidays to last a tad bit longer? Head over to the Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens for a 42-foot white fir tree decked out in 7,000 white lights and 2,500 ornaments. Wander through an attraction with giant snowflakes, a family of polar bears created from white carnations, 28,000 poinsettias, four animated toy soldiers, 12-foot snow globes and four 10-foot stockings hanging from the ceiling. You’ll want to skate in soon though, as the special display is only open through Jan. 3.

British Invasion

Cue the squeals and tears of joy. Yes, fans of British pop band One Direction can now touch, hug and take selfies with their wax figures at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas at The Venetian.

Kicking it on a set of bleachers are stunning look-alike wax versions of the original lineup: Niall, Liam, Harry, Louis and Zayn. The figures are dressed in outfits each member personally picked out and each wax likeness took nearly four months to create at a cost of around $300,000 each. The display lasts through February.

If you’re wondering how quickly hotels are built on the Strip, consider this: During a one-year period from 2007 to 2008, one floor was added to Aria by construction crews every seven days.

Decoration in Las Vegas is serious business.

The impressive statue of St. Patrick at Rí Rá at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place weighs 500 pounds.

The Las Vegas Monorail, which began operations in 2004, has accommodated more than 65 million riders over its history.

Special menus abound for New Year’s Eve, including the M Resort’s Anthony’s Prime Steak and Seafood (702.797.1000), which features buffalo tomahawk ribeye and much, much more.

On the High Roller at The Linq (702.322.0537), blow it out with a private cabin on the upper half of the observation wheel while enjoying a premium open bar (21-plus, starts at $6,250). Tickets for the lower cabins start at $250 per person. For another in-the-sky party, Stratosphere offers parties at Level 103, 104, 107 and 108.

Sound and Fury From musical influence to political impact, few artists match the career of Morrissey.

Since blowing up the music world with The Smiths in the ’80s, Steven Patrick Morrissey has enjoyed a long solo career, particularly

26 12.27.15 LasVegasMagazine.com

in his native U.K., where many of his albums have shot to the top of the charts. He would be enough of a legend just on the basis of songs like “Glamorous Glue,” “Hairdresser On Fire” and “Every Day Is Like Sunday” alone,

but he’s also been both revered and criticized for his outspokenness on issues like animal rights and immigration. He’s also a rare visitor to Las Vegas, so don’t miss the opportunity to experience a true musical icon.

Putting on His Stand-Up Hat As his name implies, Cedric the Entertainer is accomplished at multiple types of entertaining. He began his career as a stand-up comedian in the early ’90s, and he was the host of BET’s ComicView for one season. He moved into acting with supporting movie roles and as a regular on the sitcom The Steve Harvey Show, and he’s since appeared in films including the Barbershop series, Cadillac Records, Talk to Me and many more. And he’s been a game-show host on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and stars in the TV Land sitcom The Soul Man. Despite such a busy schedule, Cedric remains a working stand-up comedian, bringing his affable stage presence to fans around the country (he’s at the Hard Rock Hotel Dec. 30). Thanks to his appearances and performances, Cedric is familiar to a wide audience, and his comedy appeals to a broad range of people. No matter what he does, the bottom line remains the same: He’s in it to entertain. –Josh Bell

Nick Jonas may be at the height of his career.

The former member of the Jonas Brothers topped the charts with “Jealous,” “Chains” and “Levels,” all in his medley at the American Music Awards last month. Jonas keeps his reign strong with the re-release of eponymous solo album Nick Jonas X2, which features “Good Thing,” a collaboration with rapper Sage the Gemini.

After such a successful year, it’s only right that the pop star celebrates New Year’s Eve with a Vegas bash. Join in and toast to 2016 with Jonas at Foxtail nightclub. –Chanelle Hayes SLS Las Vegas, opens at 8 p.m. Dec. 31, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.761.7619

Intoxicating Theater Watching a performer push his strength to the limit is a suspenseful and beautiful act.

Absinthe at Caesars Palace, a variety show with touches of vaudeville, burlesque and circus acts, delivers such spectacle again and again.

Host The Gazillionaire and assistant Joy Jenkins deliver bits of R- and sometimes X-rated comedy. Don’t be surprised to find yourself laughing uncontrollably as they tear into various audience members—trust us, no holds are barred. The Green Fairy, portrayed by singer Melody Sweets, tap-dancing twins Sean and John Scott and bubble girl Charlie Starling all shine, but the feats of strength will grab a whole other side of your attention.

Acrobat Ruslan Khusinov stacks chair upon chair, balancing in precarious positions until he adds a final eighth chair and then looks down upon the audience from a handstand at the top.

Another fierce balancing act is four-man team

Atlantis, creating a fluid human totem pole. Absinthe is truly intoxicating, easily mixing lighter entertainment with acrobatic acts performed with grace, ease and perfection. –Kiko Miyasato

Savor the Flavors of Thailand Lemongrass at Aria was the first true Thai restaurant on the Strip when it debuted in late 2009. At Lemongrass you’ll find all the dishes one might regularly devour at any friendly neighborhood Thai restaurant, only here they are done to a turn every time. Grilled Malaysian-style skewers, satay, come in six varieties of meat, and Thai-style chicken wings achieve the ideal crispy-juicy balance.

Explore the most authentic dishes for a taste of homestyle cooking—perhaps some addictive curried fish cakes or marinated and grilled pork

neck—a richly flavored textural odyssey—with tamarind sauce. This version of tom kha soup, tender chicken swimming in an ambrosial blend of coconut milk and lemongrass, is smooth and soothing, one of the best in the city.

For a bit of everything, Lemongrass offers the Signature Tasting Menu ($59 per person, $29 beverage pairing available) highlighting familiar flavors. Lemongrass is one of the most overlooked gems in all of Las Vegas—and a must-try dining experience. –Brock Radke Aria, 11 a.m.-2 a.m. daily. 877.230.2742

Silly Circus Sundae Although you might not find this treat on the menu at Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace, you’ll probably find it on your table, now that you know it exists. Serendipity builds the off-the-menu dessert with some of the most iconic sweets and flavors of childhood, placing cotton candy, frosted animal crackers, marshmallow sauce, raspberry sauce and rainbow sprinkles over vanilla and strawberry ice cream. It’s available for $14. Silly this circus might be, but it’s delicious as well.

No Plane Speaking

Free fall needn’t mean ascent to clouds Can you do anything 53 times in a row, in one minute? Bradley Hess can, and did—even when a wind tunnel, weightlessness and minddizzying somersaults were a part of the task. In fact, Hess went into the Guinness Book of World Records for most forward somersaults in a wind tunnel in one minute. The event was recorded in Las Vegas last year, at Vegas Indoor Skydiving, where Hess is the general manager.

At Vegas Indoor Skydiving, guests can experience body flight—an adventure that’s very similar to skydiving, without the plane and thousands of feet of sky between you and the ground. The simulated free fall experience takes place inside a stationary, vertical wind tunnel that stretches 22-feet high and is outfitted with

32 12.27.15 LasVegasMagazine.com

a mesh trampoline floor and foam-padded walls.

Underneath a wire netting sits a DC-3 propeller, this is the device that will create winds up to 120 miles per hour.

Each flyer gets three flights to test out their skills, with the first move starting fliers out on their belly on top of the net, and in seconds up in the air. The next two tries are more adventurous, if you can handle it. Each flight is about one minute long, and doesn’t require any experience. But, for the safety of everyone, each flier is accompanied by an experienced instructor, who will even fly next to you, or spin you, or flip you in circles, once you’re airborne. If you’re brave enough, you might even want to try out a forward somersault … just not 53 of them quite yet. –Kiko Miyasato

Golden Rules You’ve heard that all that glitters is not gold? You heard wrong. Gold glitters brightly—and everywhere—at Paint the Town Gold, Mandalay Bay’s extravagant New Year’s Eve celebration. During the event, enjoy gold-themed décor and spirits at lounges and bars including the sports book, the Mizuya Lounge (featuring gold LED lighting), the Eyecandy sound lounge (with go-go-dancers in gold) and the Orchid Lounge (check out the gold cigar section).

Pure fun also waits inside several restaurants, including golden flake desserts, balloon drops and specialty drinks. At Fleur by Hubert Keller, enjoy a four-course meal with gold-accented candles, balloons and tablecloths. Special décor and menus highlight Stripsteak and the Bayside Buffet. Ditto at Charlie Palmer’s Aureole, which offers a Gold Martini.

Decadent Slice Humor Him Juggler and comic Jeff Civillico’s Comedy In Action show could easily be titled Civillico In Action, since that certainly describes his dynamic act.

Civillico sees himself as a physical comedian who does physical stunts in his show. “It is a comedy show and spontaneous,” Civillico said. What you can expect is lots of interaction by audience members—he even has some of them directly participate in the stunts.

Before the party begins at midnight Dec. 31, dive into New Year’s Eve specials such as the Florida stone crab with mustard dipping sauce, white truffle risotto and minced chives, 16-ounce veal porterhouse or 3-pound Maine lobster with New England cracker gratin. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Palms, 5:30-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 5:30-11 p.m.

Intriguingly Erotic Scenes

Nutty Nuptials It’s a family affair at Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding. The interactive dinner show puts you right in the thick of the Brooklyn brouhaha as Tina Vitale and Tony Nunzio commit to one another. Along with the vows come the “wows” during the reception, where showgoers become guests of the wedding. A drunk priest, a gumchomping pregnant bridesmaid, stripper girlfriend ... they’re all part of this wedding melee—and you get to be part of it all.

Eat classic Italian food such as pasta, salad and breadsticks, all served buffetstyle. If a stranger asks you to get up and dance to the live music, go ahead. It may

be another guest like yourself or, more likely, a member of the outrageous cast.

Pose for the roaming wedding photographer and take a slice of the wedding cake.

Witness the tension between the mother of the bride and father of the groom. You can become as involved in the romp as you want or just sit back and enjoy the dinner and show.

The chicken dance and conga line keep the reception rolling, as do the drunken fights. –Kiko Miyasato Bally’s, 5:30 p.m. Mon., Wed. & Fri.Sat., $119.89-$144.09 VIP plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782

One of the Las Vegas Strip’s longest-running acts, Dirk Arthur (Westgate Las Vegas, 800.222.5361) is a true throwback to vintage Las Vegas. Felines, including a snow leopard, white Bengal tiger and black panther are just part of his Wild Magic show.

Provocative, sexy, a little naughty.

If that sounds like the kind of night you desire, then Zumanity, delivers.

Emcee Edie, the Mistress of Sensuality, tickles her way through the show as the narrator. Red mohawk-sporting audience favorite Brandon Pereyda straps into chains hanging above the stage for some erotic aerials paired with a solo cellist. In an act that could be in the next Fifty Shades of Grey novel, aerialist Jill Crook gets physical with straps wrapping around her body. In the finale, all cast members lounge about on a lazy Susan of a stage and chose audience members. Be forewarned: There may be some light petting. –Susan Stapleton New York-New York, 7 & 9:30 p.m.

Tues.-Sat., additional 7 & 9:30 p.m. show Dec. 27, 7 p.m. show only Dec. 31, $69-$99, $129 for duo sofas (sold in pairs only), 18+. 702.740.6815

Not only is America’s Got Talent winner Mat Franco (The Linq Hotel, 702.777.2782) a worldclass magician, he’s one of the most personable people you’d want to meet. He involves his audiences and even changes his show each night— hence the title, Magic Reinvented Nightly.

Let the Combat Commence UFC 195 brings fierce fighters to the Octagon One is “Ruthless.” One is a “Natural Born Killer.”

Neither—judging by their nickname—will go gentle into that good night. Nor should they at the UFC 195 face-off between Robbie Lawler (the ruthless welterweight champ with a 26-10 record) and Carlos Condit (the ex-interim champ with the killer charm who has racked up 30 wins over only eight losses and has his sights on Lawler’s title).

Postponed from November due to a thumb injury Lawler suffered during training, the match is predicted by the Los Angeles Times to be “as subtle as a punch in the face” and “a stand-up slugfest.” Not blunt enough? Consider the website bloodyelbow.com’s recommendation: “Treasure the disgustingly high violence potential.”

38 12.27.15 LasVegasMagazine.com

Both men’s reach is similar (Lawler’s is 74 inches, Condit’s is 75), although Condit is taller by 3 inches, making the match-up more interesting. Also known as the Albuquerque Bandit, the New Mexico-born Condit, 31, began wrestling at age 9, then at 15 studied Gaidojutso (wrestling, kickboxing and judo techniques) before turning pro as a mixed martial artist at 18. In his first fight, he triumphed in less than a minute against Nick Roscorla, and continued an impressive run, winning his next four bouts in the first round.

“For me, this is a creative outlet, like putting together great notes,” Condit said at a news conference, reported by the Times. “We put together great techniques, we develop different combinations to solve different problems.”

Hailing originally from San Diego, 33-yearold Lawler began training in karate at age 9, later winning all-state honors in wrestling and football, before coming under the tutelage of Pat Miletich, UFC’s first welterweight champ and hall of fame member. Kicking off his professional career in 2001 at age 19, Lawler won his first four fights by knockout or technical knockout en route to champion status. “I don’t need to do all the trash talking,” Lawler once said. “I try to do it with my fists, my knees and my feet.”

Expect two fighters going violently into that good night. –Steve Bornfeld MGM Grand, 3:30 p.m. Jan. 2, $104$804 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

The Right Slice Step inside Center Cut Steakhouse at Flamingo and you’ll find a sleek, rounded, black-and-white space, a refreshing twist on the leather-and-dark wood appearances chophouses employ. There is a must-order among the starters—sweet lobster medallions, huge king crab legs, fresh raw oysters and U-4 shrimp compose Center Cut’s seafood tower.

After a bowl of onion soup or lobster bisque, you’ll be ready for the main event. The 28-ounce tomahawk ribeye is the flashiest—and most powerfully flavorful—steak in the spotlight. There’s also a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye, which comes from Aspen Ridge Farms in Colorado. A thick cut of prime rib is crusted with horseradish and fresh herbs. Other land-dwelling meals include a blue cheese-crusted rack of lamb with rosemary jus, bacon-wrapped New York skirt steak or a New York strip topped with Dungeness crab. From the sea, choose between Scottish salmon, sautéed diver scallops or Chilean sea bass. –Brock Radke

One Sexy Throwback Imagination Flows The production of “O” makes a spectacular entrance, as the crimson curtain is not so much peeled back from, but pulled into the abyss of a glittering pool.

Synchronized swimmers splash, “zebras” cavort on the side of the pool and birds dive about, starting the surrealistic images that flow through the remainder of the show as an audience volunteer weaves in and out of other scenes. Platforms appear, providing acrobats an environment on which to ply

And the show’s celebrated swimmers play fanciful creatures teeming in the water.

Our volunteer watches and waits and joins in, till from a floating basket the red curtain unfurls and he leaves, like us, a witness to the magnificence of “O.” –Nina King

Doesn’t lobster and avocado salad with black truffle vinaigrette, sautéed foie gras with port poached fig and wild hibiscus flowers soup, potato-crusted Mediterranean sea bass and Japanese A5 Kobe beef strip loin sound scrumptious? Mignardises and gourmandises (miniature pastries and other sweet treats) are included, too.

With three seating times to choose from, starting at 5-5:30 p.m., at Giada (The Cromwell, 855.442.3271) you’ll be in for a real treat.

Patrick Nothstine

Beverage manager soaks up success in Sin City Patrick Nothstine deserves a pat on the back.

“About seven years ago I told myself I’m going to wear a suit to work, every day,” he explained.

“And now I’ve reached that goal.”

Nothstine is relishing his career as beverage manager at Caesars Palace. “Blessed is the best way to describe it,” he said. “But also, hard work and dedication. It’s been 14 years and I’ve worked my way up to where I am.”

Born in Oklahoma City and raised in Atlanta, Nothstine’s first job in the food and beverage industry was working the drive-through window at a Wendy’s fast food restaurant. From there he’s been a dishwasher, server, cook, bartender, bar manager, restaurant manager and assistant general manager at various venues in Atlanta.

Two years ago, he moved to Las Vegas. “I’d never been to Vegas before,” said Nothstine,

50 12.27.15 LasVegasMagazine.com

adding that he was well aware of the city’s reputation as a world leader in the industry.

While he worked at various properties bartending, he found the perfect fit eight months ago when Caesars Palace hired him.

“After the first week I got my bearings and it’s just been fantastic every since,” he said.

As the beverage manager for the large resort, Nothstine said, “Any alcoholic beverage that comes out onto the casino floor and bars, I’ve had my hand in it somehow.” Whether it’s ordering the new “it” spirit or revamping an entire cocktail menu, Nothstine stays on top of the beverage trends; he’s constantly doing research.

“I’m always looking for what’s the next best thing in cocktails,” he said. “If it’s going to be trendy, if it’s going to be a hit, I’ll make sure Caesars is on top of it.” –Kiko Miyasato

Jan. 1 is International Bloody Mary Day, and in honor of hangovers everywhere caused by heavy partying on Dec. 31, the Apostrophe Bar at Caesars Palace (located near the Bacchanal Buffet—another perfect remedy for hangovers) is offering the Absolut Bloody Mary, Jan. 1-2, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The “hair of the dog” cocktail mixes vodka with Caesars Palace’s house-made Bloody Mary mix and adds celery, carrot, shrimp, bacon, cherry tomato and blue cheese olive as garnish.

Now, if this concoction won’t cure what ails you, we’re not sure what else will! –KM

The center houses cardio machines, weight-training equipment, personal fitness stations, free weights, yoga mats and Pilates balls; a resident SLS trainer is available for those looking for workout guidance.

Before settling into one of the 10 treatment rooms, one of the spa attendants will take you to the locker room. The spacious space, decorated in all white with hints of pink and silver, with white orchids and lit candles, provides oversized showers and vanities with complimentary toiletries, lotions and hair and body care.

Relaxation rooms are also available for guests to unwind. Intimate with just a couple of lounge chairs, these rooms are a more private space for individuals or a couple. Instead of walls, white billowy curtains (a repeated design element used throughout the spa) separate each room and a soft white light illuminates the quiet space while soothing ambient music floats through the air.

At Ciel, guests can choose from massage, skin, body and signature services. The signature Soul Lifting Sanctuary service is a detoxifying body treatment combined with massage, while the Soft Like Silk hydrating body wrap includes a scalp and full-body massage. Organic enzyme peels and the Custom Deep Conditioning Body Wrap are perfect to wipe away the winter wear and tear on the skin. Reflexology, mother-to-be and couple’s massage are also available. And, if you are headed out for a night out on the town, the Red Carpet Facial is sure to make you sparkle and shine. –Kiko Miyasato SLS Las Vegas, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily, 702.761.7088

Purple Craze

A perfect hue for day or night Rock a lavender pout during the day or a pop of plum shadow in the wee hours to heat up your look. Let your lips do the talking in shades of purple (like Estée Lauder’s sculpting lipstick in Shameless Violet or Envy Liquid Potion in Savage Garden, and Make Up For Ever’s #14 Rouge Artist Intense Lip). Pops of purple for eyes and lips deliver office chic, while a winestained pucker pumps it up when the sun goes down. Try pairing a dark lip with pale violet shadow (like Sephora’s Downtown Girl) or a sheer glossy stain (YSL Vernis À Lèvres’ 17— Encre Rose) with bold berry eyeliner. These easy-to-wear hues are wildly flattering on every skin tone! –Zee Clemente

CELEBRATE NEW YEAR’S WITH NEW SOUNDS

AT THE VENETIAN速 LAS VEGAS

Perhaps no other band embodies post-millennium pop rock more than Maroon 5, which returns to Las Vegas for what’s become an annual New Year’s Eve pilgrimage.

Having worked out the kinks in the ’90s as rock ’n’ roll undergrads, the L.A. born-and-bred musicians burst onto the early 2000s scene with a sunny funk sound and coyly sexual lyricism that was (mostly) safe enough for broadcast. Adam Levine, contrasting with caricatures of the previous decade’s frontmen, was decidedly not

58 12.27.15 LasVegasMagazine.com

suffering from a post-traumatic stressful upbringing. He was capable of stepping forward as a pin-up idol while remaining a team player with his bandmates, most of whom he had known since their SoCal school days.

Songs About Jane was the debut of Maroon 5 if not the debut of current members Levine, Mickey Madden and Jesse Carmichael playing together. As Kara’s Flowers, with original Maroon 5 drummer Ryan Dusick, they released a 1997 album produced by Rob

Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls) that failed to gain traction. The boys went their separate ways and came back together as men with a new name, new guitarist James Valentine and a sound that suited the early 2000s zeitgeist. Songs about betrayal and breakups were delivered via hard funk riffing (“Harder to Breathe”), irresistible bouncy hooks (“This Love”) and wistful romanticism (“She Will Be Loved”). For a generation ready to have fun again, Maroon 5 was the right band at the right time.

After three platinum-selling albums, just as it seemed like Maroon 5’s turn at the top was on the verge of fading, 2011 monster hit “Moves Like Jagger” propelled the band forward into the next decade. Helped in no small part

by Levine’s high-profile gig on The Voice and a guest vocal by Christina Aguilera, the song’s popularity set the stage for Maroon 5 to reach supergroup status.

The band followed up 2012’s hit-laden album Overexposed with last year’s V, which reached No. 1

By Matt Kelemen Photo by Vincent Perini

Maroon 5 is making moves like a group that plans to stay on top for a long time within weeks of its 2014 release and garnered the most singles for the band from one album since its 2003 breakthrough.

Overexposed was a turning point in the band’s approach to songwriting, in which they invited collaborators such as “Moves Like Jagger” co-writer Benny Blanco into the fold. V continued in that direction, yielding hits such as “Maps,” “Animals” and “Sugar,” as Maroon 5 took on a touring itinerary that extends through September 2016. There

are breaks in the schedule for Levine’s commitments to The Voice, but his bandmates openly recognize the benefits that come with a high-profile singer, and indeed, seem relieved that they can focus on playing while Levine’s various pursuits indirectly publicize the band.

Levine, at this stage, is not making career moves like Mick Jagger, who released some forgettable solo albums before The Rolling Stones successfully entered their productive

twilight years. He has his own fragrance line, is parlaying The Voice into development deals, and gets offers to participate in prestigious events such as Sinatra 100: A Grammy Celebration, which took place Dec. 2 in Las Vegas and was broadcast days later in primetime by CBS. But there’s no sign that he or any of the band members—now including drummer Matt Flynn and keyboardist PJ Morton—feel the need to leave the band. If anything, they’ve revealed a

desire to return to their Songs About Jane roots, as evidenced in a November Facebook fan chat. There’s no end in sight for Maroon 5—or their annual tradition of New Year’s Eve concerts in Las Vegas.

Old-School Smooth These days, music in Las Vegas is dominated

by DJs spinning electronic dance music in nightclubs, but there’s still a dedicated (if smaller) contingent of fans who value the oldschool Vegas style of sophisticated crooning, singing classic standards in a retro setting.

Although he’s not a Vegas resident, singer Michael Bublé (MGM Grand, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster) is probably the most famous

modern proponent of this vintage approach, and whenever he makes one of his occasional visits to Vegas, it feels like a natural fit.

Bublé got his start on Canadian TV before meeting producer David Foster, who produced Bublé’s self-titled 2003 debut album. Bublé’s throwback material has never been in line with contemporary trends, but he’s a consistent Billboard chart-topper, and he’s collaborated

with artists ranging from Barry Gibb and Boyz II Men to Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.

Although he still focuses on interpretations of classic songs, Bublé also records original songs that evoke the same style, and his most recent album, 2013’s To Be Loved, features four original tunes. He’ll bring both those original compositions and a strong lineup of classics to his live show in Vegas on Jan. 1. –Josh Bell

Flavor Party So you want a sophisticated meal—35 Steaks & Martinis (Hard Rock Hotel, 702.693.5585) can deliver. The festivities begin with a presentation of a tray featuring the evening’s available cuts. Peruse all you want—you don’t necessarily have to choose exactly which cut you’ll be devouring, but it’s an appetizing harbinger of what’s to come. Perhaps you’ll venture to try the New York strip, bone-in filet mignon or bone-in Kansas City strip which, like Strip House’s celebrated tomahawk, is dry-aged for 35 days—aging that really intensifies the steak flavor. The strip, like other steaks on the menu, delivers on its promise as a carnivore’s delight.

But if you’re considering a different red meat, the lamb duo excels. One half of the pair is a traditional roasted chop, while the more irreverent second act is braised crispy leg converted into forcemeat and served wrapped in phyllo dough. While minted couscous and feta cream provide Mediterranean accompaniments typically associated with lamb, this exemplary presentation is nothing but unique.

For New Year’s Eve, the restaurant has created a special menu, with Shigoku oysters, foie gras bon bons, lamb Vadouvan, truffle-crusted diver scallops, a 3-pound lobster and an espresso martini for two, which comes with petit fours. And feel free to delve into the diverse selection of 35 martinis, including the Spicy Serrano. –Jim Begley

Comfort and Style Like plenty of other companies, Skechers (skechers.com) started out small, beginning by selling skate shoes and boots in 1992. Fans still love that skatewear vibe, but comfort has become a big reason for Skechers’ success. Today, the company has more than 3,000 styles, with athletic shoes, boots, sandals and even dress and work shoes. Find them in department and independent stores as well as stand-alone stores all over the world, including at Fashion Show, Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort and Town Square. Given that, it should be easy to find a few pairs you’ll love.

While you’re shopping, you may notice the BOBS tag on some styles. Buying from the BOBS line actually means that you help Skechers give away footwear to children in need and help with other charitable causes, including saving dogs’ and cats’ lives through a partnership with Best Friends Animal Society. Looking good both literally and figuratively! Whether you want a casual look for winter or want to take new boots home, you can look to Skechers for your next pair. –Nina King courts. 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Sun., 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Mon.-Sat., holiday hours may vary, 7400 Las Vegas Blvd.

Mob Rule Few American cities boast history with the kind of bang, shall we say, of Las Vegas—a place where Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel is, at least in the popular imagination, considered one of our city fathers. While we won’t call the opportunity to learn more about the mob’s history here and in America at large an offer you can’t refuse, we can’t imagine you’d resist a visit to the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement.

Shorthand: The Mob Museum (300 Stewart Ave. 702.229.2734).

Opening on Feb. 14, 2012—the 83rd anniversary of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre—the museum explores organized crime through perspectives of both mobsters and law enforcement. Among famous figures you’ll come across on three jam-packed floors: Al Capone, Eliot Ness, Bugsy Siegel, Tony “The Ant” Spilotro, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, J. Edgar Hoover, Howard Hughes, Donnie Brasco, Meyer Lansky, Moe Sedway, Moe Dalitz, Frank Costello, Sam Giancana, Charles “Lucky” Luciano and John Gotti.

Copious history is covered, stretching from the Prohibition era and weaving through the mob’s trafficking in gambling, drugs, prostitution, bootlegging and casino moneyskimming. Much of the story is told through photos, touch-screen/multimedia exhibits and text, but the museum also offers an interactive experience. Pretend-shoot a genuine tommy gun, eavesdrop on FBI surveillance wiretaps, experience the bureau’s weapons training in a police simulator and lounge in a replica electric chair. –Steve Bornfeld

ROBIN LEACH OUT & ABOUT

Strip Scribbles With his finger on the pulse of Las Vegas, Robin Leach is the go-to source for everything celebrity and entertainment related. For all the latest happenings and full stories, visit his blog at LasVegasSun.com.

Andrea Bocelli recently toured the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in support of the program. Twelve couples and yours truly shelled out $2,000 apiece to have our photograph taken with Andrea as part of the fundraising event for Keep Memory Alive, which funds the downtown center. In honor of their commitment to raise funds and awareness for KMA, a life-size, three-dimensional marble portrait statue of the superstar was unveiled.

WhoWhatWhere It was a rare Las Vegas visit for movie superstar Johnny Depp, his wife, Amber Heard, and their two inseparable dogs. The duo flew in to catch Reba and Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas and went backstage post-concert to greet the top-selling country artists. The couple stayed at the

13,000-square-foot Nobu Villa in Nobu at Caesars Palace.

Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted at Omnia Nightclub inside Caesars Palace. The Wolf of Wall Street star was with friend and Entourage actor Kevin Connolly. UFC Hall of Fame inductee Forrest Griffin dined at Crush at MGM Grand. DJ and

producer Steve Aoki took in a performance of Absinthe at Caesars Palace, meeting with the Gazillionaire and Joy Jenkins after the show. Tony and Margaret McGregor, parents of UFC champion Conor McGregor, dined at Crush at MGM Grand before cheering on their son in his victory against Jose Aldo.

Mandalay Bay star chef Rick Moonen will compete in the second episode of Recipe for Deception, a new cooking competition show on Bravo, as a guest star. The show, set to premiere Jan. 21, is as much about a chef’s ability to lie, distort, cheat and misinform as it about culinary skills. Competing chefs ask each other three “yes or no” questions to determine what their dish’s mystery component is, and their opponent answers strategically with two truthful answers and one lie.

Frank Marino, Las Vegas’s longest-running headliner, is having his Las Vegas Walk Of Fame star transplanted in front of the Paris Hotel on Jan. 7. Since the closing of the Riviera this past May, the star needed to find a new home within the Caesar’s Entertainment family of properties.

Marino, who stars in and produces Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq, is the only person with two stars on the Strip—one in front of The Linq and now the soon-to-be transplanted one.

Iconic Las Vegas production show Jubilee closing after 34-year run Jubilee, the longest-running show on the Las Vegas Strip, is closing on Feb. 11. The iconic and lavish show, which cost $10 million to stage, is coming to an end, but there’s hope that a new showgirl spectacular at its Bally’s home could arise from the ashes. Caesars Entertainment executives, I’ve learned, are exploring a new show. “Bally’s Las Vegas is proud that millions of guests from around the world have experienced this thrilling Las Vegas classic for more than 34 years. We are looking forward to revealing exciting new developments in our entertainment lineup at Bally’s in the coming months,” said Bally’s Las Vegas President David

Hoenemeyer in an official statement. Jubilee will continue six nights a week (dark Fridays) through Feb. 11 along with the hourlong private tours for the behind-the-scenes secrets of its glitz and glamour that have been a major attraction the last eight years. The cast of nearly 70 dancers, singers and specialty acts is matched by the almost 70 stagehands it takes to operate the stage, sets, lights, elevators and sound equipment. Twenty-six people work in the wardrobe department to keep those outrageous and expensive costumes in shape. Go see Jubilee before it’s gone. Don’t let showbiz history pass you by.
