Created and Presented by CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT

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 It can wait

It’s a brand new year, which means lots of resolutions— everything from drinking and smoking less to eating healthier and spending more time with our families (or, for some of us, spending less time). It’s human nature. The reason we make seemingly unattainable promises to ourselves is the same reason Vegas locals drive to the Nevada/California state line in Primm, Nev., to stand in endless lines to buy lotto tickets: Hope springs eternal. But if you’re reading this magazine, that means you’re ready to explore all that Las Vegas has to offer, so you might have a tough time sticking to some of those resolutions. Weight loss? Good luck trying to resist the draw of our amazing buffets. Going to the gym? Hey, you’re here to see the sights, not walk in place on a treadmill (but there are plenty of places if you must). Getting on a budget? Maybe you’re better off delaying that one until you get back home. Luckily, we’ve got you covered for every possible way to get the most out of Las Vegas: great shows like Raiding the Rock Vault and Elton John’s Million Dollar Piano; comedy acts for everyone from preteens to adults; specialty buffets and fantastic restaurants like Tender at Luxor; even a custom tour of the locales of some of your favorite Las Vegas-based movies. Resolutions are made with one goal in mind: We want to make our lives better. But Las Vegas is a reminder that life is also to be enjoyed, and if you’ve already made the commitment to come here, it’s almost a mandate you do just that.

scene

Hal Sparks

Winning hearts, minds and fans Hal Sparks spent 10 years on stand-up stages before getting a break hosting Talk Soup, then taking a lead role in Showtime’s 2000-2005 series Queer as Folk. The actor and comedian currently stars as an inventor in hit Disney XD family series Lab Rats when he isn’t on radio or prolifically podcasting, but the stand-up stages are never far away and Sparks has an inexhaustible well of funny observations to draw from. He spoke to Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen recently. How do you divide your time now? Is most of your focus on stand-up, the podcasts or Lab Rats? Definitely Lab Rats cuts into the stand-up time. Podcasting never has to be a negative overlap. I do a live radio show (in Chicago) every Saturday from 9 to 11 Pacific, so I have to actually be on the air during that time. Podcasts you can do whenever. It’s an industry unto itself. You don’t have to be a stand-up to have a successful one, and just because you have a successful one it won’t necessarily make you a better comic. But they do feed each other fairly well. Your partner on Superior Podcast (Frank Prather) is a casting director. How did you get together? He and I just had those conversations when we got together and a lot of them, when there were people standing nearby, they tended to gather and listen and say, “Good point.” And that is the reason I think you should record anything and share it. That’s the primary reason. You’re posting a series on your YouTube channel that looks back at Queer as Folk. I was getting so many questions, the same questions so much, on social media, I was tired of tweeting it.

24 1.17.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

So you did that on your own because you were being asked the same questions so much? The answers were too long. I have to make five tweets to give somebody a satisfactory answer, and if I get asked again and again, it becomes an impossible use of (my) time. It’s equity. I want to answer this question fully because I want everybody to know the answer. The next time someone asked me the reunion question I was like, “Holy God, look through my string. I’ve literally said yes a hundred million times.” So now, I can just tweet the link. The political climate has changed a lot in the past few years. How has that affected your unabashedly progressive comedy? Comedy is meant to aid people into accepting a thought, not force them into it. That’s why it’s comedy and not just standing on a street corner and yelling through a bullhorn. It’s comedy for a reason. My stand-up is hardly political at all. It’s socio-political. I deal with the politics of being human, and what level of interaction we have as human beings through that which is different from us. Politics tends to codify in legislation and law, and that’s where you get into the fighting aspect of it. But as far as winning hearts and minds, that’s the realm of comedy.


SCENE

42 million Number of visitors to Las Vegas in 2015, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The number breaks last year’s record of 41.1 million.

Las Vegas rockers The Killers named their second album, Sam’s Town, after a Las Vegas hotel and their fourth album, Battle Born, after the phrase that appears on the Nevada state flag.

Heating Up

Las Vegas feels the winter chill as much as any other city, but Nove Italiano at Palms is ready to warm you up with its seasonally inspired menu. Enjoy appetizers like crispy polenta with Madeira mushrooms and marinara sauce. Second courses include butternut squash soup with goat cheese, rosemary and extra virgin olive oil or roasted squash with assorted greens and pistachios. And main courses run the gamut from braised short rib with risotto, Parmesan, saffron and crispy onions to lamb chops with bell peppers, plum tomatoes and infused olives. The menu is available until Feb. 29. For more information, call 702.942.6800.

Tallying Up the Talent

Sharing the stage every Tuesday night with the bevy of beauties in Fantasy at Luxor is multitalented performer Seth Grabel. New to the cast of the adults-only topless revue, Grabel will entertain audiences between the ladies’ dance numbers with a unique combination of acrobatics, illusions and comedy. Grabel was a past finalist on America’s Got Talent and has been praised for his charm and audience interaction in addition to his amazing talents. Grabel joins the cast’s longtime resident comic relief, Sean E. Cooper, who performs six nights a week. For tickets, call 702.262.4400.

Penn & Teller celebrated the 15th anniversary of their show at the Rio this month. The famous magic duo have performed together for 40 years. Las Vegas’ “mega-resorts” (hotels with thousands of rooms) got their start with Steve Wynn’s 3,044room resort, The Mirage, in 1989. What’s in a name? Let’s put it this way: When Mandalay Bay was being built, its working title was “Project Paradise.” Fortunately the name was changed when it opened in 1999.

Bye Bye, Resolutions

Hey, two weeks was pretty good Jan. 17 is National Ditch Your New Year’s Resolution Day, and you’re in the perfect city to celebrate. Las Vegas indulgences will help you break those promises in the most enjoyable way possible. Diet? Forget it. Check out these places to really push up the pounds—but the todie-for tastes are worth every calorie. N9NE Steakhouse offers an old camping favorite but with grown-up appeal, the Campfire S’Mores. Brought to your table with actual fire for roasting, the housemade pumpkin spice-, chocolate- and orange-flavored marshmallows come with white and dark chocolate ganache coating the graham crackers and a scoop of gelato to finish it off. If cake is more your downfall, live it up with the 24-layer chocolate cake at Strip House at Planet Hollywood Resort. It alternates layers of chocolate and filling, with a layer of semisweet French chocolate ganache as frosting. For burger lovers, visit downtown’s Heart Attack Grill, where you can order either a Single Bypass Burger all the way up to the eight-patty Octuple Bypass Burger with 40 bacon slices added. If you haven’t shed too many pounds yet, note that people 350 pounds or heavier eat for free! To bring spirit(s) back into your life, the cocktails at the following spots are not to be missed—every choice on their menu deserves attention for the creativity and memorable tastes: Bound at The Cromwell, Petrossian Bar at Bellagio, Lobby Bar at Caesars Palace and Laguna Champagne Bar at The Palazzo. –Kiko Miyasato

SPOTLIGHT

Take It to the Limit Watching a performer test his strength is suspenseful and beautiful. Absinthe, 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. The Green Fairy, played by singer Melody Sweets, tap dancers Sean and John Scott and bubble girl Charlie Starling all shine, but the feats of strength rivet your attention. Acrobat Ruslan Khusinov stacks chair on chair, balancing precariously until he adds a final eighth chair and looks down upon the audience from a handstand at the top.

Back in Time If you’ve watched TV recently, you’ve probably seen the ubiquitous Geico commercial featuring the Swedish rock band Europe performing its massive 1986 hit “The Final Countdown.” Even 30 years after the song was first released, that synthesizer riff is instantly recognizable. Hearing just a few seconds of it in the Geico commercial will put the incredibly catchy song in your head for the rest of the day. Although “The Final Countdown” has become an indelible pop-culture touchstone, Europe is about more than that one song. As part of the 1980s glammetal explosion, the band’s hits also included “Carrie” and “Rock the Night,” and they’ve been featured on numerous compilations. Although the band broke up in the ’90s, the lineup that recorded “The Final Countdown” has been back together since 2003, and has released five albums. While they continue to produce new music (including recent album War of Kings), their legacy was cemented with those first few notes of “The Final Countdown.” –Josh Bell

Diverse DJ A Meaty Experience Gordon Ramsay is one of the most recognized culinary figures in the world, never failing to live up to expectations as a fierce kitchen commander. Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris was the second steakhouse in Las Vegas to make use of legendary New York butcher Pat LaFrieda’s beef, dry aged for at least 28 days. The highlight cut is the royal long-bone chop for two. One of the more unique steaks on the menu is the American Kobe rib cap, an

Gordon Ramsay Steak has also built a reputation for amazing desserts, and the unmissable choice is the sticky toffee pudding with brown butter ice cream and brown sugar toffee. –Brock Radke Paris, 4:30-10:30 p.m. daily, lounge 4:30-10:30 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 4:30 p.m.-midnight Fri.-Sat, bar food menu available. 702.946.4663

Having remixed songs by artists such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Cher, DJ Ikon has become a prime figure in the music industry. If that’s not enough, he secures residencies at some of the top clubs around the country. According to nightout.com, his musical stylings can best be described as an “eclectic mix of funky electro breakbeat with elements of old-school Miami bass and freestyle infused with today’s newschool electro house basslines.” This week, he’s behind the booth at Foxtail nightclub to kick off AVN week with a sexy bang. –Chanelle Hayes SLS Las Vegas, opens at 10:30 p.m. Jan. 21, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.761.7619

Swing Into the Imagination What’s life without a little mystery, right? So while you’re in Las Vegas, what’s your stay without a little Mystère? Debuting in 1993 as Cirque du Soleil’s initial foray onto the Strip, Mystère is an acrobatic buffet served up on a revolving stage inside a custom-built theater. Set to a surreal story with exotic, metaphorical characters in elaborate, otherworldly costumes—you’ll meet the Red Bird, the Black Widow, Birds of Prey and La Belle, among other fanciful creatures—Mystère features distinctive acts. One aerialist performs within a giant metal cube both on the ground and while airborne. Another flips, spins and twists on a vertical strip of fabric that appears to stretch into infinity while suspended above the stage. Bungee jumpers bounce and swing as they scrape the ceiling, gymnasts turn a trampoline into an artistic canvas, and Japanese taiko

drummers pound out thunderous, infectious beats and rhythms. Not all mysteries should be solved. Some should simply be experienced. –Steve Bornfeld

Treasure Island, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Sat.-Wed., $69-$119 plus tax and fee. 702.894.7722

Never-Ending Flavors For more than 30 years, The Steak House at Circus Circus has been a perennial favorite. Las Vegas visitors make it a regular stop during their Sin City adventures, an institution beloved for its old Vegas style. Since it served its first meal, The Steak House has maintained its exhibition kitchen, the charcoal-broiling headquarters where the steak and seafood get the finishing touches. A mighty bone-in ribeye and a plate-size porterhouse are the most popular options, but a velvety petite filet mignon is yours for the taking

as well. From the ocean, there’s grilled garlic shrimp, lobster tails, king crab legs, salmon or halibut. Each of those tantalizing steaks or seafood dishes comes with soup or salad, fresh baked bread, vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes, wild rice or a big baked potato with all the classic toppings. –Brock Radke Circus, Circus, 4-10 p.m. Sun.-Fri., 4-11 p.m. Sat., lounge half-priced drink specials 4-6 p.m. Sun.-Fri. (excluding holidays). 702.794.3767

Stuffed Churros Diablo’s Cantina at the Monte Carlo has great Mexican food, and it doesn’t skimp on the desserts either. Odds are you’ve tried plenty of churros before, but trust us—you’ve never tried ones like these. They’re the classic fragrant, deep-fried, cinnamon sugar wonders, to be sure, but they’re also filled with apples and caramel, putting them over the top. Chocolate and caramel dipping sauces are scarcely needed, but they only add to the flavorful dessert experience.

She’s the One We Want Singer takes fans on a musical journey Let’s hear memories, memories, I wanna hear memories—let’s get into memories. … Rather than get physical, opt for Summer Nights as a classy salute to the career of Olivia NewtonJohn in which the Aussie songbird takes us on a joyride through her hits-laden career. Aside from video screens flashing highlights of her life, plus light production touches, Newton-John opts for simplicity over spectacle—a lady, a microphone, a band and a modest complement of backup dancers, underscored by the star’s easygoing elegance and charm. And oh, the melodic memories, rendered in full and medley form, delivered in her blend of ethereal sweetness and emotional intimacy: There’s the country catalog (“If You Love Me Let

Me Know”); the Xanadu collection (“Magic”); soft-pop pleasers (“I Honestly Love You”); and a teasing ballad opening morphing into the raucous “Physical,” her naughty nod to carnality. Timeless classics provide refreshing pauses, including “Over the Rainbow,” a smoky-voiced interpretation of “Cry Me a River” and an achingly fragile “Send In the Clowns.” Highlighting the night is the Grease segment, brimming with movie clips and featuring live renditions of “You’re the One That I Want,” “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “We Go Together” and an audience sing-a-long to “Summer Nights,” aided by on-screen lyrics. Infusing it all with radiant warmth, the star proves why we’re still hopelessly devoted. –Steve Bornfeld

French Twist Those pop-’em-if-you-got-’em escargots at Michael Mina’s Bardot Brasserie at Aria are a welcome alternative to the butter-soaked versions you find swimming six at a time in cast-iron dishes, and the creamy foie gras that lingers under a thin layer of ruby port gelée is supremely rich, heavenly and devilish all at once. Decadent Maine lobster thermidor, herb-crusted Alaskan cod and a double rack of lamb all call out for sharing, and there’s nothing wrong with taking a pair of forks to desserts like the stately lemon tart or overstuffed chocolate macaron. There are a number of popular French brunches in town, and Bardot is off on the right foot by offering it on both Saturdays and Sundays, with many of the dinner items—including the mouthwatering steak burger, back to tempt all over again—available alongside French toast, smoked salmon, Nutella sticky buns and croissant Benedicts. Better yet, there’s bottomless rosé for a very Stripreasonable $20. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Couples Retreat Sparks and Sparkle Once upon a philosophical time, Henry David Thoreau noted: “Our life is frittered away by detail.” Thoreau’s solution: “Simplify, simplify.” Fortunately for us, Thoreau stuck to the life of the mind, rather than try his as the producer of a Las Vegas production show—say, the bountiful Jubilee at Bally’s. It shimmers with showgirls (and boys), rainbow-hued headdresses and feather boas. Long iconic moments are the recreation of the Titanic’s sinking and the epic

Defending the Caveman isn’t so much entertainment as it is hilarious couples therapy. Kevin Burke provides an evening of sharp observations, spelling out in convincing fashion that the reason men and women have so many disagreements is because they are just ... well, different. One thing is sure: If you’re thinking about getting married, you need to see Defending the Caveman first. It will eliminate so many unnecessary arguments you will be having later in married life—or at least give you a heads-up that they’re coming. –Ken Miller The D, 8:40 p.m. daily, $34.95-$59.95 plus tax and fee. 702.388.2111

Swimming in Sleight of Hand On this stage, magic is King—and he’s even his own court jester. When you take in the whimsical afternoon show of comedy magician Mac King, you initially might not know what to make of the cherubic man wearing the loud, oversized plaid suit. You’ll soon learn that his strongest suit is quirky entertainment, owing to an inventive repertoire of logic-defying illusions, silly sight gags and a quicksilver wit. Beyond his patented goldfish tricks—he’ll make a live little squirmer appear over someone’s head or even pull one out of his mouth— the core of King’s show is eliciting wonderment over stunts with rope, worms and playing cards, highlighted by his “cloak of invisibility” routine. Friendliness and warmth are the hallmarks of this genial performer, who trades not only on his slick talents but on making the audience feel welcomed—so even when some excited volunteers don’t quite follow instructions, the

host turns it around to poke fun of himself. Oh, and definitely bring the kids—this is one of the family-friendliest shows on the Las Vegas Strip. –Steve Bornfeld

Channeling Pop Music’s King In Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE, four “misfits” personify aspects of Michael Jackson’s character quite well. “Beat It” rocks the house through the theater’s surround sound system as dancers in white fedoras re-create iconic Jackson moves. The misfits (and the audience) are pulled into “The Vortex” as time goes haywire and bungee acrobats bounce with the controlled chaos. This inner universe becomes emotionally affecting during “Stranger in Moscow,” with Jackson’s chill-inducing “how does it feel” hook

That mood continues with a medley of “I’ll Be There,” “Human Nature” and “Never Can Say Goodbye.” With other acts including gravity-defying acrobatics on slacklines and trampolines, fantastical combinations of choreography and special effects and an inspirational sequence by onelegged dancer Jean Sok of France (to “Can You Feel It”), the audience can’t help but be thrilled by this Vegas experience. –Matt Kelemen Mandalay Bay, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Fri.-Tues., $69$180 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000

Voicing His Talent

Personal Notes Two-time Tony award winner Christine Ebersole describes Big Noise From Winnetka, the show she’s performing at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts this week, as “stories and songs about my personal journey in life.” During a phone interview with Las Vegas Magazine, Ebersole explained, “I grew up in Winnetka (Ill.) and the music I chose coincides with different times in my life that have meaning to me.” She describes the show as having a funny element, and said she wrote the patter for the 70-minute concert along with selecting all the music. And the music, she said, is a departure from what she normally sings.

“I love this show,” she said, adding it is a great evening of entertainment. If Ebersole looks familiar it may be because she has appeared in numerous TV shows including Saturday Night Live, Royal Pains, Sullivan and Son and American Horror Story. Her movie credits include The Wolf of Wall Street, Tootsie and Confessions of a Shopaholic. She’s also won Tonys for the musicals 42nd Street and Grey Gardens on Broadway and has performed with symphonies in numerous U.S. cities. The multitalented Ebersole has also released albums, including In Your Dreams and Sunday in New York. –Penny Levin

Terry Fator (The Mirage, 702.792.7777) is one the most talented entertainers on the Las Vegas Strip, but his fans don’t pay big money just to see him. Sure, they want to hear Fator impeccably mimic the singing voices of legends such as Etta James and Garth Brooks, but given that he’s a ventriloquist, what they really want is to hear those voices come out of the mouths of Fator’s famous cast of puppets. And they do. –KM

Such Sights If you’re looking to take in some of the most iconic sights in Las Vegas, then booking the Strip Night Tour with Champagne Toast (795 E. Tropicana Ave., 800.634.6579) through Gray Line may be one of the smartest things you’ll do all week. The tour offers pick-up and drop-off at most hotels in an air-conditioned coach, an opportunity to take in the Fremont Street Experience’s VivaVision show and a photo stop at the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign. –Nina King

Sexiness With a Twang

Country-themed revue is a relentless good time Before the first flash of flesh, the saucy vibe is set by a recorded preshow serenade of Blake Shelton’s “Kiss My Country Ass.” Behold Nashville Meets Naughty, aka “X” Country: A Kickin’ Topless Revue. Now just wait a country minute and yeehaw … flesh! Expanding the “X” brand of sexy Vegas shows—including “X” Burlesque, “X” Rocks, “X” Comedy and “X” Burlesque University—the new countrified entry is a jam-packed, fast-moving series of sensual segments featuring a hot quintet of lithe, limber ladies performing to a soundtrack ranging from Hank Williams Jr. and Garth Brooks to Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift. Video screens framing the stage at the intimate Improv room add multimedia pizzazz.

With down-home delight (interrupted only by a comedy break from a rotating slate of stand-up funny folks), these very fit gals execute spirited choreography in thematic numbers, from the moment they materialize out of the darkness, in tight short-shorts, with backsides facing the audience. Within 90 seconds, their tops are doffed—a frequent occurrence over the next 70 minutes of thrusts, gyrations, line-dancing, twostepping and butt-slapping. One must smile during the number set to Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats”—come on, who would cheat on any of these ladies? Working us into a lather, one dancer luxuriates in an on-stage shower to Patsy Cline’s “Crazy.” Another strips down from a wedding dress to

The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two,” and three gals frolic with a bed sheet to Lady Antebellum’s “Just a Kiss.” After one dancer gets a bit suggestive with a stuffed horsey toy to Miranda Lambert’s “Little Red Wagon” and several more two-step to Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman,” segments swing from those set to Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” and Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” to a sexy salute to baseball (yes, baseball) and, of course, the always reliable leatherand-whips routine. All of which amounts to just a fraction of the “X” Country action. Yeehaw, indeed, pardner! –Steve Bornfeld Harrah’s, 10:30 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., $36.23$61.92 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.777.2782

Nocturnal Escapades

Nightclub solidifies rep as a prime party place Where do you take contemporary Vegas nightlife after more than a decade of evolution and reinvention? If you’re Hakkasan Group—which turned MGM Grand’s faded reputation as a club-andultra-lounge hot spot into that of major clubbing destination featuring internationally renowned EDM talent at its namesake venue—and you have a canvas in Caesars Palace that housed one of the most game-changing nightclubs of the 2000s with which to work with, you have to exceed expectations; you have to get it right from the get-go and by design. And Omnia does. Throughout the past year, the club has raised the bar in terms of both party atmosphere and environment surrounding celebrated DJs such as Calvin Harris, Afrojack and

Above & Beyond, making certain that both talent and guest return. Hakkasan brought in the Rockwell Group to take the lead in Omnia’s architectural aspects. At 75,000 square feet, the floor plan is double the size of Pure, the nightclub that once occupied the space. Like Pure, Omnia has indoor and outdoor environments, with a redesigned rooftop patio still providing a spectacular mid-level view of the central Strip. It has expanded the venue’s square footage on the ground level, though, taking over space formerly used for poker and tournament play in order to hold 3,500 patrons. Once inside, guests can hit the main club or have an “exclusive experience” inside Heart of Omnia. The 1,000-guest-capacity VIP room

features open-format (diverse genre) artists, and plays host to influential hip-hop icons such as Questlove, Rev. Run and DJ Jazzy Jeff. On Jan. 22, Omnia’s main room welcomes former Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso, who will share the decks with DJ Otto Knows. That night in the Heart of Omnia, catch DJ M.O.S. who’ll perform his eclectic mix of hip-hop, soul, R&B, pop and EDM. Saturday night, Jan. 23, guests can crowd the dance floor when Belgian brothers and EDM DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike perform in the main room, and in Heart of Omnia, New York DJ NVM will liven up the party. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Caesars Palace, opens at 10 p.m. Tues. & Thurs.-Sun. 702.785.6200

Tender Steak & Seafood encourages culinary exploration


Seafood tower

Luxor 5-11 p.m. daily. 702.262.4778

Cheese platter Dessert sampler

Tender, tender is the slice. And at Tender Steak & Seafood in the Luxor, that slice might be from dry-aged black Angus beef, Oregon lamb, Wyoming bison or even Rocky Mountain elk. The steakhouse is a far cry from most other traditional steakhouses; the delights here range from those exotic meats to exceptional cheeses and succulent seafood. And although the dishes can run to the exotic, Tender exudes a friendly vibe. The dining room still has that old-school steakhouse feel—you’ll still sink into plush booths—but just updated for the new century. Tender’s appetizers range from charcuterie and carpaccio to the seafood tower, with Maine lobster, white shrimp, oysters, clams and two types of seafood salads. The presentation alone very nearly overwhelms you—it’s just that pretty and, well, big, with the serving piece twisting toward the ceiling. An artisanal cheese board is the opposite, stretched along a horizontal surface, with three or five cheeses of your choice, plus two types of bread, honeycomb, honey dates and cherry fig chutney. The cheeses, along with many menu items, are sourced from Western farms and producers. Standouts include Barely Buzzed, with espresso and lavender rub, and Purple Moon cheddar, which is soaked in cabernet; both cheeses are from family cheesemakers and use vegetarian rennet. When either of these is paired with a bit of honey, the results are mouthwateringly outstanding. And although the cheese might satisfy you, that’s no reason to stop your meal. Choose from vegetarian minestrone, Maine lobster bisque, wagyu chili (Texas-style) and an exotic mushroom soup for a tasting trio. The mushroom may seriously be one of the best varieties you’ve ever had. Tender pulls its beef from a range of areas, including Kansas City, of course, but also New Zealand, Australia, Wyoming and Idaho. And you’ll find those in several cuts—filet mignon, Strip loins and porterhouse, ribeyes. Order flat iron, dry-aged, even bison. A wide range of sauces includes a hot chili sauce called Smokin’ Phantom Stinger. Four chili peppers go in this preparation, making for a flavorful condiment worthy of its name. One of the more unusual offerings here has to be the game tasting trio—Rocky Mountain elk medallions, venison osso buco and a wild boar chop are accompanied by farro, a huckleberry venison reduction and fig chutney. Those accompaniments are chosen well, helping intensify the deep flavors of the game. Seafood lovers will undoubtedly develop a favorite here, whether for the Maine sea scallops, served with duck bacon, or the Skuna Bay salmon, which comes with truffle caviar. Select from myriad desserts to end your meal—a “doughnut fritter” apple short cake, chocolate butterscotch brownies, sugar-free lemon sorbet and salted caramel chip ice cream. And if you can’t choose, try a dessert sampler—maybe with Tahitian vanilla bean crème brûlée, chocolate soufflé cake, peanut butter pie and cheesecake? You choose. For a unusual finish to the sweets, add a specialty sweetener drizzled on top—Hawaiian or Mohave Desert honey, balsamic, blue agave nectar and bourbon-barrel aged maple syrup. Now, that’s a perfect ending.

Ryan Perras

Building on an already popular brand Ryan Perras is managing one of the city’s hidden gems. Tucked away off the casino floor of Palace Station (just a few minutes off the Strip), you’ll discover Little Tony’s. The Italian restaurant comes from world pizza champion and restaurateur Tony Gemignani and his Pizza Rock brand, a popular locals favorite. Perras worked for the company when they opened their first Vegas restaurant downtown. “I fell in love with the brand, the company,” said restaurant manager Perras. “The product is amazing.” Now Perras helps head up the Little Tony’s outpost, where the same delicious pizza is served, but the gem here is the huge selection of whisky and bourbon. “When we opened the place up, we wanted to have an extensive collection,” Perras explained. “Some of the whiskies you’re not going to see anywhere else in town.” And Perras should know. A longtime

46 1.17.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Las Vegas resident (born in El Paso, but moved here from Alaska) Perras has worked in the food and beverage industry for more than a decade. When Little Tony’s opened, he said, he wanted to make the place even more special by offering an extensive cocktail program. Guests can make their own Old-Fashioned, get cocktails and beer on draft and try Prohibition era-style and specialty cocktails. But the focus is on whisky and bourbon, Perras said. “We have four different styles of Pappy Van Winkle, Japanese whiskies, different scotches from different regions, different bourbons from different areas and distillers, seven styles of scotch—some are smokier, heavier, fiery, mellow, some taste of vanilla,” Perras said. “All of the things you could possibly think of, we tried to plug in, so that we could have something for everyone.” –Kiko Miyasato

For a taste of Little Tony’s signature cocktails try a favorite, The Saint. The crisp-tasting libation mixes Hendrick’s gin, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, fresh-squeezed lime juice, Angostura bitters, fresh mint leaves that have been double strained, and splash of Crabbie’s ginger beer and Fernet-Branca. If you’ve come for the whiskey or bourbon, be prepared to peruse a big menu, and feel free to ask for guidance. Some labels from the well-rounded list include: Eagle Rare 17year, Knob Creek Single Barrel, Lock Stock & Barrel Rye. Suntory Hakushu Single Malt 18-year and Redbreast. –KM

Raiding the Rock Vault stars Hugh McDonald, Howard Leese and Doug Aldrich

Tuning into the latest incarnation of Raiding the Rock Vault The question of whether the cast of Raiding the Rock Vault constitutes a classic-rock supergroup or a high-caliber cover band becomes irrelevant once guitarists Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio) and Howard Leese (Heart, Bad Company) lay into the power chords from The Who’s “My Generation” at the onset of Raiding the Rock Vault’s first show of 2016. The New Year’s Day audience inside the Tropicana Theater needs no prompting from singer Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot) to respond to the energy onstage with equal enthusiasm. It’s apparent there’s something special going on. “I’d say probably for the first time in a long, long time, everybody’s in the right place in the show,” says Raiding the Rock Vault impresario “Sir” Harry Cowell. “We had a few hiccups along the line. That’s normal. But at the moment it’s a fantastic feeling. There’s a lot of love in the room at the moment.” Although a skit-enhanced narrative thread and a mostly chronological set list create the show’s historical framework, the camaraderie and chemistry exuded by the musicians elevate Raiding the Rock Vault from tribute show to expertly executed, heartfelt homage. A lot of subtle touches enhance the show. Once Shortino croons through “Light My Fire,” Aldrich straps on a left-handed white Stratocaster—flipped over and restrung so he can play right-handed—in recognition of southpaw guitarist Jimi Hen-

Ten shows that give you a chuckle no matter what your age Everyone deserves a good laugh—the kid who’s a fan of magic, the teenager who likes his prop comedy and the adult who prefers racy jokes can all find the perfect show to tickle their funny bone. Here, a look at 10 shows in Las Vegas that deliver the guffaws.

Terry Fator The $1 million winner of season two of America’s Got Talent marries his singing skills with ventriloquism and impersonations. Terry Fator does it all with a little help from his puppet friends, namely Winston the Impersonating Turtle, his trustiest sidekick. Of course, comedy, songs from Cher to Elvis and more are all part of his allages show. (The Mirage, 702.792.7777) The Mac King Comedy Magic Show Kids of all ages won’t be able to figure out how Southern charmer Mac King turns coins into goldfish or cuts ropes into pieces and then puts them back together in one long piece. King, who always wears an oversized plaid suit, blends comedic timing with sleight of hand in perhaps the most endearing afternoon show on the Strip. (Harrah’s, 702.777.2782) Laughternoon starring Adam London Mac King protégé Adam London spent six years opening for the magician before heading off on his own with afternoon sleight-of-hand magic that gets the audience laughing. Note, London has a love of ducks, namely rubber ducks, in this quacktacular show meant for the entire family. (The D, 702.388.2111)

There might be a game of Operation former Vice President Dick Cheney played. Pulled out in rapid form, every crazy gadget leads to laughs. (Luxor, 702.262.4400) Gordie Brown This Canadian does more than just impersonate celebrities. He sings their biggest hits and makes up some of his own lyrics in this entertaining show. Big names such as Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Tina Turner and Michael Jackson all make an appearance with their own set of rephrased tunes. (Golden Nugget, 866.946.5336)

Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club The star may not always perform at this comedy club at MGM Grand, but he does pull in star comedians and newcomers alike and sometimes makes a surprise appearance at the shows. Mark this down, though: Brad Garrett officially does take the stage this week. (MGM Grand, Jan. 17-23, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster) Andrew Dice Clay Hickory dickory dock … every fan of the Diceman knows exactly where that rowdy rendition of the rhyme goes. Clay tends to pick on his audience, especially bald men, and takes shots as just about everything, women and kids included. Just hold on for the end of the show when he zips through his re-imaginations of children’s tales. (Tropicana, Jan. 21-23, 800.829.9034)

Anthony Cools Cools offers anything but a sleepy hypnosis show. Guests volunteer to get up onstage and let go of their inhibitions as they become the stars of this show that Cools calls “good, clean, dirty fun.” You just never know how hypnotized audience members will react to Cools’ naughty suggestions.

And, yes, Piff wears a full dragon costume during the entire performance that includes sleight of hand—and cannons. (Flamingo, 702.733.3333)

Eddie Griffin Comedian Eddie Griffin unleashes his R-rated “Comedy Without a Condom” resident show to the Rio. The star of films such as Norbit, Armageddon, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and Scary Movie 3 takes no prisoners with his views on politics, religion and race, all with a lot of naughty for good measure.

What makes this buffet so unique are the high-class options available for an upcharge: Sasanian Imperial caviar with a bottle of Dom Perignon; whole fish, such as New Zealand Tai snapper or Norwegian mackerel; and whole poached lobster with a glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne. There’s something about gospel music and Southern

cuisine that’s soothing to the soul. At House of Blues at Mandalay Bay (702.632.7607), Kirk Franklin’s highly acclaimed Gospel Brunch, which is not only popular in Las Vegas but also in Chicago, Orlando and New Orleans, serves up Creole catfish, chicken jambalaya, the comfort-food classic macaroni and cheese, and even fried chicken and waffles every Sunday. Carving stations dish out oven-roasted turkey breast and smoked beef brisket while breakfast potatoes, apple-

The Buffet at Bellagio

Carnival World & Seafood Buffet

Specialty buffets in Las Vegas tailor offerings of regional flavors By Chanelle Hayes

wood-smoked bacon, biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs satisfy those craving traditional brunch items. Get a tour of France at the Le Village Buffet at Paris (702.946.7000). Go for the hearty penne alla puttanesca and other pasta dishes from the Provence region. If you’re a meat eater, hit up the Burgundy region for rotisserie chicken with a side of Yukon gold mashed potatoes. Save room for decadent made-toorder crepes from the Brittany

region. Le Village Buffet is unlike any other buffet in Las Vegas, not only because of its specialty cuisine, but also because it’s the only buffet in town where you can make a reservation. While you’re in Las Vegas, taste the islands at Seasons Buffet at Silverton (702.263.7777). Everyone knows that pork is a huge part of the Hawaiian culture. At Seasons, there’s no shortage of that as the buffet serves up Polynesian selections every

Saturday night. Have a luau with ahi poke, tako poke, Kalua pork and cabbage, whole suckling pig with crispy skin, pork lau lau wrapped in taro leaf and lomi lomi salmon. For flavors of the sea, Studio B Buffet at M Resort (702.797.1000) is the way to go. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, fuel up on items such as tempura shrimp, oysters, fried calamari, lobster bisque and Alaskan Snow crab legs, in addition to steamed clams and mussels, an assort-

ment of sushi, miso glazed salmon and crawfish boil. Another seafood option is the Carnival World & Seafood Buffet at Rio (702.777.7757). Although they were once separate entities (Carnival World Buffet and Village Seafood Buffet), the two merged into one dining experience while still keeping seafood lovers in mind. There’s more than 70 mouthwatering offerings to choose from, including oysters, crab legs and shrimp in addition to traditional buffet items. LasVegasMagazine.com 1.17.16

Hello, Neon-Lit Road The legendary Elton John returns to energize the Strip

58 1.17.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Caesars Palace 7:30 p.m. Jan. 19-20, 22-23 & 26-27, starting at $55 plus tax and fee. 888.929.7849

Spotted along that yellow brick road he just can’t say goodbye to, its famous traveler is heading for the Vegas off-ramp again. And he’s got that kooky-crazy keyboard on steroids with him. According him royal respect, we can report that Sir Elton John is returning in The Million Dollar Piano, performing his bulging repertoire of classic hits in his anything-but-understated style. Proof of the latter? Witness the production’s titular instrument—a marvel of musical and technological wizardry. Nicknamed “Blossom,” John’s 3,200-pound Yamaha piano— which took nearly four years to construct—is decked out with 68 LED screens stretched along its length, flashing images that complement the larger digital video show behind the legend. Why, it even features a fish-filled aquarium. (If only it could cook dinner and fix margaritas, you could marry it.) And though we’re fairly sure he’s kidding, John’s been heard to joke that it also includes a washer and dryer, “just in case something accidental happens at my age.” Oh come now, Elton, you’re only 68, a relative pup. (Then again, he’s been known to quip about his keyboard companion: “I’ll be having sex with it later.” Now that’s our Elton.) Given John’s reputation for visual flashiness—to say the very least—the overhead projections overwhelm your eyeballs, including lush, warm sunsets, twirling candelabras, carnival scenes and images of John performing over the years in outfits that have created their own outrageous legacy, perhaps rivaled only by Liberace. (Divulging his sartorial secret—ol’ EJ purchases his

wardrobe in Oz and has it handsewn in Wonderland and tailored in The Twilight Zone. OK, just joshin’.) Don’t worry, though—the man and his music are still the true stars in this production that evolved from its successor show at Caesars Palace, The Red Piano, and allows the star to draw support from a stellar band (including a pair of cellists) and backup singers. You’ll get John in full from his five-decade career: “Rocket Man,” “Tiny Dancer,” “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues,” “Circle of Life,” “Bennie and the Jets,” “Crocodile Rock,” “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” “Your Song,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and “I’m Still Standing,” among others. While those selections will satisfy even casual fans, the hard-core aficionados have their dedication rewarded with a number of deeper album cuts as well. At any given performance, the faithful might be in for such treats as “Levon,” “Hey Ahab,” “Blue Eyes,” “Indian Sunset” and “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters.” As a keepsake, you can always grab a DVD/Blu-ray of The Million Dollar Piano, which was recorded in front of a sellout crowd at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in February 2012 and played in movie theaters in 2014. (As a bonus, it includes additional songs from John’s tour in Kiev, plus a behindthe-scenes featurette.) Still, a singular musical giant behind a carnival-style, 3,200-pound piano deserves—nay, demands—to be experienced in person. So welcome the you-know-what back. He’ll be stone-cold sober, as a matter of fact. (Yes, he’ll sing that one, too.

LAS VEGAS is far more than just a gaming destination. It’s also the setting for many a motion picture, especially in just the last few decades. Sure, Ocean’s 11 in 1960 immortalized the city for many, but filmmakers didn’t really discover the area’s unique charms until much later, creating some of moviedom’s more memorable cinematic moments. So, while you’re enjoying yourself in Las Vegas, set your camera to record and head to these locations to do some serious geeking out.

THE HANGOVER (2009) Stupid humor doesn’t get much more profound than when delivered by Alan (Zach Galifianakis) in the lobby of Caesars Palace: “This isn’t the real Caesar’s Palace, is it? Did Caesar live here?” Feel free to check out the lobby, but please … don’t act like Alan while you’re here. Thanks.

60 1.17.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

KNOCKED UP (2007) Millions of moviegoers got their introduction to Cirque du Soleil from this movie, where Ben and Pete (Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd) get high and see Mystère at Treasure Island. As far as your Las Vegas behavior goes, see The Hangover, but Las Vegas’ first Cirque show is a must-see.

SHOWGIRLS (1995) It’s so bad it achieved cult status. If you want to pretend you’re Nomi (Elizabeth Berkley) looking for Versace (or, as she famously pronounced it, “Ver-sase”), head to The Forum Shops at Caesars. The space has changed some since she walked the aisles, but Versace is, indeed, still there.

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971) Sean Connery’s return to the role of James Bond was also a travelogue for Sin City, featuring a number of famous locales. If you only have time to hit one, we suggest Circus Circus, which was just a few years old when this movie came out.

Fountains of Bellagio by blvdone/shutterstock.com, Mystère photo by Tomasz Rossa


OCEAN’S ELEVEN (2001) It’s just a perfect movie moment: The members of the gang, gathering together at the Fountains of Bellagio after pulling off the perfect heist, acknowledging one another before going their separate ways, all to “Claire de Lune.” We can’t guarantee that song will be playing when you visit, but will it make the moment any less glorious? We doubt it.

DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY (2004) In this cult classic, who didn’t feel bad for Steve the Pirate (Alan Tudyk) when he got pelted with a milkshake as he walked the Fremont Street Experience? We’d like to promise that nothing like that will happen to you, but this is Vegas …

THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE (2013) Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi went all Siegfried & Roy in this over-the-top comedy following the title character’s rise and fall (and rise!). The film took full advantage of Bally’s and other Strip locales, but please: Don’t try the glass cage stunt.

Fremont Street Experience photo by Marshall Bradford

VEGAS VACATION (1997) It starts innocently enough with a tour of Hoover Dam, but through a series of mishaps, Chevy Chase’s lovable doofus Clark Griswold ends up hanging off the edge. If you do take the dam tour, learn from Clark’s example: Stay with the group. Don’t be a dam idiot.

HONEYMOON IN VEGAS (1992) Most remember this film for the flying Elvi that save the day, but we doubt you’ll see many of those while you’re here. Instead, soak in the atmosphere at Bally’s, where Jack Singer (Nicolas Cage) got taken in a rigged poker game and lost … well, his fiancée (temporarily).

The Songs Never Stop Thanks to a fateful bachelor party in 1991, Warren G (Brooklyn Bowl at The Linq, 702.862.2695) went from Dr. Dre’s hopeful stepbrother to an up-and-coming hip-hop star with his production work on the seminal 1993 Dre album The Chronic. After hearing a demo by Warren and his collaborators Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg (you may have heard of them) at that party, Dre recruited the three to help

him craft what would become one of the most important albums in the history of hip-hop. The next year, Warren released his own debut album, Regulate … G Funk Era, which featured hit singles “This D.J.” and the Nate Doggfeaturing “Regulate,” a song that went on to become nearly as iconic as The Chronic. More than 20 years later, Warren has recently released the EP Regulate … G Funk Era

While Dre spends time as a business executive, his stepbrother is still busy making music (he plays Jan. 17 in Las Vegas), repping his hometown and displaying the same creativity that got him noticed in the first place. –Josh Bell

In a Pizza Pie Frenzy At one end of a sit-down counter at Tony Gemignani’s Pizza Rock (Green Valley Ranch, 702.617.7075), you’ll find what might be best described as a disco oven. A little like Liberace’s piano, the 900-degree wood-fired oven is covered in mirrored tiles. From this flame-filled chamber issues forth a tasty array of pies, such as the margherita. Gemignani’s version of the classic, with hand-mixed dough proofed in special wooden boxes (only 73 pies are made daily), was a World Pizza Cup winner. Sit at the counter and you watch as your pie is assembled with fior di latte mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes, and slid into the oven. A minute or two later, your pie is transferred closer to the flame to add a slight char. Other pizzas made in the oven include a marinara, with no cheese at all, and the California-style Honey Pie, with fried caramelized onions, Calabrese and serrano peppers, mozzarella and piave cheeses and Quail Hollow Farm honey. The Detroit Red Top cooks up in steel pans in a 550-degree gas brick oven; it’s thick and invites you to sink in your teeth. There are more than 35 types of pizza, but you can also get classic Italian dishes such as calzone, house-made sausage and peppers, chicken and eggplant parmigiana, and lasagna. –Nina King

Las Vegas is all about unforgettable experiences, and for a completely over-the-top memory, head to Coyote Ugly (New York–New York, 702.740.6330). It’s loud, rowdy, boozy … and a complete blast. For starters, it features some of the most gorgeous servers on the Strip, and they aren’t short on attitude. Whether it’s dancing on the stage, shouting at customers or pouring shots, these women are having fun, and it’s their mission to guarantee that you do, too. Women will have as much fun as men here, if not more, as they tend to get a lot of free shots from the bartenders. If you’re feeling adventurous, have a drink poured directly into your mouth from the bottle. With a large group of people for a special event? Even better! Create your own drink at the bar and share it with the group—the bartenders will be only too happy to assist. –Ken Miller

Thrills Under the Pink Dome El Loco is a 72-second thrill ride at Adventuredome (Circus Circus, 702.794.3939), that takes adventure seekers through G drops, insane turns and twists, even barrel rolls and gravity-defying action. Cars climb up a 90-foot ascent, the highest point of the ride, at 14 feet per second in cars of four with two people sitting in front and two in the back. Zoom down to a lateral G hairpin turn that has you on the edge of your seat, followed by another dive that creates a negative 1.5 vertical G-force. Riders go upside down through a barrel roll with a restraint keeping them in. The capper is a reverse 240-degree roll right into another drop. El Loco joins Canyon Blaster, a double-loop, double-corkscrew coaster. Other attractions include Canyon Cars bumper cars, Sand Pirates pendulum swing and Disko, with rocking, spinning motion. –Susan Stapleton

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. Pitbull is returning to Planet Hollywood Resort in March in a show aptly titled Time of Our Lives Las Vegas. The run of dates at Axis at Planet Hollywood is March 12, 16, 18-19, 23 and 25-26. The Cuban-born rapper was a hit in a seven-show run at the theater in September and October and is taking open dates from resident performances by Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Lionel Richie. All of those performers are booked as headliners at Axis in 2016.

WhoWhatWhere It was the best-kept secret of New Year’s Eve. A small handful of people were the only ones who knew that Ariana Grande would surprise 3,000 high-roller guests at Caesars Palace with a concert of her hits. I was there as the 22-year-old singer-songwriter and actress opened with “Bang, Bang”

while wearing a black, flared, side-split miniskirt and her trademark bunny ears. Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris tried to keep their New Year’s Eve PDAs quiet in a private dining room just for themselves at Nobu at Caesars Palace. Giada De Laurentiis rang in the New Year here with her daughter Jade at

her restaurant Giada in The Cromwell. The duo also watched Olivia Newton-John’s Summer Nights at the Flamingo. Dancing With the Stars pro Mark Ballas enjoyed dinner at Tao in The Venetian, while 2015 Miss Universe Pageant judge Perez Hilton dined with friends at sister venue Lavo in The Palazzo.

When you think of famous French imports to America, you might come up with fabulous food, chilled champagnes, wondrous wines and the Statue of Liberty. But soon Alex Goude, a popular French TV star (he’s known as the Ryan Seacrest of Europe with not one but seven TV shows) will showcase his new production, Twisted Vegas, on Feb. 9 at Westgate. He’s partnered with juggler Michael Goudeau, Lance Burton’s onstage sidekick for nearly two decades at the Monte Carlo. T-Mobile, AEG and MGM Resorts International announced the name for Las Vegas’ new sports and entertainment venue located behind New York-New York and Monte Carlo on the Strip: T-Mobile Arena. The 20,000-seat T-Mobile Arena is set to host concerts—The Killers, Wayne Newton, Dixie Chicks, Janet Jackson, George Strait and Garth Brooks have already been announced, with plans for bull riding, UFC, boxing, hockey, basketball, awards shows and more.

Magician Murray Sawchuck signs year extension at Planet Hollywood Resort The esteemed and indestructible Murray Sawchuck, who had held the 4 p.m. time slot at Sin City Theatre at Planet Hollywood Resort for a little more than a year, is moving to the 10:30 p.m. slot at that theater in February. Sawchuck is currently offstage until Jan. 20 and still performing select afternoon dates at least until the new production is together. Sawchuck’s late-late show is to be more adult in tenor, with maybe a dance number spotlighting his new assistant, April Leopardi. His sidekick, Lefty (as performed by the jumpsuit-clad Doug Leferovich), is still in the mix. The new show’s full schedule is

96 1.17.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

to be worked out, but Sawchuck announced from the stage recently that he’d just signed a new yearlong contract. Amid this, none other than Britney Spears showed up on New Year’s Eve with her two sons. Front-row seats, too. Working through this entire stretch was some kinda slalom for Team Sawchuck and requires a bit of a rewind: On New Year’s Eve afternoon, the magician was informed of a change in his show. Expressly, that it had been canceled. But he and room manager Pete Housley worked out a new plan, and Housley texted that both men were “very excited and optimistic” about the 10:30 p.m. production. –John Katsilometes
