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 Changing times

It’s hard to hear the words “Las Vegas” and not immediately imagine a showgirl in an enormous headdress. After all, that’s arguably the city’s most iconic image, one that endures even if the showgirl herself does not. Over the years, Las Vegas has seen many productions featuring the statuesque beauties close in favor of next-generation entertainment, and one of the last bastions of the genre, Jubilee, closes later this year, ending a nearly 35-year run.

If you haven’t yet seen Donn Arden’s worldfamous show, consider this your last chance.

And trust us—it’s an unforgettable experience, a grand tip of the hat to the past that feels more “Vegas” than almost anything currently on the Strip. Whether it will ever return in some other form is currently unknown, but it’s still here for now, and that’s all that should matter to you.

Of course, if something a bit more contemporary is more to your liking, Vegas certainly has plenty to offer, including the current limited engagement by Jennifer Lopez at Planet Hollywood Resort. She’s conquered every entertainment medium there is (she even has a new television show, Shades of Blue, which premiered earlier this month), and her star has never been higher.

She joins an illustrious cast of entertainers who perform here in extended runs—Mariah Carey, Rascal Flatts, Pitbull and many others.

Las Vegas is forever changing, and while that means some good things do eventually go, it also ensures that you’ll never be left wanting for quality entertainment.

Adrian Zmed

Former teen idol ready to bowl crowds over with movie night Grease 2 isn’t remembered as a critical success, but it was critical to the subsequent success of stars Michelle Pfieffer and Adrian Zmed.

Chicago-native Zmed, went on to co-star in TJ Hooker before returning to theater and eventually settling in Las Vegas. Zmed pays tribute to the 1982 film sequel that launched his still-fervently faithful fan base with a bowling night at Brooklyn Bowl on Jan. 28. He recently chatted with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen.

The Grease 2 screening at Brooklyn Bowl sounds random without knowing you’ve been a Vegas resident for a while. How long have you lived here?

I’ve been here on and off for at least a good 10 years. I met my wife about 10 or 11 years ago when we were rehearsing a show here we were doing up in Reno.

The first five years of our life (together), I was back and forth between L.A. and here, and then got married and I’m pretty much living here now.

I noticed you’ve had a lot of involvement with benefits and charities lately, too.

I think in the past four weeks I’ve done about five. I was actually quite involved with charity events way, way back in the day with a celebrity softball event against the Washington Redskins. That was way back in the ’80s.

What initiated the screening?

So many of my friends who are singers and dancers have been begging me to do a Grease 2 bowling night for my buddies in the business, after everybody’s finished with their shows. Finally I came up with a “coulda had a V-8” idea: I know (AEG talent buyer) Max McAndrew from Brooklyn Bowl very well. He had booked my son’s band when he

24 1.24.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

was over at Vinyl many times.

Someone told me he was at Brooklyn Bowl and I went to visit him, and looked at the whole bowling alley area. And I finally said, “What if we do an industry night/bowling thing, and see if we can air the movie.” One thing led to another ...

Everywhere you look, you’re going to see yourself.

I’m going to do narration, like I’ll be talking during the movie and tell the story about what really happened in that scene and what really happened behind the scenes, and we’re going to have little contests during the whole night. Now it’s become a public thing, and anyone who wants to experience the night can come.

If anybody wants to do a Rocky Horror Picture Show thing and dance along in front of the screen, everybody’s welcome.

Do you bowl very much?

Actually, I do. I still have my bowling ball from Grease 2. The character’s name is on the ball, and every time I bowl, I bowl with it.

I assume you’re bringing it.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m going to wear my T-Birds jacket, and the bowling ball. I’m hoping to call some other cast members ... and see if they can drive in for it.

SCENE

235,000

Number of biscuits baked last year by Yardbird Southern Table & Bar at The Venetian in 2015.

Elvis Presley’s first contract to perform at the International Hotel (now the Westgate) was $500,000 for four weeks in 1969. He eventually played more than 700 shows, ending his run in 1976.

Colorful Tunes

Many people who enjoy the Blue Man Group sometimes forget they are accomplished musicians, who have won several Grammy awards. This month, Blue Man Group released a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl record as part of Rhino Records’ “Start Your Ear Off Right” campaign, featuring 16 other titles from some of music’s most revered acts. The record—pressed on blue vinyl, naturally— contains the group’s first new songs since 2012: “Giacometti” and “Ready Go.” The record will be available at select retail outlets, but only 5,000 copies have been printed, so act quickly.

Dining and Deception

Rick Moonen, one of Las Vegas’ highest-profile celebrity chefs, will host a viewing party this week for an episode of Bravo’s Recipe for Deception. In the episode, which airs Jan. 28, Moonen and several other chefs compete, asking each other three “yes or no” questions to determine what their dish’s mystery component is, with opponents answering with truthful answers and one lie. Guests of the party will enjoy small plates featuring lobster rolls, crab cakes and more prepared by Moonen, along with a “Deception” cocktail. Tickets are $25. For more information, call 702.632.9300.

While performing in Las Vegas, Elvis stayed at the 5,000-squarefoot Elvis Suite, perched on the 30th floor of the International Hotel.

Elvis’ famous backing band, The Jordanaires, did not join him in his Las Vegas shows. The new band, led by guitarist James Burton, became known as the TCB band—short for Taking Care of Business.

Elvis’ famous outfits worn on stage in Las Vegas were specially designed martial arts gis in jumpsuit form (Presley was a big karate fan).

All Hail!

Celebrate the king of rock ’n’ roll’s extraordinary life In honor of Elvis Presley’s birthday month— he was born Jan. 8, 1935—Las Vegas guests can celebrate his life and legacy.

The first stop: Graceland Presents Elvis: The Exhibition at Westgate Las Vegas. This is the largest collection in the city and first-ever permanent exhibit outside of Memphis, spanning over 28,000 square feet. Hundreds of artifacts direct from the Graceland Archives, with never-before seen pieces, cover his childhood, early recording career, Hollywood and Las Vegas years.

Presley fans can also get their fill at the Hard Rock Café (one on the Strip, the other at Hard Rock Hotel). The Strip location has two displays dedicated to the King, with records, guitars and outfits; while the one next to the hotel has dedicated a complete wall filled with guitars and gold records and even a life-size statue of Elvis is on display.

Just mere steps away at the Hard Rock Hotel, check out one of the priciest pieces in the property’s memorabilia collection—a 1972 Shooting Star jumpsuit worn by Elvis when he played Madison Square Garden.

The piece, purchased for the collection, is now worth an estimated $300,000.

If hearing the King’s music is more of a celebration for you, check out Million Dollar Quartet at Harrah’s. The show’s story follows the historical recording session at Sun Studios in 1956 with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley.

Each star is brought back to life through mannerisms, charisma, voice, and, of course, the music. –Kiko Miyasato

SPOTLIGHT

Mind, Body and Soul Carlos Santana has always incorporated a spiritual element into his music, and that sense comes through in his entire demeanor.

Anyone checking out his resident show, Greatest Hits Live at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, will immediately get the feeling that he’s trying to convey. Fans can expect to hear familiar hits, from “Evil Ways,” “Oye Como Va” and “Black Magic Woman” to “Smooth” and “Maria Maria,” but the composition of the show changes every night to allow for improvisation and experimentation. It imbues each show with a feeling of transcendence, providing more for the audience than just a rock concert.

Get Your Jam On

Brooklyn Bowl at The Linq, 9 p.m. Jan. 29, starting at $17 plus fee, 18+. 702.862.2695

The world of jam bands has expanded greatly in musical variety since the Grateful Dead first spawned the genre decades ago, from rockers who embrace jazz-style improvisation to funk and jazz bands that put on rock-style performances. Colorado-based group The Motet, led by drummer Dave Watts, is on the jazz end of the jam-band spectrum, with elements of funk, progressive rock and afrobeat. Watts founded the group in 1998 with a rotating cast of band members, and has released six studio albums.

Like the jam-band godfathers in Phish, the members of The Motet like to play musical dress-up at Halloween, and every October they perform concerts featuring the music of one other artist. Tribute subjects have ranged from the Grateful Dead to Madonna to the Beatles, giving an idea of the breadth of style that The Motet’s music encompasses. As Watts puts it on the band’s website, it’s all about combining the spontaneity of jamming with the core of solid songwriting. –Josh Bell

The Life Aquatic While more than 15 species of sharks lurk underwater at the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, next door visitors can take a look at the inner workings of said sea creatures. Opened in conjunction with the Aquarium, the Sea Monsters Revealed exhibit features animals preserved in a process called polymer plastination. That allows people to discover the anatomy of species like the whale shark, mako shark, sunfish, and individual organs of tropical

Shark Reef Aquarium models itself after an ancient Indo-Pacific temple slowly being overtaken by aquatic reptiles and the very ocean itself. The deepest and most immersive level houses the 1.3 million-gallon main attraction. You’ll find yourself within a shipwreck below the waves, with all manner of sharks, sea turtles, sawfish and other species. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

So Fresh Las Vegas born-and-raised DJ Kid Conrad rides multiple waves in Las Vegas. You can catch him behind the booth at nightclubs such as The Bank and 1 OAK, spinning everything from hip-hop to open format. When the dreadlock-wearing, laid-back, casual-dressed DJ isn’t spinning in Sin City, he’s busy on the music circuit laying the foundation for projects such as The Come Up Vol. 4, his mixtape compilation released about a year ago. This weekend, the native takes the party into overdrive at Foxtail nightclub with a special DJ set. –Chanelle Hayes SLS Las Vegas, 10:30 p.m. Jan. 29, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.761.7619

Just Down the Block While Jennifer Lopez is entertaining the masses at Planet Hollywood Resort, you can catch the next best thing at Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas, which features one the world’s foremost J. Lo impersonators—Carlos Rodriguez. From her look and her moves to her attitude, Rodriguez impersonates the entertainer with uncanny accuracy, lip-synching to some of Jenny From the Block’s most famous hits.

Rodriguez joins a large cast that pays tribute to some of the entertainment world’s biggest female acts, everyone from Madonna and Lady Gaga to Britney Spears and Beyoncé. The whole production is equal parts mesmerizing and uproarious.

Heading it all up is the hilarious and engaging Marino, who comes out on stage between each act— always with a different, fabulous outfit—to introduce the next performer. His stand-up at the beginning of every show is a no-holds-barred mash-up of current events. Nothing is off limits for Marino, and his audiences expect nothing less. –Ken Miller The Linq Hotel, 9:30 p.m. daily, $79.19-$101.19 VIP plus tax and fee, 12+. 702.777.2782

Modern Traditions There’s something about Nine Fine Irishmen that tells you it’s time to party. Enter through a narrow hall that opens up into the main bar, constructed in Ireland and shipped to America, and then look up to see a second story of excitement awaiting. Nine Fine Irishmen is awash in lacquered wood, old-school imagery and bright TV monitors, creating the perfect mix of friendly neighborhood pub and rowdy sports bar.

The beer menu is a greatest hits list, featuring Guinness, Harp, Smithwick’s, Bass and Magners cider, all on draft. There are plenty of

bottles, too, and a wide whiskey selection—because it doesn’t always have to be Jameson.

Hearty food is required with hearty drink, and the cuisine at Nine Fine Irishmen doesn’t disappoint. Start with colcannon soup, a creamy purée of potatoes, cabbage and leeks, or a shared platter of rustic breads served with a decadent beer and cheddar cheese dip. And bangers and mash always hit the spot. –Brock Radke New York-New York, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. daily, bar 11 a.m.-2:45 a.m. daily, live music begins at 9 p.m. daily. 702.740.6463

Nothin’ But a Good Time

Musical transports audience to the ’80s Sunset Strip Consider the memories—the music, the hair, the Reaganomics. Now consider that you can revisit it all—well, minus the Gipper’s economic arithmetic— at Rock of Ages, a rockin’, mockin’ jukebox musical that proves you can’t keep a wacky decade down.

In this show, which makes its way from The Venetian to its new home at Rio this month, hits from some of the era’s hottest artists—including Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, RO Speedwagon and Poison—are melded into a rollicking score. All that metal-rock madness propels a cute-boy-meets-saucy-girl story—he’s Drew, a wannabe rocker, she’s Sherrie, a wannabe actress—set on L.A.’s Sunset Strip against the backdrop of the Bourbon Room club, which is under threat from developers.

Among the gallery of other characters: whackedout rocker Stacee Jaxx; middle-aged club owner Dennis; and—in a hilarious performance—Mark Shunock as Lonny, the club’s mullet-wearing, fourth wall-breaking assistant who functions as show narrator and endless wellspring of sassy quips and slapstick sight gags.

Big laughs. Big hits. Bigger hair. A rock-out for the ages. –Steve Bornfeld

AT A GLANCE

Rock of Ages Opened at The Venetian in December 2012 and performed its last show there on Jan. 3 Moved into the newly renamed Rock of Ages Theater (formerly Crown Theater) at Rio and is now a 130-minute show with a brief intermission Songs performed include “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “Sherrie,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” The Broadway musical inspired the movie that starred Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Alec Baldwin

Gifts of Illusion Famously, he appeared to make the Statue of Liberty vanish. Is that any way for a gentleman to treat a Lady (Liberty)? Nifty, though, right?

Nothing so immense unfolds at David Copperfield’s Las Vegas show, but expect an evening of invention and imagination nonetheless.

Constantly updating his bag—well, more like a Mack Truck—of tricks, Copperfield brings his show in line with the social media age, performing illusions involving email and Twitter. Audience participation figures prominently for those willing to become part of the magic. License plates, a duck and an animatronic alien all enter into the entertainment. Things materialize and dematerialize. Predictions leave the crowd stumped.

Copperfield tells the tale of his journey to fame, reaching back to being a 6-year-old in New Jersey.

Video footage of his parents and stories of his beloved grandfather bring the larger-than-life prestidigitator down to earth. –Steve Bornfeld

Excite the Senses He’s a Classic Man Perhaps you require an introduction to the classic Vegas aesthetic. Then you require an introduction to Matt Goss, who radiates it from every sultry-toned, velvet-voiced note.

Goss continues to cultivate his next-gen Sinatra persona; with a ring-a-ding-ding singing style infused with a unique charm and swagger, Goss uncannily recalls the Chairman of the Board. Backed by a ninepiece band, Goss updates Ol’ Blue Eyes standards such as “Luck Be a Lady.” While

34 1.24.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

honoring that artistry, Goss also brings a smooth-as-brandy gloss to later pop hits.

Solidifying a mutual admiration, Caesars Palace rechristened Goss’ venue, the Cleopatra Barge lounge, as the Gossy Room. And Goss penned “Lovely Las Vegas,” a musical love letter to the town where his performance schedule was recently expanded. This city was Sinatra’s playground. Now Goss is frolicking in his footsteps. –SB

Jennifer Romas has been a choreographer in films such as Think Like a Man Too and even worked directly with Las Vegas resident headliner Britney Spears. At Westgate Las Vegas, Romas is the creator, producer, choreographer and star of Sexxy, the property’s first-ever adult revue.

The New Italian In any Italian restaurant, pasta is paramount and executive chef Michael LaPlaca’s approach may be unprecedented at Portofino at The Mirage. The burrata-stuffed agnolotti are painstakingly wrapped moments before being served with lobster doused with slightly sweet roasted corn butter. LaPlaca has some tricks up his sleeve such as with his ripatelli; you’ve most likely never had it before because he invented it while attempting to replicate “torn” pasta.

Necessity truly is the mother of invention. The same is true of the chicken “rollatini” Parmesan which transforms chicken legs and thighs into a sausage which is subsequently wrapped in breast—you’ll most likely never experience another chicken Parmesan like it.

On the lighter side, snapper “in cartoccio” is sublime. While the original incarnation is served in paper, Portofino’s is prepared in a plastic bag where it is baked in its own juices along with Santa Margherita pinot grigio, olives and arti-

chokes. Sliced open tableside with a welcoming aroma wafting from within, the flaky fish literally falls apart on the plate. –Jim Begley

A Unified Quartet Big boys don’t cry—they scramble out from under hardscrabble lives to create one of the signature pop groups of the 20th century.

Which leads to one of the beloved jukebox musicals of the 21st century. In Jersey Boys, we learn the compelling story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons: how they found their sound behind the distinct falsetto of their lead singer and rode a roller coaster of career highs, personal lows, family tragedies and internal strife en route to installation in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

There’s one thing you’re not likely to find on the Las Vegas Strip anytime soon: Snow. Luckily, a winter wonderland is less than an hour away at Lee Canyon (6725 Lee Canyon Road, 702.385.2754), 445 acres of outdoor recreation such as skiing, hiking, tubing and snowboarding.

Great moments throughout history have often been captured on camera. On Dec. 4, 1956, one such image captured a glorious moment in rock ’n’ roll history: the Million Dollar Quartet, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash, who recorded a jam session at Sam Phillips’ Sun Studio in Memphis, Tenn.

Hits performed include “Wild One,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “That’s All Right, Mama,” “I Walk the Line,” “Matchbox,” “Who Do You Love” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.” There are no prerecorded tracks or lip-synching; that’s what makes Million Dollar Quartet such a stellar show. The moves, mannerisms and voices of Cash, Perkins, Presley and Lewis are supremely replicated, as are the piano and guitar skills that were so admired in the original performers.

In the show’s finale, a restaging of that remarkable image captured on camera is a truly powerful moment—a photographic reminder of the musical pioneers’ contribution to rock history. –Kiko Miyasato

The sizzling production draws hundreds of screaming women all vying for the attention of the dancers who circulate throughout the audience for some up-close and personal moments. –Penny Levin

One of the Strip’s longest-running magicians, Dirk Arthur is a true throwback to vintage Las Vegas. His stage show, Wild Magic, features big, over-the-top acts involving sawing a lady in nine parts and making a helicopter appear from thin air. But the engaging Arthur has another side to his show: Felines, including a snow leopard, white Bengal tiger and black panther. A brief video shows his conservation efforts to protect endangered animals. And all his cats are used liberally throughout his show, popping up out of containers, in cages, through holes. –Ken Miller Westgate Las Vegas, 4 p.m. Mon.-Sat., $49$79. 800.222.5361

Magical Mystery Every time you gape in wonder, an Angel earns his wings. That would be the Gothlooking one who stars in CRISS ANGEL Believe, an extravaganza of magical acts crossed with Cirque du Soleil’s signature flourishes, live musicians, a DJ and the star’s own exhortations to the audience to get up and get loud.

Amid dark, mysterious sets generating a surreal vibe, the black leather-clad magician famed for his ambitious stunts—and aided by his comic sidekick, Maestro— pulls off more than 30 tricks and illusions.

In just 30 seconds—go on, time it—he escapes from a straitjacket while suspended on a hook above fans.

More disappearances, levitations and sawing a woman in half are on tap, but all of it is touched by the unique Angel theatricality—a dreamlike atmosphere punctuated by fantastical Cirque characters, dramatic music and eerie lighting.

Peppered throughout is the street magic popularized by Angel, and even some illusions made famous by every magician’s inspiration, Harry Houdini. –Steve Bornfeld

Lakeside Partying

Unique space perfect for upscale fun Hyde Bellagio operates under the enchantment that it’s a lost Italian villa, a hidden apartment within the walls of the resort and once the lock in unlatched and you step inside, it’s a swank world of elegance and intimacy.

The cherry on top exists in the view Hyde sports—the nightclub’s outdoor space overlooks the world-famous Fountains of Bellagio. It’s about as close to the water wonder you can get with a cocktail in hand. The interior design of the space mirrors that of a hip, contemporary living space, with old-World touches. Soft browns and blacks, mute whites and crèmes match seamlessly with dark-wood flooring, billowy sheer curtains and stunning chandeliers. The DJ booth sits elevated behind a stunning black and white

mock fireplace. Besides the indoor bar, which stretches that entire length of the back wall, another smaller bar resides on the patio. The patio, decorated with accents of black, silver, white and touches of greenery is reminiscent of a Tuscan garden, a perfect retreat under the nighttime sky.

Hyde completes the opulent experience by inviting guests to partake in a more lounge-like experience along with cocktails and small bites between the hours of 5-10 p.m. Order food from neighboring culinary hot spot Lago by Julian Serrano. The large menu includes standouts like duck and Kobe sliders, vegetable spring rolls, tomato-braised beef meatballs, roasted green olives and pecorino cheese foccacia, crab Rangoon and beef satay.

When 10:30 p.m. rolls around, the club atmosphere takes over and it’s an upscale party with DJs spinning mash ups, top 40s, EDM and more.

Hyde also welcomes live performances that include Travis Barker’s residency show Give the Drummer Some—a combination of a live drum and DJ set. Barker’s next show is Feb. 20. This week, guests can mix and mingle with Vegas industry elite at Lost Angels Industry Night with DJ Five. Infamous Wednesdays welcomes the beautiful people for a night of debauchery with DJ D Miles at the helm; Fridays, spend the evening with the sounds of DJ Dijital and Saturday with DJ Joe Maz. –Kiko Miyasato Lounge 5-10 p.m. daily, nightclub 10:30 p.m.5 a.m. Tues.-Wed. & Fri.-Sat. 702.693.8700

Downtown Grand 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Mon.Fri., 4-10 p.m. Sat.-Sun. 702.384.2761

Downtown Grand’s Triple George Grill has been compared to San Francisco eateries and it certainly has that vibe down. The shotgun-style restaurant, accented by dark wood throughout, features a bar on one side and snugs and booths on the other; it’s the perfect atmosphere to hang out with family and friends.

You’ll find an old-school bar and grill menu—seafood, steak and chicken, with options for any member of your dining party. Go ahead and start with a beer or cocktail—you’ll find several varieties of craft beer and ciders, plus cocktails like the espressotini, with Baileys, Kahlua, vanilla vodka and espresso.

Appetizers start with plenty of seafood—from oysters and shrimp to seared ahi. The baked goat cheese, soft and warm, comes in a pool of marinara, ultimately spreadable on crispy toasted slices of bread served alongside. Balsamic perks up a classic bruschetta, with chopped tomato, garlic and grated Parmesan atop.

The baked onion soup makes an excellent precursor to your entreé—a thick cap of cheese covers the rich broth. If you pass by the soup, try the caprese or George’s chopped, chock-full of fresh vegetables and salumi.

Pot roast and chicken pot pie are favorites with the Triple George crowd, as are the steak and chops.

For a flavorful mouthful, the tender 16-ounce New York strip surely will satisfy. All the steaks here at the George are given a garlic butter topper, and come with an assortment of veggies, from mashed potatoes to carrots. Order a side or two—steakhouse perennials such as creamed corn and spinach pair well with the meat.

Triple George features Bay Area-inspired seafood, such as shrimp George—crab-stuffed with lemon butter sauce—cioppino, of course, and ahi.

Chicken lovers will be glad to know that pot pie isn’t the only incarnation of the bird. Buttermilk sagefried chicken rests alongside country gravy. You’ll even find an unusual chicken saltimbocca with mushroom Marsala sauce.

Vegetarians need not despair, as Triple George has a menu just for you. The Gardein Marsala might be up your alley, or you might choose a grilled vegetable platter of porcini-stuffed ravioli from the main menu. The ravioli is served with a lovely mushroom cream sauce full of delicious sun-dried tomatoes, making for an expected sweet pop in your mouth.

Dessert awaits. Carrot cake is plump full of raisins and walnuts with that classic cream cheese frosting—but a little Chantilly cream never hurt. And neither did a Brown Cow—Smirnoff Root Beer Float, Baileys and cream—dessert in liquid form, as it were.

Mario Gonzalez

35 Steaks & Martinis general manager welcomes you ‘home’ It all started for Mario Gonzalez in his family’s restaurant in Veracruz, Mexico—that’s where he got his start in the food and beverage industry.

From there to 35 Steaks & Martinis at Hard Rock Hotel, it’s been a success story.

He moved to L.A. in 1980 to work at the famous Rainbow Bar & Grill. A couple of years after that he was working for celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck—10 years in and he was helping manage the famous Spago in Beverly Hills. In 1999, Gonzalez made the move to Las Vegas to open Puck’s Postrio restaurant. After that, Gonzalez managed some of the city’s best dining establishments. In 2013, he joined 35 Steaks.

“Being the general manager—it’s like taking care of my house,” he said. “I open the doors,

46 1.24.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

take care of the guests, big smile, eye contact.

They’ll know we have something good here.”

Besides enjoying excellent food—Gonzalez suggests every table start with the seafood tower, or order the 35-ounce tomahawk steak— it’s not unusual for guests to dine next to stars.

“When KISS had their residency show, they ate here every night,” Gonzalez said. “Rascal Flatts, too, many of the bands, musicians playing at The Joint, they all come and eat here.”

After more than 30 years in the biz, Gonzalez still finds it exciting. “I enjoy doing this,” he said.

“And if you love what you do, and you have fun and do the best you can, you’re going to keep winning. I love every day opening this restaurant and making people happy.” –Kiko Miyasato

Of the dozen specialty martinis offered at 35 Steaks & Martinis, the Spicy Serrano martini is the biggest seller by far.

“Almost every table orders one,” Gonzalez said.

With a little sweetness and a little spice, the martini mixes Belvedere Intense vodka, fresh basil, sweet and sour mix, crushed Serrano peppers and a splash of syrup. Gonzalez also suggests, if your party is in celebration mode, trying the restaurant’s own sparkling wine.

Named “35,” the demisec sparkling wine was specially made three years ago and pairs well with the seafood tower, said Gonzalez. –KM

The Brow Lowdown Strong, thick eyebrows were everywhere last year, and if you weren’t a fan of the over-drawn, the über-defined or the infamous faded “Instagram brow,” then read on. A soft, feathered brow is key to making your arches look fuller and more natural, helping you look younger. If you were too friendly with your tweezers in the ’90s, allow your brows to grow in for eight weeks before consulting with a brow expert. During this time,

you can use a growth serum—or my personal favorite—castor oil, with a drop rubbed into each brow nightly. In the meantime, and beyond when your brows are grown out to their new potential, use a brow pencil to fill in sparse areas, stroking up and out to mimic where the hairs should be.

Finish off with a brow gel to brush the front of the brow upwards, the middle of the brow back down and the ends outwards. –Sarah Redzikowski

Jubilee nears the end of its run after nearly 35 fabulous feathered years

Legendary producer/ choreographer Donn Arden received the ultimate Las Vegas tribute after he passed away on Nov. 2, 1994, when the lights on the Strip were momentarily dimmed in his honor. His final creation, Jubilee, would live on for more than two additional decades, but on Feb. 11, the 34-year old topless revue will go dark for the last time. It’s a milestone for Strip entertainment’s historical timeline, representing the inevitable severance of a direct line between contemporary Vegas and its golden era. Jubilee is a legacy of the lavish productions and giant headdresses that could be found at the Desert Inn and The Stardust, The Sands and the Dunes. That era is gone, but for a brief

The number of feathers in Jubilee’s huge headpieces and costumes can approach

20,000. window of time its entertainment can still be experienced.

Arden arrived in Las Vegas in 1950 at the behest of the owners of The Desert Inn. A dancer since childhood, Arden was mentored by choreographer Robert Alton, who became a Broadway director and worked on the film version of Showboat, but by the ’30s Arden had carved out his own reputation, staging shows and working with increasingly larger casts of chorus girls. He traveled to Paris, birthplace of risqué revues, and launched a production at the Lido in 1947. The Lido’s “Bluebell Girls” would inspire Arden’s aesthetic for dancers, including a height requirement, for the rest of his career.

54 1.24.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Top and middle images Las Vegas Sun file photos, bottom left photo by Christopher DeVargas , remaining images courtesy of Jubilee

Arden would launch more productions, including a version of the topless Lido show at the Stardust, but by the ’70s, his Vegas focus was on Hallelujah Hollywood at the old MGM Grand (now Bally’s). His penchant for lavish costumes and precision dance numbers had been accompanied by larger and larger budgets, and, by 1980, a vision for a new show began to take shape. Jubilee! (the exclamation point was eventually dropped) would include a Stairway to the Stars for dancers to descend, require a small fortune for feathered and bejeweled costumes designed by Bob Mackie and Pete Menefee, and have massive sets built for segments inspired by the biblical tale of Samson and Delilah and The Titanic.

Unfortunately, much of that would be destroyed by the tragic MGM Grand fire of November 1980. Arden and company manager Ffolliott “Fluff” LeCoque would practically have to start from scratch, but the show opened in July 1981 and helped carry the torch for showgirl revues until it was the last of its kind. It would experience changes—like many Vegas productions it replaced live music with prerecorded tracks—and revisions, but the core of the show remained unchanged.

It became a tribute to classic entertainment, holding ground in an increasingly tech-dependent entertainment landscape and providing a last refuge for professional dancers to perform the showgirl steps known as The Donn Arden Walk.

On Dec. 12, two days after LeCoque’s passing at age 92, the cast and crew were informed the show would soon close. As that date approaches, audiences are increasingly populated by returning guests who want to catch it one last time and devoted dancers who want to see the one-of-a-kind show before the opportunity is gone forever. Nearly as significant is the opportunity to take the afternoon backstage tour, during which a dancer guides guests through the massive sets and multilevel stages as well as the dressing rooms and costuming areas. For a brief time, there’s still a chance to see the glory before the last headdress is worn, before the last Donn Arden walk is taken, and before the lights go dim forever.

Taking a subway ride with Jenny From the Block, Vegas’ newest resident headliner Yo, J.Lo, how ya doin? Bronx native, right?

Me too! You hail from the Castle Hill section—South Bronx. Me, the Morris Heights section—West Bronx.

The Bronx Rules!

You up for a little nostalgia—a ride on the No. 6 subway that inspired the title of your On the 6 album, the one you always took into Manhattan? So did I! Wasn’t it fun dodging gang-bangers, street prophets, flashers and mimes? Let’s take a jaunt to yesteryear before you head westward to join the Vegas roster of superstar headliners.

Let’s catch it at Pelham Bay, the station of origination, where it’s the El—natives’ shorthand for elevated train—before it burrows un-

derground. Watch the sliding doors. (You don’t want to damage that famous rear carriage of yours.) How ’bout a bit of “Jenny From the Block” while we’re barreling down the tracks?

Put on a show!

“Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got / I’m still Jenny from the block.” Belt it, baby! Don’t worry about that elderly woman asleep in the construction worker’s lap—nothing’s waking her. But the 6 is filling up with Big Apple characters—you’re getting an audience.

“Used to have a little, now I have a lot / No matter where I go I know where I came from— south-side Bronx!” That street musician who just jumped in isn’t playing in your key. I’ll give him a buck to move along. Whoa, Jenny, that’s super generous, but stuffing a thousand-dollar check in the bell of his sax isn’t quite JennyFrom-the-Block-like.

“From ‘In Living Color’ to movie scripts / To ‘On the 6’ to J.Lo to this headline clips / I stay grounded as the amounts roll in.” Watch out around the support poles. That guy in the Spiderman getup is climbing them upside down.

“Keep away from J.Lo, weirdo! What does she look like—the Green Goblin?”

“I’m real even on Oprah / That’s just me / Nothin’ phony don’t hate on me / What you get is what you see.” Don’t dance near that guy in the top hat and shorts who’s petting his snake.

Or is that noise just from the baby rattle of the swaddled infant next to them?

“We off the block this year / Went from a low to a lot this year.” Check out those teens with purple-streaked hair and safety pins in their tongues, making out. If they French kiss, they’ll need a locksmith to pry them apart.

“Everybody mad at the rocks that I wear / I know where I’m goin’ and I know where I’m from.” Move aside a bit, Jenny, that Popeyes Chicken mascot wants to sit down and can’t squeeze his feathers inside the metal railing.

“Nothing phony with us / Make the money, get the mansion / Bring the homies with us.”

Keep belting, Jen. Just because the Les Miserables cast filed in doesn’t mean you should join them for “Can You Hear the People Sing,” which loses a little drama with a hip-hop beat.

“Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got / I’m still, I’m still Jenny from the block.” Look—a mariachi band just boarded. Think if we pay ’em union scale, they’ll play back up for you?”

“Used to have a little now I have a lot / No matter where I go I know where I came from— south-side Bronx.” Wow, the whole subway car’s rockin’ with you now. Even the elderly woman woke up. She’s dirty dancin’ between Spiderman and the Popeyes chicken dude.

This is what I call a Jenny-From-the-Block party. Let’s move it to Vegas.

Magical Steps

Irish dancing sensation Riverdance (The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, 702.749.2000) has some pretty odd origins: It began as a composition for the Eurovision Song Contest, an international competition featuring original pop songs representing various European countries. Composer Bill Whelan based the original piece, which debuted at 1994’s Eurovision, on a previous Eurovision

Photo by Jack Hartin

composition of his titled “Timedance.” From those unlikely beginnings, Riverdance became an international phenomenon, fusing traditional Irish dance with modern musical theater and pop-music sensibilities and launching the careers of stars like Michael Flatley.

The current Riverdance tour, coming to Las Vegas for a run starting Jan. 26, celebrates the show’s 20th anniversary, and includes classic

performances along with new costumes, lighting and design, plus a new number showcasing the troupe’s female members.

Since beginning in 1995, Riverdance has been seen by more than 24 million people, and it’s still going strong. What began as an effort by one Irish composer to highlight his country’s cultural heritage has since become a global juggernaut. –Josh Bell

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.

This year will mark the 60th anniversary of the incredible night in a Memphis storefront recording studio that Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins met by accident and recorded for the first and only time music that inspired the musical Million Dollar Quartet.

To mark the Dec. 4, 1956, night of miracle music, the cast of the Harrah’s show will have two tickets for $60 every Thursday through the end of the year.

WhoWhatWhere Rock ’n’ roll legend John Fogerty announced his limited engagement at The Venetian in true style, arriving at the venue on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and giving an acoustic performance of “Who’ll Stop the Rain” to his fans.

Nine-time NBA All-Star Dominique Wilkins had lunch

with guests at Morels French Steakhouse & Bistro at The Venetian. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck dined with friends at Lavo in Palazzo. Baltimore Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb and Hall of Famer Warren Moon enjoyed a set by DJ Franzen at Drai’s Nightclub.

Former soccer player

Davor Šuker was spotted at Carmine’s in The Forum Shops at Caesars. San Francisco 49ers fullback Bruce Miller visited both the Bodies and Titanic exhibits at Luxor. Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson shared a booth at Tao Nightclub with friends.

Las Vegas crooner Brian Evans and William Shatner performed a duet at Evans’ show in Maui. They also filmed a music video together with the songs “It Was a Very Good Year” and “Here You Come Again.” Dog the Bounty Hunter, Beth Chapman, Leland Chapman and Paul Rodriguez appear in Carrot Top’s production of Evans’ new music video. “Here You Come Again” has already become one of the Top 10 most-added singles to country radio. The video comes out in March.

The Tropicana’s Raiding the Rock Vault welcomes back REO Speedwagon lead guitarist Dave Amato for shows Feb. 3-22. The guitarist first attended Vault in December 2014 when he joined the band for “Jukebox Hero,” “Highway to Hell” and “Jump.” “We’re elated that Dave will spend nearly the entire month of February performing with us,” said producer Sir Harry Cowell. “He’s been a longtime supporter of the show, and we can’t wait to welcome him to the stage.”

Upcoming Puppet Up! combines improv with unconventional performers Who would have guessed that the genius artists behind Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog and the other wholesome and good characters of The Muppets and Sesame Street would have a naughty side? Apparently, that’s what happened often before and after cameras rolled. It became the inspiration for a new show, Puppet Up! Uncensored. Irreverent and unpredictable, unrehearsed and unscripted, Puppet Up! will debut this spring as a resident production at The Venetian. Those Sesame Street darlings won’t be in it, however. The Muppets were the brainchild of famed puppeteers Jim Henson and Frank Oz, and

96 1.24.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

now son Brian Henson has teamed with improv guru Patrick Bristow to haul into Las Vegas an unruly cast of 60 puppet characters manipulated by six expert puppeteers to bring to life twisted scenes and songs on the fly, all prompted by the audience in this late-night mayhem. Patrick’s resume includes Ellen, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Friends, Mad About You and Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Las Vegas producer Adam Steck of SPI Entertainment worked for three years to bring Puppet Up! here as its co-producer. Base Entertainment (Absinthe, Rock of Ages, Million Dollar Quartet) is co-producing the show.
