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’s in the air

Love takes many forms, and in Las Vegas you will find them all. Decades ago, our city became known as the Wedding Capital of the World, hosting some of the most famous ceremonies of all time, including Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu, and Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow. With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, Las Vegas chapels are preparing for a dramatic influx in the number of nuptials—odds are more than a few of you reading this magazine are preparing to walk down the aisle as we speak.

While some are getting hitched, other couples flock to the Strip around this time of year for romantic getaways. If you’ve brought your loved one to Las Vegas to commemorate Feb. 14, congratulations—you’ve made the first big step in creating memories that will last a lifetime.

And thanks to writer Chanelle Hayes, you’ll find plenty of ideas for making the most of this special time on page 54.

There’s another reason to do some serious partying: Chinese New Year celebrations are upon us, and properties up and down the Strip are planning special exhibits, celebrations and specials to commemorate the Year of the Monkey. And to really get in the spirit of the occasion, take a visit to one of Las Vegas’ newest sparkling jewels: Mr. Chow at Caesars Palace. Michael Chow has only opened seven of his legendary namesake restaurants over the last four decades, making this a very special occasion indeed.

Feeling the love yet? We are, too.

Norm Macdonald Saturday Night Live veteran continues his love of stand-up

Norm Macdonald is a comedian’s comedian, one of the few Saturday Night Live cast members whose career continued in an constant upward trajectory since appearing on the long-running sketch-comedy series. That’s due in part because Macdonald has always made standup a priority rather than a springboard to something else, but he’s also effortlessly funny—a quality that will be enhanced synergistically when he appears onstage with SNL alumni Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider for their Feb. 13-14 appearances at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel.

He spoke recently with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen.

You were just here in January at The Orleans, and I think you have a date scheduled later in the year. Is this normal for you to have so many appearances in Vegas?

I really don’t do Vegas that often, but it’s my favorite place to play.

For a long time I was trying to get a room in Vegas. but it’s very financially difficult to do. The only person that’s made money off it is Carrot Top, because you have to buy a room yourself and then sell tickets. It’s definitely my favorite place to play because I like to be in Vegas, and I find the Vegas audiences are the best.

If there were demand, would you take a room in Vegas?

Oh, absolutely, yeah. That would be amazing!

I couldn’t really find more information about the Feb. 13-14 shows at the Hard Rock Hotel beyond it’s going to be you, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider, and that Netflix might be involved with the tour. How did these shows come together?

It was Sandler’s idea. He was between movies and stuff, and he works like crazy. He works all the time on movies. He was

24 2.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

talking about the old days when we used to do stand-up, because we all did stand-up at The Improv.

We weren’t SCTV guys before we did Saturday Night Live. We did stand-up, so we all hung out together at The Improv and we’d go on the road together. So he says we should do it again. I’d love for it to be for a long time, but I’m sure he’s got another movie coming up. This tour is, like, 10 days, and it ends at The Joint, which should be amazing.

You’re going to have a memoir (Based on a True Story) out soon, right?

Yes, my side of the story. I turned in the final draft last week. It took a lot longer than I thought. If I had gotten somebody to write it for me, it would have been a lot easier.

What does it entail? Is it going to be your entire biography or does it focus more on your stand-up?

No, it’s mostly SNL. Nothing ever happens in stand-up, so mostly SNL. I just did manual labor before I got into stand-up, so I tell how I got into stand-up and what it took to get into stand-up, and so forth.

It was fun to do, though. Just took a long time.

Celine Dion and her late husband Rene Angelil, who passed away this year after a long battle with cancer, were married for 21 years. They wed at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Montreal.

Rock of Ages, which moved to the Rio earlier this year, made its Las Vegas premiere at The Venetian in 2012, the same year the movie version was released.

For lovestruck couples all over the globe, romance is embodied by Tiffany & Co.’s world-famous diamond engagement ring, the Tiffany Setting.

The six-pronged, brilliant-cut diamond made its debut in 1886, and this year marks its 130th anniversary. When founder Charles Lewis Tiffany introduced the setting to consumers, it was the first time that a diamond was lifted off the band, allowing for natural light to maximize the stone’s brilliance. The Tiffany Setting remains a symbol of elegance and luxury, wrapped in the famous Tiffany Blue Box. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, celebrate by purchasing the love of your life a Tiffany Setting ring. With the 130th anniversary in full swing all year, you and your sweetie can share in a piece of Tiffany history.

The Paloma Picasso Love ring in 18K white gold with diamonds, the Tiffany Hearts pendant in 18k rose gold with diamonds and the Paloma Picasso Loving Heart earrings in 18k rose gold with diamonds are all perfect complements to celebrating a shared love.

He’s Got a Point Of the four stand-up comedians who made up the original Blue Collar Comedy Tour (Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White), White has done the most to move his comedy past reliance on catch phrases and Southern stereotypes. You won’t hear many references to “tater salad” in White’s current material, despite “They call me tater salad” being his catchphrase. But even as he’s grown past the blue-collar label, White has remained affable and self-deprecating, and material about marriage or children can be appreciated by all sorts of people.

Whatever color your collar, White has something for you to laugh at.

Metal Creations Lamb of God’s name may make the group sound like a church choir, but make no mistake: This heavy metal band from Virginia is intense. As one of the bands at the forefront of the new wave of American heavy metal, Lamb of God has played a huge part in defining the sound of heavy metal in the last 15 years, and they’ve grown from upstarts to respected veterans over the course of seven albums.

In 2008, Lamb of God was the opening act for the World Magnetic tour by metal legends Metallica; now in 2016, Metallica’s pioneering thrash-metal peers Anthrax are the opening act for the latest Lamb of God tour. That not only shows how successful Lamb of God has become, but also the level of respect the band has for their forebears. This tour also includes critically acclaimed avant-metal group Deafheaven and up-and-coming thrash/hard-core band Power Trip, making for a diverse metal show that represents Lamb of God’s status as both carriers of metal’s legacy and leaders of the genre’s future. –Josh Bell

Starring in the Booth The Family Feeling Continues Charm, talent and nostalgia combine to create one of the best examples of old-school showmanship in new Las Vegas when Donny & Marie take the stage. Entering to “It Takes Two,” Donny and Marie Osmond engage the audience, good-naturedly needling each other—a dynamic dating back to the banter of their 1970s series. They rock the room with “Get the Party Started,” “Dancing in the Street” and “Knock on Wood,” before taking turns in the spotlight.

Crossing genres, Marie performs country hits, then opera, before barreling into a “Walk This Way”/“These Boots Are Made for Walking” mashup. Donny busts the moves on “Yo-Yo.” Other hits include “Puppy Love” and “Soldier of Love.” They reunite for a finale with “Deep Purple” and “Make the World Go Away.” –Steve Bornfeld Flamingo, 7:30 p.m. Tues.-Sat.

You can call New Jersey’s own DJ Hollywood the Mr. Las Vegas of nightlife. The DJ has been a prominent figure in Sin City’s bustling nightlife scene for more than 20 years, spinning at longgone venues such as RA and Pure. And his name suits him—he’s spun at high-profile parties for A-list celebs and worked with music legends Paul van Dyk, Tiësto and Grandmaster Flash. He’s quite the mover and shaker of Las Vegas, too; he has had his own radio show for six years. This weekend, he jump-starts the weekend behind the booth at Foxtail nightclub. –Chanelle Hayes SLS Las Vegas, 10:30 p.m. Feb. 12, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.761.7619

The Music of the People Should you be inclined to croon a Mexican lullaby to send your baby off to dreamland, skip this repertoire—and save it for your own compelling entertainment.

You’ll find it in the music of singer/songwriter Gerardo Ortíz, and his specialty of performing corridos—a native genre of narrative, socially relevant ballads that includes stories of oppression and the lives of peasants. Ortíz, who survived a 2011 ambush that left two members of his entourage dead, also gained fame for his sub-genre of narcocorridos—stories of drug trafficking critics call “gangster rap” and “mafioso rap.”

Expect a wide range of regional Mexican music during one of Ortíz’ live performances, including dance-oriented cumbias, ballads in the brass-based Banda style, folk-flavored mariachi tunes and even the tropical sounds of Bachata—the multiple award-winner and

Grammy nominee has been heavily influenced by the artistry of Bob Marley. Spiking it all with a dose of danger makes Ortíz one potent musical blast. –Steve Bornfeld

Making Things Disappear Not only is America’s Got Talent winner Mat Franco a world-class magician, he’s one of the most personable people you’d want to meet, self-effacing and funny. He heavily involves his audiences in his shows and even changes a key part of his show each night—hence the title, Magic Reinvented Nightly.

Franco’s careful to include nods to some of the most famous sleight-of-hand magic acts in history, making cards appear from seemingly nowhere and making tissue paper balls “disappear” while a hapless audience member

cannot see what the rest of the crowd can, all while mixing in some of the illusions he used on America’s Got Talent.

Franco draws heavily on his childhood in telling the story of his rise to fame. Yes, Franco confounds his audience, but as he himself says, guessing the trick isn’t the point—it’s the connection you feel to the performer. Franco achieves that handily. –Ken Miller The Linq Hotel, 7 p.m. Sun.-Tues. & Thurs.Fri., 4 & 7 p.m. Sat., $39-$99 VIP plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782

My Sherry Amour If you celebrate Valentine’s Day at F. Pigalle, the fondue restaurant on Fremont Street (702.550.4797), you’re in for a treat. Not only do the fondues come with an assortment of bread, veggies and meat (you can get chocolate dessert fondues, too!), but you also get unlimited wine served in baby bottles. If you’d rather have a cocktail, My Sherry Amour is a tasty answer, with Noilly Prat Ambre vermouth, Lustau oloroso sherry, Fernet-Branca, vanilla-bay leaf syrup, blackberries, fresh lemon and Angostura bitters.

Garden Fare With a Twist Amongst the decadent offerings on Crush’s menu, you’ll find the roasted cauliflower—a visual kaleidoscope of both the white and purple varieties combined with a seamless melding of chili, garlic and mint. The octopus ceviche combines acidity with spice with grapefruit chunks and pickled jalapenos. A little heavier are the ricotta gnocchi—light potato pasta presented atop a pea purée and layered with shredded braised short ribs. And an interesting play on a breakfast fave is available for dinner in the form of a sea scallop benny. A sunny-side up quail egg sits perched upon the scallop and chorizo atop a smoky chipotle hollandaise. Entrée selections include a gorgeous grilled salmon with oyster mushrooms in a carrot miso broth.

Don’t overlook Crush’s intriguing and diverse beer selection, where American microbrews mingle with unique European offerings. Crush has assembled a unique group of cocktails,

More Than Just a Bag of Tricks Entertainment, shake hands with subversion. Each shares the spotlight when Penn & Teller—i.e., tall, talkative Penn Jillette and diminutive, wordless Teller (no surname, thank you)—take the stage for a show that’s a brand-name recipe for magical goodness around the globe. Expect nothing as simple as mere abracadabra. Instead, expect World Series-level illusions—dazzling fastballs and mystifying off-speed pitches. Watch as Teller escapes from a helium-filled trash bag—without letting the gas do likewise. Witness an audience member ushered onstage to vanish in a flash of light, replaced by Teller.

Yet it’s when they expose fakery (with a joke book gag) and make points about personal liberty (a tutorial on fooling airport metal detectors involving bits of metal and the Bill of Rights) that they apply their style-meets-substance trademark. And whatever side of the gun control debate you’re on, you’ll be riveted by the signature “bullet catch.” –Steve Bornfeld

The sea scallops are incredibly tender, relatively unusual but beautifully bright. Best of all might be the handcrafted gnocchi with pulled chicken breast and toasted pine nuts in a creamy pesto. –Jim Begley

Dancing and Dreaming Bibbidi, Bobbidi Boo—put them together and what have you got? Cinderella and Prince Charming, too.

While the song isn’t actually part of the original ballet score by composer Sergei Prokofiev, it does set the mood for this wondrous fairy tale based on a 1697 story

by French author Charles Perrault.

The delightful story of love and magic is being brought to the stage by the Nevada Ballet Theatre with new and original choreography by artistic director James Canfield and ballet mistress Tara Foy. The

Bolshoi Theatre actually premiered the original Cinderella ballet in 1945.

Everything you would expect in Cinderella is here in the romantic and enduring fairy tale, perfect for the Valentine’s Day weekend or any other time. The wicked stepsister, evil stepmother and fairy godmother are all part of the presentation.

The full-length ballet features beautiful costumes and sets, with opulent visuals and numerous outstanding props including Cinderella’s famous horse-drawn carriage. –Penny Levin

Doing the Unthinkable Asked about the most outrageous moment from his show, hypnotist Anthony Cools pulls out his cell phone and shows a video of an older woman, about 65, kneeling in front of a chair and miming oral sex.

That’s not what’s outrageous; convincing audience volunteers to perform sex acts with chairs is a staple of Cools’ show. What’s outrageous is what happens next: The woman calmly takes out her false teeth before returning to the task at hand.

“The audience lost their minds,” Cools says.

For Cools, hypnosis is all about entertaining. “I like to think that I’m a pretty funny guy, and I use the hypnosis to sort of support the comedy aspect of the show,” he says.

Although he’s never been interested in stand-up, he’s dedicated to making sure the audience has fun.

“You want to quit smoking, go see a qualified hypnotherapist,” he says. “You want to get entertained, go see a stage hypnotist.” –Josh Bell

Sailing In

Singer created a new wave in adult contemporary The year 1980 saw adult contemporary battling new wave and disco for top ten domination. Only one new adult contemporary artist, Christopher Cross, emerged in a year that started out with Rupert Holmes’ “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” at the top of the charts, followed by softhit No. 1s from Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, Dan Fogelberg, Bette Midler and Olivia NewtonJohn. Cross scored a No. 2 hit early in the year (kept from the top spot by Blondie’s “Call Me”) with urgent mid-tempo single “Ride Like the Wind” from his self-titled debut album.

That song featured the familiar background vocal of Michael McDonald, but Cross’ hypnotic

40 2.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

“Sailing” would be his first No. 1, becoming the most played song in the country as August gave way to September. Cross, an Austin-based musician by way of San Antonio, won five Grammys in 1981 and earned another No. 1 that year (and an Oscar in 1982) with the theme from Dudley Moore comedy Arthur. But as Cross would find out, winning Best New Artist and Song of the Year (for “Sailing”) does not guarantee repeat returns to the top ten or lifetime record contract.

And, of course, monster radio hits that help define a moment in time can lead to a lifetime as a live act. Cross hit big the same year that Ronald Reagan and the U.S. hockey team were

triumphant, and people were ready to leave the ’70s behind. Adult contemporary reflected listener tastes circa 1980 more than the influence of programming consultants, and Cross’s music provided an escape of a different kind. While Cross’s low-key style didn’t continue to flourish in an increasingly image-conscious decade, Cross has been active in recent years with 2014 album Secret Ladder and has a PBS special in the can that was filmed during a Jan. 20 concert in Austin with McDonald, Mike Love and Eric Johnson. –Matt Kelemen Golden Nugget, 8 p.m. Feb. 13, starting at $39 plus tax and fee. 866.946.5336

Downtown lounge unveils new menu of artsy cocktails Spend the late afternoon or evening sipping cocktails, relaxing or conversing with friends in an eclectic environment in Las Vegas’ hip, downtown area. Art Bar, inside the Downtown Grand, recently released a new cocktail menu that draws inspiration from the bar’s interior design— an intimate space filled with reproductions of fine-art masterpieces that line the ceiling as well as local artist’s paintings that hang on walls.

The new menu features cleverly named cocktails, made with unique ingredient combinations, as well as the spirit absinthe, which would traditionally be served using a container with a drip spigot and flat slotted spoon.

While taking in the sights of Third Street through Art Bar’s floor-to-ceiling windows, settle

42 2.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

into one of the oversized lounge chairs, or take a seat at the bar and start your cocktail adventure with The Green Muse, a sweet and sour mix of Skyy Strawberry vodka and Mother’s Sour Apple schnapps briefly smoked with applewood, served over a house-made sour apple ice sphere. Beer lovers can try the Starry Night, something a little different, and with a kick. Slightly reminiscent of a Bloody Mary, the cocktail combines Stella Artois beer and michelada mix and is capped off with a seasoned, salted rim.

Those cocktail lovers who want something more familiar in ingredients can enjoy the Pearl Earring, a mix of Malibu rum, Myers rum, vanillainfused orange juice and pomegranate syrup.

Sweet and satisfying.

If absinthe is your target, start off with the Green Fairy, a shaken-to-a-froth mixture of absinthe, bitters, eggs, lemon and water. If you crave the absinthe but want a cocktail with a slightly sweeter taste, order the Burning Giraffe.

The cocktail glass is rinsed in absinthe (meaning slightly coated) and filled with a mix of brandy, bénédictine and sweetened Peychaud’s bitters, then briefly smoked with applewood.

Art Bar’s new cocktail menu features other sweet, smooth and interesting concoctions, as well as red and white wine selections, so feel free to continue your adventure in imbibing well into the evening. –Kiko Miyasato Downtown Grand, 3-11 p.m. daily.

Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar delivers a decadent experience

Osso buco

nosh cheers

A rose on every table, a dimly lit dining room filled with guests dressed to the nines, engaging intimate conversations, exceptional wait staff attentive to diners' every request, mellow jazz music filling the room like it’s a lover’s paradise. This doesn’t just paint the picture here on Valentine’s Day; it’s the scene year-round at Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar. Whether for a first date, wedding anniversary or just a few friends having a nice meal out, the family-owned eatery headed up by Gino Ferraro and wife Rosalba has been creating memories for Italian food aficionados for more than three decades.

Before you look at the menu, scan the extensive list of more than 12,000 wines from all over the world, 900 of which are Italian. Eighteen are offered by the glass, including the crisp, fruity 2012 Abbazia di Novacella Kerner white wine and the 2012 Tormaresca Torcicoda Primitivo, a full-bodied red zinfandel. Although you might feel overwhelmed, don’t be—the friendly staff is more than willing to offer advice.

One or two bread baskets of fresh-baked rosemary focaccia bread and housemade rolls will do just fine; don’t get too full, because you’ll want to order a starter—perhaps the grilled spicy sausage or fresh Italian-imported bufala mozzarella and 24-month aged San Danielle prosciutto. Find delight in a salad with heirloom tomatoes, avocado, red onions, fresh mozzarella cheese and balsamic vinaigrette or the light sweet potato soup with roasted chestnuts.

The osso buco, a fall-off-the-bone succulent veal shank, stars in this house. A specialty since the restaurant opened more than 30 years ago, the osso buco is lightly braised in a red wine reduction. Although you can order osso buco at many Italian restaurants, Ferraro’s version of the Milanese dish is decadent, simply melting in the mouth. A more exotic meat would be the coniglio brasato, braised farm-raised rabbit with sautéed spinach. It’s also a longtime specialty entrée—if you’ve never had it, it has somewhat of a turkey-like texture, yet a bit moister.

House-made pastas round out the menu, including raviolini di ricotta, house-made small ravioli with sheep’s milk ricotta, zucchini and guanciale, and gnocchi pomodoro, potato dumplings tossed in fresh tomato sauce, basil and olive oil. Another favorite pasta is the pappardelle Mimmo, wide ribbons of pasta with

Tiramisu

scallops, lobster, asparagus, butter, sage and truffle oil.

Even if you feel full after this munificence, you’ll still want to try one of Ferraro’s decadent desserts. Satisfy your sweet tooth with the pistachio passion—a rich walnut-crusted dessert layered with pistachio cream and cream cheese custard, drizzled with chocolate sauce around the edges. A traditional favorite, you can’t go

wrong with tiramisu either, the light, ladyfingered espresso dessert that is oh-so-famous in the Italian cuisine.

Special for Valentine’s Day only, Ferraro’s is offering all couples a complimentary rose and a special four-course prix-fixe dinner starring lobster ravioli or veal ravioli and filet mignon. It’s is available for $75 per person, and you can also choose from the daily menu as well.

It’s all for the love of spirits for this mixologist No one, perhaps, geeks out more over spirits and mixology than Monte Carlo beverage manager and mixologist Philip Dow. “I want to teach about alcohol and I want to play with drinks every day; that’s what I’ve always wanted to do. And, Vegas really is a place that gives me an opportunity to do that.”

For three years, the Miami native has worked on the beverage program, fine-tuning the cocktail offerings at the property’s restaurants and bars. “What we’re about is providing that craft experience, not cutting corners when it comes to quality, and also making sure our staff is trained well in technique,” he explained. “It’s really giving each one of our outlets a specific identity. Specialty beers go to The Pub. Expanding the whiskey list to 108 labels at Hit Lounge. Brand lounge, it’s about scotch and cognac. Ignite really focuses on rum, and Diablo’s focus is on tequila.”

46 2.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

To some, the task of planning that many cocktail menus might seem overwhelming. But for Dow, it’s just the opposite. “It’s my playtime,” he said. “It’s my fun.”

This week, Dow gets to have even more fun in the art of cocktailing—he’s serving as one of the mixologists for the third annual For the Love of Cocktails event, Feb. 10-12. Part event, part fundraiser, For the Love of Cocktails invites thousands of mixologists from across the nation to celebrate in the shared love of cocktails.

The event ends with a Grand Gala, and Dow will be there, whipping up around 1,000 glasses of his own specialty cocktail, Straight Bananas.

“It’s a chance for mixologists to come out and showcase something fun, unique, and tell a little bit about who we are, in a glass,” he said.

“I love spirits. I love their backstories, it’s like history in a glass. I guess I really am just a big nerd,” he said, with a big smile. –Kiko Miyasato

Each mixologist participating in For the Love of Cocktails Grand Gala was assigned a spirit and asked to create a cocktail implementing that spirit. Dow was given Knob Creek bourbon. “I was inspired by food, and, for me, one of the things that is a comfort food, and is a little extravagant, is bananas Foster,” Dow said. “So, I made a slightly deconstructed bananas Foster.” Dow mixes Knob Creek with orgeat syrup, lemon juice and a house-made whipped bananas Foster ice cream base. The base, dispensed through an aerating canister called a “whipper,” tops off the drink. It’s garnished with a dusting of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Taste this and other cocktails at the Grand Gala. Visit fortheloveofcocktails.com for more info. –KM

Michael Chow shares the philosophy behind his eponymous, famous culinary empire

By KIKO MIYASATO Photos by CHRISTOPHER DEVARGAS Grooming by SARAH REDZIKOWSKI For Michael Chow, food is history. It’s tradition and it’s family. It’s entertainment. It’s art, and it should be celebrated. Creating the space for people to dine equals more than a restaurant—it’s a foundation for a way of thinking, experiencing and enjoying a way of life. For Chow, food equals life. As the owner and founder of Mr. Chow, one of the world’s most recognized and revered monikers in Chinese cuisine, he continues his culinary lifeline with the recent opening of his seventh location at Caesars Palace.

50 2.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

LasVegasMagazine.com 2.7.16

51

Since establishing the first location in London in 1968, the Mr. Chow brand has expanded to the U.S., with two restaurants in New York and ones in Miami Beach, Beverly Hills and Malibu. But for the man behind the name on each restaurant, he brought more than just traditional Beijing cuisine to Western palates; he brought history.

“First of all, the intention of Mr. Chow is really not to do with business. (It’s) more to do with my personal, internal desire and need to fulfill or to recapture my country, my parents,” Chow explains.

“To me, China has always been the greatest country in the world. So my journey of life is expressed through the cuisine of China. To show respect, how great Chinese cuisine, Chinese culture, Chinese people are.

“When I first opened Mr. Chow, the beginning of that I was very much motivated not as a business but as a culture exchange. And, so, I was a self-appointed ambassador. To me, Chinese cuisine is the greatest on the planet, historically speaking. It’s very sophisticated cuisine.

So with this passion, this need, this desire to fulfill that dream, this has been a great expectation, and I’m very humble and grateful that I’ve succeeded in that, to make Chinese cuisine, Chinese culture, recognized in the West.”

Talking with Chow, you quickly uncover the passion, the yearning he has to take such an everyday topic as food and turn it into a topic that feeds the soul, so to speak. And with the opening of the Caesars Palace location, you get a glimpse into what one could call the philosophy—the principles, the truths— behind a Mr. Chow restaurant.

“The restaurant, from my point of view, is more like a play, a musical, a convention and tradition and structure which is set by tradition,” he says. “And then it’s by interpretation that everything in the restaurant is very much like theater. Theater golden rule: Don’t bore the audience. So in order to do that I need to (make sure) every aspect, every

52 2.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

detail is as true as possible, and then when all the details become perfect, when you put all combinations together for the restaurant god, the restaurant god will reward you this powerful thing.

This restaurant—it’s a way of life, a way of thinking, a way of philosophy.”

For 48 years Chow has practiced this same way of thinking. He’s sought and found certain details and used those details for inspiration, for guidance in creating each of his restaurants. Everything inside a Mr. Chow restaurant—from chair to table, from serving to cooking and

Caesars Palace 5-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 5-10:30 p.m.

Fri.-Sat. 702.731.7888

every action of the staff—has a detailed intent behind it. “Inspiration comes from trying to seek the truth in every detail of the universe. Take a fork, it’s faced downward, and we decided to do that from tradition,” he explains. “Many years ago in England, the fork was laid (facing

downward) because someone poked it and it blinded someone, so therefore English fork tradition is facedown. So once you find that detail in the universe, never let it go. (I’ve used) this detail for 48 years. In other words, if you find a detail, be true to it.”

Depending on what city he opens a restaurant in, he draws on the inspirations of that city. And just like the aesthetics of Las Vegas—the fantasy, the over the top, the theater of it all—Chow has implemented it into this restaurant.

“This restaurant, like all the Mr. Chows, has a special side to it,” he says.

“This environment is white on white, a Mr. Chow tradition. Very romantic. This is fantasy, this is poetry, this is theater, excitement. I was given a 60-foot dome, with 35-foot ceiling, so I created this kinetic sculpture.” It’s named The Moon, a 26-foot moveable disc that changes colors and light. Throughout the evening it will entertain. “It will perform, like the Bellagio fountains,” Chow says.

“So the environment (of the restaurant) is one entertainment out of the next,” says Chow, as he goes on to explain more of the entertainment guests will enjoy. “Entertainment in terms of the restaurant’s traditions, there’s six things. One is the dessert trolley. One of the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen. The other is the champagne trolley; we even have Dom Perignon by the glass. The other is the noodle show. The other is carving the Beijing duck. The other is deboning fresh Dover sole, and then the wine decanter.”

Chow says he’s waited more than two decades to bring his restaurant to Las Vegas. It was never quite the right time, or the right fit, but he now feels the timing is perfect—the universe cleared the way for him to bring not only his noteworthy Chinese cuisine, but his way of inviting guests inside his eclectic, fantastic, philosophical world.

“It’s all meant to be, at the end of the day, to open and see that it’s the right choice—although I waited over 20 years to do it—it’s a happy ending,” he says.

“The reason for that is that Caesars is the foundation of Vegas, from my point of view. So the match, Mr. Chow has been around a long time, Caesars has been around a long time. I think it’s a perfect fit.”

Whether spending it single, coupled up or married, there’s plenty of ways to show your love in Las Vegas. Make this Valentine’s Day—or weekend—one to remember with these nine options.

The R&B songstress spreads extra love on Valentine’s Day, ”lambly” love, that is (a phrase used to describe her devoted fans).

On Feb. 14, see the diva in concert with VIP perks including a front orchestra ticket to her 8 p.m. show, unlimited champagne and passed hors d’oeuvres from 10 p.m.midnight at Fizz (next to The Colosseum) and a meet and greet with the star. (Caesars Palace, 866.320.9763)

The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art’s current exhibit, Picasso: Creatures and Creativity, runs through Feb. 14. But before that you

54 2.7.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

can turn your art gallery trip into a date night with the gallery’s monthly Art & Wine: A Perfect Paring event on Feb. 10 from 5-7 p.m., a night filled with engaging art discussions and tempting libations. (Bellagio, 702.693.7871)

Zumanity is one of those racy, yet entertaining shows that can be enjoyed by both singles and couples. With provocative cabaret scenes, jaw-dropping acrobatic sets and an onstage mock orgy in the finale, Zumanity entices the mind, body and soul for two hours and beyond. Reserve the duo sofas (which are sold as a pair); by being so close, you might become part of the show.

(New York-New York, 702.740.6815)

Besides the Candyland-themed event on Feb. 13, Ghostbar Dayclub offers plenty of VIP experiences like the Put A Ring On It package. You and your significant other can enjoy a two-night stay in a Sky Villa, a private dinner for 10 guests at N9NE Steakhouse, 10 bottles of Cristal, a marriage ceremony on the Ghostbar patio, your marriage announcement in bright lights on the outdoor marquee and a social media butler to capture the whole thing. (Palms, 702.942.6832)

Beyoncé’s famed song with her hubby Jay-Z makes it onto Cabo Wabo Cantina’s cocktail menu, but only for Valentine’s Day. On Feb.

14, sip on a glass (or two) of the specialty drink “Drunk in Love,” a concoction of the French liqueur St-Germain, ginger beer, lime juice, Monin Wildberry syrup and champagne with a garnish of strawberries and Amarena cherries. (Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort, 702.385.2226)

At Jean Philippe Pâtisserie, choose from a selection of decadent treats like fresh crêpes, coconut macarons, peanut brittle, chocolate turtles, chocolate-covered marshmallows, chocolate cognac truffles, mini chocolate bars, biscotti, fruit pound cake, an assortment of cookies and so much more. (Aria, 877.230.2742)

On Feb. 13, some of the performers include Midnight Star (“Freak-A-Zoid”), The Emotions (“Best of My Love”), Heatwave (“Boogie Nights”), Evelyn “Champagne” King (“Love Come Down”) and Color Me Badd (“I Wanna Sex You Up”).

Hello, Goodbye

Black Sabbath (Mandalay Bay, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster) may be in the midst of its farewell tour (ominously dubbed “The End”), but fans of the legendary heavy metal band shouldn’t worry that they won’t have the chance to see their favorite act one last time.

Sabbath’s goodbye is so long that this week’s tour stop on Feb. 13 is just the first of two, and the next isn’t for another seven months. Still,

for anyone who’s always wanted to see Ozzy Osbourne, pictured, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler performing their classic songs live, now is probably the time to get those tickets.

And the list of Sabbath classics is long; during the period of less than 10 years when the original lineup was together, they produced iconic metal songs like “Paranoid,” “Iron Man,” “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,” “War Pigs,” “N.I.B.”

Entertainment Dining Nightlife Gaming Shopping Attractions Marketplace Resources Out & About

and many more. Their songs have been covered by nearly every hard rock band in existence, and there is perhaps no other act as influential in the world of heavy music. They’ve reunited intermittently since 1997, even releasing a new album in 2013, but all good things must come to an end. At least Black Sabbath’s end will have plenty of time to showcase all those good things before finally winding down. –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.

Mariah Carey isn’t going to let her engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer cut down on her work. She’s returned for the second year of her residency and has confirmed the first set of 18 dates starting June 7 and ending Sept.

11 at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace. Tickets are on sale for June 7-25, Aug. 24-31 and Sept. 3-11. Meanwhile, Carey plays through Feb. 20 wearing a huge, stunning, nearly blinding 35-carat diamond-and-platinum engagement ring.

WhoWhatWhere Ja Rule and Prince Royce joined Jennifer Lopez onstage for her resident show All I Have at Axis at Planet Hollywood. The group afterward feasted on celebrity chef Steve Martorano’s meatballs, Philly cheesesteak and salads in Martorano’s at Paris Las Vegas.

Last Comic Standing

Season 5 contestant Doug Benson attended Absinthe at Caesars Palace and met with The Gazillionaire and assistant Joy Jenkins after the show. Pawn Stars reality-TV king Rick Harrison took part in a levitation for Planet Hollywood Resort headliner magician Murray Sawchuck at Pawn

Plaza. TruTV’s Impractical Jokers star Joe Gatto attended Mat Franco: Magic Reinvented Nightly at The Linq.

John Travolta and his family enjoyed a signature sundae at Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace. Adult entertainers Mia Lelani and London Keyes hosted at Tao at The Venetian.

Ticket demand was so strong for John Fogerty’s Fortunate Son in Concert run at The Venetian that he’s agreed to return for nine dates from Sept. 14-Oct. 1. “It was the greatest rockin’ Las Vegas,” said Fogerty. “I’m overwhelmed and so grateful at the response that we are going to bring the show back in September to shake things up a little more.”

Fogerty earlier told me that he hoped the run would be a big success and he’d be invited back. His wish has come true!

After a 14-city European tour, actor, author and 6’4” model RuPaul will bring the world’s largest touring drag revue to Pearl at the Palms on April 29. Michelle Visage will host again with an all-star cast of winners and fan favorites from each season of the hit Logo series RuPaul’s Drag Race, including Adore Delano, Courtney Act, Ginger Minj and Violet Chachki. Visage promises that this year’s touring show in its third consecutive year will be “bigger and badder” than ever.

Human Nature returns to The Venetian with Jukebox in March Human Nature brothers Andrew and Mike Tierney tell me that they’ve set a March 29 premiere for their new resident show Jukebox, which has a three-year deal at their most recent resident home, The Venetian. They tell me that this will mark their seventh year in America. Their Motown show at The Venetian debuted in 2013 after debuting at the then Imperial Palace. The four Australians, who also include Toby Allen and Phil Burton, told me that they’re currently developing Jukebox, which they will test on road dates in early March before final dress rehearsals and scenic additions at The Venetian, with mid-March

previews. Said Andrew at the recent Olivia Newton-John Nevada Ballet Theatre tribute at Wynn Las Vegas, where Human Nature performed: “We are incredibly excited to do this brand new show. It keeps us here for at least another three years, and all of us love Las Vegas so much. It’s a new creative challenge and gives us a whole new electric charge. Until now, we’ve always been Motown, but this gives us an opportunity to really go into the other great hits of the past decades. It comes from our new album Jukebox that has gone platinum in Australia and will now be released here in time with the new Venetian shows.”
