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 Never say never

A few years ago for health reasons, I made the decision to eat sensibly, cutting out processed sugars, soda and bread. It worked—I lost 35 pounds and have managed to maintain my present weight ever since. But one thing about my diet has not changed: Meat. I love meat, and I’m unapologetic about it. Although I’ve significantly upped my fruit and vegetable intake, my definition of the perfect meal is still a bourbon and a medium-rare steak. I admire the vegetarian lifestyle, but don’t imagine I could ever do it. However, there’s a revolution taking place on the Las Vegas Strip that has me imagining a world without red meat, chicken or even fish: More and more restaurants are embracing not only the vegetarian side of the menu, they’re partnering with local producers to serve up some of the most amazing farm-to-table dishes you could imagine. In this issue, Steve Bornfeld profiles the recently opened Harvest by Roy Ellamar at Bellagio, a shining example of what’s possible in this movement. Ellamar sources much of his menu from not only Las Vegas-based farms, but also ones in Pahrump and Boulder City. How is it working out? During a recent meal there, I actually said to my dining companion, “If vegetables could always be prepared like this, I think I could cut out meat.” That’s a sentence I never imagined myself uttering. Take a visit to Harvest and see for yourself. The revolution may not be televised, but it certainly can be delicious.

Johnny Rivers

Rock ’n’ roll legend back for Vegas gig Johnny Rivers played Las Vegas before he made the big time as the first rock ’n’ roller headlining the Sunset Strip, but between his first show at The Thunderbird Hotel and his engagement at the Golden Nugget on Feb. 26, his story intertwined with pop music history. Known primarily as the singer of a string of ’60s and ’70s hits beginning with his cover of Chuck Berry’s “Memphis,” Rivers has never stopped recording and touring with the energy that led him out of Baton Rouge and drove him to success. He recently spoke to Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen. A few months ago, I saw the documentary on The Wrecking Crew, and they talked about how you were one of the first people a few members of the Wrecking Crew had played for, and … No, that was not completely accurate. First off, the group that I played with—which was Joe Osborn, Larry Knechtel and Hal Blaine—was not called The Wrecking Crew. The Wrecking Crew was prior to that with (guitarist) Tommy Tedesco, Carol Kaye on bass and Hal Blaine on drums, but that was not the group I worked with. Joe Osborn was my bass player, and he joined those guys. That actually was the first time Joe, Larry and Hal came together—my session for “Mountain Of Love.” They became known as “The Hollywood Golden Trio.” Yeah, it was called “The Big Three” or something. Hal, Joe and Larry. I used them on my record, then Lou Adler used them on the Mamas and the Papas and Barry McGuire’s “Eve of Destruction,” and on from there. Bones Howe, who was our engineer and produced The Association, he used them on that. Then everybody used them. They started working with Simon and Garfunkel.

The movie introduced me to the pivotal roles you played in many aspects of music history. One of the important things was when I opened Whiskey a Go Go—and prior to that the original Gazzarri’s, which was a small little restaurant on La Cienega in ’63—no one was playing rock ’n’ roll in LA. There was nothing happening. So basically I brought South Louisiana blues and rock ’n’ roll, Chuck Berry rock ’n’ roll, to the Sunset Strip and got the whole thing started. What kind of people did you see out in the audience? Even opening night there was people like Jayne Mansfield and Gina Lollobrigida, Cary Grant, people like that. Steve McQueen. Steve McQueen wrote the liner notes on my third album, and the back of the album. He and I became friends, and I’d ride motorcycles with him. When did you first play Vegas? I played Vegas way before the Gazzarri’s thing, like about ’62. I played Vegas with a little twist kind of band at the Thunderbird Hotel from midnight until 6 in the morning. I was switching off with Dinah Washington, and Louis Prima was playing next door at the Sahara, so I’d go over and see him. Later on, I played a place in

New Orleans called The Dream Room on Bourbon Street and Louis came in there. He knew the two guys that owned that club down there, and got me a gig at the Sahara in Lake Tahoe. Louis was kind of an influence. I liked his showmanship. I learned a lot watching him onstage interacting with the audience. I also read that you had a run at the Riviera. We played there about a week or two with Nancy Wilson. We broke

their all-time record. At that time I was the first rock ’n’ roll act to ever play Vegas. Prior to that it was Paul Anka, Bobby Darin, guys like that. It worked: I opened the show, had charts and stuff like that, put on a tuxedo. People liked it, because I had several hit records, and Nancy was, of course, a great jazz singer. After that I went to the opening at the Sands when Frank Sinatra recorded that live (Sinatra At the Sands) album with Count Basie and Quincy Jones conducting.

You know that saying, “The house always wins”? Well, consider this: In the last 27 Super Bowls, Nevada sports books turned a profit 25 times. In the case of Super Bowl 50, they cleared approximately $7 million.

Move It!

In Las Vegas, spring springs earlier than in other locales, and that means pleasant weather for all sorts of outdoor activities, such as the Tropicolor Color Run this week downtown. The Feb. 27 5K run starts at 650 Fremont St. at 8 a.m., with pre-run party action. Typically, Color Run fun includes family, friends, tutus and running shoes, with added elements such as palm trees, faux beaches and color throws every kilometer. The runs also benefit charities, with Three Square food bank as the recipient in Las Vegas. Go to thecolorrun.com to sign up. Tickets start at $39.99.

A Dinner to Remember Fans of great food and wine will want to take advantage of an upcoming wine-pairing dinner at José Andrés’ Bazaar Meat at SLS Las Vegas. The meal includes a wide variety of dishes served with vintages from wineries such as Spain’s Vega Sicilia and Hungary’s Oremus. The menu from executive chef David Thomas is a culinary journey you’ll never forget— chicken-béchamel fritters, beefsteak tomato tartare, beef and Parmesan grissini, fried oxtail steamed buns and grilled octopus are just some of the highlights. Tickets are $300 per person; to reserve your spot, call 702.761.7610.

Over its 34-year history, Jubilee, which recently closed at Bally’s went through 8,000 miles of sequins. As popular as the Super Bowl is in Las Vegas, New Year’s Eve is more popular. While approximately 300,000 people visited for the Big Game, 340,000 came to town for NYE. The band playing in the high school dance scene in Grease, which stars Strip headliner Olivia Newton-John, was Sha Na Na, but their name in the movie was Johnny Casino and the Gamblers.

One Tequila, Two Tequila

Celebrate the classic Mexican cocktail on Feb. 22 Pass the lime and salt … it’s National Margarita Day, Feb. 22, and several spots around town are ready to help you celebrate. For a modern take on the margarita, try the Aura at Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian—a blend of Partida blanco tequila, lime juice, house-made sweet bell pepper shrub and Scrappy’s firewater bitters. For something sweeter, Morels French Steakhouse and Bistro at The Palazzo offers the Blueberry Margarita, a mix of Patron Silver, blueberry liqueur, Patron Citronge orange liqueur, lime juice and agave nectar. Sammy Hagar knows his tequila, and his Stripside restaurant inside Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort is serving up specials all day long. At Cabo Wabo Cantina imbibe on $5 frozen margaritas in 14-ounce souvenir cups. At T&T Tacos and Tequila at Luxor, purchase one house margarita, Instagram yourself drinking it (just tag T&T with the handle @tacosandtequila) and you’ll get another house margarita free (Feb. 22 only)! For other tasty margaritas, check out Cadillac Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar at Golden Nugget, Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace, El Segundo Sol at Fashion Show, Diablo’s Cantina at Monte Carlo and Tequila Taqueria at Bally’s. –Kiko Miyasato

Jam On When members of the Grateful Dead go on tour with “friends,” they don’t mean buddies from around the neighborhood. The members of the pioneering jam band have performed with some of the biggest names in music history, and Dead bassist Phil Lesh’s band Phil Lesh and Friends has featured the likes of The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Phish’s Trey Anastasio and singer-songwriter Ryan Adams in its rotating lineup over the years. The latest incarnation of Phil Lesh and Friends is playing three nights at Brooklyn Bowl, and in the jam-band tradition they’ll be performing an ever-changing set list including Dead songs, rock covers and lots of improvisation. Lesh’s Friends on this tour include longtime Dead collaborator John Kadlecik, jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan, multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby, veteran session drummer John Molo and Boyd Tinsley of the Dave Matthews Band. With friends like these, Lesh is always in the best musical company. –Josh Bell

their trade—contortionists balancing on small pads, an energetic fire act and a human torch who doesn’t even seem to notice the flames. Colorfully garbed characters, such as the queen, float in the background. And the show’s celebrated swimmers play fanciful creatures teeming in the water. Our volunteer watches and waits and joins in, till from a floating basket the red curtain unfurls and he leaves, like us, a witness to the magnificence of “O.” –Nina King

Livin’ It Up Queens-born rapper Ja Rule was featured on Jay-Z’s 1998 hit “Can I Get A...” A year later, he became a breakout success with “Holla Holla” from debut album Venni Vetti Vecci. He followed it up with Rule 3:36, Pain Is Love and R.U.L.E., and hits like “Between Me and You” with Christina Milian and “I’m Real (Murder Remix)” with Jennifer Lopez. In 2015, he starred in reality show Follow the Rules; in 2016, he’ll release his ninth album. On Feb. 29 he turns 40, and Foxtail nightclub is throwing him a pre-birthday bash— Vegas-style—to celebrate. –Chanelle Hayes SLS Las Vegas, 10:30 p.m. Feb. 27, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.761.7619

A World of Metal Of the so-called “big four” bands of thrash metal that got their start in the early 1980s (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax), Megadeth is possibly the most consistently active, with frequent touring and a steady stream of new material. Although the band’s lineup has always varied, founder and mastermind Dave Mustaine has maintained the Megadeth sound while also working with new collaborators. That includes Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro and drummer Chris Adler of Lamb of God, who round out the band’s current lineup. They join longtime bassist Dave Ellefson, who cofounded the band with Mustaine in 1983, after Mustaine left Metallica. Loureiro and Adler both played on Megadeth’s latest album Dystopia, bringing a new level of energy to Mustaine’s typically intense, passionate songs (Loureiro even co-wrote three of the album’s tracks). More than three decades into Megadeth’s career, Dystopia debuted at No. 3 on the Bill-

board album charts, their second-highest chart position ever. Megadeth’s highest-charting album, 1992’s Countdown to Extinction, source of hits like “Symphony of Destruction” and

“Sweating Bullets,” should be well-represented in the band’s show, alongside new songs and decades of material from a band that never stops pushing forward. –Josh Bell

It’s Piff’s World, We Just Live In It You might not even think he stands out in a crowd—just another green (with bursts of red and gold), grumpy, scaly creature walking his Chihuahua on the Strip. And yet …“There’s nothing women in Las Vegas love more than a magic dragon,” says John van der Put—Piff the Magic Dragon to you—as Angela Stabile, co-producer of his headliner gig, can affirm. “He gets proposals all the time,” she says with a touch of amazement. Piff clarifies: “It’s the joy I exude.” Perhaps it’s the joy of dyspepsia. At least onstage. Anyone who’s seen the London-born,

dragon-costumed comedian/magician knows his personality is built on a foundation of dour, deadpan ’tude. “Here, hold him,” he tells an audience member as he hands over his Chihuahua sidekick, an 8-year-old trifle named Mr. Piffles, clad in its own dragon outfit. “If he gives you trouble, just punch him in the face.” He blends crowd riffing and audience-assisted magic into a weird entertainment brew. –Steve Bornfeld Flamingo, 8 p.m. Mon.-Wed., $49.95-$69.95 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.733.3333

Red Velvet Pie Certain dishes simply scream decadence, such as the new red velvet pie at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab at The Forum Shops at Caesars. The scratch-made twist on red velvet cake is layered with and topped by mascarpone cream cheese, with berry coulis adding even more richness. If you need a base from which to start your descent into dessert, also new at Joe’s are a striped bass with smoked tomato sauce and a gorgeous octopus salad (with the main ingredient sourced from Canary Islands).

The Way He Makes Us Feel

Embodying the creative mind and music of the King of Pop In Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE, four “misfits” personify aspects of Michael Jackson’s character (Clumsy, Shy, Smarty Pants and Sneaky). When the misfits are pulled into “The Vortex,” time goes haywire and bungee acrobats bounce with the controlled chaos. Once media mash-up machine Mephisto is established as the antagonist, the King of Pop’s four positive actions—hope, comfort, dream, believe—are subsequently manifested through physical, visual and sonic expression. This inner universe becomes emotionally affecting during “Stranger in Moscow,” with Jackson’s chill-inducing “How does it feel” hook taking the show in a melancholy direction. That mood continues with a medley of “I’ll Be There,”

32 2.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

“Human Nature” and “Never Can Say Goodbye.” There are more poignant moments ahead, such as sequences tailored to “Smile” and “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.” But there’s no shortage of excitement either. Shy’s turn fighting off Mephisto with a martial arts staff and wushu expertise during “Jam” spins the stage into action. Add in gravity-defying acrobatics on slacklines and trampolines, stunning sound design, fantastical combinations of choreography and special effects—from the LED-laden “Billie Jean” warriors to an ingenious sequence using silhouettes—and an inspirational sequence by one-legged dancer Jean Sok (to “Can You Feel It”), and you have one thriller of a Vegas experience. –Matt Kelemen

Getting Between the Covers We went in as Fifty Shades virgins. But what we left as was so much more, oh, so much more... In 50 Shades! The Parody, the novel’s characters come to life in the minds of three average book club members. Downtrodden Anastasia Steele, portrayed by Maren Wade (well-known in Las Vegas entertainment from starring in various productions, including Vegas! The Show at Planet Hollywood Resort), expresses her feelings with the song, “There Is a Hole Inside of Me,” and in enigmatic Christian Grey, she just may have found something big enough to fill that hole. Christian explains his inability to “make love.” All he can do, it seems, is (rhymes with tuck). But something about Anastasia makes him want to share his interests and tie her up; it’s probably her job in the hardware store. Hilarious songs and dance follow, exploring the ins and outs of an unusual courtship. By

book’s end, the club is transformed, as each member finds her inner goddess. Who knew that inner goddesses could be such sl... delightful ladies? –Nina King

Storytelling With a Side of Laughter What’s funny about a comedian writing an autobiography (aside from the obvious) is what’s unearthed during his or her research. In Brad Garrett’s 2015 book, When the Balls Drop, contains, among other anecdotes, his recollection of being asked to perform an impression of Jimmie “J.J.” Walker at his temple (Garrett being Jewish). “I went to a makeup place, this tall kid from the Bronx, and asked, ‘Can you make me look like Sidney Poitier?’” Garrett says. “I was not trying to make it like a minstrel show, but just to add to the character. … How it was

Call Them the Bad Boys of Magic 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

There’s something about the 1950s that stirs something in everyone. From the music to the hairstyles to the clothes, it was an idealized America, a notion that resonates to this day.

Crossing Into Romance Elizabeth Stanley, who portrays middleaged Francesca in The Bridges of Madison County, the epic love story about a housewife and a photographer (Andrew Samonsky), said “the musical focuses on Francesca and her journey (in life) through romance. It’s almost Shakespearean—the two fall hard … it’s the instantaneous connection they have.” Has anything like this ever happened to her? “Absolutely! I believe this kind of thing can happen, and it has to me.” Stanley thinks this is why she can identify

with the character so closely. The chance encounter, and four days of passionate romance, changes the characters’ lives. They must make decisions that affect not just them but her husband and children (who are at the state fair.) The two-time Tony-winning musical features a score by composer Jason Robert Brown. There’s a variety of music in the score—Stanley’s favorite to sing is the duet, “One Second and a Million Miles,” and her favorite to listen to is the gospelstyle “When I’m Gone.” –Penny Levin

The Green Room It was a somber day when the original O’Sheas casino closed in 2012, even if it was to make way for The Linq Promenade retail/dining project. The casino where Rusty Griswold won a car in Vegas Vacation would be no more. After 23 years on the Strip, it seemed that the luck had run out for O’Sheas. Or had it? A new O’Sheas reopened at The Linq at the end of 2013, bringing the spirit of the original back to the Las Vegas Strip with beer pong, blackjack, three bars offering cheap drinks and more than 50 types of beer. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff The Linq Promenade, open 24 hours daily, 21+. 702.794.3311

Joining Forces 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.” The audience needs no prompting from singer Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot) to respond to the energy onstage with equal enthusiasm. Once Shortino croons through “Light My Fire,” Aldrich straps on a left-handed Stratocaster in recognition of southpaw guitarist Jimi Hendrix, playing a few bars of “Star-Spangled Banner” before Leese joins in for “All Along the Watchtower.” Aldrich plays double neck guitars for “Stairway to Heaven” and “Hotel California.” Shortino wields a crystal-studded-skull walking stick, and vocalist Robin McAuley (McAuley-Schenker Group) dons an AC/DC-esque denim vest and flat cap before launching into “Highway to Hell.” –Matt Kelemen

Turn the Party Up

Stunning views set the backdrop for an evening of fun If anything has been instilled in couples over thousands of years of courtship, it’s that romantic gestures, whether they are planned or spontaneous, are not only welcome, but expected. Las Vegas certainly has enough picturesque rendezvous to stoke the love flame, but few reach the absurd heights—or remarkable ambience—of 107 SkyLounge. Located above the Top of the World Restaurant, on the penultimate floor in the tallest building west of the Mississippi, 107 SkyLounge is the ideal retreat for first dates or 50th wedding anniversaries, predinner or late-night cocktails. Shafts of red light perfectly complement the candlelit tables and plush chairs, and the circular lounge provides 360-degree views of the city.

42 2.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

The bar—wisely positioned with a view of the Strip—illuminates one of the most recognizable skylines. There’s not a bad seat in the house. SkyLounge might not immediately come to mind when talking about the best early evening deals on food and drink, but it should. From 4-7 p.m. daily, the lounge offers a phenomenal early happy hour, with two-for-one martinis and discounts on appetizers like meatball sliders, lollipop chicken wings and roasted tomato fondue. That the apps come from the same kitchen as Top of the World restaurant is even more incentive, considering that establishment has been a culinary destination for years, sporting the same 360-degree views as the lounge and observation deck above it.

Night owls can now catch a late-night happy hour starting at 10:30 p.m. And throughout the week, specials pop up like Skyy High Mondays with $5 Skyy vodka drinks, 1 a.m.-4 a.m. Woman Crush Wednesdays invites all ladies to get 2-for-1 drinks, and Panorama Saturdays offers 15 percent off bottle service and $5 Absolut vodka drinks, 1 a.m.-4 a.m. Enjoy DJ sets every night of the week, too, beginning at 11 p.m. With breathtaking views, romance on tap, awesome drink and food specials and DJs pumping the music up every night, 107 SkyLounge certainly sits at the top of the competition, literally and figuratively. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Stratosphere, 4 p.m.-4 a.m. daily. 702.380.7777

Charlie Palmer Steak offers an ever-evolving culinary experience 44 2.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

nosh cheers What do we really mean when we say “a great steak”? Sure, the phrase itself makes your mouth water, but why? At Charlie Palmer Steak at the Four Seasons, you could order a different steak every night for months and have a unique experience each time, and for Palmer, that’s really what great steak is all about—a continually evolving experience that means something different for everyone. For some, dry aging—hanging or shelving the meats in temperature-controlled environments for up to six weeks—is the key to meaty perfection, since the process leads to moisture loss and a intensely flavored piece of meat. For others, wet aging—storing vacuum-packed meat in refrigeration for up to six weeks—is best, since it breaks down connective tissue, ensuring your steak is smooth as silk. Then there’s the cut (brisket, rib, short loin, sirloin, ribeye … the list goes on and on), the method of cooking and whether a customer prefers well done, medium or rare. Whatever you order, it’s prepared with a personalized level of detail, so don’t be shy about discussing specifications with your server. This restaurant is all about the sweet science of beef, one that Palmer has spent his life trying to perfect. “Charlie’s philosophy has always been sourcing the best ingredients,” says Steven Geddes, corporate director of operations for the Charlie Palmer Group. “We’re constantly sourcing different purveyors, constantly challenging quality levels and better ways to prepare the steaks.” The menu changes often, but meat takes precedence, Geddes says. “It’s an ongoing process. If you’re not constantly looking at new techniques, new purveyors, new ways of creating the dining experience, from cooking it to presenting it, you’re behind the times. So it’s definitely constantly evolving,” Geddes adds. The differences between the cuts and dry- and wet-aging are remarkable when enjoyed back to back. A recent tasting of the restaurant’s options featured New York strip, both wet- and dry-aged, Australian wagyu and Japanese wagyu. The corn-fed dry-aged strip was smooth and deeply meaty in flavor, while the wet-aged strip had more of a “nutty” finish. The grass-fed Australian wagyu, which contains no hormones or antibiotics, had more of a gamier taste, while the Japanese wagyu was succulent, tender and packed with flavor. And while you’re enjoying your choice of steak—and planning your return trip so you can try another—be sure to take advantage of Palmer’s talents elsewhere on the menu, particularly appetizers such as the flavor-packed yellowfin tuna tartare and a California burrata cheese paired with poached pears, Sylvetta arugula and saba, a dish as light as it is delicious. A fresh Bibb salad includes Belgian endive and double-smoked bacon, while the iced seafood platter brings together all of your ocean favorites. No steak is complete without the fixings, and Palmer’s satisfies, with a loaded truffled baked potato that’s practically its own meal, Parmesan potato gratin, Brussels sprouts with water chestnuts and wild mushrooms served with caramelized onions. For dessert, the pineapple upside down cake is served with basil ice cream, a flavor combination that will have you fighting for the last bite with your dining companions.

Nolan Lambertsen

Director of operations finds success in his hometown The road always seems to lead back home. This is especially true for Nolan Lambertsen. Born and raised in Las Vegas, Lambertsen moved to California for college. But every summer he would come home and work as a lifeguard at one of the Strip’s pools. One summer, he was asked to help head up the opening of a new pool club. “I had to think, ‘Why am I leaving this industry, if I want to be in this industry?’” he said. “Why don’t I just stay here, take the opportunity, start to grow in the industry now?” That was nearly a decade ago. Today, Lambertsen is the director of nightlife and daylife operations at SLS Las Vegas. He parlayed his first pool club position into a flourishing career— going on to help open and grow other pool clubs

46 2.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

in the city. About a year ago, he joined SLS to help establish the property’s pool experience, and now he runs both daylife and nightlife, including The Foundry, a live music venue. “With the Foundry, each concert is going to be one helluva party.” And, it’s the party that Lambertsen concentrates on, no matter what venue. His job, he said, is to make sure that guests are having a great time and a great experience at SLS Las Vegas. “I take my job very seriously,” he said. “It’s about being ready for the day, being prepared. I know the Vegas market—growing up here, working here, its definitely been an advantage. And, I always say, ‘If you can handle Vegas, you can handle anything.’” –Kiko Miyasato

Before The Foundry transitioned into SLS Las Vegas’ live music venue, it was one of the property’s nightclubs, Life. Although the space has been rebuilt and rebranded, there are still some original touches to be found, and that includes Jasmine’s Margarita. The popular cocktail has staying power and has been offered since the hotel’s opening. Concertgoers can order the cocktail—Avión tequila, fresh-squeezed lemon and lime juices, pomegranate juice concentrate and pomegranate seeds, with a spiced rim of salt, cayenne, tamarind and lime zest—at one of the multiple bars inside The Foundry. –KM

Harvest at Bellagio relies on local sources to create sustainable cuisine 52 2.21.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

LasVegasMagazine.com 2.21.16

Call it a farm/charm push—just in case you need a nudge to go back to the land (gastronomically speaking) in the midst of the glitziest city on earth. “I want to celebrate the people who harvest the food for us,” says Chef Roy Ellamar, so—voila!—welcome to Harvest by Roy Ellamar at Bellagio, where the food journeys directly from the farm to your plate amid a culinary philosophy of “sustainable cuisine,” which Ellamar explains thusly: “The food is caught and raised in a sustainable manner. In our fish program, we work with the docks directly. We know who the fisherman was, where the fish came from, what time it landed. “In the produce we use, the farmers are using organic practices. The time between when the produce is picked and delivered to us is minimized, so the vitamins and

nutrients are more vibrant and accessible to us.” Supporting local agriculture, Ellamar imports meat, poultry and vegetables from ranchers and growers throughout Nevada— including those who till soil and nurture crops in Caliente, Boulder City, Pahrump and Sandy Valley, among other numerous locales—plus Southern California and other neighboring areas. Seafood is drawn from U.S. waters, a surprisingly rare occurrence in many American cities, particularly in drier regions. “We present it in an elegant way, but the bones of it is really simple food—a grilled steak or roasted chicken, but there’s finesse behind it,” Ellamar says. “And we try to make really good produce and vegetables and not get in the way of it by adding too much.” Bellagio 5-10 p.m. daily. 702.693.8865

Creations are simple, yet scintillating. Try digging into cocoa-rubbed lamb, grilled pork cheek, a fisherman’s stew (featuring Maine lobster and Florida gulf shrimp), slow-roasted porchetta and salt and pepper squid. However healthy the menu, it’s also eclectic. “Our duck buns aren’t healthy, per se, but delicious—and everybody loves it,” Ellamar says. “I’m not ashamed to have those things on the menu. If you want truffles and risotto, that’s available, too.” Don’t forget to dabble in some veggies— say, the charred Brussels sprouts with Blis maple syrup or roasted baby beets topped with spiced yogurt and pickled Asian pear. “People tell me, ‘I cannot believe these Brussels sprouts and cauliflower and this and that,’” Ellamar says. “It’s the freshness of the product and finding the ingredients that showcase it.” Even cocktails—aka “farm-fresh libations”—hew to the Harvest theme. “We’re not necessarily highlighting the flavor of the vodka or bourbon, but the flavor of the vegetable or fruit we’re infusing inside the cocktail,” says Ryan Voss, Bellagio’s director of beverage and cocktails. Before taste-testing the food, try sip-tasting the shareable cranberry/desert sage infusion (cranberry, persimmon, kumquat and desert sage syrup spiked with vodka). Or Beets by Roy (beet juice, mescal, lemon juice and Mandarin syrup, garnished with a goat cheese-stuffed beet cone). Or the pear harvest (pear juice from a cactus plant, vodka, pear cider and thin-sliced pears, arranged like a crème brûlée). “Usually wine outsells cocktails twoto-one but our cocktails are neck and neck with wine by the glass,” Voss says. “Many of our guests are quite intrigued by this type of cocktail.” While dining, keep your eyes peeled for some drive-by delicacies courtesy of a pre-entrée snack wagon. It transports from table to table small plates of treats including hanger steak, smoked salmon and pork belly. Later, a dessert wagon lures diners with an array of mini-sweets. Taken in total, Harvest can satiate even the most sustained appetites—locally, organically and tastily.

hould the words above be true— and they are—they’ll never be more so than when Celine Dion takes the stage during her current Vegas run, her first after weathering twin tragedies that at some point befall us all: the deaths of those we love. Dion loved—adored—her husband/ manager/mentor, René Angélil, who died Jan. 14 after battling throat cancer for years. He was 73. And Celine loved her brother, Daniel Dion, who also succumbed to cancer, at age 59—two days later. What does one do in the face of that? One sings: “Where Does My Heart Beat Now” and “Because You Love Me” and “The Power of Love” and, yes, “My Heart Will Go On,” and many more. “The songs have meaning now,” she said upon her return last fall, urged back after a long hiatus by her husband in the final stages of his disease. “I sang them but now I mean it. To me, they will become different songs. The words will become alive more than ever before.” While Daniel, one of 14 Dion siblings, was described in a family statement as being of “reserved character,” Angélil cut a dapper pubic figure. An avid gambler— which gave him just enough of a rogue’s edge while lending him a Vegas-perfect persona—he was also widely known as a true gentleman with the visage of an owlish sage. Once a singer in his native Montreal with the pop group Les Baronets, he transitioned to managing artists and discovered the golden pipes of then-12-year-old Dion on a demo tape in 1980, triggering a professional and personal golden age. Despite a 26-year age difference, the two married 14 years later, had three children together and—as he guided her career to stratospheric heights—became the First Entertainment Couple of Las Vegas when Dion became a resident headliner in 2003. Though settling in Vegas was at first thought risky for a global superstar, the

Dion-Angélil gamble turned it into a breakthe-bank jackpot, shaping a business/entertainment template that scores of stars have since copied. Improbable as their pairing might have seemed decades back, Celine Dion and Rene Angélil fairly glowed with the glamour of professional success and personal happiness, but seemed to wear that glow with humility. Life, however, never seems to leave good fortune alone. In 1998, Angélil was first diagnosed with throat cancer, triggering a nearly two-decades-long struggle of disease, recovery, remission— and then recurrence. Now he rests. After a much more private, less media-documented battle of his own, Daniel Dion does, too. They came to rest only two days apart, leaving a woman who was both wife and sister with an abundance of grief to soldier through, survive and overcome. And that’s where music is magic—a life-giving elixir that enlarges the heart and calms a turbulent soul. Her heart is damaged and different now, but it will go on. Last fall, when Dion last faced a Vegas audience, a live camera feed set up at the back of the Colosseum at Caesars Palace beamed her performance straight into her home, where her husband, his health fading fast, was watching. Spiritually speaking, what she told him then—looking straight into the camera—could be uttered yet again, this time gazing heavenward. “Promise me something,” she told him. “Just enjoy. Just enjoy.”

The Temptations’ “My Girl” and Smokey Robinson’s “The Tracks of My Tears” make the set list as Boyz II Men pay homage in a moving Motown tribute. But, no Boyz II Men show is complete without the hip-hop feel-good sounds of “Motownphilly,” a track that depicts where their rise to fame all began. Philly is here to stay. –Chanelle Hayes

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. Sharknado star and two-time Chippendales The Show guest host Ian Ziering is being backed by Las Vegas investors in his new, online travel destination site for “rich and famous”-style vacation experiences. Former Beverly Hills 90210 star Ziering says he’s about to reveal the secret vacation destinations of the elite with the launch of CelebrityHideaways.com, a “go to” source for news, travel tips and holiday information.

WhoWhatWhere Former Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls, LA Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs star Dennis Rodman took quite the tour of The Linq Promenade in bright gold track pants. His first stop was Flour & Barley for pizza, followed by a Happy Half Hour ride on the High Roller’s bar car. Before ending

his visit, Dennis went to the Goorin Bros. store to try on hats. Jonathan Scott of HGTV’s Property Brothers attended Absinthe at Caesars Palace, meeting with the cast after the show. Melissa and Joe Gorga of The Real Housewives of New Jersey enjoyed a meal at Buddy V’s Ristorante at The

Palazzo. Actress and model Amber Rose was spotted dining at N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms. DJ Spinderella of SaltN-Pepa took over LAX Nightclub at Luxor as part of the venue’s Throwback Thursday series. Former Playboy Playmate and Peepshow star Holly Madison dined at BLT Steak at Bally’s.

Magician Murray Sawchuck has resumed his new one-year contract at Planet Hollywood’s Sin City Theater now that he’s completed shooting Season 3 of the CW’s Masters of Illusion with new assistant April Leopardi in three new, spectacular illusions. His YouTube video project has amassed more than 42 million views since debuting three months ago, and Murray has just filmed new videos to be released at the rate of two a week for the next 52 weeks. Comedy actor Kevin Burke is juggling two shows at once, his regular starring appearance in Defending the Caveman at The D Las Vegas downtown (a hilarious look at the dynamics between men and women), then racing onto the Strip to the new Jokesters comedy club at Windows Showroom at Bally’s for his comedy and magic act. Burke began starring in Caveman in 2003, and has performed the show more than 3,000 times.

‘Celebration of Life’ for Celine Dion’s late husband a touching event Caesars Palace headliner singer Celine Dion pulled back the curtains on her private life with late husband and manager Rene Angelil at the poignant and highly emotional “Celebration of Life” for Angelil at the Colosseum in Caesars. Incredibly, even though she went through most of a box of Kleenex to dab away tears, Dion managed to find the strength to hold herself together during the most emotional of speeches saluting Angelil, who died here in Las Vegas on Jan. 14. Before the event, Dion sat with her son Rene-Charles and members of Angelil’s family, including his eldest son, Patrick, to receive guests, in an hourlong receiving line. I

was privileged and honored to open and close the tribute as presenter and spoke with Celine before doors were opened to nearly 2,000 guests. I held her hands and told her, “The dark clouds will pass, and the sun will shine again.” She told me, smiling: “And if the sun isn’t there, I will find a spotlight to sing.” I told her son Rene-Charles, who celebrated his 15th birthday just a week prior, that he had to be the rock and support for the family and live up to the promise he made at the Montreal funeral that he would live and show his younger twin brothers, Nelson and Eddy, the same standards his father had taught him.
