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.

Joe Satriani

Guitar legend picks his way along retrospective tour It’s been nearly four decades since Joe Satriani’s Surfing with the Alien made him the first guitarist since Jeff Beck to have a hit instrumental rock album. He released his 15th album, Shockwave Supernova, last year, but now he’s undertaking a retrospective tour, coming to The Pearl at Palms on March 4. He performs songs spanning the breadth of his career, which began in earnest after former pupils Steve Vai and Metallica’s Kirk Hammett began paying homage to him in interviews. A swell of respectful notoriety grew into a wave the master teacher and virtuoso musician has been riding ever since. Satriani recently spoke to Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen.

You’re having a career retrospective concert tour, which basically brings it all back home for fans with you from the very beginning.

What’s interesting that people don’t know about touring, that I point out quite a bit, is when an artist puts out a record they kind of have to abandon working on it because of time and budget. …

This particular tour, I feel like I’ve got a lot of room and all the time I need to walk onstage and really explore playing these things better than they were done on the record. That’s the thing that makes me feel satisfied as a player, as an artist.

I don’t know if fans realize how long you’ve been living with that material by the time they get to hear it.

There were some songs on every record that maybe have a long history of being written and rewritten. There’s a song called “Time” that wound up on Crystal Planet, and that was released in ’98. I had written it and tried to record it for the Surfing with the Alien record. The melody and the solo, the guitar chords, quite a lot of information that was on the final version was actually

24 2.28.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

recorded back then, really in ’87, but we could just not figure out how to finish the song.

Your output’s been prolific, which is especially clear in the wake of the 2013 Complete Studio Recordings boxed set.

You don’t want to suppress anything because it could be a step toward the next song or the next idea.

I think thinking too much about what you’re doing can be dangerous, and what you need to do sometimes is just go with that impulse. If you wake up in the morning and feel like playing a blues kind of thing, then you just go with it and don’t be judgmental about it. It’s a feeling you have, an inspiration. Play it and go record it, and move on.

How are you spending the time leading up to the tour?

Getting gear together. It’s amazing how long it takes to get gear together to be absolutely perfect. I’ve got maybe about 20 guitars and I’ve got to whittle it down to maybe six or eight.

There’s amps that are getting serviced because they did a long, nightly tour of Europe and then traveled back here, so there’s

some maintenance that has to be done. … In the meantime I’m picking up the guitar and I’m practicing, believe it or not (laughs).

You’re practicing now?

All day long in between the interviews. I’m doing about two hours of interviews every morning, and then I walk into the studio and keep practicing. I keep going over

the songs and I keep staring at my fingers wondering if I’m doing stuff the right way, if there’s an easier way to do it. When recording in the studio, I’m just never thinking analytically about stuff I’m playing. I’m trying to catch myself being off the cuff, just being inspired and playing without thinking. When you go to play something live, you really have to deal with what you’ve done.

One question

Jennifer Romas What’s the biggest personal change you’ve made and how did it affect you?

It was the decision to part with the love of my life. Finding your soul mate doesn’t happen every day so when it does, you want to keep it forever, but love doesn’t conquer all.

My relationship was an extreme highand-low lifestyle. We were both very high-strung and passionate. He was my best friend, lover, companion and the most amazing talent. We traveled the world together following our dreams. I didn’t want to do anything without him. Our lives revolved around each other. You become one when you enter into a lifetime commitment with someone, but I lost my identity. We were headed down a road of destruction.

One day I made a decision that I needed to be a better person to myself, for myself and family. That decision was one of the hardest. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about losing the love of my life, but sometimes love isn’t enough.

I learned what was important: how to stand up for myself, create a healthier lifestyle mentally and physically, work harder, how to be alone, become a stronger independent woman and, hopefully, a role model to others, to follow my dreams and be me. All those things my parents taught me when I was young, I needed to put back in my life. And I still believe in love.

Jennifer Romas is the creator/producer/choreographer/star of Sexxy at Westgate Las Vegas. Performances at 10:30 p.m. Tues.-Sat., 18+. Call 800.222.5361 for tickets.

Not Just Nostalgia The Gin Blossoms are survivors. The pop-rockers from Tempe, Ariz., began their career in the shadow of tragedy, after original guitarist Doug Hopkins died before seeing his songs “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You” become huge hits. But the band persevered, with further hits including “Follow You Down,” “Until I Fall Away” and “Til I Hear It From You” during the height of its popularity in the ’90s.

Facing waning success, the band broke up in 1997, but the members came back together in 2002, and since then they’ve resisted becoming a nostalgia act, recording two new albums, and charting new singles (including “Learning the Hard Way” and “Miss Disarray”) on the adult alternative and adult contemporary charts. They’ve proven resilient, attracting new listeners while appealing to early fans. Guitarist Jesse Valenzuela recently told the Arizona Republic, “...We have a lot of fans who are interested in the music, so if we put something out there’s an audience for it.”

What else could a band ask for? –Josh Bell

Settling Scores People of goodwill can heal the divisions between them. People of not-such-goodwill can address divisions by knocking each other senseless. So it will be at UFC 196, where for only the second time in the organization’s history, mixed martial arts champions in different divisions will fight for the lightweight title. While toplining an eight-bout card, lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos and featherweight crownholder Conor McGregor aren’t exactly pals.

“The most complicated part of all this will be (to) control myself so I don’t put my hands on this lunatic before the fight,” dos Anjos told MMAfighting.com, responding to trash talk McGregor aimed not only at his opponent, but his wife and children.

Calling this one personal would be an understatement, as dos Anjos, a Brazilian native, puts his 25-7 record up against the bombastic, Dublin-born McGregor’s 19-2 tally. Dos Anjos, 31, is noted for aggressive, high-volume strik-

Naughty, but Oh-So-Nice Burlesque is one of the oldest forms of entertainment, but “X” Burlesque mixes in some of music’s hottest bands with modern dance moves. Having some of the most beautiful women on the planet doesn’t hurt.

The performers have seemingly limitless energy. The numbers showcase the amazing flexibility of the dancers, and, of course, tops are often shed. But this is a seriously updated female revue—you’ll see everything from country/western line dancing to psychedelic rock routines.

Bacchanal Buffet (Caesars Palace, 702.731.7928) features everything from fried chicken and waffles and red velvet pancakes to wagyu sliders and dim sum. For an additional cost, go for high-class options like a whole poached lobster with some Veuve Clicquot champagne.

That’s not to say “X” abandons its roots.

The show still features feather boas and a champagne glass routine, where a performer climbs into a large glass and douses herself. The production celebrated its 13th anniversary in 2015, and it’s not hard to see why it endures: It’s naughty, topless fun, sure, but it’s also one of the most entertaining things on the Las Vegas Strip. Just check your inhibitions at the door. –Ken Miller Flamingo, 10 p.m. daily, $61.55-$94.90 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.733.3333

At The Buffet (Bellagio, 866.259.7111), items include blinis and mini buckwheat waffles, beef Wellington, Kobe beef, rack of lamb, osso buco and sumptuous desserts. Up the ante with the Buffet Chef’s Table: Tableside preparations and a meet and greet with an executive chef.

AT A GLANCE

Revolt Tattoos artists enjoying celebrity status Life’s been good for Joey Hamilton and Walter “Sausage” Frank since they were featured in seasons three and four of Ink Master. The Las Vegas-based tattoo artists just observed the inaugural anniversary of Revolt Tattoos, where Vegas-visiting fans of the show can easily find them. It’s a spacious, six-chair (and one private room) establishment across from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, with retina-relaxing charcoal and pale purple pastel walls, framed art beneath a high shelf laden with more than 50 trophies, a center lounge surrounded by hue-shifting fiberoptic railing, and a 12-by-6-foot jumbo screen above Hamilton’s station.

“It’s a great spot to tattoo out of because everybody comes here all the time,” said season

three winner Hamilton of his adopted hometown.

Hamilton should know; he walked right into season two of the original tattoo reality series Inked when he first came to Vegas 10 years ago and was hired by Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company, the first tattoo shop to open in a casino.

Now Frank, who was the first runner-up in season four, returns to the show with fellow Revolt artist Chris Buckingham for Ink Master Revenge, the seventh season of the Spike network’s skin illustration competition.

“This season is going to be awesome because there’s going to be eight original artists and there’s going to be eight returning artists that all did really good during their own season,” said Frank. –Matt Kelemen

Revolt Tattoos Revolt Tattoos will host a combination anniversary celebration and viewing party for the season debut of Ink Master Revenge on March 1, starting with a 6 p.m. meet-and-greet. More than a dozen Ink alumni are expected Joey Hamilton and Walter “Sausage” Frank became friends during Hamilton’s five-year stint with Club Tattoo in Miracle Mile Shops

No One-Man Show

The Great Outdoors Lift your glass and enjoy a pint! Beer Park, the new outdoor sports bar/restaurant/lounge/picnic grounds on a huge elevated deck outside Paris facing the Strip, makes the living easy and the chilling fine.

The restaurant is a fine escape, whether you’re looking to cool down with a cold one (there are 36 beers on tap, including my newly discovered favorite, Kona Longboard), or get your dining done. There are more than 100 beer varieties available, so if you can’t find your favorite on tap, branch out with something new.

TV screens are all over the place, including the three bars, so you can catch the latest game. Roving carts deliver chips, hummus, salsa, egg salad (yeah!) and chips to you wherever you’re sitting, and more substantial fare such as brisket, BBQ chicken, hot dogs and blue cheese burgers.

Just a few more words to convince you to stop by: Stella, Goose Island, Delirium Tremens, Oculto, Best Damn Root Beer and, of course, Bud. –Nina King Paris, opens at 11 a.m. daily, 21+ after 10 p.m. 702.444.4500

Working It Claire Sinclair’s favorite number in PIN UP is “Bumps and Grinds,” featuring Sinclair executing a tassel twirl as her face lights up with her biggest smile of the evening. PIN UP has undergone minor changes, most conspicuously with Playboy’s 2011 Playmate of the Year Sinclair adding pasties, but the basic elements remain unchanged. And the dancers and band perform with supreme confidence. “That show would be absolutely nothing without the band and without the dedication of the dancers working their asses off,” Sinclair said. –Matt Kelemen Stratosphere, 9:30 p.m. Thurs.-Mon., $54-$64 VIP plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.380.7777

Terry Fator photo by Christopher DeVargas Dirk Arthur photo by Nick Coletsos

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

Cool Cat Dirk Arthur (Westgate Las Vegas, 800.222.5361) is a true throwback to vintage Las Vegas. His stage show 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 a side to his show that other magic acts don’t: Felines, including a snow leopard, white Bengal tiger and black panther. And all of his exotic cats are used liberally throughout his all-ages show. –KM

Rocker Launcher Before he says or sings a word, his mullet tells you everything: We’re back in the 1980s in all the fabulously cheesy, metal-headed glory of Rock of Ages, the Reagan-omical jukebox musical.

Meet Lonny, assistant manager of a Sunset Strip club called The Bourbon Room, and hilarious host/ narrator for the antics of a show that raids an era’s songbook for a spoofy story of young love amidst all things sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll.

Yet he’s only one of a giant bag of mixed nuts onstage, including a stoned/horny rock star, a middleaged club owner, screaming groupies, a goofy-sweet protestor, and an ingénue/wannabe actress who winds up working a stripper pole after falling for the rocker-Romeo—but fret not, there’s a happy ending.

It’s all set to a play list of ’80s anthems—backed

by Arsenal, the onstage band—that will fling you back in time: “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Just Like Paradise” and more. Rock of Ages keeps aging rock forever young. –Steve Bornfeld

Night of Wonder All the Right Moves Your fantasies are your business (besides, they might make us blush a deep shade of purple, you sexy rascals). Yet even fantasies require refreshing from time to time. Enter Fantasy. Celebrating 16 years as one of Las Vegas’ signature sexy revues, the topless production—starring singer Jaime Lynch and comedian Sean E. Cooper—recently unveiled a new opening created by acclaimed choreographer/director/dancer Mandy Moore.

36 2.28.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Moore has fashioned the Fantasy opening in which the dancers perform to a mash-up of Little Mix’s “Salute” and Jordin Sparks’ “I Am Woman.” Additionally, Fantasy has integrated three new routines into the show. In one, Lynch goes into soul mode, crooning “Try a Little Tenderness,” while in another she performs Miranda Lambert’s “Little Red Wagon.” Boomeranging back to classic Vegas, the entire cast joins in on “Viva Las Vegas.” –SB

Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère is an acrobatic buffet served up on a revolving stage inside a custom-built theater. Set to a surreal story with exotic, metaphorical characters in elaborate, otherworldly costumes, Mystère features several distinctive acts, including one in which an aerialist performs within a giant metal cube both on the ground and while airborne. Bungee jumpers bounce and swing as they scrape the ceiling, gymnasts turn a trampoline into an artistic canvas, and Japanese taiko drummers pound out thunderous, infectious rhythms. –SB Treasure Island, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Sat.-Wed., $69-$119 plus tax and fee. 702.894.7722 Rock of Ages photo by Denise Truscello Mystère photo by Erik Kabik/Retna/erikkabik.com

Awesome Aussie Abs Sizzling, sexy, stimulating, sensuous.

These are just a few ways to describe the delicious blokes from Australia who tantalize the imaginations of millions of women at Thunder From Down Under.

Whether it is Tarzan of the Jungle sharing his wild side in an electrifying solo or a Sydney firefighter heating up the lucky women in the showroom watching his performance, it is evident that Thundermania has struck.

High-energy, pulsating music, dancing, gymnastics and “up close and personal”

contact makes this show a must for every red-blooded female who adores hunky Aussie men.

It’s often a family affair when grandmothers, mothers and their daughters attend a live show and get attention from the Aussies with washboard abs. Although watching a Thunder show in person is the best way to feel the heat, the revue also has gained international attention through the years via TV appearances on such shows as Project Runway, Drop Dead Diva and Ellen. –Penny Levin

The Real Voice For more than six years, Gordie Brown has charmed audiences, using comedy and music in his impersonations. Part of his talent lies in his comedic abilities.

A Massive Canvas

The Strip’s newest nightclub concept is raising the bar Where do you take contemporary Vegas nightlife after more than a decade of evolution and reinvention? If you’re Hakkasan Group—which turned MGM Grand’s reputation as a club-andultra-lounge hot spot into that of major clubbing destination featuring internationally renowned EDM talent at its namesake venue—and you have a canvas in Caesars Palace that housed one of the most game-changing nightclubs of the 2000s with which to work with, you have to exceed expectations; you have to get it right from the get-go and by design.

And Omnia does. Throughout the past year, the club has raised the bar in terms of both party atmosphere and environment surrounding celebrated DJs such as Calvin Harris, Afrojack and

42 2.28.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Above & Beyond, making certain that both talent and guest return.

Hakkasan brought in the Rockwell Group to take the lead in Omnia’s architectural aspects. At 75,000 square feet, the floor plan is double the size of Pure, the nightclub that once occupied the space. Like Pure, Omnia has indoor and outdoor environments. It has expanded the venue’s square footage on the ground level, though, creating enough space to hold 3,500 patrons.

Once inside, guests can hit the main club or have an “exclusive experience” inside Heart of Omnia. The 1,000-guest-capacity VIP room features open-format (diverse genre) artists, and plays host to influential hip-hop icons such as Questlove, Rev Run and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

On March 1, Omnia’s Wild at Heart Tuesday night party welcomes Dutch sensation Oliver Heldens who’s best known for his hot track “Gecko.” When the weekend hits, “Feel So Close” to global star Calvin Harris as he mans the booth with Generik on Friday, March 4. That night in Heart of Omnia, Melo-D takes over.

Saturday night, March 5, guests can crowd the dance floor when Belgian brothers and EDM DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike perform in the main room, and in Heart of Omnia, Bee Fowl will liven up the party with a mix of hip-hop, top 40 and house music. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Caesars Palace, opens at 10 p.m. Tues. & Thurs.-Sun., cover charge applies, 21+. 702.785.6200

Grilled baby octopus

By Jim Begley Photos by Christopher DeVargas

Herringbone at Aria showcases the sea and farm Recognized as a Vegas nightlife stalwart, Hakkasan Group has assembled a stable of high-quality restaurants up and down the Strip. Under the watchful eye of Top Chef alumnus Brian Malarkey, the entertainment group has acquired and opened numerous venues. Their latest is situated on the ever-popular second-level dining rotunda at Aria with Herringbone, a concept previously located only in California.

Since the endlessly energetic Malarkey has not yet found a way to clone himself, he has given the reins to returning Vegas chef Geno Bernardo, most recently at the helm of Nove at the Palms before embarking on an adventure south of the border.

He brings not only his Italian roots, but also an expanded flair for world-cuisine deftly suited for showcasing the sea.

Hamachi crudo

Aria, Lunch 11:30 a.m.3 p.m. daily, dinner 5-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 5-11 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.590.9898

Ricotta agnolotti

Begin with some cold fare such as seasonal oysters—Naked Cowboys were available on a recent visit—or salmon carpaccio highlighted with a spicy lemon caper dressing and adorned with shaved baby fennel. Hamachi crudo exudes a hint of heat from jalapeño salsa and is sprinkled with pomegranate seeds for texture, and his shrimp ceviche is oddly reminiscent of a ’70s soiree shrimp cocktail in the best possible way. The concoction is teeming with avocado and has hints of chile heat, while being served with saltines, further cementing its place in time.

The grilled baby octopus is about as good a rendition of this delicacy as you'll find anywhere on the Strip.

Bernardo successfully explores elsewhere in the world with Asian influences. Nantucket Bay scallops are elevated with a sesame ponzu sauce, while chicken wings are laden with toasted garlic and served with a peanut dipping sauce as good as any you’ll find in nearby Chinatown. And his tuna poke is a fusion of poke recipes he’s gathered from peers, combining yellowtail tuna with slightly salty shoyu, sweet Maui onions and macadamia nuts for texture. Arriving with crisp green onion pancakes, the dish could only be more authentically Hawaiian if it were served with a side of Spam.

Bernardo’s meatballs and ricotta agnolotti were so widely revered in his last Vegas tour of duty, it’s apropos they found their way onto the Herringbone menu. But his grandmother’s meatballs are a superb combination of pork, veal and beef, served swimming in a robust pork neck gravy. And creamy ricotta agnolotti bask in a sweet brown butter sauce with prominent hints of sage. The dessert menu is huge, but the root beer float with hard root beer is a notable highlight.

With sofas surrounding low-top tables and a myriad of TVs, the room is comfortable like a welcoming family den. The outdoor dining area is a contemporary contrast. But Bernardo is certainly capable of making both shine as he returns to the spotlight in Vegas. We’re glad to have him home.

Hot Daughter

Gabrielle Rivera

Operations manager creates the wow factor For Gabrielle Rivera, operations manager of Foundation Room, it’s about being a part of the guest experience. “I get to experience that moment when people are dancing like no one is watching, except I’m watching and it’s awesome,” said the Washington, D.C., native.

The Mandalay Bay hot spot, located on the 63rd floor, has some of the best views in the city. “Even after two years working here, I still find the view absolutely amazing,” Rivera said.

She joined Foundation Room as the hostess and it’s been a meteoric rise ever since.

“Some parts of hospitality are innate in people. I’ve always been a people person,” she said.

“It’s never been work for me. It’s about creating that wow factor, that ooh-aah moment.”

46 2.28.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Foundation Room presents a lot of those moments, and has been doing so for more than a dozen years. “There is nothing like it,” Rivera said. “We’ve been here since Mandalay Bay opened and we are still relevant. People still love coming up here.” The lounge and adjoining restaurant is like a one-stop shop for a night of dinner, drinks, dancing and a darn good time.

“As soon as you walk off the elevator, it’s like you’ve entered a hidden gem; it has that speakeasy vibe,” Rivera said. “After dinner, you can go into the lounge and enjoy a cocktail and dancing and before you know it, the sun is coming up. ... Working in this industry is definitely a calling. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.” –Kiko Miyasato

It’s just a fun name for a fun drink. “I joke with my guests, you are what you eat, but you can also be what you drink,” Rivera said, laughing. “There’s just something naughty about ordering the Hot Daughter!” It’s one of many specialty cocktails offered at The Foundation Room. The sweet yet slightly spicy libation mixes Maestro Dobel Diamante Reposado tequila, Cointreau, simple syrup, and fresh-squeezed lemon and lime juice with muddled basil leaves and Serrano chilies. The cocktail is shaken and strained into a martini glass, then garnished with a basil leaf. –KM

Sultry Nights The right application will have all eyes on you

A night on the town calls for something extra!

Sexy, smoky eyes are not one type fits all. With so many variations and styles, the options are as endless as places to experience in Vegas. Go bold using light and dark shades of a color, like purple, green, or blue. Embrace heavy metals, using dark bronze with a pop of gold, or for a cooler tone, try deep pewter with a silver accent. If you’re ready to go dark or go home, apply black or dark grey and blend on your lids. For full impact, smudge that color into the bottom lash line. Finish your look with false lashes and a nude lip. Whatever look you choose, it’s guaranteed you’ll be as hot as the night is! –Sarah Redzikowski

Rascal Flatts’ young fans can find a life lesson in the journey of lead singer Gary LeVox

ne’s 45, one’s 44, one’s 40. And if they were in the audience, they’d seem—figuratively speaking, at least—like a trickle of graybeards among a wave of whipper-snappers. Good thing they’re onstage—the ones the whipper-snappers came to see.

“This is a testament to where country music is right now,” says Gary LeVox (pictured far left), lead vocalist and eldest of the elders—with second cousins Jay DeMarcus (the 44-year-old) and Joe Don Rooney (the baby, at 40) who comprise youth magnet Rascal Flatts.

How magnetic? The trio that’s practically made of gold and platinum (albums and singles) enjoys a fan base tilted toward 18-to-25-year-olds, a rarity in country. (It’s instructive to note that, in 2007, a Weekly Reader Research poll of 2,000-plus children ranked the “Life is a Highway”/“Bless the Broken Road” hitmakers the sixth-most-popular act among 10- to 12-year-olds.)

Graciously, LeVox spreads the credit around. “So many other artists in so many other genres are cutting records and collaborating with country artists,” he says. “Who would ever think you’d hear Bon Jovi and Steven Tyler doing country music? Or see rappers on an awards show with Florida Georgia Line?

That brings a whole new demographic.”

Among millennials—who have been praised by sociologists, religious leaders and ethicists for their dedication to volunteerism and service to others— LeVox is more than just a musical inspiration. He’s a moral one, stretching back to when he was their age. “It was a part of my life from when I was 18 years old to 28 years old,” says LeVox about his pre-Rascal years when he worked with developmentally disabled adults in his native Columbus, Ohio. “A long time I The Joint at the Hard Rock spent with them and loved every minute of it. I took Hotel their stories and their reactions and their laughs 8 p.m. March 2 & 4-5, and their love with me.” starting at $39.95 Not to mention their gumption. Though he grew plus tax and fee. up immersed in music and was an aspiring musi888.929.7849 cian, he had yet to risk the life he had for the one he wanted—crashing the Nashville scene. Then he got a touching lesson in perseverance while working at a Columbus training center, teaching his clients the basics of holding a job, from punching a timecard to packing a lunch to just holding a conversation.

One client was so nervous in front of others that he couldn’t fill a bottle of cleaning fluid without spilling it.

Not long afterward, LeVox was at the training center when some clients returned from the Special Olympics, including the nervous spiller—who was proudly displaying a medal he’d just won, racing in front of a stadium full of strangers. “They showed such determination, they were so proud, it was awesome,” LeVox says. “It was their push to continue; they tried with all they had. I thought, “I’ve got to go try.”

If I win a gold medal or not, I’ve got to give it my all. They were a big influence on me. They even influenced my songwriting early on.”

They—and his unshakable religious faith—finally set him Nashville-bound for a career atop the country charts, as well as concerts, some of which took him back home to Ohio for cherished reunions.

“Anytime we play in Columbus, they have showed up,” he says of his clients-turned-friends. “It meant the world to me. It brought back so many of the memories and I was so proud that they were proud.”

That journey is a life lesson for the ages, no matter your age.

Ways To Jump into Leap Year in Las Vegas

By Susan Stapleton

You only get to celebrate one extra day every four years, so hop into a memorable way to celebrate the leap year on Feb. 29. Jump into a party, leap into a show, hop off a tall building or pogo into a new marriage all for this special day. Here, nine ways to make your 2016 leap year even more bouncy fun.

Jump!

Take a leap of faith from the highest building west of the Mississippi River and live to tell the tale. SkyJump takes adventure seekers to the 108th floor of the Stratosphere and in eight seconds, reach the bottom and live to tell the tale. The controlled drop comes complete with a view of the city and an adventure of a lifetime. (Stratosphere, 702.380.7777) Say “Hi!” to Lucky the Leprechaun No, leap day isn’t the same as St. Patrick’s Day, but the day is considered lucky. Head to

O’Sheas Casino inside The Linq to hobnob with Lucky the Leprechaun, the mayor of the Strip hot spot with its cheap drinks, beer pong and $5 blackjack. (The Linq, 702.794.3311) Make the leap to rabbit Time to see if all those “tastes like chicken” theories are true as you dine on rabbit to celebrate leap year. Julian Serrano at Aria (877.230.2742) serves up Valenciana paella, the Spanish dish made with rabbit, chicken, cured chorizo, vegetables and spiced saffron. Or hop over to Le Cirque at the Bellagio (702.693.8865) for Blanquette

Get married Not only is leap day a popular time to tie the knot, but a lot of times the ladies are the ones doing the asking. Those celebrating their nuptials only have to remember that anniversary every four years. Wedding chapels all over Las Vegas can get couples hitched in a blink of the eye.

Salute Harry Craddock Savoy Hotel bartender Harry Craddock created the leap

year cocktail for the London hotel on Feb. 29, 1928. Legend has it, drinking one would cause men to drop on one knee and propose.

The drink mixes up a mildly sweet flavor and touch of bitterness.

Head to Hit Bar & Lounge at the Monte Carlo to see if this elixir really works. (Monte Carlo, 702.730.7777) Go back in time Relive your college years and jump into a party at Señor Frog’s. The spring break mecca at Treasure Island has its own party favors in the form of contests, emcees, nightly DJs, shot girls and bikini contests to get the Mexican

fiesta going. (Treasure Island, 702.894.7111) Go off-road Jump into a vehicle at Sun Buggy Fun Rentals and leap through the sand dunes surrounding Las Vegas. These rentals let you rove around on your own or head off on a guided tour.

(866.728.4443) See an unforgettable show Dude looks like a lady. Flip over the stunning celebrity look-alikes in Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas, the drag queen show starring the Strip’s longestperforming artist Frank Marino

as hostess. And for the next two weeks, the ever-rotating cast adds Celine Dion to its lineup to coincide with her return to Caesars Palace. (The Linq, 702.777.2782) Let others leap for you Watch world-class performers perform acrobatics in KÀ, the Cirque du Soleil show at the MGM Grand. Aside from stunning acrobatics, the performers seem to jump up a wall as the stage rotates 180 degrees. The martial arts, the circus acts and the touching storyline about a brother and sister trying to reunite all make your heart leap. (MGM Grand, 702.531.3826)

By Matt Kelemen Photos by Jack Megaw FOR USA SEVENS

USA Sevens Rugby helps a stripped-down sport grow into a phenomenon Sam Boyd Stadium, 3 p.m. March 4, 10:30 a.m. March 5, 9:30 a.m. March 6, prices vary per day, multiday packages available. 702.739.3267

While U.S. sports fans recognize rugby as the precursor to American-style football, opportunities to participate or see it played professionally in the United States are rare. That’s been changing since USA Sevens International Rugby Tournament began bringing international teams to Las Vegas five years ago for what’s grown into a multiday event complete with an amateur competition and a Parade of Nations Ceremony at Fremont Street Experience. Sevens

56 2.28.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

rugby is a slightly different game than its parent sport, though, with seven players per team playing two seven-minute halves rather than more than two dozen players on the field for 80 minutes.

The result is a faster game with more scoring. It’s a fast-growing sport as well, making its Olympics debut in Rio de Janeiro this summer. The USA Sevens International Rugby Tournament has given it a firm foothold domestically. “We’re trying to grow the event,” says USA Sevens spokesman Rob Cornelius. “We want Las Vegas to know that

we are here and we’re building this event for the locals and for the community.”

The Las Vegas tournament is the fifth of 10 rounds in the 2015-’16 series, with New Zealand winning the most recent round in Sydney with a 27-25 win over Australia. The 16 teams go to Vancouver and Hong Kong next, but before they do there are three days of competition at Sam Boyd Stadium, beginning March 4. Last year, Fiji dominated a field that included previous USA Sevens tournament winners including Samoa and South Africa, with each team—featuring star players such as Vatemo Ravouvou (Fiji), Alesana Tuilagi (Samoa) and Seabelo Senatla (South Africa)—thrilling crowds with an athleticism that can only be expressed via sevens rugby.

Sevens rugby may seem like a new sport due to the excitement surrounding its growth, but the first game was played in 1883 in Scotland.

It was immediately apparent that it was a faster game, and it thrived as an amateur sport, since it took fewer players to organize a match. The first rugby sevens international tournament took place in Scotland in 1973, with the inaugural Hong Kong Sevens tournament in 1976 considered an important step as it made the competition an event with festival pageantry and commercial potential. The first Rugby World Cup Sevens (now sponsored by HSBC) was held in Scotland in 1993.

Cornelius, a rugby player himself, first attended a USA Sevens event in San Diego, then helped launch it in Las Vegas. The USA Sevens International Rugby Tournament is now a pace setter in terms of production, kicking things off Wednesday, March 2, at 11 a.m. with a Team USA pep rally on the Strip at BLVD Plaza at Monte Carlo. The Parade of Nations follows at 6:30 p.m. Thursday on Fremont Street, parties and conferences are scheduled throughout, and amateur rugby players test their skills Saturday morning at the Las Vegas Invitational. It also partners with schools for HSBC USA Sevens Adopt a Country, in which Clark County students learn about one of the tournament team’s home countries for the duration of USA Sevens International Rugby Tournament—good preparation for potential future rugby players.

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.

Female impersonator and Las Vegas resident Derrick Barry, who is an astonishing Britney Spears look-alike, will be in the next cast of Logo’s reality TV competition RuPaul’s Drag Race. It kicks off on March 7 with a 90-minute episode marking the 100th episode and 100th drag queen sashaying into the work room. Barry, who stars as Britney in Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq, is up against 11 other bejeweled and bedazzled beauties from coast to coast.

WhoWhatWhere Wrapping up her first run of performances of her new resident show All I Have at Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort, superstar singer, dancer and actress Jennifer Lopez celebrated by partying at Omnia in Caesars Palace.

Lopez arrived at the Caesars mega-club alongside boyfriend Casper Smart. The

pop diva was seen in high spirits as she socialized at her VIP table in the Heart of Omnia and took in the sounds of DJ Shift. Lopez returns to Planet Hollywood on May 22. NFL legend Lawrence Taylor hosted his 57th birthday at Sapphire Gentleman’s Club with a giant birthday cake of him playing

in his No. 56 uniform.

Denver Broncos DeMarcus Ware, Malik Jackson, Kenny Anunike, Sylvester Williams, Darius Kilgo, Brandon Marshall, Vance Walker and George Uko celebrated their Super Bowl win at Tao at The Venetian, having dinner and heading to the nightclub.

Millionaire hospitality owner Tilman Fertitta surprised more than 800 of his key execs from his 500 properties with a private performance

by Pitbull at the Golden Nugget. Fertitta also signed the star to perform at Mardi Gras celebrations at his Galveston and Lake Charles properties this month. Fertitta uses the events to motivate and inspire employees for a productive New Year after updating a successful past year with priorities for the new one.

Fantasy at the Luxor lead vocalist Jaime Lynch and her cast performed a Valentine’s Eve show at nearby LAX to celebrate the holiday and cast member Soolin DeMaria’s Playboy South Africa magazine layout as Miss February. Soolin threw out 1,000 pairs of bunny ears to the crowd, who wore them for dancing till dawn. Going into its 17th year, Fantasy spotlights its topless dancers in an array of numbers, including the snappy opening set to Little Mix’s “Salute.”

Donny and Marie unveil wax figures at Madame Tussauds Headliner siblings Donny and Marie Osmond gasped when their wax-figure doubles were unveiled at their Flamingo showroom. They came face-to-face for the first time with their Madame Tussauds creations, which were so real that Marie said: “I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a sister. It’s amazing how real they look!” Donny naturally turned that into a joke: “I have one sister, and one is quite enough!” The wax figures were transported safely back to Madame Tussauds at The Venetian, where they are now permanently on display as the attraction’s first new figures for 2016. They were created late last year when

the studio team first measured the brothersister entertainers. That step in the process involved collecting hand impressions and nearly 300 body and facial measurements per person, as well as comparing the duo’s hair samples and eye color. They were then sculpted and perfected in clay by hand. Once this step was completed, the clay was covered by a plaster cast. Subsequently, the clay was removed from the cast, and the wax was poured in and allowed to cool, leaving the shape of the figures. The final weeks of 2015 were spent meticulously inserting each hair by hand, then fitted with acrylic eyes and teeth.
