WELCOME TO THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE This is the recipe for the ultimate sneak attack: camouflage that would make a chameleon jealous, eight flexible arms, more than 200 powerful suckers, a razor-sharp beak and ultra-high intelligence. Introducing the Giant Pacific Octopus, just one of many skilled predators you’ll see at Shark Reef Aquarium. With more than 2,000 animals to see in over 1.6 million gallons of water, it’s easy to lose yourself in awe and wonder. For more information about Shark Reef Aquarium, the Dive with Sharks Program, Animal Encounters or to purchase tickets, visit the Shark Reef Box Office or go to sharkreef.com. Open at 10 a.m. daily. Located near the South Convention Center.

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 A very good week
There are several reasons you should be very happy about visiting Las Vegas at this time of year. The first, obviously, is our gorgeous weather, which practically demands you find a restaurant or bar with a patio to take in some sun and the best people-watching in the country. The second is the entertainment that awaits you. As you’ll discover in this issue, there is literally something for everyone in Las Vegas. Hungry? Check out our feature on Tom’s Urban, a Stripside restaurant celebrating its first anniversary at New York-New York, or our story on some of the best oyster bar options in the city. Starved for some oldies? Matt Kelemen profiles one of the Strip’s most successful shows, Million Dollar Quartet, which features the music of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. It’s well worth your time, as is America (“Horse With No Name”), which performs at Golden Nugget. KISS fans will be happy to know that former member Ace Frehley will be in town performing at Brooklyn Bowl, and we scored an exclusive interview. If your favorite performer is still Frank Sinatra, his spirit is alive and well at Caesars Palace, courtesy of the silvertongued Matt Goss. Comedy fan? Not only will you have the chance to see Bill Maher at The Mirage, you can also experience two comedy legends at the same time at Caesars Palace—Steve Martin and Martin Short. So many choices—but isn’t that the best problem to have?

Ace Frehley
Former KISS guitarist looking excitedly toward the future Ace Frehley’s public profile may be at its highest since before he left KISS in the ’80s. His 2014 album Space Invader cracked the top 10 on the Billboard 200, a heavy-rotation promo campaign for HBO’s Entourage used his 1978 solo track “New York Groove,” and an all-covers allstar album titled Origins Vol. 1 is highly anticipated among fans old and recent. Things have never been better for the clearheaded and downto-Earth guitar hero, save for a lack of time to finish the follow-up to his 2011 autobiography No Regrets. Frehley, who plays Brooklyn Bowl at The Linq March 6, spoke recently to Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen. How has the past week been since you announced the release of your covers album? Well, it’s been a flurry of excitement, you know? The biggest news is that Paul Stanley is singing on the record. All the KISS sites are buzzing over that news, and I think everybody’s going to love (Free cover) “Fire and Water” when the record comes out April 15. All the other songs on there are just as strong. I’m really thrilled with the way the album came out, and Warren Huart, who mixed Space Invader, did a great job mixing this album. It’s going to be a very special record, I think. How much of the material from the covers album are you going to play on your upcoming tour? We’re just going to do one or two songs, because nobody’s heard them. The only song people have heard is “White Room” and that’s one song I really can’t do live because I gotta play wah-wah on that, and I can’t have pedals on the floor. I trip over them (laughs). Which tracks did you enjoy recording the most? I had a lot of fun recording. Having celebrity guests was really the most fun. I had Slash playing on “Emerald,” Lita Ford on “Wild

Thing.” Paul Stanley—he’s so busy I didn’t really have a chance to be in the studio with Paul. He recorded it in his studio with his engineer and sent us the vocal. I’m thrilled with the way that song came out. What else … John 5 (a guitarist who’s worked with Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie) was a pleasure to work with. I’ve known John forever, and he did some great soloing on “Cold Gin” and “Parasite.” Have you always remained faithful to Les Paul? Is that still your favorite guitar? Yeah. Les Pauls are the sh*t. Recently the Gibson Custom shop released the third Ace Frehley model. They did a reissue of my ’59 Les Paul. I think I’m one of the few guitarists that have had three signature models. I got back from Europe and it was like Christmas. Christmas in the summertime, because there were like 11 Les Pauls at my house waiting for me.
writing notes down, because during the course of the day invariably a story will pop into my head that I have to jot down on a piece of paper so I won’t forget it .... I’ve lived such a colorful life I could probably write five books.
Is there an episode going into the next book that you can give us a preview of? I don’t want to give away any previews of No Regrets 2, but I’m working on it. When I have time I’m working on it. I’m always
Between Space Invader and “New York Groove” in heavy rotation on HBO due to Entourage promotion, it seems as if Ace Frehley’s public profile is at its highest since the reunion tour 20 years ago. How
does that look from your perspective? I really can’t go anywhere without getting recognized. It all kind of snowballed with being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (in 2014) and then the release of Space Invader, and I’ve been doing a lot of extensive touring over the last couple of years. Wherever I go I get recognized. I gotta pick and choose where I’m going, where I’m not going to get hassled—hopefully.

The inaugural Tunnel Jam on March 10 from 5-7 p.m. will challenge both pro and amateur flight instructors to show off their best moves and routines inside the vertical wind tunnel. Viewers can watch the competition for free as long as they donate a bag of nonperishable food with a two-can minimum (or bring a bag; it all goes to Three Square Food Bank in Vegas). There’ll be food and drink too, by locals favorite Ricardo’s Mexican Restaurant. And you might recognize the judges’ names: Chris Kael of Five Finger Death Punch, BMX pro Ricardo Laguna, flight instructor Ray Kubiak and local radio personality Carlota.

Great Outdoors Enjoy the nice weather on the Las Vegas Strip, patio-style
Las Vegas can get very hot, but there is a time when the weather is absolutely perfect—like right now. So, grab a cocktail and hit the following places where you can imbibe and enjoy the beautiful weather. Rum cocktails, specialty cigars, hookahs, DJs and plenty of room to lounge—Rhumbar at The Mirage is a longtime staple on the Strip for outdoor fun. The specialty cocktail list is also reason enough to visit the bar and lounge; don’t pass up the Spicy Lover, one of the tastiest cocktails around. For multiple levels of partying under the sun, head to Margaritaville at the Flamingo. Transport to the islands with cocktail and food recipes to match. You can also chill on one of the two outdoor patios situated on the ground level and up on the third floor. A party vibe makes this 12,000-square-foot space with six bars the ultimate goodweather hot spot. With dancing, drinks and flair bartenders, Carnaval Court at Harrah’s has long invited tourists and locals to party from sunup to sundown. There are also blackjack tables. Live entertainment and DJs perform on the outdoor stage nightly. For something mellower with a chic twist, visit Vice Versa Patio & Lounge at the gaming-free and smoke-free Vdara resort. Enjoy handcrafted cocktails and small plates featuring everything from lobster tacos and truffle fries to loaded potato tots and beef sliders. And take in the intimate outdoor patio with fire pits and beautiful water feature. –Kiko Miyasato

Rapping Nostalgic You may not be familiar with the name Biz Markie, but just a few notes of the rapper’s off-key singing on his 1989 hit “Just a Friend” would probably be instantly recognizable, thanks to its nearly three decades of pop-culture ubiquity. Biz came up in New York City’s underground hip-hop scene in the 1980s, but his one big hit showed his softer, more cartoonish side. In the memorable video for “Just a Friend,” Biz dons an 18th-century-style wig, mimicking Mozart and lamenting his crush’s hook-up with another man. Biz has cropped up in guest appearances with artists including the Beastie Boys, Will Smith and Canibus. As a DJ, he’s served as Chris Rock’s opening act, and his current ’80s vs. ’90s tour features him spinning hits while tribute bands (in Vegas, it’s ’80s act 80’s Station and ’90s act Empire Records) perform between sets. Biz will be mostly behind the decks for this show, but if fans are lucky, they may get to hear some of his famous beatboxing—and even some of those memorably off-key notes. –Josh Bell

Wild and Crazy Two comic legends should amount to around 2,000 laughs—that’s surely a conservative estimate. And that’s what you’re in for at the cheekily titled An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life–i.e., a pairing of Steve Martin and Martin Short. Expect a comic mash-up as these two amigos take audiences along on their twin career retrospectives via stand-up routines, film clips, show-biz stories, musical numbers and banjo-plucking, the latter backed by Martin’s frequent road-show companions, the bluegrass ensemble Steep Canyon Rangers. Having met while making 1986’s Three Amigos! the two formed an enduring friendship based partly on good-natured needling. “We insult each other continuously.” Short told Conan O’Brien on his late-night show. For instance, at The AFI Salute to Steve Martin, Short nearly complimented his buddy. “There are very few people I truly admire,” Short told the star-

studded crowd, “and Steve Martin is very close to being one of them.” Not to be outdone, on O’Brien’s show, Martin shared vacation photos and stopped on one
with Short, his traveling companion. “Here I am,” Martin said, “spending time with St. Barts’ village idiot.” Feel the love. And relish the laughs. –Steve Bornfeld
Blooming Flavors With more than 15 years in Las Vegas, Michelin award-winning chef Michael Mina’s eponymous restaurant continues to blossom and excite just as the famed botanical gardens do that sit mere feet from its front doors. Begin with a longtime fan favorite, the domestic caviar parfait. Your fork easily slides through light layers of alderwood-smoked salmon, shallot potato cake, crème fraîche and caviar, in an interplay of crispy and velvety textures with a slightly salted and sweet finish. For your entrée, miso-glazed Chilean sea bass, topped
with a spoonful of trout roe, elevates traditional Asian flavors, with the caramelized sweetness of the marinade enveloping the fish. One of Mina’s most treasured dishes, the signature lobster pot pie, cooked in its own individual pan, draws attention as it’s wheeled from the kitchen and plated tableside. The pastryshell top is cut and removed, unveiling nearly two pounds of Maine lobster steamed in a black truffle brandy cream sauce. –Kiko Miyasato Bellagio, 5-10 p.m. Mon.-Sat. 702.693.8865
Candied Bacon Everyone knows Emeril Lagasse is famous for the phrase “Bam!” but after trying his irresistible appetizer, candied North Country farm bacon, at Table 10 at The Palazzo, the only one-word phrase you’ll be saying is “More!” Every slice is cut thick for a combination of crispiness and chewiness, coated with brown sugar and cayenne pepper and baked for 10 minutes. It’s served with bourbon barrel-matured maple syrup. Most appetizers are meant to be shared, but you may want to keep this one all to yourself.

Austin City Unlimited
Musical artist continues a rich blues heritage To label Gary Clark Jr. the next Jimi Hendrix or the latest savior to singlehandedly save the blues sells Clark short. The Austin native was playing fabled live venue Antone’s by the time he was in his mid-teens, having taken up the guitar after discovering Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Vaughan’s older brother Jimmie, a living institution known in Austin but known to the world as the guitarist for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, became a mentor, and Clark’s name became ubiquitous on the marquees of his hometown. His signature dirty overdriven sound and bridging of primordial blues-rock influences with music he grew up on—Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Outkast, Tupac, Biggie—practically created its own niche in

contemporary popular music. His 2012 debut Blak and Blu demonstrated his artistic diversity. Blessed with a smooth singing voice, he showed he was equally adept at delivering a sweet falsetto or shouting through a juke joint romp. International celebrity and career demands caused Clark to make a wise decision and bring it all back home for The Story of Sonny Boy Slim. Recorded at Austin’s Arlyn Studios and released in September, it quickly became Billboard’s No. 1 blues album. It opens with gospel-flavored “The Healing,” burns with sky-crying blues on “Grinder” and evokes Sam Cooke with an acoustic and harmonica on “Church.” It’s a rich chapter in a roots-music story that should have many more pages ahead. –Matt Kelemen

Many Adventures, Still a Stunner After more than 11 years on the Strip, Cirque du Soleil’s KÀ at MGM Grand continues to draw a constant, drawing capacity to its $165 million, 1,950-seat theater for 10 performances every week. It’s rare enough that any show lasts that long in Las Vegas, but KÀ has also maintained one-third of its original cast despite a rigorous schedule. Cast and crew are looking forward to many more years of relating the odyssey of a pair of twins who have been separated after an attack by sinister forces. Each twin goes on to have a series of adventures before reuniting at the end of the show. KÀ immediately distinguished itself from other Cirque productions thanks to an ambitious set design by the late Mark Fisher, perhaps most notably the ingenious hydraulics of the Sand Cliff Deck, which lifts into the air. The cast includes Noriko Takahashi; Jennifer Haight, who plays one of the twins at the heart
of the narrative; “acro-valet” Jason Zulauf; and brothers Sabú and Francisco Alegría, traditional circus performers from Mexico who defy danger on the “Wheel of Death.” –Matt Kelemen

True Throwback Perhaps you require an introduction to the classic Vegas aesthetic. Then you require an introduction to Matt Goss, who radiates it from every sultry-toned, velvet-voiced note. How fitting that Frank Sinatra would have turned 100, Goss—who gained fame with the British boy band Bros—continues to cultivate his next-gen Sinatra persona. With a ring-a-ding-ding singing style infused with a unique charm and swagger (dig the cocked hat to match the rakish voice), Goss uncannily recalls the Chairman of the Board. Backed by a nine-piece band (highlighted by a horn section) and a cast of sensual female dancers known as the Dirty Virgins (maybe that part isn’t quite Sinatra-esque), Goss updates Ol’ Blue Eyes standards such as “Luck Be a Lady” and “I’ve Got the World on a String.” While honoring that artistry, Goss also brings a smooth-as-brandy gloss to later pop hits including the Eagles’ “Hotel California” and Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” –Steve Bornfeld

Let’s Get Crazy Lions, Tigers and Panthers—Oh My! You can see some very big cats at Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat (plus splashy mammals). Created by the magic maestros, the garden/habitat is a haven for the rare, endangered animals to which the duo have devoted their lives and featured in performances. Within the garden, witness the exotic beauty of the royal white tigers of Nevada and white lions of Timbavati, Bengal tigers, and a black panther, among others.

Jason Tenner produces and stars in Purple Reign: The Prince Tribute Show, and people are amazed at how much the show feels like they are watching “The Artist” himself. Tenner said, “We cover the years of his biggest hits, 1981 to 1994.” The nonstop musical party keeps the focus on hits like “Raspberry Beret” and “Little Red Corvette.” “We attempt to stay as true to the form and artistry of Prince as possible,” he added. “Every player in the show loves Prince (his music).” –Penny Levin Westgate Las Vegas, 9 p.m. Wed.-Sun., $49$69 VIP plus fee, $89 Purple Velvet Package tax and fee included, 18+. 800.222.5361

Two to Rock Whether it is “A Horse With No Name,” “Ventura Highway,” “You Can Do Magic,” or “Lonely People,” the classic rock band America has had a definite and lasting impact on culture and the music industry. Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, high school friends in ’60s London, got together after graduation and formed America in 1970. They describe their music as a combination of Beckley’s melodic pop rock and Bunnell’s affinity for folk-jazz elements and Latin rhythms. America’s music is aimed at being uplifting with a positive
message. Beckley and Bunnell believe that music is “the international language.” Hits such as “Sister Golden Hair” and “Tin Man” are two more examples of tunes that are iconic to their brand. In 2006, America was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and on Feb. 6, 2012, the group was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Still going strong, America is currently on tour and will be delivering their special musical talents in Las Vegas for one night only at the Golden Nugget. –Penny Levin
Comedy With Kick Juggler and comic Jeff Civillico’s Comedy In Action show could easily be titled “Civillico In Action,” since that certainly describes his act. No two shows are exactly the same because he doesn’t really know what might happen. “It is a comedy show and spontaneous,” Civillico said. What you can expect is lots of interaction by audience members— he even has some of them directly participate in the stunts. His physical energy seems boundless and his zany personality endears him to audiences of all ages. –PL Flamingo, 5:30 p.m. Sat.-Wed., starting at $44.20 plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782

Suspend Disbelief Jan Rouven has performed an inestimable number of tricks on the path to Strip-headliner status, but it looks like a majority of his future escapes and sleight-of-hand demonstrations will be in Las Vegas. The German magician first arrived in Vegas in October 2009, performing some of the escapes from his current Tropicana show Illusions. Siegfried & Roy and Rouven struck up a friendship early in his Vegas career, and the duo would later give him their blessing in a benevolent way: They gave Rouven what is now one of the centerpieces of his act, Origami. Other illusions are more elaborate, including the Drill of Death, Puzzle of Life, a water tank escape and a double levitation. Costume changes are numerous, and when Rouven isn’t escaping demise by sharpened blades or making audience members nervous during a trick that involves paper bags and a knife, he’s dematerializing onstage only to appear seconds later in another part of the theater. –Matt Kelemen

From Day to Night
Afternoon brunch transforms to full nightlife experience Mellow music the first hour in. High-energy electronic dance music the second hour. A neon overload of bright glowsticks and vibrant laser lights filling the room. Over-the-top bottle service presentations. Explosive confetti showers. Girls and guys dressed to the nines in upscale attire. No, it’s not 2 a.m. at a club. It’s 2 p.m. and this is the scene at Lavo Champagne Brunch Saturdays. Now in its fifth season, the famed event continues to be the go-to place year after year giving partygoers in Las Vegas a daylife option from October through mid-March. To get the full party brunch experience, reserving a table for you and your party is the way to go to. First, decide what you’ll be drinking. Small- to medium-sized groups can go for a

$75 pitcher. Larger groups can double the price with the giant brunch bowl for $150. Cocktail concoctions include Get Kinky with Prairie vodka, Kinky pink liqueur, ginger beer and fresh citrus, while the Raspberry Lemonade—not your typical version—combines Effen vodka, Chambord black raspberry liqueur and fresh lemonade. Other drink selections include Mango Margarita with 1800 Silver tequila, Patrón Citrónge mango liqueur, fresh lime juice and agave nectar and the Bloody Mary pitcher made with Absolut Elyx vodka, San Marzano tomatoes and fresh grated horseradish. A wide selection of other specialty cocktails, red, white and sparkling wine options and bottle service to your liking are available on the menu, too, so be prepared to drink up.
Even though it’s a party, don’t forget about Lavo’s signature brunch items. Fuel up on the classic eggs Benedict with Duroc ham, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Add lobster into the equation with the lobster Benedict. Dive into the almond-crusted French toast with fresh berries and sliced bananas, a make-your-own omelet, or the sweet and savory fried chicken and waffles. Or go for a burger with the addicting truffle fries. March 12 marks the last chance to enjoy the Champagne Brunch before it closes for the season. So if you’re looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon, make sure to put Lavo on your to-do list. –Chanelle Hayes The Palazzo, party brunch begins at 2 p.m. Sat., 21+. 702.791.1800

Grilled oysters, Oyster Bar at Harrah's

It’s a familiar sight at the tiny Oyster Bar at Palace Station (702.367.2411): Lines of hungry patrons, sometimes 30 deep, waiting for seats to become available so they can begin digging into oysters, clams, gumbos and pan roasts. What’s most notable is that the eatery is open 24 hours a day and still has an almost constant line. But such is the power of the oyster bar in Las Vegas—promising the freshest seafood possible in the desert, and lots of it. And while you may have trouble getting a place to sit at Palace Station’s Oyster Bar, don’t sweat it—luckily, there are great oyster bars all over Las Vegas: Here are just a few. Palace Station isn’t the only one of the locals-oriented Station Casinos with options for oyster lovers. Find what you’re looking for—from seafood jambalaya and oysters on the half shell to fish and chips, gumbo and Alaskan king crab legs—at Texas Station Star Oyster Bar (702.631.1000), the Oyster Bar at Sunset Station (702.547.7777) and the newly opened Oyster Bar at Santa Fe Station (702.658.4900). Like Palace Station’s eatery, Santa Fe’s offers limited seating at the bar (25 people), which wraps around the open kitchen. You’ll find a few tables, too, as well as lobster rolls and tail-on bass. Another recently opened oyster bar, Brigg’s Oyster Co. at the locals-oriented Suncoast (702.636.7111), has all your favorites as well as a few twists on old classics. In addition to oysters and mussels (order a half-dozen or a dozen), enjoy ahi tuna tacos on wonton shells, seafood gumbo and lobster mac and cheese. And there’s an extensive sushi menu as well, featuring eel-topped rice bowls and spicy tuna hand rolls. The black-and-white décor at the intimate restaurant pops in its surroundings, really standing out, with a bar wrapping around the open kitchen, and banquette seating on the sides. Big Al’s Oyster Bar at The Orleans (702.365.7111) doesn’t just serve up oysters, clams and mussels—with its brick décor and atmospheric lighting, it’s a fun place to hang out, featuring both booth and stool seating. Best of all, its portions do not disappoint. Bring a big appetite,
Brigg's Oyster Co.
and be sure to save some room for the restaurant’s Boston clam chowder. If you want to satisfy your oyster craving while shopping, check out Oyster Bay Seafood & Wine Bar at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort (702.794.2929), where you get not only a wide selection of oysters but also Italian specialties like shrimp linguini and rigatoni Bolognese. Take advantage of the weather and dine on the patio. The Oyster Bar at Harrah’s (702.369.5000) is another small place with big appeal where you can find a variety of seafood, such as the eponymous oysters and tasty cioppino. Sometimes you just want oysters as the beginning to a great meal. RM Seafood at Mandalay Place (702.632.9300) has an enormous menu that reflects Rick Moonen’s commitment to sustainability. Start things off with steamed clams, caviar and shellfish platters from the raw bar. Then move onto the world-class Rick’s Seafood Gumbo or the crab ménage a trois, featuring a daily selection of crab, Alaskan king crab and Rick’s Signature Crab Cake.

Kirby Flores
Bartender finds success and a sweetheart Kirby Flores, a bartender at Harvest by Roy Ellamar at Bellagio, says to not let his young looks fool you. “I’m older than you think, and I’ve experienced a lot,” he said, laughing. Experience is definitely something this Philippines native has. When he moved to Las Vegas with his family more than 15 years ago, he set his sights on the Strip. His first job was bar porter at Bellagio’s pool in 2001. From there, it was sky’s the limit for Flores. “Only here in Vegas can you call bartending a career,” he said. Moving his way up the ranks, he bartended at various venues across Bellagio, even taking a graveyard room service shift at one point. When Harvest opened, Flores jumped at the chance. “I’ve bartended in a lot of differ-
46 3.6.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
ent places here, but bartending at Harvest, I get to learn about organic, farm-to-table, sustainable food,” he explained. “We try and match the concept of the restaurant—use fresh ingredients, cold-pressed juices made in-house.” Flores said by doing this there’s a big difference. “It’s extra work, but the taste is totally different. It’s more flavorful made from scratch.” Besides a successful career, Flores has also found love at Bellagio. “I met my fiancé eight years ago, when I was bartending at Fontana Lounge,” he explained. “She was a cocktail server. We started off just friends … and now, we’re going to get married.” It seems both life and career in Vegas are working out for Flores, all at the tender age of ... 38! –Kiko Miyasato
At Harvest, guests are given a touch pad that allows them to browse the list of cocktails that pack fresh ingredients and homegrown herbs into each recipe. For something different, try the Cranberry and Desert Sage Infusion. What’s particularly cool about this cocktail (created when ordered), aside from its unique presentation, is that the longer the ingredients mingle, the more the flavors will intensify. That guarantees a changing experience with each sip. The cocktail contains vodka, Leopold Bros. maraschino liqueur, cranberries, persimmon, kumquat, desert sage syrup, fresh lemon juice and white cranberry juice. –KM

Have Some ’70s Fun Suede is experiencing a big revival Many of this season’s current trends have been channeling fashion from previous eras, including the 1970s. Dozens of designers are using those classic boho shapes and fabrics, including bell sleeves, flared jeans, fringe, wide-leg pants, floppy hats and peasant dresses. But perhaps the biggest revival is suede. Some designers have experimented with colors, but most stayed true to sandy, neutral hues. Whether it be skirts, shorts, dresses or pants, suede is something you can find in almost every store. Go ahead, have some fun with a suede dress or wide-leg and super-flared pants, which cropped up in nearly every fall collection. It’s enough to prompt you to consider shelving your skinnies for a season. –Nicole Chandler

Waited on Hand and Foot
The Strip’s newest mani-pedi venue offers a luxurious experience If you’re planning to get a manicure and pedicure, think about escaping to the recently opened Nail Bar at Four Seasons. On the way to the hotel’s spa, you’ll find the stand-alone, upscale venue, bathed in beige and cream colors and accented with woodwork. The intimate space houses multiple pedicure chairs and manicure stations, and guests can choose from a menu of decadent mani-pedi treatments, including gel overlay for both hands and feet. For a truly indulgent experience, try the Four Seasons Signature pedicure—75 minutes of relaxation and rejuvenation. Sit back in your massage chair as the treatment gets underway, a series of steps to ensure soft skin and well-manicured nail beds. The noni fruit, good

for moisture and smooth skin, is used in both the sugar scrub and cream. Using a Clarisonic pedi brush, your feet receive extra exfoliation from the sugar scrub mixture, leaving the heel and bottom of the foot extra soft. For extra hydration, the cream is lathered on both feet, then wrapped to lock in the moisture. Your calves receive special attention, too, as the Clarisonic is used again to gently exfoliate. This massage of the lower leg seems to melt away tight muscles. After more than an hour of special attention, your feet and toes will feel and look fantastic. Next is picking a polish—choose from upscale brands in the latest trendy colors, sparkles and mattes. After dancing the night away, think about getting some relief with the Revitalizing Foot & Leg
Treatment. Feet are soaked in a seawater bath filled with rich minerals, then wrapped in a menthol gel masque. Enjoy the massage treatment concentrated on the foot and lower leg, too. To get hands and nails looking their best, try the Citrus Deluxe manicure. Hands receive a gentle citrus exfoliation followed by a warm paraffin wrap. The manicure includes a pressure-point massage to relieve tension. For that over-the-top glam experience, the Nail Bar offers each guest coffee, tea, Prosecco or water, served on a tray alongside green tea cookies. At the Nail Bar, it’s fingernail-to-toenail pampering done right. –Kiko Miyasato Four Seasons, 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.632.5302

Tom’s Urban celebrates a year of bringing an international experience to Las Vegas
Now celebrating its first year in Las Vegas, Tom’s Urban has managed to stand out among the Strip’s diverse offerings. The next-generation restaurant is sure to make any diner happy with a menu that stretches from street food to international fare, and a truly flexible schedule. Breakfast at 8 a.m.? Not a problem. A scrumptious cocktail at 3 a.m.? Yeah, they can do that, too. And in between, you get to enjoy some of the best people-watching views in town. It’s all courtesy of Tom Ryan, the chief concept officer behind the eponymous restaurant that now has three locations, with a fourth planned at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. By “We think that there’s a great opportunity for somebody Susan to reinvent places for next-generational customers to go and Stapleton have a good time,” says Ryan, who’s also the man behind well-known brand Smashburger, found from Massachusetts to California and in five countries. “We want to be the first, next or last part of a great night out,” he says, adding that a stop at Tom’s Urban should be part of a string of events. Breakfast might mean Urban Pop Tarts, homemade takes on the classic; filet mignon Benedicts; Treehugger Benedicts; salted caramel skillet French toast or vegetarian lemon-poppyseed-blueberry pancakes. World fare includes ginger chicken pot stickers, urban street tacos with butter-poached lobster and shrimp or housemade pork belly, Xiangxiang crispy duck wings or a carnitas Cuban sandwich. Diners can even order those pot stickers on a salad. Sweet potato fries, trendy crispy Brussels sprouts, cheddar polenta grits, a mini mac and cheese pot and fried dill pickles all come as sides. Sliders make the rounds, with everything from prime rib to shrimp and lobster. “Let’s not do normal food,” Ryan says of his approach to the menu. “Let’s do it in a way that’s not pedestrian.” That includes the slopper, part burger, part Southwestern dish with its pork green chili topped with queso fresco. Messy, indeed, but a memorable meal. Guests can even combine dessert and cocktails with a spiked shake in flavors such as the Fireball cinnamon, Kraken spiced rum salted caramel or Patron XO coffee. That long happy hour from 2 to 7 p.m. weekdays and from 10 p.m. until the lights go out Sundays through Thursdays brings $5 drinks such as Tom’s backyard lemonade, Moscow mules and margaritas, $5 bites and bottomless mimosas. New YorkRyan’s background as a food scientist and New York brand developer helped him “write the next 8 a.m.-1 a.m. Sun.-Thurs., 8 a.m.-3 a.m. Fri.-Sat. chapter” at brands such as McDonald’s and 702.740.6766 Pizza Hut. One thing his experience taught him is that each Tom’s Urban has to be a completely different experience. So even if a guest has been to the original in Denver or the second in downtown Los Angeles, he or she will find about two-thirds of the menu is different. The patio at the front of the resort has been a huge draw in Las Vegas. Even during inclement weather, they’re the first seats filled. “We’re constantly learning more how to optimize the consumer experience,” Ryan says.

Martin Kaye immerses himself in Jerry Lee Lewis for Million Dollar Quartet 56 3.6.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Nearly 60 years ago, Sun Records owner Sam Phillips brought a young, hungry Jerry Lee Lewis into the studio to play piano on a Carl Perkins recording session. Perkins already had a hit with “Blue Suede Shoes,” but Lewis’ star wouldn’t rise until the following year. As an impromptu jam began with the arrivals of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, some accounts describe Lewis as being the standout performer of the session that, 50 years later, inspired the musical Million Dollar Quartet. The character of The Killer inarguably infuses the stage show with the energy and braggadocio Lewis became famous for, and it was a role Martin Kaye was born to play. The Manchester, England, native has been playing Lewis for nearly five years, and was in the cast that kicked off the show’s run at Harrah’s in February 2012. “My agent told me about the audition and I went to see the show on Broadway,” says Kaye, whose father taught him boogie-woogie piano. “I had never heard of the show and I didn’t really know much about Jerry Lee Lewis at all, except for ‘Great Balls of Fire.’ So I went to see the show and I immediately sat up after the first song. I was like, ‘I need to play that role. That’s the role that I need to play right now.’ So I do feel like I was kind of born to play it.”

A Hard-Working Man Beck (Brooklyn Bowl, 702.862.2695) may have debuted with a single that came off to some as a novelty, but in the subsequent decades he’s established himself as one of the most versatile performers in popular music. With its goofy, catchy refrain (“I’m a loser, baby/So why don’t you kill me”), Beck’s 1994 hit “Loser” sounded like an anthem for slackers, but its creator proved himself to be anything
but. He’s remarkably prolific, with albums that encompass folk, hip-hop, rock and more, always providing something unexpected for his fans. He brings that eclectic portfolio to Brooklyn Bowl at The Linq Promenade on March 10. Over the years, Beck has collaborated with musicians ranging from Jack White and The Lonely Island to the Flaming Lips and Philip Glass. In 2012, he released Song Reader,
Entertainment Dining Nightlife Gaming Shopping Attractions Marketplace Resources Out & About
an album available exclusively as sheet music, with 20 original songs designed to be performed by other musicians. He’s currently working on his latest album and he released new single “Dreams” in June as an album preview. “Dreams” was designed to give Beck something new to play on tour, but he certainly has no shortage of material to draw from. Not bad for a slacker. –Josh Bell

Who-What-Where Caesars Palace headliner Mariah Carey hosted a party at 1 OAK in the Mirage. Carey was all smiles when she arrived at the nightspot shortly after midnight. She joined friends and family
as she settled into a VIP table behind the DJ booth while DJ Suss One played Carey’s hits, including “Touch My Body” and ”Obsessed. The Walking Dead stars Norman Reedus and Balthazar
Getty attended the appropriate Zombie Burlesque at V Theater in Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops. Houston Rockets star James Harden was with a large group of friends at N9NE Steakhouse.
Dion Returns to the Studio Celine Dion has resumed recording sessions in Studio at the Palms with longtime producer and sound engineer Humberto Gatica. In an Instagram photo he posted of the two of them at his piano, he wrote: “Yes, she is back. We are making beautiful music together. Music is the soul to the universe. Bravo, my friend. Love your courage.” “She is amazingly strong,” I was told when I checked on the rehearsals status. “Everything is going well with her. There is a huge void in her life without Rene, but she’s getting on with the process of living ... Returning to the stage, which is her real second home, and going back into the studio to finish her next album is what Rene told her to do.”

Hometown rocker Vince Neil raised a staggering—and record—$200,000 for our beloved charity Keep Memory Alive while filming new episodes of Celebrity Apprentice with action star and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger taking over the Donald Trump role in the board room. We won’t know the final result of his efforts until the new season airs in September. Planet Hollywood headliner magician Murray Sawchuck swept Instagram model and Facebook starlet Nikki Leigh off her feet with a Valentine’s Day gift that he turned into a viral video that hit 3.3 million-plus views in just two days. Murray’s floral bouquet wasn’t stunning, but when he produced a puppy out of a folded cardboard box, Nikki was “over the moon,” Sawchuck told me. Former Mayor Oscar Goodman said that he’s brought back “the broads” to his steakhouse Oscar’s Beef, Booze and Broads at the Plaza. “We’re back to living up to our slogan of beef, booze and broads,” he told me cheerily. “I’m probably the only person in America who can get away with political incorrectness by hiring them to keep customers company and call them by that name.”
