Liberty and justice ∑ The traffic passing the Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse on Las Vegas Boulevard includes a doubledecker tour bus. It slows to a stop, waiting for a light to change. Riders examine the scene on the sidewalk below: cowboys, ranchers, families and patriots, American flags. Cliven Bundy’s supporters hold up signs— “Ranchers lives matter” and “Honk for freedom.” A tourist snaps a photo. Bundy waits inside for his arraignment, the Bunkerville rancher indicted on 16 felony charges regarding his armed standoff with law enforcement in 2014 after refusing for more than two decades to pay grazing fees on public land. Into a megaphone, Assemblywoman Shelly Shelton tells the crowd the political prisoners— including Bundy’s sons and about a dozen others—are being held without bond, “chained to the walls” and must be freed. She begins to cry. “God is speaking to us. If we want to keep our liberty, if we want to keep our freedom, submit to God and ask for his guidance. Pray. That is our most powerful weapon.” Down the street, red and blue lights flicker atop a police surveillance trailer monitoring the protest. The crosswalk light changes, and the protesters face the cars with their signs, including: “Arrest LaVoy’s murderers.” Thara Tenney from Utah says her father, Robert LaVoy Finicum, was murdered by the government, that it was a political assassination. A leader in the recent occupation of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, along with Ammon and Ryan Bundy, Finicum was fired upon by federal agents and Oregon State Police at a roadblock. According to the Central

Oregon Major Incident Team’s investigation report, the OSP officers who fired the fatal shots said he’d reached for a loaded handgun (which some of his supporters dispute). He was a good man, Tenney says, then derides Common Core and Obamacare, praises Founding Father principles and talks about the spirit of liberty igniting in the hearts of each generation, adding, “I never imagined it would be my father’s blood watering the tree of liberty.”
Cliven Bundy’s sister Lillie Spencer tells the reporters clustered on the sidewalk to report the truth. What are the lies? “That they’ve done things wrong,” Spencer says of the prisoners. “They’re making us look like thugs. We are good people. We work for a living. We’re just standing up for our rights and our freedom. We’re not antigovernment. Cliven’s in there now. We want him out. He’s a good man.” They won’t be watching this on the news.

about it, but time and circumstances didn’t allow it to work out.” But a new venue did when longtime Word Up! organizer Renee Christy put Milligan and Mark Snyder in touch with Pour, a new coffeehouse in the southeast across from Sunset Park. For now, the three co-founders/co-hosts—Tara Phillips will also host and promote—are taking a back-to-basics approach with Word Up! Besides reducing the schedule to second and fourth Tuesdays, it will solely feature poetry and spoken word, from both guest performers—longtime Word Up! feature Ken Wanamaker and Battleborn Slam’s A.J. Moyer top the bill this week—and open-mic volunteers. Says Milligan: “We’re just trying to [focus on] what originally made Word Up! so great.” –Mike Prevatt

∑ Neon Reverb isn’t the only local cultural institution breaking its hiatus. Word Up!, the all-ages weekly event that gave poets of all pedigrees a stage for 12 years until a lack of independent coffeehouses and organizer fatigue prompted a break in 2014, returns March 22 as a bimonthly event. “One of the things I’ve heard over the last two years is, when is Word Up! coming back?” says Megan Milligan, who has been with the verse/spoken word/music event since its inception. “Even last year at one point we were thinking
because the media lies, they say. Tenney’s son plays on the courthouse steps in the sunshine. She says the armed militia protesting and pointing weapons at law enforcement near Bunkerville wasn’t a standoff. “They were asserting their First and Second Amendment rights. People are being murdered and wrongfully incarcerated by a tyrannical government.” But this is no surprise to her. “We believe in Last Days,” she says. “It’s been prophesized.” –Kristen Peterson

PYRAMID OF BISCUITS
SHOCK TREATMENT Could aggressively ignorant rhetoric reset America’s heart? BY STACY J. WILLIS
ture, abundantly evident here, or so I was joyfully thinking when a flatbed truck passed by bearing a sign that said, “The silent majority stands with Trump.” In a happy Irish fiesta full of dachshunds and vino, Trump’s isolationist tongue-wagging seemed misfit. I heard some onlookers talking about the angry, puerile political climate: “How did we get here?” one man said. I recalled the early days of shock culture, when media grandstanders who said whatever bombast was on their minds were referred to as shock jocks, not thought leaders. Most people understood that characters like Howard Stern and Don Imus were media personalities who would say whatever was provocative, offensive and irreverent simply to get attention, not because they were discerning or civic-minded. Now that attention-getting, in and of itself, is the most prized skill-set in America— indeed, the dominant currency, more powerful in the national dialogue
***** A few years ago I was standing inside UMC’s Emergency Room when a man experiencing cardiac arrest was rushed in on a gurney. He’d been sitting at a poker table when his heart’s normal rhythm suddenly became chaotic, and he stopped breathing. The medical team applied defibrillator paddles to the poker player’s chest to shock his heart, hoping to reset it. The human heart has a cluster of cells, the sinus node, that generates electrical impulses to stimulate the muscles to contract and pump blood. Sometimes, the impulses randomly go awry and cause the muscles to quiver, or do nothing at all, and that brings on sudden cardiac arrest. Shock can fix that. It’s worth noting that Americans first used shock to kill people rather than revive them. It goes back to the late 1880s, when the first streetlights were being installed in the U.S.
CIRCLE THE FOOD TRUCKS!
***** I realized before the parade that I’d gone many years without knowing much about St. Patrick, settling instead for vague associations of green stuff, shamrocks and beer. It’s the way we experience a lot of our lives, absorbing the loudest message without ever delving into details. So it turns out that while drinking beer at a parade in suburban Las Vegas, I was actually celebrating the death date of the patron saint of Ireland, who was born in Roman Britain in the 4th Century, kidnapped at 16 and taken to Ireland, where he was made a slave, worked as a shepherd, found God, escaped and returned much later to convert Irish pagans to Christianity. Some of those pagans, it seems, became metaphors for snakes. Thus, the story of Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland— which, due to its geography, wasn’t home to any actual snakes. I was shocked—shocked!—to learn that the Stormtroopers had nothing to do with it. I was disappointed that the dachshunds weren’t mentioned anywhere. And I was especially bummed that the Flintstones weren’t involved. It’s almost as if I was willfully, ferociously, ridiculously ignorant.
In addition to the tavern and the thrift store, there’s a new reason to stop by the Huntridge ShopA tasty new reason to visit the Huntridge strip mall ping Center at Maryland Parkway and Charleston Boulevard. Food Truck Fridays, a lunchtime foodtruck gathering, begins March 25 and repeats on Fridays through April 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Confirmed vendors include Blue Mahoe and its island barbecue, Korean hot-dog staple Buldogis Unleashed and comfort foodery Dazzling Bistro. And it’s possible that MTO Café, Soul Food Cafe Express and Sauced will participate. The effort is one of many by developer J Dapper to attract visitors and potential tenants to the strip mall, which he purchased last year. Dapper plans to add a mid-century facade and vintage-style signage, relocate the pharmacy and add a drive-through. Andrea Catalano of Dapper Companies says new tenants are in the works and still under wraps. “As we redevelop our properties in this historic part of Las Vegas, we want to do cool things like this to attract more people to the Huntridge area and to tap into First Friday and all the innovative things that are happening around us in Downtown Las Vegas,” Dapper says. –Kristy Totten

Stormtroopers marched on downtown Henderson Saturday. A few Jedi came along next, then some people dressed as purple grapes behind a mini Statue of Liberty holding a wine glass. On their heels was a legion of dachshunds, some wearing green tutus, scampering along to keep up with their kilt-wearing people. There were clowns in clown cars, and a lowrider tricked out with hydraulics, and I’m pretty sure but not entirely sure the Flintstones went by in their Flintstones car. We were on Water Street at Henderson’s 50th Anniversary St. Patrick’s Day Parade to celebrate the Christian missionary Saint Patrick, who, among other legendary feats, drove the snakes out of Ireland. In honoring him, we hoisted a morning Guinness to a pirate ship and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Nothing about this was shocking, of course; it was a parade. And it’s tough to shock anybody today anyway—we’re a richly diverse cul-
than education or well-considered ideas or empathy—we find ourselves parsing “schlong” rhetoric in a presidential election. It’s shocking, or it should be. And I wonder whether it’s shocking enough to cause a cultural reset.
and electric-company linemen were frequently being killed by accidental high-voltage shocks. Experimentation with new uses of electricity was ongoing, and such accidental deaths prompted one dentist to think electric shock might be a more humane way to execute people than hangings. He developed the electric chair using a modified version of the dental chair, and in 1890, the first execution by electric chair was performed on an ax murderer. (Some remarked that an ax would’ve been more humane.) It wasn’t until 1930 that an engineer invented the defibrillator, which was first used to save a human life in 1947. So, it took 57 years to go from shocking people to death to shocking them to life. Today, use of a defibrillator to reset the heart can increase the odds of survival by as much as 70 percent, but you’ve got to act fast. In the case of the poker player, it was too late.

o many factors have contributed to the runaway success of XS Nightclub at Steve Wynn’s Encore resort, according to the club’s senior executive director of nightclub operations, Yannick Mugnier, an essential team member who’s been behind the scenes at XS since day one. The club celebrates its seventh anniversary this week. “When we first opened it was a social environment where the DJ did not have the same measure of impact; he

was just there to perform,” Mugnier explains. “In 2011 we saw the beginning of a trend and we wanted to create the trend, so we made a switch.” That was moving the DJ booth to the center of the dancefloor, a seemingly simple transition that coincided with the rise of electronic dance music in mainstream consciousness and the elevation of the DJ to rockstar status. XS has stayed on top of music, entertainment and service trends by maintaining a fresh perspective. “The whole team contributes on a daily basis with new ideas on how to bring the customer here, and everyone here is consistently pushing to do new things,” Mugnier says. “It’s a daily challenge.”

evolution
The club built arguably the biggest DJ roster anywhere in 2012, pioneered the concept of the Nightswim party and, more recently, invested $10 million in technology and production upgrades, adding light, sound and theatrical effects that can make the luxurious indoor-outdoor space feel like a mini music festival. The changes go a long way in creating the feel of a new experience for customers, Mugnier says, and XS’ three-year reign atop Nightclub & Bar’s list of the country’s highest-grossing nightclubs proves it. “Now we want to celebrate our anniversary and say thanks to everybody in the industry who has contributed.” XS’ 7-year anniversary with Diplo at Encore, March 21. –Brock Radke

integrity based on what I appreciate and like,” he said. When Wild Youth was finally released in late January, Rolling Stone called it “surprisingly rich and varied.” After global mega-hits like “Leave the World Behind” and “Don’t You Worry Child,” it was almost as if the world didn’t expect Angello to go in different sonic directions. But he has, using melody more assertively and with infectious results, as on “Children of the Wild.” Wild Youth is stacked with the bigroom builds and high drama that have come to define the current EDM sound,

but Angello builds everything around warm, almost poppy song structures, and freely experiments with diverse influences on moody tracks like “The Ocean” and “Rebel Nation.” As he pushed the SHM sound to the forefront, Angello is once again changing the way our parties sound, in Las Vegas and beyond. Steve Angello at Omnia at Caesars Palace, March 19. –Brock Radke

n April of 2013, the Tony Hsiehbacked Downtown Project bought and renovated the old Gold Spike, previously known for cheap drinks and hotel rooms but mostly for its slot machines. After just a few weeks of work, the Gold Spike reopened with an updated bar and hangout spot—and without a single slot machine. In a highly unlikely transformation, a struggling Downtown Las Vegas

casino was flipped into a hip 24-hour hot spot, seemingly overnight. The move away from gaming was addition by subtraction. “The vision for when we purchased the Gold Spike was to have a co-working environment,” says assistant general manager Kristine Reynolds. With multiple bars, a casual eatery, free WiFi, DJs spinning nightly, traditional games like billiards in the “living room” and oversized games like beer

pong and Jenga in the breezy-cool backyard space, the Gold Spike doubles as a casual hang for the laptop set by day and a magnetic party spot at night. “Our thing is to be either first, unique or best. There are other bars here, but what we offer is something beyond having just a dance party and a bar,” Reynolds says. Since the Gold Spike has attracted the college-age crowd to Downtown Vegas, it was a natural fit when MTV went hunting for sites to film the 31st season of The Real World, which debuts
on March 17. After the hotel’s top floor was renovated as a stylish penthouse suite, the latest crew of strangers moved in for a 70-day shoot between October and December. “They’ve filmed a couple times in Vegas, and it’s always been at unique venues,” Reynolds says. While she can’t share exactly what she saw during filming, she’ll admit it was a fun time. “You’ll see when you start watching.” Gold Spike, 217 Las Vegas Blvd. N., 702-4761082, 24/7. –Leslie Ventura

very day feels like St. Patrick’s Day at Rí Rá, the warm, oldworld pub inside the Shoppes at Mandalay Place. It might be on the Strip, but the vibe is overwhelmingly authentic, perhaps due to the Victorian Shop bar that began its life in Ireland in the 1880s, just one of the pub’s living artifacts—the oak floor is imported from a whiskey distillery, and the 500-pound plaster statue of St. Patrick dates back to 1850.

This week, there may be no better place to celebrate the day when everyone is Irish. Rí Rá’s St. Patrick’s Day festival continues through March 19 with live music, Irish dancers, bagpipers, specials and giveaways. The Crooked Jacks, The Black Donnellys and Craic Haus provide the soundtrack to your many, many cold pints, and whether you stop by in the morning for a full Irish breakfast or for a classic supper of corned beef and braised cab-
bage, you’ll enjoy a rich holiday feast. And you’ll learn why this Vegas Strip venue is a favorite pub for locals, who get 40 percent off lunch and dinner on Fridays in March. Maybe every day is St. Patrick’s day here. Rí Rá Las Vegas at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702632-7771. Sunday-Thursday 8 a.m.-3 a.m., Friday & Saturday 8 a.m.-4 a.m.

as-car-PONE-ay! Spuh-GET-tee! Lemon REE-COAT-ta cookies! Chef Giada De Laurentiis’ pronunciation of some of her signature dishes is as charming, fresh and light as the flavors of the brunch menu at her first-ever restaurant at the Cromwell on the Las Vegas Strip. Giada does brunch Saturdays and Sundays, and while the regular lunch menu also is available then—antipasti, salads, sandwiches and pasta—it would be pazzo not to partake in the brunch tasting menu. The pre-fixe four-course option includes an assortment of pastries served with lemon butter and raspberry jam, an antipasti platter with Benedict-style deviled eggs, mini crostinis and entrée selections of Italian chicken and waffles with cacciatore sauce, salmoncake Benedict or baked sausage and eggplant lasagna. Absolutely save room for dessert, perhaps the best part. Choose from limoncello soufflé with buttermilk gelato, a leaning tower of chocolate and espresso, or the lemon ricotta cookie ice cream sandwich with raspberry and buttermilk gelato. Our must-have choices are the savory salmon-cake Benedict over a bed of perfectly sautéed spinach, the juicy chicken with the sassy cacciatore sauce and a crispy parmesan-and-chive polenta waffle, the light limoncello soufflé and the divine ice cream sandwich. There is always room for lemon and limoncello. Add Giada’s peerless views of the Strip and limitless mimosas, and it’s a brunch that De Laurentiis herself would declare, “Mag-KNEE-fico!” Brunch at Giada at the Cromwell, 855-442-3271, Saturday & Sunday 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. –Don Chareunsy

t translates to “act of faith”—or a public act of penance—and it’s synonymous with burning at the stake. Auto-da-fé was a punishment imposed during the Spanish Inquisition, and it’s also the name of Velveteen Rabbit’s standout new cocktail, a sacrilegious, tongue-in-cheek libation as sinister as it is delicious.
photogRaph by jon estRaDa
Owners and sisters Christina and Pam Dylag unveiled the cocktail in March, among 11 offerings on the bar’s new spring menu. Three years since Velveteen’s opening, the Dylags continue to set the standard by reinventing their eclectic, imaginative elixirs every season.

While the Spanish Inquisition hardly encouraged imbibing, this auto-da-fé most certainly does. With a brandy base and a delectable mixture of sugar and goat cheese, pomegranate-infused red-wine vinegar and a sprig of rosemary, the dessert cocktail is garnished with a communion wafer—as if it wasn’t blasphemous enough already. With it’s creamy texture and cheesecake-like richness the result is something reminiscent of eggnog, yet light and indulgent enough to be enjoyed all year. You won’t need to repent for drinking it, but it’s so good, you might want to. Velveteen Rabbit, 1218 S. Main St., 702-6859645; Monday-Saturday 5 p.m.-2 a.m., Sunday 5 p.m.-midnight. –Leslie Ventura

fter making a name for himself at groundbreaking Chicago venues the Aviary and Drumbar—and winning awards including Beverage Professional of the Year from the Chicago Tribune—Craig Schoettler landed in Las Vegas as Aria’s first resort mixologist. Schoettler has been at the forefront as MGM Resorts’ newest Strip property has steadily evolved into a peerless food and beverage destination, and now he’s taking on a fun, new challenge as MGM embarks on another mega-project. Beerhaus, set to open April 4 at the Park, the entertainment district adjacent to the new T-Mobile Arena, is being billed as a remix of the classic American beer hall. “Our objective is, if you like craft beer and you don’t want to sit in an environment where you have to wear a suit to go to dinner, this is your place. It’s a very open-air space,” Schoettler says. “And from a beverage standpoint, it’s important to me that everyone is equally excited about the experience. If you’re a beer geek but your friend is not, I don’t want your friend to feel out of her element. It’s something I don’t think we’ve seen on the Strip yet.”
photograph by jon estrada
Cool music, outdoor seating, fun food and a casual environment with 28 beers on draft and another 70 or so bottles— Beerhaus definitely sounds like something new. And Schoettler wants everybody to come, not just Vegas visitors exiting a show at the arena. How do you bring locals to the Strip? Pour local beers.

“We’re working on a collaboration with Sin City Brewing Company, and we’ll have everything from Joseph James to Big Dog’s to Crafthaus,” he says. “The breweries that have opened up in Las Vegas make some fantastic product, and there’s no reason we shouldn’t be showcasing them. But we’re not doing it just because they’re local. We’re doing it because they’re local and awesome.” –Brock Radke

British invasion Yuck frontman Max Bloom prepares for the band’s first Vegas gig You recorded February album Stranger Things at your parents’ house, and as a result basically spent no money on it. Tell me a bit about those recording sessions. I knew I wanted to self-produce a record and make it ourselves, and my parents’ is the only place I have access to that’s free and quiet. It’s quite tricky recording in a studio when you have things like time and money on your mind. It was quite easy to get in the zone and get carried away if we wanted to.

The third movie in the Divergent series wastes its premise and its stars By Josh Bell that it feels like the screenwriters are making it up as At the end of last year’s Insurgent, the second movie they go along, constantly inventing new terms for varibased on Veronica Roth’s Divergent series of YA scienceous groupings of characters. Tris, who heroically liberfiction novels, it seemed like the story of Tris Prior ated her society over the course of the first two movies, (Shailene Woodley) and her battle against her rigidly segends up with almost nothing to do, a pawn in the illregated dystopian future society had essentially wrapped defined plans of leaders played by Daniels, Naomi Watts up.

Sore loser Gymnastics comedy The Bronze celebrates an unpleasant, washed-up Olympian By Josh Bell The stereotype of a Sundance movie is an earnest, plaintive indie drama about existential angst, but The Bronze, which premiered in competition at the 2015 film festival, is proof that not even Sundance is immune to crass, predictable Hollywood-style comedies. Cowritten by The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch and her husband, Winston, The Bronze is the story of washed-up Olympic gymnast Hope Ann Greggory (Rauch), a foul-mouthed, unpleasant, self-centered jerk whose existence still revolves around her 2004 bronzemedal win. Hope’s life starts to turn around when she’s forced to coach a promisabccc ing young THE BRONZE gymnast (Haley Melissa Rauch, Lu Richardson) Haley Lu from her Ohio Richardson, Gary hometown. Cole.

The primary mode of humor in the Rauches’ screenplay is excessive profanity, but the novelty of seeing a Mary Lou Retton type swear profusely wears off quickly. The movie is smugly self-congratulatory in its efforts at both edginess and sentimentality, while succeeding at neither. Aside from an amusingly over-the-top sex scene, nothing in The Bronze is as shocking or as funny as it’s made out to be. It’s as desperate and empty as the life of its protagonist. –Josh Bell

N ow p l ay i n g 10 Cloverfield Lane aaabc Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, John Gallagher Jr. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg. 105 minutes. Rated PG-13. Despite the title, this isn’t a sequel to 2008’s Cloverfield, but it’s a thriller with similar themes. Winstead and Goodman are both strong as two people hiding in a bunker after what appears to be the apocalypse. Director Trachtenberg keeps the tension high, filming mostly in a handful of cramped spaces. –JB Theaters citywide. The Brothers Grimsby aaacc Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Strong, Penelope Cruz.

Deadpool aaacc Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein. Directed by Tim Miller. 108 minutes. Rated R. The long-in-the-works movie starring sarcastic, ultraviolent Marvel Comics anti-hero Deadpool (Reynolds) is vulgar, gory and self-aware. In between his dirty jokes and self-referential insults, Deadpool participates in a fairly familiar superhero origin story. Only about half the jokes land, but the enthusiasm of the production makes up for the rest. –JB Theaters citywide. London Has Fallen abccc Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman. Directed by Babak Najafi. 99 minutes. Rated PG-13. As the lone badass protecting the president from a massive terrorist attack, Butler isn’t funny enough to handle the screenplay’s lame quips, and isn’t relatable in any other way. Otherwise, there’s bad CGI explosions and Oscarnominated actors with barely any dialogue, as well as Freeman as the vice president. –JMA Theaters citywide. Spotlight aaaac Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams. Directed by Tom McCarthy. 128 minutes. Rated R. Director and co-writer McCarthy’s drama about the Boston Globe reporting on the Catholic Church molestation scandal applies the same meticulous attention to detail as the Globe writers did in their reporting. The stars manage to turn sitting and listening into riveting drama, and the acting is powerful in how subdued it is. –JB Regal Green Valley Ranch, Century Suncoast. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot aaabc Tina Fey, Margot Robbie, Martin Freeman. Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. 105 minutes. Rated R. Fey finds a perfect middle ground between sarcasm and vulnerability as war correspondent Kim Baker, reporting from Afghanistan in the early ’00s. WTF isn’t a political movie, and it smartly balances its wider concerns with Kim’s personal journey, which never comes across as phony or self-important. –JB Theaters citywide. The Witch aaaac Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie. Directed by Robert Eggers. 90 minutes. Rated R. Set in 1630, Eggers’ Sundance sensation turns the 17th century itself into a place of horror, using archaic dialogue lifted verbatim from historical documents. The film terrifies not with hackneyed jump scares, but with a dark vision of a world so divorced from our own that it might as well be another planet. –MD Regal Village Square; Century Orleans, Sam’s Town. The Young Messiah (Not reviewed) Adam Greaves-Neal, Sean Bean, David Bradley. Directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh. 111 minutes. Rated PG-13. Exploring the early life of Jesus Christ, starting at age 7. Theaters citywide. Zootopia aaabc Voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba. Directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore. 108 minutes. Rated PG. Disney’s latest animated feature is a winning, gorgeously animated story about anthropomorphic animals living in relative harmony in a bustling metropolis. The team-up between a police officer rabbit and a smalltime criminal fox provides a thoroughly engaging mystery with some satisfying twists and turns. –JB Theaters citywide. JMA Jeffrey M.

Relaunched and reinvigorated
Good to see (and hear!) you again, Neon Reverb By Spencer Patterson

ing to traverse the distance between, one reason, perhaps, organizers sold more all-festival wristbands (priced reasonably at $50) than ever before. Another: the strength of the Downtown Project/Zapposfunded lineup, topped by hot touring acts like Ty Segall, Neon Indian and Beach Slang. Those three names sold well— Neon Indian most of all, filling 750-capacity Fremont Country Club on Friday—as did Sage Francis, Chuck Ragan and Moving Units. Others, like heavy-rock veterans Melvins, did not, a reminder that Reverb’s reach remains relatively small in a Valley of more than 2 million residents. And
maybe that’s okay. Neon Reverb isn’t South by Southwest, and it shouldn’t aim to be. Good luck getting 10 feet from the stage for Beach Slang in Austin this week. Kudos to those in charge for keeping Reverb’s shows on time, by and large, a bugaboo at past editions. More thought could be given, however, to staggering showcase schedules to encourage even more of the walkingtour feel from Saturday, when true music seekers toggled between venues and sonic styles all night. Individually, Segall won the week-
end for me, dropping a devastating set Sunday I’ll speak about for years. But my MVP award goes to the Vegas scene, for reconfirming its depth and diversity. In one weekend, I caught 17 local acts, from new-to-me bands like The Musket Vine, Special K and China to pillars like Same Sex Mary, Rusty Maples and the inestimable Mercy Music. Taking all that in, it felt like Neon Reverb picked the exact right time to relaunch. Note: The Weekly is Neon Reverb’s exclusive media sponsor.

Neon Reverb has always been Las Vegas’ Little Festival That Could, and last weekend it proved it could do something new: come back strong. The pioneering indie-music gathering returned for its 11th edition after a three-year break, and though Downtown looks far different than when Reverb left the scene, the revived fest fit in much the same, presenting four nights filled with quality performances. No longer way out on Fremont East’s eastern fringe, the anchoring Bunkhouse feels closer to Seventh Street’s Beauty Bar/Backstage Bar & Billiards/Fremont Country Club hub, and Reverb-goers seemed more will-

IGGY POP BY CHRIS PIZZELLO/AP
UNDERWORLD Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future AAABC Before there was big-room EDM, there was Underworld. Its dance music made actual dancing difficult because there were performers like vocalist Karl Hyde to watch, and its signature sound compelled one to react as if a favorite sporting team had just won a crucial game. Witnessing it live was (and still is) a reminder of what commercial club fare lacks: artful music, songcraft depth, original rhythms and genuine emotion. ¶ After the dance-tent vets reissued and toured their 1994 breakthrough, Dubnobasswithmyheadman, they took their enthusiasm and channeled it into this ninth studio album. Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future is less celebratory and more introverted than 2010’s Barking, though it’s hardly restrained. It equally reveals references to the duo’s past (the Krautrockian “I Exhale” dips back into its more guitar-centric past), inspiration from other artists (“If Rah” recalls a less coy LCD Soundsystem) and studio experimentation (the flamenco-flavored throwaway “Santiago Cuatro”). While this means Barbara is sonically all over the place, its spirit and artistry is consistently and undeniably Underworld. Nowhere is this more evident than on stunning closer “Nylon Strung,” which boasts peak-hour hooks, beats and feels minus the EDM hackery. More than two decades later, Hyde and Smith remain the electronic music standard-bearers. –Mike Prevatt

Pitbull returns to the Axis to unleash more Time of Our Lives By John Katsilometes
they’re fun to watch, bedecked in knee-high boots and varying sequined bustiers. A five-piece band—powered by a percussionist, bassist, drummer and a pair of keyboards—keeps the beat moving all night. Musically, Pitbull rolls out an impressive collection of club hits that leave you thinking, “I didn’t know that was a Pitbull song.” In a highly anticipated moment, Axis co-inhabitant J.Lo turned up for “On the Floor,” (Pitbull had appeared during the premiere of the video). Pitbull swaps lines with Marc Anthony on “Rain Over Me” and Christina Aguilera on “Feel This Moment.” Artists sampled in the show include Ozzy Osbourne (“Crazy Train”), Phil Collins (“In the Air Tonight”), Survivor (“Eye of the Tiger”), Guns N’ Roses (“Sweet
Child o’ Mine), The Sugarhill Gang (“Rapper’s Delight”) and Nirvana (“Smells Like Teen Spirit”). It wasn’t merely a musical extrasensory experience, though. Using his celebrity to make a clear political statement, Pitbull called out to the various ethnicities in the audience, then said, “We gotta make sure Trump doesn’t become mother-f*cking president of the United States!” The show ended in a flurry of confetti, and someone who knows numbers remarked that the cleaning bill for the current Pitbull residency would exceed $70,000. Hey, it’s a small price to pay for a man whose appeal can be explained with the refrain of one of his biggest hits: “You Really Want Me.” Pitbull knows it, and he wears it well.

Stick with the top seeds
> jayhawk joy Wayne Selden Jr. and Kansas are the tourney’s top overall seed.
And other observations on this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament By Case Keefer Many are calling this year’s tournament “wide open,” a description heard frequently that rarely proves accurate. Only twice in the past decade has a team won the tournament without entering as a No. 1 seed, which is good news for Kansas, North Carolina, Virginia and Oregon. The only exceptions: the title runs by traditional power Connecticut in 2011 and ’14. The Huskies are a No. 9 seed this year, with a potential matchup against top-overall seed Kansas looming in the round of 32.
Cinderella exists, but she usually goes home early. For eight years running, at least one team seeded 12th or higher has won a first-round game in the tournament, but those teams have
Beware the Big 12, one way or another. For the third straight year, it’s considered the strongest conference in the country headed into the tournament, but it has failed to live up to that distinction the past two years. The Midwestern conference’s teams have gone a combined 11-14 (and 8-17 against the spread) in 2014 and ’15 tournament games, and over the past decade, the Big 12 has produced just two Final Four berths, by Kansas in 2008 and ’12. Two contenders were almost totally unforeseen by bookmakers earlier in the year—No. 1 seed Oregon and No. 2 seed Xavier. The Ducks were 100-to-1 to win the title at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook for months before emerging as Pac-12 champions. They’re now 15-to-1. And the Musketeers opened 200-to-1 before trimming by winning 16 of their first 17 games. Their price is currently 25-to-1.

A non-No. 1 seed to watch is No. 4 seed Kentucky. Love or hate him, coach John Calipari has achieved historic postseason success since arriving in Lexington, reaching at least the Elite Eight in all five of his NCAA Tournament appearances with Kentucky, making four Final Fours and winning one championship. By comparison, potential Sweet 16 opponent North Carolina hasn’t notched a single Final Four during the same span.
typically fizzled out immediately afterward, going 8-28 (and 16-20 against the spread) in later rounds. Plus, six of those eight victories have come when No. 12 and 13 seeds have squared off in round of 32 games.

Another delicious discovery
Yakitori and sushi spot Hachi pops up in an already stacked strip mall By Brock Radke After a stunningly delicious first meal at Hachi, a restaurant that opened last fall in the Mountain View Plaza on Jones just off Spring Mountain, I was full of questions. How is it possible that tremendous and interesting Japanese restaurants keep opening up all the time? Who would have imagined Raku would be only one of several brilliant izakaya-style eateries along the Chinatown drag? And how is it possible two newish yakitori spots, Hachi and Haza, can
30W LasVegasWeekly.com March 17-23, 2016
coexist just across the street from each other? And most importantly, can we now admit out loud that the larger, more diverse Mountain View Plaza is the true Asian-restaurant-strip-mall champion, beating out the smaller Seoul Plaza on Spring Mountain? Too many great Asian restaurants is a great problem to have. Along with Asian BBQ & Noodle, Chada Thai & Wine, China Mama, District One and HK Star, Hachi will keep us coming back to Mountain View Plaza for its terrific yakitori meat and vegetable skewers cooked over binchotan charcoal and sublime sashimi and carpaccio plates. You can find much of this menu at other local Japanese restaurants, but few Chinatown-area dining destinations offer Hachi’s sleek, refined decor, an impressive renovation of a building that used to be a divey sushi bar and, before that, a Vietnamese joint. Hachi’s owners also operate Sushi Twister on Boulder Highway and Ramen Sora on Spring Mountain, but this new project feels like a hidden gem with its cozy booths, natural finishes, handsome sushi bar and glass-encased
private dining room. A nicer restaurant stands out HACHI around here, but it wouldn’t matter 3410 S. if the food weren’t great. Hachi’s is. Jones Blvd., Start cold with the sashimi sampler 702-227($26), comprising thick tiles of fresh 9300. Daily, fish, and the scallop carpaccio ($10) 5:30 p.m.topped with masago, cherry tomato 2:30 a.m. and micro cilantro with olive oil, white soy and yuzu miso. There’s also a special nigiri “all-star” plate—maybe that’s just what I call it—with fatty otoro, halibut, scallop and uni, definitely worth four bites. Hachi has a big, broad menu that includes most of your Japanese favorites, ramen to yellowtail collar, menchi katsu (deep fried ground pork) to sukiyaki hot pot. But consider a bottle of cold beer or sake and many smoky grilled skewers of chicken thigh, pork cheek, Wagyu beef and tender duck ($2-$5 per skewer). These addictive meat morsels are imbued with smooth, delicate flavor from that special charcoal, seasoned lightly and served with various dipping sauces that aren’t really necessary because the meats are so good. These skewers, and other smaller dishes like karaage fried chicken thigh ($5.50) and grilled whole squid ($6.75), are the most popular plates here, along with sashimi favorites like jalapeño yellowtail ($10). I’m still not sure how Las Vegas lucked into so many great Japanese restaurants, but I’m certain Hachi has earned a solid spot in my personal rotation.

ON THE HUNT
Fries with that Poutine is all over town, and that’s a gravy-good thing
Poutine, the simple, fast-foodish plate of French fried potatoes with cheese curds and brown gravy that allegedly originated in Quebec, has taken over Las Vegas in recent months. This is both alarming (first signs of a Canadian invasion?) and reassuring (the most obviously delicious food ever?). Whether you’re scared or drooling, probably the best place to start your local poutine hunt is Smoke’s Poutinerie (Pawn Plaza, 702-823-4555), the first local installation of a popular Canadian chain. You don’t have to get the traditional version ($5-$11); you could get crazy and try the bacon-sausage-mushroom-caramelized onion poutine or the spicy chicken inferno ($9-$13). The first great Vegas poutine I discovered was at Naked City Pizza Shop (two locations, nakedcitylv. com), which uses fresh mozzarella and super-savory beef-stock gravy ($5-$7). Fancy hot dog shop Haute Doggery (Linq Promenade, 702-430-4435) does a decent discounted version ($5) with just-right crispy fries. Its big brother restaurant Public House (Venetian, 702-407-5310), still one of the best versions of a gastropub we have in Vegas, does an allout upgrade: beautifully tender duck confit, chunky curds and rich stout gravy ($13), with the irresistible option of added fried egg ($2.50), and why not? If there’s a truly Vegas’d-out poutine, it’s gotta be the one at the Barrymore (Royal Resort, 702-4075303). Somewhere between ideal steakhouse side dish and old-school Vegas kitsch, the poutine “Oscarstyle” ($22) tops the taters with lump crab meat, asparagus and béarnaise. Maybe it breaks the rules by subbing out the gravy, but how do you not order this? Since St. Patrick’s Day happens this week, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Rí Rá (Mandalay Place, 702-632-7771) and its Irish-pub overhaul of poutine. We’ve been eating chips and curry ($9) at the bar with beers for years, but the pub poutine ($14) takes those same, perfect, hand-cut potatoes and lovely curry sauce and adds sizzled lamb, rosemary and goat cheese. This doesn’t seem very Canadian at all, eh? Sure is good, though. –Brock Radke
Chicago meets Mexico When I first heard of Chicago Style Taco Shop, I didn’t understand. Do they serve deep-dish tacos? Is the al pastor topped with giardiniera? After eating there, I still don’t understand what “Chicago-style” means in reference to Mexican food. When I asked the proprietors, they told me the concept originated in the Windy City, and certain meats like cecina, which is thinly sliced, salted steak, are quite popular in Illinois. Grilled yellow tortillas are also a Midwestern choice. And the overall influence of the food is from the Mexican states of Michoacán and Jalisco. I’ll take their word for it. The food is tasty, and that’s all that really matters. The usual assortment of tacos is offered, along with the aforementioned

Crinkle-cut fries are topped with your choice of two meats (for instance, classic carne asada and sweet barbacoa). Pico de gallo, sour cream, Cheez Whiz and guacamole finish this monster off. The fries are crisped right to handle the rest of the show. Chicago influence or not, there’s a reason you’ll find a line at lunchtime. This is just good food. –Jason Harris
