Bryan Cheatham Getting intimate with 53X
The man is sexy and talented. He’s been bringing sexy to Chippendales The Show at Rio for years. Now Bryan Cheatham brings his talents and his knowledge of what’s hot to 53X, the new adults-only show at Paris. As the show’s artistic director, Cheatham has created a show that speaks to both sexes, especially couples, he says, and the intimate venue only adds to the overall experience. He recently sat down with Las Vegas Magazine’s Kiko Miyasato to discuss the show in more detail. First things first. How did you come up with the name 53X? What does it mean? It’s code for “sex.” So, if you, back in the day, you wanted to send somebody a message, the code: the “5” stands for “S,” the 3 stands for “E” and the “X” is for “X.” What makes 53X stand out from other adults-only shows in Las Vegas? What set us apart is it’s for everybody. We don’t have a target audience. I want everyone to be able to come to the show. Was it harder to create the new show ... than doing Chippendales The Show? For me, it’s easier, because I have a lot more to play with. With Chippendales, I only have guys, and they have to pretend that possibly there’s a girl there (and) do a solo scene. But, with 53X, I have guys and girls. So, one of my favorite scenes is (where) we have this fantastic chaise lounge scene and it’s a scenario of a husband being out of town, gone for work, and he comes home to his wife laying on the chaise lounge and seducing him. So, because I have both male and female cast members, I’m able to act out these fantastic scenes and let the audience be a voyeur into their lives.
24 4.10.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
What was you role as artistic director—did you create every scene in the show? Yes, I created every scene. I brought in a choreographer, Enrique (Lugo). He’s really good at technical dance. But every scene started in my head about eight months ago. I get inspired by music. I’ll hear the song and I’ll see the scenario in my head and I’ll jot it down and make notes. That’s how I come up with the numbers. How long have you been in a creative, artistic role? Of course, I’ve been entertaining for the past 20 years—my background is theatrical— Broadway, revues. But the creative side was five years ago when I started creating numbers for the European tour. That was successful. Then I went to redo the Chippendales show, and it’s been a hit. So, when Kevin Denberg (managing partner of Chippendales) came to me with this new project, I was ... like “Let’s do it, bring it on!” Can you talk about the show a little more? Here’s the thing that I want everybody to know: the show is focused on fun. And I’d also like to call it sexy fun. You’re going to come and have a good time; you’re going to laugh; you’re going to get turned on, and turned out
(laughs)! We hope people leave with a few ideas to take back home to their special someone. We hope you come if you’re single to meet other singles. After the show, we all go out to the beer garden or the nightclub and talk about the show. I heard there’s some audience participation in 53X. How far does that audience participation go? It goes pretty far, it does (laughing). Some of the audience will be taken backstage if they’re
bad and they will be dealt with appropriately. If anyone has anything to celebrate, we acknowledge that and celebrate. It’s a great place for a birthday; the birthday person gets up onstage. Like I said, it’s a party, it’s fun and it’s sexy. How can you not get turned on by the half-naked girls and guys (laughing)? They are stripping down, they reveal ... they are very free with their bodies. The cast is on a strict diet and workout; my girls and my guys look fantastic!

And of course, thousands of flowers make those scenes complete.
Brewing Up a Great Experience
One of the West Coast’s premier beer brands, Firestone Walker, teams up with Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at the MGM Grand at 6:30 p.m. on April 15 for an unforgettable beer-pairing dinner. Enjoy a pilsner paired with spicy Korean pepper shrimp and chilled vermicelli noodles, or try a saison with Maine sea scallops and braised pork belly. For dessert, pair the limited-release Firestone XIX Anniversary Ale with a maple syrup chocolate pecan cake with bourbon-glazed apples. You won’t want to miss this treat. Tickets are $97. For more information, call 702.891.7374. In our March 27 issue, Las Vegas Magazine erroneously ran an advertisement for SkyJump at Stratosphere, outlining an expired offer. The correct Stratosphere ad runs in this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Despite the influence he ended up having over Las Vegas, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel was with the Flamingo for only six months when he was shot to death at his girlfriend’s Beverly Hills, Calif., home in 1947. Donny & Marie have the longest-running active residency on the Las Vegas Strip. The sibling duo have been performing for nearly 8 years at the Flamingo. Nevada’s Black Book, which contains the names of those who are banned from any gambling activity, is serious business. Once your name is in the book, if you enter a casino, you could be facing up to a year in jail. Oscar Goodman, who served as Las Vegas’ mayor from 1999 to 2011, always spoke his mind. When a group of 4th graders asked him what he’d take with him to a desert island, he replied, “Gin.”

Couples-friendly activities will excite—and relax Be they heart-pounding or relaxing, romantic or revitalizing, these Las Vegas activities let you and your sweetheart get more out of your couples time. Get the heart racing while sitting side by side on the VooDoo ZipLine at Rio. You’ll zip from Rio’s Masquerade Tower to the Ipanema Tower 800 feet across the way at nearly 500 feet in the air. With zipline speeds of up to 33 mph, the thrill goes quickly, but a return trip backwards is slower, offering awesome views of the valley. If you’re the couple looking for even more thrills, trek over to New York-New York and take another ride, this time on a roller coaster, The Big Apple. Strap in next to your boo and hold on as the coaster rides the rails at up to 67 mph, dipping into a 180-degree twist and dive maneuver. Slow things down when you and your sweetie hop aboard a gondola ride at The Venetian. Gently glide down the canals surrounded by shops and cafes, or take it outside and float along the waters Stripside, while your gondolier serenades you with Italian love songs. If you and your sweetie really, really want to slow things down, indulge in ultimate pampering at Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace. The spa offers an impressive couples menu of treatments. Be adventurous and try the Kama Sutra with Shirodhara. After antioxidant-rich exfoliation, the couple enjoys a private shower for two followed by a massage using pure aphrodisiac massage oils. –Kiko Miyasato

Singing Sensations Terry Fator is one 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 mouths of Fator’s famous cast of puppets. Roy Orbison coming out of Fator’s mouth? Impressive. Roy Orbison from the mouth of Winston the Impersonating Turtle? Gold! And that’s precisely the reaction Fator wants. Every single puppet comes from the deep reaches of his imagination, each one the embodiment of whatever voice he feels like throwing at the moment. It’s not just the voices; Fator wants his audience to connect with every character—because in a way, they’re part of who he is. –Ken Miller The Mirage, 7:30 p.m. Mon.-Thurs.

You can call New Jersey’s own DJ Hollywood the Mr. Las Vegas of nightlife. The DJ has been a prominent figure in Sin City’s bustling nightlife scene for more than 20 years, spinning at longgone venues such as RA and Pure. And his name suits him—he’s spun at high-profile parties for A-list celebs and worked with music legends Paul van Dyk, Tiësto and Grandmaster Flash. He’s quite the mover and shaker of Las Vegas, too; he has had his own radio show for six years. This Friday, he jump-starts the weekend back-toback at Foxtail nightclub. –CH SLS Las Vegas, 10:30 p.m. April 15-16, cover charge applies, 21+. 702.761.7619

You’re not dreaming—surreal visions notwithstanding. You’re KÀ-ing. And if you’ve got vertigo, grab your seat-rests as that vertical stage transforms into an enormous tilt-a-whirl—eventually standing straight on end—as performers scamper up, down and try to hang on. One of Cirque du Soleil’s most vigorous exercises in athletic mysticism, KÀ was named for the Egyptian idea of ka. Brought to theatrical life in a massive theater by 80-plus artists—chockfull of acrobats, dancers, projections, puppetry and martial arts—KÀ tells the tale of “the coming of age of a young man and a young woman.” Translation: gravity-defying action (driven by a dramatic soundtrack) as spear-toting warriors track the royal brother and sister, who wind up separated, with sister fleeing on a boat caught in a violent storm and escaping danger on a flying machine. Brother is helped along by a member of the court. On their journey, they
encounter massive sea creatures, learn about shadow puppets and experience the Wheel of Death. Bottom line: a feast for the senses that plays with your spatial perceptions, creating the
illusion of a deep abyss with essentially a stageless stage of giant revolving platforms—with lots of colorful, human moving parts. So hang on—you’re not dreaming. –Steve Bornfeld

The 21-and-over pool has many amenities to choose from, starting with cabanas equipped with overhead misting system, chaise lounges, plasma TV, built-in speakers, refrigerator, your own cabana host and server and complimentary sliced fruit and veggie dish. For those looking to really soak in the upscale lifestyle, roll right from your room out
to the pool deck when you book one of the 18 cabana rooms. Other amenities include lily pad and poolside daybed rentals. A center bar seats more than two dozen guests and you can order everything from draught beer to frozen and signature cocktails. There’s also the REQ Room, an indoor, air-conditioned hangout with pool tables and games. Weekly parties and specials include Champagne Sundays, DJ competitions and a reggae-inspired party. Who’s ready to splash right in? –Kiko Miyasato
The Piggie DB Brasserie at The Venetian turns 2 this year, and to celebrate the occasion, chef-owner Daniel Boulud is bringing back his signature burger: The Piggie. This meat-lover’s delight features a 7-ounce Angus beef patty topped with house-made barbecue pulled pork, jalapeño, Boston lettuce and mustard-vinegar slaw, all on a cheddar bun. To make this birthday just a bit sweeter, Boulud is pairing it with a great local beer: Resinate IPA from Crafthaus. But hurry—this burger is only available during April.

Bringing Back the Party Experience LAX nightclub has welcomed celebrities and tourists to party together since its 2007 arrival. And while the venue has received a facelift and reprogramming throughout the years, the new look and feel has only added to its great history. With a large redesign—a change in color scheme, furnishings, lighting and sound systems, and expanding the square footage for the DJ booth, VIP tables and dance floor—it was at the very end of 2015 that a plan was put in place to rejuvenate and refresh LAX and its offerings. But besides the cosmetics of the club, for Anthony Olheiser, executive director of brand activation, the largest concentration is on the party. “There’s so many people that come to Las Vegas to party, but there’s this group of folks that all they want is a quality nightlife experience,” he says. “My goal is to go back to what clubs were back in the day, when it was really about the

Anyone who’s seen the London-born, dragon-costumed comedian/magician knows his personality is built on a foundation of dour, deadpan ’tude. “Here, hold him,” he tells an audience member as he hands over his sidekick, a Chihuahua named Mr. Piffles. “If he gives you trouble, just punch him in the face.” Over the course of his show he blends crowd riffing, zingers and audience-assisted magic into a truly weird entertainment brew. –Steve Bornfeld
With Purple Reign: The Prince Tribute Show, audiences are amazed at how much the show feels like they are watching “The Artist” himself. Jason Tenner, who produces and stars in the production, said, “We cover the years of his biggest hits—1981 to 1994.” The musical party keeps the focus on hits like “Raspberry Beret” and “Little Red Corvette.” The raw energy of Prince is depicted by Tenner. “We attempt to stay as true to the form and artistry of Prince as possible.” –Penny Levin Westgate Las Vegas, 9 p.m. Wed.-Sat., $49$69 VIP plus fee, $89 Purple Velvet Package tax and fee included, 18+. 800.222.5361

Get a Feel for Southern Fare
A Powerful Reunion When the members of R&B duo Floetry separated in 2006, it wasn’t necessarily big news in the music world, but singersongwriters Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart had an influence that went beyond just their three albums and Grammy-nominated single “Floetic.” After meeting at a performing arts high school in London, Ambrosius and Stewart combined their skills in music and poetry to develop a unique sound, which they brought to the U.S. in 2000. They were important figures in the neo-soul movement that included artists like Erykah Badu and India Arie, and as songwriters they worked on tracks for Jill Scott, Bilal and even Michael Jackson.
Now more than a decade after the release of their third album, Ambrosius and Stewart have put their thriving solo careers on hold to return to Floetry. After Ambrosius invited Stewart onstage at one of her solo shows to perform “Floetic” together, the duo launched a full-scale reunion.

At Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill, signature drinks are served in 32-ounce moonshine-style jars, with assurances that take-along cups are available, so there is no pressure to drain the jars before the check arrives. Start with fried mac and cheese balls, which seem large enough to block out the sun in comparison with average appetizers, and fried pickles in sternto-stem-length spears. Entrée selections such as cowboy prime top sirloin steak and baby back ribs will make your decision difficult, but you can’t go wrong with the surfand-turf deal-breaker barbecue riband-shrimp combo or the shrimp BLT po’boy. Bread pudding topped with bourbon ice cream and the trademark fried Twinkies will make you glad you didn’t skip dessert. –Matt Kelemen Harrah’s, 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Sun.Thurs., 11:30 a.m.-midnight Fri.Sat.; bar Sun.-Thurs. till 2 a.m., Fri.-Sat. till 3 a.m. 702.693.6111

Vaudeville on a Whole New Scale Watching a performer push his strength to the limit is a suspenseful and beautiful act. Absinthe at Caesars Palace, a variety show with touches of vaudeville, burlesque and circus acts, delivers such spectacle again and again. Host The Gazillionaire and assistant Joy Jenkins deliver bits of R- and sometimes X-rated comedy. The Green Fairy, portrayed by singer Melody Sweets, tap-dancing twins Sean and John Scott and bubble girl Charlie Starling all shine, but the feats of strength will grab a whole other side of your attention. Acrobat Ruslan Khusinov stacks chair upon chair, balancing in precarious positions until he adds a final eighth chair and then looks down from a handstand at the top. Another fierce balancing act is four-man team Atlantis, creating a fluid human totem pole. Absinthe is truly intoxicating, easily mixing lighter entertainment with acrobatic acts performed with grace, ease and perfection. –Kiko Miyasato

A Wing Thing
Man of Many Talents George Lopez is a proud champion of Hispanics and often speaks out about issues which are important to him through his stand-up comedy routines. Ethnic relations and Mexican-American culture, while serious subjects, actually are fodder for some of Lopez’s hilarious material. As an artist, Lopez has had several television shows (people obviously enjoy him as his past series, George Lopez, is still in syndication and consistently tops the charts in that area), with another one debuting this year. He’s also hosted a late-
night talk shows and appeared in numerous films. Oh, and he’s an author, too. His Vegas appearance is part of his current stand-up tour and affords his wide fan base the opportunity to see and hear him in person—something Lopez really enjoys. During his career, Lopez has received numerous awards for both his comedy and humanitarian efforts, as well as Time magazine having named him one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America. In 2006, Lopez received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. –Penny Levin

At around 15,000 square feet, with seating for 500 and about 50 TVs, Hooters rightly earns the title of the biggest. If you’re not a wings fan (whaaaaaaat?), plenty of options await, from salads, seafood and burgers to fried pickles and darned good fries. Of course, the servers will be decked out in the iconic Hooters uniforms. –Nina King

A New Place to Play
Booze, food and televised sports at new Mirage hot spot If you need a break from the tourist-centric activities in Las Vegas, head to the newly opened bar and eatery The Still. Here, guests will transport from the casino floor to a neighborhood bar or backyard jamboree, the ambience and surroundings feeling at once familiar and inviting. At The Still, branded as the ultimate man cave and sports destination, nearly two dozen flatscreen TVs are found around the 8,000-squarefoot space, in addition to a large rectangular bar with more than 50 craft beers, including beers on draft plus domestic and imported selections. But, don’t let the male-slanted surroundings fool you; ladies can kick back here, too. The handcrafted cocktail list has amazing selections such as The Golden Boy, a sweet and spicy blend
42 4.10.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
of tequila, passion fruit, Fresno chile, agave nectar and a cinnamon sugar rim, and the highly addictive Kentucky Mule, a blend of Wild Turkey, lime and ginger beer. Guests can take a seat at the bar, fill seats at high-top tables and oversized semi-circular booths or take the party on the “patio” for some hanging-out time on sofas and lounge chairs. Another part of The Still that everyone can enjoy is the games: billiards, shuffleboard and foosball. If all the drinking and playing works up an appetite, head to the back of the venue to the centerpiece of The Still, Bud Bud’s. The refurbished Airstream trailer pops open its windows to reveal a fully functioning kitchen. As with popular food trucks, guests can walk up and order selections
of upscale bar food from a menu put together by chef Brian Massie. Selections from the menu include mini cheeseburgers, mini lobster rolls, New York steak tips, crispy chicken and steak tacos, chili cheese dogs, chicken wings, beer-battered fish and chips and Asian chicken salad—all on point in flavor and presentation. Soft-serve desserts include the indulgent churro de leche crunch—Mexican churros, condensed milk, cinnamon and chocolate. For an inviting, familiar and friendly place to hang out and have fun, The Still succeeds in surroundings, sustenance, suds and stellar cocktails. –Kiko Miyasato The Mirage, 4 p.m.-1 a.m. Sun.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.692.8455

Hakkasan continues impressive culinary journey
Only three years ago, Hakkasan Group unveiled its upscale riff on Chinese food at the eponymous Hakkasan in MGM Grand. While casual observers may only associate Hakkasan with high-profile DJs such as Calvin Harris playing the club, the casino-level brethren of the Michelinstarred London venue is equally as impressive. Entering into the space through the grand doorway off the casino floor transports you into a massive, yet inexplicably tranquil, space. Towering ceilings bound a room with seating subdivided by intricate wooden frames interwoven with one another, creating an intimate vibe for each table while still maintaining the overall immenseness of the space. It is a fitting backdrop for the elevated Chinese cuisine the venue delivers on a nightly basis as a complement to the electronic music scene in the nightclub above. No visit to Hakksan is complete without the crispy duck salad, a dish which is simply divine.
44 4.10.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
A quarter-duck dried with five spice and oyster sauce is gently breaded and flash-fried, delivering an exquisitely crisp skin wrapping around succulent fowl. Tossed with pomelo wedges, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts in a leafy green salad, the dish offers a myriad of textures and flavors in each bite. It is a destination dish worth the visit alone. But when you’re at Hakkasan, you’ll be eating more than salad. Your favorite waterfowl makes another appearance in the form of crispy roasted duck. Served in a sharp Chinese mustard sauce and accented with tart kumquat, this duck dish also delivers an impeccably crisp skin swaddling juicy meat. And elsewhere from the land, stir-fry black pepper beef ribeye with merlot delivers spiciness melded with complex, red wine-based sauce. Pair it with a side of fried rice—the chicken and salted fish rendition is extraordinary, but the egg and scallion version may be more familiar—to serve as a foil to an otherwise hearty offering.

As grand as the dining is, Hakkasan’s cocktail program is equally as memorable, making admirable use of Asian ingredients. Remarkably balanced, the Buddha’s Palm mixes Buffalo Trace bourbon with Velvet Falernum, yuzu juice, marmalade and black grapes effortlessly in a cocktail found only at the Vegas Hakkasan. And in a play on a classic, the Blood & Sand combines Dalmore 12-Year Scotch with Cherry Heering in standard fashion, gilding the lily with Aragoshi Umeshu plum liqueur and blood orange juice. But the pièce de résistance is finishing the drink with an infusion of smoke from Grand Mariner-soaked wood chips, endowing it with even more smoky “sand” flavor. If you’re not too full, then meander through the dessert menu to the housemade macarons. Once again, Asian influences are unveiled in a dish not native to the Far East. Flavors rotate regularly, but on a recent visit, citrusy calamansi—the offspring of the mandarin orange and kumquat common in the Philippines—and yuzu were options alongside s’mores and even violet. The unexpected flavors serve as a fitting endcap to a remarkable meal, reminding us that Hakkasan is just as momentous as it’s ever been.

Jason Ellefson
Actor-turned-manager finds his perfect role If Jason Ellefson, general manager at Beer Park at Paris, looks familiar, that’s because you might have seen him on shows like Melrose Place. The Seattle native moved to L.A. to attend USC and pursue acting, and he also worked in hospitality. With the writers’ strike and a sinking economy, acting took a back seat. However, his hospitality career soared—he rapidly climbed the ladder, stepping into barback, bartender, lead bartender and corporate trainer roles—and then management. “It was a pivotal moment for me to stop acting,” he said. “I still had passion and love for acting, but it became too inconsistent.” So, he let his talents in hospitality shine. The decision to move to Las Vegas a few years ago was an easy one. “Someone said something
46 4.10.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
to me that made an impression when I was getting into management. They said, ‘If you’re ever gonna be a stockbroker on Wall Street, why wouldn’t you live in New York?’ If you’re gonna be in hospitality and you’re gonna play with the big boys, you have to be in Vegas.” When Ellefson heard that Beer Park was opening, he jumped at the chance. “I got in on the ground floor. I knew I wanted to manage this type of place,” he said. “You know when you’re hosting a really great party in your backyard, and you have your friends and neighbors over? That’s the kind of experience we want people to have when they come to Beer Park. And me and my staff, we love working here, and that vibe trickles down to the guests.” –Kiko Miyasato
It certainly lives up to its name; Beer Park offers more than 100 different beers on tap and bottled (and wine and cocktails on tap, too!), and even beer cocktails like the Super Bowl Shandy. The refreshing cocktail mixes together Shock Top beer, Skyy Blood Orange vodka, Aperol and fresh-squeezed lemon and lime juices. Once you order your drink of choice, hang at a picnic table on the grass or kick back on lounge chairs while enjoying a game of life-size Jenga, or a round of Cards Against Humanity. You can also order eats from the outdoor grill, smoke pit or roaming concession-style carts. –KM

Lasting Lips
Getting that lush look requires preparation, right products There is just something about a bold, matte lip that feels glamorous. It allows you to pare down the rest of your look, too, with fresh skin, little-to-no eyeshadow, a pop of eyeliner, and a coat of mascara. It’s important to exfoliate lips prior to applying products, so colors are smooth and lips look healthy. After all, all eyes will be on those lips! Add a lighter shade of lipstick in the same color family to the center of the lips and blend out lightly to help lips appear more plump. The longer-wearing the formula, the drier the lips may feel—so add a light lip balm to help. Step out and own this trendy, confident look! –Sarah Redzikowski

Desert Oasis
Relax, renew inside tranquil, upscale space Although the Spa Bellagio’s entrance, mere steps from the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, may be nondescript (it’s located in the spa’s retail store, with an elevator ride up to the second floor), the environment you enter is truly luxurious. The intimate reception area welcomes guests, who may be unprepared for the expansive, 65,000 square feet of spa space. Men’s and women’s facilities are on opposite ends—although there are co-ed relaxation spaces and balconies that overlook Bellagio’s well-manicured pools. Start with a dip in a plunge pool—the temperatures vary, allowing for a cool refresh or a long unwind of tense muscles; afterward, clear your pores inside the eucalyptus steam room. The running design theme throughout the spa channels nature—blue and green tones and wood mixed with floral and foliage. The sounds of running water permeate the air. Inside the coed tranquility room, all these are pulled together. The dimly lit room, with color-changing lighting, allows guests to relax on oversize lounge chairs, daybeds or yoga mats. Now that spring is in full swing, Spa Bellagio offers a menu of seasonal treatments like the Paradise Sugar Scrub. A therapist exfoliates your body with sugar and then bathes your skin in coconut milk—the healing therapies of the warm Vichy shower help wash away winter’s wear on the skin. Moisture is locked in with a coconut-and-macadamia-nut-oil lotion application, leaving skin silky smooth. Another way to shed the winter blues is the Spring to Action hair treatment, which uses Brazilian keratin to penetrate hair internally, restoring and protecting tresses while leaving hair stronger, smoother and shinier. The spa also offers facials, body wraps, poolside massages, waxing and fitness classes. –Kiko Miyasato Bellagio, 6 a.m.-8 p.m. daily. 702.693.7472

If Michael Clift was going to create a show that paid tribute to the Brothers Gibb, it had to be great if it was worth doing at all. Mention of the Bee Gees brings to mind the heady days of disco for many, and a production titled The Australian Bee Gees Show—A Tribute to the Bee Gees is sure to draw people who welcome an onset of night fever and want to get up and dance. It had little trouble filling up a showroom at the Excalibur five nights a week when Clift and company brought it to Las Vegas in February 2011—but they had a few years to hone it before hitting the Strip. “I started the show 20 years ago in Northern Australia,” says Clift, unmistakably Barry Gibb onstage with his beard and shoulder-length hair, after a Thursday night performance. “Wayne (Hosking), who was playing Maurice tonight, and Dave (Scott), who was not here and plays Robin, they were the original members. Tony (Richards, bass) joined not long after that.” New Zealander Rick Powell joined on drums after The Australian Bee Gees Show opened in Vegas, and with the addition of alternate cast members such as tonight’s Robin—Paul Lines— The Australian Bee Gees Show has been able to deliver more than 1,700 performances with little more than three video screens to augment the presentation. Even those aren’t really necessary, but they help create separation between the two main musical eras of the Bee Gees (Maurice Gibb died in 2003, Robin in 2012). After kicking things off with “Nights on Broadway,” “Jive Talkin’” and “More Than a Woman,” the band delivers a British Invasion-era selection of songs including “I Started a Joke” and “Massachusetts” that makes sing-alongs irresistible to many in the audience. A video homage to early ’70s live music—the fictional “Midnight Sessions”—gives the “brothers” a chance to change from ’60s fashions into
Excalibur 7 p.m. Sat.-Thurs., $49.95-$59.95 plus tax and fee. 702.597.7600
Saturday Night Fever styles, and the audience to hit the dance floor near the stage. “We thought of the concept first, and then we thought of how we were going to do it,” says Clift. Hosking, Clift and Scott were working on projects together Down Under, but Clift slipped into the role of Barry pretty easily, and Scott’s resemblance to Robin meant his lead guitar skills would take a back seat to his lead vocalist ability. Hosking donned a hat and wore a beard as Maurice did, and the Australian musicians set about becoming Bee Gees. The production’s Maurice also became the comic foil of Barry and Robin. He’s the one that slyly flatters each night’s audience by telling them they sang better than the previous night’s crowd, and he’s the one who gets blocked from the mic by Robin when his vocals are not required. But it’s the irresistible energy of the Bee Gees’ music that makes the show, and that’s only possible with a full commitment from the musicians. “It’s both immersion and association,” says Clift of the process of becoming a Bee Gee. “You have to hear their voice in your head. You have to have the mannerisms to the point where you can ad-lib in character.”

If you’re the chef de cuisine or executive chef in a restaurant, you’ve got to be old, right? Wrong! Although many of the chefs you’re familiar with might be snow-capped, more and more chefs are being handed the reins while still young. And here in Vegas, you’ll find some of the best in the nation. Although their paths and experiences vary widely, there are certain characteristics they all share: a passion for food and a penchant for hard work.

Advice for foodies? I would direct them more into the more adventurous stuff, the beef cheek ravioli, the octopus, the Reserva (aged meat) ... Nicole Brisson Executive chef, Carnevino at The Palazzo When Nicole Brisson was a child, she never questioned what she wanted to be—she knew. Her grandfather owned a restaurant; her mother made the family’s meals from scratch; and her father grew vegetables on nearly all their property. By high school, the New York state native had a job in the restaurant biz, took culinary classes and competed in contests, testing the skills she’d later use as a chef. College and a two-year stint working in Italy left her still driven to fulfill her dream. She moved to San Francisco for a while, but “I realized I was too East Coast for San Francisco. I walked fast, talked fast, cooked fast, and they were hanging out drinking tea.” Back to the East Coast she went. “When I went back home, I got an opportunity: I met (chef) Stephen Kalt. I interviewed with him, packed up my bags and moved out here two weeks later.” It was almost a whim, but it paid off huge: After working at restaurants at Wynn for a couple of years, she joined B&B Hospitality, helping open B&B Ristorante, and serving as chef de cuisine at Enoteca before becoming executive chef at Carnevino, where she has been since 2010. Today, Brisson’s become a mini-celeb of her own, competing in Back of the House Brawl, Chopped and Late Night Chef Fight. “As much as I can, I try to do off-the-Strip dinners and get involved ...” The camaraderie she found in the cooking arena was long-lasting: “Years ago, when I moved to Vegas, I kind of thought, ‘Two years, three years, I’m out,’ but now I’ve been here 12 and a half years, and I’ve made a community here, a home.”

Marlon Simbulan Chef de cuisine, Nove Italiano at Palms He didn’t always know he’d become a chef, but from the moment Marlon Simulan signed up with a culinary school in San Diego, the Guam native has been on a path toward his current high rank at Nove Italiano. For Simbulan, food has always played an integral role in his life, whether at large family meals (he has eight siblings) or as the reward for a well-played game of throwdown basketball (the loser of the game cooked—and sometimes the winner did, too). His mother, the primary cook in the family, would often make the meals after those games, too.
Although he had considered other careers, Simbulan decided to headed to culinary school in his 20s to train for life as a chef. Halfway through his program at the school, he was asked to work at Addison Grand Del Mar, a celebrated five-star restaurant in San Diego. Simbulan expanded his repertoire with a catering stint, then moved to Vegas and (Nove Italiano) as a line chef. Within two years, he’d been named chef de cuisine. “I guess you could say I got my competitiveness from sports—and from me being the youngest of eight in my family,” he says. “I always wanted to prove to my siblings and my parents that I could do the best—be the best.” It looks like he’s proven that now.

Pet peeve out of the kitchen? “Punctuality. I’m always on time outside of work, because you have such a limited amount of time. So you have to cherish every moment of it.” Fatimah Madyun Chef de cuisine, Rao’s at Caesars Palace She didn’t grow up cooking Italian cuisine, but Fatimah Madyun has made that art her own. Madyun helms Rao’s at Caesars Palace, the Vegas outpost of the famous N.Y. original. Like many other chefs, Madyun grew up with a sense of where she might someday end up. “I had always wanted to be a cook. I knew that I wanted to pursue the arts in some way and cooking was always something that I enjoyed and just happened to be the one category of the arts that I was the best at and enjoyed the most. My parents and grandmother were also all avid cooks, so that made it easy for me to get interested in the field as well.” The Pennsylvania native attended The Pennsylvania Culinary Institute and spent five years at a five-diamond resort, The Broadmoor, and about a year at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. Then Vegas beckoned and Madyun took a chef de tourant position at Rao’s, in essence working any, and every, part of the kitchen. Two years ago, she became chef de cuisine. Now, she oversees a busy kitchen that can serve up to 500 dinners in a night. It’s hard work, Madyun says, but her work ethic has contributed to her success. “I like to work; I like to stay busy. ... I like to see things evolve, so since I’ve been here until now, it’s been an evolution in a bunch of different ways. ... I try to keep my ear to the ground and move where we need to move and change things where we need to change them.”

“Try signature dishes...try what we are known for. Try to see if you can (distinguish) the flavors that we put in. I do that a lot; it’s how I get inspired. I go out and try to re-create the dish…” David Mangual Executive chef, Double Barrel Roadhouse at Monte Carlo When you meet David Mangual, you might suspect that there’s more to him than meets the eye. And there is, about 20 years more. Despite his youthful looks, Mangual has been working in restaurants since he was 14, when a family friend helped him land a job in a local Vegas eatery. He says that’s where he learned that he had a passion for the art of cooking. “I was always really into food, whether it was helping my grandma make tortillas in the kitchen when I was 8 years old or just experimenting with food every year after; it just kind of stuck with me.” Mangual pursued that passion in high school and his college years, taking higherlevel culinary courses while in high school and nursing ambitious dreams. As he says, “I wanted to go to New York to work in a five-star restaurant, but it came to me, luckily.” The chef had longtime stints at Renoir and Sensi before switching gears from fine cuisine and scoring the top spot at SBE’s Double Barrel Roadhouse two years ago. And Mangual’s drive isn’t fading—when Hyde opens its lounge at the T-Mobile Arena, he’ll be in change of the food in the venue, in addition to Double Barrel duties. To what does he attribute his success? “I think a lot of it is my experience, my hands-on experience. I did a lot of things just because I wanted to learn.”

“I’m really into cars; I have a ’48 Merc and a ’64 Impala... At one time I had over 30 cars in my backyard (laughs); they didn’t all work.” Today, he has four vehicles: the Mercury, the Impala, a Hummer and what he refers to as “an everyday driver.”

Christina Nasso Head baker and general manager, Carlo’s Bakery at The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo Like many in the culinary industry, Christina Nasso found inspiration young—she baked a lot with her mom and grandmother—even the local Brooklyn, N.Y., bakeries made her feel she belonged there. But unlike many others, she didn’t follow that passion. Instead she worked in the body-piercing and tattoo industries, and in the insurance world. She made a good salary and was respected by her coworkers—but under that was a well of boredom and dissatisfaction. “I was 25 when I realized, ‘I’m so miserable’—and I was successful at my job, but
I was missing something. I think the lack of creativity, being able to do something every day ... was killing me a little bit.” So she listened to her heart, and her friends and family, and enrolled in school to learn the business of baking. After interning at a respected bakery, she worked up the nerve to apply at Carlo’s Bakery, with Buddy Valastro of Cake Boss fame and his coterie. She stayed there three years, then opened a Times Square location as head baker. Three more years and she moved to Las Vegas in 2014, doing the same thing, but without backup. “I was like, ‘Damn, I’m on my own, I don’t have, like, Frankie (Amato) or Mauro (Castano) to ask, ‘How do I do this?’ I’ve gotta figure it out ... that’s what I think is cool about it.”
“I think a lot of hard work and dedication gets a lot for a person. That’s kind of what I’m here to do, work hard (and) benefit myself as well as make the company better.” GOOD TO KNOW
Nasso has five pit bulls: Buttercream, Sprinkles and three cuter-thancupcakes pups. Buttercream is white and Sprinkles is white with brown specks.

A Serious Rock Act When The Darkness (House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, 800.745.3000) debuted in 1999, music fans weren’t entirely sure whether the band, with its over-the-top rock and roll theatrics and ridiculous double-entendre lyrics, was meant to be taken seriously. For some, that question hasn’t quite been answered, but more than a decade later, The Darkness, fronted by Justin Hawkins, has certainly proved to be

more than a novelty act. “I Believe in a Thing Called Love,” from the band’s 2003 debut album Permission to Land, was a top 10 hit on the Billboard alternative charts. Although the band members parted ways following the release of their 2005 sophomore album, they regrouped in 2011, recording Hot Cakes, which brought back a rawer rock sound (fourth album Last of Our Kind followed in
Entertainment Dining Nightlife Gaming Shopping Attractions Marketplace Resources Out & About
2015). The band remains more popular in its native U.K. than in the U.S., but The Darkness’ stage show is as much of a bombastic spectacle in a club as it would be in an arena. With Rufus Tiger Taylor, son of Queen’s Roger Taylor, now behind the drums, The Darkness has solidified its position as the modern embodiment of classic arena rock. And that’s no joke. –Josh Bell

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.
Who-What-Where Reality-TV starlet Lala Kent turned heads in a barechested-Tupac swimsuit in hosting at Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel alongside Vanderpump Rules co-star James Kennedy, who was actually bare chested. Not to be outdone
in the spotlight of the sun, Kennedy performed a DJ set. Darren Cahill, legendary tennis coach of Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt, and now an ESPN sports reporter, and top tennis player Simona Halep dined at Crush in MGM
Grand. Johnny Manziel, aka Johnny Football, was spotted enjoying dinner Saturday night at Tao Asian Bistro in The Venetian with a large group that included Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and former football player Melvin Fowler.
New show for Newton Caesars Entertainment has negotiated a new show for legendary entertainer Wayne Newton. I’m reliably told that most of the show will be storytelling of Vintage Vegas days, but longtime Las Vegas resident Newton also will sing two songs despite lingering throat problems from years gone by. A top Caesars exec confirmed the negotiations for me that Newton is returning to the Strip, and, although the venue still has yet to be decided, his new show in all probability will be at Bally’s. Newton performed more than 25,000 solo shows in Las Vegas over the decades at properties including the Flamingo, Tropicana and now-demolished Stardust.

While on a five-week break from her Britney: Piece of Me residency at Axis at Planet Hollywood, pop princess Britney Spears took off for a spring break-Easter holiday with sons Sean and Jayden to Hawaii. Spears’ show has been a blockbuster success since its Dec. 27, 2013, premiere, and the show was recently revamped, adding a new intro, different costumes and a few more fan favorites. Those G-strings and bras keep on flying off at Sexxy at Westgate Las Vegas. Star and producer Jennifer Romas just notched her 300th performance and hasn’t missed a night since opening in January last year. Her show features one of the most unique acts on the Strip: She slips in and out of a bathtub, whipping herself into a slip-andslide frenzy. Magician Murray Sawchuck played an Easter prank on some stage techs with his friend, Fantasy at the Luxor star and Playboy Playmate Soolin DeMaria. Murray, along with his viral video team and producer Seth Leach, tricked them into looking for a lost rabbit from one of Murray’s shows. As Sawchuck is about to cover it with a blanket, the blanket is pulled back to reveal DeMaria in a bunny outfit.
