Kurt Vile

Musician brings momentum to Vegas Kurt Vile has been steadily building a following the old-fashioned way since his 2008 solo debut Constant Hitmaker. The singer-songwriter is touring in support of his fourth album, the evocative and introspective B’lieve I’m Goin Down, which weaves the stylistic directions he’s explored during his career into a musical masterwork. He performs at Brooklyn Bowl on Aug. 15. He spoke with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen on a trans-Atlantic call from Europe, where he and his band The Violators just played Italy’s Mojotic Festival 2016 the night before.

A little jet-lagged maybe?

A little. A little worn out.

Some songs seem like they can become more seasoned with time. They’re great recordings, but the nature of their structure and the mesmerizing feeling they create allows you take them to further places the more you play live.

Yeah, that’s what’s cool on that sort of playing with a lot of the songs. I don’t like repetition. I like improvisation, but I don’t like overindulgence either. Ultimately I think we’re kind of a spirited balance. Not too tight, but pretty f*cking tight, you know?

Which songs from B’lieve I’m Going Down are audiences responding to the most?

Of the newest material? I actually wish we played a whole block of them, but we’ll probably add them in there. Songs like “Lost My Head,” for instance, we could do it, but there’s a piano jam that’s kind of a monster that’s hard to reproduce. As far as responses, we did cool versions of “Dust Bunnies” and “Outlaw.” I will say that a lot of songs from (2013 album) Wakin’ on a Pretty Daze sound better live than on record in a way, better than they did when we toured them during that session. I think the songs are like spiritual jazz. When you play live nonstop you can either play them the same or you can mix it up.

Your songs have unorthodox song structures, but you know how to not take it too far. You have to do it enough to get the feel you’re trying to get across but not so much that it becomes redundant. I imagine that’s a subconscious thing you develop after a while.

I think that … that’s funny, because people have asked me that question before in a way that showed they haven’t analyzed like you did, so (you did) pretty well.

They’re like, “Well, how do you know that a song’s done?” like the moment to stop pops in my head.

I know that part needs to be cut out or fixed somehow, you know?

(Laughs) Or maybe it’s over once my head’s not moving and my eyes aren’t closed.

You’re spending most of July in Europe before coming back over to this side of the Atlantic.

How have the shows been over there?

They’ve been pretty good. I think we get a little tighter with time, but I think you can hit a wall. To be honest, last night some people were just grumpy, and it kind of brought me down a little bit. Other than that I think we’re tighter than ever now.

SCENE

$20,000,000 Amount billionaire Bill Foley is spending to build a practice facility in Summerlin for the National League Hockey team that will begin playing at the T-Mobile Arena in 2017.

Legendary daredevil Evel Knievel broke, chipped or fractured 31 bones while trying to jump the Caesars Palace fountains in 1967. His son, Robbie, jumped them successfully in 1989.

Bring Your Camera

Madame Tussauds and Blue Man Group have teamed up for an attraction that practically screams Instagram: The Wax Shack, near the Blue Man Theater at Luxor. It features three wax cast members holding hilarious props, and you can insert yourself into the scene.

These guys are so lifelike, your friends back home won’t know the difference. Get a special $81 ticket package combo for the show and attraction at 800.557.7428 by mentioning Madame Tussauds.

Try Them All!

The dog days of summer may be upon us, but Table 10 at The Palazzo has come up with a novel way of coping, introducing its Summer of Sandwiches menu. Chef de cuisine James Richards developed the menu as a way of putting spins on classics he grew up with. Selections are all $18, including a Colorado lamb gyro with feta cheese, tzatziki sauce and red onion on housemade pita bread; a Berkshire pork Cubano with housemade pickles and Gruyère cheese on a ciabatta bun; and an abodo steak ranchero with carmelized peppers and onion, Oaxaca cheese and shaved cabbage on Mexican bread. For more information, call 702.607.6363.

Elvis Presley first performed in Las Vegas on April 23, 1956.

His gig in the Venus Room at the New Frontier was likened to “a jug of corn whiskey at a champagne party”

by Newsweek.

Nevada’s slogan “Battle Born” references the state’s admittance into the union during the Civil War on Oct. 31, 1864. A state holiday, Nevada Day, is celebrated each year with school, state and city office closures.

When he first played Las Vegas, Don Rickles performed three shows a night— midnight, 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.—following Louis Prima at the Sahara’s Casbar Lounge.

Just Relax

Enjoying a national day to unwind and be pampered Take a breather—it’s National Relaxation Day on Aug. 15, and there are plenty of ways to celebrate while in Las Vegas.

At Spa at The Linq, enjoy a 50-minute signature facial or massage for $105. Cross The Linq Promenade and the Spa at Flamingo gets in on the action and offers either its signature massage or customized facial for 50 minutes for just $99.

Relax for the whole day or even just half a day at Canyon Ranch SpaClub at The Venetian and The Palazzo and Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace. The former is 134,000 square feet of exclusive amenities including a Finnish sauna, coed conservatory, wave room and salt grotto, and there are complimentary beverages and fresh fruit, all for a $50 day pass. At Qua, get a day pass starting at $55 and enjoy 50,000 square feet of bliss and relaxation by taking advantage of the Roman baths with healing waters, the arctic ice room and the tea room, or dip into and unwind in the waters of one of several whirlpools.

Another breathtaking retreat for relaxation is The Spa at Aria. There are so many spaces and facilities to help you unwind, starting with the outdoor therapy pool built on a huge balcony overlooking the pool areas. Let your cares go inside the ganbanyoku heated stone beds room or the shio salt room, or treat yourself and your sweetheart to a private spa suite complete with hot tub, lounge area and massage tables.

Aria’s day pass starts at $50, and private suites can be reserved. –Kiko Miyasato

Journey to the Unknown You’re not dreaming—you’re KÀ-ing. And if you’ve got vertigo, grab your armrests 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, KÀ tells the tale of “the coming of age of a young man

and a young woman.” Along the journey they encounter sea creatures and experience the Wheel of Death. Bottom line: a feast for the senses that plays with your spatial perceptions. So hang on—you’re not dreaming.

Defining a Decade There are few artists that evoke the ’80s more than Culture Club, the new wave band led by fashion icon Boy George. From 1982 to 1986, the British band released a string of hit singles, including “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” “Karma Chameleon,” “Time (Clock of the Heart)” and “Miss Me Blind.” In that short period of time, Culture Club put out four landmark albums and became an indelible part of ’80s pop culture. If a movie wants to evoke the time period, one of the easiest and most recognizable ways to do that is with a Culture Club song.

Personal troubles and the pressures of fame led the band members to go their separate ways in 1986.

But Culture Club has remained a vital force, with numerous reunions over the years, along with a new album in 1999. The band’s latest reunion began in 2014, with extensive touring and recording sessions for another new album, which is still in the works.

Their music may be quintessentially ’80s, but they’re still looking ahead to the future. –Josh Bell

Old-School Cool

Hocus Pocus Focus Come to Vegas, see a freak show. We mean that literally, as in Mindfreak Live!, the magical spectacle from the mind of gothstyle prestidigitator Criss Angel. You want illusions? How about more than 50 of them in the space of 85 minutes? The stunts are elaborately conceived, the production shot through with pyrotechnics, laser explosions, 3-D effects, animation and virtual worlds. Among the (sometimes freaky) highlights: Angel saws a woman in half but

declines to put her back together again (“I only keep the bottom half,” he jokes); a straitjacket escape (which ends with him hanging upside down); after being covered in a sheet, he disappears, then reappears in the audience; and, of course, a levitation trick in which Angel ascends above a ladder, across the stage and inside a metal sphere.

Comedy is also in good supply courtesy of good-natured cut-ups Penny Wiggins and Mateo Amieva. –Steve Bornfeld

Perhaps you require an introduction to the classic Vegas aesthetic. Then you require an introduction to Matt Goss. He cultivates his next-gen Frank Sinatra persona with a ring-a-ding-ding singing style. Backed by a nine-piece band and female dancers known as the Dirty Virgins, 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-asbrandy gloss to the Eagles’ “Hotel California” and Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” –SB Caesars Palace, 9:30 p.m. Tues. & Fri.-Sun., $60-$80, $125 VIP, plus fee, 21+. 888.929.7849 Culture Club photo by Dean Stockings Matt Goss photo by Denise Truscello

She Does It Again The question is no longer can Britney Spears make it as a Vegas headliner, but rather how long does she want to be one?

Spears’ groundbreaking Piece of Me residency at Planet Hollywood Resort has been given a $35 million extension through December 2017, and with that she refreshed the show this year for fervent fans who have helped sell out the 4,500-capacity theater repeatedly since Piece of Me’s Dec. 27, 2013, debut.

She now rides a giant guitar like a mechanical bull during her cover of “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” while “Work Bitch” features a set design tweak.

There’s also an interlude dedicated to Missy Elliot featuring high-octane dancing to “Work It” and “WTF (Where They From).”

Spears will likely continue to find willing victims to come onstage and get on all fours while leashed to a studded harness during “Freakshow,” and Will.i.am still appears on video during “Scream and Shout.” while “Toxic”

retains its torch song beginning and a ring of fire sparks the mood for “Circus.” Spears closes the show with Kesha-penned “Till the World Ends.” –Matt Kelemen

Animal Playground We keep no secrets, so we’re letting some very big cats out of the bag, to wit: 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. Segueing to a splashier

environment (owing to 2.5 million gallons of water), framed by palm trees and lush foliage, the habitat serves as both a dolphin playground and research facility to educate the public about these intelligent creatures. Visitors can delight in their natural friskiness in views from both above and below the water. –Steve Bornfeld The Mirage, hours vary, call for information, ticket sales begin at 11 a.m., last admission 1 hour prior to close, $22, $17 children 4-12, children 3 and under free with adult, annual pass $55, $42 children 4-12. 702.791.7188

The Birthday Shot On a blisteringly hot day, the only thing nicer than a milkshake is a milkshake infused with alcohol. And Hexx Kitchen & Bar has put together a lineup of “Frozen Elixxr” milkshake cocktails using High Road Craft Ice Cream. One particular tasty way to beat the summer blues is the Birthday Shot, made with sweet cream ice cream, Hexx chocolate sauce, cake vodka and sprinkles. You may not be celebrating the day of your birth this week, but you’re in Las Vegas—here, every day should feel like your birthday.

Big-Time Delicious Modesty is not in Guy Fieri’s job description. The restaurateur and host of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives always goes big, whether it’s his hair or his cooking.

Same goes for Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar, the first local restaurant from the UNLV alum. Foodie fans may be surprised to find that it feels more like an intimate, amped-up version of a bar and grill than a big Vegas restaurant—you won’t find white tablecloths or molecular gastronomy here. Instead, it’s all about comfort food in big portions.

Take, for instance, the Guy-talian fondue dippers, pepperoni-wrapped bread sticks served with a smoky provolone and sausage dip. The sashimi won-tacos are simple and satisfying, while the bacon mac-ncheese burger and the Tatted-Up turkey burger are as over-the-top as it gets. Or maybe you’d care for the “crisp, garlicky mega-crouton” upon which the Johnny Garlic’s Caesar salad is placed. It all culminates with Guy’s Cheesecake Challenge, a giant slice of the dessert covered in potato chips, pretzels and hot fudge. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Sizzle and Spectacle Love times three—plus a song-and-dance explosion—equals Baz: Star Crossed Love, a party for every one of your senses.

And perhaps a few you didn’t know you had.

Based on the films of renegade director Baz Luhrmann, Baz throws a trio of his signature movies with themes of quixotic lovers—The Great Gatsby (Daisy and Jay), Moulin Rouge (the writer and the courtesan) and Romeo + Juliet (them)—into a tuneful, dancetastic blender for a whirlwind production.

Characters pop up seemingly everywhere throughout the theater (which features a stage, a runway and a catwalk) as the relationships—romantic, comic and tragic— play out with an energetic cast, guided by a boisterous ringleader. Pinballing between the tales, the show unleashes a torrent of pop hits from performers with powerful pipes, including: “Lady Marmalade,” “When Doves Cry,” “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” and “Like a Virgin.” –Steve Bornfeld

Hop On the Soul Train Not only were the ’70s soft rock and disco—it was also a prime time for funk, a genre that fuses soul, a little bit of jazz and R&B. Acts like Parliament-Funkadelic and Sly and the Family Stone already found success in this musical direction and paved the way for groups such as Cameo, founded by Larry Blackmon. That funk sound is far from gone. Who doesn’t still love: “Come on, baby, tell me what’s the word / Word up (Up, up), everybody say / When you hear the call you’ve got to get it underway.” –Chanelle Hayes Westgate Las Vegas, 7 p.m. Thurs.-Sun.

Power of Three One wonders if a hip-hop group with the individual monikers Butterfly, Ladybug Mecca, and Doodlebug came out today, if they would even have a chance. But that collective unit, better known as Digable Planets—whose original run lasted for around four years in the mid 1990s— still has such a ravenous following that they can sell out venues across the country on this, yet another reunion tour.

The socially conscious trio who epitomize an era of intelligent East Coast hip-hop both lyrically and musically, bring something to the table that is sometimes missing in today’s rap game.

Their jazz influences and alternative sounding grooves sound as fresh today as they did in ’93.

Look no further than their most famous cut “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat),” whose dense lyrical landscape features standout verses from all three members, a standup bass line that is one of hip-hop’s most memorable, and those smooth horns.

This is a club act that promises to prove why they are “cool like dat / chill like dat / peace like dat / zoom like dat” among others before they finally exclaim, “We out!” –Jason Harris

He’s Still the One He’s bad, he’s bad and he knows it. It’s inevitable that Michael Jackson’s legacy would live on. In MJ Live, it’s like he never left. Backed by dancers and a live band, MJ Live showcases rotating impersonators.

MJ Live brilliantly weaves in and out of post-Bad-era hits “Dangerous” and “Jam,” then reverts to “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” and “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” to “Beat It” and “Man in the Mirror.” Lasers light up the room on “Smooth Criminal,” smoke blows from under the stage during “Black or White” and zombies

get into formation for “Thriller.” Remember Jackson’s 1983 “Billie Jean” performance on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever? Fastforward to present day where the artists reenact that moment, sporting sequined gloves and black fedora hats just like Jackson, mirroring his every step, turning and even mastering the moonwalk.

Heart and Soul Grammy-award winning Huey Lewis and the News has an impressive recording career, with hits like “If This Is It,” “Stuck With You,” “Heart of Rock & Roll” and “Do You Believe in Love” and has sold more than 20 million albums.

As much as the band is proud of its recording career, they believe there is something extra special about a live show such as the one in Las Vegas.

According to Lewis, the group incorporates a variety of musical influences including R&B and soul to create their own unique sound. As the frontman, Lewis’ voice enhances all the songs featured in the show and not just the hits for which the act is so well known. In addition, Lewis plays his harmonica for some songs. One highlight of the live show is the group’s a cappella rendition of early rock ’n’ roll classics such as “It’s Alright,” “Little Bitty Pretty One” and “Sixty Minute Man.” And the “Power of Love,” remains a special memory for the group—they received an Academy Award nomination for their Back to the Future song. –Penny Levin

King for a Night

Two of a Kind Smooth jazz is often recognized as the sweet, sedative sounds heard in an elevator, or when on-hold with a customer service representative, but that’s not Dave Koz or David Sanborn. Koz makes smooth jazz an experience, choreographing dance routines to match the energy of his songs, and occasionally hopping off the stage to serenade his listeners. The ninetime Grammy nominee with nine No. 1 albums sure knows how to work a crowd.

And Sanborn’s soulful and nuanced licks transcend genres. Not only has

he recorded more than 20 albums as a bandleader, but he’s played on a ton of classic rock and R&B albums ranging from David Bowie’s Young Americans to Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book.

Since the two Daves are arguably the top performers in their field, it’s hard to believe this is their first tour together. But they’re looking to make up for lost time by combining catalogs, adding fresh ideas to their best-known songs, and offering fans the opportunity to finally appreciate two huge jazz stars in one setting. –Alex Haase

Eat, Drink and Be Merry

Gastropub shares the spotlight with two distinct bars If you’re going to have a cocktail, why not have one that was specially created by worldrenowned master mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim?

And why not enjoy that cocktail in the city’s newest hot spot for dining and drinking? The recently opened Libertine Social at Mandalay Bay welcomes its guests to sit down for dinner or lounge at one of two bars for cocktails—it’s all about mixing good food and good cocktails with good conversation.

“Libertine Social—it’s all in the name. It’s a place that’s social, fun, something for everyone,” Abou-Ganim said. “There’s communal drinking, classic craft cocktails, two bars that offer two different programs and atmospheres, but both welcoming and fun and social.”

42 8.14.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

On the dining menu, guests can dip into New American bar fare, all the classic dishes of a gastropub but with chef Shawn McClain’s stamp of cooking ingenuity. Matching McClain’s talents in the kitchen are Abou-Ganim’s talents behind the two bars.

Guests can choose from the Main Bar, a place of energetic socializing and a hub for groups to converse and imbibe on draft cocktails, specialty shots, barrel-aged cocktails and bottled cocktails. There are also the swizzle cocktails, served in pitchers for sharing or as individual drinks. Bartenders use authentic sticks to create a frothy mixture within a cocktail. Abou-Ganim’s featured swizzle at Main Bar is the Queen’s Park Swizzle, mixed with El Dorado rum, homemade demerara

syrup, fresh-squeezed lime, spearmint leaves and topped off with Angostura bitters.

For a more intimate, speakeasy, bar-within-abar vibe, the Arcade Bar offers guests a lesson in cocktail history and mixology. Within the dark-paneled walls, take a seat in deep leather chairs and learn about cocktails that have disappeared from menus but at one time were the most popular in the country. Abou-Ganim dove into research to resurrect cocktails like the Daisy, the Smash, Sherry Cobbler and Brandy Fix. Try the Prescription Julep, the precursor to the Mint Julep that we know today. –Kiko Miyasato Mandalay Bay, 5-11 p.m. daily, lounge, 3-11 p.m. daily, to-go window, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. daily. 702.322.8199

cheers nosh Chilled seafood tower at Tender Steak & Seafood

What to eat (and drink) to beat the heat By Nina King We know the temperatures in Vegas can be pretty intense for many visitors, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t venture outside. In fact, a small dose of Vegas summer can make some of the city’s special food and drinks seem that much cooler.

To start your frigid journey, stop in at Tender Steak & Seafood in the Luxor and order the chilled seafood tower. This baby spirals up three packed levels, with lobster, two types of seafood salads, shrimp, oysters and clams. It feeds two, if you can be convinced to share.

Although you might be tempted to stick with the ubiquitous frozen yard-long margarita (and I admit it, I have indulged in this delicacy maybe more than once or twice), you can kick up the cool factor considerably with the drinkable offerings available up and down the Strip. If you want to stick with the margarita theme, head to Minus5 Ice Bar in The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay. Why order on the rocks when you can order in one instead? It’s served in a glass made of ice, as are several of the drinks here—that’s just neat.

But you have other options for chilly drinks. At Bellagio, Lago by Julian Serrano has a number of drinks to cool you down. The Café Lago, concocted with Valrhona chocolate, Patron XO Café hazelnut liqueur, rum and iced espresso relaxes you but, truthfully, revs you up a bit, too. The Frrrozen Hot Chocolate from Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace reallly, reallly rocks—a chocolatey, icy bit of heaven. It comes in three sizes, and you can customize it with toppings galore.

Thinking more along the lines of a milkshake?

Get a classic at Shake Shack in New York-New York. You can walk right up to a window outside for a Concrete. Thick and good. Inventiveness is pretty high in Vegas, though. Right next door, Tom’s Urban offers spiked milkshakes in flavors such as Fireball Cinnamon Whisky (love the cinnamon candies on top) and Bacardi Coconut Chocolate.

A little further up Las Vegas Boulevard at The Mirage, LVB Burgers & Bar offers the Cold as Ice—with Fernet Branca Menta and crème de cacao, it’s a little like mint chocolate chip. The Jailhouse Rock combines some of the King’s favorite things—bananas, peanut butter and rum (OK, rum might be one of my favorite things). The flavors really pop, and you just might suck a whole banana through your straw.

Perhaps it’s a more traditional ice cream you want? Although you can get plain scoops of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry at plenty of places, you can kick that up, too. Gelato is big here, and many restaurants offer it. OTTO Enoteca e Pizzeria in The Grand Canal Shoppes features a Concord Grape gelato, while Giada in The Cromwell has put together a delectable ice cream sandwich, with raspberry-buttermilk gelato between yummy lemon-ricotta cookies.

Kaitlyn Thompson

Model bay host is having a swinging good time Drake’s had fun; so, too, have Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Odell Beckham Jr. and some superstar NBA players. Yup, they’ve all enjoyed Topgolf Las Vegas, one of the city’s newest, and massive, hot spots for golfing. It’s also where you’ll find Kaitlyn Thompson working as a model bay host. “I met Justin Timberlake, that was really memorable,” she said. “That was really memorable. I love JT. I was so star struck!”

Topgolf is not only a place for celebrities to play but for tourists and locals alike. Since opening earlier this year, it’s been a popular spot for not only trying out a golf swing but a place to enjoy four floors of dining, drinking, dancing, swimming, socializing and catching live musical performances. “I think it’s an awesome place for everybody; everybody can have a good time here,” Thompson said. And it’s her job as a bay

host to ensure guests are catered to and taken care of when they rent one of the 108 climatecontrolled hitting bays.

“I’m making sure guests are enjoying themselves,” said the Las Vegas native. “I bring food, drinks and help explain the game. I get to know my guests, and make sure that they’re having a good time while they’re here at Topgolf. Hospitality is definitely a huge thing here.”

Thompson’s been with Topgolf since it opened its doors. “I love it and the venue is amazing.” Perhaps her favorite part about the job is the people. “I would say meeting new people and learning where people come from is my favorite,” she said. “We get a lot of tourists as well as locals, so it’s kind of cool to get everybody together and just find out a little bit more about people in town.” –Kiko Miyasato

Whether one is at a hitting bay, seated at one of the five bars or lounging poolside, tasty cocktails are never far from reach at Topgolf. Among the nine signature cocktails, a popular pick is the Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita.

Tanteo jalapeño tequila is mixed with organic lime juice, agave nectar and fresh-cut strawberries.

For groups, order one of the Golfbags, signature cocktails served in 60-ounce take-home mugs. There are also early bird cocktails like the classic mimosa and espresso martini. –KM

Outdoor Rendezvous

Indulge in specialty stores and popular eateries It was once considered one of the most valuable underused pieces of land on the Strip, but the puzzle of how to best use the parcel at the southeast corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard in front of Bally’s has come together in the form of the Grand Bazaar Shops.

The shopping destination was initially inspired by world-class shopping destinations such as Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar or London’s Portobello Road and developed to suit Vegas’ anythinggoes sensibilities. Dozens of vendors inhabit stalls and small shops laid out in rows, with a wide-open promenade dominating a layout with everything from wearable art and custom screen-printed T-shirts to couture for dogs and hot sauce for their humans. You’ll recognize

48 8.14.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

names like Superdry, Swatch, Lush, L’Core, Alex and Ani, Narcissistik, Havianas, Bauer’s Sunglass, Tags Evolution, Vine Vera—but that’s just the start.

The anchor store is Swarovski, where shoppers can browse an array of crystal offerings. A bedazzled Martin acoustic guitar, crystal skulls, Beats by Dre headphones, compact mirrors and Swarovski dice can all be bargained for. The Swarovski Crystal Starburst on top of the shop cannot be haggled over, however. During the day, the 14-foot sphere sparkles with color. At 9 p.m. and midnight, the starburst becomes the central attraction as the bazaar rooftops become illuminated and world-beat music fills the public spaces. It’s worth waiting for.

Grand Bazaar Shops also offers some good eats, including the highly anticipated opening of Wahlburgers (the chain created by Wahlberg brothers Mark, Donnie and Paul) in early July.

And soon there will be another great place to hang out with the fall arrival of John Rich’s Redneck Riviera. Along with one in Nashville, it marks the first foray into the bar scene for Rich’s lifestyle brand. And, in a great pairing, Redneck Riviera in Vegas will serve Wahlburgers menu items. Other dining options include Ramen-Ya, a ramen house created by San Francisco’s KatanaYa, the Waffle Bar, and Pisa Pizza. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Bally’s, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 10 a.m.11 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.736.4988

Looking back at the phenomenon of Jersey Boys

BY STEVE BORNFELD GIVE IT UP FOR THE GARDEN STATE—it gifted us with Sinatra, Springsteen, The Sopranos and the Boys. As in Jersey Boys.

We gather here to celebrate the jukebox musical journey of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, now in the final act of its eight-year-plus Las Vegas run that climaxes in September. Can you pass a Jersey Boys trivia contest? By this story’s end, your odds will have improved: • Broadway’s original Jersey Boys began when co-writers Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman (Annie Hall) shared a bottle of Italian wine with Valli and Four Seasons singer/ songwriter Bob Gaudio in a dark corner of a restaurant on West 46th Street in Manhattan. Upon hearing stories of the Four Seasons’ career—including mob ties, internal strife and jail time—Elice said they’d discovered the mother lode of good theater fodder.

• After interviewing all surviving original Four Seasons members—Valli, Gaudio and Tommy DeVito (the fourth, Nick Massi, died in 2000)—and getting differing, conflicting takes on their careers, Elice and Brickman settled on a story style inspired by Rashômon, in which each member would narrate from their own perspective. They called it the “four seasons” of their lives: spring, summer, fall and winter.

• When the show was first shopped around to New York producers, none were interested, as “jukebox musicals”—built around the song catalogs of iconic performers—were failing, including those based on The Beatles, Elvis and The Beach Boys. Finally, producing group The Dodgers signed on after a pitch that included Brickman humming “Sherry” to the company chief.

• In fashioning the show, the scene of the death of Valli’s daughter from a drug overdose originally had her wheeled in on a gurney, but it bothered Valli, so the death was changed to occur offstage. When Valli sees the show

50 8.14.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

now, he sometimes puts his head down. Another Valli family tragedy—his stepdaughter’s death from an accidental fall off an apartment fire escape—was left out, as the cumulative effect would have been too sad.

• Planning for a San Diego tryout in 2004, producers had trouble casting because of actors’ reluctance about jukebox musicals, but they finally enlisted actor David Norona to play Valli, and the production began to coalesce.

• Valli was sad that some songs—including “Silence is Golden,” “To Give” and the mega-hit “Swearin’ to God”— could not be fit into the show narrative. Gaudio’s favorite tune that he composed, “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore),” was also omitted, to his disappointment.

• In a call placed to a parking lot pay phone that Brickman and Elice were told to wait for, it was suggested that they portray late New Jersey mob boss Angelo “Gyp” DeCarlo—who aids The Four Seasons—well, nicely. Script pages were faxed, then they heard nothing. Months later, DeCarlo’s son, who owned a restaurant in New York’s Little Italy, treated the entire cast to complimentary dinners.

• Critical reaction to the original production was epitomized by this Los Angeles Times review: “It’s unlikely to be embraced by theater critics or rock historians, but nostalgia-hungry audiences will scream for more.” And so they did. Jersey Boys hit Broadway, where it nailed the Tony Award for best musical in 2006, then spawned worldwide productions and tours and a 2014 movie adaptation. In 2008 it opened in Las Vegas at The Palazzo, moving to Paris Las Vegas in 2012.

• As the production heads toward its Sept. 18 finale, it is wrapping up nearly 3,300 performances in Las Vegas— making Jersey Boys this city’s longest-running Broadwaystyle import, outpacing the popular Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular and Mamma Mia. Oh, what a whole lotta great nights.

Photographer Yousuf Karsh displays his genius at Bellagio Gallery’s Icons of the 20th Century

Clark Gable

52 8.14.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Yousuf Karsh captured the world’s most famous faces in blackand-white portraits, many of which are displayed as part of the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art’s current exhibit, Icons of the 20th Century.

The portraits include artists and architects, actors and astronauts, politicians and peacemakers, the beautiful and the beatific. Karsh created images that came to define public figures such as Winston Churchill and Ernest Hemingway, photographing 15,000 sittings for some 150,000 negatives. Icons features more than 60 portraits, from a pinstripe-suited Muhammad Ali to an ethereal Audrey Hepburn, with every countenance either familiar or fascinating.

Karsh drew on technical mastery, immersive research and empathy to capture the essence of his subjects on film, but it was likely his appreciation at being alive at all that drove his engine. He was born in 1908, a few years before the Ottoman Empire began a campaign of genocide against Armenians that resulted in 1.5 million deaths. His family became refugees and suffered tragedies before settling in Syria, with Yousuf eventually being sent to Canada to apprentice for an uncle with a photography studio. He gained confidence after winning $50 for a landscape shot before relocating to Boston at age 19 to assist photographer John Garo.

Garo mentored Karsh for three years, during which Karsh educated himself in the humanities. He also mixed with Boston’s cultural elite in Garo’s studio, which turned into a salon at sundown during the Prohibition years. He was gracious and optimistic, and after settling in Ottowa began to be influenced by theatrical lighting as he began taking portraits of politicians and royalty. By 1936, he had photographed Franklin D. Roosevelt, and by the 1940s he was regularly making trans-Atlantic crossings. He famously removed Churchill’s cigar from the prime minister’s mouth with his own hand, capturing the subsequent defiant expression that came to symbolize Britain’s determination during the war.

BELLAGIO In 1946, Karsh received an assignment 10 a.m.-8 p.m. daily, to create portraits of Hollywood figures. The last admission at BGFA features a selection from that period, 7:30 p.m., $16, $14 including Judy Garland, Ingrid Bergman, seniors, students and Peter Lorre, the Marx Brothers and Laurence Nevada residents, Olivier. Some of them are adjacent to each children 12 and under other, with Humphrey Bogart smoldering free, admission next to Lauren Bacall giving “The Look” and includes audio tour. director Alfred Hitchcock facing To Catch 702.693.7871 a Thief star Grace Kelly. Portraits of artists and writers are grouped together, while an image of cellist Pablo Casals is most effective while occupying its own space.

Karsh’s favorite portrait was one of Helen Keller; she saw with her hands, which the viewer is drawn to. Karsh was drawn to hands as well, as demonstrated by his Albert Einstein photo on display, but perhaps his greatest technical achievement was a photo of Georgia O’Keeffe. Her black dress, the day-lit exterior seen through an open door in the background and antlers mounted on a wall behind her create contrast but all are in focus. It’s a perfect example of what Karsh called “the search for greatness of spirit,” which he accomplished by being “always aware that the heart and mind were the true lens of the camera.”

Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère continues to soar on the Strip

54 8.14.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Photo by Credit

As the pirates of Buccaneer Bay fired the first cannons from the decks of ships anchored in front of newly opened Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in 1993, Cirque du Soleil was launching a show inside that would turn out to be the opening salvo in an entertainment revolution for the Strip. Mystère would outlast the pirates as well as countless other productions, and Cirque shows that followed expanded or created a distinct variation on the standards set by Las Vegas’ original Cirque show. To make a change to the classic production is no small consideration.

When there is a change, it’s worthy of an announcement to an audience of Cirque friends, family and media with a full-production demonstration. Tim Smith, artistic director for Mystère, gave the introduction to his show’s newly revised teeterboard act to a crowd assembled in TI’s Mystère Theater on the last Monday afternoon in June.

“This particular act hasn’t been touched in 23 years,” said Smith. “That’s pretty amazing. That’s the exciting part for us. They’ve been standing in the same places, doing the same sequences, walking, talking, all in the same place for 23 years until Saturday (July 3) when this debuts.”

After the lights dimmed, Mystère’s central character The Red Bird entered the stage and fruitlessly tried to use the new teeterboard to break with gravity before white-wigged footmen quickly commandeered it and demonstrated its potential. As Smith had announced, it allowed them to soar 10 feet higher than the previous teeterboard did as they engaged in the flips and twists of Cirque “skill set” acrobatics. Fans who have seen Mystère multiple times will likely notice the change in altitude, but as Smith explained later, he was really looking forward to their reactions this month.

“Cirque’s mandate is creation,” Smith said. “We’re constantly changing the show on a nightly basis, and we do large, large elements like this once every few years in order to keep the audiences coming back. We’ve upgraded the skill set about 80 percent. These guys that you just saw right now are so intense and so concentrated, so when we get a month under our belts, at 10 shows a week, this act’s going to soar.”

The performers still need to feel “the comfort of the air” while performing before audiences on the new board design, which Smith said is only four years old and came from the extreme sports world. Their marks and viewpoints are now 10 feet higher than before on a board that is both shorter than the previous one and provides better sight lines for viewers. But while from an audience standpoint they have mastered the new apparatus, from a Cirque standpoint Mystère’s new teeterboard act must be properly seasoned. “This is exactly where the act should be right now,” said Smith. “And just like any live event, especially Cirque’s real specialty disciplines, in about four weeks this thing’s gonna kill.”

A Girl and a Star When Gwen Stefani (T-Mobile Arena, 888.929.7849) was known primarily as the lead singer of pop-rock band No Doubt, the first indication of the massive success she’d have on her own was the 2001 single “Let Me Blow Ya Mind,” featuring Stefani singing alongside rapper Eve. As a member of No Doubt, Stefani was a major star of ’90s alt-rock, with hits like “Don’t Speak,” “Spiderwebs” and “Just a Girl.”

As No Doubt expanded its sound from ska-influenced rock to a more pop-oriented approach (on hits like “Hey Baby” and “Hella Good”), Stefani made her solo debut with 2004’s Love. Angel. Music. Baby, which launched iconic hit “Hollaback Girl,” and she followed it with 2006’s The Sweet Escape, cementing her pop-star status. After returning to No Doubt for a few years, Stefani has turned

her focus back to her solo career, with March’s This Is What the Truth Feels Like.

Now that she’s a pop superstar, Stefani has brought back the collaborator who first put her on that path, with Eve as opening act and special guest (for “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” and Stefani’s “Rich Girl”) on her latest tour, in Vegas Aug. 19.
