Roy Ellamar Dishing with Harvest’s executive chef
Roy Ellamar quickly rose through the ranks of the kitchens of Las Vegas to become one of the Strip’s foremost proponents of farm-to-table cuisine. After making his mark at MGM Grand’s L’Atelier de Robuchon and Sensi at Bellagio he had the opportunity to reimagine the latter restaurant as Harvest by Roy Ellamar, which celebrates its first anniversary this month. Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen sat with Ellamar in the chef’s dining room to look back at Harvest’s first year, his career and the future of farm-to-table culture. You’re bringing new aeroponics towers into Harvest. When did you first hear about them? We’ve been trying to get these towers installed for a while now. We had them at (Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International) Jim Murren’s office, and that was pretty successful from the spring through the summer. We got to harvest a little bit of produce out of it sort of as a test to see how it works and how the whole logistics are of operating it. It’s kind of cool. It’s a bit of a novelty for now, and then we’ll see how we can expand upon it... What can they produce? It can grow just about everything that can be grown hydroponically, so we can grow lettuces, herbs, tomatoes, thing of the nightshade like eggplants can come out of there, bell peppers. It’s pretty cool. It’s been nearly a year since Harvest opened. Are you happy with how things turned out? Yeah. The first year was finding ourselves and figuring out our identity, understanding the space and how it’s going to work, understanding our guests and clientele. Next year is going to be focused on cementing ... and supporting the concept, and doing more things to drive that concept.
24 12.18.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
That’s the areas we’ll be looking at ... as we move forward. Having the grow towers, that’s important. What else can we do to drive farm-to-table? Of course we’re in the desert, but what can we do, who can we work with, who can we partner with to really solidify and legitimize the concept? You list farms you work with on the menu. Are they relationships you formed over the years in Vegas or were they specifically chosen for Harvest and this menu? There’s different ways. Some of the people I’ve had relationships with for years like Rodney and his wife Christine at Blue Lizard Farm in Caliente. … Relationships, yes, that’s very important—knowing the people and having those relationships with the people that grow the food and harvest it for us. Other times it’s going to the farmers’ markets, meeting people, meeting the farmers, understanding what they grow and how they can get those products to us in the restaurant. Do you see this restaurant as part of a direct lineage to your heritage and culture back on the Big Island? I’m glad you brought that up because that’s another area of
focus that I want to shine a light on next year, is bringing more of that heritage, as you say, of my background from Hawaii and really infusing that more into the food. … Growing up with my family in Hawaii, we always knew where our food was coming from. We always knew who cut the fish or who brought us this pork, or we had killed it ourselves. There’s already a lot that’s been said about that, but it’s important to me because that’s the way I grew up. Do you stay informed on farmto-table technology? Yeah, well here in the desert we’re
limited to what we can grow. The things that we can grow here, a lot of the future is going to be in hydroponics and aeroponics and things like that. It’s just a little easier for the people to grow that way, so there’s a big company that’s starting up soon that will be ready in the spring. They’re doing a whole hydroponic set-up, indoor growing facility, so I think for us that’s a big part of the future. Not just for us as a restaurant, but us as a people. That’s going to be a big trend, growing that way. The use of resources is less. There’s less of an impact on the land, less of an impact on water.

Such a Merry Time
It may not be your typical holiday show, but Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq is exceedingly merry. Marino, host of the female impersonator show, and a female impersonator himself, treats showgoers to a variety of witticisms—and some incredible evening gowns—as he introduces each act. Marino himself has played both a Femme Fatale character and as Joan Rivers during his career, and it’s downright amazing. You might see the likenesses of Cher, Beyoncé, Britney Spears or Diana Ross performing onstage during this Christmas season, and those transformations just might leave you wondering where they put those candy canes. For tickets to Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas, call 702.777.2782.

Carnegie Deli at The Mirage goes through about 2,400 pounds of pastrami in a week. That’s 9,600 pounds in a month and 124,800 pounds in a year. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the average visitor to Las Vegas budgets $530 for gaming.
One question
VINNIE FAVORITO What experiences in life mark a person as an adult—and what were they in your life? Having kids is the biggest experience that challenged me to grow up and be a real adult. Being a comic for so many years, coming up the ranks in Boston playing comedy clubs and headlining in Vegas since 2003, you don’t worry too much about who you may be influencing. However, when you become a dad, you think differently. You think: “I really can’t screw around and keep doing what I’m doing.” My wonderful wife and I have two beautiful kids. When I got my son and then my daughter four years later, they each brought me up a level. I needed to make some real changes. I knew they would look to me just like I did with my father as a role model and expect me to be a man. I knew at that moment, wow, I need to be a good guy. Those amazing angels put my priorities in place. Enough with the nonsense—no excuses, no matter what situation you’re in, your family is your priority. Even though I’m 50-something, that was the turning point. Whatever position you’re in, when you have to be a role model and teach the next generation, it makes you grow up. Vinnie Favorito performs at Westgate Las Vegas. Shows are at 9 p.m. Wed.Sun. Call 800.222.5361 for tickets.

Tradition With a Twist When you’re talking the meatball at Martorano’s, you’re talking rich flavor and tender texture, red sauce and ricotta cheese. It’s huge, and the Italian restaurant is justly famous for that meatball. The restaurant has

quite a following for its crispy fried eggplant, too, a towering stack with mozzarella, tomato and arugula (pictured). Martorano’s exclusively serves imported Rustichella d’Abruzzo pastas and cooks them to al dente perfection,
which you can decipher from your first bite of bucatini carbonara, an energized version of this classic dish. You’ll find a variety of veal, too, including a breaded cutlet with tomatoes, hot peppers and sharp provolone cheese.

A Beautiful Dream The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition in many cities, and in Las Vegas the Nevada Ballet Theater had been performing Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet every December for more than 30 years. In 2012, NBT debuted a new version featuring choreography by artistic director Jack Canfield, and that same year, the production moved to The Smith Center, giving it the world-class venue it deserves. Since then, the production has gotten bigger and more lavish, and select performances feature accompaniment from a full live orchestra, in addition to the large company of dancers and the elaborate stage design. Before heading into Reynolds Hall to witness the story of Clara and the Nutcracker Prince in the magical land of fairies and toy soldiers, audience members can arrive early for the Nutcracker Wonderland in the Troesh Studio Theatre. This holiday experience geared toward families features a special guest arriving before each performance to read E.T.A. Hoffmann’s original story of the Nutcracker. –Josh Bell

Heating Up Winter Searching for Love Something’s sorely missing in this dictionary definition of the word “righteous,” described as: “acting in accord with divine or moral law; free from guilt or sin.” Fine and good, but what about “musically slammin’” and “nostalgically heartwarming”? You don’t invoke that word without pairing it with “Brothers.” Not if you’re an aficionado of those last two definitions, both of which are reinforced at the new Righteous Brothers residency. Original bro Bill Medley

revives the iconic act with Branson veteran Bucky Heard stepping in for the late Bobby Hatfield. Accompanied by an eight-piece band and three female backup singers, they hit all the highlights from a storied career. Revel in the memories when they launch into “Turn On Your Love Light,” “Soul & Inspiration” and “Koko Joe.” Other highlights include Medley’s duet with his surprise guest, his daughter, McKenna, on “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” –Steve Bornfeld
There is some “eye candy” in Australia’s Thunder From Down Under showroom, and the good news is that unlike other holiday treats, it isn’t fattening—but it’s sizzling and sensual.

Magic With Edge Come to Vegas, see a freak show. We mean that literally, as in CRISS ANGEL Mindfreak Live!, the magical spectacle from the mind of the gothstyle prestidigitator. 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, all with a live music soundtrack. 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

Feeling Tied Up It’s really a tale of empowerment, isn’t it? A young woman on a journey of self-exploration, ready to set the world afire, or at least learn how to look hot in a dog collar. In 50 Shades! The Parody, three book club members take on a popular racy novel. Join the ladies as they find Anastasia on college graduation day, lamenting a lack in her life that leaves her soooooo unfulfilled. But wait! It’s not long after meeting that she and her huge crush, Christian, sing and dance and discard their pants. Christian has a few kinks in the bedroom, and works them out in his Red
Room of Pain, with feather dusters, dog collars, whips and chains. He’d really like a friend to join him, a friend who’ll sign a massive contract detailing what can and cannot be done in the hallowed hall. More musical numbers follow, with support from the leather strap-clad cast, and the book club gals, who take Anastasia and Christian’s lessons to heart. –Nina King Bally’s, 9:30 p.m. Tues.-Sun.

Party Brunch Sundae ’Tis the season to indulge, and for the perfect example of that sentiment, head to The Palazzo for the Party Brunch Sundae, available on Saturdays at Lavo’s Party Brunch. This beast features 18 scoops of ice cream, macaroons, waffles, marshmallow, whipped cream, chocolate sauce and sprinkles. Need that “only-in-Vegas” touch? It’s served in a giant ice bowl, and covered tableside with Avion Espresso Liqueur, a blend of Avion silver tequila and espresso. This may just spoil you for any other dessert.

Bright, Shining Stars One of the keys to a long-running Las Vegas show is to include an element that makes it crucial for the audience to come back. That’s part of why Legends in Concert is the Strip’s longest-running hit: It’s continually adding cast members to its list of impersonators, and the attention to detail, from appearance to singing ability, is staggering. The current lineup of impersonators includes Barbra Streisand, Garth Brooks, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. As Barbra Streisand, Sharon Owens should tug at your heartstrings as she sings hits like “The Way We Were.” Then get ready to
get rowdy with Dean Simmons as Garth Brooks. It’ll be a thriller to watch Damian Brantley as Michael Jackson. And you can’t help falling in love for Victor Trevino Jr. as he replicates the great Elvis Presley. Catch the show by Dec. 24, as the cast spreads holiday cheer with a variety of classic songs. –Ken Miller Flamingo, 7:30 p.m. Sun., 7:30 & 9:30 p.m. Mon., 4 & 9:30 p.m. Tues., Thurs. & Sat., 9:30 p.m. Wed.

Before you order that first icy mug of beer, you’ll notice Double Barrel Roadhouse is unlike any other spot on the Strip, feeling more like a comeas-you-are party in a country barn than a typical dining experience. Launch into your munch mission with shareable sliders, orders of three mini sandwiches stuffed with Buffalostyle spicy chicken, barbecue brisket, or juicy pulled pork. Soon you’ll be tempted by that seductive smell of wood smoke, and you’ll want to get to that barbecue. Double Barrel offers meaty slabs of St. Louis-style pork ribs, generously coated with a spicy dry rub and finished with sticky-sweet sauce. Wonderful beef brisket is a perfect match for Southern sides of mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes and fresh corn bread. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Monte Carlo, 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Sun., 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Mon.Thurs., 10 a.m.-1 a.m. Fri.Sat. 702.222.7735

Sensual Delights
Cause and Effect Michael Carbonaro is a man who has found his niche. The Long Island-born magician has been plying his trade since he was a teenager. He further honed his craft at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, expanding not only on his magical capabilities, but also his work as an actor and improv artist. He bounced around on some major productions including appearing in Chappelle’s Show and Not Another Teen Movie. He had his own segment on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno called “Magic Clerk”
where, as the title implies, he was a store clerk who tricked customers with strange magic on hidden camera. That premise was expanded on TruTV with his own show, The Carbonaro Effect, where he fools unsuspecting people with tricks like pulling a live bug out of a cell phone while he’s playing a phone technician. Similarly, he pulls live animals out of envelopes or bowling balls out of flat boxes. Carbonaro is currently touring the U.S., wowing live audiences with the same kind of “effect” found on TV. –Jason Harris
California Calling Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis’ namesake restaurant showcases the star’s California-influenced Italian cooking, resulting in a variety of bright fresh flavors. At dinner, simple spaghetti, served with shrimp and lemon, somehow is so elegant. Other good options include pan-roasted salmon, or maybe a whole roasted chicken, cacciatore-style. If you’re brunching, consider such gems as salmon cake Benedict or chicken and waffles. Finish off with De Laurentiis’ famous lemon-ricotta cookies. –Nina King The Cromwell, 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. & 5-11 p.m. daily, brunch 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Fri.-Sun., lounge 9 a.m.midnight daily. 855.442.3271

Sexxy (Westgate Las Vegas, 800.222.5361) hits on several different styles of dance—everything from a cabaret-style number to “Big Spender” to a hot little number performed on a lips-shaped couch to “Cherry Pie.” But the real centerpiece here is producer and performer Jennifer Romas, who steals the topless show with her bathtub set piece, an intoxicating blend of dance and acrobatics that would fit perfectly into a risque show like Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity. –Ken Miller
Still Dancing He’s bad, he’s bad and he knows it. Who could resist his clean-cut, all-white style in “Smooth Criminal,” his riveting dance sequence in “Thriller” or the iconic sequined white glove appearing in “Billie Jean”? With a legendary career spanning 40-plus years, it’s inevitable that Michael Jackson’s legacy would continue to live on. MJ Live (Stratosphere, 702.380.7777) takes you back to those days and more. It’s like the King of Pop lives again! –Chanelle Hayes

Las Vegas has met that demand with a stellar offering of cigar bar hangouts. Visitors can puff away on some of the finest products available Stripside at Davidoff of Geneva Cigar Bar, the first-ever cigar bar in the brand’s portfolio of boutique retail stores. The 1,500-square-foot indoor-outdoor space at Fashion Show offers patrons the chance to indulge their cigar cravings as well as order a variety of signature and specialty cocktails from the full-service bar. Groups can lounge outdoors on Davidoff’s spacious 50-seat patio—equipped with heaters

to keep guests cozy in the cold—while taking in the sights of Las Vegas Boulevard South. Take a tour through the walk-in humidor and peruse hundreds of first-rate cigars. Divided into four areas for cigar-smoking pleasures, Montecristo Cigar Bar at Caesars Palace also offers guests small bites, specialty cocktails and fine whiskeys. Take a seat at the Signature Bar or relax in The Library or The Courtyard, and for larger groups looking to splurge, reserve the 10-seat Vault Room. Inside this room, guests will enjoy a private dining and whiskey experience, as well as cigar pairings. Longtime hot spot Rhumbar at The Mirage is known for some of the best specialty and signature cocktails in the city. The patio, also
equipped with heaters, has been a popular spot for both tourists and locals to enjoy handcrafted rum cocktails, hookah and live DJ sets. But one of the sometimes unheralded aspects of Rhumbar is that guests can choose from an impressive selection of cigars, most reasonably priced under $10, but there are also a few high-end, coveted brands here. The always-packed Casa Fuente at The Forum Shops at Caesars, an intimate cigar-bar space, celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this year. However, guests have been able to enjoy anniversary specials each month this entire year, as well as the always-stocked favorites Fuente and Ashton cigars, in addition to many other well-known brands. –Kiko Miyasato

Freedom Beat takes regional cuisine and adds Vegas flair Whenever you’re downtown, you may find yourself working up an appetite, and if you want a little live music along with your food, head to Freedom Beat in Downtown Grand. The restaurant is a large cafe space with a long bar, booths and tables on the floor, a second raised area for
more booths and high tops and even a stage. The stage is important in defining the restaurant and its cuisine as Freedom Beat brings in musical acts from local singer-songwriters to worldrenowned guitarists. The menu is designed by Chef Scott Commings, a
38 12.18.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
winner of the popular food competition television show Hell’s Kitchen, who after his victory in season 12 took over the kitchen at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill. Commings’ goal with the cuisine at Freedom Beat is to both represent different areas of the U.S. and to match the
wide range of musical acts the space attracts. He calls it “high-energy, fun food” and that means a lot of hearty dishes from different regions of the country. For those in the mood for a patriotic breakfast, the Red, White and Blue Velvet Waffle is decorated in the colors of

the flag, as a red velvet waffle is topped with cream cheese whip and blueberries. If you’re looking for a cocktail to start, Hanky Panky is the cocktail of choice, with its combo of Aviation gin, sweet vermouth, Fernet-Branca and an orange twist all working harmoniously together. Two appetizers that have that real American feel to them are the chicken-fried bacon and the hoppy ale and cheese soup. The former is as interesting as it sounds, taking a traditional fried chicken dredge and applying it to hunks of pork belly, then giving them a quick fry. The latter is a nod to Commings’ home state of Wisconsin with a blend of cheeses mixed with ale, creating a thick yet velvety soup. It’s topped with bits of pork belly and popcorn to bring in different textures. From the sandwich section, you’ll want to try the double grilled mac and cheese. It might not sound
like it makes sense, but the roasted chili mac is finished on the flattop, giving it an excellent, cheesy crust that sticks to the sourdough bread. It gives the diner both the gratification of a good gooey mac, and a hot sandwich at the same time. The hand-cut fries it comes with are high quality, too. If a family-style meal appeals, you may want to try the Full Smoke platter, with brisket, pork shoulder, hot links and fries. On the lighter side of things, herb-marinated grilled chicken is packed with flavor both from the grill and the toasted pistachio pesto that tops it. A bed of delicious charred veggies sits beneath the fowl. Finish things off with perhaps the most American of all dishes, skillet apple pie is an individual serving the familiar favorite. Vanilla ice cream comes on the side, and those who like the Midwest motif can add cheese on top.

Hexx Cocktail
Katelyn Ix
It’s a sweet life for Hexx’s general manager Katelyn Ix, general manager for Hexx Kitchen & Bar, wants guests to know one thing: “We welcome everyone into our home. We want everyone to come in as a guest and leave as friends and family.” That’s the type of atmosphere and service Ix and her team create at the Stripside venue at Paris hotel. Ix, an Ohio native who grew up in Switzerland, traveled throughout Europe with her family while she was young. Her exposure to different cultures led her to discover a fondness for the culinary arts, and she worked in several restaurants as a teen. But interacting with guests prompted Ix to pursue a front-of-house career. After attending Cornell University, Ix decided that management was where she should be. “I love cooking, but I had an itch to engage more with guests,” she said. “I wanted more
40 12.18.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
exposure to the operations side.” So, after graduating, Ix worked in management jobs that have included L.A.’s Four Seasons Hotel and Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak. Nearly two years ago she got an offer to move to Las Vegas and take a position at Hexx. As general manager Ix oversees day-to-day operations, but also helps grow the business and develop the Hexx identity. When it comes to her staff, “I’m a very hands-on manager,” she said. “There’s nothing that I would ask of my team that I wouldn’t do myself.” After all this time, does she ever get an itch to move back into the kitchen? “I love to cook at home, but no, no desire to go back of house,” Ix said. “I love engaging with guests—being a part of their experience. I can’t imagine doing anything other than what I do.” –Kiko Miyasato
Right next door to the restaurant is Hexx’s retail confection store and chocolate factory. That’s right, there’s a chocolate factory on the Strip! The joy of it? The restaurant uses the freshly made sweets in many of its dishes and cocktails. And, one seriously delicious specialty selection is the Hexx Cocktail. Think chocolate milk … but grown-up and better. The house-made Peruvian cocoa syrup and cocoa-sugar rim balances a mixture of Absolut vodka, Licor 43, Nocello liqueur and heavy cream. I dare you to only drink just one! –KM

Fit for Every Season
Newly renovated spa offers deluxe experience and surroundings What does $1 million worth of luxury look and feel like? The fully renovated Spa at Four Seasons. A hotel brand known the world over, Four Seasons recently reopened its spa, a stylish and impressive example of the brand’s commitment to its upscale offerings. The new theme visually draws visitors in, beginning with the reception area. A stunning art piece made of walnut hardwood stands out and represents the beauty of the desert and nature— two of the design inspirations behind the colors, textiles and artwork seen throughout the spa. Guests can slip into serenity inside the newly expanded Zen Lounge that features sheer curtains, or in private spaces for individuals, couples or groups. Throughout these common, co-ed areas, the surroundings are made of natural
42 12.18.16 LasVegasMagazine.com
materials like bronze, granite and cork, with eucalyptus cabinetry and maple tables. With 12 treatment rooms, including two couples’ suites, guests can indulge in the exemplary treatments that cover everything from skin therapy, men’s treatments and massage to beauty, waxing and body care therapy. The Spa’s new signature services include several highlights. The 50- to 100-minute cupping therapy experience is a detoxifying massage that aims to aid in stimulating circulation and drawing out impurities, with the bonus of promoting skin elasticity. And with winter in full swing, envelop the body in all the scents of the season with the 50- or 80-minute Essence of the Seasons treatment. The full body massage also includes the back
and foot scrub. For a truly unique experience, try the Head to Toe Candle Massage—coconut oil and natural wax coats the entire body, creating a natural massage oil that leaves skin warmed and silky. The Spa at Four Seasons also offers a separate nail bar located next to the spa, and guests can take home a piece of their experience by shopping the newly expanded retail store. The eco-friendly product lines used in many of the spa’s treatments—including the brands Naturopathica, Pure Fiji and Ajne—are available for purchase as are the latest trends in seasonal athletic wear, specialty gifts and Four Seasons logo items. –Kiko Miyasato Four Seasons, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily. 702.632.5302

From 10 to one, just like in “Uhh Ahh” from their debut album Cooleyhighharmony, Boyz II Men—comprised of Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris and Shawn Stockman—countdown right before stepping into the spotlight at The Mirage. The trio run through some of their biggest hits including the mellow “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” and the beautiful dedication to mothers, “A Song for Mama,” in addition to “On Bended Knee” and “Water Runs Dry” from the Grammy Award-winning album II. Getting serenaded by these three is no myth—they are known to have a few sexy slow jams or two. During “I’ll Make Love to You,” long-stemmed red roses are given out to lucky ladies while the rendition of “End of the Road” gets more up close and personal with in-theaudience action. The fellas take it back to their high school days in Philly, singing The Five Satins’ “In the Still of the Night”—a capella style. The Temptations’ “My Girl” and Smokey Robinson’s “The Tracks of My Tears” make the set list as Boyz II Men pay homage to Motown. But no show is complete without the feel-good sounds of “Motownphilly,” a track that depicts where their rise to fame all began. –Chanelle Hayes

the Malaysian-born “Mandopop” singer spent the second half of this year on a comeback tour that took her to Singapore, Australia and England. Her Las Vegas appearance is one
of two dates scheduled in the U.S., making it possible for legions of Leong-covering karaoke singers to catch their idol live for the first time. Leong started her own career covering other people’s songs and was discovered by Taiwanese label Rock Records, which released her debut album Yi Ye Zhang Da (Grown Up Overnight) in 1999. The charismatic singer quickly followed up with hit album after hit album of love balladry delivered in her delicate vocal style. Songs of forbidden romance such as “Happy Break-up” and “Courage” captured the imaginations of Leong’s devotees, who have been treated to visual extravaganzas at Leong’s live shows in the past. The U.S. dates of her fourth and current tour, Tu t’appelles l’amour (Love Is Your Name) should prove no different, as Leong reportedly rode above the crowds in a chandelier in Singapore. –Matt Kelemen

International Sensation
During the holiday season, when Americans often stay home to spend time with their families, Las Vegas typically opens its showrooms to international pop stars with massive followings outside the U.S., as an alternative for foreign tourists taking advantage of favorable travel conditions. Iranian pop sensation Ebi has made many Christmastime Vegas stops over the years, and this year he’s playing his most high-profile Vegas venue yet, with a Christmas Eve show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Once dubbed “an Iranian version of the British singer Tom Jones” by the BBC, Ebi has spent the last 30-plus years entertaining Iranians around the world, since leaving his native country before the 1979 revolution. Although his music (sung in his native Farsi) is smooth and accessible, Ebi has also been an outspoken political activist, recording songs like his 2009 single “Tasmim,” criticizing Iran’s presidential election. In concert, though, he’s all about spectacle, and his Vegas show will mark the conclusion of the tour supporting his 2014 album Jane Javani, with concerts lasting nearly three hours, combining new songs and hits from his long career. –Josh Bell
Resident Headliners
The Get Down
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 ParliamentFunkadelic and Sly and the Family Stone had already found success and paved the way for groups such as Cameo, founded by Larry Blackmon. Lead singer Blackmon, Tomi Jenkins, Charlie Singleton, Aaron Mills, Anthony Lockett, Jeff Nelson, Jonathan Moffett and Kevin Kendrick run through the group’s biggest hits, “Single Life,” “Back and Forth,” “She’s Strange,” and, of course, “Candy” and “Word Up.” It’s a concert experience that’s all so funky, yet so fresh. –CH Westgate Las Vegas, 7 p.m. Thurs.-Sun.

Human Nature injects holiday cheer into its Jukebox By Steve Bornfeld Now that 2016’s monthly calendar is down to its last page, you’ve no doubt been feeling the ho-ho-ho in your heart-heart-heart. That’s just Human Nature. So is—at least for these dudes who carry that name— musical yuletide innovation. “We came up with a mashup of ‘Silent Night’ and ‘O Holy Night,’” says Toby Allen, who is a quarter of the vocalizing quartet that’s adding jingle-bell rockin’ into their resident production, Jukebox. Yet don’t fret—the backbeat’s subdued out of reverence for those holiday hymnals. “It’s quite powerful. Maybe because I’m a dad now with 3 ½-yearold twins and Christmas has taken on this whole other meaning, every time I sing that onstage I tear up.” However, there’s more than enough ho-ho-ho to divvy up between Allen and his Aussie musical mates—Phil Burton and brothers Andrew and Mike Tierney—as they lend their trademark pop-rock style to seasonal favorites including “White Christmas,” “Winter Wonderland” and “Christmas Baby Please Come Home.” Like musical candy canes, they add holiday flavoring to their blend of Motown, doo-wop, pop and soul that bounces

Culinary Triumph Few restaurants make you feel as warm and welcome as Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak (The Mirage, 702.791.7223). For starters, it’s right under the resort’s giant atrium, so there’s lots of lush foliage and water features to enjoy as you wait to be seated. But the venue itself also has a very inviting vibe: dark, burnished wood dominates the décor, and the wood motif expands to the piles of firewood displayed at
