Shawn McClain

Chef’s successes continue in Vegas With Libertine Social ranking high on year-end “Best of” lists, Shawn McClain enters 2017 knowing his third Las Vegas culinary concept is a success. The Mandalay Bay restaurant reflects the tastes of fictional freewheeling bachelor “Kyle,” with expertly crafted cocktails (conceived by mixology master Tony Abou-Ganim) and a new spin on casual dining.

The chef behind Aria’s Sage and Five50 Pizza Bar spoke with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen the morning Vegas public radio station KNPR announced Libertine Social as Las Vegas’ Best New Restaurant.

I came by Libertine Social last night for bar dining, planning to try the Scotch olives and a “local fare” dish. They brought out a Modern Fried Egg and it flipped the entire experience.

Chef Jamaal (Taherzadeh), who is our executive chef here, said, “I’d love to work something into an egg and I’ve been thinking about these ideas.” So we kind of worked through the ideas. It is like a perfect little bite, but it’s an unexpected bite and I think it really captures a great essence of making this a more in-depth experience than just a great beer and a great cocktail and some snacks.

Were there other items that became breakout hits?

I think they’ve all had their little day. The churros, right off the bat.

The Parmesan churros, the savory churros … a churro is a decadent dessert. We’re really trying to grab people by reintroducing a new look on food and not making it too complicated. We’re always striving forward and we’re always changing things. The egg and a few things are probably not going to change, other than what’s in the egg.

Did you mean for Libertine to be a West Coast contrast with Sage, which could fit in

24 12.25.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Chicago’s dining scene?

I think the story began with Mandalay Bay and understanding the space, understanding what Mandalay Bay needed. I think the social aspect and the West Coast stuff rather quickly evolved. The mixology and the bar program quickly attached itself to that creative idea early on, and then the rest just came organically.

The bartender has sight lines like it’s a street scene, and the curved design both showcases the bartenders for passers-by and creates more of a connection when they sit at the bar.

Tony just had an idea of … when he’s at a bar he wants to see faces. He wants to see people interacting, and not just a line of 20 chairs with everybody’s backs to the space. He wanted the design to create a space with little pockets of interaction, and it really has worked.

The lounge is very inviting.

It’s a different look than most restaurants, which is, “This is for the diners.” When you walk by here, it’s like, “Come on in, check this out.”

We started with the premise that we wanted the dining away (in its own area), but to that effect we also wanted the kitchen to

be incredibly visible and fire to be seen from the get-go, because that automatically changes the

dynamic of the lounge, because the lounge is no longer, “Let’s go grab a drink.”

Get into the holiday spirit at the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, which unveiled The Wonders of Winter display.

Guests are greeted with visually stunning pieces like the 42-foot white fir tree decked out in 7,000 lights and 2,500 ornaments.

Whimsical characters like penguins and polar bears add to the seasonal delights—many are made up of hundreds of carnations and hydrangeas. Many more magical moments await, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through Jan. 2.

Season of Giving

Celebrating the holidays while in Las Vegas doesn’t mean you can’t still play Santa. Is there some last-minute gift giving that needs to be done? Amazon and The Linq Promenade to the rescue with the Sip & Ship promotion through Dec. 31. Visitors can safely ship their Amazon.com orders to the Amazon Locker located at The Linq Promenade. When checking out online, customers can select The Linq Promenade as the delivery address and retrieve their orders by entering their individual pick-up code on the locker’s touch screen. In addition to picking up packages, pick up a cocktail or two, as The Tilted Kilt and American Beer & Cocktails will offer one complimentary beer or well cocktail. Simply present your email confirmation or receipt from Amazon and enjoy a little holiday cheer.

Happy shopping and sipping!

According to a survey funded by Seats and Stools, someone paid $40,955 to watch the 2015 Floyd Mayweather/ Manny Pacquiao fight, making it one of the top 10 most expensive seats ever sold.

In 2016, magician David Copperfield bought Las Vegas’ most expensive home.

It’s 31,000 square feet and features a gym, nightclub, spa and a movie theater—all for just $17.5 million.

Las Vegas Boulevard has had many other names throughout its history, including 5th Street, Arrowhead Highway and Salt Lake Highway.

Ring a Ding Ding Places to party this New Year’s

No pajamas, watching the ball drop on television and in bed by 12:01. You’re in Las Vegas, so you want to party come Dec. 31.

Here’s some suggestions to get you started.

(For more NYE events, turn to page 50.)

Catch panoramic views of fireworks on Strip with Beer Park and Chateau Nightclub & Rooftop, both at Paris and both throwing parties on their outdoor decks.

Hyde goes black tie with its masquerade party—fountain shows included at the lakeside nightclub at Bellagio. Foxtail nightclub at SLS Las Vegas welcomes resident DJ Hollywood to ring in the new year with a special performance. Country music fans can celebrate with Scotty Alexander, as he performs inside Gilley’s Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que at Treasure Island.

For some patio partying, Cabo Wabo Cantina at Miracle Mile Shops offers guests access to its Stripside patio for optimum viewing of the fireworks. More patio fun?

Try Hard Rock Live on the Strip. Your ticket price includes live music, viewing the fireworks from the expansive patio and goodies including food stations, party favors, premium open bar and champagne toast.

Caesars Palace’s Roman Plaza Courtyard features fireworks viewing, a dessert bar and “all-you-care-to-drink” packages.

For awesome ’80s fun, The Linq Hotel opens its meeting space, The Vortex, for partygoers New Year’s Eve. Enjoy a secondstory observation deck with views of the Strip and the Promenade, as well as the fireworks. Guests will be treated to an open bar, bites, go-go dancers and all the decade’s raddest hits. At the Stratosphere, hit the tower for parties from 107 SkyLounge to the observation deck. –Kiko Miyasato

Face it. They’re faceless. Facial expressiveness should not be on your list of expectations while experiencing the artistry of the masked, miming Jabbawockeez during their inventive production, Jreamz: Journey Within. Yet the purposeful facelessness only heightens the sensations you’ll feel.

Sleek choreography peppered with signature gravity-defying break dancing frames a trippy tableau of music, 3-D video projections, physical comedy and audience interaction that, as the title indicates, coalesces into an onstage dreamscape.

Jreamz’s plot—yes, there’s a plot—involves the character of PJ as a zombie—a metaphor for a fellow living a mundane life. As the vivid atmospherics pour forth, the zombie is encouraged by his fellow Jabbas to bust some killer moves and awaken to the reinvigorating joys of a zesty life. And as an announcer informs us at the climax: “Choose life. Whatever you do, don’t be a zombie.” –Steve Bornfeld

An Impressive Spin Serving Up Satisfaction Burger Brasserie’s all-star lineup of gourmet ground-beef creations makes settling on a main course a difficult decision, though the choice is somewhat ameliorated by the option of Angus beef sliders.

The three sliders can be chosen from classic cheeseburger or Brasserie’s signature blue cheese and Paris burger styles.

The main ingredient of the sharp-and-salty blue cheese burger comes exclusively from family-owned Shaft’s Cheese Company of

California; while the Paris burger’s addition of Brie to caramelized onion and smoked bacon should definitely be experienced. For the ultimate encounter, try the $777 Kobe beef and Maine lobster burger, served with a bottle of Rose Dom Perignon.

Turkey and chicken come between buns as well, and there are sandwiches for people that just don’t want a beef burger. The lamb burger is excellent , with mushrooms, feta and cucumber trimmings. –Matt Kelemen

Mystère, served up on a revolving stage inside a custom-built theater, is certainly an amazing acrobatic buffet. One aerialist performs within a giant metal cube, both on the ground and while airborne. Another one flips, spins and twists on a vertical strip of fabric that appears to stretch up into infinity. Bungee jumpers bounce and swing as they scrape the ceiling, gymnasts turn a trampoline into an artistic canvas, and Japanese taiko drummers pound out thunderous, infectious rhythms. –SB Treasure Island, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Sat.-Wed., additional 7 & 9:30 p.m. shows Dec. 30, $69$125 plus tax and fee. 702.894.7722

Striking Gold You’ve heard that all that glitters is not gold?

You heard wrong. Gold glitters brightly—and everywhere—at Paint the Town Gold, Mandalay Bay’s extravagant New Year’s Eve celebration.

During the event, enjoy gold-themed décor and spirits at lounges and bars including the sports book, the Mizuya Lounge (featuring a Great Gatsby theme), the Eyecandy sound lounge (with go-go-dancers in gold) and the Orchid Lounge (where the TJ Tyler Trio performs songs from the Sinatra era).

Pure fun also waits inside several restaurants, including golden flake desserts, balloon drops and specialty drinks. At House of Blues, enjoy a $60 all-you-can-drink “I Want My M80s” show package. Special décor and menus highlight Stripsteak, Foundation Room and Libertine Social. Not to be out-goldened, Spa Mandalay plans a “gold-dust” massage (moisturizing body milk infused with gold peptides and a dusting of gold iridescent powder) and a golden-veil facial (with a golden mask covering

Since the weather isn’t ideal to perfect that tan, this is where to go to get that golden glow. If

you’re staying at Mandalay Bay, you can even get golden champagne or beer delivered to your room. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Fueling the Fire You might not think he stands out in a crowd— just another green (with bursts of red and gold), grumpy, scaly creature walking his Chihuahua on the Strip. And yet …“There’s nothing women in Las Vegas love more than a magic dragon,” says John van der Put—Piff the Magic Dragon to you—as Angela Stabile, co-producer of his Flamingo gig, can affirm. “He gets proposals all the time,” she says with a touch of amazement.

The London-born, dragon-costumed comedian/magician’s 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.”

For Piff’s Christmas special, Piff’s Piffmas Piff-Tacular, he’ll be launching his inaugural “Piff for Pets” holiday food drive. Anyone who brings in an unopened bag of dog food will receive a free poster of Piff. –Steve Bornfeld Flamingo, 8 p.m. Mon.-Wed., additional 5:30 & 8 p.m. shows through Dec. 30, additional 8 p.m. show Jan. 1, $52.95-$72.95 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.733.3333

Beer Park Hot Chocolate Yes, you’re in the desert, but it sure feels like winter once you hit the sidewalk. Luckily, Beer Park at Paris has just the thing to warm your tummy this holiday season: Beer Park Hot Chocolate. This wonderful concoction combines Bailey’s Irish Cream, Frangelico and Hexx hot chocolate into a “Solo Cup” (don’t worry—it’s actually thick plastic, so don’t worry about the heat), topped with whipped cream, sprinkled cinnamon and a cinnamon stick. A few sips of this and you won’t mind heading back outside.

Back to Basics With so many options for what a nightlife experience can be, how do people decide which party will be the party for them? The answer is LAX at Luxor.

The name is one of many, but the nightclub is one of few that have kept its doors open year after year. Much of the success can be attributed to Anthony Olheiser, LAX’s executive director of brand activation. His goal: create a quality nightlife experience, but one that is also accessible and affordable. “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 experience,” he says. “My goal is to go back to what clubs were back in the day, when it was really about the party, really about the dancing, really about the experience. When (it) was approachable, affordable, fun and less of a business.” And that strategy includes fostering up-and-coming DJs—a musical format that stretches from EDM and hip-hop to pop and top 40—and LAX’s branded Throwback Thursdays.

That earmarked evening welcomes musical guests from the ’80s, ’90s and early ’00s.

Pop Culture Personalities Frank Marino’s impact on the entertainment scene over the last 30 years is undeniable.

The female impersonators in his show, Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas, have appeared in Toddlers & Tiaras, Long Island Medium, Millionaire Matchmaker, The Oprah Winfrey Show, America’s Got Talent and much more.

Also undeniable is the appeal of Marino’s show, which features a rotating cast impersonating more than a dozen of pop culture’s most iconic personalities on any given night—Tina Turner, Lady Gaga, Bette Midler and Madonna to

name just a few. As Marino asks, “Why see only one star when you can see them all?”

A particular highlight is Derrick Barry, who delivers an uncanny Britney Spears. According to Marino, Barry, who recently appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race, is “Britney’s personal favorite.” Marino serves as emcee, which includes many costume changes and some very risqué humor based on current events. –Ken Miller The Linq Hotel, 9:30 p.m. daily (dark Dec. 31), $26.99-$97.88 plus tax and fee, 12+. 702.777.2782

Never Stop Laughing The only reason he does it is because he loves it so much. He sure doesn’t need the money. But Jerry Seinfeld will likely always need to perform stand-up comedy.

The master of the minutiae was already one of the hottest club comics in the country before Seinfeld debuted on NBC and the American viewing audience was introduced to “The Contest,” “The Soup Nazi” and “The Fusilli Jerry.” As the star rose to icon status, the show became so popular that quotes from it are still in the everyday lexicon nearly 20 years later.

The same level of detail is brought into his standup routines. On public speaking: “According to most studies, people’s No. 1 fear is public speaking. No. 2 is death.

Death is No. 2. Does that sound right? This means the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” Jerry Seinfeld is still the master of his domain. And his domain is standup comedy. –Jason Harris Caesars Palace, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 26-27, $82.50-$165 plus tax and fee. 888.929.7849

Jazz, swing, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman.” –Penny Levin The Orleans, 8 p.m. Dec. 29-30, starting at $19.95 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000

And although it might be listed on the vegan menu, the chocolate cake with ancho chile-peanut butter frosting is pretty intense, and the strawberry sauce has a spiciness of its own.

Cisco Torres

Model cocktail server starts new trend Cisco Torres has broken the proverbial glass ceiling. He’s the first—both at Ghostbar Dayclub and the Palms—male model cocktail server. “If a woman can do it, why can’t I?” he says. “So I told myself, I’m just gonna go for it.” When applying to work at GBDC again this season he put together a collage of his photos from last year when he worked as a busser. He would get dressed up for the themes and even wore costumes, and guests would always ask him to be in their pictures. So this year, he decided that he’d go for the server position.

“I hope male cocktail servers become a trend.

I hope that it becomes accepted,” says the Las Vegas native. While he admits that sometimes he gets the craziest looks because it’s so unusual for a cocktail server to be male, for the most part, it’s been a success.

40 12.25.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Torres has a lot of experience in the food and beverage industry, having worked as everything from a host, cashier and busser to a bartender and server. He began his career with Station Casinos and joined Palms Pool two years ago.

When the pool season ended, he applied for the winter day club, now in its sixth season.

“GBDC is a crazy, one-of-a-kind party,” Torres says. “Everyone should experience it.

There’s different themes, costumes. It’s vibrant, upbeat—never a dull moment. I’ve seen a kiddie pool with girls getting sprayed with champagne, a crazy bachelor party next to a crazy bachelorette party, famous people just showing up. I see young. I see old. Locals, tourists. Everyone!”

And Torres is smack-dab in the middle of it, helping raise the roof even higher since breaking through the ceiling. –Kiko Miyasato

The Emoji Bomb specialty cocktails represent the fun atmosphere of GBDC. Guests can order one to kick their partying into high gear as it’s filled with a choice of Jägermeister or vodka and Monster Energy drink. If you order an Emoji Bomb, you’ll get a token to use on the new claw machine. Prizes include free drinks, bottle service and even a onenight stay in the Hardwood Suite. On Dec. 31, guests can get wild way before midnight as GBDC throws its “NYE During the Day” party. Highlights include countdowns from around the world, champagne toasts and DJs Seany Mac and Mark Stylz keeping the beats hot and heavy. –KM

If anyone can be credited with the rise of socalled “bro country,” then Luke Bryan is a prime candidate. But while some of Bryan’s imitators have taken the party-friendly attitude of his music and forgotten the solid craftsmanship and respect for country traditions, Bryan has become a superstar by balancing the various aspects of his sound, expanding the audience for country music while appealing to the genre’s core fans. It helps that Bryan started out as a Nashville songwriter, mastering the fundamentals of country music while penning songs for artists like Travis Tritt and Billy Currington.

Since launching his career as a solo artist, Bryan has regularly topped the country charts, and his hits include “Drunk on You,” “Country Girl (Shake It for Me),” “That’s My Kind of Night” and “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day,” which is from Bryan’s most recent album, 2015’s Kill the Lights. It’s easy to detect the themes in Bryan’s songs, but even if he’s singing about beer, trucks and women, he gives each song a level of personality that too many of his peers lack. He’s the kind of guy you’d be happy to call your bro. –Josh Bell

We Want Them “Can you honestly tell me you forgot? Forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, or the charisma of Rick Nielsen?” Mike Damone certainly made mistakes in Fast Times At Ridgemont High, but he was right about powerful rock ’n’ rollers Cheap Trick.

If you want to feel the tunes the way Damone did, then there is only one place to be on Dec. 31: The Foundry at SLS Las Vegas, where Cheap Trick brings more than 40 years of rock experience to the stage to ring in the New Year. The band from Rockford, Ill. is a mainstay on classic rock radio with songs that both rabid fans and casual listeners know and love.

Check out Cheap Trick at Budokan—the album that elevated the trio from just another rock outfit to absolute superstars—to get an idea of how powerful they are live. When Zander exclaims, “I Want You ... To Want Me,”

you have no choice but to want to sing along with him.

Then there’s Nielsen, a colorful personality often wielding a 12-string guitar, crushing solos on songs like “Dream Police”, the titular track off the trio’s 1979 followup album.

Go. Have fun. Because mommy’s all right.

Daddy’s all right. They just seem a little weird.

Style to Spare

There will no doubt be “Gin and Juice,” but it’s a smart bet that alcohol will be second on the list of things enjoyed at Snoop Dogg’s stop at The Joint (naturally), part of the Puff Puff Pass Tour 2.

The man born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. has been a pop cultural mainstay since Dr. Dre’s The Chronic was released in late 1992. He exploded on tracks like “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” “Dre Day” and “Let Me Ride.” Snoop’s first album, Doggystyle, was released in 1993 and with hits like “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?,” The Doggfather and Dre solidified themselves as the preeminent rapper/producer duo in West Coast hip hop. The two became synonymous with Death Row Records.

But no matter the ups or downs, the man has always managed to stay in the spotlight and ingratiate himself to the general public.

His playful on-camera work with Martha Stewart is hilarious, and he’s clearly a caring father who wants the best for his children, as seen on his reality show, Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood.

Perhaps it’s no longer a “gangsta party,” but it will be quite the shindig nonetheless. –Jason Harris

Back Together?

Refashioning Dec. 31 as “Wu Year’s Eve” seems to have Wu-Tang Clan members RZA, GZA, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, U-God, Masta Killa, Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna on the same page. Fans are skeptical as U-God, alleging he’s owed back royalties, has reportedly filed a lawsuit, but U-God is still on the bill.

The creators of Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) reconvened in Denver for New Years Eve 2013 and performed a handful of international and domestic dates in 2016, so the structure is in place to assemble everyone. –Matt Kelemen Planet Hollywood Resort, 9 p.m. Dec. 31, starting at $69 plus tax and fee.

If there was any doubt Maroon 5 has made playing Las Vegas on New Years Eve a tradition, its scheduled two-concert sayonara to 2016 erases it. The L.A.-based band both creates the ultimate “Auld Lang Syne” event for its fans and gets to invite its own entourage of friends to party with them during and after the show.

Frontman Adam Levine and his bandmates will need the stress relief after a year of mostly being on the road, touring through Mexico and South America and spending a summer month

in Europe before heading back to the States where they would have a new top 10 hit by the end of the year with “Don’t Wanna Know.”

Maroon 5 added the song to its set list at a Sept. 3 show in San Antonio and began performing it during encores that ended with a cover of Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” Although rapper Kendrick Lamar would add his signature lyrical dexterity to the “Don’t Wanna Know” single and a show-closing performance at the American Music Awards, the band would have

to perform it without him on tour and during appearances on The Voice and Ellen, as well as in a video that found M5 dressed as Pokémon characters on the lam from mobile-app addicts.

No problem for an act that Billboard included in its list of the top 100 artists of all time. The tropical-sounding track masterminded by hitmaker Benny Blanco was released Oct. 11 and quickly became Twitter’s most tweetedabout single, with the video premiering on the Today show three days later. The video depicts

Maroon 5 brings yearlong exertions to a close at Mandalay Bay

By Matt Kelemen Levine delivering his familiar falsetto while dressed as a turtle, and crossing paths with Ed Helms and Vince Vaughn while lamenting his lost love Sarah Silverman. It’s the band’s second collaboration with Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin, who had previously worked with the band on the video for “Sugar.”

While the video demonstrates that Levine, guitarists Jesse Carmichael and James Valentine, bassist Mickey Madden, drummer Matt Flynn and keyboardist PJ Morton have a sense

of humor about themselves, a mini-documentary of the 2016 Brazilian tour dates produced

by Live Nation TV and Vice gives backstage glimpses of the band. Levine and Valentine rehearse “Girl From Ipanema” before a concert during which Levine sings a verse of the bossa nova classic in Portuguese, drawing an ecstatic response from the audience.

The year also found Carmichael releasing an EP with his side project Circuit Jerks and Valentine being honored with a signature model

guitar by Ernie Ball. Maroon 5 will be back on the road in February and March, but recording a new album in 2017 is a priority. Valentine described their next song cycle to ABC Radio as likely to have a little darker, more stripped-down sound, but fans can expect the band to hold off on getting moody until after the New Years Eve concerts. Last year David Copperfield came to the after party, and even if the illusionist has his own plans this year the band has every intention of delivering two nights of musical magic.
