Legendary Stand-Up Comedian
Katt Williams
to Perform at Park Theater at Monte Carlo in Las Vegas on Saturday, January 7 at 9pm Multi-Talented Comic will be First Non-Music Act to Perform at MGM Resorts International’s Newest Entertainment Venue
Legendary stand-up comic and multi-talented entertainer Katt Williams will be the first comedian to take the stage at the all-new Park Theater at Monte Carlo Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday, January 7 at 9pm. Williams will bring his signature brand of sharp-tongued comedy and quick-witted antics center stage at Las Vegas’ newest entertainment venue for a one-night-only special engagement. He is the first non-music act to be announced as part of Park Theater’s ever-growing roster of live entertainment. With thousands of sold-out shows and numerous TV and blockbuster film appearances spanning an impressive 20-year career, Williams has earned a worldwide reputation as one of today’s top entertainers. Wielding a unique ability to masterfully blend rapid-fire wit with thought-provoking dialogue that’s rooted in today’s forbidden topics, the proclaimed urban public official has continually proven himself as an industry innovator. Fresh off of his hugely successful Conspiracy Theory national tour, Williams is recharged and armed with an arsenal of engaging material that will have audiences bursting with laughter and continuing the conversation long after the lights come down. Park Theater will serve as the gateway to the already vibrant entertainment district along the renowned Las Vegas Strip, complementing the recently opened T-Mobile Arena, the adjacent two-acre Toshiba Plaza and The Park. The new 5,200-seat entertainment venue, with its advanced audio and visual technology, will provide artists of diverse talents with a dynamic space to create one-of-a-kind productions where every seat allows guests to feel up close and personal. From comedy shows and live concerts, to sporting events and award shows, Park Theater is specially designed with the ability to transform seamlessly for any occasion. Park Theater is the first step in the recently announced reimagination of Monte Carlo. The transformation, taking place over the next two years, will include two distinct hotel experiences—a Las Vegas version of the Sydell Group’s famed NoMad Hotel and the launch of a new luxury hotel named Park MGM. Each hotel will feature fully redesigned hotel guest rooms and innovative food & beverage offerings, highlighted by Eataly, a vibrant Italian marketplace with cafés, to-go counters and full-service restaurants interspersed with high-quality products from sustainable Italian and local producers. Tickets for Katt Williams range from $49 to $85, not including applicable services charges. Tickets can be purchased online at ParkTheaterLV.com or Ticketmaster.com. Tickets can also be purchased through the MGM Resorts International Call Center at (866) 740-7711. For more show and ticket information, visit ParkTheaterLV.com.

Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey Saturday Night Live veterans reunite for SLS residency
Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz became fast friends 30 years ago as Saturday Night Live cast members and have been looking for excuses to work together even since. Now SLS is giving them an excuse to meet up for weekends in Vegas starting Jan. 6 with the duo’s new and mostly monthly residency Reunited. Carvey and Lovitz will appear at The Foundry at least 20 times in 2017. The comedy veterans spoke with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen. How have you developed the show so far? Have you talked about what you want to do musically? Jon, you play piano and sing, and Dana’s an excellent drummer. Carvey: Right, thank you. We’ll definitely play around with that. We’ll probably have a little drum set. We’ll have a keyboard piano, and we’re definitely going to do some of that during the third act of the show after each of us does their stand-up. That’s going to be the fun part of it. I will definitely try to re-create my drum solo from Wayne’s World each night. Lovitz: We’ve actually played around at my house together. Somehow musically we think very similar, because we both loved The Beatles growing up and a lot of the same bands, so we kind of have this thing … not that we are The Beatles at all, but I’m just saying that sensibility of rock, we have the same sensibility so we play well together. You’ve appeared together before an audience several times in the past few years. To some degree, does this feel like an extension of what you’ve done in podcasts and 2015’s Laugh Factory event?
22 1.1.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
Lovitz: We used to want to work together all the time on Saturday Night Live but it was tough getting sketches on together. We loved just hanging out. We’ll probably do an opening number and each of us do a half hour of stand-up, then come out and do a question and answer, and show videos of sketches. Carvey: And Vegas is fun. Nothing against Altoona or Walla Walla, Washington. Vegas is close to where I live now. I can drive or fly. It’s got everything, so it’s kind of nice that I have a place to go play once a month with Jon. It seems like a fun thing to do. Are you going to re-create SNL sketches or are you going to talk about them during the Q&A? Lovitz: Yeah, that was the idea. I don’t know about doing the same sketches over. I don’t think it would work. Maybe something new would, but it’s like competing with yourself. But yeah, people ask. We did one sketch called “You Mock Me,” and it was very silly. I remember during the sketch, it was John Malkovich, and we would make fun of John Malkovich behind his back. My whole goal was to make people laugh. I just went nuts in that
sketch, and then he started doing it, too. He was trying to do it to me, and it escalated to the point of ridiculousness, and I started laughing onstage at one point. I think it will be interesting for people to see the rapport you have, if they haven’t heard you in the podcasts. You guys are almost like brothers in the way you go at each other … well, maybe Jon toward Dana a little more. Lovitz: Well, that podcast I wasn’t saying that much because it was more about me interviewing Dana about him and his career and everything, but that is true. We’re very close friends and fond of each other in … a straight way.
Apart from the residency, are you focused on stand-up? Lovitz: Yeah, doing that all over in clubs and theaters, and also I did a small part in a movie recently and I did the TV show Celebrity Apprentice. That’s not acting. I’m totally being myself trying to do these impossible tasks. Carvey: Is it true that instead of Trump saying “You’re fired,” Arnold says, “Get to the chopper?” Lovitz: No, no one knows what it’s really going to be. He would try different things. He even said in the press conference, he goes, “I’m not sure. I’m going to say different things.” So what it’s finally going to be, I don’t know.

Tastes of the Season
With the arrival of winter come the arrival of seasonal menus up and down the Las Vegas Strip. Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at MGM Grand features a four-course winter tasting menu for $55, all from chef de cuisine Jean Paul Labadie. Enjoy first and second courses like hamachi lettuce wraps, Creole boiled shrimp cocktail and gumbo with shrimp. Entreés include grilled filet of beef, pan-fried rainbow trout with jumbo lump crab and bacon-braised Brussels sprouts. And choose from desserts like pecan pie or Emeril’s banana cream pie.

Fresh Start Get the bod ready as the calendar turns
A new year, a new you. To get your body ready for 2017, Las Vegas offers some of the best spa environments in the world—many offering sweet seasonal services. Canyon Ranch SpaClub at The Venetian and The Palazzo offers facials, scrubs and massages. There’s also the brandied cranberry-fig mani pedi—a highly hydrating experience for dry hands and feet packed with natural fruit extracts and shea butter. Over at The Spa at The Linq, the sparkling winter pedicure uses whipped honey salt scrub and marshmallow melt body butter to help heal dry or cracked skin. Winter certainly does its damage to the skin, so Drift Spa and Hammam at Palms currently offers a special on its deep pore-cleansing facial for only $90, regularly priced at $145. You can throw in a caramel apple massage, too, regularly priced at $150. It’s currently $95 for 50 minutes. For those that can pull themselves out of bed come Jan. 1, the Rio Spa & Salon offers a New Year’s Day special—either a deep cleansing facial or detoxifying body wrap, both priced at $100. For a real treat for a new year and new you, indulge in the premier celebration package at the Aria Spa and Salon. Coming in at four hours of treatment time, it includes a hot stone or signature revitalizing massage, a vitaboost face and guava body experience and a coconut milk bath, plus complimentary champagne and Jean Philippe Patîsserie dessert. Guests booking this package also receive a take-away gift. –Kiko Miyasato

Rate this one NFTE—as in Not For Tender Ears. We’d provide proof in the form of one-liners except … well, we’re constrained by propriety. Not a problem, though, for edgy comedian Katt Williams. Anyone who hasn’t experienced Williams’ blistering stand-up can get the idea from just the title of some of his TV comedy specials, such as The Pimp Chronicles, which included one piece called “This (Blank) Right Here (Blank).” (The blanks, by the way, are ours, not his.) Haven’t experienced him onstage yet? Then you might have run into him on the screen—both big and small—in the sketch comedy series Wild ‘n Out, and the Eddie Murphy comedy Norbit. And your ears might also recognize Williams’ talents as a rapper, which he’s deployed on songs for Baby Bash, The Game and Suga Free, and in his debut album, It’s Pimpin’ Pimpin. Oh, and a word of advice: Katt’s been known to take on hecklers rather aggressively, so limit your responses to laughter—which should be pretty easy, you (blankety-blank). –Steve Bornfeld

When You Need Steak Elevating the Magic Entertainment, shake hands with subversion. Each shares the spotlight when Penn & Teller—i.e., tall, talkative Penn Jillette and wordless Teller—take the stage for a show that’s a brand-name recipe for magical goodness. Expect nothing as simple as mere abracadabra. Instead, expect World Series-level illusions—dazzling fastballs and mystifying off-speed pitches. Watch as Teller escapes from a helium-filled trash bag—without letting the gas do likewise.

Witness an audience member ushered onstage to participate in a bit of misdirection, only to vanish in a flash, replaced by Teller. Yet it’s when they expose fakery and make points about personal liberty (a tutorial on fooling airport metal detectors involving bits of metal and the Bill of Rights) that they apply their style-meets-substance trademark. And whatever side of the gun control debate you’re on, you’ll be riveted by their signature “bullet catch.” –SB
At N9NE Steakhouse, it probably goes without saying you’ll be tempted to try a steak, and from a 16-ounce bone-in filet mignon to the 14-ounce prime New York sirloin, you will not regret that choice. There are plenty of great side dishes, too. We recommend starting with George’s creamed corn, an unbelievably thick and rich version of the classic. Potato options here are plentiful, including lobster mashed potatoes and truffle French fries. Don’t forget your veggies, especially the fresh creamed spinach, containing bacon and topped with a Parmesan gratin. –Ken Miller Palms, 5:30-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 5:30-11 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.933.9900

Built on Excellence Sage has but one goal: To overwhelm your senses. Does it succeed? Absolutely. The menu is loaded with surprises around every corner, adding to the already stellar items from founder Shawn McClain. You can choose from a two-, three- and four-course tasting, or do the chef’s tasting menu. First courses include kusshi oysters, accentuated by piquillo pepper and Tabasco sorbet. Meat lovers will definitely want to try the wagyu beef tartare as a second course, served with a crushed caper aioli, slow-poached egg and, crispy chocolate. Get ready for one of the best dishes on the Strip for your third course: Sage’s Maine day boat scallop. The texture is just perfect, and when you add braised oxtail, trumpet mushrooms and a salted caramel reduction, it seems it could not get any better. However, your fourth course options are stellar as well, including wagyu filet served with potato purée and black truffles and grilled skirt steak with sesame and a miso soubise. –Ken Miller

Life of Rhyme Head Over Boots Behold Nashville Meets Naughty, aka “X” Country. The countrified revue is a jam-packed, fast-moving series of sensual segments featuring a hot quintet of lithe, limber ladies performing to a soundtrack ranging from Hank Williams Jr. and Garth Brooks to Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift. Within 90 seconds, their tops are doffed—a frequent occurrence over the next 70 minutes of thrusts, gyrations, line-dancing, two-stepping and butt-slapping. One

One dancer luxuriates in an onstage shower to Patsy Cline’s “Crazy.” Another strips down from a wedding dress to The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two,” and three gals frolic with a bed sheet to Lady Antebellum’s “Just a Kiss.” All of which amounts to just a fraction of the “X” Country action. –Steve Bornfeld
Perhaps you can read between the lines—but can you hear between them? That’s the challenge posed by the star of Clint Holmes: Between the Lines. “I started teaching master classes last year, and I found myself saying over and over to singers, ‘It has to be personal, you have to find what’s between the lines of what the writer wrote,’” says Holmes. Holmes takes crowds on a ride that stretches from The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There” to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling.” He even revisits his own radio hit, “Playground in My Mind.” –SB The Palazzo, 7 p.m. Sun.-Mon., starting at $42.65 plus tax and fee. 702.414.9000 Sage photo by Big French “X” Country photo by Maryanne Bilham

So Sweet and Satisfying As a reminder of home-cooked meals, comfort food serves as familiar offerings while traveling. If you’re looking for something casual and accessible, then Serendipity 3 is the place for you. So where to start on the behemoth menu? I suggest with a trademark drink, the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, pictured. In case you haven’t had the pleasure, it’s essentially hot chocolate served frozen in a daiquiri-like consistency and, yes, it’s alcoholic. And, yes, it’s as good as it looks and sounds. While you can easily find yourself overwhelmed with the appetizers and
entrées, such as the All-In Nachos or the foot-long hot dogs, do be sure to save room for a dessert or two. Willy Wonka would be proud of the spectacles here! Serendipity 3’s deep-fried Oreos and ice cream is exactly what it sounds like—battered, deep-fried Oreos perched atop scoops of cookies-and-cream ice cream and smothered in hot fudge and marshmallow sauce. The restaurant is so proud of this dessert, they’ve dedicated a deep fryer to the Oreos alone. No matter what you decide upon, you’re guaranteed to leave Serendipity 3 full and happy. –Jim Begley
More than 300 birds reside on the 15-acre Wildlife Habitat (Flamingo, 702.733.3349). The sacred ibis, regarded as such for eating locusts in ancient Egypt, wins the unofficial award for longest bill, while the flamingos look a bit ruffled, perhaps secretly wishing for warmer climes.

When you came to Las Vegas, did you expect it to look a little bit like Burma? At Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, you might forget that you’re on the Strip when surrounded by the eeriness of moss and branches reclaiming ancient stone ruins or a shipwreck, now occupied by sharks and rays, resting beneath the surface. With 14 exhibits, Shark Reef provides an immersive experience for viewing and learning about more than 2,000 individual animals. A glass tunnel passing through a 144,000-gallon saltwater exhibit puts you close to butterflyfish, angelfish and sharks. The aquarium’s most immersive level houses the Shark Reef’s 1.3 milliongallon main attraction. You’ll find yourself within a shipwreck, with sharks, sea turtles, sawfish and other species. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Mandalay Bay, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Sun.Thurs., 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Fri.-Sat., last entry one hour prior to close, $20, $14 ages 4-12. 702.632.4555
Topgolf Las Vegas (4627 Koval Lane, 702.933.8458) combines nightlife and daylife.

Dreaming Again
It’s Complicated Families are complex, and there are unexpected twists that contribute to whom we become. That is the message of the Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home. It’s the real-life saga of American cartoonist Alison Bechdel and her journey on the road to her coming out as a lesbian. Susan Moniz, who portrays Helen, Alison’s mother, explained the complexities of the characters in an interview with Las Vegas Magazine: “Alison tries to understand the relationship with her dad and what made her who she is today. She had
a good relationship with her mother, who was married to a gay man and had to deal with that,” said Moniz. According to Moniz, the melancholy “Days and Days,” the last song she sings in the show, defines Helen’s life in the 1970s when she was trying to hold her family together. “In the blink of an eye, 20 years has passed her by,” Moniz explains. She said Fun Home can be summed up by an audience member who commented after the show: “That was just like my family—but different.” –Penny Levin
Double Take The detail at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas will have you blinking to make sure you’re not seeing the real thing. Your friends will have the same reaction when they see you posing in photos with Will Smith, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the Hollywood-themed room. If that’s not enough, check the sports room for Muhammad Ali and Shaquille O’Neal. Or sing along with Beyoncé and Selena Gomez. If you’re old school, you’ll love the The Rat Pack and Elvis Presley.

While away an hour or so, while a dapper young man plays with your sense of reality. In Xavier Mortimer’s Magical Dream (Planet Hollywood Resort, 702.777.2782), Mortimer tries to win his assistant’s affections—spinning himself vertically in the air, enticing shadow puppets to interact with the real world, dancing, singing, juggling. But his mirror image interferes and traps Mortimer, despite those skills. Mortimer escapes, of course. Did he get the girl? Stay tuned. –Nina King
Layers of Flavor The eclectic menu at Stack (The Mirage, 702.792.7800) makes the restaurant a perfect stop anytime you’re craving a little tapas-style action. Start with crispy rock shrimp, a salty and sweet meaty treat served with a ponzu and sweet chili dipping sauces. Beefy offerings include the 14-ounce Brooklyn filet, a cut that wows you from the get-go. Sweets deliver a childlike joyous feel, like the cute munchkin doughnuts served with a vanilla anglaise. –NK

Catch the Wave
Las Vegas may not be the likeliest home for reggae music, given its lack of oceanfront real estate, but the city has embraced the laid-back vibe of reggae for years, whether via the annual Reggae in the Desert festival or the multiple anniversary shows featuring popular reggae-rockers 311. So fellow reggae-rock band The Expendables (no relation to the Sylvester Stallone action-movie franchise) should be right at home when they head to town for a show at Brooklyn Bowl. The Bay Area band’s blend of reggae, rock, punk and ska recalls popular Vegas regulars like Sublime, Kottonmouth Kings and Slightly Stoopid (who’ve released The Expendables’ most recent albums on their label Stoopid Records), but The Expendables also have a style all their own, including their signature dueling guitar solos. They’ve been building a fan base independently since releasing their first album in 2001, helped along by a strong bond with surfing culture, thanks to their beachside home base of Santa Cruz, California. They’ve contributed to benefits for surf teams, and served as the soundtrack for plenty of beachcombers catching waves. If there’s a chill activity to be enjoyed under the California sun, The Expendables can provide the tunes for it. –Josh Bell

Forever Classic John Waite may be remembered primarily for one song, but that song has had a remarkable shelf life. Waite’s ballad “Missing You” topped the Billboard singles chart when it was released in 1984, and since then it’s consistently popped up in movies, video games and TV shows. It’s also been a hit multiple times over: In 1996, a version by Tina Turner charted in both the U.S. and the U.K. In 1999, country duo Brooks & Dunn’s version was a top 20 hit on the country charts. And Waite himself had a hit with the song for a second time when he re-recorded a duet version of it with Alison Krauss in 2007. Of course, Waite is more than that one song. He spent time as the frontman for the rock bands The Babys (with hits “Isn’t It Time” and “Every Time I Think of You”) and Bad English (with No. 1 single “When I See You Smile”). Like his biggest hit, Waite is an enduring classic who has the ability to consistently reach new audiences. –JB

Master Interpreter
Superstar headliners aside, successful singers in Las Vegas need to be vocal chameleons, able to bring to life the songs of a variety of legends and current chart-toppers, and Trina Johnson Finn is among the city’s best at the art of interpretation. Johnson Finn has worked as an impersonator (creating tributes to singers like Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston), and she’s performed in shows on the Strip, including Legends in Concert and Vegas! The Show. She’s also taken the stage with the actual legends, providing vocals for acts ranging from MC Hammer to Barbra Streisand. Now Johnson Finn is getting a showcase of her own, paying tribute to all of the iconic female singers who’ve influenced her over the years. Johnson Finn’s LipStick Diva show features her performing songs by Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin and more, putting her own jazzy spin on her musical inspirations. The master interpreter is ready for her solo spotlight. –JB
The World Is His
Name the list and it lists his name—as one of the best in the rap game. Praised for his lyrical technique—and, as one critic described it, aurally painting a “potent evocation of life on the street”—veteran hip-hop artist Nas has been piling up accolades since his 1994 debut album, IIImatic, landed like an industry explosion. With singles including “The World Is Yours,” “It Ain’t Hard to Tell” and “One Love,” the album has taken its place as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time—and launched a career that has since yielded eight consecutive platinum and multi-platinum albums, selling more than 25 million records worldwide. That’s one hell of a rap rep. –Steve Bornfeld

Intimate party spot continues successful run Just as precious as a gem, maybe, is a nightclub, which is probably why Hakkasan Group’s newest nightclub at Aria is named Jewel. The moment you step foot inside the intimate venue (as it roughly holds 2,000 patrons), you’ll be immersed into a luxe nightlife experience. The 24,000-square-foot, two-level space, designed by the Rockwell Group (which also designed Hakkasan Group’s mega club Omnia at Caesars Palace), features two distinct areas, the main club and the mezzanine level, fit for two different types of partygoers. On the main level, heading to the dance floor, you first have to pass through multiple tall, mirrored doors leading to the sleek nightclub, highlighted by the DJ booth and VIP booths with

burgundy leather upholstery. If you’re occupying one of the 50 VIP booths, you’ll be escorted through a tunnel of bronze arches, where an antique glass chandelier summons you through the alluring corridor. Jewel’s technology scheme is one of a kind, too, with massive, dual-sided LED video screens and state-of-the-art effects that light up the venue. The mezzanine level houses five VIP skybox suites: The Blind Tiger, The Studio, The G.O.A.T., The Gallery and The Prestige. Each of the skybox suites has its own entrance, its own décor and its own vibe (one gives off a sexy speakeasy feel while another is as top-notch as it gets, with champagne-hued, tufted walls and a brassbeaded chandelier). And the vantage point from
each skybox suite offers a great view of the main club down below. The mezzanine level also features a bar and separate dance floor, if you want to break away from the main club. Basically, there’s something for everyone at Jewel. Besides the nightclub’s aesthetics, Jewel sure knows how to pack a house with its stellar talent and DJ roster. Since opening, the venue has welcomed celebs such as Drake, Jamie Foxx, The Chainsmokers, Lil Jon, Steve Aoki, Swizz Beatz and Steve Angello.

Burrata salad
One of the best things about Las Vegas is that it can transport you to anywhere around the world. One day, you can be on top of the Eiffel Tower, the next, you could be walking the streets of New York. Sure, it takes a little imagination, but all great things in Vegas do. In that sense, Mercato della Pescheria offers to take patrons to a very specific place: a coastal Italian fish market. Fittingly, the restaurant is located in The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo. After a scenic walk through the canal village, you end up in St. Mark’s Square, one of the liveliest areas in the large mall. This is important, because there are numerous seating options at Mercato. Multiple open kitchen stations plus an ample bar are tempting, but the move here is to sit outside on the patio, giving your party the chance to enjoy live music from well-dressed singers who perform in The Square. Perhaps the perfect drink to accompany the meal is a Negroni Sbagliato. Literally meaning “messed-up Negroni,” it is smooth all the way through, with its mix of Campari, Cinzano 1757 vermouth and Stellina di Notte prosecco. As it is a “fish market,” a good place to start is with the yellowtail tuna tartare. Day boat yellowfin gets the citrus treatment with both a vinaigrette and a variety of fresh fruits including blood oranges, lime and lemon. Avocado adds necessary fat and bottarga (fish roe) adds the saltiness. And anytime I see a burrata salad, I’m likely to order it. Mercato’s features housemade cheese, cherry tomatoes, aged balsamic and roasted peppers. Pastas are all made in-house, and I doubt there is one that isn’t great in the bunch. (The version with king crab is a particular standout.)

Swiss chard ravioli is stellar and the pesto cream sauce it is topped with is vibrant and pops with basil, toasted pine nuts and gran padano cheese. It might be one of the best pasta courses in all of Las Vegas. A mixed grill was a special I couldn’t pass up, as it featured a flat iron steak, a half a lobster tail, four jumbo prawns, roasted purple potatoes and grilled asparagus. With the singers entertaining onstage, and a platter with many delicacies on the table, it almost felt as if I was dining royalty. You’ll find a variety of other steaks and seafood, such as the salmon with Italian greens and lemon oil, veal saltimbocca, and garlic chicken. Roasted cauliflower, cooked with anchovies, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and saffron is a bite you’ll keep going back for. The tiramisu here is among the best I’ve ever tried. This iteration is prepared tableside with
Swiss chard ravioli
the drenched ladyfingers commingling with coffee and fresh chocolate shavings. The standout element is the layer of elegant mascarpone cream. While there are many worldly destinations throughout Las Vegas, I’d be happy to revisit this Italian fish market any time.

Creating a filling experience time after time The date: Nov. 24, 2016. The place: Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace. The goal: to serve 4,000 people in one day. The feeling: “I got teary-eyed,” said assistant general manager Stephanie Souza. “Holy smokes, we did it!” Souza and the Bacchanal Buffet staff hit their goal this past Thanksgiving Day. Now she looks forward to hitting 4,001! As the AGM, it’s Souza’s job to make sure the buffet runs smooth—on Thanksgiving, holidays and every day—and continues its reign as one of the most popular buffets in the city. But, she said, “I’m not just a manager that stands around the room watching over everyone, no. I dive in, I cashier, I hostess, serve drinks, bus tables.” And, it’s not hard for her to master those tasks, as Souza has worked in practically every position within the food and beverage industry

throughout her career, starting out at Pizza Hut in her home state of Hawaii. Souza left the Big Island when she turned 19 “for better opportunities,” she said. She’s worked in cities including Portland, Ore., and New Orleans. In 2009, she moved to Las Vegas and joined Flamingo. She quickly moved up the ladder, taking the assistant manager position at the buffet. In 2012, she helped open Bacchanal. “It was exciting to watch it being built all the way through to opening,” she said. “I’m really proud of the reputation that we have. People come from all over the world. It’s amazing.” It’s not hard to see the pride that Souza has for her job, her staff and Bacchanal Buffet. “I’m so blessed. Being a little country girl from the Big Island and being in the position that I’m at now, it’s just incredible.” –Kiko Miyasato
Continue the holiday spirit and order one of Bacchanal Buffet’s seasonal specialty cocktails, like the Absolut Elyx Christmas Yule Mule. Start off with just a glass, or dive right in and order the pitcher—either way will make you merry and bright. It’s a sweet and tasty blend of vodka, cranberry juice and ginger beer, garnished with rosemary sprig, orange slices and sugared cranberries. –KM

You’ve got a show Wednesday, Criss. Raincheck?

Yeah, those angry monkeys are a daily annoyance. “For me, it’s not about the money, it’s not about the fame. I love creating.” ... Fine, send me the first two. I’ll pay shipping fees. “Sometimes my art is just an illusion. Or is it?” ... No, it isn’t. Except it is. And just like that, logic is restored to its illogical logic. “I like to say magic is the world’s second oldest profession.” ... Done correctly, there’s something magical about the first oldest one, as well. “At the end of the day, I don’t care what people say.” ... We think you’re the bee’s knees. So we’re guessing there are exceptions to that, huh, buddy?

Kicking off 2017, Las Vegas Magazine turned to the city’s entertainers and asked them to share their New Year’s resolutions. “I’ve lost weight. I’ve gotten healthy. Our Vegas show is doing well. My podcast is doing well. Our TV show is doing well. So, I guess I’ll devote 2017 to achieving world peace, universal health and happiness and get that done.” –Penn Jillette, Penn & Teller at Rio
Clint Holmes
“2017’s resolution is I’m going to stop making useless resolutions that I don’t keep like stop eating badly, exercise more, etc. This is the year I’m going to live life to the fullest and do whatever the hell I want.” –Frank Marino, Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq Hotel “I, Mac King, resolve to spend more time outdoors. To that end, I decided to ride my bike with my wife Jen and become a farmer. To that end, I asked Santa for a new bike, an ant farm and a tractor.” –Mac King, The Mac King Comedy Magic Show at Harrah’s

“To listen better. To listen with the intent of actually trying to understand someone else’s point of view. I think basic conversation is becoming a lost art and yet it’s one of our best and most frequently found opportunities to grow closer to each other. To converse,
we have to listen as well as talk. I’ve always had the talking part down, so in 2017 I’m going to try and be a bit quieter. I’m also going to listen to more music, especially music that’s current. I never like hearing the phrase ‘They don’t write ’em like they used to!’ Of course, they don’t! They’re not supposed to. Every generation has something new to say and often it’s told through music. I know I’m not going to like every new artist or every new song, but that’s all right. My mother didn’t like Elvis Presley, so I will keep listening and being reinspired.” –Clint Holmes, Clint Holmes: Between the Lines at The Palazzo “My New Year’s Resolution is to stop and thank every person in uniform, whether it be military, police or firefighter, and thank them for their service and sacrifices.” –Wayne Newton, Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal at Bally’s

in a while. Also I want to quit smoking. I know I should and we all know it’s hard, but I have an 8-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter and I’m blessed to have them and I love them so much, so I want to be around as long as I can for them. –Vinnie Favorito, Vinnie Favorito Unfiltered at Westgate Las Vegas
Lorena Peril
“My New Year’s resolution is to be more kind, thoughtful and useful to my community. And, also try to become the next comedy genius within the new year.” –Sean E. Cooper, Fantasy at Luxor “To give away even more roses in 2017 to the greatest fans we could have.” –Nathan Morris, Boyz II Men at The Mirage “My New Year’s resolution for 2017 is to seriously go on a diet. This is a very tough city to diet in but I’m as fat as I’ve ever been and I look like a bag of onions naked and I would like to get to know other parts of my body that I haven’t seen

“My New Year’s resolution is to take a vacation. It’s difficult to take time off when you love your job but ‘me time’ is important!” –Mat Franco, Magic Reinvented Nightly at The Linq Hotel “It can’t get much better than landing your own headlining show on the Strip, but the Tenors of Rock are looking forward to sharing an all-new concert experience as we kick off our residency at Harrah’s this month. What better New Year’s resolution than to promise to rock Las Vegas. Get ready—we’re coming for you!” – Gareth Richards, Tenors of Rock at Harrah’s
and online and continue to challenge our own comfort zones on and off the stage.” –Ryan Stock and AmberLynn, Comedy Daredevil at Hooters “So 2016 has really pressed on my heart that so many of the things we concern ourselves with are beyond our control, but what we can control is how we respond to them. In 2017, I want to love more, be more faith-filled, enjoy all my blessings, write more songs, entertain more people, help some more people, be more prayerful and have more yogurt mix-ins! 2017 will be amazing!” –Andrew Tierney, Human Nature: Jukebox at The Venetian Jason Tenner
“My New Year’s resolutions will be to stop driving in the middle lane with my blinker on, and to start greeting complete strangers at the airport with hugs.” –Carrot Top at Luxor “We resolve to be more active on our social media, interact more with our fans in person

“My New Year’s resolution for 2017 is to remain vegan! I finally made the decision to kick animal products altogether for the health benefits. I’m pretty much a lifelong carnivore and consumer of milk, cheese and ice cream, but I’m excited to be plant-based. Happy New Year!” –Jason Tenner, Purple Reign: The Prince Tribute Show at Westgate Las Vegas “As the headliner of Fantasy, my schedule can be quite busy, including nightly performances at the Luxor, philanthropic events and red carpet appearances with our cast. I love my job, but it is very important to have balance between my professional and my personal life. My resolution is to spend more quality time with my family, especially during the holiday season!” –Lorena Peril, Fantasy at Luxor
to get so distracted with work, school or being a parent that we can forget to make a simple phone call to check up on our loved ones. Having both my grandparents pass just this past year, I think about the last Skype call I made to them Christmas Day. The conversation couldn’t have been more mundane or inconsequential. Unbeknownst to me this would be our last conversation together. So no matter what the content of our conversation was, I’m grateful every day for making that last call. That’s why this year I’m resolving to be more loving to those I care about and making sure they know it! Even if it is by making a boring phone call to ask what cereal they had for breakfast! –James Davis, Chippendales at Rio
Terry Fator
“I’m tired of the easy New Year’s resolutions like ‘I resolve to lose 10 pounds or I resolve to run a marathon in under three hours.’ Instead, I am pledging to do something that will take every fiber of my being to successfully achieve: I pledge in 2017 not to gloat to any fan of any other teams when my Dallas Cowboys win the Super Bowl. It will be hard but I will try. And more important, I resolve to bring laughter and healing through my show to those fans of other teams after the Cowboys win. Oh, and to lose 10 pounds.” –Terry Fator at The Mirage “My New Year’s resolutions are pretty simple: peace, love, health, wealth and happiness. Think deeply, speak gently, love much, laugh a lot, work hard, give freely. I truly believe everyone is fighting their own battle. Be kind always. I am always trying to learn more, to be a better person and find balance. I want to take time to smell the roses and spend more quality time with family, my four-legged kids and friends! Life is too short; live in the moment! –Jennifer Romas, Sexxy at Westgate Las Vegas “My New Year’s resolution is to make a conscious effort to spend more time with friends and family. Growing up in Maine, the hub of social activity revolved around close relatives, friends and neighbors gathering at each other’s houses for beers by the bonfire. With no bars or clubs open past 6 p.m., we were, for better or worse, forced to be together throughout the cold winter months. It’s easy in this day and age

Feel the Rush The best places to get your adrenaline pumping
Growing up in the early 1970s, the word “technology” wasn’t exactly a top-of-mind concept. Sure, my family had a microwave oven and a phone cord that stretched all the way across the room—being able to talk while sitting on the couch? Amazing!—but there seemed to be no huge rush to advance things to the next level. Bear in mind we were still playing 8-track cassettes at this moment in time, the Atari 2600 had yet to arrive and the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey seemed hundreds of years away. If the 1970s me could have time traveled to witness the unveiling of a phone you can have a conversation with, that would have been like a caveman witnessing ... a phone you could have a conversation with. I’ll probably have similar reactions to the latest technological game changers unveiled at this month’s massive Consumer Electronics Show. No doubt you’ll spend a great deal of time at CES visiting various booths, listening to guest speakers and networking and establishing friendships. But once in a while you’ll be taking a break and checking out what Las Vegas has to offer. And that’s where Las Vegas Magazine’s Quick Guide comes into play. On the following pages, you will find everything you need to get the most out of your stay at host property The Venetian and The Palazzo—after all, your time here is limited. Let our staff ’s decades of experience here give you that insider’s edge.

2
Where’s the best place to get sundries if you left something at home? Concierge is happy to assist and can send what you need directly to your suite.

What are some helpful parking tips if you’re driving by car? For those driving, the easiest inand-out parking is at The Palazzo, with an entrance from Sands Avenue/Spring Mountain. There are three complimentary valet options, including The Venetian, The Palazzo and The Grand Canal Shoppes.
4
When’s the best time to visit most restaurants in order to avoid a long wait? To score a table at our most popular restaurants, we suggest making reservations in advance. However, because The Venetian and The Palazzo feature dozens of awardwinning restaurants, diners can usually find a free table whenever a craving strikes.
5 6 7
Best places to grab a cup of coffee 24/7? You can always get a delicious cup at Grand Lux Café in The Venetian, or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf located at The Palazzo. What’s the easiest way to grab tickets for a show that night? While concierge can assist with tickets, your best bet is to visit any box office at The Venetian or The Palazzo, where tickets for all shows are available. What’s the best way to avoid the taxi lines? Guests can set up a limo through concierge, or try Lyft or Uber. We have convenient locations for pick up and drop-off at both The Venetian and The Palazzo’s main entrances.

Eight of our favorite ways to get your pulse pounding By Steve Bornfeld Your blood is about to pump. Your pulse is about to race. Your adrenaline is about to surge. You’re in Vegas, baby—and this is the place for adrenaline-surging fun. Here’s some options to give your system a jolt.
Dream Racing
El Loco Adventuredome, 702.794.3906
Adrenaline ATV Tours
Thrill rides don’t get much crazier than this aptly named steel roller coaster that’s a twist-tastic, belly-dropping whirlwind. Catapulting riders 90 feet in the air before rocketing them over and under at up to 45 mph into a 1.5 vertical-G plunge, it’s a head-spinning experience. Four-person, open-design cars—each seat outfitted with speakers to enjoy a customized soundtrack—approximate the feel (minus the fear) of flying.
VooDoo Zipline Rio, 702.388.0477
Taking off from atop the hotel’s 50-story Masquerade Tower and extending across to its Ipanema Tower, this 70-second experience has riders soaring 400 feet into the open air and across more than 800 feet at up to 33 mph, providing not only a rush of excitement, but also 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Valley.
SkyJump Stratosphere, 702.380.7777
Freefalling from the tower’s 108th floor? If just thinking about that doesn’t spike your pulse rate, you might want to check to be sure you have one. An open-air leap
66 1.1.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
SkyJump Exotics Racing
Richard Petty Driving Experience VooDoo ZipLine
in a harness from 829 feet above the Strip, Skyjump is a bungee-style controlled drop with the rider in a jumpsuit connected to a “descender” machine that eventually slows for a perfect landing. Some hours later, your pulse will slow as well. Probably.
Dream Racing 702.605.3000
Got an itchy pedal foot you’re craving to drop to the metal? Drop it at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where you can slide behind the wheel of “supercars”—Lamborghinis, Porsches, Ferraris—and take a few spins around the track. Get outfitted in a racing suit and helmet, learn the curves in a simulator and take some super-speedy laps. Here’s your chance to get properly adrenalized.
Exotics Racing 702.405.7223
Hey, as long as you’re idling at the Speedway, choose from a literal superstore of cool cars that also includes a Bond-style Aston Martin, Corvette Z06 and Nissan GT-R. Get coaching from French racing champ Romain Thievin and NASCAR Euro champ David Perisset. Then take an exhilarating ride around the track with seven turns, a highspeed banked bowl and 1,800-feet straightaway. Phew!
Richard Petty Driving Experience 800.237.3889
Pole Position Raceway El Loco
Don’t leave yet! This time around, settle into the driver’s seat of a genuine NASCAR driving demon that will get you as close to the feel of the real action as you’ll ever get.

Limitless Love
Rising up 460 feet from the Las Vegas Strip below, the steel fortress at Paris provides one of the most spectacular views of Las Vegas around. For romance and total ambience, it’s tough to beat the Eiffel Tower Experience (Paris, 702.946.7000). The tower, re-created at half the size of the original, cost a whopping $28.5 million to build.
However, the Experience is worth every penny. Featuring 4-inch-wide square peepholes to provide uninterrupted sight lines, the observation deck allows an unparalleled view of all the city has to offer. You can peer below at the tourists crossing the street, or gaze toward the south end of the Strip. And, if you time it just right, you might be able to catch one of the
famous Bellagio fountain shows. For an added touch of romance, twilight is the perfect time to enjoy the Experience. Back on the ground, the once-miniaturized sights regain their monumentality. But for those few minutes, it’s almost as if you and your sweetheart are on top of the world. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff
