Teller
Illusionist opens up on his magical inspirations Known primarily as the silent partner in magic’s most unorthodox act, Raymond Joseph Teller doesn’t have to be as concerned about maintaining his mute persona—apart from onstage and on Penn & Teller’s television show Fool Us—as he used to. He spoke with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen about the direction he and Penn Jillette’s long-running show at the Rio has taken lately, and new elements that rekindle the joy of discovering magic for both Penn & Teller and their ever-growing audience. Your new bit, “Dracula,” is adapted from the Penn & Teller Fool Everyone Magic Kit. Did you start out with a magic kit as a kid? Everyone has been through the experience of encountering something that changed the course of their lives in adolescence. For one person, it might be a book. For me, it happened earlier. It happened when I was 5. I was sick and I had to be at home recuperating for a long time, drinking tea and toast, and watching the primitive TV we had in those days. On it came a television kids’ show called Howdy Doody, and I ordered the magic set from the show. My life has been a consequence of that ever since. You’re also tapping into that innocence of discovering magic with “Pygmy Elephant” and the “Love Ritual” card trick. Those two things are about everybody participating, and about the silliness of the gigantic shared joke. We close the show with “(King of the) Animal Traps,” and how you encounter that thing when you’re a kid that changed your life. For almost a decade, we did a television show called Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t!, which was a skeptical show, and I loved it and people loved it. But that show was
22 1.15.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
also very rough in its language. It had a lot of nudity and sex and stuff, and so our audiences tended to lean toward the pure adult. Now that we’re doing the show Fool Us on the CW network, that’s a very family-friendly show, and suddenly our audiences reflect that, with more kids coming. Somehow or other this show may have a touch of not only that audience, but the fact that Penn now has two young children … I don’t think we would have done, for example, ... “Dracula” with the children’s magic set if Penn’s kids had not been tremendously interested in vampires and zombies. Do you think the show or your approach to magic would have been different if you had not been a teacher? Everything influences, doesn’t it? Yeah, I taught Latin for six years. That did something to me. I learned certain kinds of skills from that. I did my own series of Latin textbooks, which I drew the pictures for myself. When Penn & Teller started to work together, I was initially our graphic designer, using only the things that I had learned from my father who was in commercial art, and the stuff that I had learned while I was a Latin teacher. It’s hard to separate out any of those things.
How do you manage to tape Fool Us while performing shows at the Rio? We tape those by shutting down the Penn & Teller show for about nine days and they bring in this television set, which has been adapted to our set and our stage. The two sets are quite different
in look, but they actually interlock nicely so we can do bits … we like to have a bit polished in the live theater before we do it on television if possible. Sometimes it works better the other way, but it’s best if we settle into it calm and happy and delivering something we know how to do.

One question
Frank Marino What moment from your childhood had the greatest impact on the adult you’ve become, from a personal perspective? I think the most pivotal moment from my childhood happened to me was when my adopted parents died when I was 6 and 9 years old—my mother first with breast cancer and my father later on with lung cancer. Being adopted as well as an only child, I was given everything I asked for. My parents spoiled me and bought me anything and everything a child could want, but when they passed, I went to live with my godparents, which put me in a family as the youngest of five children, where I immediately had to learn the word “share.” That, on top of the fact I saw family members cleaning out my home of all possessions, psychologically had an effect on me where I have a fear of losing things, and hold on to things I own that have great sentimental value. My friends tell me I’m an organized hoarder, but I tell them, “Darling, when you’re rich and famous, the correct word is ‘eccentric.’” LOL. I’m sure any woman reading this would agree and tell you, you can never have too many pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes. Frank Marino hosts Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq at 9:30 p.m. daily. Call 702.777.2783 for tickets.

Use Your Illusion Famously, in 1983, he appeared to make the Statue of Liberty vanish. Is that any way for a gentleman to treat a Lady (Liberty)? Nifty, though, right? Nothing so immense unfolds at David Copperfield’s Las Vegas show, but expect an evening of invention and imagination nonetheless. Constantly updating his bag—well, more like a Mack Truck—of tricks, Copperfield brings his show in line with the social media age, performing illusions involving email and Twitter. Audience participation figures prominently for those willing to become part of the magic. License plates, a duck and an animatronic alien all enter into the entertainment. Things materialize and dematerialize. Predictions leave the crowd stumped. And Copperfield tells the tale of his journey to fame, reaching back to being 6 years old at a friend’s birthday party. After this compelling night of magic and storytelling, once you’re back on the Strip, have no fear—that junior Lady Liberty across the street will still be there … we think. –Steve Bornfeld

Not only were the ’70s soft rock and disco—it was also a prime time for funk, a genre that fuses soul, a little bit of jazz and R&B. Acts like Parliament-Funkadelic and Sly and the Family Stone already found success in this musical direction and paved the way for groups such as Cameo, founded by Larry Blackmon. That funk sound is far from gone. Who doesn’t still love: “Come on, baby, tell me what’s the word / Word up (Up, up), everybody say / When you hear the call you’ve got to get it underway.” –Chanelle Hayes Westgate Las Vegas, 7 p.m. Thurs.-Sun., $69-$99 plus tax and fee, $129 meet and greet. 800.222.5361

Amped-Up Comfort Food Modesty is not in Guy Fieri’s job description. The restaurateur and host of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives always goes big, whether it’s his hair or his cooking. Same goes for Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar, the first local restaurant from the UNLV alum. Foodie fans may be surprised to find that it feels more like an intimate, amped-up version of a bar and grill than a big Vegas restaurant—you won’t find white tablecloths or molecular gastronomy here. Instead, it’s all about comfort food in big portions. Take, for instance, the Guy-talian fondue dippers, pepperoni-wrapped bread sticks served with a smoky provolone and sausage dip. The sashimi won-tacos are simple and satisfying, while the bacon mac-n-cheese burger and the Tatted-Up turkey burger are as over-the-top as it gets. Or maybe you’d care for the “crisp, garlicky mega-crouton” upon which the Johnny Garlic’s Caesar salad is placed. It all culminates
with Guy’s Cheesecake Challenge, a giant slice of the dessert covered in potato chips, pretzels and hot fudge. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Over 75 minutes Fantasy spotlights its topless, tantalizing dancers in an array of numbers, including the snappy opening set to Little Mix’s “Salute,” a seductive fan dance, a sensual and gymnastic shimmy up and down a red silk, floor-to-ceiling ribbon, and other sexy segments synced to an eclectic soundtrack. Several scenes follow, as we see the ladies dress in everything from lingerie and cowboy
boots to leather, lace and G-strings. Seductive vignettes include scenes on a bed, on top of a piano and on the stripper pole. We see the girls go country, old Hollywood and even rock ’n’ roll. Comedian Sean E. Cooper provides hilarious impersonations and interacts with audience members at the show’s mid-point, and the production closes with sweet satisfaction, as the Fantasy ladies prowl back onstage for one final thrill. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Luxor, 10:30 p.m. daily, $39-$59 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.262.4400

The whole concoction is topped with a float of Islay. As the name implies, this should be a cure-all for whatever ails you.

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 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 Throwback Thursdays. That earmarked evening
books musical guests from the ’80s, ’90s and early ’00s. This week, Jan. 19, welcomes the Luniz of “I Got 5 On It” fame. –Kiko Miyasato

One Man’s Dream The Supremes wouldn’t be harmonizing “Baby love, my baby love”; the Temptations wouldn’t be crooning “I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day”; and the Jackson 5 wouldn’t be singing “ABC, easy as one, two, three,” if it weren’t for Berry Gordy Jr., founder of the record label Motown. Music mogul Gordy had a knack for finding talent; he signed those groups and other acts such as Marvin Gaye, the Four Tops, Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Commodores, Martha and the Vandellas and Stevie Wonder. The life and legacy of these artists live on in Motown: The Musical.
Based on Gordy’s 1994 autobiography To Be Loved: The Music, the Magic, the Memories of Motown, the jukebox musical has received rave reviews since it premiered on Broadway in 2013. Taking audiences back to the days when Motown was in its prime, Motown: The Musical features more than 40 classic hits, including “What’s Going On,” “Dancing in the Street,” “Baby I Need Your Loving,” “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” “I’ll Be There” and “I Want You Back.” –Chanelle Hayes
Quite a Thrill Adrenaline ATV Tours takes riders through the Logandale trail system at the Valley of Fire north of Las Vegas, and it certainly is a beautiful show. The company offers two types of tours, on traditional ATVs where you are seated as on a motorcycle, and in the Polaris Ace or RZR vehicles, which are more like cars to drive. The Polaris Aces give you the rush of speeding over a variety of terrain combined with a tremendous amount of stability. Veteran ATVers are sure to appreciate the Mario Cart-style experience, too, which brings all the elements up just as close as on a traditional ride. –Nina King 4780 W. Ann Road. 702.289.5427

Dream Theater While away an hour or so while a dapper man plays with your sense of reality.

Winning! Director of specialty games bets on success It was special father-son time that set Frank Kunovic on his career path. “As a kid my dad would take me up to Hawthorne or Balmoral, and bet on the ponies,” said the South Side, Chicago native. “As soon as I was of legal age, I knew it was exactly what I wanted to do.” More specifically, Kunovic sought a career in gaming—today, he’s the director of specialty games for Caesars Palace, Rio and Harrah’s, overseeing each property’s race and sports books and poker rooms. As soon as Kunovic turned 18, his first job was taking bets at an off-track betting venue in Crestwood, Ill. When he turned 21, he set his sights on Las Vegas. In 2003, he landed his first job at Harrah’s sports book as a ticket

That job put Kunovic on the management path and he hasn’t looked back, helping to set up and run the sports books and poker rooms for Caesars Entertainment including properties like Bally’s, Paris, Planet Hollywood and, for the past two years, Caesars Palace. “I’m probably the only 37-year-old in Las Vegas that has been in the industry as long as I have,” Kunovic said, smiling. “It’s a challenging job but a very rewarding job. To be a part of the sports book industry. … Every day I come in, I have a huge smile on my face. I can’t believe I get paid to do this.” –Kiko Miyasato
With the NFL playoffs in full swing, Kunovic said, “The Caesars sports book is the premier place to be to watch sports.” Not only can guests enjoy a VIP lounge area, 120 lounge seats and the 148-foot long, 12-foot-high HDTV playing every game imaginable, but they can indulge at the massive bar and enjoy drink specials throughout the playoffs. A fan favorite is the Hail Mary, with Belvedere Citrus vodka, housemade Bloody Mary mix, Tabasco, Worcestershire and pepper, and finished off with a salted rim and blue cheese olives. The menu is packed with deals like $24 buckets of beer, $14 Moet & Chandon Brut mimosas, $8 Crown Royal Regal Apple shots and $25 buckets of Red Bull. –KM

Party Utopia
Nightclub and lounge all in one makes for idyllic space Hyde Bellagio operates under the enchantment that it’s a lost Italian villa, a hidden apartment within the walls of the resort. And once the lock is unlatched and you step inside, it’s a swanky world of elegance and intimacy. The main attraction exists in the view Hyde offers—the club’s outdoor space overlooks the world-famous Fountains of Bellagio. It’s about as close to the water wonder as you can get with a cocktail in hand. The interior design of the hot spot mirrors that of a hip, contemporary living space, with old-world touches. Soft browns and blacks, muted whites and creams match seamlessly with dark-wood flooring, billowy sheer curtains and stunning chandeliers. More personal touches like books, artwork and framed

photographs give the effect that prior residents left the space untouched before moving out. The DJ booth sits elevated behind a stunning black-and-white mock fireplace. Besides the indoor bar, which stretches along the back wall, another smaller bar sits on the patio. The patio, which is decorated with accents of black, silver, white and touches of greenery, is reminiscent of a Tuscan garden, a perfect retreat under the nighttime sky. Hyde completes the opulent experience by inviting guests to partake in the Sunset Lounge—a more laid-back experience with cocktails and small bites from 5-10 p.m. In addition to an inventive mixology program that offers an assortment of delicious sips, one can order food from
neighboring culinary hot spot Lago by Julian Serrano. The menu includes standouts like duck and Kobe sliders, vegetable spring rolls, roasted green olives and pecorino cheese foccacia, crab Rangoon and beef satay. When 10:30 p.m. rolls around, the club atmosphere takes over, and it’s an upscale party with DJs spinning mashups, top 40, EDM and more. This week, guests can mingle with Vegas industry elite at Industry Tuesdays, while Infamous Wednesdays welcomes the beautiful people. And on Friday, DJ Konflikt mans the decks late into the evening. DJ Karma closes out the weekend on Saturday. –Kiko Miyasato Lounge 5-10 p.m. daily, nightclub 10:30 p.m.5 a.m. Tues.-Wed. & Fri.-Sat. 702.693.8700

Virgil’s Real Barbecue re-creates the perfect blend of Southern flavor and hospitality
Memphis ribs with mac and cheese, collard greens and cornbread
nosh cheers
It’s easy to love barbecue. It’s unpretentious, it brings communities together, and there’s just something romantic about tearing into a slab of messy ribs with your God-given utensils: Hands. But when you’ve stayed on the Strip for a couple of days, you might become jaded, thinking there’s no place to roll up your sleeves, let your hair down or relax without feeling like you’re in somebody’s way. Virgil’s Real Barbecue understands your dilemma, and its BBQ nachos

mission is to take you away from Vegas, as if you’re chowing down at any street-side joint along Interstate 10. Here, there are no labels. You’re not even considered a customer—you are a friend. The same goes for the barbecue; they don’t discriminate. They’ve got Memphis, Kansas City, the Carolinas and Texas. No matter which sacred school of barbecue you’re loyal to, it’s all there and it’s all good. Before your meal, order a frosty glass of Lone Star, also known as
the “national beer of Texas” for its ubiquitous presence in the region. It’s that light, easy-to-drink kind of lager you’d probably shotgun in the middle of a cow farm with your buds. But since you’re at Virgil’s, it’s a simple beer to sip on while taking in the restaurant’s friendly, familiar ambience. It almost seems an injustice to start with the chicken wings, but you should, for their sweet, smoky flavor will give your tastebuds that showstopper, drop-the-mic feeling. But you’ll soon realize that the huge wings are a tender, falloff-the-bone microcosm of what to expect during the rest of your meal. Other delicious starters are the barbecue nachos, a pileup of Texas brisket and Carolina pulled pork, smothered in a mild, tangy barbecue sauce, and topped with jalapenos and cheese. Finding an entrée proves a bigger challenge. The Memphisstyle pork ribs are marinated for up to 24 hours in a signature dry rub, smoked for up to six hours, then served the Memphis way: dry with barbecue sauce on the side. Or take on the mammoth Texas brisket, where the dry rub creates a crumbly top layer of bark, provid-
ing the perfect amount of texture to the otherwise tender brisket. Whichever dish you choose, order a creamy side of mac and cheese, mixed with Ruffles, saltine crackers and cereal for an extra crunch. It’s possible, however, that Virgil’s greatest achievement is the Kansas City fried chicken. It’s the perfect combination of crispy, crunchy and zesty on the outside, and juicy and succulent on the inside–a quality mainly accomplished by roadside chicken shacks and tiny gas stations. And before you feel like you’ve had too much of a good thing, make way for some Texas-sized desserts. Choose from a rich key lime pie, or banana pudding with Nilla wafers. Though, if someone suggests you order the peanut butter pie, a cool slab of sweet and creamy peanut butter on a graham cracker crust, take up the offer and finish your meal plump, overindulged and happy.

Making 50 Count Rick Astley, to quote you, “I just want to tell you how I’m feeling.” You’re awesome. Most celebrities would probably be pissed off if their biggest hit got a second life as a joke of sorts in Internet meme form. But not you, you delightful Brit pop rocker. No, you, Rick Astley, have supported rickrolling. Rickrolling is when you click on a link, a video begins playing and then, all of a sudden, there’s Astley, singing his epic 1987 chart-topper, “Never Gonna Give You Up.” But the song is so damn catchy that you rarely mind you’ve been tricked. The beauty of rickrolling is that it has taken on a real life form, such as when Foo Fighters drove past a group of Westboro Baptist Church members and rickrolled the air full of love. “Never Gonna Give You Up” has over 260,000,000 views on YouTube, for which you, Rick Astley, are said to have made a total of $12. The thing is, Rick Astley, you just go along with all of it. Enjoy this deserved career upswing.

Running Solo Joe Walsh is still best known as a guitarist and keyboardist for The Eagles, but he’s had a thriving solo career both before and after joining the iconic rock band. With The Eagles disbanded following last year’s death of singer-guitarist and founding member Glenn Frey, Walsh has put a renewed focus on his solo work, including a Vegas mini-residency at the House of Blues. While the Eagles regularly played arenas and stadiums, Walsh’s Vegas shows will be much more intimate. Walsh’s shows mix his solo hits, including rock classics like “Rocky Mountain Way,” “Life’s Been Good” and “All Night Long,” with notable Eagles songs, both tracks that originally featured Walsh on lead vocals (“In the City”) and others on which he steps up to the mic in place of his bandmates (hits like “Take It to the Limit” and “Life in the Fast Lane”). Walsh’s 2012 album Analog Man marked his first solo release in 20 years, and he’s called his current backing band “the best band I’ve played with in a long time.” He’s ready to break out again as a solo artist, and Vegas fans have the chance to witness it up close and personal. –Josh Bell

Let’s Get Together Although the Grateful Dead officially broke up after singer-guitarist Jerry Garcia died in 1995, the surviving members continued the band’s legacy in a variety of forms, reuniting in different configurations with collaborators old and new. Bassist Phil Lesh spent 30 years in the Grateful Dead and since then he’s worked with his former bandmates in side projects The Other Ones and The Dead. Lesh’s own group, Phil Lesh and Friends, features a rotating lineup of musicians including some of his fellow Grateful Dead alums, with dozens of different players sitting in with Lesh over the years. The lineup in Vegas will showcase vocalist Chris Robinson and keyboardist Adam MacDougall of the Black Crowes, along with their Chris Robinson Brotherhood bandmates Neal Casal and Tony Leone. The CRB members represent the next generation of the jam-band sound pioneered by Lesh and the Grateful Dead, just a few of the many, many musicians Lesh has influenced over his long career. –Josh Bell

A reviewer once described Chevelle’s music as “a kind of controlled chaos, a beautiful darkness, a gentle rampage of aural velocity.” That’s a lot of contradictions, a lot of things that don’t go together— but maybe that’s why the three-piece band’s nu metal sound works so well. The group formed in the garage of the brothers Loeffler—lead vocalist and guitarist Peter, drummer Sam and, at the time, bassist Joe. After Joe’s exit, the remaining members eventually recruited Sam’s brother-in-law, Dean Bernardini. Chevelle, originally signed as a Christian rock group, broke through to the mainstream with hard rock tracks like “The Red.” Eight albums in and more than 20 years later, the band, often compared to outfits like Tool and Helmet, are still going strong. –Jason Harris House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, 6 p.m. Jan. 22, $29.50 plus tax and fee, 18+. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Anatomy gets an exotic twist in Real Bodies at Bally’s
48 1.15.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
Bally’s 10 a.m.-close daily, last tour at 8 p.m., $24.95, $15 age 3-12. 702.777.2782
Most vacationers in Vegas don’t expect to see dead bodies, but that’s exactly what visitors get when they happen upon Real Bodies at Bally’s. In a winding series of walk-through exhibits, Real Bodies displays authentic preserved human forms and remains that have undergone modern-day mummification. Skeletal, respiratory and circulatory, digestive, nervous and muscular systems get their due in depth, with specimens in various states of dissection and activity. Organs and bones lay under glass, themes of hunger and healing are explored, and various states of development and disease are uncovered in a way that Gray’s Anatomy can’t quite convey. With numerous wall-mounted factoids providing educational digressions along the way (“The amount of carbon in the body weighs 44 pounds, which can be used to produce 9,000 pencils.”), the journey begins with a human coffin and some context. The method used to create the cast of Real Bodies is polymer preservation, or plastination, which was developed by anatomist Gunther von Hagens in the 1970s. By the ’90s it was possible to replace fats and fluids in an entire body with polymer resins, preventing decay and enabling the public exhibition of cadavers. It also made it possible to create unusual educational experiences. That education starts at Real Bodies with the skeletal system, where the purposes and placements of skull bones such as the sphenoid and maxilla are explained, and the number of bones in the wrist and foot are revealed. Dried respiratory, circulatory and digestive organs from larynx and lung to cardiac valves to liver and gallbladder are kept in clear cases, sometimes surrounding more colorful anatomical examples such as a life-like pink and gray bronchial tree that could be mistaken for underwater coral. The length of a small intestine, liberated from its human host, is revealed, as is the amount of skin covering an adult male. The skin show gets its own room, but the real stars are scattered throughout Real Bodies. More than 20 full-sized, polymer-preserved, formerly living human beings are posed in various activities—running, playing basketball, waving a conductor’s baton—and dissected so the inner workings revealed match the rooms’ themes. One body holds hands with what seems to be its own skeleton. Another is sliced in half along the median sagittal line, allowing an inside look from head to viscera. Healings and the beginning of life also get their due and several of the rooms have a spooky atmosphere, including a skull-and-bones wall display at the end of the walk-through where visitors with a penchant for the macabre can arrange to be married. For the most part, Real Bodies is an educational journey, albeit taught by bodies that found new life in various states of dissection. A tour of Real Bodies will leave visitors with a better understanding of how the body works, and in possession of impressive nuggets of anatomical trivia. Did you know, for example, the saliva you produce during your lifetime can fill two Olympic swimming pools?

T h e R e i m agi n i n g o f A u r e o l e l o o k s t o t h e f u t u r e For a quiet day in December, it was pretty busy at Aureole. The 15-year-old Charlie Palmer Group restaurant had been closed for nearly a month, undergoing a change not only in design but also in spirit. Construction was nearly done, the printer had just delivered
50 1.15.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
the new menus, the wine table had been set up, groups of wait staff learned about some new aspect of menu or presentation, and the kitchen readied. In a little over an hour, dinner would be served for the first time in the transformed restaurant. Showtime!
So, what does it take to institute such a change? Planning. Lots of planning. In fact, Charlie Palmer and his partners started nearly a year ago. “We started discussing where we would be and where we think we should be. I’m a big believer in
we can always do better. People are like, ‘It’s great the way it is. Why do we want to change it?’,” said Palmer. “We’re different than we were 15 years ago, constantly progressing to reinvent Aureole— not just the décor, but the restaurant itself—and really appeal to
what people are looking for now, add a little excitement, because I think that what was exciting 15 years ago is not necessarily the same today. We’re looking at introducing ourselves to a different generation of clientele, which is important.”
Over the next several months, Aureole’s change was mapped out, a date set for closure and reopening. Longtime Palmer collaborator Nancy Paolino was roped in for design, and everything was ordered and scheduled for delivery at the proper time. Even new ap-
pliances were ordered. In addition, a new executive chef was hired, one who was well acquainted with the old Aureole. Johnny Church is a name that might be familiar to food fans; he’s worked in several high-end restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip, and appeared in
a season of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. Church more or less started at Aureole in his early career, so this is a bit of full circle for him. Menu development and testing has occupied much of Church’s time during the last few months, and that’s resulted in a thoughtful menu that addresses many emerging trends with diners, from sharing plates to an awareness of food’s origins. What’s on the menu now? A “fritto misto” with a citrus spice, lion fish ceviche, a 48-ounce porterhouse and a raclette fondue, among others. The wine experience at Aureole has also changed, said Palmer. “Such a big part of the restaurant has always been the wine and the wine tower; even that is changing and progressing. Now the focus is going to be on offering multiple tastings of wine, as opposed to bottles.” But don’t worry—diners who loved the old Aureole will still be able to order a prix fixe dinner or a bottle of wine. Aureole’s transformation wasn’t without a few glitches, however— one wall sconce came in broken, so they had to FedEx another to be installed the day the restaurant reopened—but that preplanning phase resulted in relatively few problems. Aureole may change more in the future, but now, Palmer said, “We’ve got a great plan, we’ve got an interesting approach to everything from menu format to how people dine. This whole sharing thing is not going away, it’s going to remain. “You can never stop thinking how we can make something better or more current. The minute we stop doing that, we’re in trouble.”

Turn-ons, turn-offs and life ruminations from PIN UP star and ex-Playmate Claire Sinclair By STEVE BORNFELD Let’s pin down the pin-up (metaphorically speaking—get your mind out of the subterranean depths of sexual self-delusion.) Smart, sassy and sexy as sexy gets, the pin-up is Claire Sinclair, who as it turns out, stars in PIN UP. With slinky burlesque moves and a sunshine smile, the 25-year-old temptress toplines a throwbackstyle, song-and-dance potpourri, backed by an energetic cast. And, oh yes, she was Playboy’s 2011 Playmate of the Year, in its pre-no-nudity days. Cribbing the centerfold questionnaire, here’s a tour of the mind and heart—only the mind and heart—of the brunette bombshell: Performing “the tease”: “A lot of girls create a name, a character (a tip courtesy of the woman born Clairissa Irene Riccio). Act that personality. Bring all your favorite attributes. Our old director, his wife said, ‘When you’re onstage, I want you to feel like you’ve had two glasses of wine and you’re performing for your man before you go to bed.’ Find someone in the audience and think, for a second, ‘That’s my boyfriend.’ The key is to learn to relax.”

How a man can impress you on a date: “I don’t like a date-y atmosphere. It feels like a job interview. I’m not the wine-and-dine type of chick. Let it feel laid-back, easy-breezy, and the friendship arc can become a relationship.” Attribute you admire in a man: “Creativity.” Pickup lines: “If it was a guy who sparked my interest in any other way, any would work as long as they have the (paraphrase this as testicular fortitude). At the meet-and-greet after the show, I’ll get a person who’s like, ‘Can I get your number?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m seeing someone. But kudos on your (that fortitude again).’ I always give them props.” Celebrity crush: “Seth MacFarlane. There is nothing that man can’t do. I would be too intimidated to date him. He’s such an ultrahuman. He’s a cool cat.” Favorite TV show: Black Mirror (Netflix). It’s like a current Twilight Zone. And Breaking Bad. Aaron Paul, who played Jesse Pinkman, I love him. I named my cat Jesse Pinkman.” Favorite movie: Harold and Maude. “I hope I’m that old lady
(played by Ruth Gordon)—full of life, charismatic, showing the youth how to be. Everyone aspires to that before the age of 80. I hope to do that sooner.” Worst job: “Being an elf for Santa at the mall. The Santa, I don’t know if he was drunk or on painkillers, but he was always kind of out of it.” Favorite food: “Right now it’s Tacos El Gordo (1724 E. Charleston Blvd.), their spicy pork taco. It’s got this creamy green sauce. You can eat five of them and want more.” Food you hate: “Mustard. My dad put it on the tip of my bottle when I was weaning off it. He told me it was poo, so, subconsciously, it scarred me for life. Thanks, Dad.” If you could dine with anyone from history, who would you choose? “Teddy Roosevelt. They said he had a presence like no other. It would be fun to be in a presence that bold.” The future: “If the show were to go another 10 years, I’m down with it. I’ll be the old lady doing the burlesque.” Now we’ve pinned down a pinup. Yes … metaphorically speaking.

Tips How to maximize your enjoyment

Bar & Lounge Recommended cocktails; happy hours
Nightlife A complete list of venues and DJs
Take Aim The best places to practice shooting skills
From a young age, I was taught to treat firearms with the utmost responsibility. My sister and I both wanted to go hunting with our father, but to do that we both had to obtain hunting licenses, and to do that we had to go through a pretty intensive training course, complete with testing and lots of homework. It was not a given that we would pass—indeed, one girl flunked the final test and fled in tears. We emerged from that class understanding the importance of safety at all times when it came to firearms. That same sense of responsibility is pervasive at the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show, which will welcome thousands of like-minded enthusiasts to the Sands Expo and Convention Center this week. In addition to the latest innovations, the convention features countless symposiums for enhancing your safety and enjoyment. No doubt you’ll spend a great deal of time here 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 properties 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.

insider tips
1
Where do you go if you lose your phone charger? You are in luck! We will keep you connected with our charging blocks located at both The Venetian and The Palazzo concierge. In addition, many of the slot machines throughout The Venetian or The Palazzo feature charging ports.
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. If you prefer to do your own shopping, visit International News or Varieta at The Venetian or La Fortuna in The Palazzo. In addition, there is a full Walgreens—with its new “upmarket” store concept—on the ground level of The Palazzo.
3
What are some helpful parking tips if you’re driving by car? For those driving, the easiest in-and-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.

Las Vegas shooting ranges provide safe places to try out gun skills No trip to Sin City is complete without an only-in-Vegas experience. You might decide to let Elvis perform your wedding ceremony, maybe place all your chips on black 17 to win or lose, or gorge at buffets. Or you could just choose to fire some powerful guns. Las Vegas sure does have firepower on its side with a bevy of shooting ranges to unload the weapon of your dreams in a safe, controlled environment. Fire the latest machine guns seen on video games, or shoot a shotgun found on a stagecoach. Whether you’re a first-timer who needs some help learning the basics or a pro who wants to experience a gun he’s never shot, these five firing ranges have something special for everyone. 66 1.15.17 LasVegasMagazine.com

5155 S. Dean Martin Drive, 9 a.m.-7 p.m. daily. 702.440.4867 Bring the whole family to the Gun Garage, with its themed shooting experiences geared toward first-time shooters and enthusiasts alike. Pick one of the firearms on hand such as an Uzi, a fully automatic Browning 1919, an old-timey Tommy gun or a Desert Eagle .44 Magnum. Head to one of 12 lanes here for a Zombie Apocalypse experience that has you shooting down the undead. Try the Only in Vegas experience with 18 different guns and eight targets for two people for $921. They also offer the unusual add-on of shooting a grenade launcher.

Or fire off guns used during Operation Overlord on the beaches of Normandy with the D-Day machine gun experience. Shoot 25 rounds with a Browning M1919 belt-fed machine gun, 50 rounds on a Thompson submachine gun or M3A1 “Grease Gun,” 25 rounds with an M2 machine gun and 20 rounds with a 1911 pistol.

Book the VIP room with its pool table, a private range and room for 40 people. Bachelor or bachelorette parties can fire off 250 rounds with an MP5, another 250 rounds with an M4 and 50 rounds with a 1911 handgun. If you work up an appetite, The Range 702 also features another pleasant perk—an onsite restaurant.

Las Vegas Gun Girls help out with safety at the range and offer lessons as well. Machine Guns Vegas themes its packages around the firepower fantasies of guests. If you are a master with a controller, see how you handle the real thing and shoot the guns you fire in Call of Duty, Counter-Strike and more—the M4, MP5, AK-47 and Glock 17. Just divorced? Bring in your wedding memorabilia and blow it away.
3084 S. Highland Dr. Suite C, 702.478.8550 If you’ve ever watched The Walking Dead or The Purge and thought to yourself, “I could do that,” head straight to the new Top Shot Las Vegas. Great for practicing your shooting skills, or just learning how to fire a weapon, this unique venue features nonlethal ammunition, which means you’ll feel safer if you’re a newbie. Start with a laser trainer, then fire away with real guns in scenarios like a zombie apocalypse or a home invasion (among several others), or just choose to pit yourself against others in an interactive Shoot House.

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-the-audience action.
