come back and get a bartender that has half your dedication. The way I instill this message to our staff I think translates to the guest experience that you’re referring to. Through training, through education, through ongoing training, product knowledge … I can teach you to make a great cocktail. I can’t teach you to be passionate about making that cocktail. That comes from within.
Tony Abou-Ganim The master mixologist brings his talents to Libertine Social
Tony Abou-Ganim has been a pioneer of the cocktail revolution for nearly four decades, honing his craft before becoming an author, TV personality and consultant. The gregarious and unassuming master mixologist came to Vegas to create the cocktail program at Bellagio before joining chef Shawn McClain at Libertine Social. Now he mixes drinks in person as often as he can at a bar where he can be clearly seen by pleasantly surprised guests promenading through Mandalay Bay’s restaurant row. He spoke to Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen. Has educating bar patrons always been part of your job, or did that develop over time? I like to say I offer a moneyback guarantee because I don’t want to you to pay for and drink something that you don’t like that I recommended. I do think in a lot of things we kind of get stuck in
24 3.5.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
a rut. I go to Starbucks, I drink the same thing every time I’m there, and they’ve got a plethora of things to try. I feel the same way... about cocktails. Depending on what your mood is, what you like, let me take you on a little journey and expose you to some things that may be new to you.
It makes it different than sitting in a bar and just ordering a drink. You get the energy immediately and it pulls you in. Thank you. Here at Libertine Social we really encourage our bartenders to do the same thing. I’m behind the bar as much as I can be, but really they’re the ones … some of our greatest compliments that we’ve gotten so far have been on our staff, on their knowledge and how hospitable they are, friendly. In the words of Dale DeGroff, one of my mentors, he said, “I don’t go to bars. I go to bartenders.” That’s really what we wanted to instill in our bar team: “This is your bar. When you’re behind this bar, it’s your bar.” Somebody can’t come in here and get service from you, then
It is intuitive to see the potential that somebody has to work in the kind of environment you’re creating. To a point, yes. I always say I’ll hire passion over talent. We did really get a staff that wanted to be here, first and foremost. I think that’s so important. When you’re excited about coming to work every day it makes it like not coming to work. We really wanted to nurture that environment and send that message, because ultimately our guest experience will be enhanced through that. Knowing how well traveled you are, my first impression was this was your home base, and it was a sort of pulpit for you as a mixologist to evangelize. (Laughs) I’m glad you picked up on that because that’s absolutely true. I started my business in 2004 and since then I’ve flown over a million and a half miles to a lot of points all over the world and definitely all over the country. And it’s been fantastic that I’ve gotten to go out and learn and teach and grow, but what’s been missing is that home base, that bar that I can feel a part of. … Yeah, this is really a dream come true for me, and to be able to do it with Shawn McClain and MGM (Resorts) has just been fantastic.

SCENE
6,400 Seating capacity of the Park Theater at Monte Carlo. The venue is capable of hosting everything from concerts to award shows.
You’ll see plenty of exterior shots of hotels in the famous movie Showgirls, but only one scene was actually shot indoors: The scene where Liz Berkley plays slots at Caesars Palace.
Hair Care
Charity is, of course, its own reward, but it’s a bonus when it’s fun to boot. On March 11 at New York-New York, join the fundraising fun at the annual St. Baldrick’s Day head-shaving event from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., an event filled with live music, Strip celebrities and lots of giving souls shedding their hair for child cancer research. This year’s celebrities include cast members from Absinthe, Tenors of Rock and Magic Mike, not to mention entertainer Terry Fator. Admission is free. Last year’s event raised more than $200,000; the organization aims to surpass that this year.
From Japan With Love
Japanese whisky’s popularity has never been higher, and Sushi Samba at The Palazzo now boasts what it calls the largest Japanese whisky list in Las Vegas. Fans can find almost everything among the list of 26 whiskies, including rare bottlings like Akashi 5-Year Sherry Cask, Mars 3 & 25, and Nikka Taketsuru 17-Year Pure Malt. And Sushi Samba now offers a curated menu pairing the whiskies with everything from crispy tempura minter sweet oysters to whisky-soy marinated robata pork ribs. For more information, call 702.607.0700.
Gamblers, there’s a man you should thank for the privilege: Phil Tobin, who authored the legislation to legalize gambling in 1931. But strangely enough, the Nevada rancher had never even visited Las Vegas. When Caesars Palace was built in 1966, construction costs were $19 million. At the time it was the most spent on one property, but the going rate on new casinos these days ranges in the billions of dollars. CityCenter, a massive project on the Las Vegas Strip that includes Aria, Vdara, Veer Towers, Mandarin Oriental and Crystals, contains enough concrete to build a 4-foot sidewalk from Las Vegas to New York and back.
One question
Toby Allen Of Human Nature What experience had the most profound impact on the adult you’ve become? There are few experiences that shaped the man I have become more than my high school years. I was a boarder at a school with a tradition steeped in football and farming. At 12 years of age, with a love for music and performing, I was an easy target for the mockery of my peers and older students. The first few years there were particularly difficult, not only dealing with limited time with my parents and family but also keeping my head held high day to day. The flip side of my experience didn’t become apparent until I had left school and gone out into the world to fend for myself. All the things I was forced to do during high school—like my own washing, managing my nonschool hours and taking responsibility for a younger group of students as a dormitory monitor—combined to fill me with independence and confidence to look after myself that I may not have had otherwise. As for the bullying, which continues to be a major problem in a lot of schools, it ultimately shaped me into a man that has been able to trust in the things I love doing and appreciate the support and love of those who have been there for me in the toughest times. Human Nature performs at The Venetian. Shows are 7 p.m. Tues.-Sat. Call 702.414.9000 for tickets.

Animated Laughs The cast of Jeff Dunham’s show is certainly eclectic, with such characters as a cranky old man named Walter, a talking jalapeño named José and even a terrorist—Achmed the Dead Terrorist, that is. And whether Dunham becomes the voice of reason or some other attitude depends

on who he has a hand on—or in. Walter, the crusty old curmudgeon, has no filter and says whatever comes to mind. Politicians, Hollywood celebrities, important business executives no matter, all have felt Walter’s wrath as he tells them to “Shut the hell up!” On the more endearing side is Peanut, goofy,
purple, a bit manic, certainly energetic and perhaps a little “naughty,” according to Dunham. His off-the-wall comments are hilarious if not somewhat irreverent, and he is pleased to be that way. And we can’t forget Bubba J, who adds to the merriment of a memorable evening of fun and laughter. –Penny Levin

Shimmy and Shake Welcome to Fantasy—a sexy kaleidoscope of hot gals crossed with cool choreography and the powerhouse singing of Lorena Peril, pictured. 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 midpoint, and it all closes with sweet satisfaction, as the Fantasy ladies prowl back onstage for one final thrill. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Dangerous Talent Time Remembered Few entertainers make the effort to connect with their audiences like Wayne Newton does. For almost six decades, Newton has given his all during every show to give his audiences what they want, singing his greatest songs and making it impossible for anyone to deny his passion. Now Mr. Las Vegas is back at Bally’s, connecting in a different way—relaying stories from his life and answering questions in Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal.

Whether discussing becoming a musical icon while still in his early 20s, entertaining U.S. troops for decades or breeding Arabian horses, he’ll have more than enough material to keep audiences enthralled. As an added bonus, Newton will play a few tunes, from “Danke Schoen” to “Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast.” Even if you’ve been to numerous Newton performances before, this show guarantees a side of him you’ve never seen, or heard, before. –Ken Miller
On Season 11 of America’s Got Talent, Comedy Daredevil’s Ryan Stock and AmberLynn were arguably the most memorable performers. Stock delighted in testing the audience’s threshold for the daredevil act. His stunts included starting a chain saw and inserting the tip in his mouth, balancing it perfectly overhead and, of course, the crossbow misfire where Stock took a flaming arrow to the neck. While he was not seriously hurt, he had a serious-looking bruise the next day. But beware: Watching them up close is a whole different experience. Are you brave enough? –KM Hooters, 9 p.m. Thurs.-Sat., $34.95-$49.95 VIP plus tax and fee. 702.597.6024

He’s Got the Look Many acts featured on NBC’s America’s Got Talent leave us speechless, but very rarely are the acts speechless themselves. That all changed with last season’s emergence of Tape Face, aka New Zealand comic mime Sam Wills. Using a variety of props, some perfect timing and a pair of eyeballs that spoke volumes, Tape Face proved to be an endless source of entertainment, whether it was dancing with himself to “Lady In Red” or having a pair of oven mitts sing along to (and eventually kiss to) “Endless Love.” It wasn’t just the scenarios he was creating; it was his reactions that really sold them. As the season continued, the true entertainment value of Tape Face was in trying to figure out what he was up to next. A bunch of red balloons? A staple gun? A horse’s head on a stick? You were just helplessly along for the ride, but you were always laughing. Tape Face, who brings his unique brand of comedy to Las Vegas, has managed to tap into
that part of everyone’s childhood when they let their imaginations run wild. Regardless of your maturity level, we dare you to keep a straight face during this show. –Ken Miller

Down in the Deep Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is home to 15 types of sharks as well as an array of other deadly predators that inhabit the depths. The premise of the exhibit is that the ocean and its creatures are slowly reclaiming a temple and a ship. The aquarium’s myriad tanks offer fascinating views of piranha, lionfish, jellyfish, Burmese pythons, monitor lizards, golden crocodiles and so much more. Touch screens and plaques answer almost every question you could have about the tanks’ exotic inhabitants.
In the largest tank, species such as sawfish, rays and sharks swim together. And to put the immersive experience over the top, two tunnels allow sharks to swim right over you. It is indescribable to have one look you in the eye as it swims past. –Nina King 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 children 4-12, free children 3 and younger, Nevada residents with proper ID receive a discount. 702.632.4555

Voices Upon Voices Terry Fator is one the most talented entertainers on the Las Vegas Strip, but his fans don’t pay big money just to see him. Well, sure, they want to hear Fator impeccably mimic the singing voices of legends like Etta James, Garth Brooks, Ed Sheeran, Elvis Presley and dozens more, but given that he’s a ventriloquist, what they really want is to hear those voices come out of the mouths of Fator’s famous cast of puppets. Roy Orbison coming out of Fator’s mouth? Impressive.
Roy Orbison from the mouth of Winston the Impersonating Turtle? Gold! But it’s not just the voices; Fator wants his audience to connect with every character—because in a way, they’re part of who he is. And from Rusty the Robot to Vikki the Cougar, Fator is always finding new characters to add. –Ken Miller The Mirage, 7:30 p.m. Mon.-Thurs., additional 7:30 p.m. show March 11, $59.99-$149.99 MVP Experience, plus tax and fee, 5+. 702.792.7777

Towering Flavors One of the most amazing things about the Top of the World is undeniably the view. The entire dining room area of the restaurant is on a circular track, which makes a complete rotation around the tower top of the hotel every 80 minutes. Arrive just before sunset for a vista through the twostory windows that goes from high-def panoramas to myriad lights twinkling as far the eye can see. It is literally the perfect place for a romantic, gourmet dinner. The grilled portobello starter is an excellent way to begin the meal—buf-
falo mozzarella, roasted red peppers and portobello strips, with light balsamic reduction and a chive oil to finish. Or try tender scallops, served with a sudachi tamari glaze. The restaurant sources the scallops from Japan instead of Maine for a more tender morsel. Moving on to the main course, you won’t feel slighted. Top of the World offers several cuts, all with different preparation, such as the 12-ounce skirt steak with caramelized onions, and plenty of chimichurri sauce to accent. –Nina King
Let It Fly With two experiences, get all kinds of thrills at SlotZilla, located on the Fremont Street Experience. The zipline’s takeoff platform is 74 feet above the ground and the zoomline launch pad rises 40 feet higher to enable guests to hurtle horizontally for 1,750 feet. The lower level places the rider in an upright, seated position that can rotate, but the upper level is a head-first experience that essentially turns the guest into a human missile. –Matt Kelemen Fremont Street Experience, 1 p.m.-1 a.m. Sun.Thurs., 1 p.m.-2 a.m. Fri.-Sat., $25 lower zipline, $40 zoomline, age and weight restrictions may apply. vegasexperience.com

Take the Night to the Top Come for the specials, stay for the views If anything has been instilled in couples over thousands of years of courtship, it’s that romantic gestures, whether they are planned or spontaneous, are not only welcome, but expected. Las Vegas certainly has enough picturesque rendezvous to stoke the love flame, but few reach the absurd heights—or remarkable ambience—of 107 SkyLounge. Located above the Top of the World Restaurant, on the penultimate floor in the tallest building west of the Mississippi, 107 SkyLounge is the ideal retreat for first dates or 50th wedding anniversaries, predinner or late-night cocktails. Shafts of red light perfectly complement the candlelit tables and plush chairs, and the circular lounge provides 360-degree views of the city.

The bar—wisely positioned with a view of the Strip—illuminates one of the most recognizable skylines. There’s not a bad seat in the house. SkyLounge might not immediately come to mind when talking about the best early evening deals on food and drink, but it should. From 4-7 p.m. daily, the lounge offers a phenomenal early happy hour, with two-for-one martinis and half-off appetizers like meatball sliders, lollipop chicken wings and roasted tomato fondue. That the apps come from the same kitchen as Top of the World restaurant is even more incentive, considering that establishment has been a culinary destination for years, sporting the same 360-degree views as the lounge and observation deck above it.
Night owls can now catch a late-night happy hour starting at 10:30 p.m. And throughout the week, specials pop up like Skyy High Mondays with $5 Skyy vodka drinks, 1 a.m.-4 a.m. Woman Crush Wednesdays invites all ladies to get 2-for-1 drinks, and Panorama Saturdays offers 15 percent off bottle service and $5 Absolut vodka drinks, 1 a.m.-4 a.m. Enjoy DJ sets every night of the week, too, beginning at 11 p.m. With breathtaking views, romance on tap, awesome drink and food specials and DJs pumping the music up every night, 107 SkyLounge certainly sits at the top of the competition, literally and figuratively. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Stratosphere, 4 p.m.-4 a.m. daily. 702.380.7777

Two is better than one, right? At Beijing Noodle No. 9 in Caesars Palace, the entrance is flanked by two rows of tall aquariums on either side, and two kitchens mean double the chance to find a treasure. One of those kitchens at the traditional Chinese restaurant, to one side of the entrance, prepares dim sum, and the other, at the back of a small dining room, takes care of the rest of the enormous menu. The dining room itself is decorated on all sides and ceiling with white, cut-out abstract panels lit from the back, creating a pretty environment. Although it might be hard to choose your dishes simply because of the menu’s size (it’s 14 pages), the variety means you can find a favorite, or jump in and try something unusual. It’s family-style here, and dishes will arrive when they are ready to be served, so don’t expect a break between courses. If you start with the spicy pork wontons, accented with scallions, and sesame seed, you’ll find they really aren’t overly spicy, but the tiny little bites are definitely a bit peppery. Another dim sum fave is the pork soup dumplings. Dip the little pockets in black vinegar before popping into your mouth, where you’ll get a flavorful little shot of broth. Adventurous? Try the marinated jellyfish. A nice dish of cucumber in a ginger sauce helps lighten things up a bit. The braised sea bass makes for a nice entrée, lightly fried cubes of fish cooked with onions, cilantro and asparagus in a clay pot. The bass is light and fluffy; just remember that as is common with many Chinese fish dishes, the bones will not have been removed. Just drop those to the side after getting to the meat. A similar dish, the braised eggplant and tofu, creates a comfort food with chunks of fried tofu, mushrooms, asparagus and an earthy sauce. You can get all manner of dishes with noodles here (hence the name), from the fiery Sichuan dan dan spring noodle to the hand-pulled Beijing zha jiang. Soups, rice, seafood, chicken, beef and lamb dishes— there’s even a hot pot section on the menu, and certain dishes have suggested drink pairings. The barbecue platter features roast duck, poached chicken and barbecue pork, and comes with sauces that complement each meat.

Desserts here are delicious. From the dim sum menu, choose the Egg Yolk Quicksand. The steamed buns are filled with a sweet, custardy filling that, when the “egg” is broken, flows out like a yolk. It’s quite yummy. And chilled mango soup is thick with floating tapioca balls as sweet mango and tangy pomelo chunks swim in a gorgeous yellow sea. You will finish every bite, guaranteed!

Food and beverage director helps pave the way All the ladies making a difference for women in business everywhere, please stand up. That would include Megan Humphreys, director of food and beverage for Four Seasons Hotel. “I say that the one thing that really drives me—I have two daughters. So, if I don’t show them how to go to work every day and be a professional, what woman will?” said Humphreys. “I feel passionately about what I do. This is (mainly) a male-dominated industry, so I’m hoping that my daughters can see that I’m paving the way for women and for working moms.” And the strength that Humphreys brings to her job she also brings to her personal life. She’s a multiple Ironman competitor. “There’s something so special about crossing the finish

line. It’s such a sense of accomplishment,” Humphreys said. Speaking of accomplishments, the California native has worked her way up the corporate ladder since graduating from Pennsylvania State University’s hospitality school. She’s held F&B management positions at hotels in Tucson, Ariz., and Dallas, and joined the Four Seasons about 10 months ago. While she’s responsible for innovating and maintaining food and beverage offerings, “first and foremost is customer service. They’re our sole focus in really providing the best service we can.” Working hard with an amazing team and seeing the results of that work, she said, is what keeps her striving for success. –Kiko Miyasato
At the property’s indooroutdoor lounge, Press, Humphreys and the beverage team recently introduced the new spring cocktail menu. All of the handcrafted cocktails are made with special touches such as fresh-squeezed and coldpressed juices, housemade bitters and marinated fruits. A perfect fit for spring, said Humphreys, is the Grapefruit Negroni, a light and refreshing blend of Bombay Sapphire gin, Vittone vermouth, Aperol and cold-pressed grapefruit juice. –KM

The Boys Are Back With a career spanning more than 20 years, the Backstreet Boys are one of the bestselling boy bands of all time, with more than 130 million albums sold worldwide. They’ve scored a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, topped the Billboard charts overseas and in the U.S., and received numerous awards, among other accolades.
And they’re not done yet. Recently, Back Street Boys embarked on their first-ever Vegas residency: Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life at The Axis Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort. “We’re able to create a show that’s going to be different, and probably, I would say bigger and larger than some of the other shows,”
said Howie Dorough. “This show is going to be Vegas-style; it’s definitely big. We’ve taken on a big production, dancers, us; it’s going to be huge. It’s going to be like the Into the Millennium Tour.” Fans will hear favorites, including “Quit Playing Games (with My Heart),” “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and, of course, “Larger Than Life.” –Chanelle Hayes

In the Reggae Mood If it is your desire to be transported to the Caribbean, to feel the sand between your toes, to go wherever the breeze may lift you, then you might not have to leave Las Vegas at all. Tribal Seeds, the acclaimed reggae group from San Diego, makes a Sin City stop on its Winter Roots Tour in what is bound to be an evening filled with skanking and moving with the rhythm. Get your hips ready. Formed in 2005 by brothers Steven Rene and Tony-Ray Jacobo, the five-piece unit has shared the stage with the likes of Dave Matthews Band, Jack White, MGMT and Rebelution. Between touring and their continued quality of records, they have climbed all the way to the top of the Billboard Reggae Charts with Representing (2014). That album features the island-worthy jam “Herb Stock” which contains the lyrics, “Genesis of roots / Seeking the rays of the sun / Cultivated from the ancients / And smoked since day one.” Yes, everything will be irie. –Jason Harris
Keeping a Balance
A lot of child prodigies don’t grow up to be adult prodigies. But Kenny Wayne Shepherd has maintained a successful career since the age of 13. Debut album Ledbetter Heights was released when he was just 18 in 1995. As Shepherd matured, he took his sound in a more rock direction, and took over vocals in addition to guitar for 2004 album The Place You’re In. Since then, Shepherd has balanced rock and blues, as well as vocals and guitar, with blues projects like 2007’s 10 Days Out: Blues From the Backroads. These days, he splits vocal duties with singer Noah Hunt. More than 25 years after signing that first deal, Shepherd has grown into a respected performer, and he still sounds like a prodigy when he picks up the guitar. –Josh Bell The Orleans, 8 p.m. March 10-11, starting at $29.95 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Let It Be Blues Most musicians go their entire careers without recording a song as iconic as George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone.” The blues-rocker’s 1982 single, taken from his fifth album, wasn’t an instant hit, but it’s since become one of the most recognizable music cues in popular culture, used in dozens of movies, TV shows, commercials, video games and sporting events. Its indelible riff and simple lyrics convey the arrival of a certified badass, whether that’s Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgment Day or the Grave Digger monster truck or the title character in the Problem Child movies. Of course, Thorogood (along with his longtime backing band, the Destroyers) is more than just “Bad to the Bone.” He’s one of a handful of blues musicians keeping the genre alive with mainstream audiences, with his versions of standards from the likes of Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker and Johnny Otis. Thorogood’s energetic, rock-oriented take on the blues has been a staple of classic-rock radio for decades now, with originals like “Bad to the Bone” and “I Drink Alone,” along with covers like “Move It on
Over” and “Who Do You Love?” that he’s made his own. That iconic song is just one part of an iconic career. –Josh Bell

A Perfect Introduction William Singe is somewhat of a genius. The pop star has managed to break through in two nontraditional ways—and he’s only 24. First, as a contestant on The X Factor: Australia; second, with his social media singing career. On The X Factor, he didn’t make it past the super bootcamp round as an individual, so he was lumped into a boy band with some other contestants who didn’t progress. That group, The Collective, finished third on the show. The band’s debut album came in strong at No. 11 on the Aria Album Charts and was certified gold. But Singe still had his eyes on his own spotlight. After leaving The Collective, he had about 20,000 fans on social media. He started posting covers of songs from more famous artists (everyone from Justin Bieber to Adele), recordings he did in his bedroom. At last count, his reimagining of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” had upwards of 25 million views. Singe has a soulful voice and now showcases his own music. “Rush” is a radio-ready single that is sure to be a live bopper. With The Introduction Tour, it seems that the world will be introduced to William Singe soon if they already haven’t been. –Jason Harris

Billy Idol brings his punk-pop sensibilities back to Vegas
BILLY IDOL ENDED THE FINAL DATE of his House of Blues Las Vegas residency with fist pumps and a Tarzan yell during longtime set closer “Mony, Mony,” but by the time of that Oct. 22 show, fans knew that Billy Idol: Forever would be back for another round of concerts in March and May. “One year in Las Vegas just isn’t enough,” he said in an announcement posted to his YouTube channel days before the latest chapter of his life as a Mandalay Bay headliner came to a close. Idol is hooked on Vegas Strip success and unlike some of the more self-destructive habits he’s managed to overcome, success is a habit he’s never been keen to let go of. Idol has mainly occupied his schedule with playing live as of late, 2014’s release of memoir Dancing with Myself and Trevor Horn-produced album Kings and Queens of the Underground. It was Idol’s first recording under his own imprint BFI Records, which last year released BFI Live, a limited-edition, three-album vinyl set culled from his 2014-’15 tour. In February, a post to his Twitter account revealed he’s been remastering “Idol music” and planned to remaster Generation X albums for iTunes as well. His residency kicked off in March of last year, allowing him and his band to enjoy respites of stability when they weren’t traveling to play outside of Vegas. After a summer tour, Idol joined former Sex Pistol Steve Jones for a few acoustic songs, including “Dancing with Myself,” at the Sept. 16 opening of the new Ramones exhibit at L.A.’s Grammy Museum. A week later, Miley Cyrus joined his band onstage at T-Mobile Arena during the first night of the 2016 iHeartRadio Festival, where she and Idol strutted onstage together during their duet of HOUSE OF BLUES “Rebel Yell.” By October he was back at AT MANDALAY BAY, the House of Blues, demonstrating that 7 p.m. March 8, 10-11, 15, titling his residency Forever wasn’t wish17-18, 22 & 24-25, starting at $79.50 plus tax and ful thinking on his part. fee, 18+. 800.745.3000 Idol’s career has always been marked Ticketmaster by a blend of self-creation and serendipity. He had already cut his hair and segued from acid rock to underground sounds when a call from a friend about London’s fledgling punk scene led him to discontinue his education and join the action. He and his bandmates in Generation X accomplished going from rehearsals in August 1976 to being featured on BBC music program Top of the Pops in 1977 through sheer will, which Idol relied on as he forged a solo career in the early ’80s with his self-titled debut and 1983 breakthrough smash Rebel Yell. Things could have been very different for Idol if drinking bourbon with the Rolling Stones hadn’t inspired the career-defining title cut from Rebel Yell, if he hadn’t been introduced to iconoclastic guitar wizard Steve Stevens, if his friend hadn’t called him at school. Idol worked all of those happenstances to his advantage, much as he continues to do with Billy Idol: Forever. The man who brought punk-inspired rock to the masses will keep fist-pumping as long as crowds continue to respond with choruses of “More, more, more.”

Mars hits the Park Theater riding high on the success of his latest album, 24K Magic, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard album charts when it was released in November. The title track and lead single has made the top 10 in more than a dozen countries, and the video features Mars partying at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Rolling Stone called 24K Magic “a shining moment for Bruno Mars,” and Entertainment Weekly said that “nearly every track sounds like top 40 gold.” Mars has been an expert miner of that sort of gold for his entire career, starting as a songwriter and producer with the trio known as the Smeezingtons, who worked on hit songs for artists like B.o.B, Cee-Lo Green and Travie McCoy. Mars parlayed that work behind the scenes into his own solo career, releasing his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, in 2010. That album spawned the huge hits “The

Superstar driver Kurt Busch revs up for NASCAR Weekend By Steve Bornfeld
Two big blessings in one big year and the man didn’t even have to do what he does best—grab the wheel and hit the gas—to bask in them. “I’m a big-time Cubs fan,” says superstar NASCAR driver Kurt Busch, who was among the ecstatic faithful whose thirst for ChiTown glory was quenched when the Cubbies ended a 108-year drought with a World Series title last fall. Only weeks later came his second grand slam—marriage to polo player Ashley Van Metre. “It seems like such a fairy tale since I met her,” Busch says, sounding every bit the swooning newlywed, whose championshipcrammed life—punctuated by explosive moments well-chronicled by the media—seems calmed by the bliss. “There’s such an intense focus on the NASCAR circuit, so it’s nice to come home and have that comfort and that love and that peace of mind. And the two of us really complement each other when it comes to the sports part of it.” Yes, let’s talk the sports part—as in NASCAR Weekend, barreling into the Vegas scene with Busch on the bill, participating in

Drag queen kingpin Frank Marino gives Divas Las Vegas a sweeping makeover “It’s a good thing I was born a girl—otherwise I’d be a drag queen.” –Dolly Parton Whaddya think, Frank, baby—a new Divas Las Vegas punch line? We’ll play consultant (fee-free) as you’re performing a major makeover for the female impersonation showcase (and its troupe of “divas”) of which you are creator, director and star. About that—do tell. “I change it a little every year, but that never seems like a whole new thing, so I decided, let’s do everything in one shot, a big boom for 2017,” says Frank Marino (Frank, baby to us) about the refresh, bowing March 6.
“I always thought of losing my virginity as a career move.” –Madonna C’mon, Frank, baby, you’ve gotta love that one. But please continue. “We’ve got new characters, new opening, new finale, new dances, new music for existing characters, new gowns and dresses for myself, new monologue—90 percent Donald Trump.” (Gowns in bright orange?) Oh, and a bump from 75 to 90 minutes.

“I’ve always been famous, it’s just no one knew it yet.” –Lady Gaga Cute quip, Frank, baby? “Our highlighted number, since the Super Bowl, is Lady Gaga. It seems like she’s taken over the world.” New lineup? Behold: Madonna, Whitney, Britney, Beyonce, Gaga, Celine, Cher, Dolly, Shania, Bette, Rihanna, Streisand, Pink, Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Janet Jackson, Broadway’s Linda Eder and Pat Benatar. “I wanted to capture the man audience. When they come to the show with their wives they love it, but I want them to come in all by themselves. I wanted to put in characters who were less threatening. With Pat Benatar it wasn’t just gay men who loved her, but Middle America.”
“Why does a woman work 10 years to change a man’s habits and then complain that he’s not the man she married?” –Barbra Streisand Pencil that one in, Frank, baby! But let’s hear specifics. “Our Linda Eder does an open-
ing number called ‘Big Time’ about show business. Adele is straight from a concert where you see her eyes and she sings ‘Hello.’We’re taking Streisand back to ’94 when she started singing again in concert—redone versions of ‘I’m Still Here’ and ‘Don’t Rain On My Parade,’ but with funny lyrics. And I throw in things from musicals, like Jekyll & Hyde, a piece called ‘Bring on the Men.’”
“I feel like a million tonight—but one at a time.” –Bette Midler Ooh, that’s good, don’t ya think? But how about the show’s new look, Frank, baby? “I gave costumes for the background dancers for Adele, they’re like warrior outfits, like black leather kilts. Dancers for ‘Big Time’ will be in zoot suits. For my finale, I have all these feathers, which I stole from Mariah Carey on
New Year’s Eve.” (The idea, not the feathers, silly.)
“I could serve coffee using my rear as a ledge.” –Jennifer Lopez Please—you can’t resist that one, Frank, baby. But how about your hosting? “I still open as Joan Rivers. I tried to take it out when she passed but so many people wanted her. Then I
do my own character. In my monologue—thank you, Donald Trump. I’m in heaven. You’ve given me so much material that I’ll never retire.” Glad to hear that, Frank baby.

Construction is part of everyone’s life. Just try to imagine a day when you haven’t seen an orange cone or a sign requiring you to merge lanes or take a detour. And yes, most of us react with either annoyance or flat-out indignance because of traffic construction delays, but that’s really just wasted energy. Construction of all types is a necessary part of any society. It’s a lifeblood that keeps thousands employed, and its infrastructural benefits far outweigh its inconveniences. In other words: Construction rocks. Embrace it. And this week, thousands will be doing just that at CONEXPO-CON/AGG, a five-day convention centering on the latest innovations in all aspects of construction at the Las Vegas Convention Center. And while thousands of convention attendees will be tirelessly checking out the latest in earthmoving equipment, asphalt, concrete and much more, they’ll also be gearing up to head to some amazing CONEXPO-CON/AGG events. And, of course, they’ll also spend some time making lasting friendships. But once in a while they’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—after all, your time here is limited. Let our staff ’s decades of experience here give you that insider’s edge.

In the city that does everything over the top, classic cuts of beef are still king By Las Vegas Magazine Staff Gordon Ramsay Steak
There’s just no escaping it— Las Vegas is a land of steakhouses and buffets. We’ve got more of each in one 4-mile stretch of road than most whole cities, and there’s no shortage of amazing experiences to be had. Whether your appetite demands a Fred Flintstone-sized cut or a steak of more reasonable proportions, Las Vegas definitely has you more than covered.
2
35-ounce tomahawk (35 Steaks + Martinis, Hard Rock Hotel) So special they named the restaurant after it, the 35-ounce, 35-day-aged USDA Prime tomahawk is the feather in the cap of the Hard Rock’s trendy steakhouse. The eyecatcher is the giant rib bone, but the marbled beef stands on its own, especially when paired with sides like roasted mushrooms or mac-nextra cheese.
72 3.5.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
1
32-ounce royal longbone chop (Gordon Ramsay Steak, Paris) Gordon Ramsay’s first restaurant in Las Vegas was much trumpeted upon its arrival in 2012, and with good reason. Its beef, sourced from Pat LaFrieda and dry-aged for 28 days in LaFrieda’s Himalayan salt room, quickly won over critics and fans alike, especially his royal long-bone chop, a cut worthy of Her Majesty.
35 Steaks + Martinis
Foundation Room
3
8-ounce center-cut filet (Foundation Room, Mandalay Bay) The only thing better than the view from this restaurant at the top floor of Mandalay Bay is the amazing steak selection. Red meat here makes for memorable, melt-in-your-mouth enjoyment. The center-cut filet gets seared with a rub of pink Hawaiian salt, letting nature do the rest. Dip a forkful into the dab of béarnaise sauce for the perfect complement.
Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, The Steak House at Circus Circus and Foundation Room photos by Peter Harasty
4
prime Porterhouse (Alder & Birch, The Orleans) The smallish steak section’s in-house dry-aged options include grass-fed ribeye, filet mignon, 12-ounce flat-iron steak and the 22-ounce bone-in ribeye, but for a truly unforgettable experience, try the signature prime porterhouse, a 24-ounce cut with excellent flavor and lovely to behold. Don’t forget to pair it with sides like blue cheese scalloped potatoes, a luscious grilled cream of corn, quinoa with sprouts and roasted root veggies.
5
Creekstone Farms Angus chateaubriand (Delmonico Steakhouse, The Venetian) Arkansas City, Kan., beef purveyor Creekstone Farms is responsible for Delmonico Steakhouse’s tender chateaubriand, essentially a long filet for two carved tableside. (Creekstone Farms also supplies beef to another Emeril Lagasse restaurant, his flagship Emeril’s in New Orleans.) The naturally raised Angus cut arrives not a la carte but with sides of asparagus and garlic smashed potatoes.
6
14-ounce brooklyn filet (Stack, The Mirage) If you crave hearty meat, Stack has what you need. Beefy offerings include the 14-ounce Brooklyn filet, a gorgeous cut that wows you from the get-go. Burgundy butter and peppercorn sauce really enhance the flavors. Make sure to pair it with the stone ground grits with Vermont cheddar and the crispy Brussels sprouts.
N9NE Steakhouse
Stack
7
44-ounce Prime ribeye tomahawk for two (N9NE Steakhouse, Palms) Not that size should matter, but N9NE’s ribeye tomahawk takes the cake when it comes to onthe-bone heft. The massive cut is pepper-crusted and grilled, then served with a red wine sauce alongside roasted bone marrow, seasonal vegetables and baby Dutch potatoes.
The Steak House at Circus Circus
Andiamo Italian Steakhouse
8
32-ounce Andiamo tomahawk (Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, The D) It was the owner of the The D, Derek Stevens, who brought Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse to Vegas, and Vicari who tapped butchers Pat LaFrieda and Stockyard Premium to provide the beef. The Andiamo tomahawk is dry-aged for 30 days and “charred to perfection,” as the menu states.
Stack photo by Big French, 35 Steaks + Martinis photo by Erik Kabik
9
filet mignon (The Steak House at Circus Circus) You really can’t go wrong here, but you would be remiss in passing up the filet mignon, as juicy and flavorful as it is tender. If you’re looking for something different in the way of sides, try the black bean soup, served with a small side of sherry and chopped onions, to add flavor as desired.

Reinvented and Reinvigorated For many, Charlie Palmer’s Aureole (Mandalay Bay, 702.632.7401) was perfect, so why would he want to change it? “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 ... We’re looking at introducing ourselves to a different generation of clientele,” Palmer said.
Photo by Christopher DeVargas
Johnny Church, who worked at Aureole in his early career, was hired as executive chef. Menu development and testing occupied much of Church’s time before the transformation, resulting in a menu that addresses trends with diners, from sharing plates to 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
raclette fondue, among others. Even the wine experience is different. “Now the focus is going to be on offering multiple tastings of wine, as opposed to bottles,” said Palmer. And Aureole’s change was an important one, Palmer said. “You can never stop thinking how we can make something better or more current. The minute we stop doing that, we’re in trouble.” –Nina King

Carpaccio features smoked beef and a poached egg. A shrimp cocktail also makes an appearance; if that’s not enough seafood, try one of the chilled towers. The gnocchi arrabbiata, baked in a wonderfully spicy sauce of Calabrian chili and San Marzano tomatoes, comes with buffalo mozzarella resting atop a goodly amount of the tender dumplings. Pappardelle Bolognese, one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, and short rib cavatelli with piquillo peppers will also make your mouth happy. And the lobster fra’ diavolo, pictured, is just as pretty as it is tasty. –Nina King
