ip-hop and dirty bass heads unite: Snails is sliding into Vegas. Not familiar with the trap-loving gastropod? He’s been referred to as a “twisted trap monstrosity” by Billboard, and his debut fall album The Shell has received plenty of accolades for its blend of U.K. garage and sludgy, grimy, froglike bass. Give “Into the Light” a spin, and you’ll see what we mean. Since first appearing on Kannibalen Records in 2012, the Montreal-based DJ and producer born Frédérik Durand has garnered a devout following—“snail heads” indebted to Durand’s deep drops and glitchy,
turbulent samples. It’s like the thick, soul-crushing sounds of dubstep, but on acid. And it’s lovingly referred to as “vomitstep” by his legions of fans— wheich grew in 2015, when he collaborated with Skrillex and Diplo on their Jack Ü project. Recently he signed to Skrillex’s own OSWLA imprint. Durand started out playing in metal bands and listening to bands like Slayer as a teenager, but he was ultimately drawn to producing electronic music, which allowed him to create even noisier, louder sounds. “When I play, I want to play metal songs, and when I produce, I want
to go hard—do some riffs, make something similar,” Durand told Billboard in 2016. “I come from the background, and I feel like a big part of bass music is in that genre. When I see all the people head bang and break their neck … that brings me back.” RVLTN Presents Snails at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, November 26. –Leslie Ventura

ionel Richie is embarking on a project sure to strengthen his Las Vegas connections. After years of legal negotiations with the estate of Sammy Davis Jr., a team of producers including Richie has finally received the green light to develop a feature film based on Davis’ extraordinary life, a movie likely to detail Davis’ many years as a Vegas headliner. “It’s an honor for me to bring the life of one of my idols and friends to the screen. … I couldn’t be happier to be moving forward on this passion project,” Richie said earlier this year. He’s following in his idol’s footsteps now. The hitmaking former frontman of The Commodores launched his “All

the Hits” residency at the Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort in April 2016, and he’s back on the Strip this month with what has become one of the theater’s most popular productions. Richie truly has “All the Hits” and knows members of his audience have memories tied to each legendary track. His arsenal of slower tunes are among the best-loved love songs of all time, from “Hello” to “Three Times a Lady.” But if all the headliners at the Axis are required to turn their shows into a massive dance party—and that appears to be the case—Richie is more than up to the task. After all, you don’t sell more than 100 million albums on ballads alone. Richie gets everyone out of their seats with “All Night Long (All Night)” and
t h e

“Dancing on the Ceiling,” then pushes the idea of an arena-wide sing-along to the next level with anthemic hits “Say You, Say Me,” and the classic “Easy.” This show has all the elements to become one of the all-time greats on the Strip, perhaps powerful enough to place Richie in the same Las Vegas legend category as Sammy Davis Jr. Lionel Richie: All the Hits at the Axis at Planet Hollywood, November 29-December 16. –Brock Radke

ook Fast.” Those words, tattooed across a faux Converse logo, are the symbol of a small group of culinary professionals who have greatly impacted Las Vegas dining. Among their members is Johnny Church, who affectionately refers to them as a “street gang.” And he laughs at the impression some people get from it.

“It’s not about cooking fast,” Aureole’s executive chef says. “It’s like the whole sailor thing, like ‘hold fast.’ We all came up in kitchens together, we all worked on the line together and we had a camaraderie, a brotherhood-sisterhood sort of thing.” Church says the phrase dates back to the kitchens of both the Stirling Club—formerly at Turnberry Place—and Andre’s, where the group originally toiled together. And, as many of these stories go, the first Cook Fast tattoo involved a night of drinking, during which Church’s exwife inked a group of inebriated chefs including Las Vegas Country Club’s Mike Van Staden and Momofuku’s Shaun King (and later, Gastromix’s Chris Bulen, Scott Green of Robert Irvine’s Public House and Charlie Palmer Steak’s Lalo Saavedra). This crew is all over the place, and you didn’t even know it. When Church took the reins of what he affectionately refers to as Aureole 2.0 late last year, he implemented menu changes at the iconic Mandalay Bay restaurant in an attempt to source as many local and sustainable ingredients as possible, a challenging task for such a large venue. “My job here is to figure out how we can feed your soul by implementing cool and fun techniques but still executing at a high level while serving 350 covers a night,” he says. But the energetic chef doesn’t rest on his laurels, reflecting that “once a dish is right, it’s time to change it.” Cook fast indeed. –Jim Begley

o one at MGM Grand Garden Arena was surprised when “Despacito” took four trophies at the Latin Grammy Awards on November 16—the biggest night in Latin music was definitely going to recognize one of the biggest Spanish-language singles ever to hit the global charts. But the rest of the musical event was full of extraordinary performances, astonishing award presentations and memorable moments—including some very Vegas team-ups. Henderson resident Steve Aoki and Marquee Nightclub artist French Montana helped amp up a performance by J Balvin and Bad Bunny, and Wynn Nightlife superstar Diplo
was part of a show-closing ensemble (along with Bomba Estéreo and Victor Manuelle) that performed Luis Fonsi’s smash “Despacito.” Bringing awareness and aid to Puerto Rico was the focal point of the 18thannual awards ceremony, which opened with a moment of silence followed by Puerto Rican rap phenom Residente—who scored nine nominations and won two awards—performing “Hijos de Cañaveral.” Alejandro Sanz received the 2017 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year award, and Hamilton playwright Lin Manuel-Miranda was awarded the President’s Merit Award.
Among the surprises were bachatapop singer-songwriter Vicente García snagging three Latin Grammys and actor-salsa singer Ruben Blades winning twice for the album he recorded with Roberto Delgado & Orquesta— including the coveted Album of the Year award, where the veteran performer won out over stiff competition from Juanes, Shakira, Nicky Jam and Residente. –Brock Radke

ne good turn of the cocktail shaker deserves another. Nightlife pioneer David Rabin and renowned barman Sam Ross scored big with the Dorsey at Venetian last year, and now they’re taking another big swing with Rosina, a cocktail spot set to open on the casino floor at Palazzo in December. The classics will be the focus at this new drinking destination. “Like the world-class restaurant experiences we see on the Strip, the Venetian and the Palazzo are reimagining the conven-
tional notion of casino cocktails,” Sam Ross said in a statement. “There is a trailblazing cocktail culture unfolding at these resorts. With Rosina, your enjoyment is enhanced by attention to detail, in the drinks and the setting.” The intimate bar and lounge will seat nearly 65 with a design inspired by an elegant train car from another era, created in cocktail colors of Champagne, rose gold and blush. Expect lots of brass, crystal lighting, pink velvet chairs and a Champagne call button that will allow bubbly fans to top off their flutes on demand.
Those who enjoy Ross’ creative menu at the Dorsey should revel in his versions of time-honored libations like the Negroni, the Manhattan and the Dark and Stormy. Anyone who appreciates swanky, old-school surroundings and vintage vibes might have a new favorite place.

hen it made its Las Vegas debut in 2015 at Light Nightclub in Mandalay Bay, Baz felt like a bit of an experiment— something fresh and different in an unlikely venue, yet clearly aimed at a younger showgoing audience. That wasn’t the right spot for the genrebending show created by LA-based theatrical company For the Record, but it has since found its footing at
the Palazzo Theatre, where last week the cast and crew came together to celebrate show No. 400 since opening there in July 2016. Recently renamed Baz: A Musical Mash-Up, the energetic, immersive production famously blends songs and scenes from film visionary Baz Luhrmann’s movies Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby. The powerhouse ensemble cast contin-
ues to build buzz for one of the Strip’s most unique shows. There really is nothing else like it. Baz: A Musical Mash-Up at Palazzo Theatre, TuesdaySunday, 7 p.m., 702-414-9000.

here’s such a thing as a Strip sleeper. That’s when an amazing experience gets lost among all the noise and lights and fun on Las Vegas Boulevard. There’s an especially significant selection of sleeper restaurants on the Strip, because every casino resort has a stellar dining lineup and you may not be familiar with all the offerings.

Aria is known for its incredible restaurant collection, but the authentic Mexican cuisine supplied by Newport Beach transplant Javier’s is often left out of the conversation. It shouldn’t be. The dark, artful and inviting environment and bustling center bar at this easy-access location has been a hit for those in the know since Javier’s took the place of a steakhouse space in 2012. The fresh, addictive ceviches and hearty queso fundido top the list of favorite snacks to pair with a crisp margarita at that charming bar, but be warned that those who stop by for light bites and drinks
frequently end up grabbing a booth or table and making a night of the Javier’s experience. When that happens to you, consider the velvety beef shortrib braised in chile negro sauce; the lightly battered chiles rellenos stuffed with ground beef, potato, serrano peppers and Monterey Jack cheese; or the Cabo Azul combo—a Maine lobster enchilada in a creamy pasilla sauce, a grilled relleno filled with cheese, shrimp and fresh Dungeness crab, and an Ensenada-style shrimp taco on a flour tortilla. Accidental or intended, that’s a feast you won’t soon forget. Javier’s at Aria, 866-590-3637; daily 11:30 a.m.midnight.

as Vegas’ original Nobu restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel is doubling down on the Japanese whisky craze with Japanese Whisky Wednesdays—a weekly event offering the opportunity to indulge in one of the largest collections of the celebrated spirit in a creative way.

The special event cocktail menu features all-new drinks made with barrel-aged, pure malt and blended whiskeys, but Japanese craft beers and a wide range of sipping whiskeys are also available. You can take the experience to another level with Nobu bites paired with your chosen cocktail, too. The clean, fresh Toki Highball makes for the perfect entry point—Suntory Toki whisky with Voss Norwegian sparkling water, house-made yuzu bitters and a burnt Meyer lemon peel served over hand-carved ice.

And don’t miss the dramatically bright AKA-Suru, made with Taketsuru Pure Malt whisky, ginger liqueur, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice and house-made grenadine and cherry bitters. Nobu has been setting the pace and making an impact on the Vegas scene for more than 20 years. With this specialty experience, it’s clear this dining—and drinking—institution still has plenty to offer. Japanese Whisky Wednesdays at Nobu at the Hard Rock Hotel, Wednesday 6-10:30 p.m.
