Patton Oswalt
Comedian brings his unique views on the world to the Vegas stage Patton Oswalt may be the ideal comedian to play Las Vegas right now; it’s hard to find someone who better embodies the idea that the show must go on. The veteran stand-up comic, writer, actor and voice-over expert digs deep into the difficult past year of his life in his Netflix special Annihilation, a groundbreaking performance equally hilarious and sad. Oswalt’s wife, writer Michelle McNamara, died suddenly at age 46 last year, leaving him with their 8-year-old daughter. He explored the struggle to move on in Annihilation, miraculously but unsurprisingly mixing in plenty of laughs. And he’s donating half of his pay from this week’s performance on Dec. 2 at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel to the Las Vegas Victims Fund. He spoke to Las Vegas Magazine’s Brock Radke recently. It’s been a while since you performed in Las Vegas. I used to come (often) back in the day, at the Riviera and other (places). I’ve done a couple events where I was hosting at the Hard Rock, but I don’t think I’ve ever gone out there like this, with me as the show. I’m the headliner, and that’s a little unnerving. This is Vegas. That’s a big deal. Years ago, you gave a speech to the graduating class at your high school and you told them about the five environments, a lesson about seeing the world and finding where you will thrive. Is Las Vegas an environment where you fit? I like visiting Las Vegas, but I can’t stay there for a longer amount of time. It’s the rhythm of it. Some people really thrive there, and I’m great for a couple of days. But I’ve been there from Sunday to Sunday doing shows and it gets a little much for me. The neon desert is not where I thrive. You never reuse material once you’ve performed it in a television comedy special, but it seems like the personal
22 11.26.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
and political themes from Annihilation could keep showing up in your act. Well, I hope the Trump stuff doesn’t last, because I hope he’s gone soon. I don’t want four more years of Trump material. People used to tell me, “You’re going to miss George W. Bush,” for the same reason, but I’d say, “Eh, I’d rather not be torturing people and have our money be on fire.” The tradeoff isn’t worth it. I hope to work in more general themes rather than speaking on the outrage or depression of the moment, but we’ll see. There’s also the expectation of Trump jokes. Is it difficult to focus your comedy in another direction when it’s such a dominant topic? If anything, it forces you as a comedian or writer to be even more present or aware of the little moments in life between people rather than the macro-outrages you’re checking out on Twitter every day. Maybe one good thing that comes out of this is that we have to be more tuned into life. … Annihilation was so inwardlooking, but maybe by being so
specific, it becomes universal and (people) will find parallels with their own lives. There are different ways to approach connectivity when you’re onstage, and there’s no one way that’s right or wrong. One way is to lose yourself and another is to amplify yourself, but each can lead to a deeper connection to the audience. What do you have coming as far as film and TV projects? You’re in a movie next year called Sorry to Bother You that has an interesting story—a black
telemarketer who makes his voice sound white. That’s Boots Riley’s film. I don’t want to say what we did because it’s kind of a surprise. I have a series coming to Syfy called Happy! with Chris Meloni. And right now, that’s kind of it. The other stuff is very embryonic and I don’t want to talk about it yet until it’s fully formed. Is directing a film still a goal? Yes. Eventually I will direct films. It will happen. I just don’t know when.

Number of people who work for Cirque du Soleil worldwide. In 1984, Cirque du Soleil, which now has seven productions on the Las Vegas Strip, employed 73 people.
Nevada’s first movie theater was called the Isis. It opened in 1909 on Fremont Street near First Street and offered an hour’s worth of “one-reelers” for 20 cents.
Southern Comfort
Just as the weather begins to change in Las Vegas, so do the menus. And House of Blues Restaurant & Bar at Mandalay Bay has introduced one inspired by made-from-scratch Southern cooking, from appetizers to desserts. Start your experience off with jalapeno cheese cornbread or Nashville hot wings, then move onto sandwiches like the shrimp po’boy or smoked brisket, or salads like the steak salad, featuring grilled skirt steak, roasted root vegetables, arugula, crisy onions and chimichurri sauce. Don’t forget entrées like the blackened salmon, and top the whole meal off with a skillet cookie, topped with a dollop of ice cream. For more information, call 702.632.7607.
Old-School Cool
For a truly old-school Las Vegas experience, visit Oscar’s steakhouse at the Plaza downtown. This holiday season, Plaza is upping the ante, offering discounts and special features. Parties of 10 or more will receive a $150 gift card for use the night of the party or a future event at the Plaza or Oscar’s. In addition, the group will see its name in lights on the Plaza’s jumbo LED screen overlooking Fremont Street. The Plaza can also offer personalized menus, décor in the company’s brand colors and ice carvings. To book an event or for more information, call 702.386.2320.

Even though more than a dozen casinos were built in Nevada during the 1940s and ’50s, the Nevada Gaming Commission, which regulates all gaming activity, wasn’t created until 1959. The Beatles’ incredible success in American in 1964 included two appearances at the Las Vegas Convention Center. When the MGM Grand opened in 1993, it originally had a 33-acre theme park attached, complete with rides and attractions. The park was closed in 2002. Cirque du Soleil’s “O” at Bellagio is one of the most ambitious production shows on the Las Vegas Strip, featuring a 25-foot-deep pool containing 1.5 million gallons of water.
One question
Ryan Kelsey of ‘Chippendales’ What personal challenge taught you the toughest life lesson? The personal challenge I’ve grown the most from, onstage and off, was getting fired from my first couple of performing jobs. I grew up in a dance studio with my mom as one of the head teachers, so I was treated a bit like the golden child. Male dancers, being in such limited quality, are always treated much better and have significantly more leeway than the girls in what they can get away with at most dance schools. At ages 17 and 18, I walked in acting like a hotshot, thinking I had already “arrived” and I could just breeze my way past these professionals. I was humbled quickly because of my approach to the workplace. Getting dropped a couple times taught me the importance of daily hard work—to show up professionally, ready to go every day, always stay hungry and strive to be a better version of myself. The next job I auditioned for, I was told by the choreographer that they wanted to hire me, but I had a bad reputation and I was going to need to make changes in my work ethic and attitude to get hired. I decided then and there that I would never put myself in that situation again. In the 15 years since, I’ve kept that promise to myself. Chippendales The Show is at the Rio. Shows are 8:30 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 8:30 & 10:30 p.m. Fri.-Sat. Call 702.777.2782 for tickets.

Comedy With Edge In the MTV-era ‘90s, there were few performers who changed the format of comedy quite like Tom Green, a Canadian-born prankster who practically created the reality television format we enjoy today with The Tom Green Show. His then-revolutionary videos, in which he delighted in pushing the boundaries of good taste—and his subjects’

patience—were the logical lead-in to the Jackass era (and yes, in the YouTube era, Green’s videos now look absolutely tame). Green has also enjoyed success as a stand-up comedian, and he’s bringing his stand-up to the Back Room at Bally’s. In addition to Green’s singular brand of comedy (awkward but hilarious pauses and gags
that start small and slowly build up a head of steam until Green explodes in a rage-filled rant), his Las Vegas show offers a reason to go every night: He has literally thousands of videos at his disposal, and he’ll show different ones every performance. But even if you’ve never seen Green’s TV show, be prepared to laugh—a lot. –Ken Miller

More Than Just Brews Beerhaus is the neon city’s version of a beer hall, but so much more. Inside the spacious, casual space you can nosh on sandwiches, brats and fried pickles while playing one of the many board games available. Or take it outdoors and try your hand at a game of cornhole or shuffleboard. Beer is the way to go here, and the curated menu offers some hard-tofind selections as well as the casual beer drinkers faves. Happy hour is daily from 2-6 p.m., and you can enjoy $4 select draft beer and hot dogs. Grab a group and stop by Beerhaus on Wednesday night for the Geeks Who Drink trivia night from 8-10 p.m. And every Thursday through Sunday, enjoy concerts out on The Park’s plaza in front of the venue; on Friday and Saturday nights the crowd really kicks things up a notch and celebrates late into the night. And on nights when the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team plays at nearby T-Mobile Arena, the “Underdog Special,” a hot dog or brat inspired by the visiting team will be spotlighted at the venue. –Kiko Miyasato The Park, 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Sun.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Fri., 10 a.m.-2 a.m. Sat. 702.692.2337

Apparently It’s Fall
Hiding Magic in Plain Sight Illusionist Mac King is nearly as practiced at the art of sly innuendo that goes over adolescent heads as he is at sleight-of-hand deception. “That’s kind of the thing I fought over the whole 17 years,” said the man behind the Mac King Comedy Magic Show. “Because it’s in the afternoon, the misconception, I think, is that it’s a kids’ show. It’s a show designed for adults, that kids like.” King expertly walks the line of risqué humor without crossing it, keeping more mature audience members laughing while the younger set focuses on trying to figure out how that rope he keeps
snipping with scissors keeps reconstituting itself. It might be the goldfish he pulls from his mouth or the guinea pig that plays a central role in one of his tricks that helps create the impression that his magic is kid-friendly. But he cautions that his show at Harrah’s is not specifically designed that way. “While I really love filthy, dirty, comedy, I didn’t want to put anything in my show that I couldn’t do on TV, in the hopes that someday it would be on TV,” King laughed. –Matt Kelemen Harrah’s, 1 & 3 p.m. Tues.-Sat., $36.95$46.95 plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782
When you let mixologists do their thing and give them the best ingredients, it’s inevitable that deliciousness results. Recently, in Sage at Aria, bartenders from various MGM Resorts venues used Carbonadi vodka in fall-inspired drinks: the Teacher’s Delight with apple-infused Lillet; the Diamond in the Rough with port (Sage’s entry); the Piedmont Tea, with fall spices; and Apparently It’s Fall, with Carbonadi vodka, St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur, apple aquafaba (which provides the foam top), lemon juice and maple syrup. All are available at Sage this fall.
Silent Knight We could describe it as just another night out at the fights. But you’d know we were just jousting. And we don’t even know how to joust. We only know how to josh. In Tournament of Kings, a King Arthurera face-off, you’ll find warriors on horseback—both villainous and virtuous—in epic battles, pretty maidens, javelin-throwers and even a bit of fire-breathing action. During the holiday season, you’ll be treated to a special

Savory Flavors Herringbone makes you feel at home immediately upon entering. The restaurant is an ocean-to-table concept, focusing on the freshest seafood and produce, and welcoming you with light woods and layered textiles. There’s also plenty of outdoor seating and live music. This is an environment you may come to love as much as the food. The restaurant’s ever-changing menu is a garden of delights. From beet carpaccio and soy glazed pork loin to buffalo octopus, salmon and Chilean sea bass, everything here is of the utmost quality and freshness—not such an easy feat for a city in the middle of a desert. Begin with some cold fare such as seasonal oysters or yellowtail sashimi. The chicken wings are laden with toasted garlic and served with a peanut dipping sauce as good as any you’ll find in nearby Chinatown. And the tuna poke is a fusion of poke recipes combining yellowtail tuna with slightly salty shoyu, sweet Maui onions
and macadamia nuts. Arriving with crisp green onion pancakes, the dish could only be more authentically Hawaiian if it were served with a side of Spam. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Beyond the Scales You might not think he stands out in a crowd— just another green, grumpy, scaly creature walking his Chihuahua on the Strip. And yet …“There’s nothing women in Las Vegas love more than a magic dragon,” says John van der Put—Piff the Magic Dragon to you—as Angela Stabile, co-producer of his Flamingo gig, can affirm. “He gets proposals all the time,” she says. Piff clarifies: “It’s the joy I exude.” Anyone who’s seen the dragon-costumed comedian/magician knows his personality is built on a foundation of dour, deadpan ’tude.
At its apex, the 550-foot-tall High Roller observation wheel (The Linq Promenade, 866.328.1888) offers one of the best views on the Strip. Each pod holds up to 40 people and features multiple screens playing videos, music and informational programming.

Two to Chortle To Laughter is the key word when you spend an evening at The Mirage with legendary comics Ray Romano and David Spade, in a double-the-fun kind of adventure. Romano, who became famous when he portrayed Raymond Barone in the comedy series Everybody Loves Raymond, also shone on the small screen in Parenthood and Vinyl. It all began with an open mic night in 1984—who knew that he would end up being one of the best-known entertainers in show business? It also took him away from his previous jobs, which
included being a mattress delivery person and a bank teller. Spade, whose cutting edge stand-up comedy still has fans rolling on the floor, was the darling of TV viewers as a cast member on Saturday Night Live and wowed audiences in Just Shoot Me, as a smart-aleck secretary. That tack serves him well in stand-up, where he turns real life into hilarious comments. –Penny Levin The Mirage, 10 p.m. Dec. 1-2, starting at $79.99 plus tax and fee, 16+ with adult. 702.792.7777
Modern Times At Mr Chow, the journey begins with a short trip up a private elevator to the completely white room, a stark contrast to the colorful spectacle that awaits. The eponymous Mr Chow Noodles, served with a sweet and spicy minced pork sauce, is a fitting tribute to Chow and his empire. And the jet-black squid ink rice noodles are a worthy rendition of the dish. A signature presentation carved tableside is the Peking duck. Wrap the crispy, fatty waterfowl in paper-thin wheat pancakes with sharp hoisin sauce and crisp cucumber. –Jim Begley Caesars Palace, 5-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 5-10:30 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.731.7888

Ready, Set, Zoom With two experiences, get all kinds of thrills at SlotZilla (vegasexperience.com) at 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

Meals With Muscle
There’s something for everyone at new Strip eatery Though Robert Irvine’s Public House mostly attracts tourists, the celebrity chef’s team reaches out to local Vegas residents and military members, too, (in keeping with Irvine’s commitment to our armed forces). Speaking of the military, poutine, from the appetizer section, is big enough to feed an army. This riff on the Québécois dish replaces French fries with tater tots, giving it a playful feel. Pulled pork is laced throughout thick, dark shitake mushroom and onion gravy. Dollops of peppered goat cheese give the whole thing some kick. You’ll want to include one of Irvine’s pizzas (made with wheat and quickly cooked) in your Public House journey, particularly prosciutto, a sweet, savory, salty, acidic, and peppery interplay

of the Italian cured meat with fig jam, goat cheese, arugula, lemon and Parmesan. Standout entrées include two of Irvine’s signature dishes. The F & K Fondue Burger features a thick Black Angus patty topped with mushrooms, onion, bacon, lettuce and tomato. It rests on a thick brioche bun, which is necessary to soak up the gooey accompanying Camembert fondue. Pour the fondue directly on top of the sandwich and then dig in with f & k (fork and knife.) Fish and chips is presented with a mammoth beer-battered wild Alaskan cod sitting atop french fries doused in malted curry aioli, green onion, bacon and feta. Cut into the fish and scoop it up with the flavorful fries for a complete bite of deliciousness.
Two areas where Public House shines are dessert and drinks. Signature cocktails have a number of top-notch options. The Public House Punch has all types of goodness in its combination of Appleton Estate Reserve Jamaica rum, Lustau brandy, fresh lemon, Angostura, smoked peach and Lustau Amontillado sherry. As for sweets, prepare your tastebuds: Mason jar apple pie is a real winner with the pie presented in the jar, just barely hanging onto the crust; vanilla ice cream would complete most American versions of the sweet, but the addition of five-year aged Grafton English cheddar makes the British play even better than ours. –Jason Harris Tropicana, 11 a.m.-close Mon.-Fri., 10 a.m.close Sat.-Sun. 888.381.8767

Paul Ryu and Mindi Rogers Couple tag teams food pics
It’s Wednesday at noon, “golden hour” for Instagrammers everywhere, and Paul Ryu and Mindi Rogers are in the thick of it. Or rather, they’re taking a break from the thick of it—the picking, editing and posting that makes up so much of Instagram work— to talk about life as a husband and wife social media team. The division of labor usually breaks down thusly: Ryu takes the photos while Rogers holds the food. She pulls noodles from bowls, double fists matcha green teas and pinches tacos, always flashing a glimpse of perfectly polished nails. “It’s super serious in the food world to have a reputable hand that you can use,” says Ryu. “You usually use both,” Rogers laughs. That the pair collaborate on @ryusauce is fitting. Together for nine years (married for one), their relationship is based around food, dinners out on Spring Mountain Road, watching the Food Network, cooking at home where their diet tends toward “meat and leaves,” introducing Rogers to the complexities of Ryu’s native Korean cuisine. Born in South Korea, 42-year-old Ryu moved to the U.S. at age 13 to attend boarding school. A year later, he moved to San Diego, living alone for six months while he waited for an older sister to arrive. “I would call the pizza guy and go, ‘The usual,’” Ryu remembers. “I wasn’t really into food as much before I met Mindi.” Now the couple share not just an Instagram account full of slick foodie photos, but a new business, helping mom and pop restaurants harness the potential of digital marketing and social media to stand out in a city chock full of dining options. Like their photo feed, the company is a team effort. As one client said, what makes them stand out is a sense of hospitality, those manicured hands, offering up an ice cream cone or hamburger, welcoming you to take a bite. –Sarah Feldberg

Lounge offers cool sights and craft cocktails Technology meets style at Vista Cocktail Lounge at Caesars Palace. Guests are treated to some of the world’s most famous skylines displayed on high-tech LCD portals that line the interior walls of the lounge. Each of the four portals each hold a series of smaller, high-resolution LCD screens connected together and designed to look like giant windows, which look out onto such scenes as Dubai at sunset or a light rain falling on the spectacular city of Shanghai. For a special treat, travel to the East Coast during Vista’s Martini Mondays event. The scene changes to the New York City skyline, from twilight into the nighttime, lit up by the sparkling lights of the city … as enchanting as the real thing.

The weekly event features a specialty cocktail menu, a nod to the city’s boroughs. The Brooklyn is an intoxicating mix of Cîroc pineapple, Aperol, lemon juice, simple syrup and lime. There’s also the Staten Island, made with Bacardi 8 Year, simple syrup, La Marca Prosecco and mint leaves. Or try the more indulgent The Bronx, a blend of Godiva white chocolate liqueur, Absolut Vanilia, simple syrup, half and half and chocolate syrup. Best of all, every martini on the featured menu is only $12. Vista also recently introduced a Bar Bites menu, available 5-9 p.m. daily, with dishes created by neighboring Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill. Guests can nosh on mini pub burgers—two 3-ounce burgers with arugula, cheddar cheese
and smoked aioli—or bite into the Hellfire wings with chile beer glaze and blue cheese. In addition to the swanky surroundings— deep-seated club chairs and sofas, gold-colored textiles, dark woods, communal tables for intimate seating, plush drapery—guests can also indulge the sense of taste by trying a cocktail from master mixologists. There are specialty cocktails, like the French 75 with Bombay Sapphire gin, honey, pear and egg whites—or try a classic cocktail like the Aviation with Nolet’s gin, crème de violette and lemon juice. For some group fun, order one of the punch bowls like the Party Down South, mixed with Southern Comfort, pineapple, orange and lime juices, ginger, bitters and club soda. –Kiko Miyasato

Bardot Brasserie continues tradition of Michael Mina excellence
Restaurateur Michael Mina is somewhat of a mogul, with a mini-empire spanning the country from Miami to San Francisco and across the Pacific to Honolulu. Here in Las Vegas, he has a quartet of venues, including the nationally recognized Bardot Brasserie at Aria, where he transports diners to Paris with the help of executive chef

Joshua Smith, under whose watch classics are elevated rather than eschewed. Smith’s attention to detail is notable from the start. Prime steak tartare hinting of salinity is topped with a deep orange egg yolk, drenching the raw meat with a complementary creaminess; a dollop of sauce verte (green sauce) contributes even more color
and flavor, while house-made waffle fries serve as an unorthodox, yet tasty, method of delivery. Equally as delicious, the port wine gelĂŠe layered atop the savory foie gras parfait contributes a sweet contrast to the velvety, buttery liver.

lardons serving peppery greens tossed with a sharp sherry vinaigrette and crunchy bacon lardons delivering hints of smoke—finished with a poached egg, this salad could practically be a delicious breakfast replacement. In the entrées, the heritage chicken rôti (French for roast) delivers a well-seasoned, crispskinned exterior which reveals juicy fowl. A wee bit more carnivorous is the grass-fed New York Strip, lightly seasoned and charred to allow the meat to express itself. Top the cut with buttery Maine lobster to create the ultimate surf and turf, but don’t forget a side of the unforgettable macaroni and cheese. Surprising even veteran diners, the macaroni and mimolette gratiné serves the eponymous pasta standing at attention, as if saluting Smith and his crack staff in what appears to be a showcase in modern ingenuity. Or maybe it’s simply magic. But either way, the dish is

dollop of chartreuse butter atop rather than the traditional garlic butter preparation. Duck wings a l’orange is another modern take, serving smoky, wood-grilled wings with a sharp and creamy blood orange sauce Maltaise, an offspring of the staple hollandaise sauce. In case you’re looking to dine healthy (or at least healthier), then order the frisée aux

a delight to look at, but even better to eat, as creamy béchamel blends with the nutty mimolette, elevating the staple. If you have room, a comically oversized chocolate macaron is fun dessert to share, while the sweet apple tarte tatin is more modest. But don’t finish your evening without exploring the recently introduced chartreuse cart, serving the storied French liqueur tableside. Made by Carthusian monks since 1737, the fragrant digestif is aged with a multitude of herbs, plants and flowers, delivering complex herbal notes. Bardot’s selection of green and yellow varieties—the green is higher proof and more alcohol forward—includes rarities dating back to the late ’60s. As if Smith’s cuisine weren’t enough to coerce you into a visit, you can partake of liquor older than you. And doesn’t that intrigue you?

Andrew Tau
Bartender climbs to the top of the game Andrew Tau went from living out of his car to working behind the bar at one of the Strip’s most upscale, fine-dining establishments. But it’s not the rags-to-riches story you might think. Tau chose to live out of his car for two years while he rock climbed all over the U.S. and Canada (he did the same thing in Europe for three months). “I thought I’d do it forever,” said the Raleigh, N.C., native. However, a move to Las Vegas began his career in bartending—something he didn’t plan on doing except to earn extra money. But he found that he had a natural talent for creating cocktails, and developed a passion for the industry, eventually working his way up the ranks in Vegas hot spots like Minus 5 Ice Bar,

RM Seafood and Veranda. And, for the past two years he’s been in his current position as lead bartender at Picasso at Bellagio. “Funny enough, friends took me here one night years ago. I looked around and thought, ‘This is the type of bar I want to work at one day.’ I appreciated the quality of the craftsmanship that went into each cocktail here,” he said. Tau has been responsible for crafting and aging some of Picasso’s most-celebrated cocktails—he’s also grown the whiskey menu from 35 labels to roughly 170. “Having curated the cocktails and whiskey list, I love being able to introduce guests to new things,” he said. “I value the service component of bartending—giving guests a unique experience.” –Kiko Miyasato
A huge collection of Pablo Picasso’s art lives on the walls of the restaurant. The sight of them alone could be reason enough to visit the restaurant. But Tau’s cocktails are equally an attraction, and it was Picasso’s works that inspired Tau’s creation of the specialty cocktail, The Blue Period. The cocktail starts with Plymouth gin that’s been infused with peeled cucumber, fresh basil and Kaffir lime leaves; it’s then mixed with fresh lime juice, simple syrup and club soda, all served over ice and garnished with cucumber slices and violas, adding that hint of blue-purple. –KM

Musical Puzzles Start with “Que Sera.” The dense track has so many layers, but it feels so smooth. Wax Tailor, 42, released it in 2004, and the samples include “Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)” by Doris Day from 1956 and that damn street-nasty beat of Galt MacDermot’s “And He Will Not Come Again” from 2000.
Every Wax Tailor song makes you dig deeper. It’s a fun musical puzzle to put together. Tailor, aka Jean-Christophe Le Saoût, is a French producer and DJ who performs triphop at a high level. Check out “The Way We Lived” for more evidence—the sultry vocals of Sharon Jones played against the swinging,
jazzy back beats and the sharp strings, and just when you think you get it, a keyboard solo full of funk. It’s like a James Bond theme song on acid. Expect all this and more at his upcoming show, including solo songs and songs with guests. Each promises to be special. –Jason Harris

Forget about the two gold albums and the 21 singles that landed on the charts. Forget, too, about worldwide record sales in excess of 20 million. The most remarkable accomplishment for American rock band The Grass Roots is the fact it has maintained a loyal following despite not releasing new material since 1982 and despite undergoing more makeovers than a department store cosmetics counter. Bassist, vocalist, songwriter, producer and leader Rob Grill, who joined in 1967, passed away in July 2011. Before his passing, though, Grill assembled a lineup intended to keep the music of The Grass Roots alive for years to come. That lineup—bassist Mark Dawson, drummer Joe Dougherty, guitarist Dusty Hanvey and keyboardist Larry Nelson—continues to delight fans with such hits as “Midnight Confessions” and “Let’s Live for Today.” –Matt Jacob Golden Nugget, 8 p.m. Dec. 1, starting at $20.71 plus tax and fee. 866.946.5336

Straddling Two Worlds Conga player and bandleader Poncho Sanchez has straddled the worlds of Latin music and jazz for his entire career, thanks to spending his formative years (in Texas and California) listening to both styles of music. When Sanchez released his 25th album in 2011, he titled it Chano Y Dizzy!, in tribute to the two musicians who most strongly shaped his musical style: Latin conga player Chano Pozo and legendary jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. With a career dating back to the mid-1970s, Sanchez is a bit of a legend himself, one of the most acclaimed and successful artists in the world of Latin music. Over the years, Sanchez has collaborated with a range of artists, including Ray Charles, Tower of Power, Booker T. Jones and jazz titans like Arturo Sandoval and Maceo Parker. Thanks to his diverse talents, Sanchez can effortlessly work with musicians from R&B, funk, soul, Latin and jazz backgrounds, incorporating their sounds into his music, and his sounds into theirs. “To me, Latin jazz is the world’s greatest
music,” Sanchez declares on his website. “It has the melodic and harmonic sophistication of jazz and American standards, and the flavor and energy of Latin American music.” –Josh Bell

The hip-hop collective Odd Future has been mostly inactive for a few years now, but its members (including rapper Tyler, the Creator, award-winning singer-songwriter Frank Ocean and rapper-producer Earl Sweatshirt) have become some of the most popular and influential performers in hip-hop, R&B and pop. The latest Odd Future breakout is singer Syd, who made appearances on multiple Odd Future releases while also splitting her time as the lead vocalist for neo-soul band The Internet, who’ve put out three albums since 2011. That’s a lot of activity for the 25-year-old performer, and that’s before even getting to Syd’s solo work. Her debut album Fin came out earlier this year, with a poppier approach than her work with Odd Future and The Internet, led by the single “All About Me.” And in September she put out the EP Always Never Home, which lends its name to her current tour. As much as Odd Future and The Internet have been at the cutting edge of hip-hop and R&B, Syd is just as likely to cite classic pop/R&B stars like Aaliyah and Brandy as influences. She’s made a good start toward ascending to the same level. –JB

From a Sammy Davis Jr. project to his hit Strip show, Lionel Richie follows his passion By brock radke

Lionel Richie is embarking on a project that is sure to strengthen his Las Vegas connections. After years of legal disputes with the estate of Sammy Davis Jr., a team of producers including Richie has finally received the green light to develop a film based on Davis’ extraordinary life and career in entertainment. The 1965 memoir Yes I Can is slated to be the foundation for the movie, which is likely to detail Davis’ years as a Vegas headliner, including the immortal Rat Pack years and his earlier, essential role in the success of the Moulin Rouge hotel and casino, the historic West Las Vegas destination that sparked the end of segregation on the Strip. “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. After his All the Hits, All Night Long tour wrapped in 2015—after more than 125 shows—the former frontman of the Commodores launched his All the Hits residency at the Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort in April 2016. He’s back on the Strip this month extending into December with what has become one of the theater’s most popular productions. In fact, his show opened during what may have been one of the most incredible concert weekends in Las Vegas history, coming close to capacity while competing with Elton John, Billy Joel and Rihanna at other Strip venues. That’s because Richie truly has all the hits. He knows his audience has multiple memories tied to each legendary track, and he knows how to fire up those emotional connections. “Stuck on You,” the fourth single from 1984’s epic Can’t Slow Down album, shows the Alabama-raised performer’s twangier side, and while the song originally challenged perceptions of Richie as strictly a soul and funk man, it maintains a timeless quality that keeps captivating crowds. Earlier ballad “Truly,” one of his first solo hits, is just as powerful in performance today as it was 35 years ago. Richie’s slower tunes are among the best-loved love songs of all time; think “Endless Love,” “Hello,” “Penny Lover” and “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 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” and “Dancing on the Ceiling,” then pushes the idea of an arena-wide singalong to the next level with anthemic hits “Say You, Say Me,” and the classic “Easy (Like Sunday Morning).” 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.

Reba, Brooks & Dunn bring the hits—and the fun—to Las Vegas The path to Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn’s Las Vegas residency dates back to the ’90s when the queen of country music and the “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” duo merged their resources for the first of four successful tours during that decade. The collaboration extended into the recording studio and eventually to Caesars Palace after the acts were invited to appear together in the Colosseum for what would become Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas, which debuted in June 2015. Now the residency has been extended through August 2018 with no chatter of a final engagement. The residency finds McEntire clearly having fun with Brooks & Dunn. Previous Colosseum shows have kicked off with all three performers onstage for Brooks & Dunn’s “Play Something Country” before alternating stage time. McEntire backs Brooks & Dunn for some songs and vice-versa until they join up again for the finale. Along the way they mine their respective extensive catalogs, with Ronnie Dunn providing lead vocals on hits from “Brand New Man” to “Only in America” as Kix Brooks riles up the crowd with his showmanship. McEntire dazzles in designer fashions while belting out chart toppers ranging from “Whoever’s in New England” to hit covers such as “Fancy,” which has inspired a musical currently in development for Broadway. McEntire’s own run there as the lead in Annie Get Your Gun may be one of the factors that make her feel right at home in the midst of a spectacle on the scale of Together in Vegas. Her effervescence and stage presence easily reach every corner of the 4,100-seat Colosseum. She definitely will be trading off lead vocals with Dunn on “If You See Him/If You See Her,” the 1998 hit recorded after Brooks & Dunn toured with McEntire the previous year. Fans will likely hear their latest duet, “Still Feels Like Mexico,” from Dunn’s 2016 solo album Tattooed Heart, at upcoming shows, as well as “Cowgirls Don’t Cry,” originally recorded for Brooks & Dunn’s “Cowboy Town” but re-released with McEntire’s accompaniment in 2009. The duo have been including “Red Dirt Road,” “Neon Moon” and “Believe,” while McEntire has been delivering hits such as “Why Haven’t I Heard from You,” “Just Like Them Horses” and “Is There Life Out There.” The residency means less touring and travel time for the country stars, allowing McEntire more time for her film, TV and lifestyle branding endeavors as well as her online MasterClass course on country music she offers on her website. Dunn now records for Big Machine Records, which counts McEntire on its roster, while Brooks is currently heard weekly as the host of radio’s American Country Countdown. With no mention so far that the 2018 Caesars Palace dates could be the last, McEntire and Brooks & Dunn could be Together in Vegas for some time to come.

First, there’s a jungle to explore. The air turns humid once inside the entrance to Shark Reef, just beyond Mandalay Bay’s restaurant promenade and South Convention Center. It’s a climate change that makes things more comfortable for the golden crocodile and Komodo dragon that are the first exhibit subjects to greet guests. Shark Reef’s croc, like his dragon neighbor, is native to the Indo-Pacific region and can grow up to 20 feet long. This one falls short of 20 feet, but its occasional shyness about showing its tail may hamper efforts to accurately estimate its length. Rest assured, if the crocodile had its chance and was hungry enough it would be more than happy to demonstrate its “drowning-and-dining” technique. Shark Reef provides a profile of its “perfect predator”—as it does with many of the species on display—describing in brief detail

the power and purposes of the crocodile’s jaws. The Komodo dragon’s enormous appetite is served by a venomous bite that slowly kills deer, goats, wild boar and “smaller Komodo dragons” that escape immediate death by “razor-sharp claws and dagger-like teeth.” This one is cute, but will likely never get a residency in the touch pool. A Burmese python and piranha can also be found among the hanging gardens of the jungle zone before the path leads to the temple area, where
the touch pool is located. First are the aquarium views, windows into a world populated by a diverse array of South American species, including tree-planting pacu, jumping arapaima, razorback catfish and motoro stingrays.

to lean over the touch pool and reach out to the horseshoe crabs, rays and a pair of young shovelnose guitarfish “with one finger, except for the eyes and tails.” The newly arrived shovelnose guitarfish are the newest and most active members of the touch pool family, and will eventually transfer into the main 1.3-million-gallon tank that holds an array of shark species. Most of the residents are permanent and don’t seem to mind the attention as much as occupants of surrounding and adjacent tanks would. A giant Pacific octopus has a tribe of starfish for roommates in a space reserved for invertebrates, and a male green sea turtle can be found hanging about. Rescued in the Florida Keys by the crew of a boat called Ocean Diver, the turtle was found to have a collapsed lung and was outfitted with special weights that allow him to submerge underwater. No longer able to survive on his own in the ocean, “OD” is now a permanent shelled citizen of Shark Reef. Interactive touch screens can give deeper details about the curated creatures, including the various species of shark that are the main attraction. Blacktip reef and grey reef sharks, Galapagos and Port Jackson sharks, sandbar and sand tiger sharks, blacktip reef and whitetip reef sharks, and whitespotted bamboo sharks and nurse sharks have all been counted among the population of Mandalay Bay’s dorsal-finned denizens. Trying to discern which shark belongs to which species becomes secondary to viewing them from an aquarium area designed to resemble a shipwreck. The Wreck provides the widest vistas of the main aquarium and the closest encounters with the sharks. It’s also the home of a few adult bowmouth

guitar fish, which swim right up to the glass to exchange bemused expressions with the homo sapiens on the dry side. Feedings occur after noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but for a more interactive experience, a Shark Feed program is offered. Guests get a behindthe-scenes tour and serve lunch to zebra sharks with tongs before getting a demonstration of how larger species are fed by experts. Guests can also sign up to feed stingrays and sea turtles, but if feeding sharks with tongs doesn’t provide enough of a thrill for visiting certified divers, they can always suit up and jump right in the water. Dive with Sharks is a four-hour experience featuring a tour, education and 45 minutes of submerged adrenaline. The dives change day-to-day based on the sharks’ needs, so each one is different. They never need to dine on divers though, so safety is assured. The latest addition to Shark Reef Aquarium is Polar Journey, a sight-and-sound experience that starts out with an introductory film on an overhead dome. A wall projection allows children to feed virtual krill to underwater mammals, a pathway allows guests to walk over ice sheets that crack beneath their feet, sound-equipped chairs are programmed with the sounds of polar animals, and a motion-ride “Sea Explorer” hits both the Arctic and the Antarctic for visits with harp seals, polar bears and penguins. You don’t need a parka to explore the colder regions of Polar Journey, or a wetsuit to encounter the creatures of Shark Reef. A willingness to explore, however, is mandatory.

Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. is a completely immersive experience By MATT KELEMEN
WHEN THE AVENGERS FIRST ASSEMBLED IN THE 1963 DEBUT ISSUE OF THEIR EPONYMOUS COMIC BOOK, there was no way creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby could have known they were launching a legacy that would expand into animation, countless spinoffs, a movie franchise and, finally, a Scientific Training and Intelligence Operative Tactical Network located in Las Vegas. Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. opened at Treasure Island last May, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in all things 64 11.26.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
Avengers while training to become agents of S.T.A.T.I.O.N. For Marvel Comics fans, it’s an attraction whose time has come. Most of the original Avengers comic lineup are represented in their Marvel Cinematic Universe form, with Captain America’s exhibit coming first on the walking tour. The evolution of 4F World War II enlistee Steve Rogers into a red, white and blue superhero, thanks to an experimental serum, is related with illuminated displays that look designed for a movie set. Interactive features allow agent trainees
to gauge coordination and grip strength. An app available as a mobile download or handheld S.T.A.T.I.O.N. device continues to provide audio narration as the Captain America room leads to Bruce Banner’s laboratory, where the Hulk’s brain can be examined via video monitors and compared to Banner’s pretransformation brain. Some costumes are assembled together in display rooms (Black Widow, Hawkeye), while others have entire rooms dedicated to their legacy. Thor’s hammer is mounted in a large Bottom center photo by Tomek Pleskaczynski

room, surrounded by a semicircle of floor-toceiling displays dedicated to the god from Asgard, where guests can vainly attempt to wield it with their mortal strength. The Iron Man room has multiple Stark Industries-designed suits on display, including a primitive prototype and gargantuan Hulkbuster. The Vision’s birth cradle and wormhole-generating Tesseract are represented in all their sci-fi wonder. Both science and fiction are well represented in general. There’s a lot of reading that can be done, with the S.T.A.T.I.O.N. itself serving as All other photos by Christopher DeVargas
an educational primer for all things Avengers. Novices can be schooled on the backgrounds of many main characters and plot elements while more advanced trainees can expand on their knowledge base with esoteric information. Einstein’s influence on the fictional space portals of Asgard is explained, and Iron Man Neural Interface Training enables guests to experience flight and fight simulation through the power of their own eyesight. The interactive aspects of Marvels Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. reach a climax at the end of the
training, with visitors taking on the powers of one of six Avengers to fight super-villain Ultra as a team. More interaction awaits in the 7,500-foot retail section, where action figures, apparel and other assorted collectibles are for sale. It’s a good 60-to-90-minute experience depending on how much interaction and information one can handle in one visit, but for fans of Marvel’s most venerable superhero team it’s a rare chance to be fully immersed in a universe that once only existed in comic books and imaginations.

Funny and Fiery Name a controversial subject and chances are excellent that comedian Eddie Griffin (Rio, 702.777.2782) will discuss it during his stand-up comedy act. Be prepared to listen to side-splitting, irreverent and shocking dialogue that touches religion, the Bible, politics, sex, celebrities, racism and, oh, just about anything that could offend someone. But this uncensored routine is thoroughly embraced by fans of this funnyman, who starred in the popular television sitcom Malcolm & Eddie and had roles in movies like Scary Movie 3, Double Take, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and Undercover Brother. For a comic who didn’t know what it meant to be working “blue” in the comedy field, he has now perfected this genre, and you’ll hear him express opinions that many of us may think but wouldn’t verbalize. Griffin is here to entertain, and that he does. Laughing is good for the soul, and there’s plenty of that. There may even be pithy comments from Griffin about the soul and what we all tend to believe in. –Penny Levin

Heightened Senses At Blackout Dining in the Dark (3872 S. Valley View, Suite 8. 702.960.4000), you can pretty much forget about that old adage that you eat with your eyes. Here, your entire meal is served without light. You’ll choose the general direction of your meal sweet, savory or spicy. You can choose vegetarian, too. Your waiter, outfitted with night-vision goggles, guides you through a light-proof entry into the dining room and to your table. Being in the dark may initially be jarring, even disorienting, but once you work through the first few minutes—and begin conversing with your tablemate and joking and laughing about how strange the experience is—it actually becomes quite enjoyable. You’ll get anywhere from four to six courses depending on time of day, and they are gourmet offerings. As each one comes out, your waiter will give you a few clues to what’s on your plate, and it’s up to you to figure it out. –Ken Miller

All-American Meal Whenever you’re downtown, you may find yourself working up an appetite, and if you want a little live music along with your food, head to Freedom Beat (Downtown Grand, 702.953.4343). An appetizer that has a true American feel is the chicken-fried bacon, which takes a traditional fried chicken dredge and applies it to hunks of pork belly, then dips them in oil for a quick fry. From the sandwich section, you’ll want to try the double grilled mac and cheese. It might not sound like it makes sense, but the roasted chili mac is finished on the flattop, giving it an excellent, cheesy crust that sticks to the sourdough bread. It gives the diner both the gratification of a good gooey mac, and a hot sandwich at the same time. But if a family-style meal appeals, the herb-marinated grilled chicken is packed with flavor both from the grill and the toasted pistachio pesto that tops it. A bed of delicious charred veggies sits beneath the fowl. Finish things off with perhaps the most American of all dishes, skillet apple pie. –Jason Harris

Serenity Now Although the Spa Bellagio’s (702.693.7472) entrance may be nondescript (it’s located in the spa’s retail store, with an elevator ride up to the second floor), the environment you enter is truly luxurious. The intimate reception area welcomes guests, who may be unprepared for the expansive, 65,000 square feet of spa space. Men’s and women’s facilities are on opposite ends—although there are co-ed relaxation spaces and balconies that overlook Bellagio’s well-manicured pools. Start with a dip in a plunge pool—the temperatures vary, allowing for a cool refresh or a long unwind of tense muscles; afterward, clear your pores inside the eucalyptus steam room. The running design theme throughout the spa channels nature—blue and green tones and wood mixed with floral and foliage. The sounds of running water permeate the air. Inside the coed tranquility room, all these are pulled together. The dimly lit room, with color-changing lighting, allows guests to relax on oversize lounge chairs, daybeds or yoga mats. –Kiko Miyasato
