Amy Saunders

The host of the Bally’s show talks about bringing chaos to Las Vegas Amy Saunders brought her Miss Behave “personage” front and center stage after several years of being the backbone of neo-cabaret shows.

The Londoner opened her raucous, anarchic Miss Behave Gameshow in Las Vegas this July and has been winning over audiences with her participation-based, phone-friendly competition ever since. Saunders recently chatted with Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen.

There aren’t many Vegas entertainers with their own Wikipedia page.

It needs a hell of an update. I think it was put together by someone who liked me during my street performing days. It’s lovely to have one. It’s one of the areas I’m still quite confused about, how one gets it up to speed, but, yes, it’s nice to have one. (Laughs) It says you’re “mostly known as a sword swallower.” I never looked at Miss Behave that way.

I was known for that between 2004 and 2011. I was part of the putting together of, and then performing with, a variety show named La Clique. It sort of started in Edinburgh (Fringe Festival), was run by Australians and turned into Le Soirée down the line, and actually was Absinthe’s first incarnation in New York. I was traveling around the world with a group of brilliant performers, playing lots of fabulous places. … I think I became known as a scary clown, strange clown. Not too fun exactly, but I was sort of the red line (Saunders wore a red outfit) that held everything together.

Where does Amy Saunders end and the persona of Miss Behave begin?

It’s a persona, but it’s more personage. There’s a lot of me in

22 12.3.17 LasVegasMagazine.com

it, so it’s definitely, for want of a better word, my clown, but I’m not a performer that needs to be “on” 24/7. When I’m finished, I don’t then need to be the loudest person in the room. I quite like being in the role of the observers.

I like hats that cover my face.

There’s definitely a switchoff point. I don’t need to be a massive personality wherever I go, but when I’m onstage I am a massive personality.

It’s hard to explain the show to people in an elevator pitch, but when they go they seem to get it. The first travel site I looked up had 63 Miss Behave reviews and every one rated it “excellent.” How do you approach winning over audiences?

People will do what they want, and they will do so much more if they understand that they can do what they want. What happened as a result of doing these smaller crowds in a big room is it became far more conversational. The audience becomes far more funny, more logical, coming up with ideas and thinking outside the box.

Marawa the Amazing brings a vivacious energy to the production. Her hula hoop act is not integral to the game but it seems integral to the show.

You have to put on an act that

works within the context. Marawa works perfectly because she’s funny. She’s doing skill, but it’s not just about the skill, it’s about the personality and how she presents it. … But they serve as a break

for the audience, because the audience does work pretty hard in the show. They get to sit back and watch and enjoy, and then it’s my job to make sure the acts that come in will fit well in that show.

No, it’s not visible from space, but the beam of light emanating from Luxor is the strongest beam of light on the planet—42.3 billion candela, visible up to 275 miles away by aircraft.

Rally ’Round the Flag

For a chance to enjoy a great meal and help a worthy cause, head to off-strip restaurant Bandito Latin Kitchen & Cantina for Chefs for Flags. The Dec. 5 dinner features the cuisine of chef John Courtney of Carson Kitchen: chips, salsa and guacamole, fried octopus, a trio of tacos (lamb, vegetables, pork) served with shaved Mexican street corn, and churro bread pudding with rum cajeta.

The dinner begins at 7 p.m. and costs $50 per person; $40 of every ticket benefits the Clark County Fire Department Honor Guard’s fundraising efforts for a new 30-foot American flag. For more information, call 702.857.7550.

A Perfect 10

Carnevino Italian Steakhouse at The Palazzo celebrates its 10th anniversary this month, and to help celebrate, owner Mario Batali has assembled an all-star culinary lineup for A Decade of Deliciousness: Mario and Friends Celebrate Carnevino on Dec. 9. The lineup includes butcher Dario Cecchini and James Beard winners Paul Kahan, Nancy Silverton and Michael Symon, who also serves as Batali’s cohost on The Chew. The dinner begins at 7 p.m. and tickets are $380 per person (includes wine pairings, tax and gratuity), but don’t wait: Seating is very limited. For more information, call 702.789.4141.

There’s just something about Nevada that makes people want to get married—our state marriage rate is eight times the national average, and Clark County has performed more than 2.5 million marriages since 1970.

Nevada has a pretty good track record in presidential elections, voting for the winner in every race since 1912—except two.

In 1976, Nevada voted for Gerald Ford. In 2016, Nevada voted for Hillary Clinton.

How rich and powerful was Howard Hughes? While staying at the Desert Inn in 1966, he was asked to vacate because of the influx of New Year’s Eve guests.

His response: He bought the hotel.

It’s the Season

Holiday shows sure to please Las Vegas entertainers have a lot to give during this season. If it’s a holiday-themed show that you’re raring to see, it’s here!

Check out some of the holiday fun: In Terry Fator’s A Very Terry Christmas (The Mirage, 702.792.7777), the ventriloquist and his puppets come together through Dec. 25 for a show that emulates holiday TV specials. Winston, the Impersonating Turtle, Emma Taylor, Duggie Scott Walker and Fator pull out “Winter Wonderland” and “White Christmas.” Fator might also explain a new holiday, “Juana.” Hey, in Vegas, that’s celebrated all year long.

From Dec. 4-30, comedy-magician Piff the Magic Dragon and his sidekick, Mr. Piffles, presents the Piffmas PiffTacular Piffmas at Piffany’s (Flamingo, 702.733.3333), a holiday-themed show that pits contestants against each other; Piff will also help raise funds for Feeding America with the Sale of a Sandwich.

Also at Flamingo, Legends in Concert (702.777.2782) decks the halls with celebrity impersonations and holiday classics.

Local choirs and performing arts groups join the show each night through Dec. 30.

Human Nature, the Australian quartet that performs in Jukebox (The Venetian.

702.414.9000) adds harmony to the season with a special show, Juke Joint. You’ll enjoy “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” and “Winter Wonderland,” as well as Jukebox staples, Dec. 5-9 and 19-23.

And the Bronx Wanderers (Bally’s, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster) have caught the spirit, too. Vince Adinolfi and his sons transform their musical show with songs like “Jingle Bell Rock and” “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” –Nina King

social commentary, ribbing those who text and drive and making fun of the incompatibility between minds and machines. But most importantly, they help us realize that once you accept your own awkwardness, you could have the time of your life. –Alex Haase

Classic and Delicious BLT Steak is known the world over, and for good reason: It never disappoints. No matter where you find one, you’ll have a memorable experience, and nowhere is that more true than the Vegas outpost. The amazing Gruyère popovers, served with sea salt and butter, are almost good enough to make you want to skip the rest of the meal. Almost. Other starters include a delectable tuna tartare, served with avocado and soy-lime dressing, and the smoky/salty double-cut smoked Neuske bacon.

Steak options range from New York strip to porterhouse, and it’s recommended you order a sauce like peppercorn or Béarnaise. If steak is not your thing, BLT offers plenty of fine alternatives, such as the ultra-juicy lemon-rosemary chicken. There’s plenty for seafood lovers as well, including Dover sole, branzino or Maine lobster. Desserts include banana cream pie, which uses huge chunks of banana and gets a hearty drizzling of caramel sauce, while the crepe soufflé with passion fruit sauce has a lighter-than-air texture and plenty of fruity zing. –Ken Miller

... It’s Complicated Perfect Illusion Call him a freak. Dude doesn’t mind. Really.

When your show is titled CRISS ANGEL Mindfreak Live!, you can’t mind the “freak” label, can ya? Besides, it’s all by design.

“For me, it was about creating a journey, the magic of emotion that would connect people and take them on a roller coaster ride,” Angel said. “Some of it would be scary, some of it creepy, some of it funny, might even make you shed a tear, but I wanted to give people tons of revolutionary magic.”

Highlights of the production, all to the accompaniment of a rocking live band, include sawing a woman in half (but declining to reassemble her), disappearing (and reappearing in the crowd), and a levitation stunt in which the goth-glossed performer levitates above a ladder, across the stage and inside a metal sphere. It’s positively “freak”-ish. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Luxor, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Wed.-Sun., 7 p.m. show only Dec. 3, 8 & 10, starting at $59 plus tax and fee. 702.262.4400

Love times three—plus a song-and-dance explosion—equals Baz–A Musical Mash-up, a party for every one of your senses. And perhaps a few you didn’t know you had. Baz throws a trio of signature Baz Luhrmann films with themes of quixotic lovers—The Great Gatsby (Daisy and Jay), Moulin Rouge! (the writer and the courtesan) and Romeo + Juliet (them)—into a tuneful, dance-tastic blender for a whirlwind production.

Pinballing between the tales, the show unleashes a torrent of pop hits from performers with powerful pipes. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff The Palazzo, 7 p.m. Tues.-Sun., starting at $64.31 plus tax and fee. 702.414.9000 BLT Steak photo by Peter Harasty Criss Angel Mindfreak Live! photo by Jerry Metellus Photography, Baz—A Musical Mash-up photo by Erik Kabik/erikkabik.com

Savory Flavors There are certain places that instill a sense of confidence; you just know that your money will be well spent. And the Las Vegas outpost of Ruth’s Chris Steak House at Harrah’s may be the perfect example.

Fresh bread and butter are brought to your table, but you might want to take it easy.

After all, you’ll want plenty of room for appetizers like seared ahi tuna, velvety in texture and rich in flavor. For a dash of color, the crab stack appetizer is just begging to be Instagrammed, a sweet and light combo of lump blue crab, avocado, mango and cucumber.

From meat to fish, you cannot go wrong here: The bone-in filet is well-marbled perfection, and the 40-ounce tomahawk ribeye will have all eyes darting to your table; the stuffed chicken breast is served on the bone, drizzled with lemon butter and filled with a creamy garlic herb cheese sauce; the lamb chops are succulent delights marinated overnight for maximum flavor; and the

Chilean sea bass is served with sweet potato and pineapple hash. What a flavor combination—you’ll be done with this dish before you even realize it. –Ken Miller

Harrah’s, 5-10 p.m. daily, last seating at 9:45 p.m. 702.693.6000

Surreal Journey You’re not dreaming—you’re KÀ-ing. And if you’ve got vertigo, grab your seat-rests as that vertical stage transforms into an enormous tilta-whirl—eventually standing nearly on end—as performers scamper up, down and try to hang on. One of Cirque du Soleil’s most vigorous exercises in athletic mysticism, KÀ was named for the Egyptian idea of ka.

Brought to theatrical life in a massive theater by 80-plus artists—chock-full of acrobats, puppetry and martial arts—KÀ tells the tale of “the coming of age of a young man and a young

woman.” Translation: gravity-defying action as spear-toting warriors track the royal brother and sister, who wind up separated. They encounter sea creatures and experience the Wheel of Death. Bottom line: KÀ is a feast for the senses that plays with your spatial perceptions, creating the illusion of a deep abyss with a stage of giant revolving platforms. So hang on—you’re not dreaming. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff MGM Grand, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Sat.-Wed., 7 p.m. show only Dec. 4, starting at $69 plus tax and fee. 702.531.3826

Bobby Style Celebrity chef Bobby Flay has opened some of the world’s premier restaurants, but he also has a fun side, which he displays time and time again at Bobby’s Burger Palace at Crystals. In addition to a selection of wonderful burgers, there’s a “secret menu,” which includes the Bobby Style: a patty cooked medium and smothered with double American cheese, coleslaw, pickled jalapeños, potato chips and chipotle ketchup. Try Flay’s favorite burger while feeling like a real Vegas insider.

Pool Season We’ve flipped the calendar to December and shaken the cobwebs off our wool coats—clear signs that pool season in Las Vegas is a distant memory … or is it? This week, pool season returns exclusively to Mandalay Bay, site of the 24th annual Mosconi Cup. Now, before you grab your shades and slather on the sunscreen, we should clarify that the pool to which we’re referring involves a piece of rectangular green felt, not a manmade body of water.

Named in honor of late billiards legend Willie Mosconi, the Mosconi Cup is a four-day pool tournament pitting America’s top nineball players against their counterparts from Europe. Employing a format similar to golf’s Ryder Cup, the two five-man teams square off in a series of singles and doubles matches, with the winner earning bragging rights for roughly an entire hemisphere.

If you want to see billiards played at an exceptionally high and intense level—or, you

know, the complete opposite of every game you’ve ever played at the corner bar on a Saturday night—grab a ticket and root, root, root for your home team. –Matt Jacob

Mandalay Bay, 11 a.m. Dec. 4-7, starting at $48 plus tax and fee.

A Little Lighter Penn & Teller have been performing their patented brand of magic and comedy for four decades, continuously updating their material throughout their reign at the Rio. It’s been historically consistent in its slightly dark and cynical tone, but the atmosphere feels different at current shows. Along with Penn shedding more than 100 pounds and several feet of hair, the mood of the show feels a little lighter, maybe even … family friendly.

For example, children of all ages are invited onstage for a bit that involves a pygmy elephant—or at least a close approximation of one.

The guided tour at Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum (600 E. Charleston Blvd.

702.444.0744) is both curious and terrifying.

Feast your eyes on items from Bagans’ collection—the museum houses some of the mosthaunted objects in the world, like the Dybbuk Box.

“This show has a slightly different feel from previous shows, and the sense that I have is that it’s a little more sort of totally inclusive of everybody,” says Teller. “Everybody gets to participate in the ‘Love Ritual’ card trick, and then right after that we invite everyone onstage and surround our African spotted pygmy elephant Elsie before she disappears. And so there’s a sense towards the end of the show, everyone is really part of the gang.” –Matt Kelemen Rio, 9 p.m. Sat.-Wed., $76.84-$97.02 VIP plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782

For romance and total ambience, it’s tough to beat the Eiffel Tower Experience (Paris, 702.946.7000). Rising up 460 feet from the Las Vegas Strip, it provides one of the most spectacular views of Las Vegas around. For added romance, go there at twilight.

Soul Patrol is Back Singer, songwriter and musician Taylor Hicks knows it wasn’t just his enormous talent that made him recognizable and ultimately the winner of season 5 of American Idol; it was also his signature gray hair.

Hicks has publicly said in interviews and appearances that he has been gray since he was 29 and it’s become part of his presence on the entertainment scene.

The talented artist has a special affinity with Las Vegas, as he auditioned here for the chance to appear and compete on the popular reality show.

So it was one of the highlights of his career when he had the honor of being the first Idol winner to have his own show on the Las Vegas Strip in 2013. The Alabama native’s career is a success story that has continued for more than 10 years, and once again he is returning to entertain in Las Vegas.

Hicks showcases his multimusical talents during his live performance and usually features a variety of music, including his Idol material, classic Vegas songs, show tunes, soul music and selections from his recent hit albums. –Penny Levin

Prime Dining It almost seems criminal to highlight any one steak at Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak, but the Australian flat iron just begs to be sampled, thinly sliced and served with a lusciously spicy chimichurri glaze. Prime rib lovers will not want to miss Colicchio’s version with horseradish and Yorkshire pudding. Add them all together for a taste sensation that will make you feel like you’re eating prime rib for the first time. And wait until you try Heritage’s duck breast, which is served with duck chorizo. –Ken Miller The Mirage, 5-10 p.m. daily, lounge 2-10 p.m. daily. 702.791.7223

Emily Romero

Making every bite and every mile count Planning a vacation is a personal endeavor, a reflection of an individual’s priorities and passions. Some people gravitate toward luxe hotels with soothing spas; others opt for adventure destinations and thrilling activities. For Emily Romero, the focus of her travels is often food, and to experience the best that a location has to offer, her preparations are rigorous.

“I travel for food,” says the 37-year-old Las Vegas resident, who works in communications for a timeshare company. “I plan a lot of my vacations around where we’re going to be dining during the day.” On a recent trip from Portland to Vancouver, Romero typed out an hour-by-hour itinerary with stops at places like Portland’s Great Notion Brewing and Le Pigeon, a tried-and-true French bistro from James Beard winner Gabriel Rucker. The photos show up on her Instagram feed @eatmelasvegas—a glorious porchetta sandwich from Vancouver’s Meat & Bread, a browniestudded scoop from Salt & Straw in Portland.

The images blend easily with her usual fare, blistered pizzas and spilling strands of chile-flecked noodles from some of Las Vegas’s best eateries. “I will definitely try anything,” says Romero.

“There’s no limitation.”

Romero’s shots of local eats have earned her more than 19,000 followers, who report back on trying new restaurants and dishes based on @eatmelasvegas’s recommendations. “I just love it,” Romero says of hearing someone enjoyed a dish she suggested. “That’s everything.”

At this time of year, the Southern California transplant says she’s always on the lookout for a bowl of posole and homemade tortillas that live up to what her grandmother used to make during the holidays. She hasn’t found it yet, but when she does, you can bet Romero will post it on Instagram. “I just do it because I love it and I love food. I’ll still be here taking photos of my food till I’m a little old lady.” –Sarah Feldberg

Gilley’s

Giddyup!

Find NFR-themed adult fun all around town Along with all the bull-riding action during National Finals Rodeo, Las Vegas likes to kick it up a notch when it comes to celebrating outside the arena, too.

Indulge in a Provence l’orange sparkling brut cocktail, the perfect patio sipper, even if you eschew the basic egg for something lunchier like the classic frisée, poached egg and warm bacon salad, a Maine lobster roll on a brioche bun or trout almondine. On the other hand, the daily special on Saturdays and Sundays are crab cake Benedict and beef bourgignon Benedict, respectively, making brunch nearly impossible to pass on.

Dinner at Mon Ami Gabi is a lesser-recognized treat, but it’s a time for the kitchen to shine in a different way. Start with an appetizer of crispy duck confit with braised cabbage, bacon and gala apple, or a charcuterie and cheese platter to satisfy the whole table. Chilled seafood specialties from oysters to salmon rillettes are available, the perfect lead-in to one of the best and most rich versions of onion soup au gratin on the Strip. Choose one of six sauces and preparations for your steak frites, or opt for the chicken grand-mere with bacon, mushrooms and potato purée. Sea scallops with butternut squash and vadouvan butter is particularly appropriate in this cold season.

The only thing not up for discussion is dessert—at Mon Ami Gabi, it’s a must. The favorite profiteroles will get your attention, filled with vanilla ice cream and covered in chocolate ganache, but look into seasonal specialties so you don’t miss out on something spectacular, like the buttery, blissful apple tarte tatin. It’s so much better than it has to be.

Strawberry Spritz

Renee Lusiani

For the love of bartending Some people aspire to work on the Vegas Strip, some are there by chance and then there’s a small group that are destined to be there—like Rao’s bartender Renee Lusiani. “My mom was a cocktail waitress, and my aunt, my dad was a musician on the Strip, my uncle an entertainment director,” Lusiani said. “I’m a secondgeneration casino worker. It’s in my blood.”

Lusiani’s family moved to Vegas from Oakland, Calif., when she was a little girl. “It was really fascinating growing up here,” she said.

“It was a really small city—tight knit.” Lusiani watched the city grow, especially the Strip, working at properties that have come and gone, like The Thunderbird and Sahara. It was at the Las Vegas Hilton (now Westgate) where she

40 12.3.17 LasVegasMagazine.com

began her bartending career. She moved into management, spending several years running beverage departments at different hotels.

“But eventually I wanted to get back behind the bar,” Lusiani said. And that’s when she landed at Caesars Palace. “I’ve been with Caesars for 25 years now,” said Lusiani, who bartended at various spots all around the property before joining Rao’s as part of the opening team 10 years ago.

“The owners make it great for us; they’re fabulous guys,” she said. “With bartending—there’s so much different interaction, it’s fascinating to me. I’ve been doing this for 32 to 33 years in Las Vegas—it’s a lifestyle and I’ve come to love it. Bartending never gets old.” –Kiko Miyasato

Sitting at Rao’s bar, you might be lucky enough to catch Lusiani in midsong. “Pretty soon I get everyone singing at the bar—everyone will join in,” Lusiani said. That’s just the type of bar she helps run—fun and welcoming.

The cocktails are definitely worth the trip, too.

Lusiani handcrafts some of the best cocktails around, like the Strawberry Spritz. On the menu for some time now, this cocktail continues to be popular in both the summer and winter months.

It’s mixed with Absolut Elyx vodka, Prosecco, muddled strawberries and simple syrup and served over ice. Simple, yes, but so, so delicious. –KM

Every year during the National Finals Rodeo, Las Vegas hosts an informal citywide countrymusic festival, with a variety of country artists performing at venues large and small. The Golden Nugget has established itself as one of the strongholds of NFR week, and this year’s lineup includes some of the biggest stars in country from the ’60s through the ’90s.

In the ’90s, John Michael Montgomery was part of the wave of neo-traditionalist “hat acts” like Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Clint Black, delivering straightforward, listener-friendly country that appealed to longtime genre fans as well as pop listeners. He hit the top of the country charts seven times in his first decade, with singles including “I Love the Way You Love Me,” “I Swear,” “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)” and “The Little Girl.” “I Swear” was a hit twice in the same year, first for Montgomery and then for R&B group All-4-One, proving the versatility of Montgomery’s material. That smooth versatility and accessibility continue to serve him well.

In the 1960s, Brenda Lee was one of the biggest names in early rock and pop, racking up more than 40 chart hits, including the classics “I’m Sorry” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” Lee returned to her country roots in the ’70s, hitting the country charts with songs like “Nobody Wins,” “Sunday Sunrise,” “Tell Me What It’s Like” and “The Cowgirl and the Dandy,” and recording a 1982 album with country legends Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. Since then, Lee has been a staple of the country-music world, and she’s seen a whole generation of younger fans and musicians discover her influential early rockabilly style and sound.

Charlie Daniels has been the embodiment of Southern rock since releasing his signature song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” in 1979, with its story of a young musician defeating the devil in a fiddle battle. It’s been used in countless movies and TV shows and covered by acts ranging from The Muppets and Blues Traveler to Primus, but nothing can compare to the experience of seeing Daniels perform the virtuosic fiddle parts himself. The leader of the Charlie Daniels Band is a versatile singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who’s been recording and touring for nearly 50 years, and he can still fiddle with the best of them.

Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan could easily fill entire shows with their own country hits (Tillis’ “Maybe It Was Memphis” and “Mi Vida Loca”; Morgan’s “Something in Red” and “Except for Monday”), but when the two team up, they take things to a whole other level. The veteran stars launched the first edition of their Grits and Glamour tour in 2009, and since then they’ve been an unstoppable team, recording two albums together (2013’s Dos Divas and last month’s Come See Me and Come Lonely) and enhancing each other’s live performances with harmonies and duets. Together, they’ve taken their music to places beyond what they could ever do on their own.

Vegas stages overflow with country entertainers

By MATT KELEMEN

Wrangler National Finals Rodeo draws nearly as many people to Las Vegas for live performances as it does for

Travis Tritt

championship competition. Highlights of the week include:

(Hard Rock Hotel, Dec. 8-9) Gary Allan is a country-music lifer. Born into a musical family, he started playing honky-tonks at age 13 and discovered the musicians that would shape his initial artistic approach and attitude when he caught the Highwaymen (Cash, Haggard, Jennings, Kristofferson) live. Allan established himself as a new traditionalist with Bakersfield leanings on his 1996 debut Used Heart for Sale, and has maintained a maverick persona throughout his recording career. His latest single “Mess Me Up” was released in May.

(SLS Las Vegas, Dec. 10) Named for the quartet’s North Carolina hometown, Parmalee formed when brothers Matt (lead vocals, guitar) and Scott Thomas (drums) united with cousin Barry Knox (bass) and childhood friend Josh McSwain (guitar). The band survived a 2010 robbery that put Scott Thomas in the hospital, and played a label showcase the next year. Parmalee’s 2013 album Feels Like Carolina yielded the hits “Musta Had a Good

50 12.3.17 LasVegasMagazine.com

Time” and “Carolina.” They’re currently on tour in support of their latest album, 27861.

(Caesars Palace, Dec. 5 & 8-10) Fresh off the news that Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas has been extended through August 2018, Reba McEntire, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn will wrap their 2017 Colosseum dates on the first weekend of NFR. McEntire first joined Brooks & Dunn for the initial run of their Caesars Palace residency in 2015, with Brooks & Dunn reuniting for the first time in five years. The venue has become their Vegas performing home, with a 30-song set.

Parmalee

(MGM Grand, Dec. 7-16) Rodney Carrington and NFR go together like cowboys and hats.

The singing comedian performs in Las Vegas every December for a 10-day stretch, connecting with the audiences that see him each year during their annual rodeo pilgrimage. His latest Netflix

special, Here Comes the Truth, filmed in Tulsa, Ala., was released in October, and reveals a leaner, darker, post-divorce Carrington. The album version debuted at No. 1 on iTunes’ comedy charts, and furthers Carrington’s legacy of delivering raunchy, NFR-worthy standup.

(The Mirage, Dec. 8-9) Ron White loves Las Vegas and the country music community.

The Route 91 Harvest tragedy affected him deeply, so it’s a safe bet the most hard living of the Blue Collar comedians plans to help heal with humor and will likely give some of his most heartfelt performances ever this December. White is one of the few entertainers to perform both weekends of NFR this year. Rest assured, he’s up to the task.

(Westgate Las Vegas, Dec. 8-9) Travis Tritt winning Billboard’s

Top New Male Artist in 1990 signaled a new era in country music and the launch of a nearly three-decade career. His second single, “Help Me Hold On,” earned the Southern rock revivalist his first No. 1 hit that year, and his 1991 album It’s All About to Change made him a permanent fixture in the country superstar firmament. Tritt brings his special solo-acoustic show to Las Vegas during NFR, with stripped-down arrangements of his outlaw sound.

George Strait remains the gold standard for country music purity

the man who would be king declared: “I want to reach the point where people hear my name and immediately think of real country music.”

Since then, that goal has been checked off his bucket list because George Strait, who is widely acknowledged as the “king of country,” and is the genre’s foremost neo-traditionalist, has far exceeded that point.

Should you require statistical backup, well, just tell us when to stop: recorded the most No. 1 songs—61 of them—and top five songs in the history of music of any kind; only artist in any genre to have a top 10 hit every year for 30 years; named top country music artist of the past 25 years in 2010 by Billboard magazine; and as a touring performer, Strait earned Billboard’s Legend of Live accolade in 2013, honoring the concert industry’s most bankable star based on chart and box-office numbers.

Consider those a fraction of Strait’s career distinctions. “If ever there was a natural in country music, it’s Strait,” People magazine wrote, while USA Today observed that he “continues to make such consistent quality look easy.”

All this from a Texas-born dude who first awakened to musical passions as a high school kid by performing in a rock garage band and was weaned on The Beatles. However, you can’t keep a country man down, and Strait’s tastes soon migrated to Nashville legends including Merle HagT-Mobile Arena gard, Lefty Frizzell, George Jones and Hank Williams.

8 p.m. Dec.8-9, starting Oh, and Frank Sinatra—because some influences at $75 plus tax and fee. transcend genre.

888.929.7849 Though his years at Texas State University earned him a degree in agriculture, he jump-started his soonto-be-storied career as lead performer with the Ace in the Hole Band, performing at local bars and honky-tonks.

However, recognition of his talent was slow to come. Several trips to Nashville attracted exactly zero interest from record labels that thought the band’s style of Western swing was unmarketable—a theory whose veracity ranks right up with the one about the world being flat.

Yet in 1981, MCA Records relented, signing Strait for just one song, with the caveat that an album would follow if it was a hit.

That tune, “Unwound,” hit No. 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and his debut album, Strait Country, followed. By decade’s end, Strait had pulled off the stunning feat of recording a whopping 17 No. 1 hits, including five from 1983-’84 alone.

Accolades piled up, and the numbers proved that MCA Records—which remains Strait’s label to this day under the name MCA Nashville Records—took the right bet on the right artist.

Even his relative failures yield success, such as his starring role in the 1992 film Pure Country, which barely dented the box office but featured a Strait soundtrack producing several more hits.

True to his credo, Pure County told the cautionary tale of a country singer who wanders too far from his musical roots—a mistake the man himself has never made. “Traditional country music,” Strait once said, “is something that’s going to be around forever.” You couldn’t get that from a more reliable source.

9 Steaks Some of the best options in town

Growing up in Montana, I saw more than my fair share of rodeos. As exciting as the roping and bucking events were, I found myself more interested in the exploits of the rodeo clowns than anything else—every time they ran into the arena, I covered my face in my hands, worried they would come to serious harm. They never did, and for a very brief period of my life, I considered becoming a rodeo clown. Much like police officer, astronaut and superhero, those dreams kind of fell by the wayside as I grew older, but my appreciation of the athleticism, skill and just pure guts that go into every facet of your average rodeo has never diminished.

Las Vegas is currently in the midst of one of the biggest rodeo events of the year: Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center. Hundreds of thousands of fans have flocked here to enjoy not just the rodeo events, but also the dozens of country-themed musical acts and nonstop entertainment. And of course, they’re looking forward to those “only in Vegas” moments. And that’s where Las Vegas Magazine’s NFR Quick Guide comes in.

Sure, you’re mainly here for the horses, bulls and steers, but once you take a break, check out the following pages. You’ll 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

FILET MIGNON (Center Cut Steakhouse, Flamingo) Center Cut sources cuts from the Aurora Beef Company from the western Chicago suburb of Wayne’s World fame.

Midwestern beef needs no introduction but Aurora Angus ups the ante with DNA traceability so you could learn the lineage of your steak.

Not that you’ll care when it comes to the juicy filet mignon, great with sauteed spinach.

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.

Center Cut

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, Foundation Room and Edge Steakhouse 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 creamy four-cheese potato gratin and luscious roasted mushrooms.

Edge Steakhouse

Stack

7

BONE-IN RIBEYE (Edge Steakhouse, Westgate) When it comes to succulent cuts of meat, Edge Steakhouse at Westgate doesn’t mess around. The bone-in ribeye from A&A Farms is sure to fill you up. Accompanied by herb butter and roasted garlic, it’s packed with flavor and give you that vintage steakhouse feel.

Make sure to pair it with broccolini or roasted mushrooms!

The Steak House at Circus Circus

Andiamo Italian Steakhouse

8

32-ounce Andiamo tomahawk (Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, The D) It was The D owner Derek Stevens who brought Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse to downtown Vegas, and Vicari who tapped butchers Pat LaFrieda and Stockyard Premium to provide the beef. The Andiamo tomahawk is a steal at $79, dryaged for 30 days and “charred to perfection,” as the menu states.

Stack photo by Big French, Center Cut Steakhouse photo by Sabin Orr

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.

Other changes to the production are more subtle. Madonna, for example, has been taken back to 1989 and 1990 with “Express Yourself” and “Vogue,” complete with signature dance moves. “Some changes were for nostalgic reasons,” Marino explained. “We wanted something for the young people as well as the old.” –Ken Miller

Talking Heads The cast of Jeff Dunham’s (Caesars Palace, 866.320.9763) 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 and irreverent, and he is pleased to be that way. And you can’t forget the character of Bubba J, who adds to a memorable evening of fun and laughter.

Culinary Excellence A fury for flavor. That’s the feisty way Gordon Ramsay Steak (Paris, 702.946.4663) was advertised when it opened in 2012. Thanks to his empire of TV shows and even larger collection of restaurants, Ramsay is one of the most recognized culinary figures in the world, never failing to live up to expectations as a passionate kitchen commander.

That’s the fury.

Experience Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris and you’ll get the flavor. The beef is big and boldly satisfying. The side dishes are hearty and flavored powerfully. And the signature Ramsay dishes on the menu, most notably the beef Wellington, are simultaneously rustic and refined. His version of Wellington is only ever perfectly medium rare, with a lovely texture and lots of juiciness, encased in a delicate pastry crust. Rounding out the entrées are fish and chips—with loup de mer and truffle fries—and braised short ribs. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Heightened Experience One of the most amazing things about the Top of the World (Stratosphere, 702.380.7771) is undeniably the view. The dining room is on a circular track, which makes a complete rotation around the tower top of the hotel every 80 minutes. It is literally the perfect place for a romantic, gourmet dinner.

The grilled portobello starter is an excellent way to begin the meal—buffalo 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.

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 10-ounce wagyu skirt steak with caramelized shallots, and plenty of chimichurri sauce to accent. Or venture into the poultry world with duck leg confit. –Nina King

Branded as the ultimate man cave and sports destination, nearly two dozen flatscreen TVs are found around the 8,000-square-foot space, in addition to a large rectangular bar with more than 50 craft beers, including beers on draft plus domestic and imported selections. But don’t let the male-slanted surroundings fool you; ladies can kick back here, too. The handcrafted cocktail list has amazing selections such as The Golden Boy, a sweet and spicy blend of tequila, passion fruit, Fresno chile, agave nectar and a cinnamon sugar rim, and the highly addictive Kentucky Mule, a blend of Wild Turkey, lime and ginger beer. And all can enjoy games like billiards, shuffleboard and foosball. –Kiko Miyasato
