Bobby Flay
Celebrity chef has more big Las Vegas plans in store Celebrity chef Bobby Flay has maintained a strong presence on the Strip for more than a dozen years through his hit restaurant Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace. His style and formidable flavors are as familiar as any of the many star chefs situated on the Strip, but Flay is always making changes and is currently poised to grow—Bobby’s Burger Palace, which also has a Las Vegas location in front of Aria, might just become the next big burger franchise spreading across the country, and Flay is developing a new restaurant concept planned to open at the Palms resort next year. He spoke recently to Las Vegas Magazine’s Brock Radke. You recently added the Bobby Style burger to the menu at Bobby’s Burger Palace, which is exactly how you like your burger. No matter what’s on top, what is the secret to a truly great burger? A couple of things. First, seasoning the patty with a lot of salt and pepper. A lot of people just don’t do that, and I hate bland hamburgers. We use lots of kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper on both sides, and it helps form that crust on the burger when we cook it on the flat-top grill. In terms of the classic cheeseburger, you have to melt the cheese all the way. In every one of my kitchens there’s a sign hanging where only the chefs can see it, and it says, “Bobby says melt the cheese completely.” It drives me crazy when I order a burger and they don’t take the extra 20 seconds to do it right. Why is it the right time for you to expand Bobby’s Burger Palace with new franchising? We’ve been at it for nine or 10 years and garnered a really nice reputation. People like the restaurants and crave the food. I have 17 or 18 of my own stores, and I think it’s time to get out there a little bit more. I like the
22 12.10.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
idea of licensing and franchising to people who are at the top of their game because I get to teach them how to do it. You are going to open your third Las Vegas restaurant sometime in 2018 at the Palms. How exciting is it to do something new here? It’s going to be an incredibly fun and exciting project. I haven’t opened a high-end restaurant in Las Vegas for a long time; Mesa Grill was 12 years ago. What can you say about this new Palms restaurant? It’s going to be a fish-driven restaurant with a lot of the Latin flavors that I’m known for. Mesa Grill is one of the most consistently popular restaurants on the Strip. How do you balance maintaining that consistency and keeping dishes people love to come back for with a desire to refresh the menu and the experience? It’s a great question. I was just there (in November) changing some of the dishes. I think it’s important to evolve the menu within the focus, without going too far outside that focus. People want to come back for the flavors
they know again and again, and the things they know you serve. But that said, based on seasonality and the time of year, and the changing ways people are eating, I’ve got to mix it up. We had lobster tacos on the menu for a long time but took them off a few months ago and put some grilled lamb tacos on the menu, and those are flying out of the kitchen. I put a salad on with some shaved Brussels sprouts and kale and pomegranate, things people are eating today with a healthier approach. I listen to what people
want to eat and try to craft it in the style of Mesa Grill. But we also have a handful of dishes that have been there since day one. Your other balancing act is doing so many TV shows while running an empire of restaurants. Has that gotten easier over the years? It’s just one more thing that I do. I have my own production company now so that helps in scheduling (TV) things when I can get them done. But, yeah … I don’t get a lot of sleep.

The residency requirement for a “quickie divorce” in Nevada—six weeks— was established in the 1930s. UNLV’s Runnin’ Rebels set national title game records in 1990 with their 103-72 defeat of Duke: Most points scored by a team and largest margin of victory. Most people know Nevada as “The Silver State,” but it has had several nicknames over the years, including “Battle Born State,” “Sagebrush State” and “Sage Hen State.” For a long time, Nevada hired only male card dealers. The first female dealers weren’t hired until 1971; the first Strip casino to hire them was the Silver Slipper.

Creativity—with a pinch of whimsy and a dash of the devil. Therein lies the mad mind-set at the core of Carrot Top’s comic appeal—and the outrageous doohickeys (the technical term) he devises to magnify his frenetic gags. “From birth to mirth, I love seeing the process, to make it and see it work is like your baby,” Carrot Top—aka Scott Thompson—told Las Vegas Magazine. “I never cared about being labeled a prop comic as long as ‘comic’ is in there. … But years ago I was in a junkyard and I saw a little mini-toilet. What’s funny about a mini-toilet? So I took it and figured I’d come up with something.” Add an attached plate and ... voila! “It became a plate for bulimics—eat and throw up, eat and throw up.” You get the warped idea. Want more of the The Top’s props? How about the United Airlines snack tray, which features a hidden fist that pops out to slug passengers. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

One aerialist performs within a metal cube both on the ground and while airborne. Another flips and twists on a vertical strip of fabric that appears to stretch into infinity.

From sight to sound, Mystère enthralls. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff
Las Vegas is still the nation’s capital when it comes to magic shows, so it was really only a matter of time before Masters of Illusion—a hit TV series and touring production featuring a rotating cast of veteran and rising star magicians— made its way to the Strip. Even better, it’s landed at the celebrated Jubilee Theater at Bally’s. The current ensemble cast includes Tommy Wind, Jason Bird, Farrell Dillon, Greg Gleason and Chris Randall, and each magician brings a different style—some comedic, some specialize in big illusions, some in close-up magic. –Brock Radke Bally’s, 7 p.m. Wed.-Mon., starting at $49 plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782 Carrot Top photo by Christopher DeVargas Mystère photo by Erik Kabik/erikkabik.com

Timeless Tribute One of the keys to a long-running Las Vegas show is to include an element that makes it crucial for the audience to come back. That’s part of why Legends in Concert is the Strip’s longest-running hit: It’s continually adding cast members to its list of impersonators, and the attention to detail, from appearance to singing ability, is staggering. The current lineup of impersonators includes Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, George Michael and Elvis Presley. As Houston, singing hits like “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and “I Will Always Love You,” Jazmine will have you believe you’re seeing the real thing. Then Brian Duprey takes his

Minus5 Ice Experience teamed up with country music star Kenny Chesney and his rum brand, Blue Chair Bay, and together created amazing signature cocktails like the Ice in da Coconut.

The paradise section of the bar, located in The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The Palazzo, is decorated with Adirondack chairs encased in ice, surfboards, waves and palm trees made of ice.
Heating Things Up Thanks to Fantasy, the long-running female revue at Luxor, change has never looked so good. In the newest incarnation of the show, you’ll find some of the most popular numbers from the past, and hot modern ones, too. The glamorous production features a rotating cast of eight dancers, with star singer and host Lorena Peril belting out songs like “Tush” and “Roxanne,” while “Can’t Stop the Feeling” works as an aural backdrop for the women’s sexy gyra-
tions. But these ladies do more than gyrate—the choreography for all the dance numbers is topnotch. Acts include three girls frolicking on a bed and six dancers playing a seductive peek-a-boo with the stage curtains. Not only does the dancing get pretty heated, but when the ladies’ tops come off, you may feel a little heated, too! To cool you off a bit, comedian Sean E. Cooper provides a James Brown impersonation that will leave you giggling. –Nina King

Home for the Holidays
Ventriloquist gets together with some of his best friends Terry Fator’s got Christmas. Arguably the most successful ventriloquist since Edgar Bergen, Fator seems to have made a permanent home inside the Terry Fator Theatre at The Mirage. One sign of that permanence is the holiday engagement Fator performs annually throughout December. It’s gone by other names, but many of the songs in the show that’s been titled A Very Terry Christmas since 2015 remain the same. He might bring his David Bowie back to duet with his Bing Crosby, but Fator’s goal is to evoke the feeling of classic TV Christmas specials live onstage. He succeeds in abundance, and fine tunes his Christmas show from season to season. Viewers

of his appearance singing “Blue Christmas” with Elvis impersonator Maynard Thompkins on last year’s America’s Got Talent: Holiday Spectacular had a taste of what to expect in the full production. Fator draws on longtime co-stars such as Winston the Impersonating Turtle, Vikki “The Cougar” and country crooner Walter T. Airdale to deliver holiday tunes such as “Sleigh Ride,” “White Christmas” and “Winter Wonderland,” with helpings of Christmas-themed comedy in between. The season 2 winner of America’s Got Talent has a few newer characters in the fold as well. Fator’s Elton John adds a stylistic take to Christmas songs, while his Donald Trump, added last
year before the election, is likely to inform the audience that he plans to make Fator’s show great again. He wasn’t around when Fator first added Bowie to his existing Crosby bit, performing their classic blending of “Peace On Earth” and “Little Drummer Boy” that was on television every year around the time Fator got his first ventriloquism dummy. Fator has invited this year’s AGT winner Darci Lynne Farmer to join him for this year’s Very Terry Christmas, so it may be a 12-yearold prodigy rather than the president who adds something great to Fator’s show. –Matt Kelemen The Mirage, 7:30 p.m. Mon.-Thurs., $59.99$149.99 MVP Experience, plus tax and fee, 5+. 702.792.7777

It’s a Thriller It’s a special effects-filled rock concert. It’s an incredibly precise showcase of awe-inspiring dance performance and choreography. It’s a greatest-hits homage to one of the most iconic entertainers of all time. Jackson’s signature moves are easily identifiable throughout the fast-paced Michael Jackson ONE production, but this is no celebrity impersonation tribute show. From “Bad” and “Smooth Criminal” to “The Way You Make Me Feel,” each song comes to life onstage and all around you, and not only through the electrifying talent of the 61 dancers and acrobats performing in the show. The one-of-a-kind theater sound environment—which includes speaker in the seats—projects Jackson’s vocals and recordings at the audience from different angles, creating a truly immersive environment. Video projections on virtually every surface inside the theater help create the show’s vibrant atmosphere while helping move the story along. From the quiet, shimmering solo dance per-

Now You See It …
Master prestidigitator charms audiences In a few short years, Mat Franco went from auditioning before the celebrity judges in America’s Got Talent to having his own theater named for him in Las Vegas. Most magicians would be content to have a steady gig on the Strip, preferably one with headlining status. The ever-smiling showman gives two performances of Magic Reinvented Nightly on most evenings at the Mat Franco Theater at The Linq, mixing things up from show to show to satisfy returning fans and live up to expectations conjured by the title of his career-making Vegas production. Franco has had his eyes on the prize since shortly after he could walk and talk. He asked for

his first magic kit at age 4, and practiced in front of his grandmother before performing in front of his classmates. He soaked up any televised magic performances he could, and by age 12 made his first visit to Las Vegas to study under magician Jeff McBride. He performed at the Riviera while still in his teens, but it was his winning turn on Season 9 of America’s Got Talent that made Franco a household name. Audiences get to see the kind of magic Franco dazzled judges Howard Stern and Mel B with, plus much more. He elevates close-up magic to a new level, requiring the participation of enthusiastic audience members. Effortlessly drawing
enthusiasm out of participants is Franco’s special skill. There’s no disconnect between him and the audience. Disarming charm takes precedence over stage mannerisms at Magic Reinvented Nightly, and Franco exudes not only confidence in his magic but also confidence in his future as a Strip headliner. Carrying forward the legacy of legends such as David Copperfield and Penn & Teller is no small feat, but it’s no illusion that Franco is up to the challenge. –Matt Kelemen The Linq Hotel, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Fri.-Tues.

A Night of Straight Talk You can expect politically correct comments to go flying out the window during your evening of entertainment with Dennis Miller and Bill O’ Reilly, when they get together onstage at Caesars Palace. Miller is a Saturday Night Live alumni and a pop culture icon who has been sharing his observational humor and intellectual rantings as a stand-up comic since the early 1980s. The five-time Emmy Award winner and comic is famous for delivering the line of “I’m not wanting to get off on a rant but ...,” and then off he goes on, what else, a rant.
O’ Reilly, the former Fox newsman and commentator, has worked with Miller during some live tour shows and also had the comic on his Fox program. The conservative commentator occasionally moves away from orthodox conservative views but always stimulates heated discussions about his specific viewpoint. So you can expect these two straighttalking celebrities to gleefully exchange good-natured bantering as they give you their views of political issues, politicians, social and economic topics and the world in general. –Penny Levin

After kicking things off with “Nights on Broadway,” the band delivers a British Invasion-era selection of songs including “I Started a Joke.” A video homage to early ’70s live music series gives the “brothers” a chance to change from ’60s fashions into Saturday Night Fever style, and the audience to hit the dance floor. –Matt Kelemen Excalibur, 7 p.m. Sat.-Thurs., $49.95-$59.95 plus tax and fee. 702.597.7600

With two types of experiences, you’ll get all kinds of thrills at SlotZilla at the Fremont Street Experience (vegasexperience. com). 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. –MK
Cuts Done Right Steaks are truly the star at MB Steak (Hard Rock Hotel, 702.483.4888), with highlights including bonein filet mignon and ribeye (especially when dipped in sauces like peppercorn and MB’s signature blend). If you’re ordering for two, it doesn’t get much better than the 32-ounce double porterhouse. But relax, seafood lovers: the fennel-crusted salmon, served with marble potatoes and a sweet, succulent lobster butter, is just as satisfying. –Ken Miller

Satisfaction Found
Exhibit celebrates legendary rock band In the summer of 1965, The Rolling Stones reached the top of the charts with “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” More than a half-century later, the Stones are delivering plenty of satisfaction to their fans in the form of Exhibitionism, an aptly named traveling exhibition that recently began a four-month run at The Palazzo. The immersive exhibit showcases more than 500 original items from the Stones’ archives, and takes fans backstage, onstage, into the studio and all the way back to where it all began. That would be the Edith Grove flat that founding members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones shared in London’s Chelsea neighborhood in 1962, a flat that was recreated with meticulous detail to give visitors a glimpse into what
38 12.10.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
life was like before the Stones—one of the key groups to explode in America as part of the mid’60s British Invasion—became one of the world’s biggest rock bands. The interactive experience continues in a faux studio, where fans will see the original instruments the band used to lay down tracks for 30 studio albums, followed by a visit “backstage” for a glimpse into the environment before the lights go down and the boys plug in. Exhibitionism also includes a guitar gallery featuring replicas of famous axes used by Jagger, Richards and Ronnie Wood, as well as clothing worn both on- and offstage, lyric books, personal diaries, a screening cinema, and exclusive film and photos. There are also prized
original works from such cultural icons as artist Andy Warhol, and fashion designers Ossie Clark and Alexander McQueen. And because no Rolling Stones exhibition would be complete without a concert, visitors are treated to a 3-D show. “It’s not going to be like walking into a museum,” Jagger says of Exhibitionism. “It’s going to be an event, an experience. It’s about a sense of The Rolling Stones—it’s something we want people to go away talking about it.” (Not to mention feeling satisfied …) The Stones have spent their career being talked about. Exhibitionism promises to continue that legacy. –Matt Jacob The Palazzo, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily, $36.50$58.15 VIP plus tax and fee. 702.414.9000

Alexandria Finley
Creative bent fuels model’s feed In the music video for The Killers song “The Man,” Brandon Flowers tries on a variety of personas while traveling the Las Vegas landscape: lounge singer backed by dancers, stunt rider in a jumpsuit of gold, high roller partying with beautiful women. Among those beautiful women lounging in a lavish Caesars Palace suite is Alexandria Finley, a model and Instagram personality based in Las Vegas. Today, Finley’s work involves donning gorgeous clothes for photo shoots and appearing in music videos for one of Vegas’ biggest rock bands, but the California native never set out to be a model. It just sort of happened by mistake. “When I was younger, I was always an artist. I always loved drawing. That’s basically what I did in all my spare time,” says Finley. But when a friend shot some photos of her, they turned out so well, that soon offers came pouring in. Posing in front of the camera went from favor to career. “Modeling isn’t too far,” Finley says of her artistic instincts. “It’s still very creative in a lot of ways. You get to come together with a lot of creative people to bring a vision to life.” Usually that vision belongs to the brand behind the shoot, the photographer or art director, but on Instagram Finley gets to share her own perspective through portraits atop a laundromat washing machine or shots of the model sitting on a payphone in killer red heels. “It’s curated,” she says. “I do like being able to play with color and saturation. I do have that creative freedom.” Many of the images feature midcentury-modern architecture from Downtown Vegas, where, Finley says, “There are hidden gems everywhere.” But in her Instagram stories, you’ll find something different: slices of the model’s daily life, like blending up “weird smoothies” and making noodles out of sweet potatoes. “Yesterday, I literally baked five pies,” Finley laughs. “People ask for recipes.” –Sarah Feldberg

Lucky Is as Lucky Does
Get in the spirit at The Linq’s Irish party playground It was a somber day when the original O’Sheas casino closed in 2012, even if it was to make way for The Linq Promenade’s retail/dining project. The casino where Rusty Griswold won a car in Vegas Vacation would be no more. Farewell to beer pong, farewell to cheap and abundant drinks and, saddest of all, farewell to Mr. Lucky, Brian Thomas’ beloved green-clad character and the casino’s mascot. After 23 years, it seemed that the luck had run out for O’Sheas. Or had it? A new O’Sheas opened at The Linq Promenade at the end of 2013, bringing the spirit of the original back to the Las Vegas Strip with beer pong, blackjack, three bars offering cheap drinks and more than 50 types of beer—and, of course, Mr. Lucky. The 5,000-square-foot space is still a
42 12.10.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
mix of an old-timey Irish pub and raucous Vegas casino that pays homage to its roots. The original marquee, refurbished and brighter than ever, stands right outside the casino’s Promenade entrance and next to the outdoor Blarney Bar, which serves up cocktails and frozen delights like the Irish Marg and Fire in the Hole. The Dublin Up bar features a mural of the original O’Sheas, and the Lucky Bar is there to quench your pre- and postgame thirst. There’s also beer pong tables near the bar, so grab some friends for a friendly match or enter a daily tournament. O’Sheas’ bartenders take time to romp around with their guests. They’ll even jump up on the bar to blaring whistles and stomp up and down the bar while giving away free shots. And who
doesn’t like free shots? Speaking of shots, take yours at one of the several blackjack or roulette tables, or take a turn playing foosball. Up on the small stage, which is conveniently situated next to one of the bars, live entertainment makes for merrier memories with bands and DJs performing every day of the week. O’Sheas also celebrates with its Lucky Hour, Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and 2 a.m.-6 a.m.—imbibe $3 Jello shots and $3 Miller Lite and Coors Light beers and $5 shots of FireBall, Patron, Jameson and Jägermeister. There’s also football specials throughout the season, and guests can bring in their losing sports-bet tickets and get a shot for just $5 (available Mon., Thurs. and Sun., 8 p.m.-midnight). –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

McCall’s Heartland Grill channels classic steakhouse feel
As one moves farther north on the Las Vegas Strip, the term classic becomes more relevant. There are classic neon signs, classic gift shops and of course downtown, which is, you guessed it, classic. Then there are the classic restaurants, and the classic steakhouses, found near this part of town. McCall’s Heartland Grill, located in the north end of the Stratosphere, fits into this classic steakhouse category, even though it isn’t nearly as old as many of its counterparts. The restaurant,
44 12.10.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
which opened only a few years ago, features more modern décor and a whiskey bar. Chef Manuel Navarro-Torres has been behind the burners since the place opened, and the steady flow of customers matches his steady quality of cuisine. Start your meal with applewood bacon jalapeño wrapped prawns for an out-of-the-box version of the appetizer. These monster versions of the crustaceans are enveloped by equally as large slices of pork and accompanied by guava barbecue and spicy ponzu sauces.

The exotic fruit really shines in the sweet and heat. The beef and bacon ribbon chip stack is shaped like a full meatloaf, with the loaf here being hefty potato chips. Blackened beef tenderloin tips, bacon, smoked cheddar cheese sauce and pico de gallo round this monster starter out. It’s a fork-and-knife app with a game-day feel, perfect for chowing down on while watching your favorite team on the screens at the bar. Speaking of the bar, grab a Midnight McCall’s for a unique and tasty beverage. Knob Creek bourbon, blackberries, mint, PAMA pomegranate liqueur, simple syrup and Cointreau pack a collective punch with the fruit flavors and the bourbon in the spotlight. A traditional Caesar salad sets the correct steakhouse vibe. Crisp romaine lettuce, salty grated Parmesan, crunchy croutons and a zesty dressing is exactly as it should be with a steak dinner. There are many meaty main course options including barbecue-spiced skirt steak, horseradish-crusted chuck steak
and a 20-ounce bone-in prime rib. A rotating special features the best of all worlds with a 5-ounce filet mignon paired with a lobster tail and four shrimp scampi. The filet is topped with a mushroom demi-glace—the rich brown sauce and earthy mushrooms truly accentuate the meat. But the scampi may be the biggest star on the plate, with the shrimp bathed in olive oil, garlic, butter, white wine and finished with parsley, lemon juice and pepper. It simply pops with flavor. Served with green beans and lobster mashed potatoes, there’s a lot of goodness to be tasted here. For those looking for lighter fare, check out the grilled ahi tuna. Coated simply with Cajun spices, this one is all about maximizing the natural taste of a proper piece of fish. Two desserts you’ll want to indulge in are berries and cream and triple chocolate mousse. The former showcases an array of berries with ice cream, and the latter features white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate mousse, hitting all the chocolate check marks.

Jeffrey Smith
General manager turns a job into a career Jeffrey Smith was just 17 years old when he walked into Steve Martorano’s restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. “A guy I knew was a cook there and he would bring me their cheesesteaks— man, best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. Anyway, I was looking for a job, so I decided to just walk in and ask Steve for a job,” Smith said. After some convincing and Smith’s willingness to start at the bottom and work his way up, he was hired. “I cut the bread and made the desserts,” Smith said. “That was my job.” That was more than a dozen years ago. Today, Smith is the general manager for Martorano’s at Paris (He also ran the now-shuttered Martorano’s at Rio). “I worked my way up; I proved myself,” Smith said. “I’d been a busser and barback,

then a server. Eventually I started bartending. Then I was like the managers’ right-hand guy. Everyone took me under their wing, since I was the youngest. Growing up at Martorano’s, I got to work with great people and learn a lot.” Smith said he’s also learned a lot from the man whose name is on the marquee. Steve taught him to be passionate about the product, to be a hard worker and pitch in wherever help is needed, and years of mentorship has made him a better manager, Smith said. “To me, Martorano’s is home. It’s Italian food that’s simple, but it’s done in a way where much attention is paid to the quality. It’s approachable. Just one taste and you’ll get it; you’ll see it’s the best in the world.” –Kiko Miyasato
With more than a dozen specialty cocktails on the menu, Smith said they’re all scratch-made using fresh fruits and herbs, purées, syrups and juices. Martorano’s is also introducing its own housemade limoncellos and sangria to the menu. But one of the most popular cocktails, and one that’s been on the menu since day one, is the Misses Sage. The ridiculously delicious cocktail is mixed with Grey Goose La Poire vodka, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, sage syrup, pear purée, sour mix and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. –KM

Sustaining the Note The list of female country singers who have burst on the scene before they were old enough to drive is as long as a breakup ballad. So the fact Tanya Tucker hit it big at age 13—when her debut single “Delta Dawn” reached No. 6 on the charts—isn’t all that remarkable. Here’s what is remarkable: She followed that initial splash with a decorated
career that has lasted 45 years. In this regard, Tucker is part of an exclusive club whose members include such legends as Brenda Lee, Dolly Parton and Barbara Mandrell. In Tucker’s case, success has looked like this: 24 studio albums, nine of which were top 10 on the U.S. country charts, including one that reached No. 1; 67 singles on the U.S.
country charts, including 10 that hit No. 1; and nine Grammy nominations. Tucker enjoyed crossover appeal, not unlike two modern-day female artists: Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, both arriving on the country scene as teens and becoming mega pop stars—and both of whom are quite a way from matching Tucker’s longevity. –Matt Jacob

Nonstop Evolution Lonestar has proven throughout two-plus decades that it has the goods. Richie McDonald, Michael Britt, Dean Sams and Keech Rainwater have reached the highest levels of fame as a country pop group and have crossed over to the mainstream as well. That success includes nine No. 1 songs on the Hot Country Songs chart. From that list, “Amazed” was the top country song of 1999; “My Front Porch Looking In” took the same honor in 2003. Both of those songs were released after John Rich left Lonestar and became part of the mega country duo Big & Rich, proving that Lonestar could survive a major loss and still climb higher as a group. Lonestar released its 10th studio album, Never Enders, in 2016. The title track showcases a signature sound that melds the best of modern country with tinges of soft pop. –Jason Harris Golden Nugget, 10 p.m. Dec. 13, starting at $31.61 plus tax and fee. 866.946.5336
Smart Moves
When pioneering punk band The Descendents titled their 1982 debut album Milo Goes to College, that wasn’t an ironic reference— frontman Milo Aukerman was really going to college, earning a Ph.D. in biology. Aukerman returned to The Descendents at various points throughout the next three decades before dedicating himself permanently to music in 2016, coinciding with the release of Hypercaffium Spazzinate. The Descendents became one of the most influential bands on the SoCal punk scene, with a mix of speed and melody that presaged the development of pop-punk in the ’90s. They’re fully enjoying their status as punk rock elder statesman, headlining festivals and hitting their highest-ever position on the Billboard album charts. That’s the result of some pretty smart moves. –Josh Bell Brooklyn Bowl at The Linq, 7 p.m. Dec. 16, starting at $29.50 plus fee, 18+. 702.862.2695 Bruno Mars photo by Kai Z Feng Maroon 5 photo by Vincent Perrini The Descendents photo by Lisa Johnson

The Beat Goes On Before writing The Drums’ latest release, Abysmal Thoughts, frontman Jonny Pierce found himself alone. On top of a messy divorce from his husband, Drums synth player and co-founding member Jacob Graham announced his departure from the group, leaving Pierce without love and without a band. But rather than sink into an abyss, Pierce had an epiphany. He realized all this time, since The Drums’ self-titled debut in 2010, that in an effort to please everyone around him, Pierce never stopped to focus on himself. This reflection is evident on Abysmal Thoughts’ opening track “Mirror”: “I look in the mirror/when the sun goes down,” Pierce sings. “I ask myself/ who are you now?” While one may think The Drums’ sound would change drastically considering the band is now essentially Pierce’s solo project, the group’s signature downbeat lyrics over upbeat surf-rock remains intact. The reason, as Pierce has explained in recent interviews, is that The Drums were his sound and vision from the beginning. “I’ve always been plagued with so much self-doubt, and I pulled people into my
life to stilt me up,” he told Noisey. Now Pierce finally has the courage to accept he never needed the crutch after all, and the music is better off. –Alex Haase

The New Outlaw Country Jamey Johnson was a bit ahead of the country-music curve when he released his breakout album That Lonesome Song in 2008. At the time, he was a Nashville misfit, putting out an album independently after losing his record deal. Song became a slowburn success, thanks to hit singles “In Color” and “High Cost of Living,” along with a flood of critical acclaim for the album’s gritty, no-frills sound and soul-baring lyrics. Since then, Johnson’s career has remained eccentric; his most recent studio album was 2012’s Living for a Song, a collection of Hank Cochran covers. A decade after Johnson recorded That Lonesome Song, though, his brand of outlaw country has started to reach mainstream audiences, thanks to artists like Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell and recent Johnson tourmate Margo Price. Johnson has kept up his lucrative side career as a songwriter for hire, working with Nashville hitmakers including George Strait, Joe Nichols and Jessie James Decker. Live, he’s just as likely to break out a string of covers, ranging from rock to traditional folk, as he is to play his own hits. As he’s been doing from the start, Johnson forges his own unique path. –Josh Bell

From music and television to movies, Lady Gaga is doing it all

IT MAY SEEM ODD that Lady Gaga’s tour in support of her latest album, Joanne, began nearly 10 months after it was released, but the perpetually metamorphosing superstar was at work in another medium. After performing an Emmy-nominated Super Bowl halftime show in February, Gaga set aside time to star opposite Bradley Cooper in a 21st century remake of A Star Is Born (the film is slated for release late-spring 2018). The concert tour itself could help make the film a hit and raise her profile to its highest level since she exploded on the pop scene in 2008. Back then, her chameleon-like showbiz persona drew comparisons to Madonna and David Bowie, and she was considerably influenced by Freddie Mercury’s theatrics and Andy Warhol’s attitude toward art. Add Barbra Streisand into that mix and you can get a feel for where Gaga’s career is heading. It’s not just that Streisand starred in T-Mobile Arena the ’70s remake of 7:30 p.m. A Star Is Born. Gaga Dec. 16, starting has increasingly relied at $45 plus more on her voice tax and fee. than her flamboyant 888.929.7849 image since her 2014 collaboration with Tony Bennett, Cheek to Cheek. Joanne is titled after her father’s sister, who passed away before she was born and became Gaga’s muse. The album is a distinct departure from Gaga’s electroclash past, with a stripped-down sound often flavored by country or an early ’70s, Laurel Canyon feel. Without being bathed in high-gloss production excess, her voice becomes a direct
conduit for raw emotion and personal expression, most effectively on songs such as “Million Reasons” and “Sinner’s Prayer.” There’s still danceable Gaga anthems (“A-Yo,” “John Wayne”), but Joanne displays the range of Lady Gaga’s vocal artistry like never before. Gaga has plenty of fun along the way too, such as the channeling of Elton John’s “Bennie and the Jets” through “Hey Girl,” a solidarity-celebrating duet with Florence Welch. How she planned to present the new songs live alongside her history of art-pop hits remained under wraps prior to the Aug. 1 tour kick-off in Vancouver. Expectations were high, after what she achieved at Super Bowl LI, when she floated down from the roof of Houston’s NRG Stadium and delivered a set that weaved together themes of tolerance, patriotism and unity. Gaga, the pop star who rose to fame by celebrating artifice and visual excess, delivered an authentic antidote to a divisive time. She also proved she could rock out with Metallica at this year’s Grammys and won critical raves in April for her performance at Coachella, where she debuted her latest single “The Cure.” Gaga revealed, in the July 4 edition of Billboard’s Pop Shop podcast, that the stage for the Joanne World Tour contrasts with everything she’s done before, and provided consolation to fans disappointed by her canceled Dive Bar Tour summer tour dates while hinting at what they could expect at upcoming concerts: “I always tell people, ‘You gotta play a dive bar like an arena, and you play an arena like a dive bar.’”

Rodney Carrington still delivers the genuine goods By matt kelemen Rodney Carrington has been coming to Las Vegas during Wrangler National Finals Rodeo for nearly 20 years. The heartland humorist has a love-hate relationship with the city: he loves performing for the rodeo fans who catch his show every year, but sometimes hated himself a little while taking stock of his recreational activities after his annual 10-day run. “Every time I leave there, I feel like I need to sit near the fireplace in a Christmas sweater and read a children’s book,” he says in a bit captured for his 2014 Netflix special Laughter’s Good. Carrington’s decadent behavior shifted to food in recent years, though. He’s always been husky, but daily jogs had yet to run off the results of a post-divorce cake dependency by the time he recorded his latest Netflix special, Here Comes the Truth, before a hometown audience in Tulsa, Okla., earlier this year. “Do not adjust your

Variety show WOW is familiar and unique at the same time Ninety action-packed minutes in the Rio Showroom and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to another world. That’s the goal of WOW, a spectacular stuffed with acrobatics, comedy, dancing and 3D-projection effects, all tied together with a little old Vegas charm. “We try to give the audience a mixture of many different elements,” says creator and producer Hanoch Rosènn. “I like to see variety, different things that make me say, ‘Wow! How did they do that?’ It’s something very extravagant in terms of costumes, effects and music, 90 minutes of roller-coaster entertainment that’s good for the entire family.” Rosènn anchored the original production of WOW in a major resort south of Israel for nearly 15 years and has toured the show throughout Europe and South America, but he made some important tweaks to get it ready for its Las Vegas debut in October. WOW takes advantage of the rounded structure of the Rio Showroom by extending the stage into the center
of the room and bringing some of the awe-inspiring acts closer to the audience. “We also used the round walls to create a sort of semi-panoramic effect with the video (projection) walls,” he says. “We’re not using it as a regular proscenium stage but trying to maximize the room itself, and what we’re really trying to do with the show is the character of each act. You should feel you are really close to the artist, and sometimes you’re actually just a few feet away. They are not untouchable. The show has to have that real connection between artist and audience; it’s the only way for us to win.” One of the favorite acts from WOW is Silvia Silvia, a crossbow archer who’s no stranger to Las Vegas. She’s recognizable from a recent appearance on America’s Got Talent, but the third-generation performer (born in Colombia and raised in Spain) recalls previous onstage stints here in the early ’80s. “It’s another Vegas now,” she says. “It’s beautiful, too, but
the Las Vegas I remember was completely different. One thing that hasn’t changed is all the big, beautiful shows.” Silvia, whose husband of 46 years, Victor Ponce, is the juggler who stars in WOW, offers the dramatic finale to the show by shooting an apple resting on her own head with the use of eight crossbows. After she did the trick on AGT, the offers started pouring in, but Silvia has had to turn down most of them in order to perform in WOW. “I’ve been this for more than 30 years and when I do the apple, it happens so fast. People only see the few minutes onstage but we are preparing for three hours every night behind the scenes,” she says. “I love it. And here, in America and in Las Vegas, the audience really does give everything to you. We love the audience here and they love the show.” The connection is real, and that’s just one of more than a dozen acts that make WOW a memorable, immersive experience.

Italian Paradise One of the best things about Las Vegas is that it can transport you to anywhere around the world. One day, you can be on top of the Eiffel Tower, the next, you could be walking the streets of New York. Sure, it takes a little imagination, but all great things in Vegas do. In that sense, Mercato della Pescheria (The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and The

try the Swiss chard ravioli, topped with a pesto cream sauce that pops with basil, toasted pine nuts and gran padano cheese. You’ll find other steaks and seafood such as the salmon, veal osso bucco and chicken parmigiana. Roasted cauliflower, cooked with anchovies, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and saffron is a bite you’ll keep going back for. –Jason Harris
