The band never collected anything from the ’60s. They didn’t know The Rolling Stones were going to be around for 50 years, so we had to rely on collectors for everything from the 1960s, which we were able to do, fortunately. How would you characterize your personal relationship to the band prior to working on this project? I just remember growing up, it was The Beatles versus The Stones. I always liked The Stones more because I thought they were a little bit dirty and a little bit naughty, a little more dangerous. And I guess I was attracted to that and their music. It just spoke to me more.
Ileen Gallagher Bringing The Rolling Stones’ Exhibitionism to Las Vegas Ileen Gallagher and her team launched Rolling Stones retrospective Exhibitionism in London before bringing it to The Palazzo in Las Vegas. The immersive presentation recreates everything from Mick and Keith’s first flat to a recording studio to a modern backstage area, with fashion, film, artifacts and stage models enhancing the experience. Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen spoke with Gallagher about what it takes to make a Rolling Stones mobile museum.
22 12.31.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
Mick Jagger told a Chicago publication that Stones lighting designer Patrick Woodroffe initiated the idea for Exhibitionism, but was that before or after your company ISG got involved with the Rolling Stones: 50 Years photo exhibit? It was after the 50th anniversary (2002). At the time of the 50th anniversary, I remember we were all talking about that, that it was a missed opportunity that we didn’t do something grander or more
fitting for the 50th anniversary than just a photography exhibition. Several years later a producer came forward who approached the band and was able to make a deal with them to present the exhibition. Where does one start when developing a Rolling Stones exhibition? From the chronological beginning, or with the collection connections? We just started by thinking about how we were going to organize the exhibition. That was really the first thing, and what was going to make the most sense and where we thought the collections were.
Do you have a favorite album, or did you get into different eras at different times? I’ve always liked Sticky Fingers quite a bit, but yeah, I’ve morphed over the years into different albums. There was a tour they did several years ago, when I first started working on this project, where they performed Sticky Fingers in its entirety, and it was fantastic. Why do you think they started collecting their own stuff by 1972? Do you think that was a pivotal point when they realized they had more of a future than they imagined? Yeah, I guess so. I’m not sure when the exact moment came when it clicked for them that they should start saving this stuff, but I think when they did have a modicum of success they realized, “Oh, gee, we might be around a for a little bit longer than we thought. We should start collecting it.”

Warming Effect
When the temperatures get this cold, there’s nothing better than a nice, warm meal, and Beer Park at Paris just revamped its seasonal menu to satisfy all your comfort food needs. Additions to the menu include Beer Park pie, made with barbecue pulled pork, mac and cheese, Fritos, fresh jalapenos and cheddar cheese, and the Beer Park nacho cheeseburger, packed with beef, tortilla chips, melted cheese sauce, jalapeno peppers, guacamole and pico de gallo. All of the smoked meats are prepared at Beer Park’s outdoor smoker, which uses the same beechwood used to make Budweiser. For more information, call 702.444.4500.
Delicious Charity
The Vegas Golden Knights have taken the sports world by storm, and now they’ve partnered with Nacho Daddy at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort to raise money to fight hunger and homelessness in the community. For a limited time, enjoy Golden Knights Nachos, an intoxicating blend of marinated filet mignon, provolone cheese, yellow queso, sautéed onions, mushrooms, red and green bell peppers and picked peppers served over house-made corn chips. Every time you order a plate, $1 will be donated to the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation. For more information, call 702.462.5000.
The highly popular World Series of Poker originated at the Horseshoe Casino in 1970. It was organized by Benny Binion and featured seven players. The Beatles’ incredible success in the United States included two performances at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Las Vegas legends Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher met on a cruise ship 10 years before their 1967 Las Vegas debuts. Las Vegas rockers The Killers named their second album, Sam’s Town, after a Las Vegas hotel, and their fourth album, Battle Born, after the phrase that appears on the Nevada state flag.
One question
Frank Marino What moment from your childhood had the greatest impact on the adult you’ve become, from a personal perspective? I think the most pivotal moment from my childhood happened to me was when my adopted parents died when I was 6 and 9 years old—my mother first with breast cancer and my father later on with lung cancer. Being adopted as well as an only child, I was given everything I asked for. My parents spoiled me and bought me anything and everything a child could want, but when they passed, I went to live with my godparents, which put me in a family as the youngest of five children, where I immediately had to learn the word “share.” That, on top of the fact I saw family members cleaning out my home of all possessions, psychologically had an effect on me where I have a fear of losing things, and hold on to things I own that have great sentimental value. My friends tell me I’m an organized hoarder, but I tell them, “Darling, when you’re rich and famous, the correct word is ‘eccentric.’” LOL. I’m sure any woman reading this would agree and tell you, you can never have too many pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes. Frank Marino hosts Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq daily.

Magic Man Though Forbes magazine called this dashing prestidigitator the most commercially successful magician in history, raking in $64 million in a 12-month period, money isn’t everything. Toss in 21 Emmy awards, 11 Guinness World Records and a “Living Legend” designation from the U.S. Library of Congress. Not yet impressed? Then seeing the magic of David Copperfield for yourself should do it. Engaged with his audience from start to finish, Copperfield covers the magical waterfront, all staged with a showman’s theatrical flourish. Expect mindreading and enjoy Copperfield’s embrace of technology as he turns email, Twitter and iPhones into sources of sorcery. And lest you think it’s all magical mechanics, Copperfield is something of a sentimental softie, telling life stories—including his entry into magic at a day camp in New Jersey and an emotional tale of letters from his late father. Making that kind of connection with an audience is just a different kind of magic. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

You’ll also see dance styles that vary from hip-hop to modern and so much more. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

World of Flavors For decades, the Bacchanal Room at Caesars Palace defined the over-the-top gourmet experience that could be had in Las Vegas. That classic restaurant closed more than 15 years ago, but the spirit of the Bacchanal Room is reborn at the Bacchanal Buffet. The old-school Bacchanal spirit is used only for inspiration. But make no mistake: This is no ordinary buffet. It specializes in producing and serving a huge amount of food—more than 500 different dishes daily. There’s a fresh seafood bar; deli and pizza stops; Mexican, Italian, Chinese and Japanese food stations;
a decadent dessert depot; and an allAmerican carving station serving classic barbecue and other meats from a woodburning smoker. Each of these areas has its own kitchen with talented chefs. You can elevate the experience by ordering specialty items, including a whole fish presentation (priced per pound extra), which will be delivered to your table. And for even more luxury, order the whole poached lobster, which includes immediate seating. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Caesars Palace, 7:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Sat.-Sun., prices vary. 702.731.7928

If you’ve seen The Lego Movie, then you know the song “Everything Is Awesome.” You can take that same attitude to Blue Man Group, though at times you might feel compelled to replace “awesome” with “awkward”— but in a very good way. The Blue Men are observant and quizzical; they help us notice things about the world and ourselves. Take, for instance, the percussive sound produced by chomping handfuls of Cap’n Crunch or creating melodies by drumming on PVC pipes that move over each other like a trombone slide. But most importantly, they help us realize that once you accept your own awkwardness, you could have the time of your life. –Alex Haase Luxor, 7 & 9:30 p.m. daily; 1, 4 & 7 p.m. show only Dec. 31, additional 4 p.m. show Jan. 1-2, $59-$115.05, $175 VIP plus tax and fee. 702.262.4400

Guitar Heroine Lists of the greatest rock guitarists of all time are typically overwhelmingly male, but one woman who regularly shows up alongside the best of the best is Lita Ford. Ford got her start as a member of seminal all-female punk band The Runaways, alongside fellow future rock icon Joan Jett. After The Runaways broke up in 1979, Ford launched a solo career that made her one of the biggest stars of ’80s hair metal, with a string of hits including “Kiss Me Deadly,” “Gotta Let Go,” “Back to the Cave” and the Ozzy Osbourne duet “Close My Eyes Forever.” Ford’s vocal snarl and soaring guitar were the perfect combination for the era of pop-metal excess. She took 15 years off to focus on family, but has been going strong since returning with 2009 album Wicked Wonderland, touring with acts like Def Leppard and Poison, and returning to her classic sound for 2012’s Living Like a Runaway. Her most recent release is Time Capsule, a collection of lost ’80s recordings. Whether on early efforts or new songs, Ford’s guitar heroics remain unparalleled. –Josh Bell

Standing Tall Flashes of Fun Bonding is an important part of Menopause the Musical. The long-running production, billed as celebrating women and “The Change,” depicts four women at Bloomingdale’s in New York, while shopping for, and fighting over, intimate apparel. The four women comically commiserate over hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss and borderline psychotic episodes. They also frequently burst into song, delivering musical parodies based on hits from the

Brad Garrett’s Vegas story started in 1986 at the Desert Inn, opening for Crystal Gayle. He moved on to serve as the warm-up act for Liza Minnelli, Sammy Davis Jr., Julio Iglesias and Frank Sinatra, and he was working with The Righteous Brothers at MGM Grand when he landed a career-making role on Everybody Loves Raymond. But his favorite Vegas moment was the opening of his own comedy club at MGM Grand in 2012. “Creatively, I’m having more fun than ever,” said Garrett. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff MGM Grand, 8 p.m. daily, starting at $39 plus tax and fee, $59 when Garrett performs, 21+. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

A Cut Above David and Michael Morton’s father, Arnie, started Morton’s The Steakhouse, a benchmark of quality in the steakhouse world. For years, the brothers have been opening their own restaurants around the country, but MB Steak at the Hard Rock Hotel is their first steakhouse venture as a team. Their goal was to create an “approachable” steakhouse concept for the Hard Rock crowd. To say they’ve succeeded is a huge understatement. Obviously, steaks are the star here, with particular highlights including the bone-
in filet mignon and ribeye, and if you’re ordering for two, it doesn’t get much better than the 32-ounce double porterhouse. But relax, seafood lovers: the fennelcrusted salmon, served with marble potatoes and a sweet, succulent lobster butter, is just as satisfying. Sides include lobster mac and cheese, mushroom grits and Brussels sprouts chock full of pickled shallots and toasted almonds. Top it all off with the triple chocolate truffle cake. If you aren’t full after a meal here, you did something seriously wrong. –Ken Miller
Inner You Most vacationers in Vegas don’t expect to see dead bodies, but that’s exactly what visitors get when they happen upon REAL BODIES at Bally’s, a series of walk-through exhibits displaying preserved human forms and remains that have undergone modern-day mummification.

Organs, bones and skulls lay under glass or hang on walls, and various states of development and disease are uncovered in a way that Gray’s Anatomy can’t convey. –Matt Kelemen Bally’s, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. daily, last tour at 8 p.m., $29.95, $18 children 3-12. 702.777.2782

Dan Cox
Sharing details of a multifaceted life Last year it was Guyana that made a huge impression on Dan Cox. This year it might be Bangladesh, Myanmar, Tanzania or Madagascar. “I literally book a round-trip ticket, pack a backpack and go and figure it out when I land,” says Cox, who tries to leave the country at least three times per year and, “I try and never go to the same place twice.” The only continents Cox has left to visit are Africa and Antarctica. Besides his passion for travel, the Dublin, Calif., native, and eight-year resident of Las Vegas devotes a lot of his time to health and nutrition. Cox currently operates five stores—four in Vegas and one in Palmdale, Calif.—called Total Nutrition that provide nutrition, weight loss and vitamin supplements. He also stocks his own brands of supplements, MetCon, Wellthy and Detox Tea Caps. “I created my lines because within the certified products I saw voids that I wanted to fill with all-natural, mostly vegan, Paleo-friendly, gluten-, soy- and dairy-free products using zero artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors,” he says. Now, if you’re thinking to yourself that besides the wow factor of his adventurous and health-conscious life there’s something really familiar about Cox, well, you’d be right. He was on Season 9 of The Bachelorette and Season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise. “The exposure of being on reality TV, it was a surreal experience, before and after,” Cox says. But he hasn’t left the public eye completely—you can still follow his life by way of Instagram. “It’s just a well-rounded sense of living in Las Vegas, having an athletic lifestyle, traveling, being outdoors and running a number of businesses,” says Cox, as he explains what he posts to his Instagram profile. And, he adds, “In this day and age there’s no privacy, everything is public. So, if it’s one of those things that people can gain value out of following me, or enjoy (my profile), or I can inspire them in some way—it’s worth it.” –Kiko Miyasato

An Absolut Love for the Industry Pernod Ricard’s main man shares his story and spirits Sip on some specialty cocktails thanks to JeanPierre St. Claire and Pernod Ricard. St. Claire is the national account manager for Pernod (one of the top companies that supplies Vegas with alcohol!), and his job is getting beverage programs up to speed with the latest spirits and recipes. And St. Claire should know what’s hot—he’s been in the food and beverage industry for more than 25 years, starting out as a bartender, eventually moving into management when he moved from his home country of Canada to Boston to help run a bar and restaurant. By 2007, he decided to give Vegas a shot. “New York, Paris, London, L.A., list whatever city you want in the world, but as far as F&B goes it’s not even close to the scope and scale of Vegas,” St. Claire says.
36 12.31.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
During his tenure in town, St. Claire has been a beverage manager and director for major properties like Caesars Palace and Wynn. But, recently, he felt he needed a change, and in 2014 Pernod Ricard came calling. So far he’s been loving his new role. “The interaction with my accounts, this industry as a whole—whether it be operations, supplier, distributor—it’s just a great bunch of people,” he says. “… I have passion for the work. I have pride of presentation. I like to deliver highend products and memorable experiences.” St. Claire is so dedicated to his job, and so believes in the product he sells, that he’s even transformed his Harley Sportster into a shiny copper machine—representing Absolut’s highend vodka brand, Absolut Elyx. “Vodka pays the
bills. Absolut is our biggest brand in the U.S.,” he says. “Think of Elyx as the ultimate expression of Absolut.” To taste for yourself just how delish Elyx is, St. Claire suggests three cocktails. At Lavo at The Palazzo, try the Liquid Silk Martini, a mix of Elyx, dry vermouth and blue cheese-stuffed olives. Over at Libertine Social at Mandalay Bay, imbibe on the Elyx Punch created by bartender Jonathan Williams. It’s mixed with Elyx, apple brandy, allspice dram, lemon juice, smoked maple syrup, chamomile citrus tea and maplewood smoke. And stop by Bound at The Cromwell for another Elyx Punch—this version uses Elyx, pineapple and lemon juices, Velvet Falernum, ginger syrup, Punt e Mes sweet vermouth and plum bitters. –Kiko Miyasato

Define your own experience at the French-themed Primrose By Brock Radke | Photos by Peter Harasty
Bouillabaisse
If it’s a careful calculation, it comes as no surprise. Primrose is the ideal restaurant to launch the Monte Carlo’s transition into the new dual resort concept of Park MGM and The NoMad Hotel, a perfectly

delicious way to introduce what comes next on the Las Vegas Strip. Before you even get to your table, it’s clear Primrose is unlike any other restaurant in the city. Modeled after a French country home and designed by Martin
Brudnizki, there’s a multitude of relaxing spaces to explore besides the expansive dining room, including a handsome bar, a cookbook-filled lounge known as the drawing room, and a bountiful garden patio sure to become one
of the Strip’s most sought-after brunch destinations. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Primrose allows its diners to define their own experience. The simple, straightforward cuisine at Primrose favors subtle

Provence. If you’re eating clean, organic chicken, Mediterranean sea bass, king salmon or filet mignon are grilled to perfection with olive oil and sea salt.
If you want to let the kitchen’s creativity wow you, consider seafood bouillabaisse loaded with loup de mer, octopus, mussels and clams and served with citrusy rouille and toasty sourdough bread. For a more decadent option, the Primrose short rib steak is magnificently marbled, poached in beef fat for two days before a turn on the grill and served with potato puree, grilled butter lettuce and savory jus. The vegetable sides are a must; order as many as will fit on your table, particularly the farmhouse pickles, the briny artichokes and olives, the buttery grilled avocado and the umamiladen, charcoal-roasted eggplant. Dessert is equally necessary. It’s difficult to choose between fresh beignets with lemon curd and cream or an upgraded banana split with milk gelato and caramelized bananas, but we recommend the sour green apple granite with fluffy almond cream. It’s a delicate, delightful dish that will catch you off-guard, not unlike this charming new restaurant. If this is the future of dining on the Strip, we’re all in.

French and Mediterranean influences. At breakfast, which quickly became a popular mealtime at the new restaurant, you can start your day with a carefully crafted granola of puffed buckwheat, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and oats topped with local honey and fresh berries; a classic eggs Benedict on brioche with jambon de Paris or butter-poached lobster; or sumptuous suckling pig and potato hash. Lunchtime brings tempting options including a signature Niçoise salad with seared tuna and pickled red onions or a grilled chicken and
avocado club sandwich with bacon and crispy chicken skins. The dinner menu allows even more flexibility, where carefully constructed flavor combinations in vegetable dishes star right alongside simply grilled fish and meats. Start with garden fries, fried pickled dill beans served with hot peppers and a piquant sauce gribiche, a mozzarella croquette with crispy basil and tomato sauce, paper-thin slices of raw salmon dressed with Indian spices with green tomatoes and shaved celery, or fried chicken tenders embedded with herbs de

30-Day BarrelAged Manhattan
Mike Thompson
Bartender keeps it old-school cool After nearly three decades being a bartender, Mike Thompson still follows one piece of advice he was given when he was first starting out: “Own your establishment,” he says. “Work the bar like it’s yours; take ownership of it. It makes a big difference.” And when you walk through the doors of Edge Steakhouse at Westgate Las Vegas, you really feel like you’ve walked into Thompson’s own bar—he makes guests feel immediately welcome and at ease. Thompson’s résumé is quite impressive—he’s bartended from New York to London to Dubai; he’s snagged second place in a bartending competition in Venice, Italy; he’s helped run the bar program at one of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s New York establishments—yet, he’s a down-to-earth, humble and friendly guy.

He moved to Las Vegas six years ago and has been with Westgate three of those years. Vegas is home now, he says, even though he’ll be quick to tell you his heart belongs to New York (where he was raised most of his life, and you can hear it in his accent). One of the things he loves about being a Las Vegan is that it’s easy for him to hit the open road on his Harley. “I love riding; it’s my stress reliever,” Thompson says. So far, he’s visited 40 states across the country. “The Harley and the highway is my happy place.” Thompson makes the bar at Edge Steakhouse a happy place for his guests. “I’m more of an old-school bartender,” he says. “Quick with a joke, light up your smoke and have a little conversation while I’m stirring you a Manhattan. … It’s all about the connection.” –Kiko Miyasato
Thompson will tell you himself—he’s a big bourbon guy. While he’s created many delicious, seasonal cocktails for Edge’s bar menu, he’s especially happy to offer the 30-Day Barrel-Aged Manhattan that he recently created. It’s like a classic Manhattan but with a little something extra, Thompson says. Together he barrel-aged Pappy Van Winkle’s 10-Year Rip Van Winkle bourbon, Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye (for the spice), Carpano Antica Formula vermouth and orange bitters. Thompson also created a house-made cinnamon whiskey; make sure to take a taste of that deliciousness, too. –KM

Las Vegas stars share their New Year’s resolutions for 2018 We all make them. But, do we keep them? New Year’s resolutions have become somewhat of a tradition. Once that clock hits midnight on New Year’s Eve, it’s a chance to start over and look toward a new year, a new you. So while you think of what might be your own New Year’s resolution, take a look at what some of the stars of Las Vegas are pledging for 2018.
“This year’s resolution will be different from anything that I’ve ever done before. It’s going to be a ‘me’ year. Most people think that when you’re a celebrity that every year is about them. That’s simply not true. It becomes all about doing whatever you have to do to make the show go on. This year I want to take a break from my grueling schedule and focus on ‘me’ with some outside projects like my partner’s 45th birthday, my 55th birthday, our 25th anniversary, and possibly a wedding at my favorite

place, Disney World. Oops, did I already break the resolution, as it seems like I just loaded up my schedule in 2018.” –Frank Marino, Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas at The Linq Hotel “This New Year’s resolution may seem a little out of place, given it’s coming from a Chippendales dancer, but this year I really want to get my diet on point and take things to the next level both in the gym and in the kitchen! In fact, I want to achieve my nutritional goals ....
drum roll ... wait for it … completely vegan! I’ve been a recovering meat eater for many months now and am ready to make the final step and go entirely vegan! Not only is it better for your body, it also saves the environment in a very big way. Fifty-one percent of all greenhouses gases come from the four-legged food we eat. So I figure what better way to save your six pack and save the environment at the same time? P.S.: Feel free to send me any delicious vegan recipes. Best of luck to everyone

in reaching their goals for 2018!” –James Davis, Chippendales The Show at Rio “My New Year’s resolutions are to be more thankful for all the blessings I have; to be more attentive to listening rather than talking; to love all those I see every day; to see how I can help those around me more; to smile more to strangers; to bring happiness where there is sadness; and to be a witness of God for all.” –Silvia Silvia, WOW at Rio “To dedicate more time to animal rescue. There are wonderful organizations that do so much for dogs, cats, small animals, and more, to provide them with medical and emotional care while they find a forever home. I always try to learn a new theatrical skill every year to add more elements to myself as a performer. To continue to write and create is always at the top of my list. And I definitely want to learn how to make some extravagant desserts this year!” –Anne Martinez, Satine in Baz—A Musical Mash-up at The Palazzo “2018 will be my ‘Jesus Year.’ I resolve to create, explore, treat others with extreme kindness and drink lots and lots of wine.” –Ruby Lewis, Daisy in Baz—A Musical Mash-up at The Palazzo “This holiday season has got me reflecting on personal habits and how to improve for

the new year. To that end, my New Year’s resolutions are to exercise four times a week, make healthier choices when dining out, smoke fewer cigarettes, and drink only two units of alcohol per week. Once Tiffany has implemented these lifestyle changes I believe she’ll be so much the better for it. I have none for myself because I’m flawless— oops, I mean flaw-full. No, what I meant was falafel. Actually, I’ll have a burrito. Tiffany, pass me the tequila.” –Miss B in The Miss Behave Gameshow at Bally’s “I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. My resolutions happen on a daily basis because I constantly fight my demons. I have bad habits like everybody else and I work at getting rid of them every day. I don’t wait until one special day. It is a continuous process. So I start every day with purpose, gratitude and the desire to spread more kindness. I make sure I commit to excellence, I am good to others, and continue to grow as a person.
52 12.31.17 LasVegasMagazine.com
I remember to be grateful to all the people who are part of my life, and to keep working towards all my personal and professional goals while not taking life and myself too seriously.” –David Goldrake, David Goldrake: Imaginarium at Tropicana “I resolve to make only one resolution this year so I know I can keep it. And, that resolution is to only make one New Year’s resolution. Oh, you don’t like that one? OK fine, I’ll make a real resolution: I resolve to learn to keep my mouth shut onstage.” –Terry Fator at The Mirage “I don’t do resolutions. Instead, I gather with my family and friends and we write a ‘wish list’ of 10 genuine ‘wants’ for ourselves and our families in the new year. As a group, we place the wishes in the fire as we pray and send positivity into the universe that these wishes will come true.” –Matt Goss at The Mirage

Silvia Silvia
“My New Year’s resolution this year is to take time to breathe! Live in the moment. No regrets. Love yourself. Spend quality time with the people who are dear to me. Live, laugh, love. And, remember … don’t sweat the small stuff … it’s all small stuff.” –Jennifer Romas, creator of Sexxy at Westgate Las Vegas “2017 has been the most incredible year for us. Launching our very own show on the Vegas Strip is beyond our wildest dreams. We’ve realized that Las Vegas is not only the world’s capital of live entertainment but also an incredible city with a huge heart. It’s been a tough end to the year for Vegas, but the strength the city has shown has inspired us hugely. Our New Year’s resolution is to keep rocking the Strip and to firmly cement our place here in Las Vegas. Here’s to another incredible year, and long live rock ’n’ roll!” –Tenors of Rock, Harrah’s “Since Magic Mike Live opened I’ve loved every minute of it! But starting a new job in a new city, I think it’s really easy to get caught up in focusing so hard on work and forgetting about really taking care of yourself and maintaining a sound mind. For
2018, I really want to be proactive about taking all of the little trips and doing the activities that I’ve been thinking about doing since I moved to Las Vegas. We keep hustling and focusing on our careers, but then we realize a whole year has gone by and we haven’t done any of the things we’ve wanted to experience for ourselves. Even if it’s just a hike out in Red Rock, I think a little change in perspective never hurts to activate that reset button on your way of life to help you have a solid, fulfilled year.” –David Terry, Magic Mike Live at Hard Rock Hotel “In the new year, I resolve to reduce my intake of the barrage of daily political coverage and engage in healthier ‘extracurricular activities.’ In other words, less news, more screws!” –Edie, Zumanity by Cirque du Soleil at New York-New York “My New Year’s resolution is to be a kinder person in all my interactions with friends and strangers. And to be much healthier, limiting myself to only one dozen donuts for breakfast and no more than seven extra-large cheese pizzas per week.” –Dirk Arthur, Dirk Arthur: Wild Magic at Westgate Las Vegas

It’s wonderful to be there. It’s certainly a thrill, guaranteed to raise a smile. Sit back and let the evening go.

In addition to a phenomenal singing career, Celine Dion can now add fashion icon | BY MATT KELEMEN Celine Dion reached a new level of superstardom in 2017, a year that found her emerging from bereavement to greet the public as a new independent woman. Her powerful rendition of “My Heart Will Go On” at May’s Billboard Music Awards still had critics buzzing as they composed year-end highlight lists, and retrospectives of Titanic Titanic’s ’s 20th anniversary led to a newfound respect for the film’s end credits song among cultural observers. She became a symbol of age inclusivity in fashion, released her own handbag collection, and rounded out the year by entering the recording studio in Vegas and preparing to resume her Céline residency at the Colosseum. Dion also returned to her soundtrack roots by recording “How Does a Moment Last Forever” this year for Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast,, 16 years after her duet with Beast Peabo Bryson on the theme from Disney’s 1991 animated version. The latter song, chosen for her to record by her late husband René Angélil, broke the Quebec native into the English-
56 12.31.17 LasVegasMagazine LasVegasMagazine.com .com
speaking market. Angélil was also the first person to recognize that “My Heart Will Go On,” first played for Dion by composer James Horner on a piano in a suite at Caesars Palace, could launch Dion into superstardom. Recording “How Does a Moment Last Forever” was a career landmark for a different reason. Dion had a hard time deciding to record it, as it reminded her of Angélil’s involvement with the decision to record the 1991 theme. She went ahead with it and had been included both Beauty and the Beast songs in her most recent Colosseum sets. She also released Un peu de nous, nous, a French-language compilation album based on her live sets, which stayed at the top of France’s sales chart for four weeks. Dion ended the year recording new material in Vegas at Studio at the Palms with producer Stephan Moccio, the co-writer of her hit “A New Day Has Come.” Dion’s day as a fashion icon has definitely come. Under the guidance of stylist Law Roach, Dion began sporting creations by top designers and making
big splashes at red carpets and awards shows. She partnered with Canada’s Bugati to create her own fashion line, with handbags, luggage and accessories designed for collections with musically inspired names such as the Vibrato, Pizzicato, and Cavatina Collections. She ended her year in fashion by teaming up with Nordstrom for a holiday promotional video, altering lyrics to “The Christmas Song” (“Chestnuts roasting in my new handbag.”) while showing off a handbag from her Octave Collection. Most recently it was announced that French filmmaker Valérie Lemercier signed on to direct (and possibly star in) the first official biopic of Dion, from her beginnings as an adolescent with a preternatural singing talent to the star she is today. Meanwhile, fans can count on catching up with Celine in Céline through June at the 4,300-seat Colosseum, where she’ll dazzle in designs by Atelier Versace, Schiaparelli, Elie Saab and Mugler, and demonstrate why she was born to be a star with every singing performance.

Bold Satisfaction 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 large 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.
Photo by Peter Harasty
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 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.

One of the more unique steaks featured on Ramsay’s menu might be the American Kobe rib cap, an 8-ounce selection boasting ribeye flavor with a velvety texture you would normally find in a filet. The Royal long-bone chop comes in at 32 ounces. Wow. Rounding out the entrées are fish and chips—with loup de mer and truffle fries—lobster Wellington and braised short ribs. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff
