Around the Strip Brock Radke is an award-winning entertainment reporter who has been covering the city since 2000, and interviews key movers and shakers on his All The Vegas podcast, available at allthevegas.com.
Magic Evolution One of the world’s most popular and successful illusionists is closing out a 10-year run this fall, but Criss Angel has already announced his next step. After Mindfreak Live concludes at Luxor in October (where you can still catch the show Wednesday through Sunday), the acclaimed magician will begin an all-new, upgraded version of the show at Planet Hollywood Resort in December.
“For the last 10 years this show has been the best-selling magic show in the world, not just Las Vegas, and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to do this. But it’s time to close this chapter and go on to the next phase,” Angel told me just before announcing his new project. “I’ve been working on this new material for 20 years and it’s time for a new chapter.”
All The Vegas Mike Minor “To be able to work with chefs who say, ‘Pack your (stuff), we’re going to Mexico for two weeks to travel through as many regions as we can to see and eat all this food,’ that’s what makes them pioneers. That’s why Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken are at the forefront of Mexican food. We didn’t eat out at restaurants. We traveled all day, city to city, and hit the streets because the philosophy is that’s where the heart of food and culture is, on those streets and at all those taco stands. That’s what Border Grill is. That’s why you can come into an amazing casino like Mandalay Bay and get this really authentic Mexican meal.” For the complete conversation with Border Grill Executive Chef Mike Minor, visit allthevegas.com.
Santana photo by Maryanne Bilham
If you caught one of Stevie Wonder’s five shows this month at Park Theater, you probably fall into the consensus category that would love to see the Motown music legend return to the Strip for an extended residency. The Stevie Wonder Song Party thrilled audiences every night, but the Aug. 4 concert included a special guest: Percussion icon and pop star Sheila E., who brought her family to the show and sat in on drums for a bit. Speaking of legends, the great Carlos Santana and the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay announced an extension of his musical residency into 2019. Santana is back on the HOB stage this fall and now he’s planning six shows in January and two in February, marking the seventh year of the blockbuster Vegas jam session. Model and swimsuit designer Nazanin Mandi is also known as fiancé to R&B star Miguel, but after the wild bachelorette party weekend she just wrapped up, Mandi might be considered a true Vegas party princess. After checking into a Mandalay Bay room filled with balloons and white roses from her husband-to-be, Mandi and crew took in Magic Mike Live at the Hard Rock Hotel, partied at Light Nightclub and recovered quickly enough for a stop at Daylight Beach Club for some rosé in a private bachelorette bungalow. That’s how you Vegas, ladies. Aug. 7 was special for Matt Goss, who celebrated his 100th show at 1 Oak at The Mirage by receiving a Key to the Las Vegas Strip and the proclamation of Aug. 8 as Matt Goss Day.

A Night of Hits
Singer takes fans on a journey through the favorites The massive Zappos Theater on the Las Vegas Strip is home to musical residencies from some of pop music’s biggest stars (Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez and Backstreet Boys, to name a few), but there’s only one true legend in this room. Lionel Richie is back at the Planet Hollywood venue this month. His crowd-pleasing production All The Hits has been electrifying Vegas audiences for more than two years, and while it’s a relatively stripped-down experience compared to the other spectaculars presented in this theater, Richie has everything he needs. “I’m in that blessed category because I don’t need the dancers and all the stuff in-between, I just need the next song,” said the 69-year-old singer and songwriter. “My biggest problem is it’s

guaranteed someone is going to leave saying, ‘I can’t believe they didn’t play (something).’ There was a point in my life when all we had to do was worry if we had enough music to play one hour of our songs only. If you’ve got that, you’ve got yourself an opportunity to have a career.” And what a career it’s been for Richie, who broke out in the late ’60s with funk-soul outfit the Commodores and went solo in 1982. His sophomore solo album Can’t Slow Down, released the following year, broke records and dominated charts and radio play for years with memorable tunes like “All Night Long,” “Stuck On You” and “Hello.” Richie packs many of his solo hits into his show but digs deeper for earlier tracks as well,
turning the venue into a throwback dance party and cutting back and forth between romantic ballads. It’s a concert only one legend could provide, full of musical touch points that resonate with fans of all ages. “That’s what it’s about. You don’t go to see (Bob) Dylan with dancers; he’s going to tell you a story. You’re looking for the character and the flavor,” he said. “Everything doesn’t have to be boom-bam-boom.” Richie recently announced the final dates for his Vegas show, nine performances set for Oct. 3-20. This is one Strip resident you can’t afford to miss. –Brock Radke Planet Hollywood Resort, 8 p.m. Aug. 21, 24-25 & 28, starting at $59 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Moving and Grooving Face it. They’re faceless. Facial expressiveness should not be expected while experiencing the artistry of Jabbawockeez during Jreamz: Journey Within. The purposeful facelessness only heightens the sensations you’ll feel. Sleek choreography peppered with gravity-defying break dancing frames a tableau of music, 3-D video projections and audience interaction. Our blank-faced, blackclad imps move silently through their animated antics set to an eclectic soundtrack. Projections whisk audience members into the far reaches of imagination. Jreamz’s plot involves the character of PJ as a zombie—a metaphor for a fellow living a mundane life. As the atmospherics pour forth, the zombie is encouraged by fellow Jabbas to bust some moves and awaken to the joys of a zesty life. And as an announcer informs us at the climax: “Choose life. Whatever you do, don’t be a zombie.” –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

A New Love Ella Mai never expected “Boo’d Up” to be a hit. The British R&B singer has released three EPs since 2016, and her most recent, Ready, was already being promoted with the single “Anymore.” But audiences and radio and club DJs latched on to the sweet, playful “Boo’d Up” instead, making it into a wordof-mouth hit that eventually climbed into the top 10 on the Billboard singles charts. In an era of carefully crafted release patterns for pop music, Mai found success the old-fashioned way, by recording a song that resonated with listeners, independent of what record labels and streaming services promoted. The song has even gone viral among fellow hiphop stars, with T-Pain, Fabolous and Fetty Wap releasing their own remixes, and Nicki Minaj and Quavo appearing on the song’s official remix. She’s already capitalizing on that unexpected success, with two new singles (“Naked” and “Trip”) released from her debut full-length album, which is due out in the fall. “Boo’d Up” is just the beginning. –Josh Bell

guy. Literally, it’s not a crowd. That’s a dude. And I was so mad that guy stayed. If he would have left we all could have gone home. But since he stayed, I was like, “F*ck. I gotta do a set for this dude. This sucks. I feel like a f*cking stripper.” This was my younger days in comedy so I had to do it. I think the way you present material, even when using strong language, is done in the least offensive way possible. I don’t try to do that. It’s just how I am. I don’t feel right doing certain things, but I laugh at them. I used to love Andrew Dice Clay. That stuff is great, but I couldn’t pull that off. You learn as you go along in comedy what you can and can’t do.
John Caparulo
From ‘Chelsea Lately’ to the Las Vegas comedy stage Meet Cap—no, it’s not just the part of the title of John Caparulo’s first comedy album and special; it’s an invitation for audiences every Thursday through Saturday at Harrah’s, where the 42-year-old Midwestern comic headlines The Comedy Lineup. The thoughtful, blue collar joker is most well-known for his quirky takes on current events as a panelist on the former E! Network talk show Chelsea Lately. Las Vegas Magazine’s Jason Harris caught up with Cap. How many years have you been performing in Las Vegas? The first place I did was the Riviera. I was an

opener the first time, then I was a middle, then I was a headliner. We did 14 shows a week. It was unbelievable. I did the Riv for a few years, probably till about 2005-’06. In 2009, South Point started calling me. I started there doing Friday and Saturday and within a couple of bookings they added a Sunday. I started doing that place too much. But, still, it was a great time. I loved the audiences but it was a more local audience. I recorded a special there and that’s kind of how I got connected with this job. Any good bad-gig stories? I was at the Comedy Store and there was one
Do people still recognize you from your stints on Chelsea Lately? That was the real lift in my career. I started seeing more people come out to my shows on the road. My numbers got lifted up in 2009. We started Chelsea in 2007. I was on the second week and I was one like once a month. It seemed for the first year and a half, that show was underground. We’d do the show and have a lot of fun. I feel like I did well on the show but wondered, “Is anybody really watching this?” We didn’t really know. And then all of a sudden, it became a national phenomenon. It was huge. I just thought it was this show on basic cable and maybe you see it and maybe you don’t. But once ’09 hit, the numbers were crazy and girls started coming to my shows. Which was big. That’s how I got her (points to his wife). I owe a lot to Chelsea Handler. I really do. I did notice a lot more women and a lot more gay dudes coming to my shows. That’s alright. That’s cool. Even now, that’s still my, “You know him from” credit. I think that’s my biggest TV thing. Are there things in Las Vegas you are looking to do that you have never done before? My daughter loves Shark Reef. She has a stingray friend named Sammy. I keep missing out on that. I really have go to that because I want to check out who she is hanging out with. The first time I came here was 1997 on spring break. We did that thing at The Stratosphere that shoots you way up in the air. Now I get sick just thinking about the fact that I did that.

Rock Is Brewing Brother-and-sister duo Arejay and Lzzy Hale may not have officially launched their career with Halestorm until signing to Atlantic Records in 2005, but they’ve been playing music together since they were barely old enough to hold instruments. Since Halestorm released its selftitled debut full-length album in 2009, the band has been on tour pretty much nonstop, cementing a position as one of the top acts in modern hard rock. Thanks to hits including “I Get Off,” “Love Bites (So Do I),” “Amen” and “Apocalyptic,” Halestorm has been a constant presence on rock radio, which continues with lead single “Uncomfortable” from the band’s just-released fourth album Vicious.
“Hale and company are as adept with hooks as they are with decibels,” All Music said of Vicious, and Classic Rock Magazine called the album “punchy and catchy and generally excellent.” In a time when so-called rock bands are increasingly downplaying guitars in favor of dance-oriented synths, Halestorm manages to make pop-friendly, hook-filled music without sacrificing heaviness or musicianship, no small feat these days. “You can’t make everyone happy and we’re not going to,” guitarist Joe Hottinger told the Associated Press before the release of Vicious. Judging by their ever-growing fan following, though, the people they’re making happy are the ones who count. –Josh Bell

Most comedians primarily use social media for self-promotion and to entertain followers. Chris D’Elia is one such comedian—except for one key difference: Unlike the majority of his colleagues, D’Elia has refused to erect that figurative one-way mirrored wall that keeps Joe Public at bay. A quick scroll of D’Elia’s Twitter feed reveals just how much he enjoys engaging with both fans and trolls—especially the latter, whom he often relentlessly and viciously (yet comically) eviscerates in 280-characters-or-less spurts. About the only thing more refreshing than D’Elia taking a sledgehammer to that aforementioned one-way mirrored wall is that he stands by every single word he posts, as emphasized in a pinned tweet last month: “I’m not sorry for any of the jokes I’ve ever made in my life. I don’t give a (bleep) what you think about it. Figure your own (bleep) out if your feelings are hurt.” Suffice to say, the same sentiment applies to the man’s stand-up act. You’ve been warned! –Matt Jacob

Life is all about attitude. Well, when you eat at Dick’s Last Resort (Excalibur, 702.597.7991), you’ll get a whole lot of life served up. A sarcastic attitude is one of its hallmarks, along with giant portions of chicken tenders, wings and even a couple of sort-of-good-for-you things.

Edge Steakhouse
What Lies Inside
Restaurant lounges that deserve extra attention Plenty of bars and lounges populate Las Vegas, but we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that some pretty awesome bars are actually inside some great restaurants. Be it the design and décor or the cocktail program, these venues have that extra something special. Down a hall of restaurants, you’ll find Edge Steakhouse at Westgate Las Vegas. The bar is the first thing you’ll come across when entering—park it there. The few seats here are coveted because of the old-school bartender charm, that speakeasy New York vibe, dimly lit, seductive ambience and some smooth, tasty barrel-aged cocktails. Cocktails are just as coveted as the food at Libertine Social at Mandalay Bay. In fact, chef

Shawn McClain partnered with world-renowned mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim in creating the venue, and together they presented food and drink (equally impressive) that wows diners. Speaking of wowing guests, don’t miss Picasso at Bellagio. Sit at the cozy bar and cast your eyes on original Pablo Picasso paintings, including two huge pieces mounted in the bar area. Tao restaurant and nightclub at The Venetian has long been a staple for the nightlife elite, but for a more mellow, less-crowded evening, check out the bar area, which is complete with a bit of bohemian, Far East decadence. If you’re seeking more old-school charm, another bar fits the bill perfectly—Oscar’s at The Plaza. The downtown venue honors former
Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman, and his cool, snazzy-snappy demeanor carries over into the restaurant’s bar area. Here, bartenders don the classic bartender uniform and dole out drinks and discussions reminiscent of Vegas’ heyday. At Mr Chow at Caesars Palace, guests can hang at the bar’s expansive space indoors, or take it outdoors to one of two patios for cocktails and views of the property’s well-manicured pools. (One of the balconies is set aside for sparking up a stogie.) And for some down-home fun, hit up Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill at Harrah’s. Kick up those boots at the guitar-shaped bar and bask in the Southern charm while listening to bands churn out country music hits. –Kiko Miyasato

a experience Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar serves up classic cocktails and rich dishes What do Chicago and Las Vegas have in common? They are without a doubt two of the top destinations in the country when it comes to steakhouses. If you’ve spent time in both cities, you’ve probably eaten at Swift & Sons, Gene & Georgetti, Morton’s and Chicago Cut in the Windy City, and made the rounds at Strip standards like Prime, Craftsteak and Stripsteak in Vegas. Now these two capitals of cuisine have come together in a new and utterly delicious way. A collaboration between MGM Resorts International and Chicago’s Hogsalt Hospitality has planted a Vegas version of Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar—definitely a top chophouse pick on any list of Chicago’s elite eateries—at the recently renovated resort known as

Park MGM. But there are no obvious characteristics of either city at this restaurant, nor does the new Bavette’s limit itself to steakhouse traditions. There are enough classic elements inside to make it feel familiar, but it’s too fresh and lively to remind you of anything you’ve seen or tasted before. The understated entrance from the casino floor makes you feel like you’ve discovered a secret speakeasy. The classy foyer is French country meets leather-and-wood library. The long, sleek dining room

glows under golden chandeliers and Tiffany lamps, complemented by a jazzy soundtrack. And don’t get us started on the bar hidden at the back of the room. From the moment you first step inside Bavette’s, you’ll be making plans to return again and again. The central bar offers the ultimate whiskey selection, a variety of intriguing takes on the old-fashioned and the martini, and an educated offering of classic cocktails like the gimlet and the lion’s tail. Once you have drink in hand, you may want to start your meal with a massive blue crab cake with preserved lemon and remoulade, a spicy peppered duck and goat cheese terrine or decadent steak tartare with a slowcooked egg. Every item on the menu sounds incredibly tasty, so let your cravings take control. Check out the bacon-roasted tomato salad with watercress and herb salt, or the smoked salmon Caesar with crispy potatoes. If you’re not in the mood for a juicy steak, you’ll be tempted by a prime rib French dip coated in Gruyère, a griddled cheeseburger to which you can add thickcut bacon and a fried egg, or Bavette’s spiced fried chicken with mashed potatoes and cipollini onion gravy. Fresh oysters and regal chilled seafood platters are ready for larger groups looking to celebrate any occasion, while a simple steak frites—an expertly charred and sliced 10-ounce prime ribeye with handcut French fries—might serve as the perfect dinner for one at the bar. The recommended main attraction is a 22-ounce, 42-day dry-aged bone-in ribeye, a steak of unmatched richness. But don’t let it stop you from pairing up with the ideal side dishes, perhaps a bacon and sour cream-loaded baked potato or creamed spinach with blue cheese and caramelized onions. Truffle mac and cheese, and charred Brussels sprouts with Parmesan are fabulous, too. And the fun continues at dessert, where you’ll have to choose between a hot fudge sundae, towering lemon meringue pie or spiced carrot cake. Take your time with your customized feast. You’ll want to linger here for as long as possible.

Melissa Forgea
Manager finds a slice of success on the Strip Melissa Forgea has spent her whole career in the food and beverage industry, but it’s working as the restaurant and bar manager at Giordano’s at The Grand Bazaar Shops at Bally’s that she’s truly proud of. “Everyone loves coming to Las Vegas,” said the California native. “And to manage a restaurant on the famous Las Vegas Strip, it’s just surreal.” Before she moved to Vegas, Forgea worked in restaurants around her hometown, making her way up from hostess, server and bartender to supervisor and management. It was at TGI Fridays that she first earned her management title. “The company gave me the information and knowledge that I needed to pursue management,” she said. After about five years

she needed a change of scenery, so in 2015 she moved to Vegas, transferring to a TGI Fridays in the suburbs. She eventually went on to manage several locations around the valley and near the Strip. By 2017, “I needed a new challenge, and I found Giordano’s,” she said. She’s been with the restaurant for almost a year, and couldn’t be happier. “I oversee the entire restaurant,” Forgea said. “The bar is my baby, though. … Working here, I’m 110 percent being heard and appreciated. I love the guest interaction. I love being a problem solver, whether it’s with the staff or guests. “When I first moved to Las Vegas, I made it a goal to one day work on the Strip,” she said, smiling. “And here I am.” –Kiko Miyasato
It has to be said that this writer gets to try a lot of different cocktails as part of the ongoing Friends With Benefits section. That being said, the Chili Mango Margarita is one of the best cocktails in the city. Grabbing a slice of the Chicago-style pizza at Girodano’s is a treat, but even if you’re not in the mood to eat, pay a visit to at least try this margarita, recently created by Forgea. The frozen margarita is blended with El Jimador tequila, triple sec, mango purée, margarita mix and dashes of Valentina Mexican chili seasoning with a chilirimmed glass. Seriously, delicious! –KM

MJ Live brings King of Pop back into our midst 38 8.19.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
If there were a way to measure Michael Jackson’s continuing popularity nine years after his passing, the atmosphere on any given night at MJ Live is a good indication. Nearly every seat is filled inside the Stratosphere Theater, with children decked out in fedoras and spangled gloves dancing next to their parents’ tables. The audience is assured in a video introduction that they’re attending a performance of “the No. 1 Michael Jackson show in the world,” a statement that sets the bar high in a city closely associated with the King of Pop.
Stratosphere, 7 p.m. daily, $59.95-$97.56 VIP booth plus tax and fee. 702.380.7777
MJ Live offers fans their own personal Neverland for an evening, and from the opening snatches of “Dangerous” that launch the show, most everyone is enthralled and smiling. It’s almost as if the idea of Jackson is enough to make people happy, but it’s up to entertainers such as Jalles Franca, the MJ one recent night, to inhabit Jackson’s persona—from several eras—and sustain the illusion. By the time Franca is in full effect and the three-piece band is rocking out on “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” the indication from the crowd response is that the fans on hand are impressed and willing to suspend disbelief. There’s definitely no other show in Las Vegas where a singer decked out like his Badera, leather-bound hero does Jackson-style dance moves in such close proximity to the folks at the front tables. Eight backup dancers, four male and four female, heighten the excitement with precision choreography and thematic synchronicity to songs such as “Dirty Diana” and “Black or White.” A live drummer, guitarist and keyboardist re-create Jackson’s music on stage, giving the show an organic feel that a prerecorded soundtrack wouldn’t provide.
While Franca thanks the audience profusely for the existence of the show, the pressure is on for he and his fellow MJs to maintain the momentum. Jackson’s dance moves must be executed convincingly, as must his emotive deliveries from non-dance tracks such as “She’s Out of My Life” and “Human Nature.” Oversized afros are donned as MJ Live transports back to the Jackson 5 years for “ABC” and “I’ll Be There,” while gangster wear and zombie attire mark “Smooth Criminal” and “Thriller,” respectively. Franca’s homage to Jackson’s gravitydefying lean is a highlight, garnering gasps from the crowd. Reactions can be so enthusiastic that it seems as if some people on hand came to Las Vegas mainly for a Michael Jackson tribute. The Stratosphere offers an MJ Live “Thrill Package” that includes a buffet visit and a thrill ride at the top of the casino-hotel’s tower, but for many visitors there’s enough thrill in seeing “Man in the Mirror” and “Billie Jean” re-created live, fronted by performers that both move the crowd and move through the crowd. Jackson’s spirit is alive and well at MJ Live, where his popularity remains as strong as ever.

Primal Water explores its theme as it spotlights Japanese Contemporary art By Matt Kelemen Water is the source of life in the desert, and the inspiration for 14 Japanese artists featured in Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art’s latest exhibition, Primal Water. Works by four generations of post-World War II artists were chosen by curator Midori Nishizawa, who sought to highlight the various ways— literal, philosophical, poetic and spiritual—water can be expressed through art. Paintings, photography, video and installations offer visitors different perspectives on their relationships to water in a climate where it is most precious as well as provide an introduction to, or expand their knowledge of, Japanese Contemporary art. “Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it,” reads a quote by Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu in an exhibition statement. Resisting being drawn into Sadamasa Motonaga’s Red and Yellow (1963), a fluid explosion of colors that greets guests as they enter the gallery, is futile as well. Motonaga was a significant figure in the avant-garde Gutai art movement, which sought in part to take abstract art to the next level and was fueled by the optimism of Japan’s postwar reconstruction years. Artists such as Motonaga confronted the totalitarian conformist culture of the past with new techniques, as in this case where he painted onto a tilted canvas and attached pebbles to create tactile contrast. Motonaga’s work can also be seen in the lobby of

Photos by Paul Stocum
Aria. Work (Water) is an installation made of polyethylene, water, dye and rope originally made for a 1956 Gutai exhibition in Japan. Within the gallery, Yasuaki Onishi’s installation Vertical Emptiness is the most awe-inspiring. Created by hanging mesquite trees upside down and dripping heated glue over the branches, then crystallizing the glue with a spray of liquid urea, Onishi creates an upside-down winter scene frozen in time, suspended from the ceiling in the center of one of the gallery’s two rooms. Onishi’s installation is contrasted by his Plate of Phenomena 14FI, which uses glue and graphite on wooden panels to create a texture that looks like black lava. In the adjoining room, Yayoi Kusama’s Portrait of Arthur Rimbaud is set in front of Infinity Nets (Dedicated to Arthur Rimbaud), a large canvas consisting of a vivid fluorescent pinkand-black checkered pattern, creating a visually stimulating background for
the sculpture of the French poet. Noe Aoki uses colorful stacked soaps for the two-piece Water in the Air, which looks similar to Ugo Rondinone’s Seven Magic Mountains large-scale public work installed 10 miles south of the Strip off of I-15. There are many more notable artists including photographer Shöji Ueda, whose surreal photographs of his family at Japan’s Tottori Sand Dunes are represented. There will also be pieces created during the exhibition, which runs through Oct. 29, by the gallery’s first artist-in-residence. Kisho Mwkaiyama has started work on Vendarta 100: Six Elements and the Seasons, a series of 24 3-foot-by-3-foot canvases that use 50 layers of paint and represent the six elements in Buddhist philosophy. Mwkaiyama, a practicing monk, refers to the style as “aesthetic Buddhism,” and after Primal Water closes, the canvases will be part of MGM Resorts’ permanent collection.

Keeping It Unreal Is there a better possible double bill in hard rock than Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson (MGM Grand, 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster)? The two defined theatrical heavy metal in the 1990s, and both of them have demonstrated far greater longevity and creativity than any of their critics would have ever given them credit for. Both have developed into mature artists while retaining the over-the-top flourishes that defined their early careers.
Zombie started as frontman for heavy metal band White Zombie (“Thunder Kiss ’65,” “More Human Than Human”), and after the group’s members went their separate ways in 1998, Zombie launched an even more successful solo career, bringing his horror-influenced metal to hits including “Dragula,” “Living Dead Girl,” “Demon Speeding” and others. Manson courted controversy in his early releases, with confrontational songs like
Entertainment Dining Marketplace Nightlife Gaming Shopping Health & Beauty Attractions Resources Out & About
“The Beautiful People,” “The Dope Show,” “Antichrist Superstar” and his take on “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” and he’s continued pushing the envelope on recent albums, including 2017’s Heaven Upside Down. Like Zombie, he’s likely to play a mix of hits and newer material, and the two performers may just try one-upping each other in their stage productions in Vegas Aug. 25. They really do make a perfect pairing. –Josh Bell

Time for a Fiesta Chef Bobby Flay knows a thing or two about cooking—he’s one of the most successful faces to grace the Food Network. His Mesa Grill (Caesars Palace, 702.731.7731) has been open since 2004, serving up Southwestern-style cuisine. Many dishes are vegetarian-friendly, such as the roasted corn soup. Creamy spoonfuls are accentuated by smoked chile crema and a smattering of blue corn tortilla chips. Mesa spreads present a take on chips and salsa that is so much better. Thick, puffy masa triangles have a bit of crispiness on the exterior while the interior is softer, like a tamale—perfect with crushed avocado and cucumber-jicama relish. The ricotta cheese with red chile pipián salsa will have you returning until every bite is gone. –Nina King

Drop Me a Line Fremont Street has been closed to vehicles from Las Vegas Boulevard to Main Street for more than 20 years, but for almost three years it’s been possible to travel from Neonopolis to the Four Queens by zipline. Slotzilla (vegasexperience.com), is a permanent steel-framed structure designed to resemble a slot machine. With two experiences, riders can get all kinds of thrills. 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. Zoomline passengers fly like Superman, wrapped in a safety outfit. The lower level places the rider in an upright, seated position that can rotate, but the upper level is a head-first experience. Now that’s a rush! –Matt Kelemen

ENTERTAINMENT
Rocker for Life
When rock ’n’ roll is in your blood, it’s there to stay. Steven Adler is a hard-rocking lifer who loves being a rock star. It was Adler, who was in separate bands with both Slash and Duff McKagan (Road Crew) and then Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin (Hollywood Rose), who was in some ways the connector in getting this group of dreamers together in what would become one of rock’s biggest-ever bands. By 1987, Adler was a bona fide star as Gun N’ Roses hit the top echelon with Appetite for Destruction. Adler also banged the skins on Lies, GNR’s follow-up, and played on fan favorite track “Civil War” off Use Your Illusion II. He has toured extensively with bands Adler and Adler’s Appetite, because that’s what rock ’n’ roll lifers do. –Jason Harris

Eureka photo by Wade Vandervort
Eureka!, which has a couple dozen locations around the country, doesn’t feel like a chain. The warm, modern-industrial, beer-and-burger-bar vibes are closer to the feels you’ll get from the handful of cool restaurants that surround it. That’s because the food and drinks are stellar. The all-American beer and bourbon selections make for an exciting tasting experience; recent tap selections include Revision Brewing Company’s Double IPA, Founders’ Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale, Odell’s Green Coyote Tomatillo Sour and local fave Able Baker’s Atomic Duck IPA. If you’re pairing your brew with one of Eureka!’s burgers, consider the Fresno Fig with sweet fig marmalade, melty goat cheese, bacon and spicy porter mustard, or the bison burger with bacon-jalapeño jam, grilled peppers and onions and smoked mozzarella. There are other irresistible entrées, from blackened fish tacos with avocado and mango salsa to an au jus steak sandwich with horseradish mustard aioli. The extensive starters menu could also be a beer- or booze-pairing adventure. Osso buco riblets and Polish sausage mini corn dogs are tons of fun, while falafel bites are lighter but still delicious, thanks to tzatziki, feta, pickled red onions, fresh dill and red chimichurri sauce. Shrimp ceviche is served on crisp corn tostadas with mashed avocado, and trendy cauliflower is topped simply with lemon zest, bonito and garlic aioli. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff 520 E.
