on the scene WITH BROCK RADKE
Jeff Dunham
Comedian is always bringing something new to the stage Jeff Dunham, a regular at Caesars Palace, is recognized as comedy’s most prominent ventriloquist after more than a decade. Dunham says Las Vegas is an important stop no matter where he’s been or where he’s headed next. “I never take that for granted. It’s one of the most important places for me because of what it is and where it is and who you’re in front of, that varied audience that you don’t get at your average local venue,” he says. Here’s the rest of my conversation with the global star, who’s back onstage at the Colosseum Aug. 29. You’re doing a 60-city international tour called Passively Aggressive. How do you know when one tour stops and a new one begins? I’ve been doing big arenas for around 10 years now and before that it was 20 years of comedy clubs, and I’ve done eight or nine specials but never really gotten off the road for more than a couple weeks at a time. It’s really one joke at a time. I write a handful of jokes on the tour bus and sprinkle them throughout the show, work on them and keep some, and eventually every few years the entire show turns over. And you tape the new show (for a TV special) and put it on the air. I guess I’m in the middle of that now, so the tour ends when we tape the next special, which could be January or February. Why is Caesars Palace such a special place to play? The guys that book that room are very careful. You go through that hallway and look at the posters on the wall and it’s like, wow, wow, wow. And that stage is special to me because of Edgar Bergen, who was probably the most famous ventriloquist we’ve ever had ... and his very last show was at Caesars Palace. He announced his retirement and said, “Every good
12 8.26.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
vaudeville act has an opening and a closing, and it’s time to pack my friends and say goodbye.” He died in his sleep that night. It doesn’t get more poetic than that. I met him one time. There are plenty of pitchers or quarterbacks you can look up to as a young baseball player or football player, but not many iconic ventriloquists. You filmed your last special, Relative Disaster, in Dublin. Why Ireland? I had done a handful of shows in the U.K. and Ireland recently and those audiences were just the best comedy audiences anywhere we went. There are crazy and great comedy audiences everywhere, but some of the biggest laughs we got with that show were in Dublin, so why not? And when it comes to politics, they know our politics better than we do, but they’re not emotionally involved. You introduced a new character in that special, the crude Irish infant Seamus. How difficult is it to create new characters, especially when you have so many that are so beloved that you’ve been using for such a long time? Yeah, that’s true. As odd as it sounds, we are a team. I know
these guys so well. I do have to think in multiple personalities. If I’m a good comedy writer, I can have one question to ask each character and they’ll each have a different joke for that question. I really have to know them inside and out. The latest character is the personal advisor to Donald Trump in the White House. With politics now, it’s difficult to make political jokes without picking sides. It’s a tough tap dance for comics. I try to stay down the middle as much as possible because I want everyone to have as much fun as possible.
You’ve walked that line before with other material, like with your character Achmed the Dead Terrorist. Yeah. I remember talking to Jeff Foxworthy when he started doing the stuff about “You might be a redneck,” and there were people saying he might be offending a lot of his audience with this. But what Foxworthy said was that the audience, those people don’t think you’re making fun of them, they think you’re making fun of the people in the trailer next door to them. And now the redneck thing is celebrated.

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.
Passionate Comedy George Lopez has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has been named one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America in Time magazine and selected as one of the Top 10 Favorite Television Personalities by the Harris Poll. Through all the accolades, the one thing that matters most is how
much he makes us laugh. Lopez, who returns to the Aces of Comedy series stage at The Mirage Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, has maintained a fierce focus on stand-up recently, burning down theaters across the country with a tour behind recent special The Wall. This is an onstage artist operating at his peak, so catch him if you can.
Solid Sounds It’s been a big hometown week for Seattle grunge-rock legends Alice in Chains. The band presided over a special pop-up shop and retrospective at beloved music venue the Crocodile, culminating in the release of new album Rainier Fog on Aug. 24, and before all of that, the Seattle Mariners held Alice in Chains night at Safeco Field. The groundbreaking guitar-based crew wrapped up the festivities with a performance at the White River Amphitheatre, kicking off a new leg of a headlining tour that brings Alice in Chains to the Pearl at the Palms on Sept. 1. It’s clear this is one hard-rock outfit that is determined to live up to the name of its new single, “Never Fade.”

Aerosmith is coming to Vegas. The legendary rock band will launch its Deuces Are Wild residency at Park Theater at Park MGM in April featuring never-before-seen visuals and audio from recording sessions. Additional dates are scheduled in June and July of 2019. One of the Strip’s most popular Mexican restaurants, Diablo’s Cantina, is making a comeback. Originally at Monte Carlo and operated by the Light Group and now owned by MGM Resorts International, Diablo’s returns to the Strip in December at Luxor, taking the second-floor space of Tacos & Tequila, which is set to close on Nov. 25. Fresh off the release of his third hip-hop album Astroworld, Travis Scott returned to his Las Vegas Strip nightclub residency at Marquee at The Cosmopolitan, but he didn’t come alone. His big night also served as a follow-up birthday party for partner Kylie Jenner, who turned 21 on Aug. 10. She marked her legal status the Vegas way from a VIP booth at Marquee while Scott rocked the club, which also saw a visit from Stevie Wonder after his concert at Park Theater. One of the city’s standout singers is returning to your TV screen. Daniel Emmet, the pop-opera voice you might know from The Cocktail Cabaret at Caesars Palace’s lounge Cleopatra’s Barge, is back on the current season 13 of America’s Got Talent on Aug. 28 after being previously cut by judge Simon Cowell. Find out if Emmet can follow in the footsteps of Terry Fator and Mat Franco, two AGT champs headlining on the Strip.

A New Beginning
Singer feels free as a butterfly in new residency After more than a year away from Caesars Palace, Mariah Carey has returned to the Colosseum with a second residency: The Butterfly Returns. The new show is inspired, in name at least, by Carey’s 1997 album Butterfly, which came out when she had liberated herself from her marriage to Tommy Mottola and his vision for her music. Similarly, in 2016, Carey once again liberated herself by ending her engagement with Australian billionaire James Packer, then shook up her management team. Emancipated once more, she was excited for a fresh start. Carey’s sophomore Caesars Palace residency includes songs that didn’t necessarily hit No. 1 but are loved by her “lambs” (devoted fans). “I’m
going to have more freedom with the set list and be interactive, and see what songs they really want to hear,” she said on Jimmy Kimmel Live in June. That could mean the addition of No. 2s such as “Shake It Off,” “Can’t Let Go,” and “Loverboy.” Covers including her 1994 No. 3 hit “Without You/Never Forget You” and Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is” could be brought into the mix. Songs from her critically acclaimed 2014 album Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse could be played at the Colosseum for the first time. In other words, Carey has the freedom and flexibility to do whatever she wants and fans will definitely see a different show. They have also
participated in deciding which songs will be on the set list via Twitter polling. “Can’t Let Go” and “I Still Believe” have made the cut. Carey will be in Las Vegas on Sept. 21 for this year’s iHeartRadio Music Festival, then prepares for her All I Want for Christmas Is You seasonal tour of Europe. Dates in 2019 for The Butterfly Returns at the Colosseum have not been announced yet, but the fluidity of the new residency gives her the option to change it up at will. Lambs who catch her during the next leg of her residency may have the option of coming back next year and hearing a few new favorites, but they can rest assured there will be plenty of No. 1s as well. –Matt Kelemen

Riveting Rhapsody No one can ever replace Freddie Mercury. The late frontman of legendary rock band Queen was one of the greatest vocalists in rock history, and his death in 1991 left his band forever without his voice. Bassist John Deacon retired soon after, but guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor have since dedicated themselves to enhancing the legacy of Queen. The band’s current
incarnation, Queen + Adam Lambert, began with a performance on American Idol in 2009. The chemistry was undeniable from the start, and after further one-off performances together, the group made things official with its first tour in 2012. Since then, Lambert has been the consistent frontman for the band, even while maintaining his own career as a pop singer. –Josh Bell

Coming Back The last time that Billy Corgan, James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin toured together was in December 2000, right before their band The Smashing Pumpkins first broke up. Along with bassist D’arcy Wretzky, Corgan, Iha and Chamberlin founded the seminal altrock band in Chicago in 1988, becoming one of the most popular musical acts of the ’90s, with hits like “1979” and “Tonight, Tonight.” The band’s line-up was volatile even in those early years, and starting in 2005, Corgan returned to using The Smashing Pumpkins name with various other collaborators. But nothing quite captured the chemistry of the original members and in February Corgan announced a reunion (albeit without Wretzky). Joined by longtime Corgan collaborator Jeff Schroeder, the reunited members have been touring extensively. The current Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour focuses on material from the band’s first five albums, with some sets stretching to three hours, incorporating elaborate visual elements and costume changes. –Josh Bell

One thing you might not know about heavy metal pioneers Blue Öyster Cult: They formed in 1967 as Soft White Underbelly, and officially became Blue Öyster Cult in 1971. Now here’s one thing you probably do know: One of their biggest hits, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” was the centerpiece of the classic Saturday Night Live skit in which Christopher Walken plays the song’s producer, who implores Will Ferrell to cure his fever with “more cowbell!” Back to what you don’t know: The song’s actual producer, David Lucas, played the cowbell on the track. –Matt Jacob Green Valley Ranch, 8 p.m. Aug. 31, starting at $29 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 The Smashing Pumpkins photo by AZTEK Incorporated Blue Öyster Cult photo by Doug Sonders

Smash Hits Metalcore band Parkway Drive is poised for mainstream success in the U.S., but the band is already one of the most popular acts in its native Australia. Hard rock has taken a back seat to hip-hop and electronic dance music on the charts in recent years, which makes it all the more impressive when a new act breaks into the higher levels of popularity. For Parkway Drive, that has meant streamlining their sound a little bit, and the band’s most recent album, Reverence, released in May, features more melodic vocals and radio-friendly riffs, while retaining the heavy metal edge of their earlier work. “The band has delivered its most crucial outing to date, one that’s both devastating and galvanizing,” All Music said of Reverence, which hit the top of the album charts in Australia (just as the band’s previous album did), and made it to No. 35 on the Billboard album charts. “We’re stepping up our production and hopefully taking over from the old dogs whenever they hang up the reins,” guitarist Luke Kilpatrick told Total
Guitar about the band’s ascension to hard rock’s upper echelons. “We’ll be there to grab them and take the horses for a ride.” –Josh Bell

Back to His Roots He’s probably best known for his long-running TV series According to Jim, but Jim Belushi is a consummate entertainer who’s been performing consistently onscreen and onstage since the late-’70s. Now Belushi is getting back to his roots—like his older brother John, he started out with Chicago’s legendary Second City improv—with his Board of Comedy troupe at the Tropicana’s Laugh Factory. Belushi got the idea for the Board of Comedy when “I went and saw my son (Rob) doing his improv show and they invited me up, and I was
a little rusty, but I got some laughs. It was fun, and I just thought we should put a company together and do some shows.” And, according to Belushi, it’s never the same show. “We do the same formats, certain games like ‘Make a Broadway play’ or a thing called ‘Debate,’ where we’re getting audience suggestions. And it can change from G to PG-13 to R depending on the venue, but nothing graphic.” –Brock Radke Tropicana, 8:30 & 10:30 p.m. Sept. 1-2, starting at $44.95 plus tax and fee. 800.829.9034

What’s in a Name If ever there was a more appropriate descriptor for a person and his profession, we have yet to find it. First name Cedric, last name “Entertainer”—okay, his birth name is Cedric Antonio Kyles, but that’s not relevant—has it right there in his moniker. The man entertains! He’s an in-demand stand-up comedian whose work was featured in the hit comedy concert The Original Kings of Comedy. He’s had his own sketch comedy show, Cedric the Entertainer Presents. He’s starred in films including the successful Barbershop franchise, Man of the House, Be Cool and Top Five. Then there’s the work Cedric the Entertainer does as a voice actor, supplying personalities to characters in films like Ice Age, Madagascar, Charlotte’s Web and Planes. Did we mention he’s a highly regarded television host? He’s been the presenter on shows such as So You Think You Can Dance (we bet Cedric can!) and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (we bet Cedric is many times over!).
Hard Rock Hotel, 8 p.m. Sept. 1, starting at $55 plus tax and fee. 888.929.7849 AXS
On the sitcom front, Cedric has had his mug splashed across the small screen since he costarred in The Steve Harvey Show more than two decades ago. Since then he was a main
player in The Soul Man and currently he’s one of the stars of The Last O.G. One thing is certain: No matter what Cedric is doing, you can bet it’s entertaining! –Jason Harris

Playing to the Prog-Rock Flock The history of landmark prog-rock band Yes is so expansive that there are currently two different versions of the band touring the world, each with extraordinarily talented musicians whose work was influential in the band’s development. The version of Yes stopping in Vegas this week features singer Jon Anderson (one of the group’s founding members), guitarist Trevor Rabin (the driving force behind the band’s most radio-friendly music in the ’80s) and keyboardist Rick Wakeman (whose various stints in Yes date back to
1971). Among the three of them, they’ve contributed to Yes’ most well-known music, including early albums The Yes Album and Tales From Topographic Oceans. The band’s current tour is dubbed Quintessential Yes: The 50th Anniversary Tour, celebrating the founding of Yes back in 1968, featuring songs from throughout the band’s career. The trio of Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman are also working on a new studio album, set for release next year, which will be the first in 28 years to feature the three members. –Josh Bell
Improv Master Many people recognize Wayne Brady as the current host of Let’s Make a Deal and as a comic on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, but Brady is also an accomplished actor and singer. He even took a turn as Aaron Burr in the Chicago version of the smash musical Hamilton, expanding his repertoire even further. In his comedy show, Brady takes a basic concept or a few words and turns them into an entire skit. Audiences never really know what to expect, except that it will definitely be hilarious. –Penny Levin The Mirage, 10 p.m. Sept. 2, starting at $39.99 plus tax and fee, 16+. 702.792.7777

Bacchanal Buffet keeps the gourmet dishes coming By Jason Harris Since its opening in 2012, Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace has received accolades and acclaim. In some ways, it redefined the Las Vegas buffet experience. The days of over-sauced, dead-weight pasta and heat

lamp-reheated meats were over when Caesars Palace unveiled this upscale all-youcan-eat experience. Now, seven years later, there is still a lot to like at the elegant, impressive Bacchanal Buffet.
At traditional buffets, it’s easy to understand why diners might overlook salad choices. At Bacchanal, get small, appetizing, plated salads. The Caesar salad gets some added zing from the addition of sun-dried tomatoes, and a

crunchy toast point can be broken down into as many croutons as the eater craves. On a recent visit, individual watermelon yukari salads were served featuring two juicy hunks of the fruit topped with the Japanese seasoning. The showcase sections of the buffet usually have some type of meaty centerpiece. The taco station features freshly made carne asada, chicken and al pastor pork street-style tacos. The Italian area has pork and beef meatballs, pizzas, and rotating pastas. Then there’s the famous crab selection, a favorite of Bacchanal enthusiasts. At the Italian station, they serve made-to-order steamed crab. Meanwhile, the impressive seafood sec-
tion has multiple cold crustaceans including snow and Alaskan king crab legs and the juicy meat of Jonah crab claws. Not surprisingly, there is usually a line at the American station, which features freshly carved meats often cooked low and slow with the assistance of apple and peach wood. American wagyu beef, slab bacon, tri-tip and beef brisket all stand in a row with a chef ready to carve to every carnivore’s whim and fancy. While the big-ticket items are eye-catchers, one should not overlook the small plates dispersed throughout the stations. Dishes like individual shepherd’s pies, elk sliders, chicken tamales done Christmas-style with red and
green sauce and an assortment of Chinese dumplings are subtle treasures that await the observant eater. And each of the nine major stations offers at least one vegan dish. A quick tip: Check out the dessert island before chowing down on anything, so the appropriate amount of belly room can be saved for sweets. Freshly made crepes with berry compote and Nutella are a great way to end a meal. The gelato bar features many flavors and a mix of, say, chocolate and blackberry truly hits the spot. For those who don’t like gelato, other decadent options await—coconut macaroons, mango tapioca cups, individual key lime pies, mini pecan pies and strawberry mochis.

Carlos Nino
Bartender keeps in good spirits Carlos Nino’s dad has been a big influence on his career. Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nino’s father worked on the Strip for more than three decades, working his way up from bell captain to director of operations. “I learned from watching him and his personality on how to work hard and how to talk to people,” Nino said. Nino must have absorbed every bit because thus far, Nino himself has enjoyed a successful career on the Strip, currently as a bartender at Vista Cocktail Lounge at Caesars Palace. Before joining the popular lounge, Nino bartended for the past 14 years at some of the city’s hottest clubs, including the city’s first megaclub, Pure, and nightlife giant Hakkasan Group’s various nightclubs and lounges. When Vista opened a few years ago, Nino was tapped to join the team, and so far, he
28 8.26.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
said, it’s a decision he’s very happy with. “It’s a really comfortable, welcoming lounge,” he said. “We get to experiment with different cocktails here—you can get creative.” Nino also works as a sales consultant for a local liquor company, helping to keep his knowledge fresh on the latest spirits and wines. He’s also studying for his sommelier certification. “I love going to wine country and learning about the whole process of winemaking,” he said. Asked if he ever thought he’d follow in his father’s footsteps by working on the famed Las Vegas Strip, Nino said, “Honestly, I never thought that’d I’d be bartending, but it makes sense ’cause I really enjoy talking to new people. I’m very fortunate to say that I bartend at Caesars Palace and I’ve worked at some of the best places in Vegas, too.” –Kiko Miyasato
Perfect to cool down from the summer heat, the refreshing Blueberry Collins is a mix of Absolut Elyx vodka, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, mint, lemon juice and muddled blueberries. Guests can also enjoy drink specials on Don Julio tequila and Mexican beer every Thursday night for Vista’s Latin Nights. The crowd and music keeps the lounge pumping late into the evening. “It’s a good vibe,” Nino said. “We have talented DJs playing good Latin music. There’s a lot of people that come in here to dance. We’ve gotten professional dancers that come, too. It’s a packed, fun night.” –KM

MGM Resorts International offers some of the finest steaks on The Strip
J E A N GE O R GE S S T E A KH O U S E ARIA ® Mouthwatering bites. Unparalleled quality. A modern steakhouse, perfected. The redesigned Jean Georges Steakhouse features an updated menu, tableside carvery and is one of only nine restaurants in the United States authorized to serve Kobe A5, arguably the best beef in the world. World-renowned Three Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has brought fine dining to a new level. Reserve your table today and enjoy cuts of beef from around the world, a seafood selection rivaling the finest fish houses and a top-tier wine list. You’ve never experienced anything like it.
C R A F TS T E A K MGM GRAND ® Top Chef personality Tom Colicchio uses only the finest ingredients to create dishes bursting with flavor. Craftsteak features a variety of cuts, ages and grades of antibiotic-free beef. Complementing the steaks is a delicious selection of mouthwatering sides. The menu features ingredients from small family farms, artisanal producers and day-boat fishermen. And while steak is front-and-center, guests can also find specialties like fresh salmon, veal and lobster to pair with Craftsteak’s award-winning wine, bourbon and Scotch list.
P R I M E ST E A K HO U S E BELLAGIO ® With the opening of the resort in 1998, an era of fine dining was ushered in, and PRIME was one of its original restaurants. Much has changed over the years, but PRIME has remained a stalwart. From its magnificent views of the Bellagio Fountains to its impeccable décor, PRIME exudes the classic steakhouse feel. Highlights include a succulent dry-aged, bone-in ribeye, a robust porterhouse and rich beef short ribs accompanied by fabulous sauces, sides and meticulously selected wines.
Hard work results in the world of Fantasy By Matt Kelemen
The cast members of Fantasy are more dancers who are topless than topless dancers. Superlative skills are as essential as sultriness for the production, as evidenced nightly at the Luxor by the flawlessly executed moves of the Fantasy showgirls. They are a sisterhood that includes powerhouse vocalist/emcee Lorena Peril (and a brother in comedian Sean C. Cooper), but one that for a dancer to join requires an extensive training history and a distinct onstage charisma. It’s a coveted career position for a performing dancer in contemporary Las Vegas, one that’s hard to leave for long—if at all.

Soolin DeMaria has been with Fantasy for nearly eight of its 18 years of existence. She danced at a handful of burlesque shows, including working with Peril at Sin City Bad Girls before joining Fantasy. “This is the only show that I’ve been in this long,” says DeMaria. The San Francisco native says the dancers get together every summer for rehearsals, during which they change two or three numbers. “If you didn’t change the show up every year as dancers you’d be going out of your mind after seven years doing the exact same moves every night, but we do get to change numbers every year and that is a great perk for (working at) Fantasy, and for the customers.” Like most of her coworkers, DeMaria works five or six nights per week and rotates through different roles in each number depending on which set of dancers is onstage. Some numbers are evergreen and will be familiar to returning audience members who recall the sensuous bedroom set or the dramatic dance moves that accompany Peril belting out the lyrics to “Roxanne.” The show added a new opening number and finale last year, choreographed by Mandy Moore (La La Land, Dancing With the Stars), with

the former set to “Me Too” by Meghan Trainor and the latter led by Peril’s rendition of Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling.” Steps for other newer numbers were designed by longtime show producer Anita Mann, who worked with choreographer Jennifer Gagliano on the steps that accompany “Lady Marmalade,” and with company manager Mariah Rivera on Rivera’s steamy solo turn, “You’re My Fantasy.” Change helps minimize turnover and keeps the cast happy, which shows in the smiles that make complex or strenuous dance moves seem effortless. “Fantasy’s been like a family to me, and I know that all of the girls feel the same way,” says DeMaria. Outside of a performing sabbatical in New York City, she’s had little motivation to stray far from the show. “We are pretty close-knit, and it’s a hard show to leave. There’s no reason to. We switch it up—you don’t get bored.” There’s one piece of advice DeMaria has for dancers who would aspire to be Fantasy showgirls, besides taking lots and lots of classes. “If your goal is specifically Vegas, definitely take heels class,” she says. “Because you’ll work those heels in Vegas.”

Melissa Etheridge brings her intimate style to Las Vegas 40 8.26.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
Fremont Street Experience 9 p.m. Aug. 31, free. 702.678.5600
Before the Internet gods gave us YouTube, rock artists—at least those who weren’t fortunate enough to fall feet-first out of the nepotism tree—were discovered the old-fashioned way: by sheer happenstance. Oh, sure, musicianship, hard work, chemistry, tenacity, patience, unwavering confidence— all have long been vital ingredients to success. But without a healthy sprinkling of right-
place, right-time fortuity, many rock acts of yesteryear would labor for years in obscurity until that proverbial “big break” finally tapped them on the shoulder. Sometimes the break would come in the form of an established artist seeing a band perform in a club and taking said band under his wing. Sometimes it would come in the form of a demo tape landing in the hands of
the right DJ, or an influential critic catching a solid set and publishing a positive review in a national magazine. And sometimes it would come in the form of … a recreational women’s soccer team? Such was the source of Melissa Etheridge’s big break. Flashback to early 1980s Los Angeles, where Etheridge landed after dropping out of Berklee College of Music in Boston. Concluding that L.A. was the best place to launch her music career, the Kansas-born singer/songwriter made the rounds at small clubs and bars, slowly cultivating a loyal following. One night, several members of a local women’s soccer team that Etheridge had previously befriended came to see her perform at a Pasadena watering hole called Vermie’s. One of the soccer players was Karla Leopold, who reluctantly joined her teammates, ended up liking what she saw and went home with Etheridge’s demo tape … which she handed it to her husband, Bill … who just happened to be a manager in the music industry. While Etheridge had an instant fan in Karla Leopold, the same couldn’t be said for her husband, for whom the demo tape fell flat. Then Karla convinced Bill to see Etheridge play live, and the rest is, well, you know … 14 studio albums (including Yes I Am, the 1993 breakthrough release that went six-times platinum), 15 Grammy nominations (including two wins), one Best Original Song Oscar nomination (and victory) and countless other commendations for both her artistic contributions and social activism. Now more than three decades removed from that fateful night at Vermie’s, Etheridge endures as one of the most influential and successful female artists in rock history, her voice and sound as recognizable as any in the industry. And she shows no signs of slowing down. Although her last studio album was released in 2014, Etheridge continues to tour extensively, pulling from an eclectic catalog of hits such as “Come to My Window,” “I’m the Only One” and “I Want to Come Over.” It’s onstage where Etheridge’s greatest attribute—at least as a performer—is on full display: the ability to connect with her audience on a seemingly one-on-one level. No matter the city or size of the venue, when Etheridge plugs in, it’s almost as though she transports herself back to her L.A. bar days, waiting to be discovered all over again.

Shakira is back with a career’s worth of hits By MATT KELEMEN Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was five months into preparations for her first tour in seven years last October when she experienced hoarseness in her voice that turned out to be a vocal cord hemorrhage. After five months of rehearsal, and with days to go before its first shows, Shakira regretfully had to postpone a European tour in support of her latest album, 2017’s El Dorado. The Colombian-born, hip-shaking chanteuse told fans her recovery would take weeks, but by Dec. 27 revealed on her website that the injury needed more time to heal. Still, she was optimistic about getting back on the road, assuring that she would be back onstage by June. Shakira, who played the final shows of her last extensive tour in October 2011, did not disappoint. She toured Europe, then brought the El Dorado World Tour west, opening with an Aug. 3 date at Chicago’s United Center. The singer, who first found U.S. pop chart success in 2001 with her No. 1 hit “Whenever, Wherever,” has been kicking off her latest sets by reaching into her past with a medley of “Estoy Aquí” and “Dónde Estás Corazón” from 1995’s Pies Descalzos and the title song from that album before journeying across the breadth of her career. That includes hits from many of her six No. 1 Latin albums as well as a generous helping of songs from El Dorado, with songs such as “Nada,” “Amarillo” and “Me Enamoré” rendered early in the set. Shakira seems to be having a lot of fun with the material on the album, which, like her latest live sets, are primar-
ily sung in Spanish with a few English language compositions mixed in. Several of the new songs are duets, with reggaeton singer Nicky Jam guesting on “Perro Fiel” and fellow superstar Colombian Carlos Vives joining her on “La Bicicleta,” which she has been closing her concerts with. The Montreal Gazette, in a review of Shakira’s Aug. 8 Bell Centre show, reports that both duets were executed with the help pre-recorded video featuring Jam and Vives. Her voice seems to have fully recovered, while her trademark belly dancing moves remain undiminished. She gets time on the drums and guitar as well, but it’s moments like her mash-up of her World Cup anthems “La La La” and “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” and her biggest hit “Hips Don’t Lie” that maximize the adrenalized atmosphere. Time off from touring hasn’t dulled Shakira’s energy whatsoever. She did perform concerts during that time, had two kids, developed fragrances, appeared as a judge on The Voice and provided the voiceover for Gazelle in Disney’s 2016 film Zootopia. The petite powerhouse has been busy but not overworked, and benefits from a streaming music industry that favors singles more than albums. She was able to record whenever, wherever, and still devote time to being a mom. The process invigorated her. Shakira MGM has found her voice again, Grand much to the relief of her 7:30 p.m. global following. Sept. 1, $50.50 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

You’ll Howl
The Wolf is on the prowl and his prey is all who attend his new residency in Las Vegas. The aforementioned canis rufus is Colin Kane (Hard Rock Hotel, 888.929.7849 AXS), the comic who tears audience to pieces verbally and makes them laugh until it hurts. The 38-year-old New York City-born jokester plans on expanding on his past Vegas success with the monthly showcase (this week
on Aug. 31). “Obviously, it’s me doing what I’m doing and just insulting people and making some funny jokes. But it’s got a little more to it than your average show. We’re going to shoot my special in Las Vegas hopefully over the next couple of months,” Kane said. Kane, who attended a Connecticut boarding school, feels that his time there helped develop him for his profession. “You know how guys in
high school can be pretty brutal on each other? You gotta be quick and you gotta have a good comeback. It was kind of training.” And Kane’s got more to offer as a comedian now than in the past. He said, “You evolve as a person so the topics are a little different now. I’m a little funnier, a little wiser. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. You’re always on a journey, evolving. ” –Jason Harris

downtown life Las Vegas offers an endless array of options for whatever you’re in the mood for, and that includes Downtown. To help you get the most out of your time there, our staff has compiled some recommendations—everything from where to eat to what to see.
ENTERTAINMENT
Something to Sing About DINING
The Right Spice
If you’re looking to add some spice to your Vegas vacay, head into Turmeric Flavors of India. The restaurant features two cozy dining spaces, plus a bar, and many delightful, delicious dishes from Indian classics to inventive vegan options. What will you find? Samosas, tandoori chicken korma, butter chicken curry pot, vegan vindaloo curry and kasundi jhinga (shrimp in mango coconut sauce). If you’re like me, you will indulge in several kinds of bread, like aloo parantha and stuffed naan. There’s also plenty of dessert options, from liquor-infused sorbets and ice cream to mango kulfi and apple-cinnamon crumble. –Nina King
700 Fremont St., 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.906.2700
DRINK
Great Combo
Bourbon and rye cocktail connoisseurs need look no further than Oak & Ivy for some of the most delicious concoctions downtown. Try a barrel-aged masterpiece, or have the staff prepare something based on your individual tastes. Answer a few questions and you’ll soon be tasting your new favorite drink. –Ken Miller 707 Fremont St., 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Fri.-Sat. oakandivy.com

Cue the Jeopardy! theme! Answer: “This band’s very first single soared to the top of the charts—two years after its initial release.” Question: “Who are Tommy James & The Shondells, whose debut track ‘Hanky Panky’ was recorded in 1964 but didn’t become a national hit until May 1966?” Answer: “This band produced a pair of Top 5 singles in the late 1960s that were re-released as cover songs some 20 years later, reaching No. 1 in back-to-back weeks.” Question: “Who are Tommy James & The Shondells, whose songs “I Think We’re Alone Now” and “Mony Mony” were chart-toppers for teen pop sensation Tiffany and rock icon Billy Idol in November 1987—the only time cover songs from the same artist hit No. 1 in consecutive weeks?” Answer: This band has seen additional songs covered by everyone from Joan Jett & The Blackhearts to Dolly Parton to the Boston Pops orchestra, toured with Vice President Hubert Humphrey during his 1968 presidential campaign (they even got Humphrey to write the liner notes for their sixth album!), and, despite being well into their sixth decade, continues to tirelessly tour the country, with a stop this week in Las Vegas. Question: Who are Tommy James & The Shondells? Now hopefully you have plenty of “Mony Mony” for Final Jeopardy. –Matt Jacob Golden Nugget, 8 p.m. Aug. 31, starting at $59 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster
