YOUR GUIDE TO EARLY VOTING

EARLY VOTING

20-2 October

November

There are 96 early voting sites in Southern Nevada. Visit the Clark County Election Department website at tinyurl.com/y8mza6ut to find locations and times. You are not assigned to a site and can vote wherever you choose.

BY YVONNE GONZALEZ | WEEKLY STAFF

evada is one of 37 states plus Washington, D.C., to offer early voting, according to the National Conference for State Legislatures. Residents looking to find shorter lines and avoid possible issues the day of the election will have from Oct. 20 through Nov. 2 to vote before Election Day on Nov. 6. Clark County’s expanded use of vote centers instead of assigned polling places this year is giving registered voters even more options to cast ballots at their convenience, said Joe Gloria, registrar of voters. “With early voting, you have 14 days to choose from, a time and place that’s convenient for you,” Gloria said. “That’s why we try to promote the early voting program, and most voters vote early, so I think they like that advantage.”

MY PERSONAL INFORMATION CHANGED. WHAT DO I DO? Some updates, such as a change of address, can be made online at tinyurl.com/yd8m5fk8 with a Nevada driver’s license or an identification card. Changes must be submitted before the voter registration deadline.

ELECTION DAY

November

POLLS ARE OPEN 7 A.M.-7 P.M. Individuals can cast their ballots at any of the 172 “vote centers” listed on the Clark County Election Department website, tinyurl.com/ydh8tfmj. You are not assigned to a site and can vote at whichever location you choose.

MILITARY MEMBERS Active-duty members of the military, their spouses and dependents, and Nevada voters living outside the U.S. can use the Effective Absentee System for Elections. The online system electronically submits the Federal Post Card Application, a form that acts as voter registration to the county. Once submitted, it requests that an encrypted absentee ballot be sent to the voter via email. Foreign cyber threats associated with the election have prompted many states to bump up security and take advantage of new collaborations with federal agencies looking to shore up election infrastructure.

HOW MANY SITES ARE THERE? There are 96 early voting sites set up throughout the county. On Election Day, voters can cast their ballots at the same 172 vote centers that were in use during the June primaries. The sites include grocery stores, malls, libraries and more. “We have sites where you shop, where you play and near your work,” Gloria said. “It’s just more convenient during the early voting period, because you have 14 days to look at the schedule and find a time that’s right for you, whereas on Election Day, you never know what might happen.”

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING TO VOTE? Nothing. Nevada does not have a voter ID law. Voters in Clark County are verified by signature.

HOW MANY PEOPLE VOTE EARLY? The number of Clark County voters casting ballots before Election Day has generally been increasing for decades, accounting for 63.6 percent of general election ballots in 2016 compared with 17.4 percent in 1996. Nevada is also one of 27 states that allow people to vote by mail without requiring an explanation, according to NCSL.

VOTERS WITH DISABILITIES State lawmakers recently passed a law allowing voters who have disabilities or are at least 65 sion years old to request to be added to a permanent mail O T S tober 30 rm of submise L L A B it c TEE ebs yO and absentee ballot list. The Absent Ballot Request Form ur fo A B S E eNst a ballot bbased on yoepartment wntee ballots carries a box to check for those 65 and older who want e D s u s q n ie b r e a t R Va ctio to enroll in the permanent absentee ballot list. All other quest ices a line: y Ele Dead rk Count ption to re voter serv int the absentee voters have to make the request each election. r la o d p C e e can The r s th ister voter Gloria said it’s a common misconception that absene reg g it, o iduals gives g its onlin 86. Indiv ore mailin t via o o f tee ballots are only counted in close races—all mailed in h ll e by us com/y72r n it b t a ba ballots are counted if they are received on time. rl. nd sig n. Reques tinyu ll it out a o s r e p fi Officials make a final run to the main post offices off in 6552. form, ing it 5starting at 5 p.m. on Election Day to pick up any dropp at 702-45 e ballots they may be holding. phon ation “Any voter that comes into the office by 7 p.m. ff loc rop-o unty d N to personally drop off that ballot, as long as a O t S PER mber 6 a rk Co it’s here before 7 p.m., it gets processed and e Cla RN IN ve RETU ne: By No visiting th at sent next door. Those are actually the last y e li Dead location b nt websit ballots that we’ll count into the system after rtme m. a ind a p F e we’ve read all the cartridges for Election Day,” a9d ion D Elect com/y9cg Gloria said. rl. tinyu

Votes are tallied after 7 p.m. when lines are gone and polls are closed. The first report the county will release on election night will include all early and absentee voting.

NEED A RIDE? Uber and Lyft are offering free and discounted rides to the polls on Election Day.

PROVISIONAL BALLOTS If there is a question about a voter’s eligibility, he or she will be allowed to cast a provisional ballot for federal offices only (president, U.S. Senate and Congress). Questions of eligibility can occur if a person is voting for the first time and his or her voter registration data doesn’t match DMV or Social Security Administration records, or if the individual is not listed as registered with the Election Department. What happens: Individuals must bring appropriate documentation to the Clark County Election Department by 5 p.m. the Friday after Election Day to cast a ballot.

BALLOT QUESTIONS

Question 1, Marsy’s Law Our position: No Why: There are better ways of enhancing and protecting victims’ rights than resorting to tinkering with the state Constitution. Question 2, Pink Tax Repeal Our position: Yes Why: This measure, which would eliminate sales tax on feminine hygiene products, makes perfect sense in a state that exempts other necessities like food and prescription drugs. Question 3, The Energy Choice Initiative Our position: No Why: Nevada should open up its energy market so that consumers can have a choice of providers, but there’s a better way to go about this than revising the Nevada Constitution. Question 4, Medical Patient Tax Relief Act Our position: Yes Why: This measure, which would exempt medical devices like oxygen delivery systems from taxation, also is in line with other exemptions on necessities.

CORRECTION

Las Vegas Weekly’s endorsement of Ballot Question 3 in last week’s issue contained incorrect information about Sands Corp. The company received permission from state regulators to cut ties with NV Energy but has opted to remain a customer of the utility.

Wynn Resorts epitomized that year of Vegas change. With a new CEO at the helm and other significant leadership changes, the iconic luxury resort brand is moving forward with key developments at its twin Strip resorts, including retail and restaurants at the Wynn Plaza expansion and the construction of a 25-acre lagoon attraction and innovative meeting and convention space on the site of the former golf course. Standing strong amid this metamorphosis is Wynn Nightlife, which has emerged as its own powerful brand in recent years, one that sets an international standard for music-centered social experiences at its three club venues: XS, Encore Beach Club and Intrigue. When Alex Cordova was appointed Executive Vice President and Managing Partner of Nightlife in 2016, it cemented the union of all Wynn nightlife operations under one umbrella. Wynn Nightlife has continued to dominate with a peerless roster of resident artists while diversifying the sights and sounds that create the backdrop for these enduring experiences. In the always up-and-down nightclub industry, this team has discovered consistency while leaving space for experimentation and growth. Just weeks after the highly successful Art of the Wild weekend, which brought an all-star squad of international artists and promoters for a three-day mini-festival like Strip nightlife has never seen before, Las Vegas Weekly checked in with Cordova for an assessment on the state of Wynn Nightlife and a glimpse at the future.

n How have changes and the new direction at Wynn Resorts impacted the Wynn Nightlife team and objectives? Wynn Nightlife has continued to prioritize exceptional service for our guests by offering the most luxurious nightlife experiences in the world, including the most sought-after party destinations with the most diverse music lineups and residencies in the world. It is an exciting time for the department, as we have been brought into the development of reshaping the future of Wynn Las Vegas. There is a lot to be unveiled in the upcoming year.

n Wynn Nightlife is universally recognized n In 2017, Wynn committed to introducing house and techno beats to its programming.

as an industry leader in Las Vegas and around the world but also an essential component of the brand and its Las Vegas identity. Has the last year of transition strengthened the importance of the nightlife teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success? Nightlife has always been an important component of the Wynn brand. Our nightlife team has always adapted to changes within the industry and continues to strengthen the successful foundation that we have built over the years. Every year our team continues to expand our capabilities in order to further leverage our brand in the nightlife space.

n Who is on the new experiential team, what are their objectives and approach and what kind of impact do you think their efforts will have on Vegas nightlife?

n Can you discuss the programming and venue innovations that have kept Wynn Nightlife on top in recent years? We are continually searching for new ways to provide exciting experiences for our guests. We pride ourselves on having the most diverse lineup and staying on the pulse of music trends. We make sure to pay attention to how our guests’ music tastes evolve and change throughout the year, and we work to ensure our programming reflects that. In 2017, we made a strong commitment to introduce house and techno into our programming strategy. We have worked with the strongest operators from around the world to create one-of-a-kind experiences within our venues. The team has worked diligently with some of the best production experts in the world to create a new look and feel for the venues during these performances. It was truly a learning experience, and we are excited to expand upon this in the years to come. This is what we do best.

We have a strong team of industry influencers that has been in place for some time. Each team member brings various backgrounds and deep-rooted experiences in the nightlife arena. Wynn Nightlife believes in nurturing young talent, as they will ultimately be our future leaders. The experiential team was born out of a necessity to have more interaction with the local community through unique activations at our property. We want our local guests to feel welcome and also understand that individuals need to be recognized for their achievements within this industry. The activations the team executes create memorable moments within the resort and our venues. It’s encouraging to see other operators adopt this strategy within their venues. It means that the town overall has a commitment to make rewarding nightlife experiences for our community.

n You’ve been with Wynn for more than two years now, and it’s really become your team after you had to build trust and camaraderie. What is the dynamic like today? Having all three nightclub properties managed together under one entity has definitely created a stronger sense of unity. We are proud of the team we have cultivated to provide our clientele with the best in-class service and experience. It’s incredible to see how much people have grown in the past few years. The talent on this team is limitless. I truly believe that we are only starting to reveal our true potential.

n The success of the Art of the Wild weekend showed Wynn that its audience’s tasted are evolving.

n You are not just competing against other nightclub venues on the Strip. Nightlife has to compete with Vegas entertainment in general, which is always growing and expanding and now includes professional sports. What is the strategy moving into the future to stay at the center of the Vegas entertainment experience? We are continuing to look into new and exciting opportunities that will complement and expand our current lineup. The success of Art of the Wild proved how the music tastes of our demographic are evolving, and we are continuing to make sure that sound is added into in our lineup on a regular basis. Our sole focus is to drive bodies to Las Vegas and our properties. Our primary focus is to create compelling experiences to draw guests to our venues. Art of the Wild was the first step in our understanding how to achieve success through an eightmonth marketing campaign. Vegas is so fast-paced that it is hard to plan that far out for one single event series. On any given weekend, you have the most compelling festival lineups in the world across event facilities on the four-mile strip. It’s extremely aggressive, and now, by adding sporting events, it brings a completely new dynamic to the town. Still, it is about the success of the overall town. We have to be the leader in entertainment in the U.S. to continue the momentum we have built, and the success of sports will only complement that. Now you will see us introducing more special weekends to create datespecific experiences for our customers. Outside of holiday or fight weekends, we want our guests to plan for these special moments throughout the year and understand our commitment to providing something extraordinary during their stay. It’s always about showing the customer an over-the-top experience they cannot see at home. LVW

Please rescue us, younger voters Here’s a question for millennials, one that probably won’t require much contemplation: Are you happy with the way older people are running the country? If the answer is no — or probably more like #*&% no — well, you’re absolutely right. Baby boomers have made a mess of things. You see it in the terrible condition of the environment. In the epidemic of gun violence. In the emergence of President Donald Trump’s extremism. In the partisan warfare in Washington and the polarization of Americans. Everywhere, there’s evidence of the damage caused by older Americans. So, younger voters, we need you to save us. Please, ride in this year and take this country in the right direction. We know you see the problems, and we realize you’re the ones who’ll have to clean them up. You can do this. But to do it, you’ll have to vote. Because the boomers are going to vote. Older people always do. And with some experts predicting that this year’s midterm elections will draw the biggest turnout in at least 50 years, they’re going to be everywhere. Forget the Red Wave, Blue Wave stuff. This is a Gray Wave, and it hits every election. But it doesn’t have to swamp younger voters. In fact, as the largest generation in the nation, millennials could easily make as much noise at the polls as the boomers. If you show up, you can sway votes across the nation. This is true in Nevada, where the Jacky

Rosen-Dean Heller race for U.S. Senate and the contest between Steve Sisolak and Adam Laxalt for governor are just two of the tight elections on the ballot. It’s also true everywhere else. Take Texas, for instance, where if enough college students and other young people voted, Beto O’Rourke could grab Republican Sen. Ted Cruz’s seat for the Democrats. All it takes for millennials to get in the driver’s seat is voting. And in Clark County, that’s easier than ever. There are 96 places where early voting is taking place, and there will be 172 voting centers open on Election Day. Better yet, since the county no longer operates on a precinct basis, voters can go to any one of those sites to cast their ballots. Not sure if you’re registered? You can find out at clarkcountynv.gov/election/Pages/default.aspx So here, at least, voting is a snap. Unfortunately, though, the signs don’t look too promising for turnout among younger people. A recent poll by PRRI and the Atlantic showed that just 35 percent of Americans ages 18 to 29 planned to vote. And people 65 and older? The poll showed that 81 percent of them said they’d turn out. Eighty-one percent. Michelle Obama put it well during a recent rally

in which she encouraged young voters to mobilize. “While some folks are frustrated and tuned out and stay at home on Election Day, trust me, other folks are showing up,” she said. “Democracy continues with or without you.” She couldn’t have been more right. This year, the election will determine the course of such critical issues as the economy, environmental protection, women’s health and reproductive rights, gun safety and immigration. For young voters, the spark of political activism is glowing brightly. We know it from watching the March for Our Lives movement spread across college campuses, the demonstrations in support of Dreamers, the hundreds of thousands of women in their 20s who took part in the Women’s March and similar events nationwide, and more. So, younger voters, with so much on the line this year, we need you to counter the extremists who are taking our nation in a regressive direction. We need you to rescue a nation that has lost its way. We know you get it: the need for unity, for equality, for inclusion, for gun safety. By coming to the ballot box, and grabbing the power that’s yours for the taking, you can help put us back on the right path. Please vote. Please save us.

COCKROACH THEATRE THE DOG/ THE CAT For the second play in its 15th anniversary season, Cockroach Theatre presents a double bill of two quirky romantic comedies. Written by Brendan Cowell and Lally Katz, respectively, The Dog/The Cat explores human relationships through the oddly insightful eyes of our pets. The plays were a hit in Australia, and this is their American debut. “These off-the-wall romantic comedies are, at their heart, about people finding common ground despite their differences,” Artistic Director Daz Weller said in a press statement. He purposely chose happier programming to serve as a respite from the divisive news cycle, adding that “Lally and Brendan are masterful writers and these plays are bonkers good fun!” In The Cat, a feline rap-star (yes, you read that correctly) observes its owner’s divorce. And in The Dog, two housemates hash out their friendship at a dog park alongside their terrier, named Jerry Seinfeld. Time Out Sydney calls The Dog/The Cat “a little ray of sunshine” that “felt like something conceived as a crowd-pleaser and delivered intact.” Times vary, $20-$25. –C. Moon Reed

PARADISE LAS VEGAS HALLOWEEN October 31, 10:30 p.m., $25-$45. XS, 702-770-7300.

By Leslie Ventura t’s no secret that Welsh DJ/producer Jamie Jones has been transporting people with his luscious soundscapes and deep house grooves for years. The resident Ibiza DJ is most notable for his grandiose Paradise parties, where he has set the precedent for exclusive, celebratory dance vibes. Last year, Jones brought the tropical heat to XS for Halloween, marking the first time the Paradise brand had ever been spotlighted in Las Vegas. “This event was our first showcase of this style of music and the Paradise brand at the Wynn, so we really wanted it to be a home run and provide something original

in the nightlife space,” says Alex Cordova, executive vice president of nightlife. Wynn “booked a compelling lineup with Jamie Jones as our anchor, brought in fresh production that transformed XS and worked tirelessly with our promotional partners,” Cordova continues, “but it wouldn’t have worked without the overwhelming support and appreciation from the music fans and our local base.” Earlier this month, Jones returned to XS as part of Art of the Wild, an immersive, three-day house and techno event featuring another incandescent Paradise party. But if you missed this month’s event, you’re in luck. Jones is returning to XS on October 31, giving Las Vegas revelers another

chance to dance the night away. “We decided to do this event immediately following the success of last year’s partnership with Paradise,” Cordova says. Whether you’re a house music veteran or are just getting into the genre, the lineup is sure to get your heart pumping. “For those unfamiliar with the music, [this is] the perfect place to get your feet wet,” Cordova says. The event should also work oldschool house heads into a frenzy. From the headlining Jones and the Bronx-born Martinez Brothers to Lee Burridge—credited with helping build Hong Kong’s underground scene—and Russian trance DJ Serge Devant, the night is stacked with must-hear talent you can only catch at XS this Halloween.

Tao Group parts with the Palms

It seemed too good to be true. When the Tao Group, one of the most successful nightlife companies in Las Vegas history, announced plans to remake the Palms’ Rain space into a massive dayclub and nightclub, it seemed like a hospitality dream team had its final piece. The artful remaking of the Palms also included venues from Clique Hospitality and restaurants from Bobby Flay and Michael Symon. Suddenly, those plans have changed. Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (Station Casinos) and Tao jointly announced Monday that the deal to create that club and bring New York City’s Vandal restaurant to the Palms has been terminated. No payment will be required by either party, according to the statement. The Tao Group had no further comment, other than that the company “has numerous restaurant and nightlife brands and [is] always considering options for expansion in the [Vegas] market.” The Palms has confirmed that its club and restaurant plans “are still moving forward with the timeline mentioned,” which means the off-Strip resort plans to open the new venues at the end of the first quarter of 2019. It’s not known whether the Palms will operate those venues or is seeking (or has found) a new partner. –Brock Radke

IF YOU BUILD IT … FLOCK TO CLEAVER FOR PROTEIN AND MEMORABLE COCKTAILS BY LESLIE VENTURA hen Nectaly Mendoza opened Herbs & Rye in 2009, he believed his vision would resonate with Las Vegans, Field of Dreams style. What he created—a bar and restaurant that stayed open late and appealed to service industry workers and cocktail connoisseurs—took a few years to build a buzz, but when it did, people certainly came. Nine years later, Mendoza is ready for round two. His latest venture, Cleaver (on Paradise north of Flamingo), specializes in “butchered meats, seafood and classic cocktails.” And while the focus is the kitchen, the libations—culled from different eras, similar to Herbs & Rye’s cocktail menu—are also top-notch. Try them (and sample from the food menu) during happy hour from 5-8 p.m. Formerly Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Mendoza and company have transformed the 7,000-squarefoot space, which features an ample bar, a dining room and a private dining area. The restaurant is beautiful and detailed, designed like a playful-yetsophisticated man-cave, hung with giant portraits of Bill Murray, Chris Farley and other luminaries in 19th-century military garb. The dining menu begins with a handful of starters, including a delectable steak tartare ($22) atop buttery sourdough toast. The foie gras ($29) is another head-turner, a unique variation on the classic French staple, served on a sweet potato pancake with blackberry reduction and crème fraiche. There’s also a raw bar that shouldn’t be skipped—order a half-dozen ($19) or a dozen oysters ($34), or splurge on a seafood platter ($75-$280). The Cleaver Favorites section includes a sweet and robust squid ink pasta ($26) that’s similar to carbonara, and a seared sea bass ($29) served with pea and mint risotto and Spanish chorizo. But the butchered meats are where Cleaver really shines. The 16-ounce ribeye ($64) delivers a melt-in-yourmouth experience (go medium rare to enjoy the rich marbling), while the 120-ounce Cleaver ribeye ($390)—serving five to eight—is a serious showstopper. It’s a meal fit for a royal family.

The Stratosphere has been doing some redecorating over the past few months, and Top of the World has been a major recipient of those efforts. The dining room has been redone, and the food, cocktail and wine menus have been refreshed, too, under the direction of Golden Entertainment’s Johnny Church and Jason Shullo and new Top of the World executive chef Pawan Pinisetti. The restaurant feels fresher and trendier, incorporating seasonal items and high-grade beef from well-known ranches across the U.S., Australia and Japan, which has resulted in dishes like a stunning filet mignon carpaccio and an Australian wagyu skirt steak. “Johnny is wildly creative and collaborating with him has been a lot of fun,” Pinisetti, who previously led the team at Fiamma inside MGM Grand, said of Church, Golden’s corporate executive chef who has also headed up kitchens at Aureole and MTO Café. Top of the World’s tuna tartare, on gaufrette potatoes, is one example of that inventive pairing. And though the menu leans heavily toward meat, you can also find nice vegetarian options such as zucchini-squash “spaghetti” with marinara, along with more sustainable items. Many of the dinner items are on the lunch menu, too, and you’ll also find a truffle burger option there. As for the cocktails, try the Clingstone, featuring Cîroc Peach, ginger beer honey and lemon. Just like Grandma used to make! –Nina King

Phish, as themselves. (Courtesy)

Jam-band jukebox

Phish’s full-album ‘musical costumes’ might dominate the chatter, but its other Halloween-run covers merit attention, too By Spencer Patterson and Mike Prevatt

hish’s performances of other artists’ albums during Halloween-night concerts (dubbed “musical costumes”) have become the stuff of legend within and beyond the “phaithful.” But the band’s general penchant for covers—some as beloved as Phish’s own material—has meant other reinterpreted songs have also found their way into its local Halloween-weekend runs. Among the three previously staged in Las Vegas, and just ahead of Phish’s longest one to date, here are some of the most noteworthy noncostume covers.

“CROSSEYED AND PAINLESS” (November 1, 2014; MGM Grand Garden) Not only did the band cover the funky post-punk classic during its Halloween 1996 take on Talking Heads’ Remain in Light, but it has played or teased it many times since then. Many selections from previous musical costumes have also lived on; the 2016 Vegas run saw several reappearances of tracks and samples from Disney’s Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House (first reworked at MGM in 2014), along with “Shine a Light,” a highlight from Phish’s 2009 cover of The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street. –MP

“SNEAKIN’ SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY”

(October 31, 1998; Thomas & Mack Center) Phish had recently resurrected its early-years cover of this Robert Palmer number (written by Allen Toussaint) when the band pulled it out during its Halloween ’98 show. The resulting 11 funked-out minutes found Phish in a deep groove (dig Page McConnell’s slinky clavinet work)—and teasing James Brown’s “Super Bad” before segueing smoothly into “Chalk Dust Torture.” On a night when a lot of things went right, this jam might have been the most righteous. –SP

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL A BILLBOARD FINALIST

Less than a month after throwing the biggest—and some would say best—edition of its six-year Las Vegas life, Life Is Beautiful has received a significant honor: being named one of three finalists for Billboard's Top Festival award. Along with Downtown Vegas’ annual music, art and food gathering, Lollapalooza Brazil and San Francisco’s Outside Lands are up for the award, which will be handed out on the final night of this year’s Billboard Live Music Summit, November 13 at the Montage in Beverly

Hills, California. “It fills me with so much joy to see our team, our city and our fans appropriately recognized for what is the product of an incredible amount of passion and hard work,” Life Is Beautiful CEO Justin Weniger said. “It was a particularly meaningful year for the City of Las Vegas on a lot of fronts. We’re so proud of not only the resilience but the growth of our Vegas community. In a lot of ways what we accomplished together in 18 city blocks of Downtown Las Vegas this September is a testament to that.”

REALITY AND ESCAPE CNN’s Anderson Cooper hits the Colosseum stage with comic pal Andy Cohen By C. Moon Reed

magine going out for a drink with two of the most interesting dudes in news and entertainment. That’s the vibe legendary CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper wants for his upcoming AC2 show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, featuring him and buddy Andy Cohen. You might know Cohen from his Bravo talk show, Watch What Happens Live, or from his executive producer roles on Top Chef and The Real Housewives franchise. Cohen will dish on behind-the-scenes reality show drama, and both men will tell anecdotes from their 25 years of friendship. “It’s all true, all funny stories,” Cooper says during a phone interview with the Weekly. “It’s a night for friends to get together and enjoy themselves.” Expect a highly entertaining conversation between friends you wish you had, but don’t discussion on politics,” Cooper says. expect stand-up comedy.

People are surprised about fun. “The last thing people want to see is serious how funny I am onstage.”

While Cooper says that the stories told during his shows are protected by a “cone of silence, just for people in the auditorium,” he did let slip a hilarious anecdote from this summer. He was in Helsinki, Finland, covering the summit between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. It was an intense 12 hours of constant work for Cooper, but that didn’t stop Cohen from having a little fun: “I kept getting texts from him asking, ‘How hot are the guys in Helsinki?’ I wouldn’t respond. Three hours later, ‘How hot are the guys in Helsinki?’” So how hot were they? “[Depends] if you like blonde, Nordic men and women. They were Casper the Friendly Ghost blonde.

REAL LAUGHS Political funnyman Bill Maher returns to the Mirage By C. Moon Reed

This October, comic Bill Maher celebrates 15 years of his hit HBO show, Real Time With Bill Maher. He also happens to be performing at the Mirage as part of his periodic Aces of Comedy residency. But don’t expect any repeat jokes in Maher’s stand-up. “I’d never do that to an audience,” Maher says during a phone interview with the Weekly. “I wouldn’t go back on road unless I have something new to say.” During these unusual political times, that’s not difficult. What can viewers expect from your live show? To laugh their asses off. I don’t fool around up there. I go right for the jugular. How is performing in Las Vegas different from being on TV? The show is a hybrid of laughing and seriousness. In stand-up, people should be laughing all the time; there’s nothing else going on. Now, some people have jokes that are just silly, and some people have jokes that have a lot of meaning in them. That’s what I’m trying to do: always be making a point. How do you make jokes when the news already seems so ridiculous? People often say the jokes write themselves. Nothing ever writes itself, or else we’d all be doing this. It’s always a challenge to come up with great stuff, no matter how ridiculous the reality appears. Does it sometimes get hard to parody a president who is involved in self-parody? A little bit. Sometimes I think he’s trolling me. I’ll make fun of what he did, and then he does it worse. If you could get one completely honest answer from one person, what would you ask? I’d ask Donald Trump, “Where is your hair coming from?” I used to think he was combing it from the back. But then there was a photo of him on Air Force One with the wind blowing from behind [and there was no hair]. So where is it coming from? I want Mueller to look into this. What always makes you laugh? Basic slapstick. If I’m not expecting it and somebody goes around the corner and gets whooped in the face. Tell your favorite Vegas joke. I think it was Garry Shandling’s joke: “I don’t want to brag, but I came to Vegas in a $5,000 car, and I’m leaving Vegas in a $50,000 bus.”

Sitting inside Tamar Ettun’s Orange Inflatable. (Josh Hawkins/ UNLV Creative Services and Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art)

Sensory Jubilation Tamar Ettun’s Jubilation Inflation expertly plays with your emotions at the Barrick By Dawn-Michelle Baude he Barrick Museum’s lively Jubilation Inflation is a show about the body—your body. Your impossible stillness and irrepressible movement, your dutiful lungs, your eyes irresistibly drawn to a rolling orange, your ears deciphering a modulation that you can’t quite place. Is it the sound of wind streaming through leaves? Frying eggs? Sensory maestro Tamar Ettun’s Jubilation Inflation is remarkable not only for its ambitious range of work—installations, sculptures, photographs, videos, soundtracks, performances, text—but also for its tight conceptual framework. The exhibition culminates four years of research, each year devoted to a different color and emotion: blue/empathy, yellow/desire, pink/aggression and orange/joy. Inspired by Ettun’s performance art, Jubilation Inflation investigates how bodies respond to color, material, objects and one another. Dominating the Barrick gallery are four “inflatables”—colorful, colossal balloons made of parachute

fabric and hand-stitched by Ettun into giant geoexample, rebrands the Modernist woman-as-cello metrical cushions or hulking biomorphs.

Immortal technique Bram Stoker meets Buffy in Nevada Ballet Theatre’s Dracula By C. Moon Reed t 6-foot-4 and 5-foot-8, respectively, Steven Goforth and Alissa Dale are two of the tallest dancers in Nevada Ballet Theatre’s professional company. As such, it was natural that the two partner up. Over the past six seasons, the artists have performed together in The Nutcracker, Cinderella, Swan Lake, Carousel (A Dance), Seasons, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and more. “We have worked out a lot of technical things [over the years],” Goforth says of collaboration in a profession where you must trust your partner to literally lift and carry you. “So we can just go on to developing character and not spend as much time working out the mechanics.” This time around, there are very big characters to develop. In NBT’s Smith Center production of Dracula, Goforth plays the title role and Dale plays Flora, an innocent village girl turned bloodthirsty vampire bride. Boasting elaborate costumes,

AFTER AN EVENTFUL FIRST YEAR, LAS VEGASâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PRO SOCCER TEAM WILL LOOK TO A BIG-NAME COACH IN YEAR TWO

KEEPING THE

LIGHT

1 0 . 2 5 .1 8

BY RAY BREWER rett Lashbrook will never call an eight-win soccer season a success. He refuses to look at the standings, where his Las Vegas Lights finished in third-to-last place out of 17 teams, and consider it a job well done. “We have to improve the on-field product; it’s that simple,” says Lashbrook, the team’s owner, who doesn’t hide his criticism of the Lights’ underachieving maiden season. In the next breath, though, Lashbrook raves about what happened off the field. His team consistently drew fans to Cashman Field, whether it was in the heat of the summer, on a holiday or when there were other significant entertainment options in town—reaffirming his belief that Southern Nevada is a prime market for his product. The Lights averaged 7,000 fans per game during their inaugural season, which ended October 13. That included many Latino families who reside near Downtown. Some were face-painted diehards who stood chanting, waving flags and sending smoke bombs into the air on game days to transform Cashman Field into a massive soccer party. It was everything Lashbrook had envisioned. “I am incredibly happy,” he says. “Did we get everything right? No. Did we get more right than wrong? Yes.” Lashbrook realized the best way for the Lights to make their mark on the local sports landscape was to be creative in their approach. Seemingly each week, they did something unconventional. Lashbrook

took a simple tailgate and transformed it into a pregame festival complete with games for children, food trucks and live music. He partnered with two thriving Southern Nevada industries—cannabis and sports gambling—signing them on as sponsors and even displaying in-game betting odds from bookmaker William Hill. Another sponsor, the Plaza, awarded players up to $30,000 for home victories. “We embraced being from Las Vegas,” Lashbrook says. “People would wonder about that next crazy thing we are going to do. We aren’t going to apologize for being unique and forward-thinking.” Of the Lights’ many supporters, two are especially noteworthy: Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman and Zappos CEO and Downtown developer Tony Hsieh. “Cashman is a party zone for those home matches, and you can feel the excitement building,” Goodman says. “We know that soccer is the world’s sport, and I think it will continue to grow in popularity in Las Vegas.” The growth will include permanently converting Cashman Field from a baseball facility to a soccer-only stadium this offseason, as the Las Vegas 51s relocate to Summerlin. The new look will provide Lashbrook with additional options for in-game entertainment and amenities to further complete his vision. There’s no telling what he has in store. “We found a niche the city didn’t have,” Lashbrook says. “We brought a slice of Mexico City [and] a slice of Buenos Aires to Downtown. We accomplished 99 percent more than anyone expected of us.” And now, he wants to bring Major League Soccer to Las Vegas. Before the NHL’s Golden Knights arrived in 2017, Las Vegas wasn’t home to any major-league professional teams. Now the city also has a WNBA team in the Aces, with an NFL team, the Raiders, set to arrive in 2020. Major League Soccer could be another good fit, especially considering that several franchises approved for MLS expansion, including 2019 newcomer Cincinnati, have come from the Lights’ United Soccer League. First, though, the Lights have to win more than eight games. “The best way to get on the MLS radar is to prove ourselves,” Lashbrook says. With that in mind, Lashbrook wasted no

LV W S P O R T S

time in making a coaching change during the offseason. A few days after the final game, he parted ways with Isidro Sánchez. A few days later, he hired U.S. soccer great Eric Wynalda as the Lights’ coach and technical director. The feeling is that Wynalda’s reputation in soccer circles will add credibility, and his knowledge and dedication could have the Lights moving up in the standings sooner than later. “I know my job—give this city a winning team,” Wynalda says. “I know what I’ve gotten into, and we’re gonna have some fun.”

THESE INNOVATIVE PROMOTIONS SET THE LIGHTS APART The king of all promotions: At a game late in the season, a helicopter dropped $5,000 in cash—mostly $1 bills—onto the pitch at Cashman Field for 200 fans to grab. They wore pink latex gloves, after owner Brett Lashbrook read that people wearing pink are less likely to be violent. Sure enough, the event produced no injuries. One fan walked away with an event-best $137.

A close second: Season ticket-holders who had already renewed for next season were allowed to take one kick from the

circle from the 18-yard box. If that shot hit the crossbar, the fan would receive his or her 2018-19 tickets for free. A few hundred supporters combined to buy about 3,500 seats in the first year—and 18 have hit the bar for free tickets next season. Viva Mexico: At the Cinco de Mayo game, the Lights gave fans lucha libre masks, showing the heavily Latino fanbase that its new soccer team was all in on celebrating its culture.

Harnessing the power of the Hispanic vote Turnout has been a challenge, but the growing Hispanic population is becoming an influential voting bloc By Yvonne Gonzalez

Weekly stafF

ood, culture and politics are three of the topics about which Republican Richard Hernandez’s Puerto Rican and Spanish family are passionate. “Of course we have heated discussions,” Hernandez said, “but they’re always very much based in fact, and I don’t think there’s any bruised egos walking out of them.” Hernandez, a communications director who works alongside two Latinos on Republican Danny Tarkanian’s five-person campaign staff, came to Nevada from Southern California in January 2016 to work with the Nevada GOP. “I was starting to grow tired of California and the policies that I felt had started infringing on my personal liberties,” Hernandez said. Hernandez’s story is one of many that exemplifies an increasing trend of Hispanic representation and influence in politics that includes Gov. Brian Sandoval and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto. According to Michael Bowers, professor of political science and public law at UNLV, Hispanic and Asian voting blocs are going to gain power through population growth, activism and increased voter registration efforts in the coming years. Nevada’s Hispanic population grew from

6.8 percent in 1980 to 26.5 percent in 2010. The Census Bureau estimated that Hispanics made up 28.8 percent of the state’s population in 2017. But Bowers also emphasized that growth doesn’t guarantee turnout, and overcoming obstacles such as differences in political ideology and organizing are key. Reported voting stayed steady among Nevada’s Hispanics from the 2014 midterm to 2010, at about 27 percent of the population, compared with more than 40 percent of white citizens, according to Census data. To encourage participation, organizations such as Mi Familia Vota, which opened a Las Vegas office in 2010, are building on decades of activism from the local Culinary Union. As that kind of advocacy grows, Hispanic representation in politics and voter participation could continue to increase as well. The black community has a long-standing culture of activism that translated into leadership roles, with black legislators, both Democrats, leading the Nevada Legislature for the first time in 2017, Bowers said. Turnout among black citizens in the 2016 presidential election reached 67.1 percent, topping the 61.8 percent among white voters and 56.6 percent among Hispanics, according to the Census Bureau. “Perhaps it is because of the history of civil

rights organizing beginning in the 1950s that has made this more of a habit and a culture in the African-American community than in the Hispanic community,” Bowers said. “Nonetheless, it is beginning to happen now in the Hispanic community and it is likely to bring benefits in terms of political power and policy.” Cyndy Hernandez, political organizing coordinator for Nevada’s Future, works with a coalition of groups that focus on getting Latinos out to vote. This election, she said, Latinos are more attentive. “We’re being talked a lot about in the media,” she said. “People are paying attention, and they’re like, ‘Well how do I vote? When do I vote? I’m ready to vote.’ It’s the role of organizations like us to go out there and have these conversations, and we have been for months, and we’re going to translate that into votes.”

FOR WhoM do Latinos vote? Indicative of the Hispanic voting population of the past, Hernandez said he and his father are outnumbered by his mostly Democratic family. But that trend may be changing. While Hispanics have mostly voted for Democratic presidential candidates since the ’80s, according to Pew Research, 25 to 40 percent of Hispanics have favored Republicans in recent years. About 62 percent supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 over Donald Trump. Fernando Romero, president of nonpartisan Hispanics in Politics since its inception 38 years ago, said about a quarter of the group’s members are at least somewhat conservative, compared with about 14 to 20 percent who likely voted Republican in the past. For almost 24 years, the group has invited politicians to speak the first Wednesday of every month at its breakfast meeting at Doña Maria Tamales restaurant Downtown. “It’s an eclectic group of individuals because it’s not strictly Latinos,” Romero said. “Our main goal and our mission statement is to empower the Latino community when it comes to political knowledge, force, information and also supporting candidates that, if not Hispanic, at least do favor the Latino issues.” Romero said members of the local Hispanic community are sometimes not sure who to vote for, but that immigration may push them out in force this year to vote against family separations at the border and other controversial efforts by the GOP administration. “With Mr. Trump calling us rapists and terrorists and drug traffickers, etc., I think it’s what’s going to draw the vote out,” Romero said. “That coupled with a number of organizations that are really dedicated to (getting out the vote). … Now, are they all going to vote Democrat? I don’t know.”

Hernandez said Catholic Latino voters may also be motivated by conservative religious beliefs, such as opposition to abortion. Most Hispanics are Catholic, according to Pew. Education Savings Accounts are a focus of the community as well. Romero said about 47 percent of the student body in Clark County is Hispanic. Democrats, including Tarkanian’s congressional opponent Susie Lee, typically oppose ESA programs, saying they take money out of the public school system and put it into private schools.

Tarkanian and other supporters of school choice say these programs give parents help to leave public schools. The conservative Koch brothers-funded Libre Initiative is working to persuade Latino voters that ESAs would benefit their families, wallets and education. “It may be true, but I don’t think so,” Romero said. “It’s going to take a lot of effort on our part to convince the Latino voter to vote for the candidates who are best suited for our community.”

Cuban-Americans tend to be conservative, while Mexican-Americans are more likely to be Democratic, according to Michael Bowers, professor of political science and public law at UNLV. Cubans were more focused on class and many had access to higher-paying jobs than Mexican immigrants because of their previous experience in Cuba’s gaming industry before Fidel Castro came to power and outlawed gambling.

Ballot Question 1: Marsy’s Law asks voters to expand crime victims’ rights By Camalot Todd Weekly staff

allot Question 1, or Marsy’s Law, seeks to expand the state constitutional rights of crime victims, including those affected by violence, domestic abuse, predatory behavior and more. The measure has already passed twice in the Legislature and will become law if approved by voters in November, replacing the current victims’ rights guidelines in the Nevada Constitution with a more explicit list of rights. The existing amendment states that victims have the right to: be informed of the status or disposition of a criminal proceeding at any stage upon written request; be present at all public hearings involving the critical stages of the criminal proceeding; and be heard at all proceedings for the sentencing or release of a convicted person after trial. Ballot Question 1 would replace and expand those rights by requiring that officials inform victims and their families about the defendant’s conviction, sentence, location and time of incarceration, scheduled release date, and escape from custody. Victims would also have the right to: refuse an interview or deposition request unless under court order, block the release of certain records, restitution before court fees are paid, and the prompt return of property after it’s no longer needed by the criminal justice system. Victims would also have the right to have their safety and that of their family considered when a defendant’s bail and release conditions are being set by the courts. The measure is part of California, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota and Ohio state constitutions. Five other states—Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina and Oklahoma—have Marsy’s Law on the ballot this year. While there are similarities between the proposed laws, each state has unique language. “Marsy’s Law for Nevada will ensure victims of vio-

origin of Marsy’s Law In 1983, Marsalee “Marsy” Nicholas’ exboyfriend stalked and killed her. A week after the murder, her mother and brother, billionaire Henry Nicholas, were confronted by her accused murderer at a grocery store, unaware that he was out on bail because the criminal justice system was not required to notify the family without their written request. Nicholas’ ex-boyfriend was later convicted of second-degree murder, according to a 1985 Los Angeles Times story. After the grocery store incident, Marsy’s brother successfully lobbied for an amendment to California’s constitution that expanded the rights of victims of crime, and now Nevada is one of six states with a version of the proposal on the ballot. Six others, including California, have passed the measure.

lent crimes and their families have an equal voice and the rights they need to keep well informed during the criminal justice process,” said Sue Meuschke, the executive director of Nevada Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence, in a statement. “This law will create a statewide protocol throughout Nevada and help victims work their way through a complex criminal justice system.” Opponents of the measure raise concerns about hidden costs for the state and conflicts with defendants’ rights. The national American Civil Liberties Union argued that Marsy’s Law challenges the presumption of in-

nocence by granting state constitutional rights to victims before the defendant has been convicted, which assumes there is a victim before there is a conviction for wrongdoing. This could affect defendants’ ability to defend themselves, whether innocent or guilty. Another criticism is that the ballot measure language is vague, open to interpretation, and would require case law over time to establish guidelines, said Holly Welborn, policy director with the state chapter of the ACLU. “All the states that have passed it have all dealt with unintended consequences of cost overruns, difficulty determining how things should be done because of [how] the wording is—it’s really bad and really vague,”

Nevada utilizes the Vine System to notify victims—often domestic violence victims with temporary restraining orders or emergency temporary restraining orders—when a defendant is released on bail, said Liz Ortenburger, CEO of the domestic violence shelter SafeNest. Will Batista, the Nevada state director for Marsy’s Law for All, said the Vine System could be expanded to accommodate Ballot Question 1 if it passes.

Nationally, more than 27 percent of women and 11 percent of men have experienced some form of violence at the hands of an intimate partner, according to the most recent National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. In contrast, 44 percent of women and 33 percent of men living in Nevada have experienced some form of violence at the hands of an intimate partner.

If you are a victim of a crime, please reach out to police by calling 911. Below is a list of resource providers for victims of sexual violence, domestic violence and sex trafficking.

said John Piro, deputy public defender at the Clark County Public Defender’s office. “We’re not against victims’ rights,” said Piro, noting that he believes many of the changes proposed by Marsy’s Law should be done through statutory law, which is easier to change than constitutional laws and can be more explicit in the language. Revising a constitutional amendment would take about four years and require passage twice in the Legislature. Piro and Welborn also noted concerns about the cost to taxpayers in possible case litigations, as well as the cost of expanding the victim notification system. At this time, the total cannot be determined because imple-

mentation details are unclear. Will Batista, the Nevada state director for Marsy’s Law for All, acknowledged that the measure would have costs attached to it, but claims they wouldn’t be as high as critics claim. “We believe that the new process is an essential part of the Constitution and of being American. We believe that you are innocent until proven guilty, but we also know that rights aren’t a zero-sum game,” Batista said. “We want to make sure that it’s on a level playing field and that there is no conflict, and I think we’ve done a pretty good job of making sure that this language was crafted correctly.”

Tell us about some of the outlandish requests you’ve handled throughout your career. Besides marrying two robots during CES, most of the outlandish requests I’ve received are related to timing. I once worked with a couple who wanted Elvis to perform their ceremony in the Grand Canyon, at sunset with a full band—oh yeah, and it had to happen in 24 hours. That’s a tall order. However, we did pull it off.

Wedding exec Melody Williams talks business of getting hitched in Vegas BY REBECCA CLIFFORD-CRUZ WEEKLY STAFF

What brought you to Las Vegas? In a nutshell, love. My boyfriend [now husband] and I met in Chicago, where we fell in love. He got a job in Las Vegas, and, while we tried the longdistance relationship, it just wasn’t for us. When did you know you wanted to be a wedding planner? I started planning weddings when I was 12 years old and instantly knew it was the job for me. What are the differences between your current role as executive director and when you were a rookie planner? In the director role, I am not able to be heavily involved with one specific couple for their wedding. My main focus is overseeing all weddings to make sure all couples have an amazing experience. I also work on improving venues and packages, scouting new properties and making sure what we offer is in line with what people are looking for. What are aspects about the wedding industry that many people don’t know about or understand? The biggest misunderstanding is how much it’s really going to cost to get married. It tends to be a shock when couples realize the difference between what they want their wedding to look like and what they can actually afford. When expectations are put on paper with numbers next to them, your wedding becomes the wedding you can afford, which may be different than your initial vision. It’s important to have a budget, and it’s OK to have the wedding you

can afford. That’s the beauty in getting creative; budget doesn’t squash the creative ways you can have a unique and personal experience.

What are three questions every bride and groom should ask their wedding planner? There are many important questions that should be asked during the planning process. The top three include: 1. What are your refund policies? Things happen that may be out of your control, so make sure you know what policies are in place for those circumstances. 2. Make sure your wedding planner has your vision in mind. It’s your special day, and your planner plays a huge role in making your wedding day a reality. 3. Make sure your planner knows your budget and that it is kept, or other problems will come later as the wedding approaches.

When are the peak and off-seasons for weddings locally? When it comes to peak season for weddings, it really all comes down to weather. Our first peak season usually starts around March and runs through the end of May. Once the heat starts to pick up in June and July, we hit a little bit of a lull, but things pick right back up when peak wedding season starts beginning in September through November.

Do you have any advice for aspiring wedding planners? Be ready to work hard. Wedding planning is definitely a work hard, play hard job. You have to sacrifice weekends and even some holidays, but the satisfaction returned in the smiles and excitement from the couples is priceless. You put in a lot of time and effort to make those weddings special, so be ready for it.

Melody Williams, executive director of Vegas Weddings. (Wade Vandervort/staff)
