ON THE SCENE WITH BROCK RADKE
Andrea Bocelli International superstar continues his journey
Global superstar Andrea Bocelli’s Sì, his first album of new, original material in 14 years, has made an impact that could not have been predicted: It has topped the U.S. Billboard 200 chart for the first time in the tenor’s illustrious career. Released on Oct. 26, the album’s success could be partially attributed to Bocelli’s willingness to embrace new sounds and styles and his eagerness to collaborate with younger artists. Of course, these methods are hallmarks of his long and singular career, just as regular shows in Las Vegas have been a staple. In advance of Bocelli’s return to the Strip at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Dec. 1, I had the honor of interviewing the legend exclusively for Las Vegas Magazine. You’ve had many epic performances in Las Vegas through the years, but you’re also inextricably tied to Vegas because your music has always been part of the fountain show at the Bellagio. You’re right, in a certain sense I’ve never really left Las Vegas, thanks to those marvelous jets of water that dance to my voice. I feel like a citizen of Las Vegas. I feel at home here and—just like the home I grew up in, in the Tuscan countryside—I regularly feel the need to return, to visit old friends, to sing in front of an audience that, as I always like to emphasize, does not merely express joie de vivre and enjoyment, but also generosity and sensitivity. That is also what Las Vegas is about: solidarity, philanthropy and a desire to share with those less fortunate. You went back to basics in a way for the recording of your new album. Can you describe your approach to this project? The project is the result of three years of work, and the album is my first that is devoted to original songs, after a good 14 years. I needed to find something that was truly interesting to me, to embark
12 11.25.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
on such a challenging adventure. Over the years, I’ve become more selective: I wanted the album to fully express my sensitivities, the values that I believe in and that I want to get across. I decided, on the threshold of my 60th birthday, to tackle a CD of original songs when I was listening to the melody of “If Only,” a song that I adore because of the message of love that it contains and also because it was written by the same artistic partnership that gave life to “Con te partirò,” namely Francesco Sartori and Lucio Quarantotto. Do you feel there are any songs on this album that mark a drastic departure from your previous work? I don’t see any stylistic departures. However, there are daring songs. Some songs seem particularly modern to me, such as “Fall on Me,” or harmonically complex and anything but predictable, such as “Vertigo,” or impossible to categorize under a certain genre, such as “Ave Maria Pietas.” I think that the collaborations with artists of other generations such as Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Josh Groban and Aida Garifullina have helped to give Sì an extremely current feel.
Who would you like to work with that you haven’t been able to lock down yet? There are many artists that I would like to collaborate with, and not just big names that I have admired for many years but also emerging talents. Singing together, within a lyrical repertoire such as pop, is a gratifying experience that I have been enjoying for a quarter of a century. Out of the artists with whom I have not yet had the honor of sharing the stage, the first name
that comes to mind would be Paul McCartney. But I would truly have too many to list. It must have been special to sing with your son Matteo on the new album. Did you find that you are similar singers stylistically, or was there compromise to be made? Matteo will find his own way and his own style. He will develop his promising talents and aptitude, in his own time, as well as his artistic sensibilities and his personality.

Around the Strip Brock Radke is an award-winning entertainment reporter who has been covering the city since 2000, and interviews key movers and shakers on his All The Vegas podcast, available at allthevegas.com.
MAGIC AND COMEDY Veteran performer Murray Sawchuck, perhaps better known as Murray the Magician from his many appearances on America’s Got Talent (where he seemingly made a train disappear), Pawn Stars (where he serves as the magical device historian), Masters of Illusion and from his viral video YouTube channel, is back at the Las Vegas Strip venue where he feels most at home.
After a four-year run at Planet Hollywood Resort, Murray’s onstage again at the Laugh Factory at the Tropicana, always a fitting spot since the L.A. version of the comedy club is where he first began to expand his act by adding lots of laughs to his astounding array of tricks. Catch Murray’s ever-changing act at 5 p.m. Sunday to Wednesday and 7 p.m. Thursday and Saturday.
ALL THE VEGAS Paul Shaffer “In the beginning I thought, ‘Wow, professional television, I better write out music charts.’ I remember writing out James Brown’s ‘Sex Machine’ for everybody. Well, his music is just vamps, a twobar vamp repeated forever and then the bridge. So I’m writing out this chart, then I write, ‘James will take it to the bridge.’ Then I said, ‘Wait a minute, James will take it to the bridge! I can’t believe it!’ I was nervous. And then I got over the nervousness. Five shows a week will do that for you.” Paul Shaffer is back at Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars Palace through Dec. 1.

The grand opening gala for NoMad Las Vegas, which offered the first real look inside the dramatic dining room of the NoMad Restaurant from the team of Will Guidara and chef Daniel Humm, captured the coolest crowd on Nov. 10. Local singer Nieve Malandra and The Roots’ Questlove provided the entertainment as a who’s who of Vegas players mixed and mingled. In just a few minutes, I chatted with chef Roy Choi, who’s opening his own Park MGM restaurant, Best Friend, next month; MGM Resorts nightlife guru Sean Christie; restaurateur extraordinaire Elizabeth Blau; and Las Vegas Bowl executive director John Saccenti. Imagine Dragons performed a secret concert at the Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan recently to celebrate the release of new album Origins, packing the theater with fans from around the world who entered a contest to win a trip to Las Vegas to meet the band. The band will be back at the Chelsea for another concert on New Year’s Eve. Models, celebs and fashion figures of all forms flocked to the Palms for the Revolve Awards, celebrating famous folks, influencers and beauty gurus. Kendall Jenner was awarded Icon of the Year, Emily Ratajkowski won Woman of the Year and Teyana Taylor was named Muse of the Year. In attendance, and fresh from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, were models Elsa Hosk, Romee Strijd, Kelly Gale and Lorena Rae, as well as Shay Mitchell, Olivia Culpo, Chanel Iman, Mimi Cuttrell and more.

HOT PICKS Dazzling Nightlife A combination of nightclub and restaurant, the five-story Hakkasan is a world of chinoiserie beauty and the epitome of nightlife extravagance. There’s the Ling Ling Club and Ling Ling Lounge—two intimate spaces playing downtempo and hip-hop. The main nightclub is enveloped in floorto-ceiling LED screens with a massive DJ booth; and the pavilion is a garden oasis with a breathtaking water feature. –Kiko Miyasato MGM Grand, opens at 10 p.m. Thurs.-Sun. 702.891.3838
No Problems You can get all sorts of drinks at Margaritaville, like the Perfect margarita and the 5 O’ Clock Somewhere, a boat drink, pictured, but that’s just a start. The Volcano Nachos are considered a masterpiece by some, with the cheese and toppings evenly distributed. For a twist on dip, try the asiago crab and artichoke dip. You might not think dessert could be in the plan, but think again! Three words: Key lime pie. –Nina King Flamingo, opens at 8 a.m. daily. 702.733.3302
House of Healing Located on Westgate’s third-floor pool deck, Serenity Spa is one of the city’s hidden gems. And while the space is intimate, the menu is packed full of holistically healing treatments for the body and mind. There’s also the adjacent salon for mani-pedis. Enjoy treatments like the antiaging Essence of Youth facial or the Himalayan Salt Stone Massage, which relieves tension and promotes mind/body balance. –KM Westgate Las Vegas, 6 a.m.-8 p.m. daily. 702.732.5648

In his new book, Hindsight: & All the Things I Can’t See in Front of Me, Justin Timberlake takes readers on an inside-baseball journey into his creative process. It’s not often an artist with more than 32 million albums sold pulls back the curtain, but based on the sample page on his website, he is not holding back: “I’ve been scorned. I’ve been pissed off. That feeling inspired me to write ‘Cry Me a River,’” Timberlake writes. He continues, “I wrote ‘Cry Me a River’ in two hours. I didn’t plan on writing it. The feelings I had were so strong that I had to write it…” “Cry” is as good as any tune Timberlake has ever released, and the one where he crossed over from former boy band member to mainstream powerhouse. The “done wrong by an ex” theme is something every listener can relate to, and the R&B style feels like it could have come from the height of the genre in the 1970s. Timberlake has expanded his repertoire over the years, not only bringing the heartwrenching and dance-crazy hits to the stage, but becoming a solid musical-comedic performer. His work with Andy Samberg on Saturday Night Life, namely their homages to ’90s smooth R&B in parodies like “D*ck in a Box” and “Motherlover,” lives in pop cultural infamy. Then there’s his amazing chemistry with Jimmy Fallon—check out the two of them playing Bee Gees brothers Robin and Barry Gibb on the SNL sketch “The Barry Gibb Talk Show.” Recently on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the host competed against Timberlake’s wife, Jessica Biel, in a game show-type segment to see who knows the pop superstar better. With the new insight the book brings and his constant refinement, now is as good a time as there ever has been to see Justin Timberlake in concert. –Jason Harris T-Mobile Arena, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1, starting at $60 plus tax and fee. 888.929.7849 AXS

songwriters Jeremy Spencer or Danny Kirwan or Bob Welch, who worked alongside and/or right after Green. For many, Fleetwood Mac is all about the band’s ’70s-’80s heyday, when Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham turned out tons of pop-rock hits, from “Don’t Stop” to “Go Your Own Way.” Through it all, Fleetwood and John McVie have anchored the band’s music in rock-solid
rhythms. The current tour features Nicks and Christine McVie, along with recent recruits Mike Campbell on guitar and Neil Finn on guitar and vocals. Set lists have featured songs from throughout Fleetwood Mac’s history, emphasizing the contributions that so many talented people have made over the years, while the band’s namesake musicians have held it all together. –Josh Bell

Jim Gaffigan is the foremost practitioner of clean comedy working today, finding humor in unusual places like his wife’s brain tumor (she’s fine now) or Jell-O (he’s discovered it’s not an old wives’ tale that it’s made from pulverized bone and hooves) rather than a setting that allows him to deliver f-bombs. It’s paid off. Gaffigan’s latest recording, this summer’s Noble Ape, became the top-selling comedy album in July. He draws from an apparently inexhaustible well of observational humor. Sometimes it seems like he’s your chatty taxi driver and you’re his fare, except he’s so entertaining you don’t mind if he long hauls you. Ask your grandparents and they might say he reminds them of Jack Benny, who occupied the same sort of space that Gaffigan occupies today. Gaffigan’s ever-growing family, food, his waistline and his new beard are ceaseless sources of material, with Gaffigan performing in his inimitable style that harkens back to Benny’s droll delivery. His career has already proved to be as enduring as Benny’s, and he still has a long way to go. –Matt Kelemen

What will you find on the new menu? How about Dungeness crab salad, updated with mango and avocado? Beef carpaccio sports fresh horseradish, while filet mignon

and ribeye each come with sauce of red wine or Béarnaise. Foie gras du jour is chef Gregoire’s current favorite on the menu. It combines the unctuousness of foie gras with strawberries and rhubarb. Another excellent choice is Colorado lamb loin, served with a lamb shoulder confit, olive tapenade and baby artichoke. And even vegans can find gourmet fare—the spaghetti squash comes with San Marzano sauce and a vegan truffle cream. –Nina King
With Purple Reign: The Prince Tribute Show, audiences are amazed at how much the show feels like they are watching “The Artist” himself. “We cover the years of his biggest hits—1981 to 1994,” says Jason Tenner, the show’s producer and star. The musical party keeps the focus on hits like “Raspberry Beret,” “Purple Rain,” “When Doves Cry” and “Little Red Corvette.” The raw energy Prince always exuded is uncannily depicted by Tenner. “We attempt to stay as true to the form and artistry of Prince as possible.” –Penny Levin Tropicana, 9 p.m. Tues.-Sat., starting at $49 plus tax and fee. 800.829.9034

Feel the Heat Menopause the Musical can lay claim to being the truest ladies’ night in Las Vegas. The longest-running scripted musical on the Strip is for ladies by ladies, exploring themes of bonding and maturing through parodies of classic songs. Bonding is important to the Menopause experience. The Professional Woman, Soap Star, Earth Mother and Iowa Housewife collide at Bloomingdale’s in New York City while competing for lingerie, but find common ground while musically recounting hot flashes, night sweats and libidinous extremes. The audience is “the fifth girlfriend.” Sometimes the audience becomes “the sixth girlfriend,” as Cindy Williams (Laverne & Shirley) is a regular guest performer. The songs remain the same though, as Aretha Franklin’s “Chain of Fools,” Martha and the Vandellas’ “Heat Wave” and The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” are given new contexts. A dance party breaks out at the end, with the barrier broken between
audience and cast. For men, it can be an educational experience, but for women who have experienced the change, the humor hits home due to the familiar territory. –Matt Kelemen

You Might Know What It’s Like For evidence of the enduring popularity of the music of Brothers Gibb look no further than The Australian Bee Gees Show. The tribute to the hitmakers of the ’60s and disco kings of the ’70s has been staying alive in Las Vegas since 2011, benefiting from the performers’ ongoing reverence for the music and the endless enthusiasm audiences have for the Bee Gees’ songs. Each night, the show draws in those who welcome an onset of night fever and will want to get up and dance. After kicking things off with “Nights on Broadway” and “More Than a
Woman,” the band delivers a British Invasionera selection of songs including “I Started a Joke,” “Massachusetts” and “To Love Somebody” that makes sing-alongs irresistible to many in the audience. A short video homage to early ’70s live music series gives the “brothers” a chance to change from their ’60s fashions into Saturday Night Fever style, and the audience to hit the dance floor. –Matt Kelemen Excalibur, 7 p.m. Sun.-Thurs. & Sat., $49.95$59.95 plus tax and fee. 702.597.7600

A Sizzling Night
Quick With the Hits “A lot of people are afraid of heights,” Steven Wright begins. Then he finishes with, “Not me, I’m afraid of widths.” What? He is at once brilliant and absurd, a comedian who has influenced many but really can’t be compared to any. Now 62, the recognizably Boston comic is celebrating 40 years in stand-up comedy. That is, in itself, an accomplishment, but when you think of the amount of material Wright has generated with his distinct style, it’s truly remarkable. Filling an hour is a major task for comics, but even tougher when each joke has to hit the standard Wright has set and in
such a precise manner. For the most part, he is a tight setup/punchline man. He takes a familiar idea and then blasts it off into another planet. Example: “Someone asked me if I were stranded on a desert island what book would I bring … ‘How to Build a Boat’.” Sometimes he’s even more concise. The ability to pack so much thought into something so concise and make it so funny is a skill that only a few have mastered. Wright asks, “What’s another word for thesaurus?” We’re not sure, but it’s safe to say another name for genius is Steven Wright. –Jason Harris

Man With a Plan With the French-influenced all-day fare at Primrose, the classic-yet-upbeat Bavette’s Steakhouse from Chicago and the newly opened NoMad Restaurant, an icon of fine dining from Manhattan, the new restaurant offerings at Park MGM have been a model of refined style. Now it’s time for something else: the straight-from-thestreet food and attitude of Best Friend, a new creation from pioneering L.A. chef Roy Choi. The man behind the Kogi BBQ food truck empire is ready to blend his L.A. Koreatown roots with the edgiest aspects of Vegas dining with this unique restaurant slated to open Dec. 28. The entrance is modeled after a corner liquor store while the main dining room has the feel of a picnic in a sleek, serene garden environment— with some neon art thrown in for good measure.

Feelin’” and “Unchained Melody,” validate their existence at Harrah’s. The show is mostly a tribute to the career of the Righteous Brothers and Bobby Hatfield (who died in 2003), but has plenty more to offer. Heard belts out “Ebb Tide,” while Medley joins his daughter McKenna to sing “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” Medley then mixes it up with “Great Getting Up Morning,” and then gets bluesy with his original, “This Will Be the Last Time.” –Alex Haase
Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club opened in 2012, but Garrett’s Vegas roots are much deeper. He played his first Vegas gig in 1986 at Desert Inn, opening for Crystal Gayle, and soon became the warm-up act for legends like Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra. He was working at MGM Grand when he landed a role on Everybody Loves Raymond, and the rest is history. But Garrett still loves stand-up, and appears at his Vegas club at least once a month. This week catch Dave Landau and Trixx. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

He’s So Brash Although Andrew Dice Clay (Tropicana, 800.829.9034) reinvented his career satirizing himself in Dice and portraying Lady Gaga’s father in the recent film A Star Is Born, he’s still a comedian through and through, even if his vulgar persona gets him in trouble. “It’s in-yourface comedy,” Clay says. But ultimately, it’s not about the vulgarity. “It’s about making people laugh about themselves,” he says. “People need entertainment in these times … they need to escape and laugh.” –Las Vegas Magazine Staff
Tales and Tunes Joely Fisher speaks frankly about “growing up in a fishbowl” as the daughter of “Hollywood royalty,” singer Eddie Fisher and actress/singer Connie “Cricket” Stevens. Fisher, the half-sister of the late Carrie Fisher and Todd Fisher (Eddie and Debbie Reynold’s daughter and son), opened up about her incredible life during a recent interview, and said she plans on doing the same at her Vegas show. “I want people to be transported (into my experiences) by my telling some stories of my life,” which includes family and the
famous people she grew up with. “During my show, I will take you on a little ride, so buckle up!” laughed Fisher. “I might even let people in on some secrets. When my mother split up with Eddie Fisher it hit all the tabloids. And remember two of his other wives were icons in Hollywood, too … Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor.” Fisher could fill a book with her stories—and she did exactly that in Growing Up Fisher. In her Vegas show, Fisher will also sing and talk about her musical, film and TV roles. –Penny Levin
Seduction Junction Sexxy (Westgate Las Vegas, 800.222.5361) is not your typical topless show. Not by a long shot. When is the last time you saw a strip tease to a Björk song? Sexxy hits on multiple styles of dance, from the cabaretstyle numbers like “Big Spender” to rock classics like “Cherry Pie.” But the real highlight is producer/ performer Jennifer Romas and her bathtub set piece, an intoxicating blend of dance and acrobatics. –Ken Miller
A Little Lighter Penn & Teller have been performing their brand of magic and comedy for four decades, and continuously updating their material. It’s been historically consistent in its slightly dark tone, but the mood feels different at current shows, maybe even … family friendly. For example, children of all ages are invited onstage for a bit that involves a pygmy elephant—or at least a close approximation of one. But audiences don’t fret—the show still peppers in some of the darker moments that the two magicians originally became famous for. –Matt Kelemen Rio, 9 p.m. Sat.-Wed.

Nevada offers many different, enjoyable ways to experience its desert terrain—hiking, ATV tours, helicopter tours—but for a truly unique way to see the state’s natural wonders, head to Camel Safari in Bunkerville, about an hour’s drive from Las Vegas. Take your pick from among nearly 30 camels and get ready for not just a great way to travel, but a profound bonding experience as well—before you even get on your camel, you spend a half hour getting to know your animal (and vice versa). Then you’re off. Camel Safari covers 176 acres of the Great Basin, with views of the Virgin Mountains. Since your camel is being led by a guide, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to take in as much scenery as you want—when you’re not marveling over the fact that you’re atop a camel. Once your trip is over, there’s still so much to see and do. The Camel Safari moniker would suggest just one type of animal here, but there are actually more than 50 different animals you can interact with here—sloths, llamas, even zebras. –Ken Miller

Old-School Vibes Few cities have changed more in the last 40 years than Las Vegas. But one place has remained basically unchanged since it opened in 1982: The Steak House at Circus Circus. True to its old-school vibe, The Steak House doesn’t feature signature cocktails, but it gets all the classics just right. Seafood appetizers are fresh and appealing, particularly the Seafood Sensation, a presentation of oysters, crab and shrimp.

And you really can’t go wrong with any of the steak selections here. Prime rib fans would be remiss in passing up The Steak House’s version. And from filet mignon to ribeye, the remaining selections are no less stellar. Not in the mood for a steak? No worries. The Steak House also offers seafood dishes like broiled lobster tail, sweet chili glazed salmon and Alaskan king crab legs. Other standout options include lamb chops and chicken breast. –KM

What’s B.J. Thomas’ most impressive career accomplishment? Some might point to the American singer’s crossover appeal, as Thomas has enjoyed five decades of success in the pop, country and Christian music realms. Others might say it’s his deep catalog of hit songs, the three most iconic being “Hooked on a Feeling” (which reached No. 5 in 1968); “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head”; and “(Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song.” Or perhaps it’s Thomas’ five Grammy Awards. Or his commercial appeal (Coca-Cola and Pepsi have sampled his songs in jingles). Or maybe, just maybe, Thomas’ most impressive accomplishment is that, at 76 years old, he still possesses the vocal chops and stamina to perform dozens of shows across the globe each year. –Matt Jacob

The northeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street has been transformed from a run-of-the-mill parking lot into a park with a purpose. The Lyft Art Park was created to alleviate congestion and confusion out of hailing a ride downtown. “We don’t need parking lots, we need to get rid of parking lots downtown,” said Yacob Girma, Lyft Nevada general manager. “We did a pop-up during Life is Beautiful and we thought it was time to do a more permanent space.” Vehicles don’t travel through the art park. Rather, rides are organized in an alleyway that runs adjacent to Fremont Street between the neighboring businesses and a parking lot behind The Ogden. Rides are offered between 6 p.m. and 4 a.m., working around delivery times for the businesses. The space serves as an easy spot to locate your ride. “We do thousands of rides per week just out of this lot on a weekly basis, so this area gets a little bit hectic,” Girma said. “So, there is a designated area where passengers know to go and we have a staging area for them and it makes the operation a lot smoother.” Visitors are instantly greeted by “Long View,” a 35-foot-tall polar bear statue by DKLA Design made from salvaged white car hoods. A cartoon pink taxi and a three-story Victorian house and other items join the bear, in addition to oversized games of chess and cornhole to play while you wait for your ride. –Mick Akers

Lounge Bound
If you’re looking to sit back and relax, try these spots Start at the very beginning—a very good place to start. That would be The Lobby Bar inside Caesars Palace, the first stop to make if you’re on a drinking tour of Caesars Palace’s lounge offerings. The Lobby Bar has been in place since Caesars Palace first opened its doors, and it was a favorite late-night haunt of some of the music industry’s heavy hitters, including Frank Sinatra and his pals. While décor and drinks have been updated over the years, the lounge is focused on offering classic cocktails and rare spirits. There’s also a nod to Ol’ Blue Eyes himself with the Chairman’s Manhattan, mixed with Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select Tennessee whiskey. For views that are not technically real, head to Vista Cocktail Lounge. You can visually travel the world through the lounge’s modern technology—the walls are covered in LED screens that broadcast crisp and real-life imagery like the Manhattan skyline at dusk, rain falling on the city of Shanghai and the exotic cityscape of Dubai. When inside Vista, it’s meant to feel as if you’re in an entirely different city. The lounge is also a prime spot for some group imbibing—try one of the various and delicious punch bowls that serve multiple people at once. Don’t worry about anyone needing to wave the smoke out of the air when you’re relaxing at Montecristo Cigar Bar. The 4,000-square-foot lounge is equipped with state-of-the-art filtration systems set up into four distinct areas to chill: the Signature Bar, where you can take a seat and chat with the bartenders; the Library, where you can catch the latest sports; the Courtyard, where faux foliage and sunlight create an outdoor paradise; and the Vault Room, where you and some friends can privately splurge on rare cigars and whiskies. For another late-night hot spot where the music is pumping as well as the drinks, Alto Bar is always packed, especially on weekends when a live DJ spins from 9 p.m.-4 a.m. It’s situated right across from the entrance of impressive megaclub Omnia, so there’s always prime people-watching entertainment. Alto is the largest lounge on the property and offers plenty of seating and private booths—and best of all, there’s no cover charge to visit. –Kiko Miyasato

As for the burgers, Perrazzo says he traveled the country trying to find the best and then outdo them. The griddle burger is the classic, with the beef getting its crust from the heat of the hot griddle. It's topped with American cheese and accoutrements including griddled onions. The steamed burger is the chef’s homage to a White Castle-style slider, but much higher quality. Finally, the prime dry-aged steakhouse burger is inspired by Perrazzo’s time working at Bradley Ogden years ago in Las Vegas. It’s a proper high-class, two-handed delight. All the meat, much of which you can see hanging in the butcher’s window upon entry into the restaurant, is prime. Perrazzo sources his meat from the same farm as big-time New York Where do you go when you crave a juicy burger and amazing vegan wings? Wait, let’s back up a step. Have you ever craved vegan wings? You will if you try the meatless wonders at b.B.d’s (Beers Burgers Desserts). And the good news is you can also get three—soon to be four—different kinds of killer burgers there, too. The New York gastropub found critical acclaim on Long Island and in citywide burger competitions. But it’s the variety of the menu and, more importantly, the quality of that variety that makes it perfect for Las Vegas. Let’s take the wings, for instance. We’ll revisit those vegan ones in a bit, but for now let’s focus on fowl. There are naked confit wings, boneless wings, Japanese duck drumsticks, saucy wings and, best of all, broiled wings. The last of the bunch are home-style bad boys, coated with chili hot sauce before they are cooked so when they do get broiled, all the flavors penetrate deep into the fowl. Meanwhile, the sauce gets charred and sticks to the outside, giving it a texture and taste unlike any other wing I’ve had in Las Vegas. The vegan wings—there is a good-sized vegan section on this menu that includes burgers, meatball Parm and cheesesteak sandwiches, among others—are made from seitan that Chef Ralph Perrazzo has imported from Philadelphia from an individual purveyor. Any buffalo wing fan will be happy with the heat and the crunch on these alternative wings. Don’t forget the mozzarella sticks. Each is so thick, it shouldn’t be a surprise if your table lets out a Joey Lawrence-style “Whoa!” upon first sight. And Korean BBQ fries are covered in kimchi, bulgogi and a sunny-side up egg.

steakhouses Peter Luger’s and Smith & Wollensky. He takes the necks and rear quarters to create his grinds, each with a different percentage of fat to get optimum tastes and textures. The upcoming luncheonette burger will be ground twice, broiled under high heat and be yet another taste unto itself. And the beer and dessert angle should not be neglected. The beer program has a custom cleaning system and calibrates all its lines to the altitude of the city to ensure the freshest brews around. And those are some delicious beverages, available in several sizes, in cans and even from the cask! Soft-serve ice cream is made on the premises here, with the oversized sundaes being particularly impressive. Palace Station Noon-midnight daily. 702.367.2411

Chris Finkenor
Refinining the guest experience on the Strip Early on in his life, Chris Finkenor decided to trade a career on Wall Street for one in the nightlife industry, and he’s thrived ever since. The Long Island, N.Y., native is currently director of guest development at Catch at Aria, an outpost of the celebrity favorite from New York and Los Angeles, and he’s ready to make your experience in Las Vegas a memorable one. Finkenor credits Catch Hospitality Group co-founders Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum with his success. “They were the first to really give me a chance.” He began his career as floor manager at their club, SL, in New York’s Meatpacking District. Over the next seven years, his titles have included general manager of New York’s Catch Roof, Finale Nightclub, Marquee and Lavo, also serving as director of nightlife for Mark and Eugene. When he was told about the
32 11.25.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
Catch expansion in Las Vegas, he jumped at the chance, moving here in August. His job here is “creating experiences for people. I’m not just here to help them go from Catch restaurant to Catch lounge, but to create experiences for them across the MGM portfolio,” including show tickets and much more. Whether you want to be pampered or to just be left alone, Finkenor will make you feel special. And he loves Vegas for its over-the-top quality. “Vegas is a lot. It’s like sensory overload all the time. It’s really interesting and I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to it, walking out into a casino after I get off work. But I really enjoy that everyone is here to have a good time. Everyone wants to do more than they normally would, but also everyone expects the highest level of service.” –Ken Miller
Catch has two different cocktail programs: its signature restaurant cocktails and its lounge cocktails. And for one of the most eye-catching libations on the Strip, order the Catch 22 from the lounge cocktail list. It’s a delicious blend of Absolut Elyx vodka, yuzu sake, fresh-squeezed lemon juice and housemade cordial, poured over a small scoop of housemade blue cotton candy. “It’s really something cool to see,” Finkenor says. “The cotton candy gives it that really cool appearance and that sweetening balance. It’s something that both guys and girls can enjoy.” –KM

Takeout counter offers great Mexican cuisine Celebrity chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger have long maintained a dominant presence on the Strip’s Mexican food landscape with Border Grill at Mandalay Bay. This year they introduced a neat little package of bold flavors with BBQ Mexicana (702.632.7403), a takeout counter operation steps away from the restaurant and ideally situated for business travelers and conventioneers looking for a quick bite. It’s a fast-casual eatery with a low-and-slow philosophy: You know
you’re close when the aroma of smoked meat strikes. Fill up with a pulled pork, avocado chicken or burnt ends brisket burrito, stuffed with hand-crafted ingredients like chipotle coleslaw, crispy jalepeños or barbecue mole sauce. The smoked tofu bowl with cilantro lime rice, quinoa and charred corn relish offers a lighter bite without sacrificing deliciousness, and the chorizo and potato breakfast burrito is becoming a fast favorite for those on the go. Slow down and savor every bite. –Brock Radke

Begin your meal with a delectable steak tartare atop buttery sourdough toast. Signature dishes include a sweet and robust squid ink pasta similar to carbonara and a seared sea bass served with pea and mint risotto. But the steaks are the real stars. The 16-ounce ribeye delivers a melt-in-your-mouth experience; go medium-rare to enjoy the rich marbling. –Leslie Ventura

It also offers the first restaurant version of popular L.A. sushi burrito truck Jogasaki, the island-style Fist of Fusion Grill and a second, expanded store for The Goodwich, one of the city’s all-time great sandwich shops. –BR

Newest tour brings Nine Inch Nails’ energy to the fans Nine Inch Nails took merely six months off from the road between the end of the I Can’t Seem to Wake Up 2017 Tour, and the launch of this year’s series of live dates in June at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Trent Reznor led the live version of his band on a three-night odyssey of back-catalog material for those concerts, during which he debuted his David Bowie-esque croon on “God Break Down the Door” from Nine Inch Nails’ latest album Bad Witch, and was joined by synthpop visionary Gary Numan on the final evening for a cover of Numan’s “Metal.” Numan’s guest appearance, with both he and Reznor sharing a keyboard at one point, was captured by director Brook Linder in starkly glorious black and white for a video that conveys the shadows-and-smoke minimalist aesthetic Reznor adopted for Nine Inch Nails’ Cold and Black and Infinite Tour, which kicked off in September with two dates in Phoenix. Reznor also released a clip from the Joint concerts for Bad Witch track “Ahead of Ourselves” (highlighted by touring member Ilan Rubin’s propulsive drumming) that effectively conveyed the kinetic intensity of Nine Inch Nails’ latest shows. Reznor, who in 2016 announced his film-scoring collaborator Atticus Ross had become a full-time official member of Nine Inch Nails, evidently likes the Joint enough to return to the Hard Rock for two dates as part of the 2018 tour. The Jesus and Mary Chain is scheduled to open the shows, and although the band led by brothers William and Jim Reid was an influence on Reznor’s early musical

directions—an embryonic Nine Inch Nails opened for Jesus and Mary Chain when Reznor was shaping the band’s live act—there has been no advance word on whether the Reids will join Reznor, Ross, Rubin, guitarist Robin Finck and keyboardist Alessandro Cortini onstage as Numan did. Nine Inch Nails’ early live act developed in fits and starts, but by the time the band appeared at Lollapalooza in 1991, Reznor had found the right combination of musicians that breathed life into the industrial-influenced, synthesizer-based compositions from 1989 debut Head Like a Hole in a live setting. Like the music, Reznor as a performer was dark, defiant, aggressive and dangerous to himself and others. Nobody seems to get hurt nowadays, but as a live performer Reznor is in his prime. He and his bandmates have the energy and stamina to deliver inspired marathon concerts, therefore they do. The no-frills, smoke-and-strobe set design allows Nine Inch Nails to prove itself via performance alone. Reznor has been working steadily creating music for films since he and Ross scored David Fincher’s The Social Network, for which they won a an Academy Award. (Their work can currently be heard in theaters in Jonah Hill’s coming-of-age comedy Mid90s, and will be featured next year in director Joe Wright’s The Woman in the Window and the HBO series Watchmen.) He makes no secret of his love for film scoring, so a Nine Inch Nail fan would have to have a head like a hole to not catch the band while they are reportedly delivering some of the best concerts in the band’s threedecade history.

get back with Jeff Beck and pick up where the two left off in 1969. Both guitarist and singer have proven to be restless souls since the dissolution of the first Jeff Beck Group, with the singer first taking refuge with the hard-partying Faces before embarking on a simultaneous solo career that soon surpassed that band’s success. Rod Stewart: The Hits draws mainly from Stewart’s solo career, with a few covers thrown in that he either made into hits for himself or reveal a primary influence such as Sam Cooke. Buoyed by his 13-piece band, Stewart has the energy of a performer 20 years younger. His raspy voice has aged gracefully, as have songs such as “Some Guys Have All the Luck” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” The band customarily opens shows with Bar-Kays instrumental “Soul Finger” before Stewart takes the stage. He’s reached deep into his catalog for album cuts such as “The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II)” and delivered covers from peers he appreciates for singing style (Van Morrison’s “Have I Told You Lately ”), songwriting ability (Tom Waits’ “Downtown Train”) or performance energy (Ike & Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limits”). Then there are the soccer balls. Can Stewart bear to be onstage in Vegas without kicking balls into the crowd? It’s not likely he’ll find that acceptable. Expect Stewart to have discovered some miraculous healing powers before the next Colosseum shows, or perhaps bring one of his young sons with wife Penny Lancaster-Stewart to come out and do the honors.
Rod Stewart returns for his Colosseum residency The latest six of dates for Rod Stewart’s Las Vegas residency are the last time to catch him anywhere in the U.S. for the rest of the year, and possibly through next summer. Stewart already has a tour of the U.K. starting in June, but no stateside dates set up and no 2019 dates scheduled yet for Rod Stewart: The Hits at the Colosseum inside Caesars Palace … yet. The 73-year-old singer injured his right foot while indulging in his favorite sport, so he may be seeing how things heal up before filling out his schedule for the upcoming year. Other than that, he’s in a good place, and aside from his trademark soccer ball kicked into the audience possibly being affected, there’s no holding back Stewart from the stage. He spent the summer touring with opener Cyndi Lauper to promote his latest album, Blood Red Roses, which was released in September. Stewart performed two songs from the album, “Hole in My Heart” and Irish rebel song “Grace” during his summer Colosseum dates, but for his latest tour dates he’s been including his rendition of blues classic “Rollin’ and Tumblin’,” also recorded for the new album, during his latest tour. Between that and the hard-rocking “Vegas Shuffle,” which sounds like it could have been performed by Stewart and Ron Wood when they were in the Faces, Stewart might somewhat slake the thirst of fans who still wish he’d

Metallica hasn’t finished building its legacy Calling Metallica the biggest band in heavy metal doesn’t even begin to describe the Bay Area quartet’s level of popularity and influence. With 125 million albums sold worldwide, numerous indelible hit songs, some of the most successful concert tours ever mounted and a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Metallica is one of the most important groups in American popular music of the last 40 years. Even with all those achievements, Metallica has never been a band to sit back and coast on past glories. Catch Metallica in concert now, and you’ll hear numerous songs from the band’s most recent album, 2016’s Hardwired… to Self-Destruct, alongside classics like “One,” “Enter Sandman,” “Master of Puppets” and “Creeping Death.” Hardwired is as heavy and intense as any music the band has created since debuting with 1983’s Kill ’Em All, and the album made it onto many lists of the best metal albums of 2016. Singles “Hardwired,” “Moth Into Flame,” “Spit Out the Bone,” “Now That We’re Dead” and “Atlas, Rise!” all made the top five of the Billboard mainstream rock charts, and Hardwired was nominated for three Grammy Awards. As successful as Hardwired has been, it’s nothing compared to the band’s greatest achievement, with its 1991 self-titled fifth album (commonly known as The Black Album), which remains one of the longestlasting albums on the Billboard album charts (at more than 500 weeks), and one of the best-selling albums of all time worldwide. Although Metallica’s earlier albums achieved critical
46 11.25.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
By Josh Bell Photo by Herring & Herring
acclaim and helped establish the thrash metal subgenre, The Black Album took the band to a whole other level, with its more accessible hard rock sound and massive arena-friendly hooks, on songs like “Sad but True,” “Wherever I May Roam,” “The Unforgiven,” “Nothing Else Matters” and, most importantly, “Enter Sandman,” which is still the band’s most well-known song and closes nearly every Metallica concert. Singer-guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich have formed the songwriting core of Metallica since its earliest days, and guitarist Kirk Hammett has played alongside them since just before Kill ’Em All was recorded. The band is currently rounded out by bassist Robert Trujillo, who joined in 2003, making for a remarkably stable lineup in an era when many classic rock acts feature only one or two members who’ve been around for any substantial amount of time. With the ferocity and dedication that Metallica still brings to its albums and live shows, there’s no reason it can’t hold onto its place as the biggest band in metal for years to come. “A lot of people are retiring, and we feel very energized and rejuvenated,” Ulrich recently told radio station WMMR. “I mean, we want to go long. We hope we can get another 20, 25 years out of Metallica.”

Getting Deep
The closest one can get to the deep blue sea without driving four hours from Las Vegas might just be at the south end of the Strip. Shark Reef Aquarium (Mandalay Bay, 702.632.4555) has allowed visitors to get up close and personal with marine life for 17 years, whether separated from the various Shark Reef inhabitants by a waterproof transparent partition or brought together at a touch pool.

In the aquarium, hammerheads are among the 15 shark species that can be sighted through the first windows into the underwater world guests see through, and the touch pool allows people to lean over and gingerly feel a ray or horseshoe crab. The latest addition to Shark Reef Aquarium is Polar Journey. Inside, a wall projection allows children to feed virtual krill to underwater

And for the holidays, check out Santa in the Shipwreck, which features a scuba-diving Santa, his friend Santa Jaws and other holiday treats. –Matt Kelemen
