over 11 albums. Is it getting difficult to assemble your set list and still find some room for newer material?

Yes. It’s always hard to go out and play any new songs because you have to take out a hit. We go back and forth and switch it up every year, whether we want to keep current or do all hits. This year it’s all hits. I took the stars of all the records. But I just cut four new songs in the studio so I may pick one of those, or two.

Gary Allan

Singer’s still got country soul National Finals Rodeo week is a December fixture in Vegas and prominent country artist Gary Allan always comes to town to celebrate. With his independent, rebellious style, classic sound and dedication to song craft, it’s no wonder Allan has achieved a rare longevity and consistency in the ever-changing industry, dropping hits from 2003’s “Nothing On But the Radio” to 2013’s “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain).” This year he’ll perform Dec. 14-15 at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel.

It’s December and that means you’re back in Las Vegas, like clockwork. How many years have you been doing this?

At least 20. I remember I got signed in ’96 and I don’t think I’ve missed a year since then. I

12 12.9.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

grew up in Orange County and I used to always end the year with a birthday drive up to Vegas, and now I’m in Nashville, so it’s the last trek to the West Coast at the end of the year. It’s definitely important to be there and have a presence in Las Vegas.

Why? Is Vegas one of your favorite places to perform?

It’s definitely top 10. There are some pretty magical venues and the only reason it’s not higher is the venue has changed. But it was a magical place for me growing up, too. When I was a kid of 16 or 17, my best friend’s dad was the general manager of the Stardust.

This was like ’78, the mob days.

We would go stay there every other weekend. ... I learned then that I really didn’t miss anything before noon but I missed a lot of stuff after midnight, and that probably ruined me as a kid.

You have several No. 1 singles and so many favorites spread

You’re known for doing things your way, maintaining your sound and style through the years. Has your creative process changed much?

It has. It has shortened, the whole industry has. You used to have a staff of songwriters and you’d write with them and pick out the stars of the session, make a demo and pass it around town. The whole town (Nashville) has lost the demo phase. Everyone is doing things in-house and transferring to the studio. I’ve always had to bend a little to get my music to sound as current as it needs to be to get on the radio but this is probably the most difficult time I’ve seen. Country music used to be the most organic thing on the radio and we were proud of it.

You have definitely been called a country throwback. Is that due to your parents’ influence?

Your father was a musician.

I love all the old stuff but it’s always been evolving. There are no genres anymore where it used to be very distinct. Country has always been happy not being as big as other genres, but that has changed. ... The ones I’ve always been influenced by is everything by Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash.

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.

A Rising Voice Twenty-one-year-old R&B phenom Gabriella Wilson performs under the name H.E.R., which stands for “Having Everything Revealed.”

Since she signed with RCA Records two years ago and started releasing a series of EPs, she’s been slowly pulling back the curtain on her own unique brand of slow-burning soul.

H.E.R. hasn’t yet released a proper debut studio album but

has already emerged as one of the brightest new stars in the genre, currently riding high on collaborative singles “Could’ve Been” with Bryson Tiller and “This Way” with Khalid.

She was in Las Vegas last month, where she won two trophies at the Soul Train Music Awards, and she returns to the city to take the stage at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay on Dec. 13.

All The Vegas Adam Steck “My first foray was doing raves and house parties in the cornfields of Iowa. It was called Ravestock in 1996 and there were thousands of people in the middle of nowhere. It was really cool and fun and I just thought, this is what I want to do. This is my calling. That led into other things and I got into the world of promoters and Bill Graham was who I wanted to be. He was the man and I was just infatuated with his career. The first show I did in Fairfield (Iowa) was someone who was an opening act at Woodstock, Richie Havens. That was my first concert, at 21 years old in the old high school auditorium, and it sold out. So I knew, this is it, this is what I wanted to do.” For more with SPI Entertainment creator Adam Steck, visit allthevegas.com.

Terry Fator kicked off the holiday season in Las Vegas with the debut of this year’s A Very Terry Christmas show over Thanksgiving weekend, adding a new character to his act. An adorable Justin Bieber puppet “sings” his hit “Love Yourself” and debates with the angel and devil on his puppet shoulders, portrayed, respectively, by Dolly Parton and Ozzy Osbourne mini-puppets.

Grammy Award-nominated musician Anderson .Paak was spotted hanging at a VIP table at Tao Nightclub at The Venetian as his friend Justin Credible controlled the club from the DJ booth. The rapper, singer, drummer and producer just released third studio album Oxnard to great critical and commercial acclaim.

The Alexis Park Resort, just off the Strip on Harmon Avenue, has reopened its Pegasus Showroom and launched two new shows produced by Admit VIP. The Comics Battle, a battle of the wits comedy show hosted by John Hilder, runs Thursday through Sunday at 9 p.m., and Martinis & Magic starring Naathan Phan runs Sunday through Thursday at 7 p.m. offering magic, comedy, singing, impressions and more.

Comedian and actor Pauly Shore was so impressed with the female acrobats known as the Silicon Valley Girls at a recent showing of Absinthe at Caesars Palace, he blasted out a video via Instagram: “Amazing show tonight in Las Vegas … check out these girls, they’re quite extraordinary.” Of course, Shore went backstage after the show for a photo with The Gazillionaire.

All the Talent

Imaginative variety show is a must-see production Since Absinthe took up residency in the big white tent in front of Caesars Palace seven years ago, the outlandish and imaginative variety show has evolved from an upstart, buzzed-about entertainment experiment to one of the Strip’s must-see productions, an amalgamation of comedy, dance, acrobatics, burlesque and other aweinspiring acts that defy common description and keeps audiences coming back for more. How does that happen? Well, the production stays fresh and fast by incorporating new acts and undiscovered talent into its revolving repertoire.

That formula assures Absinthe will keep getting better as it gets bigger.

The irreverent host, The Gazillionaire, seems to get more raunchy and rowdy with every 90-minute run, guiding the audience through an array of sexy, stylish acts while his assistant,

Absinthe photo by Christopher DeVargas

Wanda Widdles, sometimes steals the spotlight with an even more offensive sense of humor.

Other acclaimed performers that get the show rolling are Maxim, who builds a tower of readyto-topple chairs, and the Green Fairy, a seductive singer who heats up the Spiegeltent with a single smile.

All are astounded by dangerously fast brothersister duo Billy and Emily England (who appeared on season 12 of America’s Got Talent), a favorite Absinthe act since the British siblings joined the show in 2015. Their edgy performance—certainly the most risqué and stressful activity ever to happen on roller skates—creates an exciting tension in the audience, but it breaks as soon as another family act hits the stage, equally talented twin tap dancers Sean and John Scott.

Aerial expert David O’mer spins traditional bur-

lesque performance in an entirely new direction with his bathtub-based performance while the Silicon Valley Girls—one of the newest Absinthe acts—incorporate elements of dance, contortion and gymnastics while showcasing incredible strength and balance.

With such a deep roster of diverse talent, Absinthe is almost an entirely different show every time you see it. Audience interaction only adds to that unpredictable and spontaneous feeling, always increasing the show’s reputation as one of the wildest experiences to be found in Las Vegas.

Still crazy after seven years, Absinthe is amping itself up all over again. –Brock Radke Caesars Palace, 8 & 10 p.m. daily, $99-$139 VVIP plus tax and fee, 18+.

Country Comedy It’s not National Finals Rodeo time in Las Vegas without Rodney Carrington. Year after year, cowboys and cowgirls alike spend at least one night of their Vegas stay cracking up to the Texas-born funnyman’s laid-back comedy and to his country songs,

most of which are funny but a few of which are straight down the line. Starched jeans, cowboy boots, colorful solid button-down shirt, 10-gallon hat—the man knows how to maximize his salt-of-the-earth image. Carrington has proven his worth not just onstage,

but onscreen as well. He starred as the titular character on Rodney, a sitcom about a guy who wants to quit his job and become a stand-up comedian. Sound familiar?

Cowpoke or not, you’ve got to catch Rodney Carrington live. –Jason Harris

Songwriter Supreme John Prine has been releasing albums and performing live since the early 1970s, but plenty of country and folk music fans still might not know who he is, even if they know his songs. Prine songs like “Angel From Montgomery,” “Paradise” and “Sam Stone” have been covered by dozens of other artists. No lesser figures than Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash have cited Prine as one of their favorite songwriters, and Prine is a sort of patron saint to the current crop of alternative Americana stars.

A number of those artists, including Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires and Brandi Carlile, make guest appearances on Prine’s most recent album, this past April’s The Tree of Forgiveness On tour, Prine always performs solo, with just his guitar, his voice and his timeless songs to captivate the audience.

Even if you’ve never heard him sing them, there’s a good chance those songs have reached out to you from somewhere. In Vegas, he’s joined by Grammywinning singer John Paul White, a respected artist in his own right. –Josh Bell

Walnut prawns are given the tempura treatment, which are then coated in sweet pineapple glaze and adorned with candied walnuts, while kicking calamari has a lighter coating and is accompanied by peanuts, bell pepper, onion and chiles.

Not Tied Down Kane Brown’s most recent album (released in November) is titled Experiment, and that’s a good way to describe the hybrid style of the rising young country-pop singer. Brown grew up listening to both country and R&B, and nearly ended up as part of a prefab boy band when he was a contender for singing competition series The X Factor. He later grabbed the attention of country-music fans via posting popular country covers on YouTube, which led to his first major-label deal and early hits “Used to Love You Sober,” “What Ifs” and “Heaven.” He draws from that diverse background for his music, and he co-wrote nearly every song on Experiment, led by first single “Lose It.” “Brown erases the lines between the past and the present, and this blurriness is the strength of Experiment,” All Music said, and Rolling Stone called the album “an ambitious testament to his eclectic, big-hearted vision.” It includes “American Bad Dream,” a reflection on the 2017 tragedy at Las Vegas’ Route 91

Harvest festival, where Brown had performed just a few hours earlier. That sensitive response to the state of the world is just another example of how Brown sets himself apart. –Josh Bell

Flavor Nation For decades, the Bacchanal Room at Caesars Palace defined the over-the-top gourmet experience that could be had in Las Vegas. That classic restaurant closed many years ago, but that spirit’s reborn at the Bacchanal Buffet.

The old-school Bacchanal spirit is used only for inspiration, but make no mistake: This is no ordinary buffet. It specializes in producing and serving a huge amount of food—more than 500 different dishes daily. There’s a fresh seafood bar; deli and pizza stops; Mexican, Italian, Chinese and Japanese food stations; a decadent

dessert depot; and an all-American carving station serving classic barbecue and other meats from a wood-burning smoker.

You can elevate the experience by ordering specialty items, including a whole fish presentation (priced per pound extra), which will be delivered to your table. And for even more luxury, order the whole poached lobster, which includes immediate seating. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Caesars Palace, 7:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Mon.Fri., 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Sat.-Sun., prices vary. 702.731.7928

SPOTLIGHT What’s going on with your fitness between these shows, each over two hours, and the three-and-a-half hour burners you guys are doing with Bruce? And how do I get that fit?

Honestly, the music literally lifts you up and carries you. No matter how you are feeling—you might feel tired or a little bit sick—however you are feeling, that music starts, man, and it’s like jumping into the rapids in a little canoe.

Zoom! It’s just lifts you up and carries you.

It’s amazing, the power of music in that way.

There’s no other real explanation. We should have been dying decades ago, but we just keep going. We’re getting stronger. I think this is the best band I’ve ever had.

Might you be touring with multiple bands?

We’ll see what Bruce wants to do. I think after 15 months on Broadway—he’ll be going right through December. He’s been doing 15 months, 5 days a week. I think he’s going to want to take some time off. So we’ll see. But if he doesn’t, if he makes that phone call, then we’ll do that.

If not, we’ll do Disciples of Soul next year until Bruce is ready to go back out.

How did you go from Miami Steve to Little Steven?

(Laughs) I just felt that Miami was so associated with The E Street Band. That was a character, the role I played in The E Street Band. The party guy, the wild guy, the rock ’n’ roll guy. When it came time for me to be me, I felt I needed a different identity to start fresh. With Little Steven, I had to be a little more thoughtful, more political, a very different set of characteristics.

Steven Van Zandt

Rocker brings feel-good vibe to Las Vegas From Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band to The Sopranos, musician Steven Van Zandt has certainly made his mark on pop culture. Currently touring in support of Soulfire with his band, The Disciples of Soul, Van Zandt—or Little Steven, as he’s called on this tour—took some time to talk to Las Vegas Magazine’s Jason Harris. He performs at Mandalay Bay’s House of Blues on Dec. 14.

What should the audience expect?

It’s gonna be fun. People don’t get to see a 15-piece band very often. Five horns, three singers … it’s a bigger sound than people are used to.

It’s kind of blowing minds, you know?

20 12.9.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

Tell me about your Rock and Roll Forever Foundation and the TeachRock curriculum.

We’re inviting teachers to come to the show for free. We put aside 500 to 600 tickets for teachers. It doesn’t matter what grade level they teach or discipline they teach. Any teacher can come to the show for free and bring a friend and if they want to attend the free workshop, we do that at 6 p.m., right after the sound check, and we talk about our curriculum that my foundation has written up. We went public with it this year and we’ve already registered 12,000 teachers.

We got a whole bunch of teachers teaching this curriculum already and we just started.

I’ve never seen camaraderie like you and Bruce have onstage. What’s going on there?

Well, when we grew up, we saw all these bands having fun. We took it literally and we were already friends for almost 10 years before I joined The E Street Band. So, we go way back to being local guys, we were the two local freaks that reinforced each other’s belief in rock ’n’ roll. Nobody else really believed in rock ’n’ roll like a religion like we did. We strengthened each other’s resolve when everybody else was laughing at us and considering us borderline criminals. Misfits, outcasts. It was an important friendship that we had early on and it just stayed. It never went away. And then we ended up playing together and we communicated that friendship to the audience, which is what bands are all about.

Holiday Humor

Sense of Wonder Tape Face doesn’t need much to entertain. The silent prop comic’s bag of tricks includes tape measures, toilet paper, a toilet seat, a plunger, balloons, oven mitts, a Rubik’s Cube and, of course, tape. Tape covers his mouth so he can’t speak, but he needs help. Using his expressive eyes and a flashlight, he dashes into the audience to find cohorts who will assist him with a succession of strange tasks and challenges that come from a very childlike imagination.

While Tape Face’s intent is creating visual jokes with wait-for-it reveals, his

creator Sam Wills is intentionally bringing fringe festival entertainment to the Strip—and making it work. It’s one thing to play to fringe festival audiences that expect the unexpected, but performing a participatory act for Vegas visitors with diverse entertainment options is riskier.

Though, if a packed house at a show earlier this summer is any indication, Tape Face has no shortage of volunteers to join him onstage. Anything goes from there, in a PG-13 way. –Matt Kelemen Harrah’s, 7 p.m. Tues.-Sun., starting at $63 plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782

Justin Bieber, with devil Ozzy Osbourne on his right shoulder, and angel Dolly Parton perched on his left.

Fator includes other recent additions to the fold as well. Elton John belts out Christmas songs, and David Bowie and Bing Crosby reunite for their classic blending of “Peace On Earth” and “Little Drummer Boy.” –Las Vegas Magazine Staff The Mirage, 7:30 p.m. Mon.-Thurs.

It’s Country, Bro

Florida Georgia Line continues to blur lines What happens when bro-country grows up and settles down? Fans of Florida Georgia Line will find out when the chart-busting duo releases their fourth album in early 2019. Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley have already teased where that sound might be heading with “Simple,” the lead single from the forthcoming song set that finds the duo favoring a banjo-flavored, back-to-basics approach that’s more Mumford & Sons than Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan.

“Simple” became Florida Georgia Line’s 16th visit to the Top 10 Billboard Hot Country Songs, coming in the wake of their collaboration with Bebe Rexha on her hit “Meant to Be,” which spent 50 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart. While the hip-hop-influenced sub-

genre weathered criticism from some factions within the country music establishment, it flourished among its young listeners. Its connection to hip-hop may be more than just stylistically cosmetic: As trap music helps provide an escape via hip-hop in a world increasingly made confusing and chaotic by forces beyond control of the youth demographic, bro-country provides a noworries reprieve from stress for its adherents.

“Simple” comes from a place of marriage and settling down, but Hubbard and Kelley reassure their party people on the second song to be teased from the album, “Colorado,” that growing up can be balanced with good times. The third, “Talk You Out of It,” is essentially a slow jam about skipping the party and slipping between

the sheets. Fourth teaser extolls the virtues of “Sittin’ Pretty” with a significant other: “We got all damn day to do it our way / Like an old tire swing in the shade … I’m just fine long as I’m sittin’ next to you.”

The rest of Florida Georgia Line’s upcoming album remains a mystery until next year, but their current singles have been part of the latest live sets and will undoubtedly be part of their performance at Zappos Theater inside Planet Hollywood Resort this week. It’s been a long journey for Hubbard and Kelley from meeting as students at Belmont University in Nashville to headlining Las Vegas, but if their current visibility and level of success is any indication, the career cruise is rolling on a full tank of fuel. –Matt Kelemen

Tater Time Who doesn’t enjoy a good storyteller and comedian?

Well, Ron White is among the best. Maybe it’s his spot-on timing that helps him spin a good yarn. Or perhaps it’s his Southern drawl that gets audiences caught up in his homespun adventures.

A native Texan, the stand-up comedian enjoys talking about his real life beginnings with his childhood to present day. And you can count on him having his favorite cigar in one hand and a glass of scotch in the other or at least within grabbing range.

White good-naturedly tells his audiences that he has done his share of drinking—and even drinking and driving—in his time. From his new special on Netflix, If You Quit Listening I’ll Shut Up, he quips, “I drank so much in my life, now on the back of my driver’s license there is a list of organs I need!”

The comic’s nickname, “Tater Salad,” is one he gave himself when he was picked up by the police during his younger years and they asked if he had any aliases. In fact, many years later, both he and the nickname are still going strong. –Penny Levin

The cast members of Fantasy are more dancers who are topless than topless dancers. Superlative skills are as essential as sultriness for the production, as evidenced by the flawlessly executed moves of the showgirls.

That’s Italian!

There are many excellent restaurants Downtown, but lovers of classic Italian should head straight to Grotto Italian Ristorante at Golden Nugget. The selection ranges from paninis, sandwiches, pizzas and parmigiana during lunch to pastas, zuppas and traditional entrées for dinner, including veal kickerillo, pictured, with Parmesan-crusted veal scaloppine awash in lemons and mushrooms and hints of citrus highlighting the dish.

For a little taste of England, head to the Cornish Pasty Co. in the Arts District. The hip joint features an open kitchen, dark woods, and an intimate bar—and some seriously rocking pies.

There’s an enormous variety, from a traditional meat pasty stuffed with meat, cheese, onion and rutabaga to a veggie cottage pie with Quorn ground beef (a mycoprotein), peas, carrots, mashed potatoes and onions. The Cornish Pasty Co. also makes from two to four vegan options a day. You’re not limited to traditional English fare, though. The pasty list goes on and on: Mexican, Reuben, lamb and mint, spicy asiago chicken, lamb vindaloo, Greek, eggplant Parmesan and a boatload more.

Beef tar tare crostini

Overlooking the grand interiors of The Shops at Crystals, Cucina by Wolfgang Puck has some of the most striking views you’ll find anywhere in Las Vegas without leaving a building.

High ceilings and contemporary finishes frame the space, drawing your attention to either passersby marveling at the Halo exhibit—a collection of columns containing water vortexes with ever-changing colors—or the immense Christmas tree apropos for the season (even if there isn’t snow outside). But the picturesque views are simply a backdrop to a memorable meal.

Begin with a drink while taking in the sights from your table as Cucina offers a variety of libations, including wine by the glass. If you’re more of a beer lover, explore the local brewing scene with a tap selection leaning heavily on Vegas Valley beers, including brews from Henderson’s Crafthaus Brewery and downtown Las Vegas’ Banger Brewing. But for a stiffer option, specialty cocktails include an unexpected treat in a pair of tableside barrel-aged cocktails: a robust barrel-aged Old Fashioned and a milder, more floral barrel-aged Negroni. Tableside presentations make everything taste better.

On the food side, chef Vincenzo Scarmiglia recently returned to Las Vegas at the helm of Cucina for celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and has revamped the menu to reflect his culinary

background. For instance, the Strip veteran—he formerly headed up the kitchens at Giada and Fiamma, amongst others—has unveiled his rendition of grilled octopus, slightly charred, fork-tender and hinting of heat from Calabrian peppers. And ravioli fritti are a revelation, crisp fried pasta packets of spinach and ricotta served atop a spicy pomodoro sauce. The simple treat is a must-order dish.

Explore new crostini offerings, such as the stracciatella, with a salty Sicilian anchovy whose strong flavor contrasts the mild stracciatella di bufala, cheese from buffalo in the south of Italy, upon which it’s perched. Eggplant crostini deliver a delicious dollop of caponata, a traditional Sicilian side dish consisting of chopped fried eggplant and celery in a sweet and sour sauce, while the beef tartare crostini layers an egg yolk, Parmigiano cheese, and garlic chips atop a rich beef tartare.

Another new menu item is the hearty heritage pork chop, served upon buttery mashed potatoes and garnished with a citrusy mostarda. Consider it the upscale, Italian equivalent of pork chops and applesauce your mom used to make. But not all dishes are new, as sea bass is a legacy dish, accompanied by broccolini strewn with housemade fennel sausage and finished with a sharp cherry pepper vinaigrette.

For dessert, delve into a traditional coffeeladen tiramisu or the airy vanilla zeppole—essentially Italian deep-fried doughnut holes— served with a raspberry coulis for dipping. But best of all is the lightly salted caramel budino, a sweet and salty Italian pudding accompanied by chocolate pine nut biscotti.

Cucina represents a welcome return of Scarmiglia to the Las Vegas Strip. Visit him at Crystals for his approachable take on Italian cuisine—with views to match.

Leo Robitschek

Switching careers fulfills a passion, leads to success Family and food was a big part of Leo Robitschek’s childhood. “Being a Latin and Jewish family, food has always been a big part of our lives,” he says. “Part of the rule for us was we always had to be home for dinner.”

But when Robitschek—managing partner of food and beverage for the new NoMad Las Vegas—grew up, it didn’t necessarily dictate his career path, at first. By 2001, he was living in New York, completing his prerequisites for medical school while bartending on the side. He began to develop a love for creating cocktails.

A couple of years later, he joined restaurateur Will Guidara and chef Daniel Humm’s trendy Eleven Madison Park as a bartender, and a year after that, they asked him to elevate the bar program at EMP. He said yes and has never looked back. Since the success of EMP, they’ve

32 12.9.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

opened swank NoMad Hotels in New York, L.A., and now Las Vegas, each with an incredible bar program that uses fresh, quality ingredients— just as the hotels’ restaurants do.

“I never thought that hospitality was a career trajectory,” Robitschek says. “… I guess I never really realized how much I loved food and cocktails and people. This helped me fulfill all those things that I wanted to do with medicine in a way—engage with people, help them, see their reaction. Hospitality was a way I got to do it, just through a very different lens.”

Creating the Vegas NoMad’s restaurant and bar spaces and cocktail programs has been a labor of love for Robitschek. “We really wanted to create an oasis from an oasis—a place that is accessible and you could indulge in great food, great cocktails and have fun.” –Kiko Miyasato

When creating the cocktail menus for both NoMad’s restaurant and bar, Robitschek combined classic cocktails with longtime favorites pulled from the menus of other NoMad properties. He also created some new, Vegas-specific cocktails.

“For the NoMad Bar, I created about nine new cocktails, and the restaurant bar, six to seven,” he says. “They’re accessible but indulgent, and the menu will develop as we get more familiar with Vegas.” The Runyon Canyon was pulled from L.A.’s NoMad cocktail menu and is a playful combination of vodka cranberry with a tiki twist—mixed with Absolut Elyx, Vermouth di Torino, cranberries, passion fruit and lime. –KM

Two Decades of Excellence Fine dining room gets a fresh new look A flurry of flashy new restaurants have arrived to close out the year, a frequent occurrence on the Las Vegas Strip where there’s a constant struggle for the dining spotlight.

But one of our favorite new experiences of 2018 remains the remaking of a classic; Michael Mina’s eponymous fine dining room (Bellagio, 702.693.8865) reopened in early 2018 after a fresh, bright remodel and a wholesale refocusing of the menu. Don’t worry, your favorite dishes are still here, but the best way to

discover what’s new is the Market Fish Tasting Menu. You’ll sample delicate cucumber-lime marinated hamachi with ginger and holy basil, an innovative hot charcoal-grilled shellfish platter, a Mediterranean spice-crusted catch of the day and much more. These oceanic delights are hard to find anywhere else, each treated with care and plated with precision.

Mina and Bellagio have taken a 20-year-old favorite and created something that feels and tastes brand new. –Brock Radke

Khai Vu’s first pair of restaurants (District One and Le Pho) reflect the Vietnamese heritage of the local chef and restaurateur.

But his latest endeavor, Mordeo Boutique Wine Bar (5420 Spring Mountain Road Suite 108, 702.545.0771) is a much different and highly creative affair: Spanish tapas with Japanese influence in a modern wine bar setting. When you visit, don’t miss the uni bites, where the chef effortlessly melds these cuisines with sweet, succulent sea urchin layered atop buttery brioche with a garnish of minced jamón de Ibérico contributing hints of nuttiness and a contrast in textures. It’s a destination dish. –Jim Begley

#trending Smoky drinks are usually made with whiskey or bourbon. Heritage Steak (The Mirage, 866.339.4566) mixes things up with its La Caja cocktail. Patron Roca Reposado is added to muddled sugar cubes, cherries, walnut bitters and an orange wedge. Presented tableside in a box with smoked white oak chips, it has a rich taste that’s approachable without overpowering the tequila. It’s a drink with magnificent ambition, too—it was created to complement the white oak grill used in the kitchen. –Rob Kachelriess

Tracy Lawrence

Golden Nugget gives country fans a wealth of concerts

By Matt Kelemen

42 12.9.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

There are only two things cowboys come to National Finals Rodeo for as much as roping and riding: shopping at Cowboy Christmas and enjoying country music. NFR attendees can see shows throughout the Strip, but the Golden Nugget provides an alternative to the hustle and bustle of the heart of the rodeo scene with nightly 10 p.m. concerts in Downtown Las Vegas. Although the temptation of Fremont Street is boot steps away from the Golden Nugget Showroom, from Dec. 10-14 country music fans can immerse themselves in shows by veteran acts such as Tracy Lawrence, Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan, Lonestar, and newer acts like Colt Ford and Jamey Johnson.

Tracy Lawrence (Dec. 10) is the most established male performer of the series. The

neotraditionalist/honky tonk singer debuted in 1991 with the album Sticks and Stones, which had to be delayed while Lawrence recovered from being shot four times defending a friend from an attack. He scored four top 10 hits on the country singles chart including the No. 1 title track, was named Billboard’s top new male vocalist, and went on to release more than a dozen studio albums including this year’s Frozen in Time.

Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan (Dec. 11) spent the ’80s as signed solo artists before hitting their strides as A-list entertainers in the ’90s. Tillis, the daughter of late country singer Mel Tillis, recorded demos in Nashville before being signed by Warner Bros. in 1981. Ten years later, she released Put Yourself in My Place for

Pam Tillis & Lorrie Morgan

Arista Nashville and became a chart mainstay.

Morgan’s father George put his daughter onstage at the Grand Ole Opry at age 13. She took over his band three years later after he passed away. She earned her first No. 1 in 1990 with “Five Minutes” and joined Tillis in 2013 and 2017 for the duets albums Dos Divas and Come See Me and Come Lonely, respectively.

Lonestar (Dec. 12) formed in 1992 and went on to sell 10 million albums. The band, formed in Tennessee by Texas natives, charted nine No. 1 country hits including “Amazed,” which reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2000. “No News,” Lonestar’s first No. 1 country song, was the second single from the band’s self-titled debut album. The band scored chart toppers with songs such as “Smile,” “What About Now” and “Tell Her,” and scored their last No. 1 with “Mr. Mom” in 2004.

The music of Colt Ford (Dec. 13) has been described as “hick-hop,” although country rap may be more indicative of his style. Ford was a professional golfer before cultivating his alpha-hillbilly image and turning pro with his lyrical flow. After releasing several albums in the mid-to-late 2000s he reached No. 1 with 2012’s Declaration of Independence. Colt has collaborated with Jamey Johnson (Dec. 14), who scored a gold record with his second release, 2008’s That Lonesome Song. Johnson’s critically acclaimed 2010 follow-up The Guitar Song and 2012’s Living For A Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran went on to become top five albums on Billboard’s Top 200.

as Vegas has played an integral role in the performing histories of both Brooks & Dunn and Reba McEntire, who perform the final three shows of their 2018 Colosseum residency dates this week during National Finals Rodeo. They began their groundbreaking co-headlining residency in 2015, nearly two decades after touring together during high points in their careers. By that time, McEntire was well known for the Vegas-level stage design and choreography of her live shows, while a Cirque du Soleil performance witnessed by Ronnie Brooks and Kix Dunn sparked the idea that would inspire the duo’s early 2000s Neon Circus tours.

NFR played a pivotal role in McEntire’s career before it moved to Las Vegas. Had the 1974 rodeo competition not taken place in Oklahoma City, McEntire might not have been discovered singing the national anthem. Then again, she might have become a superstar sooner had Mercury Records not signed her several months later and marketed her as a pop-crossover singer. Although she had several hits, starting with a cover of Patsy Cline’s “Sweet Dreams” in 1979, McEntire rebelled and began recording for MCA five years later. Her 1984 album My Kind of Country produced two No. 1 hits, and she was recognized with CMA and ACM awards for Female Vocalist of the Year.

Brooks and Dunn rode onto the scene as a duo in 1991 with the album Brand New Man, which became the No. 3 country album that August. Their first No. 1 single, “Ain’t Nothing Bout You,” spent six weeks at the top of the charts, while the song perhaps best associated with them, “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” was No. 1 for four weeks in 1992. They were big enough to be the featured act for the 1993 grand opening of the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas and, in 1994, had their first of three No. 1 albums with Waitin’ on Sundown. By that time Brooks & Dunn were as reputed for their live performances as for their songwriting, with Kix Brooks becoming known for his natural crowd-rousing ability.

McEntire, meanwhile, had become in inspiration to an entire generation of female singers and had raised the bar for production values in country music concerts. She gradually evolved her image from down-home to sophisticated and glamorous, added cutting-edge choreography, and rode a balcony over her audiences’ heads decades before Taylor Swift repeated the feat.

It was only natural for her to co-headline with her male-duo counterparts in 1997, and the live partnership turned collaboratively fruitful when Brooks & Dunn joined voices with McEntire for 1998 country No. 1 “If You See Him/If You See Her.” That song has been included in the Colosseum shows, which have been opening with McEntire flanked on her left by a Fender Telecaster-wielding Brooks and by an acoustic/electricplaying Dunn to her right as they perform “Play Some Country” together. The two acts trade stage time, reaching deep into their catalogs of hits, then reunite before heading towards a finale that has included McEntire’s “Fancy” and Brooks and Dunn’s “Only in America.” Only in Las Vegas, only inside Caesars Palace, only at the Colosseum.
