Shawn Stockman
Boyz II Men member making moves Somewhere between a solid touring schedule, Boyz II Men’s long-running residency at The Mirage and raising his family, Shawn Stockman found time to write and produce his own solo material for the first time. His single “Feelin’ Lil Som’n” is making moves in the R&B world and it’s just the beginning. Of course, Stockman may be best known as a member Boyz II Men. They’ll perform with Bruno Mars for two New Year’s Eve concerts at T-Mobile Arena, but before that, they’re back at The Mirage, Dec. 28-29. You recently released your first solo single. Why now? Quite simply, I had the actual space. The guys and I have spent a little over 10 years rebranding Boyz II Men and getting it back to a level where it’s now running all by itself. The institution that is Boyz II Men is now a machine. It does certain things in a certain way with a certain group of people and it flows like this annually, which is what we always wanted. So with less concern about the group, it allowed me to turn my focus on other ambitions I had. Life is all about timing. How different was the experience of writing and recording as a solo artist? Part of the reason why I did it is that I’ve always enjoyed it. When we had a studio back in Philly called Stonecreek and a label of the same name under Sony, we released this artist named Uncle Sam. I did most of that record, produced and wrote seven of 11 songs. I love writing records and creating things on my own. To do things and sing them and hear how it sounds, by myself without the guys, it’s just fun for me, and it’s almost a challenge. Boyz II Men is such a big thing and people will always know me from that, so it’s like, let me see what I can do myself, see how I can push myself without having two

other incredibly talented human beings in the room. It might sound masochistic but I like it. Was it important to differentiate the sound of your songs from Boyz II Men? I didn’t want to spook anybody out, coming out first doing a folk record with a banjo and have everybody say, “What the hell is this dude doing?” I did what felt most natural to me. If you listen to the record, you’ll hear some nuances from Boyz II Men, but I’ve helped create the sound of the group so that’s just going to be there. But this won’t be my last solo project and as things progress and awareness grows, I’ll be able to do what other artists do and that’s branch out, experiment a little bit, work with other artists and so on. You’re in the sixth year of your residency in Las Vegas and it definitely seems like you are still enjoying it. Do you have a favorite part of the show? I like the rock stuff, when we grab guitars and start playing. I know there are people who have known us for years and that may seem foreign... And it allows me to better myself at playing guitar. Every night I play in front of people is another 15 minutes toward that 10,000 hours I need to be great at it.
How long have you played? About five years. Any artist will say sometimes singing the same songs for years can feel a little routine. Playing an instrument, strapping on this piece of wood with strings and metal, it’s always something new and exciting and unpredictable for me. It sounds like keeping things fresh is important. Is that the secret behind the longevity of Boyz II Men? We just enjoy it still. There’s no other place that gives me more peace and fulfillment than being
onstage and singing songs. Even performing the same music, it’s still a work in progress, you’ll still come across things you didn’t hear before and there are always ideas you might come up with on the fly. And we love each other, we get along in a sense that we understand and respect each other’s space and opinions on things... Do we fight sometimes? Absolutely. Disagreements? Absolutely. But we’ve gone through enough to understand and know nothing is worth breaking up something we’ve all put our hearts and soul into.

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.
Levitating upwards Illusionist extraordinaire Criss Angel took me on a one-on-one tour of his new home at Planet Hollywood just before opening preview shows of his new magic spectacular Criss Angel: Mindfreak last week and it was mind-blowing. He believes the multimillion-dollar renovation of the showroom now known as the Criss Angel Theater is the most extensive and expensive such project in the history of Las Vegas and beyond, and after exploring his
fantastic custom-built stage and setup, I’m sure he’s right. He’s trying to change the game. “Life is death without change,” Angel said. “I want to be the show that initiates real change and development because the ultimate winner is the public. They deserve the best. If they’re coming to Vegas and spending their hard-earned money, it’s our responsibility to be the most sophisticated, technological and entertaining show in the world.”
All The Vegas Terry Fator “This is the place, and this is why I wanted to have my own theater here, where the greatest entertainers on the planet come. My favorite part is that Celine Dion, the legend of legends, her vocals are not human. It’s just ridiculous! No one should be able to sing that perfectly. And she’s right next door. That’s the best. The greatest artists of all time come here, and I love when they get a residency because that makes me realize what an honor it is to be able to maintain and sustain a show here. That’s the best part.” Listen to Terry Fator’s episode of the All The Vegas podcast on Apple Podcasts and allthevegas.com.

Lady Gaga hasn’t even begun her Las Vegas residency yet—she opens at Park Theater on Dec. 28—but she’s already adding additional shows in 2019. The inimitable artist’s ambitious Vegas production is actually two shows in one: the expected concert spectacular dubbed Enigma and the strippeddown, intimate Jazz & Piano affair. The five newly announced productions in June, October and November are the latter. British supermodel Adwoa Aboah recently visited Magic Mike Live at the Hard Rock Hotel and took her party crew backstage after the show to meet with the cast and take pictures, also known as the Magic Mike meet-and-greet. Nightlife visionary Andy Masi’s Clique Hospitality, which operates several sizzling bars, restaurants and clubs on and off the Strip—including the new Apex Social Club at the renovated Palms resort—is working on its second project at the Cosmopolitan. The Barbershop, a classic grooming salon with an “old worldinspired” cocktail program, is set to open in the spring in the space formerly occupied by the Bond bar. Naughty new burlesque show Little Miss Nasty is picking up steam at the Night Owl Showroom at Hooters Casino Hotel. The L.A. transplant hits the stage Thursday through Saturday at 10:30 p.m. This revue comes complete with a hardrocking edge, thanks to a soundtrack from Led Zeppelin, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and more.

Music and Fashion
Superstar continues her momentum Mama’s got a brand new bag. Celine Dion recently expanded her presence in the fashion world beyond the handbag line she launched at Nordstrom last year, and the music icon did it in a daring way. Celinununu is Dion’s gender-neutral children’s clothing line, a stylish expression of freedom, equality and empowerment for kids. “It’s not that we’re hoping to shift gender norms with Celinununu. It’s more about offering (a) choice and giving children a chance to feel free to find their own individuality, their own true essence without being tied to stereotypes,” Dion recently told style source Refinery 29. “I think
that every child needs to have their own identity, to express themselves freely, and (to) not feel like they have to be like someone else.” It’s an earnest and important message. And for Dion, whose 8-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson are rocking the gear, it’s a natural progression. “Both music and fashion are a way to express yourself creatively and, of course, in the case of live performances, they go hand-in-hand,” she said. “When we’re working on my stage outfits, we’re obviously thinking about the song that I’ll be performing, what it’s about and how that idea or feeling can be expressed through fashion.”
Dion returns to the Vegas stage this month, resuming her residency at the 4,300-seat Colosseum at Caesars Palace for a three-week run. While 2019 will be her last year at the venue where she has revolutionized the idea of the Las Vegas Strip headliner for the past 15 years, it is shaping up to be a busy one for Dion, whose first English-language album in five years is expected in January. Her most recent single, “Ashes,” just powered the Deadpool 2 soundtrack to a Grammy Award nomination, a clear indication of her current musical momentum. –Brock Radke

of hair, the mood of the show feels a little lighter, 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. “This show has a slightly different feel from previ-
ous shows, and the sense that I have is that it’s a little more sort of totally inclusive of everybody,” says Teller. But don’t fret—the show still peppers in the darker moments that the two magicians originally became famous for. –Matt Kelemen

Duo of Destruction Perhaps no quote sums up the bombastic swagger of Tenacious D more than this lyric from “Master Exploder.” After a scorching guitar solo from KG (Kyle Gass) and some vocal gymnastics from JB, the singer also known as Jack Black puts this hammer down: “I did not mean to blow your mind / But that sh*t happens to me all the time.” The comedic heavy metal duo is so damn good, they can explode minds just by being. Of course, this is the twosome that once had to “play the best song in the world” or a demon would eat their souls. As the legend goes on “Tribute,” they played “the first thing that came to our heads / Just so happened to be / The best song in the world.” The twist of that song is that the retelling of the tale is not “the greatest song in the world” but as the title states, just a tribute. Many of the tandem’s songs have a twist. “Wonderboy” isn’t just a legend of the titular character’s battles against “Young Nastyman,” but it’s an origin story, as JB turns out to be Wonderboy and KG, Young Nastyman. –Jason Harris

Great Combo Keeping the Classics Alive Beyond the infamy, Mötley Crüe were hard-rock trailblazers, from fashion choices to music videos to over-the-top stage productions. So when it came time to hang up the leather pants and studded wrists bands for good, of course the bad boys from Hollywood chose to blaze one final trail: While announcing a farewell tour in January 2014, they produced legal documents to prove that, unlike most of their peers and predecessors, they truly meant farewell.

Sure enough, the four original members haven’t performed onstage together since Dec. 31, 2015. But that doesn’t mean their music has been buried for eternity. Front man Vince Neil has kept the flame burning as a solo artist, performing sets comprised mostly of Crüe classics like “Dr. Feelgood,” “Girls, Girls, Girls” and “Home Sweet Home.” This week, Neil and his band will once again proudly (and loudly) bring Crüe’s vintage sound to life. –Matt Jacob

Hilarity and Hooks Dave Chappelle and John Mayer may sound like an unlikely duo, but they’ve been proving at a series of buzzed-about collaborative shows that they go together better than anyone expected. Chappelle is a stand-up and actor known for following an eccentric path, from walking away from his TV series Chappelle’s Show at the height of its popularity, to taking the stage unannounced at small comedy clubs. Mayer is a singer-songwriter and guitarist known for hits like “Your Body Is a Wonderland,” and for his guitar chops in the Grateful Dead offshoot Dead & Company.
They started performing together last year in a joint show called Controlled Danger, and although they’ve since played in a number of cities, Controlled Danger is still small-scale, so the chance to see the duo in Vegas may not be repeated. The show features solo sets from each, with both delivering looser performances than usual, but the real appeal comes from seeing them together, when Chappelle’s comedic skills and Mayer’s musical skills intertwine. They play off of each other in the way that only old friends can, improvising riffs on whatever pops into their heads. –Josh Bell
Partridge in a Piff Tree You may have seen him on America’s Got Talent or Penn & Teller: Fool Us, but Piff the Magic Dragon has quickly evolved into a Las Vegas favorite. His deliriously fun production hit its stride last year, and the hilariously deadpan performer and his charming canine sidekick, Mr. Piffles, recently extended their Strip gig through the end of 2019. “Being able to perform every night has made the show a lot better, and also because

I’m able to stay in one place, I can work on the tricks more than if I had to be on tour every single night,” says Piff.

The Amazing Space
Italian marketplace combines multiple dining offerings with retail There’s still one very big piece remaining before the Park MGM resort renovation is complete and it will finally hit the Strip this week. Eataly Las Vegas, a 40,000-square-foot culinary destination and Italian marketplace fronting Las Vegas Boulevard, marks the sixth U.S. location of the Italy-based food and restaurant company Eataly, which has more than 35 stores worldwide. If you’ve been to another Eataly, you know that authenticity and sharing the best possible products are the core values of the experience. But the Vegas version has much more to share. “We are integrating our retail store and restaurants further than ever before to create a more im-

mersive and interactive experience,” said Nicola Farinetti, CEO of Eataly USA. Eataly will have several restaurants, including an all-day bar concept serving coffee and pastries, cocktails and paninis and a specialty menu after hours, and an artisanal pasta and pizza nook, too. But you can skip those if you choose and make the rounds of many market-style vendor stations for fresh fish and meat cooked to order, pasta made fresh right in front of your eyes, Romanstyle pizza, and much more. It’s big, bright and comfortable, and you could easily spend an entire day snacking your way through it all, taking a class or shopping for that perfect bottle of
wine. There’s nothing quite like it anywhere in Las Vegas. There will be more than 100 types of salumi and more than 300 types of cheese offered, and the ingredients and items go beyond just getting the best—some of these foods will be available for the first time in the U.S. at Eataly Las Vegas. And the strip of sweets shops, the Lavazza coffee spot and the bakery serving specialty breads and pizzas all have service windows lining Las Vegas Boulevard, so Strip pedestrians will be teased to come in and taste more. Wait until you try the pistachio gelato. –Brock Radke Park MGM, open 24 hours daily (opens Dec. 27). 702.730.7010

Swingin’ the Changes Menopause the Musical can lay claim to being the truest ladies’ night in Las Vegas. The longestrunning 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

Culinary Excellence Charlie Palmer’s Aureole at Mandalay Bay, which went through an extensive restaurant remodel last year, got a few more changes—a new chef (Alexandre Gregoire, who hails from France and has cooked both there and in the U.S. for nearly 15 years) and new dishes on the menu to boot. 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

Another excellent choice is Colorado lamb loin, served with a lamb shoulder confit, olive tapenade and baby artichoke.

Putting a Spell On You Perhaps no other show in Las Vegas lives up to its name as effectively as Sexxy. Combining old-school Vegas style with a slick modern sensibility, the topless revue from creator, choreographer and star Jennifer Romas brings the classic, iconic image of the showgirl into the present. That starts by having a showgirl herself in charge, with Romas as the lead dancer along with six other performers onstage for each show, including versatile singer, comedian and dancer Gabriella Versace. Of course, all the performers are sexy, but there’s far more to these women. Just witness the breathtaking acrobatics of the silks routine set to Marilyn Manson’s dark industrial version of “Tainted Love,” or Versace belting out “I Put a Spell on You,” or the dancers playfully bringing audience members out of their shells (and onstage), and you’ll see how amazingly talented the stars of Sexxy are. There are cheeky numbers like a French maid routine set to Bjork’s “It’s Oh So Quiet,” and sophisticated numbers like a masked pas de deux featuring dancers in flowing skirts, but every piece in the show is meticulously crafted—and just as sexy as advertised. –Josh Bell

Stellar Singers When Bill Medley reformed the Righteous Brothers with Bucky Heard more than two years ago, the reception took him a bit by surprise. “The reaction has been quite remarkable,” Medley says. “We opened up in Laughlin–very first show we ever did ... “It was sold out all five days.” Not bad for a 78-year-old singing 50-year-old hits. But it’s no surprise that people want to see a revamped Righteous Brothers. The hits alone, such as “You’ve Lost That Lovin’

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 daughter McKenna to sing “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” Medley then mixes it up with “Great Getting Up Morning,” and gets bluesy with his original, “This Will Be the Last Time.” –Alex Haase
At 68 years old, Jay Leno is well past the age when the average American starts to take it easy. But the noted automobile buff continues to speed full-throttle past life’s stop sign. So what motivates one of the most successful comedians of all time to maintain a rising-comic-like pace? If you asked Leno, he’d likely respond with a question of his own: Why not? “If you do something and it works,” he told CNBC last year, “then keep doing it.” At least for as long as the ol’ engine keeps purring. –Matt Jacob The Mirage, 10 p.m. Dec. 29, starting at $59.99 plus tax and fee, 16+ with adult. 702.792.7777

nosh cheers runches are especially attractive in the holiday season, where a tipple or two the night before may leave you wanting to delay that first meal a tad so you can grab that extra sleep. Here are a few of the fun places in Vegas to relax and get the day started in a civilized manner. At Red Rock Resort on Sunday mornings, Scott Conant’s Masso Osteria offers a laid-back brunch with such things as a bloody Mary bar, bellinis and mimosas. Oh, and food! Choose plated items including porchetta eggs Benedict, panettone French toast and my favorite, lemon ricotta pancakes or cruise along stations offering antipasti, 100-layer lasagna, frittatas, pizza, pastries and soft serve ($42, reservations at massoosteria.com; some drinks additional charge). Just for Christmas and New Year’s Day brunches, Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bistro at The Venetian presents prix-fixe holiday menus, with highlights including a decadent lobster Benedict, salmon salad, pastries and small bites for dessert; for the kids you’ll find sourdough waffles with Valrhona chocolate chips ($50 adult, $15 children, reservations at 702.414.6200). Christmas brunch is also being served at Hawthorn Grill in the JW Marriott Las Vegas and Rampart casino from 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m., with a little something for everyone, from an omelet station and carving stations to a dessert buffet. The kids can indulge at their own children’s buffet. ($59 adult, $29 child, 702.507.5900) Hawthorn Grill also offers a New Year’s Day brunch. And breakfast beer! Now this is our kinda brunch! Pub365 at Tuscany Suites & Casino has a huge craft beer menu, and on Sundays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., offers $12 bottomless Lemon ricotta cookie ice cream sandwich
Porchetta eggs Benedict
mimosa with a choice of juice plus special beers perfect for breakfast, like Decadent Ales’ French Toast double IPA, Evil Twin’s Imperial Doughnut Break stout, Saugatuck’s Blueberry Maple stout and Wells’ Banana Bread beer. You may want food with that— try pulled pork eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles or brioche French toast. If you’re in the mood for Southwestern flavor, Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace is a perfect stop for brunch (10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday). That blue corn buttermilk waffle, with blackberry-bourbon syrup, is to die for. Giada at The Cromwell opens up for brunch from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday through Sunday, with a la carte items and a brunch tasting menu to choose from. Tip: The tasting menu comes with pastries that are fabulous, and an ice cream sandwich that’s delightful! At Culinary Dropout in the Hard Rock Hotel, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, get items like bread pudding French toast, a Smokehouse Hash with slow-roasted barbecue pork, and gourmet-style overnight oats—blueberry marmalade and candied pecan add extra oomph to the staple dish. This brunch is available every day—Tom’s Urban at New York-New York features the Most of the Day brunch until 2 p.m., with a delectable mix of such items as Crispy Chicken and Cornbread Pancakes, the housemade Urban Pop Tart and slated caramel

French toast, plus plenty of breakfast faves like burritos (huge) and Benedicts. This one doesn’t technically start until the afternoon is ushered in, but the Lavo Party Brunch at The Palazzo is a brunch of a different color. The dishes, like the grande spicy margarita, are rumored to be delicious, true, but it’s the atmosphere that you may gobble up. Giant inflatables of all kinds, confetti and delicious cocktails may make it seem like New Year’s Eve every weekend (but this weekend it really is the NYE edition (admission tickets at lavolv.com).

Sara Bryan
Getting to the hair of the matter Sara Bryan first ran into famed hair guru Kelly Cardenas at a hair show in Long Beach, Calif., where he was teaching a class. “That’s when a light bulb went off; that was a turning point in my career,” says Sara Bryan, vice president of Kelly Cardenas Salon at Hard Rock Hotel. By that point, Bryan had been doing hair professionally for a couple years in Palm Springs, Calif., but it was what Cardenas said in that class that really resonated with her. “It was taking the ego out of what we do; that was a huge point that he made,” she says. “Also the professionalism, taking it to the next level, customer service—adding that special, personal touch to everything.” A few years later, Bryan was working and living in Hawaii when she vacationed in Las Vegas, and while in town she got her hair done by Cardenas. “Before I left he told me, ‘Well, if
34 12.23.18 LasVegasMagazine.com
you ever move back to the mainland, I’d love to work with you.’ And I said ‘Great! Well, that day is today!’” A few months later, she packed her bags and moved to Vegas. That was in 2006, and she’s been working alongside Cardenas ever since. She started out as an assistant and climbed the ranks from stylist, then director of operations and then her current position. Besides the Hard Rock location, she’s helped open salons in Chicago, San Diego and Salt Lake City. “My favorite part of this job is how legitimate this is,” Bryan says. “I’ve bought a house. Kelly really helps guide you to your adulthood. I have a retirement plan, a financial advisor. It’s a legit career.” And, in turn, Bryan guides the other stylists—helping them reach their goals, educating and training them, “just being there for my team and setting the example, letting them know they’re loved.” –Kiko Miyasato
A popular product used in the salon is Bling, a serum created by Cardenas. A few drops applied to either wet or dry hair helps condition and polish while it softens and adds shine and volume without weighing the hair down. Bryan is a big fan of the product, and still uses it when working on her clients. In fact, she doesn’t just run the operations of the salon, Bryan still works as a stylist full time, too. “I’m known for being really quick, really fast. I’m also good at extensions and doing updos,” she said. In fact, she said, she once clocked in 52 updos in just two hours. “That’s my jam,” she said, smiling. –KM

Holiday Fun
Go over the top with New York favorite This may not look or taste like a traditional holiday meal but you won’t find more festive food than the fare at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer (The Venetian, 702.414.2337), the highenergy Las Vegas Strip outpost of the New York City favorite specializing in not just bold burgers with fries or onion rings, but also deliciously devious CrazyShakes decorated more extravagantly than your Christmas tree. Until Dec. 26, enjoy the Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake Shake, a festive peppermint
shake in a glass with a chocolate-frosted rim, crushed peppermint and topped with a slice of peppermint chocolate chunk cheesecake, whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Over the top? That’s just the beginning. At Black Tap go ahead and do dessert with your meal, pairing the masterpiece shake with the Old Fashioned prime beef burger with crimini mushrooms, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions and horseradish. This food deserves its own holiday. –Brock Radke
Like eating with tweezers? Then you’re going to love EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine (3400 S. Jones Blvd., 702.641.1345), because alongside more mundane flatware, your table setting includes a pair of tweezers. Much like chopsticks, they’re remarkably efficient at navigating through intricate dishes, but unlike chopsticks, you’ll need no schooling. Use them on the Spanish Cabrales cheese akin to an out-ofcontrol gorgonzola, or the bikini, a miniature pressed sobrassada and Mahón cheese sandwich, or even the Ibérico Secreto tsukune, intense ground pork grilled on a stick. No matter the dish, you’ll love deliciousness delivered via tweezers! –Jim Begley

The kitchen swaps out traditional English muffins for puffy, flaky, housemade croissants and tops them with poached eggs, sauteéd kale and gourmet proteins like prosciutto di Parma, short rib Bourguignon and smoked salmon. Bardot enhances the morning classic with Béarnaise sauce. –Greg Thilmont

Lady Gaga bringing her stardom to new heights By matt kelemen
udiences for Lady Gaga’s groundbreaking new residency at Park MGM Las Vegas will be the first witnesses to a new era in the career of the superstar performer. The box office and critical success of A Star Is Born has catapulted her to a new level of celebrity status and creative confidence that will surely inspire her onstage, but as her Little Monster superfans know, Gaga was already in transition.

Maroon 5’s annual end-of-year shows at Mandalay Bay have become as much of a Las Vegas holiday tradition as countdowns and champagne toasts. The band’s trajectory for the past five years could easily be represented by its New Year’s Eve live sets, if the Dec. 29 concert it played in 2012 as part of the Overexposed Tour counts. Since 2014, the musicians have hit the stage at Mandalay Bay Events Center every Dec. 3031, indicating all is well in the world of Maroon 5.
More fervent followers witnessed the live debut of “What Lovers Do” from the album Red Pill Blues, which was release in November 2017, at last year’s shows. That song became the opener for the Red Pill Blues Tour, which wrapped in October with two mid-month concerts at Madison Square Garden. Maroon 5 debuted the single version “Girls Like You” from Red Pill Blues at the May 30 opening date in Tacoma of
their Red Pill Blues Tour, then watched the collaboration with Cardi B climb the charts through the summer until it spent six weeks at No. 2, then hit No. 1 in September. In other words, Maroon 5 comes into Las Vegas on top of the world, and at the top of their game. It had been six years since Maroon 5 last hit No. 1 with “One More Night” and 15 years since the band first entered the charts with “Harder

to Breathe.” That song is still a staple of Maroon live sets, along with “This Love,” “Misery,” “Animals” and “Moves Like Jagger.” The latter song has been closing out the main sets on the latest tour before the band has been resuming the stage with a cover of Alphaville’s “Forever Young.” Michael Jackson’s “Rock with You” has been making it into the main sets as well. The Oakland Press summed up Maroon 5’s Sept. 30 concert
at Little Caesars Arena as “a full-throttle pop spectacle” that was “lean and refreshingly devoid of shtick,” save for a mirrored ball that dropped during “Rock with You.” Levine strapped on an acoustic guitar during the encore and dedicated “She Will Be Loved” to the late Aretha Franklin before ending with tour closer “Sugar.” The band segued from song to song during a tight 18-song set with guitarist James Valentine
playing a “biting solo” during the hard funk workout of “Harder to Breathe.” With Maroon 5 refreshed after more than two months on break, the New Year’s Eve shows can only benefit from the musical cohesion between band members who spent nearly six months on the road together this year. Hopefully they’ll hold onto that cohesion if they are confirmed for the halftime show slot at Super Bowl LIII in
Atlanta. Beyond that, and the likelihood that Adam Levine will still be a coach on reality talent show The Voice for the 16th season, little is available about Maroon 5’s plans or resolutions for 2019, although odds are they’ll be back in Vegas to ring in 2020.

EATALY 1 LAS VEGAS
HOUSEMADE MOZZARELLA
This December, Eataly is opening its first location in the city of lights. Known for offering high-quality Italian food and drink, the Italy-based company is entering new territory with its Vegas debut, where it is fusing together marketplace and kitchen like never before. While we don’t want to ruin the surprise, here are a few Eataly staples you can expect to find.
3 PASTA FRESCA From silky, gold ribbons to plump pockets filled with slow-roasted veal, the fresh pasta at Eataly Las Vegas is prepared daily by the expert hands of skilled pastai, or pasta makers. Watch the pasta being made before your eyes before ordering a plate of your own.
4
2
Watch Eataly’s experts stretch and shape fresh mozzarella by hand in its onsite Mozzarella Lab before savoring the tangy cheese alongside salumi and rustic bread.
BRONZEEXTRUDED PASTA
At Eataly, pasta is not just pasta – it’s centuries of tradition. Imported from a small-town in Campania, Eataly’s dry pasta is bronze-extruded and slowly dried to maintain a perfect sauceabsorbing, al dente texture. Try it with a variety of classic and innovative sauces. Trust us – after one bite, you’ll get it.
5 VINO
PIZZA MARGHERITA
The Eataly Las Vegas wine shop will offer the largest selection of regional Italian wines in Las Vegas. Visitors can enjoy complimentary expert-guided tastings, sip on a glass at the bar, and find the perfect bottle to take home.
The secret to Eataly’s pizza? Slow-rising dough made from scratch, high-quality toppings, and a golden wood-burning oven imported from Italy and assembled brick-by-brick within the store.
CAFFÈ
6
