Philip Bailey
Earth, Wind & Fire singer excited to return to Vegas residency If there’s a single iconic voice best associated with Earth, Wind & Fire, that would have to belong to Colorado-born Philip Bailey. The 67-year-old singer, songwriter and percussion player known for his incredible four-plus octave range will be bringing EWF back to the Las Vegas Strip March 2030 for another special engagement at The Venetian Theatre. I spoke with him about the legacy of the music he’s created over the years. Earth, Wind & Fire has had many powerful performances in Las Vegas recently. I hope you’re planning to keep coming back in the future. Our fans in the Vegas area have always been very excited and plentiful and faithful to the band for so many years. Last year, it went off so well at The Venetian that they invited us back this year and we’re very excited for it because these shows are the beginning of our touring season. We’ll be there six nights and we’re going to have a fantastic time. Do you enjoy spending extra time in Las Vegas? I’m a golfer so I get a chance to play some of my favorite courses out there on the off days. That’s my go-to. Your son Philip Jr. has been with the band for more than eight years now. Was he always going to follow in your footsteps? And did you ever encourage or discourage his musical pursuits? With Philip, he was kind of like me, he was always musically inclined. Then he went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, graduated and stayed there for a few years playing with local bands and getting his chops together. At a certain point, I just thought, “You’re doing this with
12 3.17.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
other people. Why not come on over here and try this out for a while?” It’s been fun and he gets a chance to really see what I was doing when (he was younger) and we have a good time bonding. It’s a very natural fit, and he does his own thing, too, writing and performing with other people. Your voice hasn’t faded a bit. I’ve been really fortunate. I haven’t had any issues with my voice. You learn over the years what to do and what not to do and I’m very much still discovering the instrument and having fun with it, learning new things all the time. It’s an ongoing process. As you live you evolve and grow and discover, and I don’t like to look at anything as an arrival. I always like to look at it as a discovery and an evolutionary process. When did you first discover the range of your voice? I’m still discovering it, really. I was always mimicking high-register singers as a kid, but I also studied operating as a baritone because I’m a natural baritone. On certain nights, I can tweak it a little bit more. I just go up there in a kind of surrendered state and just enjoy the process. For me, there’s not a lot of thinking going on up there, it’s just enjoying the experience and the symbiotic relationship between what the audience is
giving and what we’re doing. Even though we’re playing the same songs over and over, it’s fantastic because we’re playing for a different audience every night. Do you have a favorite portion of the show or songs you really love to sing? All those songs are kind of like your kids. It depends on the night and the experience, or who’s there, because you’re really singing for your audience. They make it so special. Because we made these songs with certain people and
moods and life changes in mind, I think the songs kind of speak to you. We think of songwriting as a craft and you’re putting your life on the line, in a way, when you’re writing songs, because you’re writing about your experiences. Those become others’ experiences as they find commonalities in the music, so you want to speak to people in a way that feels like they wrote it themselves. For more on Earth, Wind & Fire, check out our Q&A with Verdine White on page 20.
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.
Music on the move The Pearl at the Palms has long been one of Las Vegas’ favorite places for a memorable concert experience, but since Station Casinos purchased the property and began renovating it a few years ago, the musical mix at this cozy theater has only grown more dynamic and diverse. There are rock and country residencies this year from Billy Idol
and Lady Antebellum, respectively, and rising boy band Why Don’t We brings its memorable next-generation pop to the Palms on March 23. The five-member group already has an iTunes No. 1 smash this year with “Big Plans,” a catchy and aptly named track that sums up the future of Why Don’t We and the Palms. It’s a perfect fit.
All The Vegas Kurt Melien “We’re at 15 years since Celine opened and about five years since Britney opened, so we are in sort of the golden age of the resident business, mature, well-built and diversified. We’ll continue to look for new genres that will capture the full breadth of the audience in Vegas. People think of Las Vegas for its casinos, suites and restaurants, but the theater product is second to none, to New York, Tokyo or London. The world doesn’t have big theaters like we do.” Listen to the complete All The Vegas podcast episode with Live Nation Las Vegas president Kurt Melien at allthevegas.com.
Superchef Gordon Ramsay recently celebrated the first anniversary of his recordbreaking Hell’s Kitchen restaurant at Caesars Palace with his mentor and fellow Caesars culinary icon Guy Savoy, restaurateur and Real Housewives star Lisa Vanderpump, Jonathan and Drew Scott of Property Brothers and Hell’s Kitchen competition show season 18 winner Ariel Fox. Ramsay is planning to film future seasons of Hell’s Kitchen at the Vegas hot spot, which has served more than 400,000 diners in just its first year. Comedian and actress Mo’Nique wrapped her very first Las Vegas residency this month, and a legend stopped by to laugh along with her Sayers Club audience. Mike Tyson and wife Kiki took in the show and congratulated Mo’Nique on the successful run at SLS Las Vegas. Magician extraordinaire David Copperfield was spotted attending the zany space-aged comedy Opium at the Cosmopolitan recently and enjoyed the antics of the OPM 73 crew so much he reappeared backstage after the show for a photo with some of the Spiegelworld production’s characters. How I Met Your Mother and American Pie star Alyson Hannigan took her 9-year-old daughter Satyanna to see Gwen Stefani’s Just A Girl show at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood, heading backstage before the musical spectacular to get a photo with one of the Strip’s newest resident headliners. Hannigan was in town to film several episodes of CW series Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

Girls’ Night Out
Stage production of hit movie isn’t your average male revue Ladies, tonight it’s all about you. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, getting hitched, getting over a divorce or just plain and simple need a serious girls’ night out, look no further than Magic Mike Live. Inspired by the hit films starring Channing Tatum, this is not your average male revue. Lyndsay Hailey, the show’s emcee, describes the Las Vegas production as “sexy, empowering and motivational.” Hailey, an alumna of Second City National Touring Company in Chicago with more than 10 years of comedy experience under her belt, co-wrote Magic Mike Live with Tatum. “It’s been amazing (working with him). He lets everybody freely express themselves and play at the top of their intelligence,” she says. “What sets it apart from other shows is the female voice, and

that was super important to Channing. It’s really about what women find sexy. The main thing he told me: ‘I want you to put you into the show.’” And indeed she did. Inside the fictional Club Domina, Hailey calls upon her imaginary friend Unicorn (not the kind you had as a little girl but an adult one, with voiceover help from Tatum). Whatever Hailey wants, Hailey gets. Tired of seeing men dressed as firefighters and police officers? No problem. Opt for a man in jeans with a bare chest, and … poof! Just like that, not one but 13 dancers (of all different flavors) magically appear, ready to live out every woman’s fantasies. “Every night when I’m standing onstage and they turn to me and surf the crowd, I lose my breath every time,” she chuckles. “I think it’s because I’m so excited
about what’s about to happen. I love that part. It feels so powerful to be a part of that.” Magic Mike Live is full of many surprises. “Everything from the dance numbers to the writing and the selection of songs—there are so many females involved in this process,” Hailey says. “It’s mostly about what we actually want.” One lucky lady gets her feet rubbed by a dancer named (what else?) Mike; another gets seduced on top of the bar to 50 Cent’s hit song “Candy Shop.” Add in steamy lap dances, tantalizing stripteases, a wet-and-wild scene and one epic finale to bring everyone in the theater to their feet. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff Hard Rock Hotel, 7:30 & 10 p.m. Wed.Sun., starting at $49 plus tax and fee, 18+. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

As far as impact on pop culture goes, there was before Master of None and after. The can’t-call-it-a-sitcom, situational comedy show on Netflix from Aziz Ansari took whatever was left of the mold and smashed it to bits with two seasons of grounded (and groundbreaking) television that focused both on the normal (Ansari’s character Dev going on a series of dates in a whip-fast series of intercut vignettes) and on the rarelyseen-on-television (an episode done largely without sound from a deaf couple’s perspective). This type of thoughtfulness and originality can be seen throughout Ansari’s many endeavors. As a stand-up comedian, he’s released four full-length specials, one for Comedy Central, one on his website and two on Netflix. Ansari’s material is often focused on his own life. The stories he tells about his cousin Harris–a teenager who quotes himself on Facebook and, according to Ansari, is “a weirdo and completely insane”–are always a highlight. His critique of Harris’ essay to get into college in which he compares the splitting of an atom to Redbox is almost brutal. After a long break, it will be interesting to see how Ansari’s comedy stacks up now. –Jason Harris

Magic Man While the best Las Vegas headliners get standing ovations, illusionist David Copperfield has audiences roaring by the end of his show. That’s because he presents both a classic stage production in terms of showmanship and spectacle, and a progressive entertainment act that as of late has included animated aliens as well as the vehicles that brought them here. Copperfield is peerless in terms of magical accomplishments, being able to boast of having made

the Statue of Liberty disappear and walking through the Great Wall of China. There’s as much wonder trying to comprehend how Copperfield conceives of tricks as there is in theorizing how he pulls them off. He weaves a narrative about the nurturing influence of his father into his show while helping audience members to find the kids within themselves. Copperfield creates worlds of wonder in more ways than one. –Matt Kelemen
To remain truly relevant after a quarter century in the music business, a band needs an outside force to introduce them to a new audience. And for Grand Funk Railroad, that outside force was Homer Simpson. In a 1996 Simpsons episode titled “Homerpalooza,” carpool driver Homer is rocking out to “Shinin’ On” when one of the kids in the backseat begs him to change the station. “But this is Grand Funk Railroad,” Homer says. “You kids know Grand Funk, right?” And just like that, Grand Funk received their pop culture wings and a second shot of life. –Matt Jacob

The Real Thing Cypress Hill was ahead of its time. The L.A. hip-hop group has been loudly proclaiming its support for marijuana since its eponymous 1991 debut album, with song titles like “Light Another” and “Stoned Is the Way of the Walk.” That album is also one of the most influential in the history of hip-hop, producing classics “How I Could Just Kill a Man” and “Hand on the Pump.” The group, featuring B-Real and Sen Dog and musicians DJ Muggs and Eric Bobo, continued to dominate hip-hop in the ’90s with hits like “Insane in the Brain” and “I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That,” and the members continued to strongly advocate for marijuana legalization. Cypress Hill was also one of the first groups to bridge the gap between rap and rock, collaborating with artists like Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth and Deftones, and scoring one of their biggest hits with “(Rock) Superstar.” Now, marijuana is legal in multiple states (and B-Real is the co-owner of a California dispensary), and groups like Hollywood Undead (who are opening
for Cypress Hill on the group’s current tour) consistently meld rap and rock in their music. The world has finally caught up with what Cypress Hill knew all along. –Josh Bell

WOW–The Vegas Spectacular is not just a world of wonder; there are multiple worlds of entertainment here. WOW blends elements of a Las Vegas variety show with modern staging and a soundtrack of familiar, beloved music for an immersive and intimate experience. “We try to give the audience a mixture of many different elements,” says creator and producer Hanoch Rosènn. “I like to see variety, different things that make me say, ‘Wow! How did they do that?’ It’s something very extravagant in terms of costumes, effects and music,
90 minutes of roller-coaster entertainment that’s good for the entire family.” Stuffed with acrobatics, dancing, comedy, juggling, and specialty performers such as America’s Got Talent crossbow expert Silvia Silvia, WOW offers nonstop action set against colorful and dramatic landscapes. The audience joins the voyage of Alberto as he discovers an alternative universe where mermaids and pirates frolic, skaters rotate in a tight circle at unbelievable speeds, and athletic acrobats defy physics performing on poles and ropes. –Brock Radke

It’s made with Maker’s Mark bourbon, ginger syrup and lemon juice and poured over a rock with Stone’s number (61). It’s presented with a sword in a VGK-branded boulder.

SPOTLIGHT Did you have any notion of what might lie ahead when Maurice first contacted you to play bass in what would evolve into the classic EWF lineup? Well, no. You have to understand that I was 18 years old and Maurice had just left Ramsey Lewis’ group. He asked me to come, and it was a life-changing thing. Of course, you don’t know that when you’re 18 years old. Now we know what Earth, Wind & Fire is and what we’ve done, and things like that. It’s easier to see now because we’re looking back now. At that time, nobody knew what was going to happen. It was just an idea, and the rest is history. EWF has always been a family affair. Now you have Philip Bailey Jr. in the band on background vocals. Yeah, he’s been with us for a few years now and doing a great job. And of course there’s myself, Ralph, Phillip, the Earth, Wind & Fire horns. It’s a good ensemble. You look like you keep yourself in great shape, judging from recent photos. Are you dedicated to being in shape physically to keep your energy up? Yeah, I’m in good shape. I’m in pretty good shape. I’m in the gym and I do a lot of yoga. Yeah, you’ve seen some pictures, I’m sure. There’s nothing obligatory about what you’re doing. It looks completely inspired by the spirit that’s been there since the beginning. Absolutely.

Earth, Wind & Fire bassist ready to groove Las Vegas Earth, Wind & Fire must be experienced live, as bassist Verdine White explained to Las Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen during a phone interview from White’s Los Angeles home. Late EWF visionary Maurice White continues to be a guiding spirit for his brother, singer Philip Bailey, percussionist Ralph Johnson and company as they return to Venetian Theatre to take fans to “Boogie Wonderland” via a decade of Top 10 hits, from “Shining Star” to “Let’s Groove.”
20 3.17.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
Do you feel like you’ve been appreciated more in the last couple of years than you had been in the last two decades of performing live? I don’t think we ever went away. To me, the last several years we’ve been going steadily. There are five different generations of people that come to our shows, and I do think the music is part of people’s soundtrack of their lives. That’s what I get. In Vegas, people from all over the world come to those shows.
What would Maurice think of the way you’re presenting Earth, Wind & Fire now? He’d be proud. Don’t forget now, we were not only in the band but we were also his students, and he would be very proud at what we have accomplished and what we’re doing. The fact of it is so many people love this band. He would be really proud. EWF’s evolution seems pretty organic. Well, it’s authentic. That’s how we started, you know? It’s real. It’s authentic. It is what it is. There’s no fakery. We just walk right out there and do it. Where do you see EWF going? I never think like that. I just like that we’re doing it, and that we’ve got great fans.

Love’s the Thing The revival of Hello, Dolly! is “a feast for the eyes,” according to actor Lewis J. Stadlen, who portrays Horace Vandergelder in the revered musical. This production stays true to the original Hello, Dolly! choreography and direction by the late Gower Champion when the play opened at the St. James Theatre in 1964 and starred Carol Channing. Citing the brilliant dancing, singing, comedy and drama, Stadlen said the show illustrates “the ability to find love and happiness in a 24-hour period.” As Stadlen explains his role, Horace starts out as being “an old fool,” and as he finds love and explores a new and different lifestyle (influenced by Dolly), he gradually becomes younger and happier in spirit and appearance. –Penny Levin The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, 7:30 p.m. March 19-22, 2 & 7:30 March 23-24, starting at $36 plus tax and fee. 702.749.2000
An Indie Spirit No matter what name he performs under, singer-songwriter Andrew McMahon has always made himself vulnerable, baring his soul for anyone who listens. First that was as the frontman for poppunk band Something Corporate, which released three albums in the early ’00s. Then it was as the leader of Jack’s Mannequin. When Jack’s disbanded in 2012 after releasing three albums, McMahon launched a solo career under the name Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. His third album under that name was released in November 2018, which means it may be time for another reinvention.

Or it may just be that McMahon has finally found the perfect vehicle for his self-expression, with an indie-pop project featuring a variety of collaborators. The latest Wilderness album, Upside-Down Flowers, was produced by Butch Walker and features a string section. The songs were inspired by McMahon’s upbringing and family history, including his battle with leukemia in 2005. The Associated Press said that the album “has a wide switchboard of emotions and McMahon the skill to expedite the connections.” That’s true for McMahon regardless of his chosen moniker. –Josh Bell

Double Take
True Success Pop-country singer Brett Young has dubbed his sound “Caliville,” indicating the intersection of laid-back rock from his native California and the longstanding country tradition of Nashville. Hit singles like “Sleep Without You,” “Mercy,” “In Case You Didn’t Know” and the recent “Here Tonight” embody his crossover style, with a bit of Nashville twang and a bit of California sensitivity. His latest album is titled Ticket to L.A. Young was inspired by listening to singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw, and as
Young has achieved success, DeGraw has become a personal and musical mentor. On Ticket, DeGraw co-wrote and contributed piano and vocals to the song “Chapters,” a heartfelt chronicle of Young’s journey as a musician. “That was another one of those personal validations where it felt like a huge milestone,” Young told Billboard. De Graw has been added as a coheadliner for Young’s Las Vegas concert, giving the friends the chance to perform together onstage, and bringing Young’s musical journey full-circle. –Josh Bell

Hot spot offers unforgettable views, experiences Hyde Bellagio operates under the enchantment that it’s a lost Italian villa, a hidden apartment within the walls of the resort. And once the lock is unlatched and you step inside, it’s a swanky world of elegance and intimacy. The cherry on top exists in the view Hyde offers—the nightclub’s outdoor space overlooks the world-famous Fountains of Bellagio. It’s about as close to the water wonder as you can get with a cocktail in hand. For those that want a more mellow experience, try visiting the nightclub during its lounge hours, beginning at 5 p.m. daily. It’s during this time you can imbibe on Hyde’s extensive craft cocktails. The menu recently added some new favorites like the Coconut Cartel, a fruity and citrusy blend of
26 3.17.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
Volcan de mi Tierra tequila, coconut purée, fresh lime juice and a splash of orange soda. For those that want a little pick-me-up and kick to their cocktail, try the new Plum Sour, a mix of Maker’s Mark bourbon, fresh lemon juice, housemade cinnamon syrup and topped with Red Bull Plum Twist. For a more buttery, silky tasting concoction, try the new Autumn Dusk, a balanced blend of Casamigos Reposado tequila, butterscotch schnapps, Licor 43, fresh orange and lemon juices and simple syrup. (Here’s an insider tip: those who hang out during the lounge hours get to stay for the nightclub experience, without paying the nightclub cover!) When 10:30 p.m. rolls around, Hyde lowers the lights and raises the energy—the intimate
nightclub has DJs spinning mashups, top 40 and EDM. Themed nights include INdustry Tuesdays and Friday Night Social, and both nights bring out the influencers in Las Vegas nightlife to party. She Loves Wednesdays is all about the ladies who get in for free until midnight. Reminisce while dancing to some of the hottest throwback songs and beats every Thursday from 8 p.m.-midnight for The Rewind, a Proper Throwback party. For some Sunday celebrations, Stereo Hyde offers guests an unforgettable VIP experience along with some of the top DJs spinning into the wee morning hours. So who’s ready to seek out Hyde? –Kiko Miyasato Bellagio, lounge 5 p.m. daily, nightclub 10:30 p.m. Tues.-Wed. & Fri.-Sun. 702.693.8700

There are some types of places where you automatically feel at home— Italian restaurants are that for me. Nothing soothes the soul like burrata, or tantalizes the tongue like a plate of rich pasta. At The Factory Kitchen in The Venetian, an outpost of the popular L.A. Arts District restaurant, you get that feeling of comfort, but with a bright, modern edge. The bar at the front makes a great place to chill and grab a drink before your meal. There are some heartily creative, perhaps even trendy, cocktails on the menu—consider the Big Brother, with bone marrow-infused bourbon, Averna, walnut and angostura bitters and orange peel. The alcohol may contribute a bit to how relaxed you are, and that’s a very good thing. There are just a few beers, but they’re good ones, with a couple of local offerings, a couple from California and a couple from Italy—of course. The wine list is extensive, and you’ll find plenty of help in selecting the proper glass for whatever course you are pairing it with. Starting the meal with appetizers is an excellent idea, and those tiny, sweet teardrops of pepper called peperú come stuffed with a soft cheese; they’re a mere mouthful, but perfect for a first bite. Italian beer-battered leeks with chickpea fritters or an 18-month aged prosciutto, covering lightly fried sage dough and a

super-soft stracciatella atop that, make for a good second one. But the focaccina calda al formaggio may make you forgo those dishes—the puffy flatbreads, with cheeses and meat inside, are delightful. The tradizionale, with crescenza cheese and lovely saltiness, is hard to stop munching on even if the entrée’s coming. The mandilli di seta might make holding back a tad seem wise, though. The folded squares of egg pasta are perfect for the almond basil pesto. Or try the casonzei, a pork sausage and veal ravioli with cured pork belly and reggiano. If you want to see how the pasta here is made, saunter back through the restaurant to the far end, where you may be lucky enough to catch a show— the pasta here is created by hand.
The meat lovers in your group may want to head down the menu to the slow-roasted pork belly, curving slices of meat across the plate in an unctuous, truly decadent dish. But you’ll find sea scallops and pink snapper, lamb chops and ribeye, also, plus several dishes of the day. The charred Brussels sprouts, accented with Ligurian olive oil, make a superior side. I’m always hesitant to order dessert after dinner, but I rarely regret it when I do. The Factory Kitchen has several excellent options, from a smooth panna cotta and a warm apple bread pudding to house-made sorbets and gelatos, but cannoli is hard to beat in an Italian restaurant. This one is super interesting, with pistachio on one end and orange marmalade on the other. Yay for the two-fer!

Louisa Hernandez
From small town to spreading her wings Growing up in the small town of Brawley, Calif., Louisa Hernandez was a shy girl. Today, she’s shed her shell and works at one of the most exciting bars in one of the most exciting cities— she’s a bartender at Cabo Wabo Cantina inside Miracle Mile Shops. “I love the environment of bartending,” Hernandez says. “It kinda feels like you’re just hanging out with friends. You get to meet a lot of people. I was shy growing up, but you learn to be outgoing and personable. … People are here to have a good time and they want to get to know their bartenders, ya know? So, you’re the life of the party behind the bar.” Hernandez has been entertaining Cabo Wabo guests for more than four years. In fact, when she moved to Vegas from her hometown, it was the first job she applied for as a bartender.
30 3.17.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
“This is a pretty wild place, we’re right in the middle of the Strip,” she says. “People always come here and have a good time,” especially fans of the bar and restaurant’s owner, rocker Sammy Hagar. “His fans come here all the time to try his tequila,” Hernandez says. “We’re known for our margaritas and our huge selection of tequila.” So, when Hernandez isn’t entertaining guests behind the bar, what does she do to have a good time? “I love to travel,” she says. “It’s one of my hobbies now. Some of my favorite spots I’ve been to are Punta Cana, Miami, Cancun and Cabo San Lucas.” And this spring Hernandez is traveling to Thailand. We say, not bad for a shy girl from a small town. –Kiko Miyasato
If you ask Hernandez what one drink she can make especially well, she’ll tell you the Vojito, plus it’s one of her favorite drinks on the cocktail menu. The Vojito is a seriously tasty cocktail and a refreshing twist on the classic mojito. The cocktail is a mix of Devotion Black and Blue vodka, fresh blackberries and blueberries, lime juice and mint, and topped with soda water. A great way to try a few of Cabo Wabo Cantina’s cocktails is to stop by during its half-off happy hour, Monday through Friday, 3-5 p.m. Indulge in half-off select margaritas, sangrias, shots, draft beer and even select appetizers. –KM

ON THE STRIP
Asian Adventure
Restaurant mixes new creations with favorite dishes Still one of the most dynamic destinations in all of Las Vegas, Tao (The Venetian, 702.388.8338) is the one-stop shop that offers restaurant, lounge, nightclub and dayclub experiences. With all that action, it’s sometimes easy to overlook the wide-ranging and spectacular cuisine served every night in this theatrical dining room. When it opened in 2005, Tao changed the game as far as Asian food on the Strip, and its continued evolution is equally exciting. For every longtime favorite
dish on the menu (like yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño, satay of sea bass with miso or the spicy shrimp, king crab and asparagus roll) there’s another modern creation ready to tempt your festive group. Don’t miss the Peking duck spring roll with hoisin sauce, the delicate lobster wontons with shiitake mushroom and ginger broth, spicy chili chicken with pineapple and soy or the Crispy Snapper in the Sand, a whole fried fish smothered in crunchy garlic and ready to share with the table. –Brock Radke
Jianbing, often described as a Chinese burrito, has been around for centuries, and it’s served offmenu at Niu Gu (3400 S. Jones Blvd. No. 16, 702.570.6363). Short rib and beef tongue are popular. So is back rib, marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce and bean curd, then simmered for hours, and ginger-soy chicken, fried yet tender without skin. Chef Jimmy Li says jianbing can be done a hundred ways, but he likes to mix in potatoes, pork, onions and the occasional squid ink rice on a pan-fried flour tortilla. The result is more simple, crisp and crunchy than its carb-heavy counterparts. –Rob Kachelriess
#trending Currently stirring up serious buzz is Mr. Coco (Palms, 702.942.7777), a new luxury cocktail hideaway tucked away in the renovated resort’s Fantasy Tower. Once you find the private elevator whisking you up to an intimate, European-inspired, 47-seat space with velvet banquettes, rose gold mirrored tables and an Italian Zanzibar stone and silver-blue marble bar, you’ll choose from a list of highly refined cocktails as well as small-plate snacks created by former L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon chef Steve Benjamin. –BR

The Book
Vegas is the right spot to catch all the basketball action
AT
approximately 9:10 a.m. on March 21, someone in a black-and-white striped shirt will loft an orange-and-black sphere skyward in an East Coast arena, signaling the start of a college basketball feast that will see 48 NCAA Tournament games contested over four days in eight U.S. cities. The most exciting action? As always, that will occur right here in Las Vegas, which annually welcomes tens of thousands of college hoops fans to the city’s sportsbooks, bars and restaurants. They come to eat, drink, bet, cheer, boo, bet, laugh, cry and, of course, bet. Indeed, the first weekend of March Madness in Vegas is an experience like no other. Where should you settle in for all the edge-ofyour-seat excitement? Glad you asked:
BOOK IT As bucket-list items go, spending at least part of March Madness in a Las Vegas sportsbook ranks somewhere between taking a European vacation and winning the lottery. The electric atmosphere is nonpareil and lasts from the day’s first shot attempt to the final

whistle. The biggest, most boisterous crowds can be found in classic sportsbooks such as Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas, The Mirage, MGM Grand, The Venetian and the Westgate SuperBook. For a new, modern twist on the sportsbook experience, consider The Book inside The Linq. The recently opened venue boasts more than 50 televisions, the Strip’s highest resolution LED video wall, a pour-it-yourself Beer Wall, family room-like seating options and specially crafted food-and-beverage offerings. Another new sportsbook experience can be found at Park MGM’s Moneyline Sports Bar & Book, where fans can eat, drink, wager, watch and even play games (duckpin bowling, anyone?). One important tip when it comes to Vegas sportsbooks during the opening weekend of March Madness: Arrive early—very early, as seats disappear faster than a game of musical chairs.

PARTY ON Dozens of restaurants, bars, showrooms and other venues throughout Vegas also embrace the madness that is March with game-day viewing parties. Among the bevy of options: Smoked Burgers & BBQ at The Forum Shops at Caesars; Beer Park at Paris Las Vegas; AmeriCAN Beer & Cocktails on the Linq Promenade; PBR Rock Bar & Grill at Miracle Mile Shops in Planet Hollywood Resort; The D Las Vegas (the downtown hotel-casino that hosts a weekend-long Public Basketball Bash on the 12th floor); Hoops Central in the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas; Rockhouse in The Grand Canal Shoppes at
The Venetian/Palazzo; Paradise Lounge and Umami Burger, Beer Garden & Sports Book at SLS Las Vegas; TAP Sports Bar in MGM Grand; The Still in The Mirage; and Beerhaus at The Park adjacent to New York-New York. Note that many of these (and other) establishments require advance ticket purchases and/or food-and-beverage minimums throughout the four-day weekend. But given that they all mimic the sportsbook experience—with energetic crowds glued to the wall-to-wall TVs showing all the games—the cost is more than justified. Of course, all it takes is a buzzer-beating shot to go your way, and that cost very well could be covered!

other music act captured the effervescence and era-of-good-feeling energy of the early ’80s like Daryl Hall and John Oates. An extended engagement at the Colosseum represents a full circle of sorts, as the duo’s 1973 album Abandoned Luncheonette featured a song called “Las Vegas Turnaround (The Stewardess Song).” That song might have only been a footnote to the future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ career had it not been inspired by a stewardess who subsequently collaborated on several No. 1 Daryl Hall and John Oates hits: Sara Allen, who would later become Hall’s longtime creative and romantic partner. Allen also inspired their first Top Five single, “Sara Smile.” She was listed in the composition credits for War’s “Low Rider” before appearing alternately as “Sara” or “Sandy Allen,” from 1976 album Bigger Than Both of Us.

It’s All You Need It’s a concept that goes back nearly 20 years, and it makes so much sense you wonder why it didn’t happen sooner: a Cirque du Soleil show built around the revered catalog of the Fab Four right in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. Beatles legend George Harrison and Cirque co-founder Guy Laliberté initially discussed the
concept in 2000, and after about six years of negotiations, collaborations and planning, The Beatles LOVE (The Mirage, 702.792.7777) debuted inside a custom-built, $100 million theater at The Mirage. To say the mashup has worked is an understatement along the lines of saying

Vegas summers are a tad tepid: Nearly 10 million people have taken in more than 5,000 performances of a show that next month will celebrate its 12th anniversary. To put that number into perspective, consider this: The Beatles LOVE has lasted two years longer than The Beatles themselves. –Matt Jacob
