NEON IS NOW THE OFFICIAL STATE ELEMENT Nevada got its nickname the Silver State from its silver rush days of the mid-1800s, but now, with the passage of Nevada Assembly Bill 182, it could very well have a new one: the Neon State. Neon was officially made the state element by Gov. Steve Sisolak on April 23, thanks to the students of Carson Montessori School who lobbied for the passage, citing neon’s prevalent use in the state and its importance in Reno and Las Vegas’ identities. To celebrate, the Neon Museum is offering 10 percent off all merchandise in its gift store through May 6. —Genevie Durano

THINGS THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK

PARKING ON THE STRIP Wynn Resorts began offering free self-parking for everyone at its Strip properties without restrictions on May 1. Following a trend among Strip resorts, Wynn started charging for parking in August 2016. But it became the first major Strip resort to back away from the fees in July, when it started offering free parking again for hotel guests and patrons spending at least $50.

ASSANGE GOES TO PRISON On May 1, a British judge sentenced WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to 50 weeks in prison for skipping bail seven years ago and holing up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. The Australian secret-spiller had lived in the South American country’s London embassy since June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he was wanted for questioning over rape and sexual assault allegations made by two women. He was arrested by British police April 11 after Ecuador revoked his political asylum. MAINE BANS STYROFOAM Maine Gov. Janet Mills on April 30 signed a bill banning single-use food and drink containers made from polystyrene foam. The law takes effect in 2021. Oregon, Vermont and Connecticut are also considering banning such food containers statewide, and dozens of communities have passed their own bans, some of which date back to the late 1980s. Maine’s law will prohibit “covered establishments” like restaurants and grocery stores from using the containers. Hospitals, seafood shippers and statefunded meals-on-wheels programs will be exempt. BAFFERT SEEKS SIXTH DERBY WIN Horse trainer Bob Baffert will have three chances to make history May 4. He saddles Game Winner, Improbable and Roadster in the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby, and a victory would be a record-tying sixth for Baffert. The betting favorite, though, is Omaha Beach, a California horse trained by Richard Mandella.

VEGAS ROOTS RETURNS Grab your shovels, kids! After going dark for the winter, the Lil’ Roots Garden Club returns to Downtown’s Vegas Roots Community Garden. For $30 a quarter, children ages 3-12 get their own 12-square-foot irrigated garden plot as well as all the necessary tools and equipment to grow a cornucopia of fruits and veggies. The club also offers monthly classes that rotate between gardening, yoga and cooking. Adults can join the fun by renting their own 50-square-foot raised garden for $125 a quarter. In addition to the thrill of getting your hands dirty, gardening helps children (and adults) learn healthy eating habits, according to Rosalind Brooks, director of Vegas Roots Community Garden. “I really encourage parents to let their kids plant what they want to eat,” Brooks says. “Kids will eat what they grow.” Then there are the more holistic benefits. Brooks says starting a garden is a catalyst for overall wellness. “A garden really grows other areas of your life. For me, starting the garden from a desert lot and turning it into what it is really does show me firsthand that I can grow any area of my life. I can turn any type of nothingness into something great.” —C. Moon Reed

IN THIS ISSUE TEACHERS UNION AND SUPPORTERS TO LAWMAKERS: FUND CCSD SCHOOLS NOW

More than a thousand educators, parents and students from the Clark County School District attended a rally April 27 outside the Lloyd D. George U.S. Court House in Downtown Las Vegas with hopes of pressuring Nevada’s elected officials to increase school funding. Donning red shirts and holding signs that read “Fund Our Schools Now,” attendees called on legislators to deliver on promised teacher raises, reduce class sizes districtwide and increase resources overall prior to the end of the legislative session in June. Organized by the Clark County Education Association, the rally included speeches from teachers, administrators, students, parents and elected officials, all of whom touched on why CCSD, one of the fastest-growing and the fifthlargest school district in the country, needs more funding. In 2018, Nevada ranked 47th in the nation for per-pupil funding for public education. Some speakers took aim at Gov. Steve Sisolak’s proposed budget for 2019-21, which will allocate an estimated $55 million to $70 million to CCSD based on the state’s funding formula. Speakers also drew attention to class sizes at CCSD, among the largest in the nation, and the need to hire and retain more teachers and staff. Speeches stopped short of calling for a strike if CCSD doesn’t receive funding increases previously promised by Sisolak, but some attendees held pro-strike signs. Keenan Korth, communications director for the Clark County Education Association, said after the rally that he was pleased with the turnout and hopes lawmakers will pay attention to the CCEA’s demands. “We think the folks that were there today are leaving energized and that they’re ready to win this funding fight,” Korth said. —Miranda Willson (Photo by Miranda Alam/ Special to Weekly)

Blue cheese wings at Naked City What’s the best part of chicken wings? One could argue it’s the blue cheese for dipping, and Naked City owner Chris Palmeri agrees. That’s why, after being struck with a moment of brilliance, he offers blue cheese wings. Instead of being tossed in hot sauce, they’re tossed in his house-made, tangy dressing. And of course, hot sauce is offered on the side for dipping. The Buffalo native isn’t a savage!

You might not be aware of this, but there are secret menus across the Vegas Valley, possibly even at some of your favorite spots. They exist for a variety of reasons, but mostly they’re just fun. It’s like a password to a speakeasy, and now, you’re getting the invite, too. But be aware, there are secrets that even we can’t divulge, ranging from restaurants operating out of private residences to Tamale Alley, a street lined with vendors selling their wares out of the back of Aerostar minivans on weekends. (Miranda Alam/Special to Weekly)

Oyster shooter at Other Mama An off-menu oyster shooter isn’t uncommon at Japanese restaurants. But most don’t achieve a level of detail like Other Mama, which begins with a West Coast oyster swimming in Junmai sake. Ponzu and teriyaki sauces are included in the mix, with the addition of exactly seven drops of Sriracha, because GM Allen Owens says, “Anything more is too garlicky; any less and you don’t taste it.” The shooter is finished with pickled vinegar, fresh cilantro and parsley and a dollop of ikura for a meld of sweet, heat and salt.

Miso-rubbed porterhouse at Sparrow + Wolf Selling some 25 steaks a night, Brian Howard’s 30-day dry-aged, miso-rubbed porterhouse might be the worst-kept secret menu item in the Valley. But the local luminary says it provides his team a creative outlet, particularly when it comes to the ever-changing lineup of American banchan accompanying the cut. The funky, 32-ounce beast is accompanied by garlic naan and a drizzle of Sicilian olive oil with a host of rotating accoutrements. They have recently included red wine-braised cabbage, potato pave—thin-stacked scalloped potatoes with bonito—and octopus head salad. But the selections rotate depending upon the whims of the kitchen, so you never know what you might get. (Miranda Alam/Special to Weekly)

Sea bass at MR CHOW It seems a lot of people are familiar with the multiple off-menu dishes at Rao’s at Caesars Palace, but equally noteworthy on the property are a pair of offerings at Mr Chow: the smoked bean curd roll and Beijing sea bass with pine nuts. The former is a vegan dish—bean curd swaddling a combination of carrots, bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, wafting the scent of oolong tea. The latter delivers chunks of flaky sea bass in a caramelized red bean sauce, adorned with pine nuts for texture. Both are worth seeking out.

Za’atar man’oushe at Rooster Boy Café If you haven’t spent time in the Middle East, there’s a good chance you’ve never encountered the wonder of za’atar, a spice mixture that includes oregano and thyme. At the homey Rooster Boy Café in Desert Shores, chef/ owner Sonia El-Nawal is proud to offer a taste in the form of flatbread layered with the spice blend, a breakfast staple of her native Lebanon. So sidle up to the counter and unwind with a cup of coffee while awaiting an unfamiliar treat.

Ma Lat at Blossom The 100-item menu at Aria’s Blossom offers myriad high-end Chinese dishes, but one of its most popular isn’t found anywhere in that count: ma lat fish. Its Western name is “spicy water fish,” which only begins to hint at its spiciness. In fact, the reason it remains off-menu is that Chef Chi Kwun Choi refuses to deviate from the characteristic heat delivered from Chilean sea bass bathed in a Szechuan pepper and red chilestrewn broth combining chile and grapeseed oils. The dish is complex and mind-numbingly hot in all the best ways.

Secret Cocktails Secret menu items aren’t limited to restaurants. One of the Strip’s most popular is a cocktail— the Verbena at the Cosmopolitan’s Chandelier Bar. It was a seasonal drink on the resort’s opening menu, and chief mixologist Mariena Mercer continued offering it after a raucous outpouring of support. Nowadays, you can find the drink on any of the showcase bar’s multiple levels. ¶ So what’s the buzz about this cocktail? It’s actually the buzz button, a Szechuan flower that extenuates the taste buds with a tingling sensation characteristic of the plant’s namesake cuisine, driving some to call it the Face Melter cocktail. But don’t be afraid of this Asian twist on the margarita, as it’s a drinking experience unlike any other. ¶ Farther north on the Strip, a trio of secret menus centered around classic cocktails are available at Rosina inside the Palazzo. Depending on your libation of choice, you can choose between Manhattans, Old Fashioneds or juleps. From there liberties are taken, such as with the well-balanced banana-laced, reposado-centric Last Fortress Manhattan to the aged-rum-based Early to Rise julep with a coffee infusion. (Courtesy)

BBQ (at the Palms) There was much fanfare when chef Michael Symon’s Mabel’s BBQ opened in the newly refreshed Palms at the end of last year. Certain guests were given a special key for another Symon concept opening a couple of months later, which turned out to be Sara’s, a supper club that can be accessed through an unmarked door near the bar at Mabel’s. And while the barbecue joint can be a raucous affair, Sara’s offers a whole different vibe: It’s white linen napkins and elevated classic American cuisine, served by captains who expertly perform tableside preparations like they’ve been doing them for a hundred years. Sara’s is bespoke to the bone, and don’t even get us started on the prime rib. (Christopher DeVargas/Staff)

For a city that lets it all hang out, Las Vegas has a few secrets it likes to keep. And for a town obsessed with food and drink, this naturally extends to eating spots that require a little insider info. Lucky you, we’re in the know. Here are some of the Valley’s best-kept venue secrets …

n Ghost Donkey inside

With just eight seats at the bar, Ghost Donkey (a New York City transplant that earns cool cred right off the bat) is a speakeasy made for tequila and mezcal lovers. Finding it is a bit tricky, but after you’ve made your way through Block 16 Urban Food Hall, there’s a secret door that leads to this agave paradise. You can order tasting flights from the extensive selection (tequila is classified from the highlands to the lowlands) or try any of the specialty cocktails, highballs or frozen margaritas. And what goes best with Mexican spirits? Nachos, of course, and here you’ll find selections such as truffle or chorizo and tripe. We bet this is one secret you won’t be able to keep to yourself.

There’s so much going on at Park MGM these days—NoMad! Eataly! Gaga!—but one restaurant that’ll score you points is Bavette’s, a steakhouse straight out of Chi-Town. Bavette’s is sure to impress anyone with a menu that’s on point and ambience that’ll take your heart rate down instantly (think dim lighting, dark paneling, vintage murals and Tiffany lamps that will wean you off that smartphone blue light). But Bavette’s best feature? A secret lounge in the back that invites you to linger with just one more Old Fashioned. It’s dark and intimate, a keeper of secrets in a town that has many to tell.

From reading this list, you should know by now to pay attention to every nondescript door you might encounter at the Cosmopolitan. Hidden away in the lively Jaleo, where a Spanish fiesta seems to be taking place at all hours, this intimate, nine-seat gem of a restaurant is one of the most coveted dining experiences in town. The chef-driven tasting menu comprises 20-plus courses that’s constantly evolving. A seat at é is not cheap ($275 per person), and scoring a reservation requires patience (make reservations online three months in advance). But the payoff? A culinary experience that can never be replicated (or documented— taking photos with your phone will break the chefs’ hearts. Put that thing away and be present for a couple of hours.)

n The Barbershop

n Su Casa inside Mi Casa

n Bavette’s secret

lounge (at Park MGM)

Grill (at Silverton)

We can make this whole list about secret places in the Cosmopolitan (if you haven’t tried Secret Pizza on the third floor in a narrow hallway next to Jaleo, go there, stat!). The newest contender is the Barbershop, a literal place to get a haircut and shave but with a Cosmo twist: It’s also a Prohibition era-inspired bar. It can be accessed through a small door marked “Janitor,” and once you’re in, you’ll be treated to an upscale watering hole complete with a vintage 1800s mahogany bar from Kentucky. During the day, you can multitask and get a cut and shave; in the evening, relax with a whiskey- or bourbonforward cocktail while enjoying a rotating band of DJs.

Say you go out for Mexican food and then halfway there, you realize that what you really want are gorgeous tuna rolls and pieces of sashimi lightly bathed in a soy-and-wasabi concoction. You’re in luck, because Su Casa at Silverton understands your conundrum. Tucked inside Mi Casa Grill Cantina, this Latininspired Asian restaurant features poke, sushi, sashimi, nigiri, ramen … and ceviches. (Well, hamachi, tuna and salmon ceviches.) Su Casa is a nice little surprise, and in a city with endless choices, it’s nice to go someplace where you don’t have to go far should you choose to pivot.

We’ve all heard of the elusive “secret menus” offered at nearly every fast-food chain, but have you ever tried one of these off-menu items? If not, you could be missing out on some of the yummiest (and most unique) eats fast food has to offer. These items aren’t always available by name at every location—they sometimes rely on a saavy, in-the-know server—but when all else fails, you can order the components and construct these fan favorites yourself. By Katie Visconti | Special to Weekly Photographs by Christopher DeVargas

In-N-Out Wendy’s n Meat cube Four beef patties that equal a pound of beef makes up this monster sandwich with all the fixings on a soft bun. n Barnyard Burger Can’t decide between a chicken sandwich or a burger? This off-menu item is the perfect fix—a chicken patty, beef patty, crispy bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato between a bun.

The hamburger joint with a small menu has secret options beyond its “animal-style” onion- and pickle-smothered burgers we know and love. n Grilled cheese A vegetarian favorite! Just as it sounds, with their sauce and all the fixings. n Tomato wrapped We all know protein style, but you can also get tomatoes instead of the bun. Warning: frequent orderers say this is the messiest way to have your burger.

Chick-Fil-A The classic menu gets a little flair with these secret upgrades. n Chicken quesadilla Not in the mood for a sandwich or salad? Try ordering a cheese quesadilla served up with crispy chicken. Use one of Chick-Fil-A’s many awesome sauces for dipping. This item isn’t available at all locations—it’s more common in the Southwest. n Buffalo chicken sandwich This one is simple. Ask for buffalo sauce on your spicy chicken sandwich to spice up your standard order.

lv w c ov e r s t o r y

Del Taco n Stoner Burrito Talk about playing to your audience. This monster includes beans, cheese, red sauce, special sauce and fries. If your server seems confused, ask for a bean and cheese burrito with fries and the above sauces. n “Go Bold” Ask your server to “go bold” and they’ll add a secret sauce and fries to anything you order ... seriously anything, shakes included.

LV W c ov e r s t o r y

5 . 2 .1 9

Arbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s n Meat mountain This is for the ultra-hungry or just plain bold. The sandwich is made up of chicken tenders, ham, roast beef, roast turkey, corned beef, Angus steak, brisket and cheddar and Swiss cheeses, and topped with bacon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $10 and is only available at certain locations.

n Turkey classic sandwich A classic roast beef swapped with turkey.

5 . 2 .1 9

lv w c ov e r s t o r y

Chipotle n Burritodilla Bye-bye, standard meat and cheese quesadilla. This monster builds on that with the addition of Chipotle toppings of your choice. Do you also enjoy beans, pico and fajita veggies on your quesadilla? This option is for you.

ShaKE SHACK

Carl’s Jr.

n Shack-cago burger When you want Chicago hot dog toppings without the hot dog, order a burger and ask them to add the Shack-cago hot dog toppings.

n “Low-carb” Ask for the “lowcarb”version of any burger on the menu to get it wrapped in lettuce instead of bread.

n Peanut butter and bacon ShackBurger According to multiple secret menu sites, this is a must-try: a Bacon ShackBurger smothered in peanut sauce. n Sport pepper cheese fries Chopped sport peppers added to Shake Shack’s cheese fries make for an easy (and delicious) swap.

n Nachos It’s not on the menu, but order them and pile high with the toppings of your choice from Chipotle’s usual lineup.

n Quesarito A standard Chipotle burrito with fillings of your choice, wrapped with a cheese quesadilla instead of a plain tortilla. If you’re a cheese lover, hop on this wagon.

n Carl’s Jr. “Veg it” Famous Star Burger Order any burger and say “veg it” to have the meat patty excluded. Add to it an order of fried zucchini for a delicious, albeit unhealthy, alternative.

Sonic n Grilled ham and cheese Just ask for ham added to their classic grilled cheese to step up your usual.

Starbucks The options for this ever-so-popular coffee chain are endless. There’s an entire fan website (starbucks secretmenu.net) showcasing favorite combinations.

n Apple Pie Frappuccino Cream, apple juice, cinnamon dolce syrup and caramel.

n Butterbeer Frappuccino A nod to Harry Potter, this beverage combines a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with caramel and toffee nut.

n Cake Batter Frappuccino A favorite that’s a simple ask: Almond flavoring is added to a Vanilla Bean Creme Frappuccino.

n Neapolitan Frappuccino If they don’t know it by name, order the Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino with two pumps mocha, vanilla bean powder and coconut drizzle on top.

n The Undertow The drink for those needing extra energy. Drip coffee, three pumps of your favorite flavor, a splash of milk and two shots espresso.

n Blue Drink An Insta-worthy drink: Order an Iced Passion Tea with soy milk and vanilla syrup. Even though the passion tea is a deep pink, this drink turns blue (though we have no idea why).

n The Incredible Hulk No shortage of superhero secret menu items here. Try this beefy fivelayer burrito with guacamole instead of nacho cheese.

n Cheesarito A simple order but secret menu fans rave about it: melted cheese, scallions and sauce wrapped in a soft tortilla.

Fatburger

Burger King

n The Hypocrite This sassy off-menu item pairs a veggie pattie, cheese, a pile of lettuce and ... wait for it ... bacon.

n Suicide Burger Four beef patties, four slices of cheese, bacon and special sauce. n Veggie Whopper Vegetarians, you don’t have to settle for just tomatoes, cheese and lettuce. Veggie patties are available upon request.

McDonald’s There’s speculation whether these secret menu items actually exist or are just Frankenstein creations by avid Mickey D’s fans. They’re not officially recognized by corporate, so your order relies on luck, location and a savvy server. If you find that your local spot isn’t familiar with these sandwich hybrids, hack the menu, order each sandwich separately and combine them yourself. n The Land, Sea & Air Burger A Big Mac, McChicken and Filet-O-Fish sandwich in one, details on the toppings are mixed. Chowhound claims it’s literally the above three sandwiches, plus their corresponding toppings combined, while others says it’s a beef patty, chicken patty and fish filet with Big Mac fixings. n The McGangBang This one is surely not official. Order a McDouble cheeseburger and a McChicken off the dollar menu and smash the chicken sandwich between the two beef patties for this do-it-yourself secret menu fix.

Vegans, Rejoice! What’s no secret is that being vegan and trying to find quick food options can be really difficult. Here are 10 menu items that are actually vegan and super easy to order. 1. Wendy’s Plain Baked Potato. Take it home and add your own pat of vegan butter! 2. Wendy’s Berry Burst Chicken Salad. Hold the meat and cheese. 3. Burger King French Toast Sticks. This might sound strange, but they aren’t made with milk or eggs. 4. Chipotle Sofritas. It’s tofu braised with peppers and spices. Add it to a burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans and tomato salsa for a killer meal. 5. Chick-fil-A Superfood Side Salad. Broccoli, kale, roasted nuts and cranberries comprise this yummy vegan alternative. 6. McDonald’s Fruit & Maple Oatmeal. Order without the cream. 7. Subway Veggie Delite. Minus the cheese and mayo, add Subway Vinaigrette and you’ve got a perfect vegan sandwich. 8. Denny’s Build Your Own Burger. Get the veggie patty and ask for no cheese. 9. Taco Bell side of black beans and rice. Add pico de gallo, lettuce and guacamole and you have a solid meal. 10. Domino’s Pizza Thin Crust Pacific Veggie. Order with no cheese and get all the veggies available.

n The Mc10:35 Originally available only during that special, short window of time when McDonald’s served breakfast while also switching over to the lunch menu, this combo is two burger patties, egg, Canadian bacon, cheese and the burger fixings. Now that McDonald’s serves all-day breakfast, you can order it whenever you like. If your local chain doesn’t know what you’re talking about, just order a McMuffin and McDouble and combine them yourself.

It’s a good week to be an indie-rock fan in Las Vegas, well beyond Wolf Parade man Spencer Krug’s May 8 stop at the Bunkhouse (see Page 19). First up, fresh off an appearance at Coachella, Beach Fossils plays the Hard Rock Hotel pool on May 2 (8 p.m., $20). The Brooklyn foursome’s sunny melodies and breezy instrumentation should sync up well with the outdoor setting. On May 4, DeVotchKa performs at the Las Vegas Film Festival’s closing party at Fremont Country Club (9:30 p.m., $23-$30). The veteran Denver act, whose music has been variously described as circus-rock, cabaretfolk and gypsy-punk, is most revered for its high-energy live show. The big-screen connection? Leader Nick Urata has scored such movies as Little Miss Sunshine, Paddington and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. And on May 7, The Dodos return to town after a four-year absence, stopping at the Bunkhouse (9 p.m., $12-$15) with support from locals Chefs and Suites. The rhythmic San Francisco duo, which impressed during a 2015 opening set for Mew on the Strip, should get to dig deeper into its seven-album catalog this time. –Spencer Patterson

Questlove might bring a hip-hop block party to the Strip

By Brock Radke

omewhere between his duties as the leader of The Roots, his steady gig keeping Jimmy Fallon cool, writing books on music and creativity and crafting a delicious vegetarian cheesesteak, Questlove has been spinning at Park MGM’s speakeasy On the Record almost since it opened. This weekend he expands his Vegas ventures by taking a turn in the booth at the renovated resort’s new day party, JEMAA at the NoMad Pool. “Now that I’ve had about five good On the Record runs, I’m getting cocky, so bring on the pool party,” Quest kids. “It will be a little different. I don’t want to be the guy who’s stuck in his ways and only what I think is quality stuff is what you’re stuck with. Obviously my pool party set will be a little more to the right compared to the left-of-center stuff I would do in my [club] set. But I’m still going to make it creative, and that’s the important part.” It’s good to have you back in Vegas on a regular basis. What do you think of On the Record? It’s been a minute since I had a residency there, and it’s nice to have a residency in such a relaxed, unpressurized atmosphere. Vegas is one of probably three places in America where I feel there’s a pressure to re-create the countdown on New Year’s Eve every 10 minutes. [At] On the Record, I finally found the spot that lets me do me and allows me some space to experiment. Are you looking forward to the JEMAA pool party or are you apprehensive? Actually, I prefer to do more afternoon gigs. That’s where my sweet spot is. A lot of my memories of early hip-hop are rooted in afternoon block parties, from noon to 9 or whenever the cops shut it down. But the Vegas pool party is something else. I gotta figure out a clever plan that keeps it creative.

You’ve frequently played Vegas with The Roots for a long time now and the city has changed a lot as a music destination. From your perspective, does Vegas feel like a cooler musical city these days? It is—not to take away from Celine or Elton or Britney or whoever has been there. There was a point before Fallon when we were trying to figure out how to do the same [residency] thing in Atlantic City, thinking in terms of how we don’t want to do this Grateful Dead, 275-days-a-year-on-theroad thing. We’d been doing it from 1993 to 2007, and it was really wearing and tearing on us super hard. We were trying to Celine Dion this sh*t but on the East Coast. But yes, Vegas is basically the new LA. Practically all of my friends and peers have been moving to Vegas, and all of LA is just basically moving to Las Vegas. And on top of that, a lot of us tourists are discovering there’s a lot more life in the city than just the Strip that we know. I think in five years Vegas is the destination point for entertainment, period.

ANTICIPATING UNCORK’D THE VALLEY’S LARGEST FOOD FESTIVAL HAS SURPRISES IN STORE THIS YEAR BY GENEVIE DURANO

ncork’d has logged enough years in Las Vegas—this is its 13th edition—that it has become a must-attend food event, from the May 9 Saber Off to the last brunch at Rao’s on May 12. The stalwarts of the fine dining scene will be on hand, of course, but there will also be some new faces this year. “I’ve been warned it’s an assault on the senses in the most beautiful way possible,” says newbie Will Guidara of NoMad hotel and restaurant. “It’s like an urban carnival where there are many exciting things happening everywhere.” If this is your first time attending Uncork’d, there’s no real way to prepare for the four-day gastronomic feast of Dionysian proportions. Here, we highlight the new events we’re most excited about. (And if you can’t get tickets to individual events, the Grand Tasting on May 10 is always a sure bet to see some famous faces.) Roses and Rosé With Lisa Vanderpump (May 9, Caesars Palace) This event is for you if you’re a fan of the reality star. It promises to be a night of intrigue and TV-ready moments fueled by an endless flow of rosé and cocktails. Perfect Peking Duck and Other Secrets of Chinese Cooking (May 10, Wynn) If you aspire to make Peking duck at home, here’s your chance to learn from the best: Chef Ming Yu of Wing Lei will offer an interactive cooking demonstration of the prized dish, as well as other signatures. Champagne Brunch and Truffle-Making With Christina Tosi (May 11, the Cosmopolitan) What better way to spend Saturday morning than to learn from Milk Bar founder Christina Tosi the secrets to her cake truffle? Don a headband and enjoy bottomless Champagne, followed by brunch. Under the Stars at the NoMad Pool (May 11, Park MGM) The NoMad Pool is the latest venue to make a splash in town. For Uncork’d, Guidara plans to turn the pool into something unforgettable. “The dinner we’re doing, it’s for 60 people,” he says. “Without giving anything away, we want to have some fun surprises. The idea is to have it be a meal that kind of moves around over the course of the evening—for some deliciousness and fun and adventure.”

After a successful launch last year, this year’s version of Vegas UnStripped—the little local festival that could—returns on May 11, bigger and badder than ever. Eight of the 10 chefs who participated in 2018 are back, plus another 10 newcomers including Saipan Chutima of Lotus of Siam, Johnny Church of Cookfast LLC and Shaun King, formerly of Momofuku. “We want to show visitors and locals that we have this critical mass of [culinary] talent that needs to be supported and there’s a value in supporting them,” says Eric Gladstone, founder of the event. Vegas UnStripped: Second Helping will also feature six local bars shaking up cocktails to complement the cuisine, including Jammyland, the Sand Dollar Lounge and Velveteen Rabbit. The goal of the fest, which takes place in the parking lot behind Esther’s Kitchen in Downtown’s Arts District, isn’t just to introduce the high-level talent of “neighborhood” chefs to patrons, but also for the chefs to push beyond what they would normally do and give attendees a dining experience they haven’t had anywhere else. Says Gladstone, “We don’t just want a dish from their menu. We want them to do something unique that says, ‘This is our next step, this is the next frontier.’ You’re going to get interesting, exciting food.” –Jason Harris

Vegas UnStripped May 11, 8 p.m.-midnight, $75. Esther’s Kitchen parking lot, 1130 S. Casino Center Blvd. #110, vegasunstripped.com.

FLIP OF THE COIN TAKING BACK SUNDAY BRINGS ITS 20TH-ANNIVERSARY TOUR (AND A UNIQUE SET-CHOOSING DEVICE) TO TOWN FOR TWO SHOWS BY ANNIE ZALESKI ost-hardcore lifers Taking Back Sunday are on a 20th-anniversary tour with a twist: The Long Island, New York, band is doing a series of two-concert stands, playing beloved 2002 debut album Tell All Your Friends each night. Before the first concert in each city, a coin flip determines whether Taking Back Sunday will also play 2004’s Where You Want to Be or 2006’s Louder Now (the other one gets played on night two). It’s an ambitious concept, but the band is taking it in stride, bassist Shaun Cooper tells Las Vegas Weekly.

How is the coin flip idea working out on the twonight stands on this tour? It’s a little bit stressful. There’s a lot of songs to keep track of in your head. We’re playing, over the two nights, about 50-something songs. But at this point of the tour I think we’ve got everything finely tuned. It’s been keeping us on our toes, and it’s made us a tighter band. People still really seem to gravitate toward Tell

All Your Friends. What do you recall about making that record? We signed to Victory [Records] very quickly, and they were very excited, so they rushed us into the studio, which was great for us because we didn’t know what we were doing. It was kinda trial by fire. … We had the songs ready to go. I spent a total of four hours in the studio doing the bass tracks, like half a day. And that was good economically, because we had a tiny budget. It was just mass confusion and mass excitement being in a real studio. Why do you think that album then has remained such a touchstone for fans? It was just right place, right time: the lyrics and melodies that [guitarist] John [Nolan] and [vocalist] Adam [Lazzara] came up with; the music that all of us together in the room came up with; what we were inspired by. Something took hold. Victory Records was also a huge part in getting it out to the masses. They were airing commercials on MTV2 and Fuse at the time, which were relatively new stations throughout the

States. We were also touring our butts off. We did early tours with The Used and The Starting Line and Box Car Racer—Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker’s side project. We were so hungry to play our music for everyone that we toured the States continually. Early-2000s post-hardcore and emo seems as popular now as at the time. To what do you attribute that endurance? There was a definite downturn about eight or nine years ago, when people didn’t like this genre of music. They thought it was lame. We put our nose to the grindstone and just went back to work. We kept creating music. It takes guts to keep going. This was never a business plan. This wasn’t about getting the girls. This wasn’t about making money. This is about our true love of making music and belief in the guys creating that music. We really believe in Taking Back Sunday. For more of this interview, visit lasvegasweekly.com.

A SPENCER KRUG PLAYLIST, TO PREPARE YOU FOR HIS VEGAS RETURN

FULL BLOOM VEGAS SCENE MAINSTAY CROMM FALLON RELEASES HIS SOLO DEBUT Cromm Fallon’s dad, John Fallon, has been the lead guitarist and vocalist for psych-rock band The Steppes since the early 1980s, and father and son play together in Las Vegas band The Laissez Fairs. But when it comes to his own music, Cromm, 26, prefers to pave a distinct path, a product of his personal touchstones. “I didn’t hold back in terms of influences,” he says of the music that impacted solo debut Electric Bloom, due out May 17. “It’s a little bit of everything that I love, from my garage roots to power-pop to psychedelic, shoegaze and indie pop.” It’s true, Electric Bloom recalls

everything from freakbeat to jangly rock. Album opener “Second Bloom” would feel at home on a release by New Zealand label Flying Nun. But Cromm Fallon—former singer of The Astaires and the current frontman for The Van der Rohe—attributes these songs most to his late bandmate and friend, Aly Prudence, who encouraged him to start a solo project. Electric Bloom is dedicated to her memory. “She kick-started the idea that I should even be doing this in the first place. [And] she got me out of a writer’s slump that I was in.” Fallon will DJ May 17 at the Rainbow Zia to celebrate the album, available for pre-order at rumbarrecords.bandcamp.com A live rumbarrecords.bandcamp.com. release show is planned for June 7 at the Bunkhouse. –Leslie Ventura

It’s been nearly seven years since Spencer Krug played Las Vegas, and much has changed for the Canadian indie rocker and songwriting marvel in that time. He has reunited with his mates in Wolf Parade and, on the solo front, ditched his old Moonface moniker to begin releasing music under his own name. He’ll bring the latter project to the Bunkhouse on May 8, in the form of a piano concert sure to give you goose bumps. A few suggestions from his sprawling catalog to get you ready … “Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts”/“I’ll Believe in Anything” (Wolf Parade, Apologies to the Queen Mary, 2005) A footstomper and a spine-tickler, connected by the sweetest of segues. “All Fires” (Swan Lake, Beast Moans, 2006) Yearning personified. Random Spirit Lover (Sunset Rubdown, 2007) Yeah, you need to hear the whole album. It’s that good. “Marimba and Sh*tDrums” (Moonface, Dreamland EP, 2010) A 20-minute mini-epic, constructed from Krug’s haunting voice and the sparse, titular instrumentation. “Faraway Lightning” (Moonface with Siinai, Heartbreaking Bravery, 2012) Oh, the memories, of Krug beating on his chest during his 2012 Beauty Bar gig. “November 2011” (Moonface, Julia With Blue Jeans On, 2013) Just the man and his piano, in case you haven’t choked back a tear yet this week. “Minotaur Forgiving Knossos” (Moonface, This One’s for the Dancer & This One’s for the Dancer’s Bouquet, 2018) Whatever one thinks of Krug intertwining two diverse sessions—and going heavy on Auto-tune— for his latest LP, it’s stuffed with interesting ideas, at least. –Spencer Patterson

Seth Meyers takes a break from TV for a stand-up show in Las Vegas By Brock Radke

rom his writing and “Weekend Update” gigs on SNL to his current nonstop onslaught against the president on NBC’s Late Night, Seth Meyers has evolved into a performer who puts political parody center stage. But when he gets back to stand-up comedy, the boyish 45-year-old takes advantage of the varying opportunities to poke fun at his own experiences. And when he’s performing in Las Vegas—as he will this weekend at Wynn—it’s a chance to engage with a diverse audience. “I’ve always had good shows in Las Vegas, but I do think it’s true that when you go to most other cities, you feel like you’re performing for people from there, and in Vegas it’s for people from everywhere, so it takes a little bit longer to clock what kind of audience you have on any given night,” Meyers says. “But that makes it exciting, not just for comedians but all different kinds of performers. There’s always electricity in the room there.”

You just passed the five-year mark doing Late Night. Does working on that show have a different impact or influence on your stand-up than Saturday Night Live did? I think in both cases, stand-up is a way to talk about things that don’t really fit on SNL or Late Night, so it’s always been a good outlet to use to talk about family or more personal experiences or anything that feels out of place on network television. It hasn’t changed my experience, but doing Late Night did slow down the stand-up, because on SNL, you have the summers off. But after five years, I’m starting to find the freedom to go out a little more. I think people identify you more now for political comedy. Is that something you intended to do on Late Night, or is it a byproduct of the Trump era? In the first 18 months of our show, we were trying to figure out who we are and what we wanted to do. Then the election started, and that’s an 18-month journey as well these days. Our show developed into something that was reacting to politics. I think it all felt a little sped-up because of having someone like Trump in the mix, and we were honest about the fact that we thought he would be a short-time participant in the proceedings, and we were obviously proven very wrong. But in the chase of covering all the madness in the months leading up, the show became better at reacting to things quickly. Because he’s the president, we still have a lot to react to every day. How do you feel about the sentiment that we shouldn’t depend on comedians for news and analysis? I also don’t think people should get their news from comedians. I do think we’re not a bad second place to stop after you get the news. We try to provide some catharsis for people by laying it out honestly. Our whole purpose is to give it to you with as many jokes as possible, but I would think as a first source, you could do a lot better than getting your news from us. But you could also do a lot worse. (Laughs.) That’s true. You know what? I’ll take that.

THE STRIP

(Courtesy/Photo Illustration)

RUN TO THE LUXOR CIRQUE’S LATEST SHOW BRINGS A ROBERT RODRIGUEZ-PENNED VEGAS ADVENTURE TO THE SOUTH STRIP BY BROCK RADKE idn’t see that coming, did ya? Cirque du Soleil announced this week that its new show at the Luxor (replacing the 10-year run of Criss Angel’s Believe and Mindfreak shows, which ended last year) will be an action-packed, acrobat-free, immersive stunt-fest written by Robert Rodriguez and set in Las Vegas, and it sounds like the most dramatic move in the company’s 25-year history on the Strip. But is it? Cirque’s monumental success in Las Vegas tends to eclipse its long tradition of ambitious creativity. We’re all familiar with the marvels of Mystére at Treasure Island and O at Bellagio, which makes it hard to believe those beloved productions were ever considered risky endeavors. Since Cirque has become the Vegas standard, we’ve developed an appetite for something new and fresh, something different from what was originally different. “I’ve seen that, having been at Cirque for 18 years now,” says Daniel Lamarre, Cirque president and

CEO. “We did that with O and Zumanity and KÁ. The Beatles Love was also a huge departure; we forget that today, but it was. Every time we add a new show, it has a huge impact on the entire Cirque portfolio.” New Cirque shows in Las Vegas tend to reinvigorate audience interest in the Montreal-based company’s other productions, but R.U.N—set to open at the Luxor on October 24 with an official grand opening premiere planned for November 14—could open the door to a new chapter of live entertainment crafted by Cirque. Billed as a show with a fast-paced storyline, bold and rebellious characters and action movie-style stunt work, R.U.N is designed to appeal to a younger audience, but it also seems to be tailor-made for the Luxor, which is making some interesting changes in the lead-up to its new position as one of the closest Vegas resorts to the 65,000-seat domed stadium that will open next year to host the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. The addition of R.U.N “shows the direction of

where the property is going, and really the whole neighborhood with the Raiders right behind us,” says Luxor President Cliff Atkinson. “We have a little harmony going on here at the pyramid, and we like how complementary the show and the HyperX Esports Arena can be. I think there’s some overlap there, a similar target demographic.” R.U.N also subscribes to a new meta-narrative in Las Vegas entertainment and tourism, one that supposes visitors are interested in what lies beyond the Strip and sculpts the idea of an authentic Vegas. Lamarre says it was mandatory to set the show’s story in Las Vegas. “Most people come out for three days and remain on the Strip, and here in this show you will discover an overview of Vegas, including the desert,” he says. “It’s also about getting to people who may not be a natural showgoer, creating something they will want to come to because they’ll feel like they’re not attending a show but attending an experience.”

BLONDE AMBITION VEGAS NATIVE KATIE MARIE JONES FINDS HER PERFECT ROLE IN NCT’S LATEST PRODUCTION BY C. MOON REED e won’t call it typecasting. But Katie Marie Jones is pretty much the perfect person to play Elle Woods, the lead role in Nevada Conservatory Theatre’s upcoming production of Legally Blonde. Both have the same favorite color: pink. Both are attractive blondes. And both share a sense of warmth and optimism. “The character is so light, fun and bright, it’s hard not to smile when [I’m] onstage,” Jones says. “The role is so high-energy and so fun that it’s hard not to have joy when doing it.” The novel-turned-film-turned-musical tells the story of a stereotypical sorority girl (Elle) who follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School to win him back. Movie star Reese Witherspoon made the role famous. Jones is hoping to make it her own. “Because I’m a bubbly blonde and I try to keep things light, people don’t always take me seriously. There’s more than what you see to her and

me. People are very surprised when I start talking “Katie is a rock star,” Shunock says. “She is so to them—‘Oh, you aren’t stupid.’ That’s Elle, too.” passionate about everything she does.

REVOLUTIONARY PRIZEFIGHT CAN CANELO ALVAREZ HELP STREAMING SERVICE DAZN TOPPLE PAY-PER-VIEW? BY RAY BREWER racy Morgan laughs maniacally as the commercial ends, promising, “Bye bye, pay-per-view.” The comedian is a pitchman for DAZN (pronounced Da-Zone)—a sports streaming service determined to revolutionize the way boxing fans view marquee matches, many of which are staged in Las Vegas. Ordering a pay-per-view telecast through your cable provider— standard protocol since the 1980s, when Mike Tyson was flooring opponents in the early rounds—suddenly has competition. And it has the sport’s most notable fighter, Mexican heartthrob Saúl “Canelo” Alvarez, leading its push in the United States. On May 4 at T-Mobile Arena, Alvarez will fight Daniel Jacobs for the WBC and WBA middleweight titles—the second bout of Alvarez’s 11-fight, five-year, $365 million contract with DAZN. That new digital platform is “blowing up the fight game,” Morgan proclaims in the spot. “Stream over 100 fight nights a year without the pain of pay-per-view.” The service costs $19.99 a month or $99.99 per year, a significant bargain compared with pay-per-view prices that have ballooned as high as $100 for one fight card in recent years. Also of note: The fights on DAZN are archived. “Viewers won’t have a pay-per-view bill for a one-off event that is over,” says Joe Markowski, DAZN’s executive vice president in North America. “That moment will be transformational for us.” DAZN launched in 2016 in Austria, Germany, Japan and Switzerland, and will soon be available in 11 countries. DAZN owns the broadcasting rights for several sports, including Premier League soccer for the European audience and the NFL in Canada. In the U.S., the offerings are boxing, Bellator mixed martial arts (the sport’s No. 2 promotion behind UFC) and a Major League Baseball live look-in show, ChangeUp. The agreement with Bellator calls for seven exclusive-rights events each year. “We needed to sign the biggest names in the sports,” Markowski says. “You can’t shy away from that.”

LV W S P O R T S

Enter Alvarez. While DAZN doesn’t release viewership totals, Alvarez’s first fight in the arrangement—a third-round TKO win against no-name Rocky Fielding in New York City—appears to have been a hit. During the fight, the streaming service’s app was the No. 1 most downloaded at Apple’s app store. Alvarez’s deal could be considered risky for both parties. DAZN isn’t a known commodity in the U.S.—hence the heavy flood of commercials—and might not be a platform worthy of the sport’s most sought-after participant. Also, shelling out more than $30 million per fight might sound like a flimsy business model, but DAZN officials say it’s a calculated risk. The company was privy to pay-per-view receipts from Alvarez’s previous fights on HBO in gaining some knowledge of his revenue potential. Golden Boy Promotions, Alvarez’s promoter, also gave DAZN rights to his past fights—along with fights by promotion head Oscar De La Hoya—to be stored in the streaming service’s archives. “I am humbled to be selected to lead this new vision for the sport of boxing, which will without a doubt be for the benefit of the fans,” Alvarez said in a statement last fall when the deal was announced. He isn’t the only fighter of significance in the DAZN stable. British promotion Matchroom Boxing, which includes heavyweight Anthony Joshua, signed an eight-year, $1 billion contract with the service last year. That gives DAZN a formidable one-two punch, considering Joshua fought in front of a crowd of 80,000 at London’s Wembley Stadium in September. “We want to create those cultural moments when you have a lot of people talking,” Markowski says. HBO, after more than 40 years and some of boxing’s greatest events, got out of the fight game at the end of 2018, putting an end to Saturday nights with Jim Lampley on the call and Harold Lederman offering often-baffling ringside scores. And DAZN isn’t alone with plans to make a splash in boxing’s streaming market. ESPN, as part of its seven-year deal with Top Rank, will broadcast 54 total cards, with many airing on the ESPN Plus subscription service. Las Vegas-based Premier Boxing Champions, which features notables such as Adrien Broner, Deontay Wilder, Keith Thurman and Jarrett Hurd, has multiyear deals with Fox Sports and Showtime. “The pay-per-view model has reduced the audience,” Markowski says. “We are here to correct that.” May 4 in Las Vegas will mark the next step in the process. Boxing thrives when it’s on the radar of the general fan—like fights involving Tyson, De La Hoya or, most recently, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. That’s when the public is talking about and anticipating the fight. More important, it’s when you have a fight worthy of being talked about. That’s what Alvarez—and that $365 million contract—brings to DAZN, according to Markowski. “Canelo is a huge brand.”

Defending the undocumented

UNLV Immigration Clinic provides legal counsel to undocumented immigrants and children By Leslie Ventura

Weekly staff

s a professor of law and the director of the UNLV Immigration Clinic, Michael Kagan’s passions are twofold: make sure students get the education they need and make sure undocumented immigrants, primarily immigrant children, get a fair day in court. Kagan has kept watch over the expansion of the clinic the past few years, and while he calls its advocacy “a drop in the bucket,” he and UNLV law students are providing a service he talked about with the Weekly. ■ Tell me about the history of the clinic. The clinic is in its 16th year. It used to be quite small, so we would take a few very challenging immigration cases and give them to students. One of its first responsibilities was to be a teaching hospital for lawyers, and we also have law students who work on real-life cases. Our clinic began to change in 2014, when [we started] to provide lawyers to unaccompanied children. That brought two lawyers to our clinic and increased the number of cases we take. Since, we’ve been able to transform that into the Bernstein Childrens’ Rights Program, launch the university legal services program, and we have tried to fill needs that aren’t being met in the community in Southern Nevada.

■ Who works at the clinic? Most of them are third-year law students. Our goal is to make being in the clinic the pinnacle of their law school career because they are getting to apply every skill they’ve learned up to now. They get to see what immigrants in our own community go through as they try to stay here. I think it’s eye-opening. It’s inspiring for them but also very stressful.

■ Can you describe the kinds of cases the clinic takes on? We have young children—some of our clients can’t read yet—who are up against the federal government. The Department of Homeland Security is deploying police officers and lawyers to get them out of the country, and we’re one of the few places kids can go to in the state of Nevada to have someone help them in court. Most of these kids fled grotesque violence in Central America and are in a desperate fight to stay out of the hands of gangs who have threatened to kill or rape them. They have seen dead bodies or people who have been murdered—things that no child, no adult should have to witness. And the government wants them deported. So we do what we can to make sure that these kids get the fairest day in court possible, which is the least that I’d want for my own kids.

■ What is your success rate? ■ What are some of those needs? There’s a lack of legal services for immigrants in our city, especially for people facing deportation and those in detention. Our biggest interest in expanding right now is in detention cases. They are the people who have the most urgent need for legal defense, for someone to stand by them, but they’re also the people who have the hardest time getting it. Three-fourths of those detained by ICE do not have a lawyer.

We’ve been very successful in keeping many of them safe. [Another] big area where we want to increase our work is people who are detained by ICE. ICE nationwide is detaining many people who don’t have any criminal record, or any serious criminal record. Las Vegas has one of the largest undocumented populations of any city in the U.S., but what is really important to understand about undocumented people in Las Vegas is that most have lived here longer than me. Most undocumented residents have been here more than 10 years,

and our kids go to school together. We are now living in a situation where if someone who has lived here for 15 years, raised a family and the worst thing they’ve ever done in their lives is cross the border and they don’t have enough money to pay a speeding ticket, they can be turned over to ICE and their family torn apart. So we want to do more to defend people in detention, which means, first, to try to get them out of detention, let them be with their families while their cases are being resolved, and then to make the argument that can be made under the law for them to be able to stay in the country where they’ve been for so long.

■ What does the ICE situation look like here? In the Trump era, immigration has been on the front page virtually every day, but most of the

5 . 2 .1 9 LV W n e w s

attention is taken up by things going on at the border. We’re also the front line right here in Southern Nevada, but the battle for Las Vegas is going on in a far more quiet way. You don’t have a big operation that a TV crew can go out and film; it’s just one case at a time. Most of the people taken by ICE are taken to local jails on something minor like a speeding ticket.

■ How many deportation cases does ICE have open locally? ICE is starting between 200 and 300 new deportation cases every month. To put this in perspective, there was recently an ICE raid where they arrested about 280 people at a work site in Texas. That was on TV because it was something the TV crews could film. ICE in Las

Vegas does that every month, but it’s not on TV.

■ Why are the numbers high here? We have a very large immigrant population. Las Vegas is an immigrant city. People in Las Vegas are often blind to the numbers of immigrants that they’re meeting every day. I almost don’t like the word “immigrant” in this context because when we say “immigrant,” people think of someone who is going to be very foreign, but most immigrants have been here a long time. They are as native as anyone else. It’s because we have so many people come from other countries and because we have such a large population that is vulnerable and undefended that there’s a lot of immigration enforcement activity. ... If people don’t want their neighbors to be deported, if people don’t want the parents of their

kids’ friends to be taken away, then tell someone. That’s how our country is designed to work.

■ A flyer with racist speech was recently left on the Immigration Clinic’s door. How do you respond to something like that? The message that I want everyone to know, especially the person who put up those signs, is that we never stop working, and we work harder now. ... We should talk about how it happened on our campus. Those of us who do immigrant rights work try to defend our neighbors, and we occasionally get very threatening messages on social media. We should talk about those things, but in the context of “these [things] are happening in our society and the way to respond to it is to do more.”

Drink it in: Lights games offer international flavor

BY BRYAN HORWATH VEGAS INC STAFF

uring its two-year history in Las Vegas, the Lights FC United Soccer League franchise has made it a point to celebrate diversity. In fact, Brett Lashbrook says it’s part of the club’s business model. Lashbrook is the team’s brash young owner who uses “viva Lights” to sign off following conversations. “We’re trying to bring all cultures together,” Lashbrook said. “We have the non-Hispanic Henderson and Summerlin crowd right next to the Downtown millennials, next to the working-class Hispanics from North Las Vegas. I know that’s a generalization, but anyone who goes to our games knows that’s our mix.” During a Saturday-night match in April at Cashman Field, the Lights’ rainbow coalition was out in force, nearly 8,000 deep. From all age ranges, cultural and racial demographics and socioeconomic classes, fans came together to cheer Las Vegas to a 5-0 victory against Tacoma.

into the gringo market.” Not even Minor League Baseball—with its 256 teams—has reached beyond traditional American soda brands at its ballparks despite its surge of Latino players in recent decades, according to Jeff Lantz, senior communications director for MiLB. Lashbrook said the opportunity to sign Jarritos surfaced this season after the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority agreed to turn over operation of Cashman Field to the city upon the Aviators’ move to their new Summerlin stadium. Officially, the LVCVA relinquishes control of Cashman Field on May 10. “I don’t want to make this political, but I love the idea that we’re taking something from the Hispanic

Fans at Lights matches can also grab a michelada (a traditional Mexican alcoholic drink), a beer slushie or a non-THC Two Roots Brewing Co. cannabis beer. And before matches, attendees can spend time at the “Zappos Tailgate” outside Cashman Field, a pregame party that features games for kids, a live DJ and various food truck options that change for each game. The team also plans to brand its own “official Lights FC tortilla chip,” Lashbrook said. Being different, Lashbrook said, is in the Lights’ DNA. For example, the team uses a “hype” man, local radio personality Bojo Ackah, instead of a public address announcer. Walking the sidelines before kickoff the night the Lights beat Tacoma, Ackah asked fans if they were ready for a “soccer fiesta.” The soccer fiesta included the always-boisterous Supporters Section and a large-scale foam party on the sideline for kids. First-time Lights match attendee Miguel Hidalgo, a coach who brought along members of his youth girls soccer team, said it was a good atmosphere for soccer even though Cashman Field wasn’t initially made for it. Another first-timer, David Okashige, brought his young family with kids aged 6, 4 and 2. He said it likely wouldn’t be the last time they came out for a match. “When you come to Cashman Field, it’s a little slice of Mexico City, London and Barcelona,” Lashbrook said. “We have an international soccer feel and now we have some food and beverage choices that are really unique, but also representative of where our fan base is from.”

BEING DIFFERENT With soccer being an internationally popular sport, it’s not surprising that crowds in the U.S. and in Las Vegas are diverse. What is new, however, is that the Lights are trying to make their concession offerings diverse as well, recently signing a deal with Novamex, the company that bottles the popular Hispanic soft drink brand Jarritos. At Lights matches, fans won’t find Coca-Cola, Pepsi or Dr Pepper products, but they can purchase a Jarritos. “Coke, Pepsi and, to a lesser degree, Dr Pepper and 7Up, they have a stranglehold on venues in our country,” Lashbrook said. “A lot of that is because that’s the way it’s always been. Jarritos is incredibly big in Mexico and Central America. Novamex wants to get
