STORIES FROM LAST WEEK ACTION ON GUN CONTROL Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is summoning lawmakers back to the state Capitol to consider a package of gun control legislation, stating the May 31 mass shooting in Virginia Beach calls for “votes and laws, not thoughts and prayers.” Northam also said June 4 that he wants every state lawmaker to go on record for or against his proposals during the special session, rather than let leaders shield them from tough votes by killing them in subcommittees. LAS VEGAS BOWL UPGRADE Beginning in 2020, the Las Vegas Bowl will play host to a team from the Pac-12 Conference and one from either the Big Ten or SEC. It will also move from Sam Boyd Stadium to the new Las Vegas Stadium, which is expected to open next year. Mitsubishi Motors will sponsor the game, and the Las Vegas Bowl will move to a post-Christmas date for the first time, it was announced June 4. From the 2020 game through the 2025 game, the Las Vegas Bowl will get the No. 2 selection (after the College Football Playoff selection) from the Pac-12. CHESS PIECE COULD SELL FOR $1 MILLION A chess piece purchased for a few dollars by an antiques dealer in Scotland in 1964 has been identified as one of the 900-year-old Lewis Chessmen, among the greatest artifacts of the Viking era. Sotheby’s auction house said June 3 that the piece is expected to fetch between $760,000 and $1.26 million at an auction next month. The Lewis Chessmen are intricate, expressive chess pieces in the form of Norse warriors, carved from walrus ivory during the 12th century.

END OF THE ROAD FOR LAS VEGAN WHO DOMINATED ‘JEOPARDY!’
Demolition of the downtown Henderson Convention Center began June 3. The Las Vegas Golden Knights are converting the site into an NHL ice facility. Tentatively called Vegas Golden Knights at Henderson, it’s set to open in July 2020. While City National Arena will remain the team’s practice venue, the new facility will host youth hockey programs similar to those at the Summerlin facility. “It’s a great opportunity for families not to have to make the trek out to Summerlin and gives them something in their backyard,” Knights defenseman Deryk Engelland said. “It’s going to help grow the area, the community.” The Golden Knights estimate 30 percent of those participating in their youth programs are from Henderson, and the figure could be higher if not for the cross-valley commute. “How many kids were over here who didn’t get the opportunity to play because of that issue with trying to get to Summerlin from here?” team President Kerry Bubolz said. The new facility will include two NHL-sized rinks, along with a restaurant overlooking the ice. It will host watch parties for Golden Knights games, as well as player and executive appearances. Beyond that, there are talks of getting players on the ice for development camp and rookie showcases, Bubolz said. For the Golden Knights, the expansion into Henderson is a continuation of the team’s objective to reach all of Southern Nevada. Next, they plan to “start to look beyond the Valley to see what’s next,” Bubolz said. “We really believe there’s enough demand for the game to build more facilities.” –Justin Emerson
EL DORADO CANTINA OPENING SECOND LOCATION El Dorado Cantina’s second site is expected to open late this summer at Tivoli Village on the Valley’s west side, according to a news release. “We’re so excited to have our second location in Tivoli Village and offer the residents and nearby businesses our great guest service and generous portions of our sustainably sourced authentic Mexican cuisine,” said Paco Cortes, the restaurant’s chef. The 6,200-squarefoot restaurant will have room for nearly 240 guests and include patio seating. El Dorado Cantina’s existing location, at 3025 Sammy Davis Jr. Drive, is open around the clock, is. The new restaurant will have the same ownership, an investment group led by Larry Rudolph. The restaurant touts itself as one of the few Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas to offer food made with organic, nonGMO ingredients. –Bryan Horwath
Emma Boettcher, a 27-year-old librarian from Chicago, beat James Holzhauer at his own game. In an episode of Jeopardy! that aired June 3, Boettcher earned $46,801 to unseat the professional sports bettor from Las Vegas. Holzhauer had captivated the nation by winning 32 consecutive games and amassed $2.46 million to come within striking distance of Ken Jennings’ record of $2.52 million in 74 games. In the end, Holzhauer’s own perfect game—he answered 26 questions correctly with no wrong answers, while Boettcher was 22-for-22— Baseball in Downtown Summerlin appears to be a hit, as the Las Vegas Aviators are leading all Triple-A franchises in was not enough to defeat attendance through the initial 28 games at the new Las Vegas Ballpark.

an you smell the sunscreen and chlorine? After an oddly chilly spring, pool season is finally here. As the sun warms our skin and turns every metal surface molten hot, it’s time to find a desert oasis. But how and where? We know that every casino resort has a rad pool, but which ones accept locals? Which water parks are worth visiting? Where are the hippest pool clubs? What are the best outdoor community pools and kid-friendly splash pads? What do you order while you’re lazing at the pool club cabana? And, if you prefer to swim at home, what’s the future of backyard pool construction? In the Weekly’s official pool guide, we answer all these questions and more so you can get your swim on. –C. Moon Reed

KAOS The newest addition to the city’s nightlife and dayclub scene, KAOS is betting you’ll bring a posse of partiers with you, thus the 20-bottle Champagne spray on offer. There’s no shortage of spirits here, including a private Champagne vault, featuring white glove service with a butler. But one does not live on liquor alone, and KAOS’ party platters, designed to serve 10 people, heed the call of hunger. Selections include sliders, a fruit platter with cold-pressed juices, and a meze platter intimidatingly called the Coliseum. But the showstopper is the $1,000 Sushiyacht, an edible configuration of maki and summer rolls, nigiri, sashimi, ceviche and poke, courtesy of Bobby Flay’s Shark. Palms, 702-953-7665, palms.com/kaos.

There’s nothing more decadent than lying by a pool, soaking in the summer rays. Whether you’re at a dayclub or a resort pool, one thing you can expect is a well-thought-out menu that you won’t find anywhere else on property. Because in this town, food takes precedence over everything, even your tan. Here’s a small sampling:

Aria The eats mid-Strip are no less exciting, and while Aria doesn’t boast a multipage menu of speciality cocktails, the bites at its three ellipse-shaped pools offer something for all palates. Check out the matcha noodle salad—soba served with julienned vegetables and a white miso dressing—or the Aria grass-fed burger and wagyu beef hot dog. Smoothies are available for those seeking healthy options, and there’s ice cream for those who are not. 877-347-2742, aria.mgmresorts.com. The Linq Influence, the adults-only pool with a bird’s-eye view of the High Roller, recently rolled out Sunday brunch at its restaurant, the Taco Spot. In addition to house-pressed juices and a Latininfluenced menu, there are specialty doughnuts, avocado toast and croissant sandwiches. Bottomless Bloody Marys, micheladas and mimosas are also available, and for those looking for something lighter, a new skinny cocktail menu just debuted. 702-835-5713, caesars.com/linq.

NoMad Pool With chef Daniel Humm at the helm of the boutique hotel’s culinary program, NoMad’s pool menu is reason enough to visit the Strip oasis inspired by the Majorelle Gardens of Morocco. Standout items include the fava bean hummus, a Moroccan quinoa bowl and a lobster roll with crème fraîche and apple on a toasted brioche. Come back Friday through Sunday for the JEMAA pool party and enjoy a different food menu and an impressive beverage program that includes Cocktail Explosions (billed as a party on tap meant for 15 people) and a whole bottle of cocktail served in a booze purse. Park MGM, 702-7306784, nomadlasvegas.com.
The Wynn Not as raucous as a dayclub, Wynn’s pool is for those looking to relax while tanning. The menu leans toward fare that feels good going down, including an Asian chicken salad, veggies and dips, and Baja snapper fish tacos. The pool’s drink specialties are on the refreshing side and served in receptacles the way nature intended: The Watermelon Fresca, with basil-infused tequila, is served in a Bambino watermelon, while the Paradise Punch, with Mount Gay Eclipse rum, is served in a pineapple. 702-770-7000, wynnlasvegas.com. Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Casino If Summerlin or Henderson is more your jam, Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Casino both have excellent pool menus. Breakfast selections, sandwiches, tacos, salads and wraps are covered, along with lighter fare such as poke and a fresh fruit plate. Both locations also serve the meatless Impossible Burger, served with the fixings and a vegan burger sauce. The beverage list is extensive, featuring bubbles, wine and cocktail coolers, perfect for sipping in the sun.

By Brock Radke n PLAYBOY FRIDAYS Tao Beach at the Venetian is already one of the more intimate and sexy dayclubs on the Strip. The Playboy magazine-branded Friday party, typically soundtracked by a female DJ like local faves Kay the Riot and DJ Kittie, is hotness amplified. 702-388-8588 n NIGHTSWIM Wynn Nightlife’s seminal nighttime pool parties include weekly bashes at XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club at Encore resort. Nightswim started as a Sunday night industry-oriented event but became too popular to contain to one night, partially because the DJ and artist lineup pushed the party into overdrive. After this week’s ninth-anniversary party for EBC, Nightswim continues this month with visits from Salvatore Ganacci, Diplo, Galantis, Steve Angello and Shaquille O’Neal. 702-770-7300
n SOAK SUNDAYS The Palms’ megaclub is still the new kid on the party block, and it’s taking extra measures to make a monstrous impact, like this new Sunday night swim party. KAOS is truly impressive when its sprawling dayspace is activated at night. June headliners include Slushii and Skrillex. 702-953-7665 n JEMAA The luxurious, new NoMad pool party at Park MGM is setting a new standard with a summery event that focuses as much on food and beverage as the music and atmosphere. 702-730-6784 n #DAYBEATS The Flamingo’s friendly Go Pool, conveniently situated with its own entrance near the classic resort’s valet, goes big every Saturday with drink specials, DJ Eric Forbes and special guest artists like Ashanti, Vanilla Ice and Bow Wow. 702-697-2888

BY BRYAN HORWATH Homeowners in the Las Vegas Valley who can afford it probably have a pool. That’s according to Tom Blanchard, managing partner of Orange Realty Group and the president-elect of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. “This is the desert, and pools are a great luxury item to have,” Blanchard said. “I have not heard anyone tell me, ‘You know, Tom, I would love a pool in my backyard, but I’d rather not put one in and just sweat out there with a hose and the sprinklers on.’ ” Ranny McKee, owner of a local high-end homebuilding company called Elegant Homes, agrees that desire for the backyard pool is likely here to stay. What people look for in a pool, however, has changed. “People used to want a lot of rock work with fire coming out of the rocks and water,” McKee said. “I think around 2005 or so that started to change. People tend to want more of a contemporary look and feel now. The trend started to change before the economy went south, and it has definitely stayed that way.” One big trend, McKee said, is a pool with a feature called a vanishing edge, where water flows over an edge—possibly on all sides—to give the appearance of a body of water with no boundary. It’s also called a negative edge pool. While it offers a unique backdrop and allows for great Instagram opportunities, a vanishing edge also can cause issues. “The big problem is the evaporation rate because water is spilling over the side,” McKee said. “Covers certainly help with that. I’m seeing more pool covers for that reason and for safety as well.” McKee said the topic of climate change and its effects on the Las Vegas Valley isn’t something that his customers bring up when discussing what type of pool they might want. And even though trends appear, consumer desires can be as unique and different as the individuals themselves. “Twenty years ago, you’d see that heavy-rock work and caves,” McKee said. “Now, people are starting to want water that goes all the way up to the level of the concrete [edge]. That option can be costly because we have to put a tank in the ground because the water has to go down about 3 inches before you can go swimming.” While there’s more talk of the scarcity of water and the importance of not wasting it, Blanchard doesn’t see the backyard pool going extinct. “Backyard pools are not going anywhere,” Blanchard said. “When boating or water recreation on the lake is banned, then we may start talking about whether the backyard pool should be banned as well. The home is the last bastion, and the right to enjoy that home, with or without a pool, is sacred.” Model Debbie St Pierre | Photograph by Wade Vandervort | Suit by Liquid Lace Swimwear

THE MAYOR OF
CASHMAN HOMETOWN PRODUCT THOMAS OLSEN ANCHORS THE LIGHTS IN NET BY JUSTIN EMERSON
homas Olsen stepped off the Cashman Field pitch after an early-season game and walked over to a crowd of more than 30 cheering friends and family who had come to watch him play. That’s when the Las Vegas Lights’ 24-year-old goalie realized the magnitude of being a hometown star. “I just took a moment,” he says. “I had a good game, and I felt good and just seeing them all was kind of a special moment for me. I’ve been blessed for the opportunity, because I don’t think a lot of people get the chance to do something like this.”
T
Las Vegas shaped Olsen long before he joined the Lights. He was born here, trained with the Las Vegas Premier club team and starred at Bishop Gorman High, where he won a state title as a senior. The Kellogg Zaher Sports Complex in Summerlin, which includes 11 soccer fields, is named after his cousin, Joe Zaher, who died in 2002. Olsen’s mother is a gaming executive, and his grandfather was an orthopedic surgeon at UNLV. “I don’t think it gets any more Las Vegas than that,” Olsen says. “That’s a good thing. That’s why it’s even more special to be playing here.” Olsen left Las Vegas five years ago to play college soccer at the University of San Diego, starting in 70 games over four years
before going in the third round of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft to the Colorado Rapids. When he didn’t make the team, he signed this past year to come home. Now he’s playing for the Lights in the United Soccer League, with his sights set on ultimately reaching the MLS. “It’s obviously a great situation that if I can play USL and be at home, I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Olsen says. “I can develop here, I can live here, my family can come to the games, all this stuff. I’m pretty happy right now.” The Lights are happy to have him, too. When the team began, owner Brett Lashbrook pledged to have at least one player with Las Vegas ties on the roster every year. Many applauded his efforts to bond with the community but assumed the local

MLS MISSION Olsen might not have to leave his hometown to realize his dream of playing in the MLS after all. Next week, the Las Vegas City Council will consider a proposal to convert the site where Cashman Field sits into a mixed-use development with an MLS stadium. The MLS has stated its intention to expand from a 24- to a 30-team league in the next few years, with 29 slots already filled. In May, MLS Commissioner Don Garber said Las Vegas would merit consideration for expansion.

would be the last guy on the bench and only play in blowouts. Even Lashbrook didn’t expect to land a player as skilled as Olsen. “He is the epitome of what we were looking for when we did the homegrownplayer initiative,” Lashbrook says. “He is the absolute perfect profile of the type of player that we’re looking for.” Olsen has already recorded six shutouts in 12 games this year, helping the team to a record of 4-5-3 and putting it in the thick of the Western Conference standings. “There’s a lot of quality in this country in the goalkeeping position,” Lights coach Eric Wynalda says. “He knows that, and he knows there’s a lot of pressure from the outside that if it isn’t good enough, that we will make a change, and we’ve never felt for one second that that was necessary.” He’s also the most marketable player on the team and is highly active in the community. He hopes he can be a role model for local children. “It doesn’t hurt that he looks like a movie star, and he’s probably going to be the mayor someday,” Wynalda says. “My daughter is the perfect example of that. She’s 14 years old, and she came to watch the team and said, ‘Dad, who’s that?’ You realize that he does have maybe an X-factor there.” Wynalda isn’t joking about Olsen becoming the mayor. The coach tells his goaltender that often, though Olsen usually laughs it off. Then again, he was a political science major at San Diego. “You know what,” Olsen says, grinning, “I’m not going to say he’s wrong. Politics was never out of the picture for sure. We’ll see.” It would be no surprise to see someone as quintessentially Las Vegas as Olsen serving the city one day, but for now, he’ll do it in net for the Lights.

The Burlesque Hall of Fame’s annual fundraising weekend is one of those things you have to experience to fully understand. I could explain it in layman’s terms, which I’ll do now for the sake of clarity: It’s a gathering of burlesque performers from all over the world, some of them performing in nightly, self-descriptive showcases—Movers, Shakers and Innovators, Titans of Tease, Icons & All-Stars—and others competing in the Tournament of Tease, the winner of which claims the title Miss Exotic World. (The current titleholder is Seattle’s INGA.) Those showcases are for the public; there are also attendee-only events like a photo safari, a bowling tournament and a legendary pool party. None of that describes how it feels, though. There’s a kind of hypnosis induced by all those swinging hips and twirling pasties; a giddiness that comes from being around so many glittering costumes and wild hairdos. (Burlesque folk call post-Weekender decompression “glitter crash.”) That intoxicated feeling is what makes you a burlesque fan. But you have to be there to catch it. Showcases 8 p.m., $75-$100 nightly. bhofweekend. com. –Geoff Carter

STEVE ANGELLO AND SEBASTIAN INGROSSO BRING ALL WE NEED TO XS
F
BY BROCK RADKE ew acts can generate a true frenzy among EDM fans the way Swedish House Mafia does. The progressive house music trio—Steve Angello, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso—came together 11 years ago, took the global dance music world by storm, split up in 2013 and continued performing and producing music individually (and occasionally in combination) until it was time to rejoin and create another frenzy. In March of last year, the German edition of DJ Mag confirmed (just 24 hours in advance) that Swedish House Mafia would play the final day of Miami’s Ultra Music Festival. The set was a monster, culminating in an audience sing-along to the influential supergroup’s megahits “Save the World” and “Don’t You Worry Child,” and the crowdpleasing reunion was just the beginning. Slowly, 2019 tour dates trickled out, beginning with last month’s three-show homecoming at Stockholm’s Tele2Arena that attracted 115,000 fans. With a 177-by-56-foot video screen and the three stars spinning from a suspended stage, the shows played like the group’s own private dance music festival, and Swedish House Mafia did it again May 18 at the openair Foro Sol in Mexico City. After Angello and Ingrosso perform together this weekend at XS, they’ll hook up with Axwell for Ultra Korea on June 9 in Seoul, South Korea. SHM’s upcoming tour dates include Tinderbox in Denmark on June 29, Ultra Europe in Croatia in July, a headlining finale slot at Tomorrowland and an August trip to the U.K.’s Creamfields festival. When Wynn Nightlife began announcing its 2019 residency roster in January, the first two names were Steve Angello—who has already played XS twice this year and takes the decks at Encore Beach Club on Friday—and Sebastian Ingrosso, sparking instant expectations that Axwell would snare his own residency and set the table for a Swedish House Mafia show in Las Vegas.
6 . 6 .1 9
C U LT U R E W E E K LY N I G H T S
That hasn’t happened, but all the buzz and fanfare surrounding the residencies and the group’s summer festival run has created even more excitement around these rare Strip gigs, especially Friday night’s uncommon team-up between Angello and Ingrosso. Axwell and Ingrosso have performed and recorded as a pair for five years but are on official hiatus for the SHM reunion; this different duo should provide a unique sonic party. Last year, Angello released his second studio album, Human—a record that showed his style sliding between upbeat dance tracks and more dramatic, emotional rhythms and melodies. Angello and Ingrosso released several singles together under various monikers between 2001 and 2005. Further amping up Friday’s show is the fact that it’s the fourth of 10 events at XS this year celebrating the megaclub’s 10th anniversary. DJ Snake, Kygo and David Guetta have performed at these special engagements so far this year, and they’ve all added their own memorable moments to the long list of classic shows at XS. And who knows? Maybe the third member of the Mafia will pop in. Anything can happen in Vegas.

Distill our hearts The spirits of Prohibition live on Underground at the Mob Museum
+
When bartender Riki Taiga hands you a cocktail in a miniature porcelain bathtub, you sip it. Then you Instagram it. The Bathtub Fizz ($14), as it’s called inside the Underground—the hidden speakeasy inside the Mob Museum paying homage to Prohibition—is Taiga’s modern take on the sloe gin fizz. “I realized we didn’t have a gin drink with egg whites in it, so it’s a twist on that classic,” he says. The refreshingly tart and creamy summer drink is made with gin, sloe gin, Aperol, sugar, lemon, egg whites, bitters and topped with crystallized basil. It’s a cheeky nod to the Prohibition-era distilling process, when bootleggers made illegal spirits at home in their bathtubs. The Ginger Jake ($10) is another modern remix. The original Ginger Jake was a highly potent over-the-counter medicine in the 1920s, and it was normal for the tonic to be as strong as 180 proof. Made with moonshine, ginger, lime, jalapeño and spices, the Underground’s version is similarly strong. For imbibers who like their drinks with a kick, this balanced cocktail is approachable but fiery, starting off sweet and then delivering a punch of heat before quickly simmering down. The cocktail list just keeps getting more creative at the Underground, which recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. The bar, which doubles as a moonshine and vodka distillery, celebrates National Moonshine Day on June 6 with specials on drinks and souvenir bottles, plus tastings and cocktail demonstrations. Can you think of a better way to commemorate the once-illicit spirit than in a speakeasy at the Mob Museum? We didn’t think so. –Leslie Ventura

SLY & ROBBIE At Reggae in the Desert with Mykal Rose, Don Carlos, Yellowman, Alborosie, Jesse Royal, K’Remma, ST1. June 8, doors at noon, $30. Clark County Government Center Amphitheater, reggaeinthedesert.com.
JAMAICAN ROYALTY PRODUCTION GIANTS SLY & ROBBIE POP IN TO HEADLINE REGGAE IN THE DESERT BY ANNIE ZALESKI uch like Madonna and Prince, no last names are needed when referring to the legendary Jamaican production duo and rhythm section of Sly & Robbie, aka drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare. The pair’s CV is eye-popping, and spans genres and eras. A few big names with whom they’ve worked: Mick Jagger, Joan Armatrading, No Doubt, Jimmy Cliff, Gilberto Gil, Joe Cocker, Sinéad O’Connor, Sting, Serge Gainsbourg and Michael Franti. Sly & Robbie also notably worked with Grace Jones on a trio of groundbreaking LPs: 1980’s Warm Leatherette (which featured a cover of the Normal song as the title track), 1981’s Nightclubbing and 1982’s Living My Life. “The Grace Jones stuff I think was the stuff that broke me and Robbie to the world,” Dunbar tells Las Vegas Weekly. “I mean, to where we are today—Grace Jones was definitely responsible for doing that. In England, when she did that song with us, she kind of put us into higher ground, because a lot of people were noticing us
M
[playing on] all three albums. And right after that we did the Bob Dylan album [1983’s Infidels], and that was a great album also, and we did some tracks for The Rolling Stones.” As of late, Sly & Robbie are also in the orbit of another classic rocker, Zak Starkey (aka Ringo Starr’s son) who is launching a reggae label, Trojan Jamaica. (That name is an homage to the legendary reggae label of the same name, Starkey told Rolling Stone: “Turned out nobody owned the rights to Trojan Records in the West Indies, so we got it and took it home.”) Dunbar—who, like Shakespeare, is a session musician on the label’s first compilation, Red, Gold, Green & Blue, which includes a stellar cover of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put a Spell on You”—is impressed by Starkey’s “energy” and “drive,” among other things. “He has this vision, you know?” Of course, Dunbar’s main collaborator remains Shakespeare, with whom he has worked since the 1970s. Decades later, the drummer is still impressed by his longtime foil’s ambition and
equanimity. “We take chances and go for it, and we’re always trying,” Dunbar says. “We never say who’s right or who’s wrong. With new songs, we’re invested. … He never gets angry. He’s always trying to find that sweet spot, so we can anchor the song that we’re working on.” Sly & Robbie have been touring frequently with Black Uhuru vocalist Mykal Rose in recent years, performing a set Dunbar says pretty much speaks for itself. “We’re just going to do what we do—play some music together for the people to enjoy themselves,” he says. When the group headlines Reggae in the Desert on June 8 at the Clark County Government Center Amphitheater, expect much of the same, Dunbar assures. “We’re going to play what [people] want to hear— just like Motown,” he says. “When you come see a Motown revue, you come to hear the Motown sound of the show. We’re going to come out [and] play an hour of Sly & Robbie. That’s what people are going to see when they come to see [us].”

To the unaccustomed ear, a lot of death metal blurs together. That’s ultimately an unfair criticism, however; nuances abound, making the genre as vibrant as any in underground music. Here are four recommended bands playing Las Vegas Deathfest XI. Blood Red Throne (June 7, midnight, Fremont Country Club) The early-1990s’ heaviness arms race has cropped back up in metal recently, after going away during the late ’90s and 2000s, when melody was more popular than brutality. That’s when these Norwegian headliners might have been the most extreme band in the world, bucking trends and unleashing a run of albums that included 2005 landmark Altered Genesis. Cognitive (June 7, 7 p.m., Backstage Bar & Billiards) Technicality is a primary focus for this young New Jersey band, which has shown dizzying levels of musicianship on three fulllength releases over the past five years. The slithering solos and surprising song structures on 2018’s Matricide alone are enough to spin heads. Kill Everything (June 8, 6:30 p.m., Fremont Country Club) Hardcore and death metal fans can have a contentious relationship, weird given the presence of bands like this murder-obsessed Dallas quartet. With their chunky chugs and pummeling breakdowns, Kill Everything could fit just as well at a modern hardcore fest. Amputated Genitals (June 8, 6 p.m., Backstage Bar & Billiards) It’s important to remember that not all death metal bands are super-serious. The Bogotá, Colombia-based group goes over the top to the point of parody on tracks like “My Father in Law Who Defecated Himself to Death” and “Abominable Thirst to Drink His Blood and Eat His Flesh.” –Case Keefer

THE STRIP
Ariana Savalas, center, of Postmodern Jukebox. (Courtesy)
Sparking a new nightlife Live music and innovative entertainment in nightclubs? More, please ostmodern Jukebox is a perfect fit for the Las Vegas Strip. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a musical collective and a successful touring show created by musician Scott Bradlee in 2011. It’s explained with the taglines “New music, old style,” or “Pop music in a time machine.” It has amassed more than 1 billion YouTube views thanks to stylized covers of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” and Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” performed via throwback genres: swing, Motown, ragtime, doo-wop and more. (You might want to check out the 1930s jazz version of “Careless the Whisper” with Dave Koz on sax. incidental Maybe.) It’s fun and feels easy. tourist Widespread appeal doesn’t get by brock radke much wider. PMJ played eight shows at the Mirage’s Terry Fator Theatre in November and then returned in April for something different, the resident show Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox Hideaway in the resort’s nightclub, 1 OAK. Considering crooner Matt Goss has been doing his cabaret-
P
meets-lounge thing at the club since December 2017, putting another live-music production in this 16,000-square-foot, open-format nightclub isn’t a huge surprise, but it could be a significant development in a burgeoning trend. Hideaway is booked Tuesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. into August, but if it performs well—and since the band and singers are crazytalented and the song selection and arrangements are bright, funny and sexy, it deserves a longer run—it could continue at 1 OAK while the club keeps clubbing at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Wouldn’t it be great if other forms of entertainment could permeate the Strip’s many fantastic nightclub spaces? Most of them only come to life for private events outside of those late-night weekend operations. Wynn closed the glamorous Intrigue Nightclub just this week in order to use it as a private event space, no surprise considering XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club—two of the most dominant party places in the country—are essentially on the same property. Imagine the beautifully wild potential of a company like Spiegelworld creating a show for the Intrigue space.
We’re not necessarily talking about live performance instead of DJs at Vegas nightclubs, something that’s already happening at Drai’s and KAOS and several other spots. Contrary to posts from club haters and Vegas Twitter trolls, DJs and dance music in nightclubs and dayclubs aren’t going anywhere. But if these venues could fortify their offerings with more diverse programming, it’s a win-win. And it’s probably going to happen next at Bellagio, which, like the Mirage, is run by MGM Resorts International. Hyde, a hybrid of lounge and nightclub overlooking the Bellagio’s fountains, will close on July 6 to transform into a new concept this winter. Before it became Hyde in 2011, this was the Fontana, a classic casino refuge for live entertainment. Over by the sportsbook sits the empty, unused nightspace formerly known as the Bank, and before that, the original Light. It shuttered on June 3, 2018. And Bellagio is already in the process of revamping its two signature lounges: The Baccarat Bar closed last week and will reopen in early fall, and the Petrossian Lounge will close on August 26 and reopen in early December. That’s quite a bit of space for an entertainmentoriented company to reimagine what a Vegas nightclub can, or should, be.

Miss Behave in the wild (Miranda Alam/Special to the Weekly)
‘I’M NORMAL HERE’ WHAT INSPIRES MISS BEHAVE GAMESHOW CREATOR AND STAR AMY SAUNDERS? BY GEOFF CARTER he Miss Behave Gameshow, now playing in the Back Room at Bally’s (where you must see it; don’t sleep on this one), has traveled extensively to get here, slaying audiences in Melbourne, London, Edinburgh and beyond. It’s little wonder that creator and star Amy Saunders—a fast-talking, hyperliterate, thoroughly entertaining performer who can win even the toughest audience through sheer personality—has a range of creative influences that spans continents. She shared a few of them with the Weekly.
T
What was the biggest influence on the creation of The Miss Behave Gameshow? I’ve got a couple. There’s a Radio 4 show that’s been running for over 40 years now, called I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. It was put together by two ridiculous, silly, irreverent anarchists, and it is just a lampoon of everything. It’s silly, it doesn’t mean anything, it’s funny, it’s absurd.
And there was also a legendary, sadly now retired guy called Woody Bop Muddy. Woody Bop Muddy’s Record Graveyard was a late-night cabaret act that played for 30 years, I think. He’d come onstage with a record player, looking like a sort of anarchic idiot, and he would play records. If the audience liked the record, he’d save it and rub it on a picture of kittens. If the audience didn’t like it, he would throw the record in the air and smash it with his golden hammer. … He was my favorite, favorite thing ever. I’ve watched him crash and burn. He has died on his ass in front of a bunch of middle-class people, and he is my absolute hero. How has bringing your show to Vegas changed it? The real adjustment here has been the wider audience you need to bring onboard. … I am genderconfusing. [My co-host] Tiffany is a gay boy who I’m calling a “she,” and that’s a lot for a wide audience to take onboard, so it’s like, “No judgment from us.
We’re going to win you over. … Ultimately the message of ‘yay kindness’ will win you.” What’s the weirdest thing about Vegas that you actually appreciate? That I’m normal here. This really is the only place in the world that has been designed purely for my sort of people to work here. Everything about this town is hospitality. I consider myself in hospitality; I don’t consider myself an artist, or a performer. I think I’m in hospitality. I facilitate other people’s good times. So does the cleaner, so does the croupier, so does the barman. And here, that’s what this entire city is comprised of. I love the fact there is this saying, “It’s my Friday.” I can say that to anyone working here, you know, and I’m normal. I’ve got the equivalent of a 9-to-5. That’s actually crazy.

6 . 6 .1 9 Noel Calizo at Spckrft (Steve Marcus/Staff)
Scene
First Krush HOW Noel Calizo WENT FROM PARTY PHOTOGRAPHER TO SPCKRFT PILOT By Leslie Ventura hough he’s climbing his way through the film industry these days, Noel Calizo has been an integral part of Las Vegas’ indie scene for more than a decade. Born in the Philippines and raised in Hawaii, Calizo was 18 when he visited family in Las Vegas and decided he wasn’t going home. “I always felt like I needed to be in the city where everything was happening,” he says. Two decades later, that decision proved to be possibly the best of his life. In the early ’00s, Calizo launched Indie Krush, a Myspace-era culture blog that hosted dance parties in the style of LA’s Cobrasnake. Calizo jumped behind the camera and took party pics, and legions of 20-something hipsters glommed on to the preInstagram rush of finding your photos on the internet the next morning. “I was the worst photographer ever,” Calizo laughs. “[But people] didn’t care about the
T
quality of the photo. It was more about what was captured in that moment with their friends.” Around the same time, Calizo was running sound at Downtown venues like the Bunkhouse and Beauty Bar, amassing a comprehensive audio/visual skill set. After working as a production assistant for former UNLV film student Maggie Leon, Calizo picked up more work, eventually landing a gig as a second assistant director for the National Geographic channel show Brain Games. “I just observed everything and everyone and figured out how to help as much as possible,” he says. “People started hiring me more and more, and eventually someone wanted me in the art department.” And that’s where Calizo found his stride. Now, he works as a freelance production designer, art director and prop designer. He recently worked on Hell’s Kitchen, and was a prop master for the
Focus Features film The Mustang, which recently premiered at Sundance. “Considering I’m just getting out of my sixth year in the industry, it feels pretty good,” Calizo says. Last year, he launched SPCKRFT, a multiuse studio in the Arts District that has become a creative hive for a number of local, community-driven ventures. “I wanted a place where I could build sets, do photography and play music—it was kind of like my little cave. But I was working so much I never got to use it, so I just let my friends use it.” SPCKRFT was recently awarded $1,000 from Meow Wolf’s DIY Fund, and Calizo just partnered with Mojave Studios for an expansion. Going forward, he says, the possibilities are endless. “There’s got to be an energy that I feel is good,” Calizo says. “That’s what I want to find—people that take nothing and create something really cool out of it. Eventually, something amazing is going to happen.”

UNDERSTANDING THE 8 DIFFERENT HUNGERS BY MEREDITH S. JENSEN | SPECIAL TO THE WEEKLY
an you recall what you ate for your most recent meal? Not just the dish, but how consuming it affected your senses? What flavors did you taste? What smells did you savor? How was your food presented? Was there anything tactile about your meal? Did you hear anything? A crunch? A slurp? How did it make you feel, physically and emotionally? Sorry, did we just make you hungry? Not surprisingly, your body may not actually be hungry. For better or worse, it’s just your physical senses tricking your body and mind into desiring food. One way to be more mindful of our food consumption is to recognize the source of our hunger in a given moment.
C
What is hunger? Hunger is a craving for something you don’t have, whether that is physical or emotional. When our bodies are in a food deficit, our brain reads changes in the levels of hormones and nutrients in the blood and makes us feel discomfort in our bellies, become weak, lose cognitive acuity and more. For the body to function efficiently, it needs calories, protein, fiber and vitamins, just as a vehicle needs oil, gasoline, windshield wiper fluid and other substances to function at its peak. Physical hunger symptoms are easy to recognize, but conceptually, hunger also fuels other desires that are not related to food. Emotional hungers can include basic needs such as purpose, autonomy, safety, love, creativity, community and play. When these emotional hungers are confused with physical hunger responses, it can drive us to eat even if we don’t need to.
EYE HUNGER
This kind of hunger is triggered when you feast with your eyes first. The sight of food triggers the brain to want to consume the food because it doesn’t know when you’ll eat next. Eye hunger can often drive an individual to eat more than they need and override other signals from the body telling you to stop. This leads to mindless eating and overeating. •Try to satisfy this hunger by feasting with your eyes on something else, such as art or nature.
CELLULAR HUNGER
This type of hunger doesn’t exist simply in the stomach, but throughout the whole body. It’s that feeling of “I just need to eat a vegetable” after you’ve spent days eating nothing but cold pizza and coffee. Thirst also falls into this category. •Try to satisfy this hunger by eating foods that will match your body’s nutrient needs. As you practice mindful eating, you’ll be more able to figure out what those precise needs are. If you are thirsty, drink water. Avoid caffeine, sugary juice or soda and stick with water.
STOMACH HUNGER
The most obvious hunger, this is our body’s request for food. We’ve trained our stomachs to expect food at a certain time, so sometimes the hunger you are feeling is a general response to time. Ask yourself if it’s your brain telling you to eat at noon, or your stomach telling you it needs nourishment. •Try to satisfy this hunger by eating a wellbalanced meal or snack. Foods high in protein and fiber will make you feel fuller longer.

MIND HUNGER
The Eight Hungers Dr. Jan Chozen Bays of the Center for Mindful Eating has identified eight types of hunger to consider as you learn to eat more mindfully. “We delight in our food,” she writes in her book Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship With Food. “It calls to us through our senses, our eyes, our sensitive nose, our watering mouth, our longing heart.”
Mind hunger is based on thought, influenced by other senses including sight and hearing. Often times, people eat because they are bored. Additionally, instead of listening to the body, we often listen to the mind to tell us what the rules for eating are, what we should and should not eat, which diets are best and how we should categorize food. This kind of thinking when approaching food can lead to bargaining (“I’ve been working hard, I deserve a cheat day”) and bingeing. Anxiety and worry play major parts in mind hunger. When we feel unsettled, we may reach for food because we know we can control that aspect of our life in that moment. •Try to satisfy this hunger by reading a book or learning something new to feed the mind. Try working out or exploring nature to curb anxiety.
EAR HUNGER
The sizzle of bacon, the crinkle of a potato chip bag, the clink of cutlery on a plate—all of these sounds can activate the rumbling in our bellies. “Food technologists exploit ear hunger,” writes Vania Phitidis, an intuitive eating counselor, in The Huffington Post. “They spend a lot of time and money researching the exact crunch that eaters respond to, to make their food more appealing, so in turn, people will eat more of it.” Satisfy this hunger by listening to music and being mindful of the sounds around you.
NOSE HUNGER
Much of what we consider to be taste or flavor is actually the smell of food. This is why food tastes strange when you have a head cold. Our tongues can only taste five flavors—sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami/amino acid. By comparison, recent studies have shown the human nose can detect nearly 1 trillion odors, all of which have a powerful effect on our subconscious, triggering systems such as our memory and physical responses. Just as flowers emit scents to attract pollinators, grocery stores will even pump smells like baking bread throughout the store to attract customers and encourage hunger. After all, the hungrier you are (or the hungrier your brain convinces you that you are) the more groceries you may buy. •Satisfy this hunger by smelling something enjoyable that isn’t food.
MOUTH HUNGER
When we think of touch, we think of our hands, but our mouths are also big fans of things with different textures and temperatures. What your mouth deems pleasant or unpleasant can depend on several factors such as genetics, familial food habits, culture, conditioning, etc. Keep your mouth entertained with a variety of tastes, textures and temperatures. Branching out and trying new foods can help keep things diverse. A bored palate can easily become a mindless snacking palate as the mouth searches for something interesting to experience. •Try to satisfy this hunger by giving your mouth something else to do, such as chewing gum.
HEART HUNGER
This hunger is about a strong desire to be loved and cared for. This is the source of “eating our feelings” instead of finding fulfilling connection. For example, triggered memories can make you feel hungry for Grandma’s peach pie even if you aren’t truly hungry. You’re eating to distract yourself from recognizing or experiencing your feelings. Think about whether you eat certain foods to soothe specific feelings. Notice any patterns? •Try to satisfy this hunger by calling a friend or family member, snuggling a pet, etc. Even something as simple as having a conversation with someone at the library can make you feel connected and not so alone. Unfortunately, food can’t fill emptiness in your heart.

Mindfully satisfying hunger To determine if you’re truly physically hungry, Dr. Bays recommends taking intentional pauses when eating. Cultivate the intent of learning about (not judging) physical or emotional hunger. During the act of eating, be wholly aware. ■ Override your eye hunger by consciously using smaller plates, bowls and utensils, and by keeping serving dishes out of sight. ■ Choose a satisfying and balanced combination of foods to keep you fuller longer.
Before the first bite, ask yourself: 1. What kind of hunger do I have in the moment?
■ Put down your utensils between bites to interrupt the sense of touch.
2. What are distractions that may cause me to take my focus off the act of eating? (Example: Are you watching television when you eat? Scrolling on your phone?)
■ Check in with yourself. It takes the stomach 10 minutes to recognize fullness. Don’t feel guilty about leaving food on your plate or eating seconds if you need to.
3. Will food help my hunger? If so, what type?
What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is a Buddhist concept; it is the act of being present in the moment. To practice it, one must be fully aware and conscious of each experience, free of distraction and the flood of random thoughts. When applied to eating, mindfulness can encourage healthy habits by fostering awareness of what we are putting into our bodies and how it will be used. “Mindful eating teaches you how to eat using all of your senses. [It] is defined as deliberately paying attention, being fully aware of what is happening inside yourself—in your body, mind and heart—and outside yourself in your environment,” says Tracie Abram, health, nutrition and well-being educator for the Michigan State University Extension Office. “Mindfulness is awareness without judgment or criticism.” This approach to eating can begin at any stage in life. Seattle Children’s Hospital, one of the leading hospitals, foundations and research institutes in the nation, recommends using an approach to mindful eating with children to help them develop healthier relationships with food as they grow into adulthood.
After eating, talk to your body. ■ How did the food physically make you feel? If eating french fries doesn’t make you feel full and well, consider alternatives.
Note: Talk with your doctor, nutritionist or registered dietitian when making changes to your diet. Not all bodies are the same. Remember the law of individual differences and do what is best for you.
■ Try to make a plan for your next meal—ideally in the next 3-4 hours—or for a nutritious snack. This will help cut down on mindless grazing.

HOW DO WE PLAN AND DESIGN FOR IT?
emperatures have risen in almost every city in the United States since 1970, but no metropolitan area is heating up as quickly as Las Vegas. That’s according to a report released in April by Climate Central, a nonprofit news organization that researches and reports on climate change. Las Vegas experienced a temperature increase of 5.76 degrees Fahrenheit from 1970 to 2018, a seemingly staggering statistic considering that average temperatures here are already relatively high. No other city came close to Vegas’ rate of warming, the report found; the second most rapidly warming city, El Paso, Texas, has warmed by 4.74 degrees since 1970. Unfortunately, similar to many U.S. cities built after the invention of cars, Las Vegas hasn’t historically been designed in a sustainable way, which has contributed to the region’s warming, says Ted Greenhalgh, an environmental studies professor at UNLV. Greenhalgh noted that as the Valley’s population has increased, growth has mostly shifted development outward, rather than into the region’s inner core. That urban sprawl has created a need for more paved roads. Along with cars releasing climate change-causing greenhouse gas emissions, asphalt roads absorb heat and create the urban heat island effect, whereby urbanized areas are hotter than less-developed places with natural landscaping. Buildings themselves, especially those that haven’t been planned with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind, also contribute to this effect. “As we continue to have our sprawl here in the Valley ... the temperatures in Las Vegas are going to continue to go up,” Greenhalgh said. In short, the dominance of cars, the region’s well-known propensity for sprawl, and climate change-influenced temperature increases across the Southwest are creating a trifecta of warming in the Las Vegas Valley. To keep the region as cool as possible, officials need to rethink the planning strategies—or lack thereof—that have shaped Southern Nevada since its explosive transformation in the 1940s and 1950s. “Las Vegas is warming up faster than any other [U.S.] city, so we have to do more,” said Steffen Lehmann, director of the School of Architecture at UNLV and co-director of the school’s Urban Futures Lab. “We have to do better in how to mitigate and adapt to climate change and be more resilient.”

Planning in the age of global warming Greenhalgh, whose latest research focuses on how communities can mitigate and adapt to climate change, says that despite being the most rapidly warming metropolitan area, Las Vegas does have some factors working to its advantage when it comes to climate change. The first is that it already has a hot, dry climate. Extreme heat kills every year in Southern Nevada, and the Southern Nevada Health District reported a spike in heat-related deaths in 2017. But some additional warming isn’t going to affect the average Las Vegan, Greenhalgh said. “As a desert, we’re supposed to be hot. We’re already in the upper range of where heat should be,” he explained. Additionally, while some U.S. cities and states are finding that certain crops can no longer grow as reliably or efficiently as average temperatures rise, Southern Nevada’s climate has never been conducive to waterintensive agriculture, Greenhalgh said. The region also isn’t projected to see a noticeable increase in extreme, intense storms, another common manifestation of climate change elsewhere in the U.S. Finally, because precipitation alone hasn’t been sufficient to support Las Vegas’ population for decades, the Valley has long been on the forefront of water conservation, Greenhalgh said. Planners and officials have also pushed solar energy for years, although we could harness the power of the sun here even more. That leaves rising temperatures as the primary concern for Las Vegas in the age of climate change, something Greenhalgh and Lehmann said can be offset by smart planning techniques. Planting native trees and plants throughout public spaces and using lighter-colored pavement are two known strategies for combatting urban heat and cooling down public spaces. “We need native trees. We need to bring them back. We cut them all down,” Lehmann said. From a broader perspective, rather than building “out,” municipal and county officials need to encourage greater density in existing urban and suburban parts of the Valley. “We cannot afford one-story buildings anymore,” Lehmann said. “In the past, maybe one family lived on a site. Now the same site [might] have four families.” Increasing the region’s housing density alone, however, won’t be enough to discourage driving, Lehmann said, because grocery stores, employment centers and more are still quite spread out. That’s why Lehmann advocates the creation of mixed-use “hubs” where people could work, play and live, reducing the need to drive long distances. Such hubs should be compact enough so that within each of them, people can get around on foot, bike or bus, something he said is unrealistic for the average Las Vegan now in the sprawling metropolitan area. “In Las Vegas, the distances are so huge,” he said. “You can’t tell people to cycle, to go by bicycle or to walk, and of course public transport is so poor, and the buses are infrequent.”

Tools to cool public and private space Just as the region could implement zoning and planning strategies in anticipation of higher average temperatures, so too could officials and builders look at specific architectural tools to cool down outdoor and indoor spaces. Most of these tools would also reduce carbon emissions and the overall environmental impacts of development. Dwayne Eshenbaugh, principal at Novus Architecture and president of Las Vegas’ chapter of the American Institute of Architects, said architects and builders have a host of techniques at their disposal to address the effects of climate change. Some are simple and fundamental, such as constructing homes and buildings at a favorable orientation to the sun, so as not to absorb excessive sunlight. Other techniques are more advanced; for example, new software innovations allow architects to design protected openings such as windows away from direct solar gain. “The software that’s been developed absolutely gives us the ability to design smarter and to protect space,” Eshenbaugh said. Building materials make a difference, too. Certain shades of glass and roof materials can reflect, rather than absorb, sunlight, Eshenbaugh explained. Buildings can also be designed not to produce carbon emissions, or even to generate energy. Especially in a hot desert climate, builders should make use of green roofs or garden roofs, a natural way to cool down interior temperatures, Lehmann added. Given the abundance of planning and architectural tools available, the main barrier to climate-ready planning is a lack of will from planners, politicians and the public, Eshenbaugh and Lehmann suggested. “There’s another side to [this] coin, and that’s the side of the consumer, who doesn’t really care,” Eshenbaugh said. Most consumers are more concerned about the aesthetics of their homes and neighborhoods than whether they are designed efficiently for the warming desert climate. And developers looking to maximize profits from large subdivisions don’t always build with sustainability and climate resiliency in mind, especially if the public isn’t asking for it. But Eshenbaugh is hopeful that if manufacturers, architects, developers and planners commit to sustainable practices, preparing for a warmer Las Vegas—and a warmer world—that could become the norm. To a certain extent, it’s already happening. AIA, the largest organization of architects in the U.S. with 90,000-plus members, is adapting a resolution this month on climate change, Eshenbaugh said. The resolution declares an “urgent climate imperative for carbon reduction,” calls on architects to “achieve a zero carbon, equitable, resilient and healthy built environment,” and pledges that architects will enlist support from “peers, clients, policymakers and the public at large.” While Eshenbaugh suggested that producers are the ones who can influence climate planning, Lehmann noted that consumers in Las Vegas would also gain from climate-friendly planning in anticipation of a warmer region. After all, increasing walkability, transit access and green space have proven beneficial to local economies, as well as to people’s health and well-being. Nonetheless, redesigning a region built around cars and singlefamily homes would be no small task. “You can do this, but you’d have to be smart about how you make those plans. You’d have to really do a deep dive on the planning side,” Greenhalgh said.

Summerlin’s Tanager apartments garnering interest ahead of opening
F
BY BRYAN HORWATH VEGAS INC STAFF
or millennial Zac Zaher, convenience and community are important traits he looks for in a housing complex. A local commercial real estate broker, Zaher, 30, has no interest in owning a home at this point in life. He did, however, have a lot of interest in Tanager, a new luxury apartment complex in Downtown Summerlin. The 267-unit complex is set to welcome its first residents this summer. Zaher said he plans to move into a unit in July. “I wanted to live in an environment where I could walk to go get coffee, get dinner or get groceries,” Zaher said. “I know some people wonder why I wouldn’t buy a house, but that’s not what I want. I want to live in a community, and I’d rather pay the money for the quality of life I’m looking for.” Tanager—named for the classic Curtiss Model 54 aircraft—is the latest addition to Downtown Summerlin by the Howard Hughes Corporation, which welcomed the first residents to the master planned community in 1991. It’s the first Summerlin apartment complex designed solely by the corporation. Located a short walk from Las Vegas Ballpark, Tanager is a series of buildings that sit a few blocks east of the 215 Beltway at West Sahara and Pavilion Center Drive. As of mid-May, Danielle Bisterfeldt, Howard Hughes’ vice president of marketing, said the company had a list of more than 800 people who had expressed interest in possibly renting a unit. Howard Hughes just recently started leasing. Bisterfeldt said residents would represent many different age groups, but she didn’t shy away from the idea that Tanager is tailored to young professionals, some with young families. “This is new urbanism to a T,” Bisterfeldt said.
“From shopping to entertainment, you can walk anywhere in Downtown Summerlin from home. Millennials are coming out to the suburbs now.” The complex will feature one- and two-bedroom apartment options, with units ranging in price from $1,300 to $3,000 per month. The pricier apartments will be third-floor units, some offering views of the ballpark or the Las Vegas Strip. City National Arena, the practice home of the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team, is also just steps away. “For the true sports fan, you can walk over to Las Vegas Ballpark or City National Arena,” Bisterfeldt said. “You’ll be able to walk out of your apartment at Tanager
and hear the crack of the bat at the ballpark. There are professional athletes running around Downtown Summerlin all the time, and it’s fun to bump into one of them. The Golden Knights players live here, they’re ingrained in the community, and it’s the same with the Aviators.” Residents at Tanager will be able to take advantage of a resort-style pool, fitness center, pet park and clubhouse area. The final touches are expected to be placed on the last apartment building sometime in August. “The Downtown Summerlin location is especially appealing for a wide range of residents,” said Howard Hughes Corp.’s Summerlin president Kevin Orrock. “From young professionals to empty nesters and retirees, people are seeking a carefree and active lifestyle just steps from some of the best shopping, dining, entertainment and sports options in Southern Nevada.” The community is also attracting those from California, said Susy Vasquez, executive director of the nonprofit Nevada State Apartment Association. “Summerlin’s occupancy remains strong,” Vasquez said. “Many who initially relocate from other states, primarily California if you look at all the license plates in the area, are drawn to Summerlin for amenities and comparable lifestyle. Summerlin is also drawing many [Nevada] residents who are excited to see its growth.” Tanager, which is similar to the nearby Constellation apartments, will be managed by Pinnacle, a Texasbased company that oversees leasing for a national portfolio of apartment complexes. “People have been so interested in Downtown Summerlin and the prospect of living here,” Bisterfeldt said. “We’ve been hearing from residents across the Valley for years. We’ve been developing Summerlin for 30 years, so we take our time a little bit. We’re really excited about Tanager.”
