Hans Klok
Magician brings a world of illusions to Excalibur The last time 50-year-old Dutch illusionist Hans Klok was performing in Las Vegas, he was sawing Pamela Anderson in half at Planet Hollywood Resort. That was way back in 2007, and since then the artist sometimes referred to as “the David Copperfield of Europe” has been touring the world, selling out stadium shows with original themed productions and taking the stage at Europe’s most iconic venues. Klok has returned to the Strip with a custom-made experience, The World’s Fastest Magician, at the new Thunderland Showroom at the Excalibur, and he’s ready to add to his international legacy of magic with this next Vegas chapter. What made the timing right for your return to Las Vegas? I was doing a lot of stuff that was on the big to-do list, playing in Holland’s biggest theater and at the Peacock Theatre at the West End in London. For so long I had been traveling around and living out of a suitcase and thinking of a place I could stay awhile. We were doing a lot of one-nighters around Europe in big stadiums and arenas where you get only one day to arrive, build up the show, perform at night and then break it down and travel to the next city. I loved it, but it was time for something else, and Vegas, of course, was on top of that list. Your new Vegas home at the Thunderland Showroom is a much different venue than those big arenas. Absolutely and I prefer it. It is quite intimate and I love it because with magic, you really want to sit close and be mesmerized by what’s in front of your own eyes. In those arenas, so many people are following the action by the big video screens. It’s almost as if you could watch it at home on TV. If I see a magician I want to see close and see what’s going on because there’s always the feeling of trying to discover how it’s done.

What can we expect from this new World’s Fastest Magician show? For me, it’s the best of everything I ever did. It is a fast show and a lot of things are happening, one amazing illusion after the other. I’m doing the metamorphosis where I change into another person and, overall, it’s a very physical show. I’m doing a few classics that no one really performs anymore, like the floating light bulb created by Harry Blackstone. I saw him on the Strip when I was just a child, and when I met him, I still had to ask, “How did you do that?” So it’s always been a dream for me to perform that one. I suppose there’s a little history of magic to the show. One of your recent touring shows was House of Horror. Are any of those darker, scarier elements going to show up at Excalibur? There is a bit about dreams and how they’re not always happy and recognizing that we all have our own nightmares, but I know there will be a lot of children attending this show, so it’s not too scary. It’s a family show. Being from the Netherlands and having toured all over the
world, you probably have a different perspective on magic than American magicians and audiences. Do you consider Las Vegas to be the capital of magic? It’s absolutely the capital of magic. Las Vegas is the home of David Copperfield, who has been so great for magic in general and
now he’s had his residency for at least 15 years. Criss Angel is here doing very well. Vegas names like these are really ambassadors for the rest of the world of magic. It’s big in Europe too. Magic is international, but I think magic is a bit hot at the moment and the greatest magicians ever have always been in Las Vegas.

Around the Strip Brock Radke is an award-winning entertainment reporter who has been covering the city since 2000, and interviews key movers and shakers on his All The Vegas podcast, available at allthevegas.com.
Lots of Ways to Laugh You probably know versatile performer David Alan Grier best from his breakthrough role on the innovative 1990s sketch comedy show In Living Color, where he created and embodied so many memorable characters it’s hard to choose a favorite. But the Detroit born actor and comedian and graduate of the Yale School of Drama has appeared in a multitude of films and
TV shows, done voice work for animated programs and appeared on countless radio shows, and starred in Broadway musicals and dramas. One of his latest projects marks a return to TV comedy as a guest on the new A Black Lady Sketch Show on HBO—you can catch him live on one of the Strip’s newest stand-up stages Aug. 22-25 at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at The Linq Promenade.
Must-See The Beatles LOVE It might not seem like it, but the LOVE Theatre at The Mirage is the largest Cirque du Soleil space on the Las Vegas Strip, holding just over 2,000 people for twice-nightly shows of The Beatles LOVE. The high-definition video projections layered onto practically every surface in the room and the thousands of embedded speakers combine to create a truly immersive entertainment experience, but the real wonder is how the stage landscape evolves throughout the show to create vast colorful canvases for these artists to display their skills.

The Terry Bradshaw Show premiered at the Atrium Showroom at Luxor recently and Boxing Hall of Fame announcer Al Bernstein and cast members from Fantasy and Thunder From Down Under joined the famous footballer’s family members Tammy Bradshaw, Rachel Bradshaw, Lacey Hester and Noah Hester in supporting the show. After the first night, Terry Bradshaw had a surprise reunion backstage with Louisiana Tech teammate Clyde Harrison, who he hadn’t seen in more than 40 years, and the next night, Bradshaw’s actor pal Henry Winkler popped in to catch the action. Comedy and magic go together well. Martin Lawrence hit The Linq recently to check out Mat Franco: Magic Reinvented Nightly. The actor and funnyman has been working on another installment of the Bad Boys action film series. Superstar DJ and longtime Las Vegas club party-starter Tiësto celebrated his bachelor party at Park MGM’s On the Record, taking over the intimate venue with friends while DJ Mell Starr played “Boom” and the club’s dancers performed some choreographed moves to the Tiësto hit. The group hit one of the club’s karaoke rooms and kept the party going until the wee hours. Actor Alfonso Ribeiro hit the town and enjoyed the Hublot Chairman’s Suite at Topgolf Las Vegas with a group of friends. Ribeiro also hit Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer at The Venetian, where comedian and actor Pauly Shore was also spotted recently enjoying a Churro Choco Taco Crazyshake.

Restaurant sports Chinese cuisine, sophisticated style With a mix of elements designed to evoke the feel of a 1930s Shanghai supper club, China Tang, the restaurant at MGM Grand, charms you. It starts with the art deco-style décor and the art on the wall, and continues to a singer regaling you each hour and a noodle-pulling show five nights a week. This is the first location in the U.S., and with others in London and Hong Kong, the owners have had plenty of practice with exemplary service and attention to detail. Like many Chinese restaurants, the offerings are plentiful. You’ll find a cocktail menu that lives up to its Vegas environs. One of the specialties is the colorful Tiki Five Spice—rum, baijiu, lime and

pineapple juices, orgeat syrup bitters, Chinese five-spice and a bit of lime—which is then lit on fire with the help of an overproof rum! There’s also an extensive wine list, and an expert to help you choose what to pair with what. On the dim sum section of the menu are crab meat dumplings, which arrive delicately plated in a small steamer basket; nicely light vegetable spring rolls are enjoyed with sweet-and-sour and soy sauces. The barbecue pork appetizer comes tender and juicy, spiced with ginger, garlic and a signature sauce. You may choose to indulge in a bit of soup— hot and sour soup will both warm you up and
get you ready for entrées such as the wok-fried chicken tossed with dried red chilis and Sichuan peppercorns—these morsels are exceptionally tender and flavorful. The showstopper at China Tang might be hard to pinpoint, but the Hammer Chicken actually comes out in a shell, and is covered in wine, lit and hammered open right there. The chicken itself is baked for approximately five hours. Vegetarians can choose from dishes such as the braised tofu with mushrooms and bok choy and the sweet and sour vegetables, which are amazingly light. But whatever you decide, your palate will definitely be satisfied. –Nina King

Into the Indigo The bright blue faces of the stars of Blue Man Group have become as recognizable as Elvis Presley or Liberace in the pantheon of Las Vegas icons. Although the experimental, wordless theater production started in New York City in 1991, it was the expansion to Vegas in 2000 that really turned Blue Man Group into a pop-culture phenomenon. The show has performed in several showrooms in Las Vegas over the years, but
16 8.18.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
since 2015 has been back in its original Vegas home at Luxor, where the vision of creators Chris Wink, Matt Goldman and Phil Stanton is still the driving force. BMG’s acquisition by Cirque du Soleil in 2017 has the oddball brand poised for its most substantial expansion yet. The founding trio of Blue Men have long since passed the torch to other performers, but the nature of the BMG show means that anyone can embody the title characters,
deadpan pranksters who are a cross between silent comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton and avant-garde performance artists. The Blue Men explore the absurdity of modern life via multimedia content, audience participation, homemade instruments, live painting and a surprising amount of snack foods including Twinkies, all combined into a surreal but family-friendly show with a percussive soundtrack. –Josh Bell

Country King George Strait’s concerts are history lessons in the last three decades of excellence in Texas-to-Nashville songwriting, courtesy of an interpreter who personifies high-lonesome and honky-tonk authenticity. Strait started his country career picking out Hank Williams songs, developed his voice singing George Jones songs, and developed a taste for Western swing pioneer Bob Wills through his appreciation of Merle Haggard. He’s always had great stage presence, along with a voice that flowed like honeyflavored whiskey and a knack for making connections that would enhance his career later. And with 61 No. 1 hits across the spectrum of chart categories, more than any other performer, he’s the undisputed King of Country. But Strait to Vegas at T-Mobile Arena is more than just a residency—it’s a tribute to greatness in country music by one of its greatest troubadours who, while no longer on the road for a long time, still provides a good time when he’s here. –Matt Kelemen

Comedy impressionist Gordie Brown packs a staggering array of impressions into a show that’s so fast-paced you may have to go see it twice to catch what you missed. Brown delivers uncanny impersonations of Stevie Wonder, Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise, Elvis, Jack Nicholson, and even the voices of all three Bee Gees. But that doesn’t even scratch the surface of Brown’s show—Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Ozzy Osbourne are just a few more of the people you’ll “meet.” –Ken Miller Hooters, 7 p.m. Wed.-Thurs. & Sat.Mon., starting at $44.95 plus tax and fee. 866.574.6687

Coco Rose If you haven’t been to Alibi Ultra Lounge at Aria, you are truly missing out. In addition to stylized decor, the lounge serves up some of the most outsidethe-box cocktails imaginable. A good example is the Coco Rose, a libation that’s sure to be a hit with fans of breakfast cereal. A chocolatey take on the Old-Fashioned, Coco Rose is made with Cocoa Puff-infused Four Roses bourbon, dashes of chocolate bitters, Angostura bitters, and simple syrup. It’s a great introduction to what’s sure to become your new favorite lounge.
All Aboard the Hogwarts Express I hate to be mean, but if you don’t know who Harry Potter is you may have been living under a rock! However, Potted Potter really is a show for those that don’t know Harry (or what quidditch is for that matter) as well as avid fans who have read the whole series. It’s a comedy feast of all seven books acted out by two hilarious performers, Dan and Jeff, in 70 minutes. Watch in both amazement and bewilderment as they tackle multiple personalities—they each take on several different characters from the books, and the results will make your head spin
as you try to contain your belly laughs. If being a part of the parody seems like fun, then you’ll want to raise your hand real high during the scenes where they call on audience members to join them onstage for all the magical shenanigans. All in all, the quick wit, silly costumes, amusing props, droll songs and the actors’ parody of pop culture’s most memorable literature ever written is an experience to not to be missed. –Kiko Miyasato Bally’s, 2 & 8 p.m. Sat.-Sun. & Wed., 8 p.m. Mon.-Tues. & Fri., starting at $39.99 plus tax and fee. 702.777.2782
Defying Time Back in 1989, Cher squeezed herself into a barely there outfit and filmed a racy video for her hit song “If I Could Turn Back Time.” She was just a couple of months removed from her 43rd birthday. Today, Cher is 73, and she’s done the unimaginable: She’s actually turned back time—or, at the very least, flipped the bird to Father Time. The proof can be found in her Las Vegas residency Classic Cher, in which the icon of stage and screen wows fans with her remarkably fit phy-

sique and sky-high energy levels. Cher continues to belie her birth certificate with full-throttle performances, weaving in several rapid-fire costume changes that include glamorous headdresses that would topple most women 20 years her junior.

spotlight You’re about halfway through the tour—how’s it been going? It’s been going real well. Just the energy that we’ve been getting every night has been amazing. In some places where we’ve only been once or twice before and having these huge masses of people coming out and knowing all the words and singing along and being totally into it—it’s been awesome. It’s been a great tour so far. Tell me your favorite part and least favorite part about touring. Favorite part: obviously, getting to play in front of our fans every night, but I’m also a huge golfer. A big part of the tour for me is being able to travel all around and getting to play golf in different places. The worst part is being on a tour bus for that long with a bunch of dudes (laughs). Let’s talk about your new single, “Chill Out.” What’s the messaging behind it? It was inspired by a lot of things. In the political climate we’re in and the kind of gaslighting culture that’s been happening in politics and people getting demonized. It’s like the whole thing being about, basically, let’s just chill out and bring it back to accepting people for who they are and what they are and going back to those basic feelings as opposed to the confrontational, anti kinda thing that we’re in right now. I know the single seems more of a personal be yourself, self-help-type song, but it’s more directed to the political climate we’re in right now.

Ready to spread the vibes and feels with Iration Following the summer sun, alternative reggae band Iration is currently on its Live From Paradise Tour, and brings its irie sounds to the sands and surf at Mandalay Bay Beach on Aug. 24. Las Vegas Magazine’s Kiko Miyasato chatted with lead vocalist and guitarist Micah Pueschel. Recently, one of Iration’s tweets about the tour said, “Live from Paradise is not just
20 8.18.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
about the vibes. We’re also all about the feels.” Is there a difference between “vibes” and “feels”? I think “feels” is more about an emotional quotient, kind of like a direct feeling of the music, maybe—it’s the energy, the vibrations. And the “vibes” is kinda more subtle, not quite as physical. They’re similar. Feels are a little more palpable, vibes are a little more mystical.
The single has a different melody than the band’s previous work—it has a more downtempo, R&B, electro vibe. What was the musical inspiration behind the song? Whenever we make a record and we start writing new music we always try to go somewhere a little different and evolve slightly. What I’ve been personally listening to lately is a little more of that R&B, that more funky, jazzy kind of thing. Stuff like Steely Dan, Tom Misch, Leon Bridges, artists that are a little more on that R&B and funk tip—we’re just trying to incorporate that. We’ve added a horn section and some more musicians and we just want to play stuff that is fun to play and that is musically satisfying and musically interesting for us, and show the growth every time we make a record. We don’t ever want to be stuck in one genre; we like being diverse and eclectic musically—that’s our modus operandi. That’s who we are.

More Relevant Today Than Ever Singer-songwriter Jackson Browne may be known for his laid-back soft-rock sound (he’s a frequent collaborator with artists like the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt), but he’s been a social activist as long as he’s been a musician. Browne has been heavily involved in environmental, public health and foreign policy causes since the 1970s, from heading up a coalition of musicians against nuclear energy to singing about American intervention overseas. Even as he’s become a classic rock elder statesman (thanks to hits like “Doctor My Eyes,” “Running on Empty” and “Somebody’s Baby”), he’s remained politically outspoken, often lending his presence and music to benefits and rallies. Like a lot of rockers from his generation (including Vegas regulars John Fogerty and Carlos Santana), Browne has been embraced in Vegas, and his three-night stand at The Venetian could be a sign of more to come. Browne isn’t settling

into any late-career complacency, though. He recently combined songwriting and activism by recording the theme song for the AIDS documentary 5B, and he’s hard at work on material for a
new album. “I’m pretty opinionated, of course, so that comes out in everything I do,” he told Billboard last month, and that’s exactly what fans love about him. –Josh Bell

Play Another Hand Current bands looking to break through might want to study and emulate O.A.R. The indie rock band, whose name is short for Of A Revolution, consists of four high school friends and one pal from college, and they have had the same core lineup since 1996, specializing in roots rock, a genre that has both swelled and shrunk in the past two decades. The band built their relationship with enthusiastic audiences through raucous live performances, forgoing major label interest and instead becoming an inde-
pendent monster of touring. Songs like “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker” and “Black Rock” became such enthralling live set pieces that O.A.R. eventually sold out Madison Square Garden. That’s right, four dudes from Rockville, Md., and one pal from Youngstown, Ohio, sold out the most famous arena in the world, all without the support of a major label. Currently touring in support of ninth studio album, The Mighty, the mighty O.A.R. continues to tear things up their own way. –Jason Harris

Some comedians simply possess a timeless quality. No matter how many stages they’ve taken, the performance remains familiar, like listening to an old friend. This is what it’s like to catch George Wallace (Westgate, 800.745.3000). He’s still offering thoughtful observations on the absurdities that happen around us, but today Wallace has been around the world a few more times and has made all sorts of hilarious discoveries. And he’s ready to share them all. –Brock Radke
A Little Lighter Penn & Teller (Rio, 702.777.2782) have been performing their brand of magic and comedy for four decades now. It’s been historically consistent in its slightly dark tone, but the atmosphere feels different at current shows. For example, children of all ages are invited onstage for a bit that involves a pygmy elephant. But don’t fret—the show still peppers in some of the darker moments that the two magicians originally became famous for. –Matt Kelemen

Catch a Feeling B.J. Thomas is the performer behind catchy, breezy hits like “Hooked on a Feeling,” “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” and “I Just Can’t Help Believing” and “(Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song,” with a sound that combines soft rock, country twang and pop hooks, all in a pleasant, easily accessible format. Thomas’ hits have climbed the pop, adult contemporary, country and Christian charts, demonstrating the wide appeal of music that is, well, easy to listen to. Plenty of people could sing along to “Raindrops” without knowing who Thomas is, and that goes for the rest of his hits, which are frequently (and successfully) covered by other artists. His affable, appealing presence made him the perfect person to sing “As Long as We Got Each Other,” the infectious theme song to ’80s family sitcom Growing Pains. Like a vintage sitcom, Thomas’ music is both comforting and familiar. –Josh Bell

On the grounds of the newly remodeled Thunderbird Boutique Hotel & Lounge is a real hidden gem, the Tree of Love Chapel. Bathed in florals and heavenly white décor, the gem of the chapel is the living tree rooted at the alter. When remodeling the grounds, the owners wanted to keep the almost 100-year-old tree in its place, so they built the chapel around it, and now you can say your “I do’s” in one of the coolest spots in Vegas. And it’s not just Thunderbird’s new chapel— the whole hotel grounds offers a cool, Palm Springs-meets-Las Vegas escape, located near the eclectic Arts District and flourishing downtown scene. The 100-room boutique property offers an intimate pool area, and a spacious one-bedroom pool suite that overlooks all the action. There’s also a new lounge and entertainment space with a full menu of eats and drinks. Delicious food items include a filling “hangover” breakfast burrito; huge, fluffy pancakes; steak and eggs; pork belly sliders; flatbreads; a veggie burger; a shrimp po’boy and a seriously delicious dessert—a made-in-house brownie topped with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream. Classic cocktails include the Hemingway daiquiri, Moscow Mule and Rum Runner. In the lounge, there are also beer pong and pool tables, plus bar-top gaming, as well as a stage for live musical performances. Connected to the lounge is a spacious outdoor patio with views of the all action on the boulevard. –KM 1215 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.489.7500

Lounge offers great views, booze and food Believe it or not, Las Vegas has some of the most amazing sunsets—like “ooh-and-aah” sunsets. To catch all the end-of-the-day glory, take a trip more than 100 floors up to 107 SkyLounge, The Strat’s acclaimed bar and lounge that sits near the top of the property’s famed 1,149-foot tower. 107 SkyLounge is laid out in a circular design so that guests can get a 360-degree view of the city below and mountains beyond through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. There are spacious tables and club chairs for large parties, while couples can cuddle up in cozy nooks while watching the stars begin to fill the night sky. There’s bar seating, too, and it’s where you’ll watch the mixologists whip up a bevy of specialty cocktails.
26 8.18.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
There are classics like the Cable Car, New York Sour, Old-Fashioned and Moscow Mule, but SkyLounge also has plenty of distinctive signature cocktail creations. Try A Summer’s Midnight Dream, a mix of Grey Goose La Poire vodka, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, pineapple and lemon juices and fresh cucumber. Or try perfect summer sip the Honey Bumble Bee, a blend of Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit vodka, fresh lemon and orange juices, Aperol and honey syrup. Here’s a special treat: You can order from the lounge’s social menu, and the delicious dishes come from the famed Top of the World kitchen one floor below. The social plates menu includes goodies like a dairy-dream cheese plate with truffle gouda, Saint André brie and manchego
along with spiced Marcona almonds, seasonal fruit and locally sourced honey. For something more rib-sticking, try the wagyu beef arancini with pomodoro sauce and Parmigiano or the lollipop chicken wings with a spiced sweet chili dipping sauce. There are plenty of vegetarian bites, too, like the hummus plate with both traditional and vegan beet hummus, served with cucumberdill tzatziki sauce and grilled flatbread. From 4-7 p.m. daily, stop by the lounge for happy hour specials on cocktails, social plates and select wine and beers. Make a late night of it at SkyLounge Wednesday through Sunday, when live DJs elevate the mood into party mode beginning at 11 p.m. and going strong till 3 in the morning. –Kiko Miyasato

Flights taking off in Vegas 28 8.18.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
NOSH CHEERS
Whether you’re looking for a little aviation nostalgia or want to try several dishes in one swoop, the newly opened Flights restaurant in Las Vegas definitely has the ticket for you. In the heart of Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort, Flight elevates traditional bar food, adding the fun element of flights of food and drink, plus tapas-style appetizers and shareable entrees in a dining room decorated by an overhead airplane. Drinks come in several forms, from fun, signature flights that let you experiment with everything from frozen margaritas to spins on an Old-Fashioned—have you ever tried an orange one? They’re perfect to order with a group, so everyone can take turns guessing the flavors. If you’re a beer or spirits fan, there are flights for those, too, from tequila and bourbon to local craft brews. Craft cocktails have aviation-inspired names like the Red Baron, the Frequent Flyer and The Wing Man, a vodka, strawberry and Aperol sip with a beautiful pink color and a light flavor. After you’ve wet your whistle, try whetting your appetite with a few threesomes or small bites. Ceviche comes with different types of seafood featured— salmon, tuna and shrimp. The baba ganoush has that lovely, smoky flavor that goes so well with pita, and the hummus and tzatziki are pretty rocking, too. French fry flights feature a smoky version accented with a slight sweetness, one with herbs and one that wafts the heady fragrance of truffles. The Stix are one of the more popular items, skewers of Thai chicken, ancho shrimp and chimichurri beef. The whole menu is well marked, with vegan, vegetarian and

gluten-free options clearly delineated, so no one will feel left out. There are some real stand-outs with the Bites section of the menu, and it’s a little funny how they seem simple until you taste them. The street corn tostadas are one bite indeed, a little tortilla chip mounded with elote-style corn, a light dollop of avocado mousse and a sprinkling of cotija cheese. Looking and feeling like tator tots are the truffle and Parmesan croquettes, but with potatoes prepared in-house (no frozen wonders here!) and a truffle crema atop, the flavor is exceptional. It may be tempting to try to sneak these one after another without your dining companions noticing, but trust us, they’ll notice. Sliders come in several varieties, from banh mi to Beyond Meat, and Soyrizo street tacos add a spicy element.
If it seems like too much snackage for you, fire up an entrée. Strip steak, a light smoked paprika-dusted salmon, ancho barbecue shrimp and crispy chicken breast offer plenty of choice. And, of course, you can always share those, too. If you’re tempted to skip dessert, don’t! Each table has a call button to summon your attendant for service, payment or sweets. Try beignets or reversed cheesecake flights— the graham cracker crust is a great first bite. And the Chocolate Dive Bomber sundae marries two great flavors, vanilla and chocolate with a molten lava cake, vanilla ice cream and both dark chocolate and vanilla sauces. Sure, you could share your sundae, but, really, don’t you need to draw the line somewhere?

Cynthia Balderrama
Model cocktail server creates fun and fashions Cynthia Balderrama, model cocktail server at Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria, was just 16 years old when she started her modeling career, mostly doing runway and promotional modeling. When she turned 21, she switched over to promo modeling for alcohol brands like Hennessey and Corona. “I wanted to take my journey of promotional modeling in the alcohol industry, serving people and being social—I wanted to take it to the next level, and that was Las Vegas,” says the L.A. native. “Before I moved here, I heard a lot of good things about the Hakkasan Group and how they operate all their venues. They own the biggest clubs on the Strip and I wanted to be a part of that.” The year after Balderrama moved here, she landed her audition for Liquid and began her

first season at the intimate pool club in 2016. She then took two years away from working in the daylife industry, but this year she’s back again at Liquid for her second season. “My favorite part is I love meeting people from all over the world that come to Liquid,” she says. “They come here to have a good experience. It’s my job to make sure they’re taken care of and to give them that best experience. You have to be a part of the party, have fun with your guests.” When not on the clock, you can find Balderrama diligently studying for her real estate license. You’ll also find her working the needle and sewing machine—she designs and makes her own swimsuits. “I’ve always loved fashion,” she says. “One day, I hope to start my own swimsuit line.” –Kiko Miyasato
A bonus of the intimate pool club is that Liquid Pool Lounge offers an elevated menu of cocktails and food. Specialty cocktails are handcrafted using fresh ingredients like fresh fruits. A fruity and refreshing pick is the Berry Madness. A mix of Absolut Raspberri vodka, Chambord liqueur, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice and fresh blueberries and blackberries. This week, don’t miss Liquid’s #ZeroDucksGiven party, Aug. 22. The duck-themed pool party fills the pool with tons of mini ducks and inflatables of all sizes; and on the decks, hip-hop musical duo HardNox will keep it turned up with their party sounds. –KM

Good Morning!
Brunch buffet offers plenty of choices If you crave variety but find the Las Vegas buffet to be overwhelming, the new Endless Italian Brunch Buffet at Lavo (The Venetian, 702.791.1800) hits the sweet spot. Start with the raw bar spread, where shucked oysters and peeled shrimp sit chilling on ice. Across the room, an antipasti selection of cheeses and cured meats, including prosciutto di San Daniele, Tuscan finocchiona salami, spicy soppressata and porchetta, are laid out with salads and grilled vegetables. And it’s never
too early for calorie-busting decadence: Heap fettuccine with lobster and truffle prepared in a Parmigiano wheel on your plate, or hit up the omelet station for eggs made to your liking. And does dessert ever adhere to a timetable? Here you’ll find a Cointreau Noir chocolate fountain in all its silky, sweet glory, with accoutrements such as marshmallows and strawberries ready for dipping. There are also a la carte items made to order, such as breakfast mac ’n’ cheese and eggs Benedict. –Genevie Durano

Pole Position Raceway gives drivers of all types a thrill
40 8.18.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
Photo by Credit
THE NEXT GENERATION OF AUTO RACERS IS ALREADY GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL, even if some budding drivers can’t see over the dashboards of most modern racing stock cars. Many a NASCAR driver got their start racing go-karts, whether at a dedicated track or on the street with a four-wheeler fashioned from a lawn mower and scrap metal. They could only dream of an indoor kart track like Pole Position Raceway, in effect making Pole Position a dream come true for any future Kurt Busch or Darrell Waltrip. To qualify to get behind the wheel at Pole Position, aspirants need only be at least 48 inches tall. “You don’t need your own helmet,” says Brad Mark, who was an executive with Richard Petty Driving Experience before joining Pole Position Raceway as chief executive officer and expanding into Las Vegas. “Just a need for speed.” That need is filled and then some. After suiting up and strapping in, the karts accelerate smoothly onto the track. Within a few laps the twists and turns become familiar. Steering, accelerating and optimal handling of the track become intuitive, and the drivers experience the full potential of g-force sensations that can be experienced by karting. Then it’s time to race, when things really get fun. The thrill of overtaking someone by taking a curve just right is incomparable, and in a go-kart there’s not much risk of accident. Pole Position considers its 18-horsepower carts to be the best in the world. Electric motors allow speeds of up to 45 miles per hour, tires are fat, F1-inspired performance radials worthy of the competitive go-kart Races start at $25.50, 4175 S. circuit, and hydraulic disc brakes are maintained to Arville St., 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Sun.the highest standards.

Once the black-and-yellow-striped railing starts whirring by, the appeal of racing automobiles around a track becomes immediately apparent. It’s addicting, adrenalizing and anxiety-proof, thanks to the safety considerations built into the design and supervisors with radio controls that can slow down the action if necessary. But that won’t be necessary for you. You’re a speed demon with lightning-fast reflexes and a knack for indoor tracks. You’re light years beyond customized lawn mowers. You’re a karter, and Pole Position has your raceway.

DEF LEPPARD worked overtime this
summer as the debut of their 12-date extended engagement at Planet Hollywood Resort’s Zappos Theater approached. The band spent evenings performing concerts on an exhilarating Canadian tour, and days rehearsing for their return to Las Vegas with Def Leppard Hits Vegas: The Sin City Residency. The double duty indicated the Vegas setlist would be a departure from the song order the band played at concerts so far this year. “We’ve been rehearsing the songs for the Vegas run,” says guitarist Phil Collen in a behind-the-scenes video posted to Def Leppard’s YouTube channel. “Songs we haven’t done for years.” They also developed ideas for production, lights and stage movement for what would be their second Vegas residency, having set up camp at the Hard Rock Hotel for their first one in 2013. This time the Joe Elliott-fronted band returns as Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, having been inducted in March at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center along with The Cure, Radiohead and Roxy Music. Queen guitarist Brian
May introduced them at the ceremony, remarking, “Not everybody realizes that these guys are not just crowd-pleasers. They also embody such an amazing technical excellence. They have it all.” Queen was one of the primal influences on the youthful musicians who formed the initial lineup of Def Leppard. The twin guitar attacks of Judas Priest and Thin Lizzy were influential as well. Collen, who joined in 1982, describes founding guitarist Steve Clark as a riff-writing animal, and the hungry youthful quintet became one of the seminal acts among the new wave of British heavy metal bands that exploded out of England circa 1980. Def Leppard’s sound was more hard rock, though, with vocal harmonies increasingly emphasized in their early recording career. “Hello America” from 1980 debut album On Through the Night made the band’s ambitions clear, but it was timing that enabled their breakthrough. Videos for the title track and “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak” from 1981’s High ’n’ Dry went into heavy rotation on a nascent MTV, demonstrating the band’s
propensity for both being able to rock like AC/DC and write power ballads. The exposure set the stage for the huge success of 1983’s Pyromania. Lead single “Photograph” exploded, and songs such as “Too Late for Love,” “Foolin’” and “Rock of Ages” put Def Leppard in the rock ’n’ roll pantheon permanently. The long awaited follow-up Hysteria added “Rocket,” “Animal,” “Love Bites,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Armageddon It” to the classic-era repertoire, as well as a new dimension in sound due to drummer Rick Allen’s switch to electronic drums. Allen’s loss of an arm to an auto accident is only one of the tragedies that befell the band, which lost Clark to alcohol poisoning and nearly lost bassist Rick Savage to Bell’s palsy. Former Dio guitarist Vivian Campbell, whose tenure with the band is now longer than Clark’s, has been instrumental in enabling Def Leppard to endure and harness the wind when it’s at their back, like right now. By all appearances, it looks like the band that persuaded fans to rock, rock ’til they drop intends to rock, rock, never stop.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition gives you a captivating view of the tragic event 44 8.18.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
Very few tragedies have touched us like the sinking of RMS Titanic. Sent to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, the largest ocean liner of its day took with it 1,500 souls. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at Luxor provides an in-depth look at those lives with remarkably emotional results. The exhibition is overseen by Alexandra Klingelhofer, executive director of collections for RMS Titanic, Inc. As the exclusive steward of the ship and her contents, the organization’s official role is to conserve, monitor and protect items that have been recovered. But it’s the human story behind those artifacts that makes their work so important. For Klingelhofer, the personal experiences of the passengers and crew are a driving force. “It’s a familyoriented and educational story. It’s one for the ages and it’s been inspiring people for over a hundred years. It’s one worth telling and one worth learning about.” To that end, extensive research is done to uncover the secrets behind each treasure. Personal items like shaving accessories, jewelry, playing cards and shoes are displayed with dishes, lamps and hardware from the ship itself. “Every artifact has a story—it’s just a question of finding it. Through research, I try to link them to the real world of the past and make them relevant to the present.” Sometimes when tracing backward, Klingelhofer has been swept up in a passenger’s experiences. A trunk of personal effects belonging to German immigrant Franz Pulbaum is a good example. “We have cards that his friends sent him saying, ‘How are you doing? You must be drinking all the wine in the world because you’re in France.’ You get a nice picture of him. He’s a
regular guy, he probably smoked, he dyed his hair ... he planned to become a U.S. citizen. Sadly, he perished, but his belongings still tell his story.” Klingelhofer’s background as a former museum curator assists her in uncovering an object’s story, but preserving the item is just as vital. Each material (paper, glass, metal, leather, wood, etc.) must be restored and protected in a unique way. Then it’s cataloged before being stored or exhibited. Of the four permanent exhibitions overseen by RMS Titanic, the Luxor location is by far the largest. Visitors encounter a re-creation of the Grand Staircase and can take a starlit stroll on the Promenade Deck. There’s a scale model of the wreckage and debris field and even a miniature iceberg that you can touch. The attraction’s tall ceilings and dry desert air also make it possible to display The Big Piece. This enormous section of the starboard hull, the biggest artifact yet recovered, can only be seen in Las Vegas. Not everything that has been discovered is ready to be brought back. The last recovery expedition in 2004 left countless articles behind. They’re
waiting for a time when advancements in conservation and restoration make it safe to return them to the light. Until then, those stories of the RMS Titanic will remain in the darkness, two and a half miles down on the ocean floor.
Luxor 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily, last admission at 9 p.m., $32, $30 seniors at least 65 years of age, $29 Nevada residents and $24 children ages 4-12, free children 3 and younger, special group rates are available. 702.262.4400
