Shania Twain
The queen of country pop returns Country-pop queen Shania Twain performed a now-legendary musical residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from 2012 to 2014, and after some time touring and recording her first studio album in 15 years, 2017’s Now, she’s excited about her return to the Strip this month. Let’s Go! opens at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort on Dec. 6, and continues Dec. 7, 11, 13-14 and 18. Twain can’t wait to push the boundaries of what’s possible with a country concert production. How excited are you to revisit a residency here and present your music in a new way? I had such a great experience during the last residency and I feel very at home (in Las Vegas). I’m excited to get creative again with this platform and a Vegas residency is so unique. It’s such a luxury for an artist because you get to dive into all this technology you can’t take on tour. It’s like a playground and I feel privileged to be invited back. But I’m excited about so many things with this, and just to be back in the city. You really have embraced Las Vegas, spent a lot of time here since then and connected with different aspects of the community. When you’re on tour going from town to town, it’s such a brief experience. During the residency in Las Vegas, I got to know the city better and just fell in love with it. And I like to be in the audience there. I’m always out eating at the restaurants and seeing other shows and going to hockey games. I guess I delved into the spirit of being a member of the community, and you know you’re never bored in Las Vegas. What shows have you seen? I went to Celine’s last performance at the Colosseum and I’ve seen every show at Zappos Theater. I
12 12.1.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
love the room and I know what it’s like from the audience perspective because I’ve gone so often and observed the stage and learned all the possibilities I can play around with. You are the creative director on your show this time around, but weren’t you very hands-on the first time around? I’m more hands-on this time around and I’m more familiar with the process. This stage is a bit smaller and more like a touring stage in the sense that it’s set up more like an amphitheater. It’s very rock and roll, a very interactive stage, less formal than over at Caesars. There’s more room to play with a hybrid of theatermeets-arena concert. I’m very comfortable creating there and very involved in the day to day, and because I’ve seen so many shows there, I’m very educated on how the room works. It’s going to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait. Careful! You might build such a great show that the other Zappos Theater residents will want you to direct their shows. Sure! I’ll just live there all year long and do that, become a resident stage director and show designer. I’m all for that! Last year, you hit the road again and toured behind the
Now album, which was a very personal record. What was that experience like? The important part of it was to share it with a live audience and get their reaction and response. That was everything. Of course I didn’t make the record to play in my room alone, but it meant a lot to fans, too. It all came around in a really complete circle. It was an amazing tour and it’s also what drew me to doing another residency because I wanted to indulge more in that production.
On the road, it was very exciting and different, and I thought, “I can do it even better in a residency in Vegas.” And this residency will have all that new music to draw from. Are you working on more? I am working on a new album and I look forward to that happening next year. I’ll be able to release new music for the second year of my residency and I will adapt the show for sure. The second year will be different from the first.

COUNTRY CHAMPIONS It’s National Finals Rodeo week in Las Vegas and that means it’s time once again for the biggest acts in country music to hit the Strip. You’d be hard pressed to find one bigger than Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas, now in its fourth year at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The all-star team-up of seven-time ACM Top Female Vocal-
ist Reba McEntire and two-time Grammy-winning duo Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn is a pure country classic as the performers had toured together prior to their 2015 arrival in Vegas. Add that beloved music to the artists’ unique onstage chemistry and you have the recipe for a one-of-a-kind residency and it’s back Dec. 4-8.
MUST-SEE Shin Lim Two-time America’s Got Talent winner Shin Lim recently announced his innovative Limitless show has been extended through June 2020 with dozens of dates planned at The Mirage’s Terry Fator Theatre. It’s no surprise that the talented sleight-of-hand artist has successfully staked out his own space on the Strip—Lim’s act is all his own, an exceptionally dramatic presentation of traditional close-up magic performed in a new way. Also a classically trained pianist, Lim has constructed a mind-boggling experience around card tricks, and it’s no easy task. His precisely choreographed and thoughtfully soundtracked routines leave the audience dazzled every time. See for yourself at The Mirage, Dec. 6-9.

Singer and songwriter Alessia Cara took in the Blue Man Group’s show at Luxor during a busy Vegas week that also saw her perform at the Chelsea and appear at the Latin Grammys at MGM Grand. Marie Osmond’s co-hosts on CBS daytime show The Talk were among the stars and fans in the audience for the final performance of the Donny & Marie residency at Flamingo last month. Carrie Ann Inaba, Eve and Sheryl Underwood cheered her along through the emotional performance, and singer friend Debbie Gibson was there, too. Reality TV personality and fashion entrepreneur Audrina Patridge dined at The Venetian’s Mott 32 with celebrity chefs Tyler Florence and Lorena Garcia as part of a special event sponsored by ShopStyle. Among those in attendance at the world premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s R.U.N at Luxor were the show’s writer, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez; director Michael Schwandt; soundtrack composer Tyler Bates; UFC president Dana White; actors Trevor Donovan, Gabriel Luna and Goran Visnjic; Olympic medalist Manteo Mitchell; and plenty of Vegas Golden Knights players. Celebrity chef Bobby Flay made the rounds recently, hosting a special dinner at his new Shark restaurant at the Palms after celebrating the 15th anniversary of his smash success Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace, which is offering a limited-time special anniversary menu through the end of the year.

Music festival springs from one of the coolest private parties in Vegas Since 2012, cloud-computing powerhouse Amazon Web Services has been hosting an epic party in Las Vegas to cap its annual re:Invent conference. And for the first time ever, the public is invited to an intriguingly expanded version, dubbed Intersect. The two-day festival is billed as a “journey to culture and tech’s leading edge,” as the aim is to plunge attendees into mind-tickling art, music and innovation—sometimes all at once. It has the feel of a futuristic outpost, with otherworldly structures and installations inviting people to explore inside and out. At the center, a 60-foottall video cube is a next-generation canvas. Art is woven throughout, whether Beeple’s loops of cinematic “art crap” or Ouchhh data sculpture,

Kyttenjanae’s wild animations or Tigrelab’s stirring manipulations of light. It wouldn’t be an AWS event without flashy tech. Some are to be experienced in demos, though the best flourishes are built into the music lineup. After wowing at Coachella, French DJ Gesaffelstein’s monolith of light-swallowing Vantablack takes one of Intersect’s three indoor stages. Hot producer Flying Lotus will layer his beats with 3D fireworks, and 500 glowing drones will do a choreographed dance to headliner Kacey Musgraves’ iconoclastic country. Also at the top of the ticket are Beck, hip-hop chameleon Anderson.Paak and the long-rocking Foo Fighters. The rest of the bookings hit just about every genre/undefinable niche, from exper-

Come On In and Color Me Blue Man Group is proof that being weird can be a lot of fun—and have broad appeal. The show feels especially well-suited for the flash and sizzle of Las Vegas, where it’s been a hit since 2000. The show has changed venues a few times over the years, but is now back at its original home, the Luxor, with its own custom-designed theater.

There isn’t much of a plot and not a word of dialogue spoken by its leads: a trio in blue paint and skull caps that pushes the boundaries of sound and vision in one chaotic routine after another. Things get messy quick, with ponchos handed out to the first few rows to be safe. Paint is splattered and food is used as a prop with such ferocity, it’s easy to
wonder how much of the budget is spent on Twinkies and Cap’n Crunch. Yet the heart of the show is the musicality. As good as these guys are at catching marshmallows in their mouths, they’re even better at banging away at adjustable plumbing tubes or a drum set that blows smoke circles like a cigarette. –Rob Kachelriess

For plenty of people, Hanson will always be the freshfaced kids who sang the goofy pop hit “MMMBop” in 1997. If you’ve never heard any Hanson songs aside from that catchy (albeit fairly nonsensical) chart-topper, you might be surprised at the group’s talent and range. “MMMBop” was released when the Hanson brothers (Isaac, Taylor and Zac) were all under 18, and it reflected a kind of childish exuberance. But even at those young ages, the Hansons were clearly accomplished pop songwriters, and they’ve honed those skills in the years since. The trio had more hits, including “Where’s the Love,” “This Time Around” and “If Only,” but since 2003 the group has released its albums independently, allowing the Hanson brothers the chance to explore creative impulses. Hanson’s later music is still catchy and energetic, but also deeply engaged with classic rock and soul, showcasing the band members’ musical chops. In the tour announcement, Zac Hanson describes the current Wintry Mix tour as “a collision of worlds with Christmas classics and a taste of brand new music,” the perfect way to show off Hanson’s enduring musical proficiency and depth. –Josh Bell

No One Is Safe If you’re the stone-faced guy in the third row, count on Ian Bagg calling you out and asking: “Ever sh*t your pants?” The Canadian-born comic’s wit shines in polished sets, but the greatest moments happen when he goes off-script. Bagg is an absolute master of picking on his audience, with a literal twinkle in his eye. Even his offensive jokes are delivered with good cheer. Bagg performs two shows in December at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, with a

dozen more scheduled through June. No two are the same, given how much improv he does. If you don’t want to catch his attention, do not sit up front (and definitely don’t wear high heels with shorts). If you’re hoping for that interaction, being in the back doesn’t mean you’ll be ignored. Bagg might poll the whole crowd on a topic and get laughs going around answers coming from any seat. His style is made for a Vegas showroom. –Erin Ryan
Pleasures Aplenty Absinthe, the wild and wildly successful variety show, has gained a well-earned reputation as quite possibly the raunchiest, most raucous entertainment that can be experienced in Vegas without needing shots afterward. Hosted by show “producer” The Gazillionaire and his sidekick Wanda Widdles, you’ll see a hybrid of cabaret, burlesque and vaudeville, with acts like twin tap dancing duo Sean and John, Ukrainian acrobatic quartet Atlantis and a gorilla with a liking for Nine Inch Nails. –Matt Kelemen Caesars Palace, 8 & 10 p.m. daily, $99$262.50 plus tax and fee, 18+. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Making Their Own Path It can be easy for the children of celebrities to coast on their parents’ famous names, to pursue careers in entertainment, just because they can. But siblings Jaden and Willow Smith, children of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, have worked hard to use their platforms for challenging art and social activism. The Smith siblings have been acting and making music since they were kids, and although they’re barely adults now (Jaden is 21 and Willow is 19), they’re already industry veterans, supporting their respective
second and third full-length albums with their first collaborative tour. Jaden’s album Erys, released in July, features appearances from hip-hop stars Tyler the Creator, Kid Cudi and ASAP Rocky, along with Willow. Jaden returned the favor by guesting on Willow’s selftitled album, released just two weeks later. All Music called Erys “an immersive experience that finds Jaden at his most vulnerable,” and NME called Willow “proof that Willow’s talented enough to stand apart from her dynastic family.” –Josh Bell
The Wild Side Set your pulse racing at Crazy Girls, the tantalizing revue at Planet Hollywood Resort. A legendary part of the Vegas scene, Crazy Girls has been firing up audiences since 1988. Groundbreaking and daring when it premiered, the topless production continues to raise the bar for revues. Crazy Girls’ unique style manages to push the envelope while still maintaining an atmosphere of class. Many performers, including host Dani Elizabeth, were once a part of Jubilee!, the classic showgirl extravaganza. As Crazy Girls, they continue a legacy of elegance while adding a sizzling twist. –Sam Novak Planet Hollywood Resort, 9:30 p.m. Sun.-Tues. & Thurs.-Sat., $50-$90.55 + fee, 18+. 702.777.2782

Some comedians simply possess a timeless quality. No matter how many stages they’ve taken, the performance is like listening to an old friend. This is what it’s like to catch George Wallace (Westgate, 800.745.3000) onstage. He’s still offering thoughtful observations on the absurdities that happen around us, but Wallace has been around the world a few more times and has made all sorts of hilarious discoveries.

In between are plenty of jokes and audience interaction, with the guys schmoozing the ladies and ribbing one another. –Nina King

Saddle Up
Rodeo competitors and fans flock to Vegas They spend all year zigzagging across 18 states, ridin’ and ropin’ from Walla Walla, Wash., to Deadwood, S.D., down to Austin, Texas, and out to Santa Maria, Calif. And they do so with one final destination in mind: Las Vegas, where the year’s top cowboys and cowgirls gather during the first week of December for the annual Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Also known as the “Super Bowl of Rodeo,” the prestigious event has called Las Vegas home since 1985, welcoming not only the year’s top rodeo competitors for an action-packed season-ending showdown, but also turning the Entertainment Capital of the World into cowboy country for 10 electrifying days and nights.

While this massive celebration of the Western lifestyle stretches from one end of the Las Vegas Strip to the other (and way beyond), the main attraction for those first two weeks in December has always been the nightly competition inside a sold-out Thomas & Mack Center. Fast-paced and thrilling, each of the NFR’s 10 “go-rounds” features professional rodeo’s top 15 regular-season money-earners competing it out in seven standard events: bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bull riding. With results varying from one night to the next, each go-round is essentially a riveting chapter in a 10-day-long suspense novel.
That edge-of-the-seat drama has resulted in an astounding streak of 330 consecutive sellouts that dates to 1987—that’s 17,000 fans per night, 170,000 fans per year, for 33 straight years (including 2019). The good news? As much as attending the NFR is a bucket list-type thrill, fans don’t need a ticket to enjoy the “Super Bowl of Rodeo.” All they have to do is slip on their boots, grab their Stetson and join fellow rodeo enthusiasts at one of the dozens of nightly NFR viewing parties hosted by resorts on and around the Strip. –Matt Jacob Thomas & Mack Center, 6:45 p.m. Dec. 5-14, starting at $73 plus tax and fee. 702.739.3267

Wonderful Time
Raising His Voice Andrea Bocelli is one of the best-known opera singers in the world, having sold more than 90 million records across the globe. And his interpretations of some of opera’s most well-known songs, including “Nessun Dorma” from Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot, will send tingles up one’s spine and make one rise to one’s feet in applause. What Bocelli has been able to do is take opera and transcend the genre. Look no further than his breakout hit “Con te partiró,” which translates to “With You, I Shall Leave.” Once heard, it is a not a
song that leaves the consciousness. The power and control of Bocelli’s voice as the strings and brass swell behind him lead to a climax that is undeniable. This song is so popular that after breaking sales records in countries like France and Belgium, it was only topped by another version of Bocelli singing the same song, this time as a duet in English with Sarah Brightman, known as “Time to Say Goodbye.” This iteration of the tune has sold over 12 million copies and is one of the biggest singles of all time. –Jason Harris
The Circus Life Mystère debuted at Treasure Island back in 1993 and as the first and longest-running Cirque du Soleil production on the Strip, is responsible for popularizing acts now common on numerous Las Vegas stages. The cast of more than 65 performers includes trapeze artists, acrobats and contortionists with comedic interludes to balance out the action. Characters come and go quickly, and live musicians mix rock beats with minstrel melodies for an energy and pace that’s easy to absorb. Despite its age, Mystère is timeless and incredibly engaging. –Rob Kachelriess Treasure Island, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Sat.-Wed., starting at $49 plus tax and fee. 702.894.7722

An Affair to Remember
Experience a brunch of epic proportions For seven hours every Saturday, Lavo Italian Restaurant & Lounge transforms into a brunch of bacchanalian proportions. Making people merry since 2011, the Lavo Party Brunch is part food, part cocktails and all over-the-top fun. Let’s start with decadent menu items like almond-crusted French toast with cinnamon, and panettone-and-white-polenta pancakes with whipped Nutella butter and hazelnut crunch. On the savory side, fill up on slices of the lobster scampi pizza piled with a pound of Maine lobster. Those looking for an indulgent bite can try the butter-poached lobster Benedict topped with Kaluga caviar and an avocado Hollandaise. For a lighter option, order the avocado toast with a poached cage-free egg and Calabrian chili or

the roasted beet salad with goat cheese and toasted almonds. There are Lavo’s classic Italian specialties, too, including pasta, pizza and the famous $25 meatball—16 ounces of fresh ground Imperial wagyu, Italian sausage and veal—topped with fresh whipped ricotta. There are raw bar options and indulgent selections like the seafood plateau grande with king crab legs, jumbo shrimp, oysters, Little Neck clams, whole lobster, tuna ceviche crab meat salad and more. Spirits flow aplenty at the party brunch, and specialty cocktails can be ordered by the pitcher or in brunch bowls. But heads really spin when your group orders one of the experiential packages to enjoy, like the ultimate Bloody Mary. This
behemoth comes in a giant ice goblet and is filled with Tito’s Handmade vodka, San Marzano tomatoes, cold-pressed celery and lemon juices, aged balsamic, horseradish and spices, then it’s filled to the brim with 18 shrimp, a pound of king crab and crispy pancetta. There are also champagne packages, and the bottle presentation parade comes complete with cocktail servers holding sparklers while they dance to your table. Speaking of dancing: To your right and to your left, and everywhere in between at Lavo Party Brunch, are people up on their tables dancing. Yes, you can dance on tables while live DJs spin everything from hip-hop and top 40 to EDM. The strobe lights, confetti cannons and glow sticks add to the nightclub-vibe fun. –Kiko Miyasato

The newest twist on brunch at the popular Strip restaurant pulls all the menu items from recipes in Giada De Laurentiis’ cookbooks (which you can purchase there, if so desired). Coffee or cocktails are perfect to open a brunch date, and Giada’s sangria makes a lovely alternative to the classic mimosa, although those are certainly available. This

twist features a few slices of lime and lemon, a little fresh strawberry, La Marca prosecco and a mojito syrup, creating a light sip. Get it with red wine, if you would rather. If you order the tasting menu, the pastry cart will pull through and you’ll select your first course—the cake has ac very striking geometric form and is liberally doused with blueberries. Fresh cream will be placed on your piece, which is not overly sweet, making it just right for your first bite of the day. But you may opt for cookies (and they are hard to resist—

Giada’s lemon-ricotta cookies are soooo tasty), mini doughnuts, scones, tarts and other mildly sweet concoctions. Then comes the salad course, which are tossed together from a four-tiered cart, with plates and lettuce and nuts and balsamic and olive oil.

It’s all very exciting, 855.442.3271 in a mild way. For an entrée, choose chicken Milanese with mascarpone or a heaping bowl of spaghetti with clams in white wine garlic sauce. Cacio e pepe eggs, a take on the traditional dish, comes over multigrain toast with pecorino cream. The eggs are super creamy,

and the pecorino cream brings to mind biscuits and gravy, but with so darned much flavor. There are even special desserts from the Book Club menu. In the affogato, instead of espresso, you have Chianti, not necessarily something you would imagine poured over ice cream, but it works amazingly well. And chocolate budino with amaretto cream is such a smooth pudding, with tasty toffee pieces all over the top. There are plenty of Giada brunch classics available, too, if you hanker for something dif-
ferent—Bloody Marys, bottomless mimosas, of course, antipasti options, lobster hash, pizzettes, and the Sunrise polenta waffle, just to name a few! The pastry basket is worthy of exploring all on its own. You’ll be pleased to know that there’s even a separate brunch dessert menu with a lemon-ricotta cookie ice cream sandwich. Whether you choose to explore the tasty world inside Giada’s cookbooks, or indulge in some of her dishes created for the restaurant, you’ll definitely leave feeling fully satisfied.

Kit Quirante
There’s no place like Westgate for this general manager When it comes to her career, Kit Quirante has found success at Westgate Las Vegas. Originally from the Philippines, she moved to the U.S. at an early age and settled in Vegas in her teens. During high school she worked in retail on the Strip, but by the time she turned 21 she decided to get into the casino-hotel industry. Her first job was as a hostess at the now-demolished Fitzgeralds (which is now The D). By 2002 she had moved to the Las Vegas Hilton, which has since become Westgate Las Vegas. And for nearly two decades it’s where she’s made her home, working her way up the ladder from hostess to her current position as the general manager of Benihana. The restaurant has been on the property since the mid-’70s. “The staff, my team at the restaurant is incredible,” Quirante said. “We
28 12.1.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
have long-term employees here, even since the day it opened. … whether it’s Benihana or the rest of the property—it’s a really friendly property—everyone has been here a really long time. We’re like family. It’s been my home away from home.” Quirante feels immense pride as general manager, carrying on the tradition of assisting guests in having a memorable Benihana experience. “Benihana captures the traditions of Japan the minute you walk inside. It’s so Zen.” And Quirante is equally as proud of her accomplishments at Westgate. “I’m very proud of myself,” she said. “I’ve worked really hard. I started at this property as a line employee, and now I’m running a restaurant that’s very wellknown throughout the world. It’s gratifyingfeeling, honestly.” –Kiko Miyasato
Once you walk through the front doors of Benihana, you’re transported to another world. The eatery has multiple experiences in dining—known as Benihana Village, guests can enjoy two floors of the traditional Benihanastyle dining, or Chinese cuisine at Silk Road and more Japanese food at Rikki Tiki Sushi bar. Throughout the space are lush gardens and even a flowing waterfall in the center—the perfect spot to start your dining adventure with a specialty cocktail in hand, like the popular 1964 Mai Tai (that’s the year the first Benihana opened in New York). The cocktail is a blend of Myers’s Platinum rum, Monin almond syrup, Island Oasis sour mix, pineapple and orange juices, Hiram Walker triple sec and Angostura bitters, with a float of Hennessy X.O cognac. –KM

Making You Happy
Bar bites and choice brews bring on the flavor The quaint, lively and very British Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill (Caesars Palace, 702.731.7410) is known as one of the most authentic pub experiences on the Las Vegas Strip. But it continues the great American tradition of happy hour from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday with delicious deals during Pub Hour. There are 36 beers on tap, and a 20-ounce pour is just $7. The cocktail of the day is $10 and house well drinks are also $7. Appetizers start at $6 and include favorites like warm
pretzels served with spicy mustard and rarebit cheese dip, mini corn dogs, onion rings with spicy sriracha mayo and hellfire wings in a chilebeer glaze with blue cheese for dipping. Heartier happy hour appetites will be satisfied with pigs in a blanket or mini pub burgers, juicy beef patties stacked with cheddar cheese, arugula and smoky tomato aioli. And if that isn’t enough, order the gorgeous grilled corned beef brisket sandwich. The plates are small but the flavors are big at this tavern. –Brock Radke
Chef Dan Krohmer’s raw bar institution Other Mama has been luring Vegas visitors off the Strip and into the neighborhood for years. Now you can go Downtown to sample his latest creation, the magical Mexican restaurant La Monja (1028 Fremont St., 702.848.3530). Coastal cuisine is part of the mix in this fresh, casual environment complete with a relaxing patio space, as raw oysters or brightly flavored ceviches are a great way to begin the experience. Chicken mole taquitos made with fresh, house-made tortillas are a must, so share an order with your friends before sampling lamb and pork albondigas meatballs with smoked tomato salsa and Ensenada sea bass in Veracruzana sauce. –BR
#trending The Vegas version of the NoMad Restaurant (Park MGM, 702.730.6785) is a celebration of classic American cuisine, but there are innovations galore to be discovered. New dishes offer riffs on timehonored favorites, including crab cakes infused with lemongrass aioli with pickled chilies and Thai vinaigrette. The new classic masterpiece is the American wagyu prime rib, with black garlic and porcini mushrooms and carved tableside with cheesy mashed potatoes known as Pommes Aligot. –BR

TOURNAMENT OF KINGS’ annual ’Twas the Knight show gallops in or the past several Christmastimes, the evil dragon wizard of Tournament of Kings has devised nefarious plans to disrupt feasting and festivities that would make the Grinch greener with envy. The forces of good prevailed, but Mordred swears he has a different plan during this year’s series of special seasonal shows, dubbed Tournament of Kings: ’Twas the Knight. Will he draw on his esoteric knowledge of dark arts and fire to ruin the roast beast? Silence singing? Turn dreams of a white Christmas into nightmares? Mordred can melt snow with aimed flame, but the actor who plays him doesn’t want to give too much of the show away. Antonio Restivo admits it’s a fully revised holiday show though, and that citizenry who have dined in the great hall while watching the legend of Prince Christopher’s journey toward knighthood unfold as well as patrons of previous ’Twas the Knight shows have something new to see. Restivo’s background in magic enables him to contribute to the creation of magic effects for Mordred’s archrival Merlin in ’Twas the Knight, which is one of the reasons he looks forward to the six-week production. “I also love the fact that we start the show a half hour earlier, at 5:30,” he says. A second show on select days begins at 8 p.m. “I’m always excited to do the holiday show,” says Restivo. “I’ve been in it for 15 years, and it’s kind of a break from the everyday show that we do, and it’s something special. I have to honestly say when

Merlin does that big magic trick where he makes the whole arena fill up with snow, people tear up. It’s a beautiful scene and it’s really special to be a part of.” Merlin has been making it snow every season since 2015 when ’Twas the Knight debuted. This year he has some new tricks up his sleeve, among other revisions to the production. Sparks still fly from clashing swords and knights on horseback charge at full gallop during jousts, but décor reflects the time of year. Revelers holding ribbons dance around a maypole, while a white horse makes merry during a dressage presentation. Guests at the round table burst into seasonal song. Things are joyous enough to make an evil dragon wizard burn with contempt. Restivo, a recipient of The Merlin Award from the International Magicians Society, says his fascination with pyro prestidigitation started with one match that burned down several acres behind a friend’s house. Fortunately for Tournament of Kings,, he found positive outlets for playing with fire and blazed a trail that led to performing in Las Vegas. While Mordred remains malevolent Twas the Knight for most of the year, ’Twas offers him a shot at redemption. “I don’t want to give it away, but there’s a part of the show where Mordred’s ‘Bah, humbug,’ Christmas Grinch side in him is sort of lifted,” says Restivo. Evil dragon wizards have no natural immunity to Christmas spirit.

Lassoing up NFR entertainment for rodeo nights By MATT KELEMEN
40 12.1.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
One thing rodeo fans have in common—besides a penchant for all things riding, roping, wrestling and racing—is a love of country music. Wrangler National Finals Rodeo draws more A-list country performers to Las Vegas during its takeover of the town than any other time of year, lending major credence to Vegas’ status as Entertainment Capital of the World.
From concerts to comedy, from the Downtown Hoedown kickoff celebration to the final after-party, there’s no better place to catch country music than Sin City around the time of NFR’s 11-day stay. The 33rd Downtown Hoedown kicks off NFR on Wednesday (Dec. 4) with a six-pack of country acts appearing on three stages at

Fremont Street Experience. Rodney Atkins headlines a lineup that begins at 4:30 p.m. with a Main Street Stage set by Jackson Michaelson, followed by Gabby Barnett, David Lee Murphy, Filmore and Dylan Scott. Old Dominion plays the first of two consecutive dates at the Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel on Wednesday and Thursday (Dec. 4-5), while Reba McEntire reunites with Brooks & Dunn for the first show of the latest run of their dual/duet residency at the Colosseum inside Caesars Palace. Thursday’s concerts also include Canadian country artists Terri Clark at the Golden Nugget and two great acts at Gilley’s at Treasure Island: Scotty Alexander (Dec. 5-6) and Chancey Williams & The Younger Brothers Band (Dec. 7-8). George Strait makes a habit of scheduling a pair of concerts at T-Mobile arena during NFR. The King of Country returns to reign with Friday and Saturday concerts (Dec. 6-7) on the same nights Gary Allan brings his Bakersfield-inspired sound to the Joint. Jason Aldean makes it a three-day weekend (Dec. 6-8) at Park Theater inside MGM, while Shania Twain gallops into Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino for five concerts (Dec. 6-7, 11, 13-14) during

Carrington’s annual stretch at the David Copperfield Theater inside MGM Grand is an NFR entertainment highlight. The singing stand-up comic, famous for songs such as “Show Them to Me” and a few others with titles that may not be appropriate for a family magazine, makes Copperfield disappear from the theater for a 10-date stand (Dec. 5-14).

WRANGLER NATIONAL FINALS RODEO
You won’t always be enjoying your favorite riders and ropers, so we’ve compiled a resource to help you make the most of your downtime—restaurant and bar listings and much more.
In the city that does everything over the top, classic cuts of beef are still king By Las Vegas Magazine Staff Gordon Ramsay Steak
There’s just no escaping it— Las Vegas is a land of steakhouses and buffets. We’ve got more of each in one 4-mile stretch of road than most whole cities, and there’s no shortage of amazing experiences to be had. Whether your appetite demands a Fred Flintstone-sized cut or a steak of more reasonable proportions, Las Vegas definitely has you more than covered.
2
The Cowboy (BLT Steak, Bally’s) Steakhouses don’t come more authentic than BLT Steak, and fewer meals are more appropriate for NFR than the Cowboy, a 22-ounce bone-in ribeye. Make sure to pair it with Hen of the Woods mushrooms and some grilled asparagus—and the BLT cocktail, featuring bourbon, lillet blanc, ginger syrup, lemon juice, orange bitters and elderflower tonic, is an absolute must.
1
32-ounce royal longbone chop (Gordon Ramsay Steak, Paris) Gordon Ramsay’s first restaurant in Las Vegas was much trumpeted upon its arrival in 2012, and with good reason. Its beef, sourced from Pat LaFrieda and dry-aged for 28 days in LaFrieda’s Himalayan salt room, quickly won over critics and fans alike, especially his royal long-bone chop, a cut worthy of Her Majesty.

8-ounce center-cut filet (Foundation Room, Mandalay Bay) The only thing better than the view from this restaurant at the top floor of Mandalay Bay is the amazing steak selection. Red meat here makes for memorable, melt-in-your-mouth enjoyment. The center-cut filet gets seared with a rub of pink Hawaiian salt, letting nature do the rest. Dip a forkful into a dab of béarnaise sauce for the perfect complement.

tomahawk feast (MB Steak, Hard Rock Hotel) Grab a group of 10-12 friends or family members (or fellow Wrangler National Finals Rodeo fans) and get ready to enjoy one of the most over-the-top culinary experiences in all of Las Vegas. This mammoth feast—a dry-aged, 16-pound tomahawk steak carved tableside and accompanied by six sides—requires so much work to prepare that you must request it 72 hours in advance. Trust us, you won’t regret it. Just make sure to have your phone ready.
6
wagyu ribeye (VooDoo Steakhouse, Rio) The views from 50 floors up aren’t the only things that stun the eyes here. Steaks include 21-day wet-aged choice, prime, grass fed, and certified Angus beef, but start with this juicy 12-ounce cut, courtesy of the Australian Agricultural Company in Australia’s Queensland. Pair it with options like the mac and cheese with truffle cream sauce.
5
Creekstone Farms Angus chateaubriand (Delmonico Steakhouse, The Venetian) Arkansas City, Kan., beef purveyor Creekstone Farms is responsible for Delmonico Steakhouse’s tender chateaubriand, essentially a long filet for two carved tableside. (Creekstone Farms also supplies beef to another Emeril Lagasse restaurant, his flagship Emeril’s in New Orleans.) The naturally raised Angus cut arrives not a la carte but with sides of asparagus and garlic smashed potatoes.
VooDoo Steakhouse
Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar
7
dry-aged bONE-IN RIBEYE (Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar, Park MGM) The Vegas outpost of this Chicago favorite excels in every way, especially its steaks. And this 22-ounce bone-in ribeye is a cut of unmatched richness. Make sure to pair it with one of the ideal side dishes like a bacon and sour cream-loaded baked potato or creamed spinach with blue cheese and carmelized onions.
The Steak House at Circus Circus
Andiamo Italian Steakhouse

32-ounce Andiamo tomahawk (Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, The D) It was The D owner Derek Stevens who brought Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse to downtown Vegas, and Vicari who tapped butchers Pat LaFrieda and Stockyard Premium to provide the beef. The Andiamo tomahawk is a steal at $79, dryaged for 30 days and “charred to perfection,” as the menu states.

filet mignon (The Steak House at Circus Circus) You really can’t go wrong here, but you would be remiss in passing up the filet mignon, as juicy and flavorful as it is tender. If you’re looking for something different in the way of sides, try the black bean soup, served with a small side of sherry and chopped onions, to add flavor as desired.
