on the scene WITH BROCK RADKE
Michael Schwandt ‘R.U.N’ director shows a new side in Vegas theater
For its exciting new Luxor show, Cirque du Soleil had to approach R.U.N from a fresh perspective, and one of the individuals who guided that effort was director Michael Schwandt. He’s worked on TV projects including The Masked Singer and American Idol, and concerts and tours with Kendrick Lamar, Katy Perry and John Legend. He was happy to provide Las Vegas Magazine a glimpse behind the curtain. Is this your first time collaborating with Cirque? It’s my second time. The first was much quicker, essentially translating performances for television, so it was more expeditious that time around and I wasn’t creating from scratch. How exciting was it to land this gig creating with Cirque? Oh, absolutely, of course it was super exciting. The company is such a benchmark in live performance. And I have a tendency to be involved in projects where companies are trying something they haven’t done before or something new for the brand, which means I have to put my thinking cap on. I’m always looking at new ways to approach live performance. Why do you think it was so important for Cirque du Soleil to move in this very different direction at this time? I think the landscape of entertainment options is diversifying. Consumer and audience tastes stretch across generations and age groups and they are continuously evolving. I think it was a valid and important step for this company to make, to continue to diversify, and they are acknowledging there is a different way to bring what they do to the table, in a new platform and as a new entertainment experience.
12 12.8.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
You’ve directed and produced a vast array of shows, events and performances. Did you find elements in the creation and direction of R.U.N that were familiar to you, sort of applying those skills and experiences from your past? There are absolutely more differences than similarities between R.U.N and anything I’ve done before. It’s interesting because I’ve pulled from experiences across a greater swath of project types, kind of grasping at things I’ve done from a super-wide range more than ever before. There are definitely a lot of new challenges for me in this realm and stunts in general is a new realm for me to understand. It’s been a tremendous learning curve for me personally. The action and driving storyline of R.U.N really set it apart from every other show on the Strip. That seems like an essential creative decision. Absolutely. We’re aiming to be more direct, to guide the audience with the use of voice-over narration which we hope keeps them invested in the journey from scene to scene, and the performance in each scene supports the storyline. Everything is interconnected. We hope you’re not only following the journey but becoming really invested in the main characters.
What was the most exciting part of this creative process for you personally? I think it really has been testing my skill set. There’s so much video content in the show and I love working with video, but it’s really been about finding a way to present something new within each scene. Tyler Bates and I had an awesome ride together crafting the music for this show and the whole synergy of pulling together video, music and stunts has been super exciting.
It’s been challenging but also very rewarding. It’s also unique in that the story is set in Las Vegas. What inspired that choice? It’s an interpretation of Las Vegas. We had this idea that we could take inspiration from the city where Cirque has such a strong presence and kind of set the benchmark for quality entertainment, and how cool that would be. And it was a great way to inject a different energy into the show.

SINGULAR SOUNDS Portland-based indie rock act Modest Mouse visits Las Vegas this week with a tour stop at Brooklyn Bowl at The Linq Promenade on Dec. 11. The group may still be most readily identified from its breakthrough 2004 album Good News For People Who Love Bad News and its quirky hit singles “Float On” and “Ocean Breathes Salty,” and although this unique band hasn’t released an
album since 2015, a collection of new music is expected soon. Mouse has dropped three singles this year already, including the most recent track “Ice Cream Party.” The somewhat spooky and dark new tune appears to be named after frontman Isaac Brock’s studio space, built into an old printing factory. That odd inspiration sounds about right for this uncompromising group.
MUST-SEE The Beatles LOVE It doesn’t contain any direct references to Christmas or the holiday season, but there’s something about The Beatles LOVE at The Mirage that makes it ideal viewing during the most wonderful time of the year. Perhaps it’s the colorful, sometimes cartoonish cast of characters parading around the stage during the more rollicking songs from the Fab Four’s catalog. Or maybe it’s the profound and organic emotional connection formed by the combination of this legendary music and Cirque du Soleil’s breathtaking theatrical creation. LOVE is a roller coaster of feeling with moments that are melancholy, poignant and joyful. In that way, it’s similar to the holiday season … only the soundtrack is much better.

The rooftop ice rink at the Cosmopolitan made its debut recently with a tree-lighting ceremony hosted by Vegas Golden Knights Marc-André Fleury and Max Pacioretty and the inarena entertainers from Knights games at T-Mobile Arena, Mark Shunock and Big D. Before they flipped the switch on a stunning 36-foot tree, The Cosmopolitan’s chief people officer Daniel Espino presented the Folded Flag Foundation with a $15,000 donation. Attendees enjoyed s’mores, festive cocktails and snacks while strapping on skates and hitting the ice on the 4,200-square-foot rink built on top of the resort pool. Mariah Carey also got the season started with the return of her All I Want For Christmas Is You residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Near the end of her second show, the superstar singer got a Christmas surprise of her own. Guinness Book of World Records adjudicator Michael Empric announced that “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has become the highest charting holiday song by a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100, a new Guinness World Records title. Comedian, juggler and all-around entertainer Jeff Civillico recently announced he’s stepping away from his decade-long headlining gig on the Las Vegas Strip to focus on the continued development of his nonprofit organization Win-Win Entertainment, which organizes entertainment performances for youth in need at children’s hospitals and foster homes across the country. His last performance at Paris Las Vegas is set for Dec. 18.

HOT PICKS Whoa, Oh, Oh, Oh All the single ladies, put your hands up! And then head to Madame Tussauds to check out the newest wax figure on display, Beyoncé. The superstar is dressed in her hot pink hoodie, denim cut-offs and fringe boots. It took a total of 20 artists and more than 500 hours spread across four months to bring the beauty to wax life. –Kiko Miyasato The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, opens at 10 a.m. daily. 702.862.7800
Treat Yourself Kick off the wintry season right by treating your mind and body to some relief and rejuvenation. The Golden Nugget Spa and Salon is offering specially priced treatments throughout the winter season. Book packages like a 50-minute massage and 50-minute deep-cleansing facial, or the seasonally scented mani-pedi that also includes a paraffin deepmoisturizing treatment.

HER VEGAS
Naughty and Nice
Singer bringing a show of surprises to town There are many other queens of pop (Rolling Stone, perhaps unsurprisingly, has an actual index), but Ariana Grande might own the most hearts. On Instagram, she’s the most followed woman on the planet. She was Spotify’s most-streamed female artist of 2018, and this year had numbers never seen in the platform’s history. Billboard’s female record for simultaneous hits in the top 40 on the Hot 100 chart recently fell to 11 of her earworms, just one reason she made Time’s 2019 list of ultimate influencers. Grande is definitely the queen of making it all look easy. Hence the shock when she turned out to be human, cancelling her Nov. 17 tour
stop in Kentucky due to a painful sinus condition (despite remedy ideas from Barbra Streisand). But she bought lunch for diehards who gathered at the arena anyway, and two days later was in Atlanta blowing the roof off and surprise-dueting with old castmates from her TV days on Nickelodeon (Victorious, Sam & Cat and Winx Club). Let’s just say, with a generous wink, that the girl knows how to rebound. She brings her Sweetener Tour to the MGM Grand Garden Arena Dec. 15, and fans can expect some holiday magic stirred into smashes like “7 Rings” and “thank u, next.” That means the Santa outfits from the latter’s hit video, and tracks from 2015 EP Christmas & Chill and 2013
predecessor Christmas Kisses. Based on recent performances, wrapped presents might fly from the stage into the audience. Whatever the extras, count on Grande’s voice (and dimple!) being transcendent. As for the staging, it is playful and popping with color. Dance numbers and solos show the polish she’s worked to near flawlessness, while home movies reveal the sweet weirdo under the fame. Arianators live for such glimpses, so this show makes for the best kind of early Christmas present. –Erin Ryan MGM Grand, 8 p.m. Dec. 15, starting at $79.95 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Big, Big Stars Although she may not have been thinking about playing Caesars Palace at the dawn of her career, Reba McEntire sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at National Finals Rodeo back in the day when it took place in Oklahoma City. Decades later, she’d work with Ronnie Brooks and Kix Dunn, who hit their stride in the ’90s scoring their biggest hit with “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” on “If You
16 12.8.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
See Him/If You See Her.” That song went to No. 1 on the country charts, establishing the two acts as successful collaborators. McEntire would subsequently tour with Brooks & Dunn, developing the chemistry they would bring to the Colosseum in 2015. Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas brings them back during National Finals Rodeo. The two acts perform solo and in
combination, with McEntire choosing from dozens of No. 1 country singles and Brooks firing up audiences with his natural hypeman abilities. Together, they have historically shared the stage for Brooks & Dunn’s “Only in America” and “Play Something Country,” the No. 3 pop hit from 2005 album Hillbilly Deluxe, as well as McEntire’s cover of Bobbie Gentry’s “Fancy.” –Matt Kelemen

Success Story The actor-turned-singer thing rarely ends well. So earlier this decade, when Kiefer Sutherland was looking to scratch his musical itch, he opted for the safest path possible: He and longtime friend/producer Jude Cole would co-write some songs, record them as demos, then pitch them to country artists. That plan changed, though, when Cole—so impressed with Sutherland’s deeply personal songs— encouraged him to keep them and record an album. The skeptical Sutherland eventually caved. The result—2016’s Down in a Hole—was so well-received that it led to the follow-up Reckless & Me, which was released in April. Now in the midst of a West Coast tour fronting the Kiefer Sutherland Band, the former star of 24 appears to have bucked the actor-turned-singer odds—much to his own surprise. “I had no intention of making an album,” Sutherland told People magazine on the day Down in a Hole was released. “I hear about an actor wanting to do music, and my eyes roll back, too.” –Matt Jacob

Time to Groove Some Vegas tribute shows are cavalcades of impressionists and look-alikes, while others manage to transcend extended emulation with musical talent and artistry. The Australian Bee Gees Show: A Tribute to the Bee Gees has been paying homage to Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb for more than eight years at Excalibur. The singing group focuses on the main phases of the Bee Gees long career. British Invasion-era songs “Massachusetts,” “New

York Mining Disaster 1941” and “To Love Somebody” may be included on a set list along with deep cuts such as “I Started a Joke,” “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” and “Nights on Broadway.” They often share space with Barrypenned cuts for other artists including “Grease” (Frankie Valli), then it’s on to megahits like “Jive Talkin’,” “Night Fever,” “You Should Be Dancing,” and, of course, “Staying Alive.” –Matt Kelemen
Tons of Talent Celestia combines the familiar with the exotic, stacking layers of athleticism and artistry to create a fun and fast-moving take on the traditional circus-style production. There’s a lot of talent and creativity (plus several standout acts from America’s Got Talent) in this 70-minute marvel, which plays like a greatest-hits collection of acts—hand-balancing, contortion, aerialists and even the Wheel of Death—with a decidedly family-friendly tone. –Brock Radke The STRAT, 7 p.m. Sun. & Wed.-Fri., 7 & 9 p.m. Sat., $29-$99 plus tax and fee. 702.380.7777

Thank You, Thank Me He’s friends with Martha Stewart, he’s released gospel and reggae albums, and he’s in the hall of fame for WWE professional wrestling, so it may be hard to remember that Snoop Dogg started out as a hardcore gangsta rapper from the streets of Long Beach, Calif. Snoop made his debut as a guest star on Dr. Dre’s iconic 1992 album The Chronic, lending his laid-back drawl to massive hit “Nuthin’ But a G Thang.” Snoop’s first solo album, Doggystyle, came the following year, cementing his status as one of hip-hop’s biggest stars thanks to singles “Gin and Juice,” “Who Am I (What’s
My Name)?,” “Murder Was the Case” and “Doggy Dogg World.” Snoop has branched out as an actor, TV host and entrepreneur, while continuing to release albums that span genres and score hit singles including “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “Sexual Eruption.” He’s always up for a movie or TV cameo as a version of himself, the friendly, chilled-out stoner. Referencing a joke he made at the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Snoop’s latest album is titled I Wanna Thank Me, and he has plenty to be thankful for. –Josh Bell
Winter may not be here yet, but there’s definitely a chill in the Las Vegas air. And while you’re getting out of the cold weather, make sure to duck into Water Grill at The Forum Shops at Caesars, a great place to dine, people watch and enjoy a heartwarming cocktail like the Campfire Grill. You’ll savor the seasonal flavors as you sip this combination of rye whiskey, maple syrup and chocolate bitters, all topped with a flamed orange garnish. Make sure to pair it with a nice meal.
Hilarious Insights Fans of Chelsea Lately will no doubt be excited to hear that one of her regular contributors, the very funny stand-up comic John Caparulo, is now sharing his insights during his Mad Cap Comedy show at Harrah’s. Caparulo takes aim at the absurdities of everyday life—everything from his impression of an airport employee (picture someone typing endlessly on an invisible computer keyboard, looking into space but never

Getcha Good
Queen of country pop brings biggest hits out to play Shania Twain is no stranger to National Finals Rodeo. The end of her two-year Caesars Palace residency Shania: Still the One, during which she became the only Vegas headliner to ride a horse onstage, coincided with NFR in 2014. She rides into Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood during this year’s rodeo for the debut of her Let’s Go! residency, for which she serves as her own creative director. Twain performed more than 100 shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace at a time when her voice was recuperating from nerve damage. She recovered enough to undertake her 2018 Now Tour, which provided production elements Twain built on for the first six shows of Let’s Go! She’ll

be back for lengthier stays in March and May through June, giving her the option to revise the video, choreography, costume and bio-narrative as she wishes. With Twain being friends with the likes of David Copperfield, it’s likely she’s picked up a few tips and tricks since she launched the Vegas chapter of her career from the saddle atop a black Andalusian that stopped traffic as it trotted up the Strip in 2012. She’s likely to kick off her sets with “Life’s About to Get Good” from her 2017 album release Now, and populate the set with hits from “Come On Over” and “Up!” to “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” and “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”
With all of those exclamation points, it’s no surprise the new production will have a “party vibe” as opposed to Still the One’s more theatrical approach, as she recently told Entertainment Weekly, and feature “very sexy fashions.” What Twain considers very sexy may be mind-blowingly sexy to ordinary mortals and reason enough to check out her Let’s Go! residency, but Twain’s ubiquitous presence in ’90s pop culture will cause anyone more than 30 years old who hears her hits live to be nostalgia-triggered. –Matt Kelemen Planet Hollywood Resort, 8 p.m. Dec. 11, 13-14 & 18, starting at $60 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

Feminine Wiles For a band that started out as a joke at a karaoke bar, The Dan Band has enjoyed a remarkable run. The band’s namesake, Dan Finnerty, first jokingly sang Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman” while out at karaoke with friends, and that blossomed into an entire career fronting a band known for ironic cover versions of cheesy pop songs. Before releasing any albums, The Dan Band made a pop-culture impact thanks to appearances in hit movie comedies Old School, The Hangover and Starsky & Hutch, making them the unofficial party band for director Todd Phillips. While Finnerty and his band are still known for their comedic takes on radio standards like Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and Styx’s “Lady,” they’ve also branched out into original comedy music on their 2007 holiday album Ho: A Dan Band Christmas and 2015’s The Wedding Album. The Dan Band’s Vegas show this week promises plenty of Christmas material, along with the band’s trademark cover songs (other favorites
include 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop” and Kelis’ “Milkshake”) plus hilarious audience interaction, for an experience that’s part musical performance, part comedy show. –Josh Bell

Laugh It Up Light up a cigar, grab a bottle of scotch and settle in for an evening of naughty humor with Ron White. The foul-mouth Texan is back for more laughter at Aces of Comedy, the stand-up comedy series at The Mirage. Riding high on the success of his Netflix special If You Quit Listening, I’ll Shut Up, he has added a new legion of members to his already large fan base. White lays on politically incorrect humor with heavy doses of sarcasm and irreverence. Unabashedly patriotic, the U.S. Navy veteran has often devoted his personal
time and talents to disaster victims and fellow service members. He even entered the 2016 Presidential race with a campaign slogan of “Vote Smart—Because You Can’t Fix Stupid.” Still, it’s our American way of life that provides White with some of his best material. From vacation Bible school to dating websites, California quirkiness to motel movies-on-demand, the headliner turns his hilarious experiences into things we can all relate to. And that’s the trademark of a true ace of comedy. –Sam Novak

A longtime Strip headliner, Holmes is a versatile performer who can sing everything from old-school jazz to the great American songbook to timeless Christmas classics (His big hit was the 1973 single “Playground in My Mind”). Whether he’s paying tribute to his influences, performing original songs inspired by his childhood, or celebrating the joy of the holiday season, Holmes knows just how to connect with an audience. He’s played intimate showrooms and large festivals, but his approach is always the same. “Well, I do what I do,” he told the Las Vegas Sun last year. “In that sense, it doesn’t change.” –Josh Bell

The seemingly sparse food list you peruse at Hatsumi by chef Dan Krohmer belies its complexity; it offers a focused selection of izakaya fare. The left side of the menu features shareable plates, while the right lists skewer selections made on the robata grill located next to the bar. Start with the familiar gyoza, a staple appetizer in Japanese restaurants, available in pork and vegetable versions, the latter stuffed well with shallots, carrots, celery and garlic, topped with crunchy rayu and served with ginger soy. For meat-forward options, the beef tataki, dressed in ponzu and served with greens, is a hearty dish that pairs well with sake or a cocktail. The crispy quail, stuffed with pork and greens and served with cabbage and a miso dressing, is not to be missed. One of Hatsumi’s signature dishes, the okonomiyaki, is less well-known stateside than other Japanese dishes. Essentially a savory pancake made with a base of dough and shredded cabbage, it’s fried and topped with Japanese mayo, a miso glaze, bonito flakes, green onions and pickled ginger, and can be made with various proteins or kept vegetarian. You can spend a whole evening sampling the skewers at Hatsumi, which range in price from $2 to $6. Standout choices include the chicken meatball, shishito peppers and American kobe, but it’s the bacon-wrapped tomato that shines most. This just might become your new favorite Downtown hangout. –Genevie Durano 1028 Fremont St., open from 5-10 p.m. daily. 702.268.8939

Gilley’s
Let’s Get to Partying
Roping in nightlife during rodeo week When the bull’s not a rockin’ you can come a knockin’ to some country-themed bars spread across the Las Vegas Strip. Sidle up to the bar for some suds or specialty cocktails and get into the late-night revelry with your fellow NFR fans. Over at Gilley’s at Treasure Island the famous bikini- and chaps-clad Gilley Girls bring the Southern charm to the dance hall and saloon— they might even step out on the floor to help lead the line-dancing. You can even catch some late-night live music, including Reckless Kelly (Dec. 9-10), Kevin Fowler (Dec. 11-12) and the Rob Staley Band (Dec. 13-14). Try your grip on some mechanical bull-riding action at PBR Rock Bar at Miracle Mile Shops

at Planet Hollywood Resort—there’s even a nightly midnight bull riding contest. When you’ve done your eight seconds of buckin’ on the bull, head out to the venue’s 3,000-square-foot Stripside patio for DJs and drink specials like $20 beer buckets or an $8 beer and a shot. Plus, there’s live music each night during NFR. For some shots poured directly into your mouth, head on over to the rowdy fun that’s Coyote Ugly at New York-New York. Here, the bartenders, dressed in Daisy Dukes and cowboy boots, jump up on the bar and put on some daring and delightful dance routines. The intimate saloon-meets-dive bar offers free line-dancing lessons daily from 6-9 p.m., and there’s an
awesome happy hour at the same time with $6 brews and cocktails. They call it the “no-frills venue,” but we reckon you’ll have plenty of thrills and frills at the Losers Bar at MGM Grand. Known for having country music artists stop on by and hop onstage, you never know who you might see perform, especially with NFR in town. Besides the live country music, enjoy some pretty darn tasty specialty cocktails like the Southern Belle Smash with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee whiskey, peach purée, lemon juice and Sprite, or go for the popular shot and a beer, your choice of Jameson Caskmates whiskey or Código 1530 Blanco tequila and a draft beer of your choice. –Kiko Miyasato

Pearl steak
Situated on the Harmon side of Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort, recently opened Chosun Hwaro shares an enormous contemporary space with its sister restaurant Nara Teppan. Nara is a teppanyaki restaurant, a familiar concept popularized with Americans by Benihanas, while Chosun presents Korean barbecue, a more-nascent dining style to the States. And for newcomers, it is a worthy introduction to the world of tabletop meat grilling. But pace yourself, as portions are plentiful. As is tradition, your meal beings with a plethora of small dishes known as banchan. While tables are oversized, there’s hardly enough room for the collection of dishes whose makeup shifts slightly depending upon seasonal availability. On a recent visit, offerings included an Asian spicy salad rife with sesame oil, a soothing, slightly sweet pumpkin porridge known as hobakjuk, a duo of kimchis and an assortment of pickled radish and celery with just the right amount of tartness. These dishes serve a dual purpose: They’re an appetizer before your entrées are served, and upon arrival they’re your side dishes. And they’ll refill as much as you like! But the banchan are just the precursor to the main event—the meat onslaught. Let’s be fair, the wafting aroma of grilling meat is somewhat of a siren’s song, luring ravenous patrons to dine. Meat can be ordered a la carte or as a part of a barbecue combo. Chosun is a full-service affair, so your server not only guides you through the process, but also cooks your meat for you. Your choice is cooked in front of you on a tabletop grill, smoke whisked away by retractable hoods. It’s like a backyard barbecue without all the hassle! No matter what meats you finally select, make sure your meal includes the remarkable Photos by Credit

empress galbi, an enormous, bone-in cut of the traditional Korean short ribs. Marinated in a soy sauce, sugar and salt combination, the cut is both sweet and savory. Tendon, still clinging to the bone, is cooked fastidiously, tenderizing the intensely flavored yet chewy meat for an intermezzo of sorts. And another can’t-miss is the pearl steak, a fattier cut layered with flavor. Noncarnivores shouldn’t fret as Chosun has plenty of vegetarian and non-red meat options. Diners can order sushi from Nara’s kitchen, as the Japanese restaurant does double-duty, serving raw fish to both venues. And gyeran jjim is a vegetarian option, a clean and custardy, steamed egg casserole garnished with a colorful medley of carrots, scallions and bell peppers.
Doenjang jjigae
Be aware that if you fill up on the meat selections, then you might not have room to spare for an intriguing doenjang jjigae, a somewhat soybean paste stew made with tofu and brisket, with an ample amount of gochujang Korean chili paste for hints of heat. You might miss the hearty bibimbap, a traditional Korean dish consisting of a deconstructed bowl of vegetables, eggs and ground beef intended to be mixed with rice and gochujang. Remember, Chosun is more of a marathon than a sprint, so eat accordingly! LasVegasMagazine.com 12.8.19

Brandon Handy
Manager continues on a successful path Although he started out in marketing and playing football at Ohio State University, Brandon Handy “stumbled upon (a) hospitality management course, and I’ve always had a desire for food and cocktails, so I enrolled in the program.” That decision put Handy on the path to a successful career he loves. Today, he’s the assistant general manager of Vanderpump Cocktail Garden (owned by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Lisa Vanderpump) at Caesars Palace. Handy’s road to Vanderpump is quite impressive, too. He moved to Las Vegas a decade ago to help open Marquee at The Cosmopolitan. From there, he’s worked for hot spots including Hakkasan Restaurant at MGM Grand and Vista Cocktail Lounge at Caesars Palace. It’s while he was managing Vista that he was tapped to help open Vanderpump. “It was just supposed to be for three to four weeks, but after that time had passed, they asked me to stay longer,” Handy
32 12.8.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
says. “Then, a few months down the road, I got the offer to be the assistant general manager. “Working for the Vanderpumps is great— Lisa, Ken and Pandora—it’s absolutely wonderful. They’re very nice to the staff, to the fans, it’s been a pleasure this whole time.” As a manager, Handy oversees the staff and day-to-day operations. “I’m very fun, I’m very upbeat and I’m very fair,” he says. “Even though it’s work, people should enjoy themselves.” Reflecting on how far he’s come since switching his major in college, Handy looks back and is grateful. “Working for Caesars and the Vanderpumps is a wonderful opportunity and I don’t take it for granted. I consider it a blessing and I’m very appreciative of where I’m at.” Away from the job you can find Handy raising his son, hitting the gym and shopping the latest fashions—and posting it all on Instagram. Check it all out @mrhandy85. –Kiko Miyasato
The Bottom’s Up cocktail wowed the cast of Vanderpump Rules when they stopped by Vanderpump Cocktail Garden this summer and were treated to the specialty cocktail. And it certainly will turn heads when you order it. The drink, which serves many, is a mix of Cointreau, Grand Marnier, lime juice, agave juice, juiced strawberries, lime and orange wheels, strawberries, edible flowers, jalapeno slices and, wait for it … a 1-liter bottle of Casamigos Blanco tequila. Bottoms up, indeed! –KM

Beef gets the royal treatment Global culinary sensation Jean-Georges Vongerichten achieves new levels of luxury in the beef program at his namesake Jean Georges Steakhouse (Aria, 877.230.2742). The A5 Certified Kobe beef from Japan offers unbelievably rich flavor, especially once this restaurant’s masterful crew has given it a turn on a custom-built grill over apricot wood and finished your steak with rendered beef fat, sea salt and cracked pepper. But the beef is only the beginning here. Smoked baby back ribs are lacquered in passion
fruit barbecue sauce. Foie gras brulée is served with brioche toast and apple-jalapeño marmalade. Black truffle mac and cheese and crunchy potatoes with chili yogurt are favorite sides, and the kitchen comes to you with tableside carving of smoked wagyu brisket or shareable tomahawk or porterhouse cuts. Of course, you can always augment your main attraction with a half-pound of king crab legs, bone marrow, diver scallops, saltwater prawns or Dungeness crab prepared Oscar style. This is a steakhouse without limits. –Brock Radke
As a spacious second chapter to the popular Bin 702 wine bar at Downtown Container Park, the new 18Bin (107 E. Charleston Blvd. No. 150, 702.202.2484) is a comfy-yet-hip medley of experiential nooks. On the patio, traditional bistro seating shares space with a corner stage and an oversize sculpture of a Spam can. Inside, a retro ’70s vibe gives the bar a slightly edgy feel, while a game room counters with a playful atmosphere. Cajun gumbo and jambalaya hint at New Orleans-bred chef Jennifer Landry’s roots, and cheesy ropa vieja shepherd’s pie and indulgent brisket-blend hamburger are among the best deals downtown. –C.

Tracy Lawrence
Golden Nugget gathers up amazing talent By Matt Kelemen There are two kinds of people in the world, “the day people and the night people,” according to Thursdaynight (Dec. 12) Golden Nugget headliner Ray Wylie Hubbard in recent set opener “Rabbit.” And it’s the night people’s job to entertain National Finals Rodeo fans who spend the day watching the competition at Thomas & Mack Center or cruising Cowboy Christmas at Las Vegas Convention Center for this year’s coolest gifts and gear. The Golden Nugget hotel in Downtown Las Vegas features a slew of top-tier night people during the height of NFR, with a few legends joined by an outlaw or two with reverence for honky-tonk heroes.

Jamey Johnson
Ronnie Milsap
Ray Wylie Hubbard
One legend is celebrating his 76th year with a series of concerts that began on his birthday in January at Nashville’s venerable Ryman Auditorium, where he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 1976. Ronnie Milsap, who performs Dec. 9, was an R&B recording artist and session musician before Charlie Pride encouraged him to go country. He scored several No. 1s before becoming an Opry member but hit his piano-driven stride afterward with the ballads “What a Difference You’ve Made in My Life” and “It Was Almost Like a Song.” Expect a set full of classics such as “Smoky Mountain Rain,” “(There’s) No Gettin’ Over Me” and “Any Day Now.” Tracy Lawrence, representing the early to mid’90s school of cowboy singers, headlines Dec. 10. He was discovered in 1991 and released his debut album, Sticks and Stones, that year. His 1993 album Alibis and 1996’s Time Marches On continued his streak of successful singles, but his biggest hit came in 2007 with “Find Out Who Your Friends Are.” Those songs and more are likely to be part of a set he’s been kicking off with the title cut from this year’s studio album Made in America. Lorrie Morgan and Pam Tillis continue their fruitful working relationship with a Dec. 11 concert, featuring solo hits and songs from their critically acclaimed joint efforts Dos Divas from 2013 and 2017’s Come See Me and Come Lonely. Tillis, the daughter of “Coca Cola Cowboy” Mel Tillis, established herself in the ’80s with albums Homeward Looking Angel and Sweetheart’s Dance. Morgan bounced back from the death of country-artist husband Keith Whitley to enter the ’90s with No. 1 single “Five Minutes” and continued to score hits throughout the decade. Hubbard has a detectable influence from Johnny Cash but takes his rough-hewn Americana-roots music into his own dimension. If song titles like “Drunken Poet’s Dream” and “Screw You, We’re From Texas” aren’t enough indication, check out his cover of James McMurtry’s “Choctaw Bingo” to find out if he’s your guitar man. Like Cash, Waylon Jennings and George Jones are no longer with us, but they were formative influences on Jamey Johnson, who brings his brand of outlaw country on Dec. 13. He’s got a thing for Kris Kristofferson too, as his frank confessional song “High Cost of Living” pays homage to the poet songwriter’s “Sunday Morning Comin Down.” Ronnie Milsap photo by Allister Ann Ray Wylie Hubbard photo by Mary Keating-Bruton

To the right are mechanical horseracing games. The Sigma Derby machine is a vintage machine lovingly maintained by the Stevens brothers, and there’s rarely an empty seat when the tiny thoroughbreds go neck-and-neck around the miniature track. For the occasional times when the Sigma Derby is being serviced, the Konami Cup is a reboot of the classic Derby game, with horses that gallop as they race toward the finish line. The Showroom at the D, featuring afternoon and late-night comedy in addition to resident shows Defending the Caveman, Friends!

Terry Fator’s friends will tell you “he freaking loves Christmas.” Not like he gets his tree in early November—like he watches every holiday movie, from The Muppet Christmas Carol and Scrooged to 1947 Oscar nominee It Happened on 5th Avenue. “Of course my wife and I watch every Hallmark Christmas movie that comes out, and there’s like 40 of them this year,” he says with the kind of stoke you just can’t fake. “I love it! And I cry every time at the end when they kiss. Every. Single.

As in, Merry Juana. Jokes and visual gags abound, but the music is as substantial as the humor, be it Fator’s dead-on Etta James from sweet little puppet Emma Taylor or his Bing Crosby-David Bowie duet on “Little Drummer Boy.” Styling Elton John and the Rat Pack or his own original characters, the “Voice of Entertainment” strives to be low-key enough to let the puppets truly come alive. “I don’t dress up when I get onstage,” he adds, “because I want it to feel like the guy next door is just entertaining you in your living room.” He insists that he doesn’t think about the impact he’s had/is having/will have on Vegas’ legacy because he’s too busy creating and rehearsing. Especially during his favorite season. “One day I’m gonna look back and reflect, and I hope I can say, ‘Wow, I was at Mirage for 40 years!’” he says with a chuckle. For now, Fator is about crafting this moment, and being our city’s version of Andy Williams. “We really bring out the spirit of the holidays and Christmas with characters and impressions and comedy. You’re going to leave being on top of the world, feeling like Christmas has started.”

RODNEY CARRINGTON’s annual Vegas shows bring on the belly laughs h en the calendar page flips to December, tourists and residents alike enjoy plenty of cool Las Vegas weather and gorgeous holiday decorations.

Perhaps that’s why the raucous actor/comedian/singer returns to MGM Grand year after year during the annual event. This holiday season, he’s back for 10 outrageous performances. Not every stand-up comic can boast about a singing career, but Carrington has woven music and laughter together from the beginning.
