Shin Lim
‘America’s Got Talent’ winner enjoying success in Las Vegas Two-time America’s Got Talent champion Shin Lim has become comfortable performing in Las Vegas in a relatively short amount of time, and his unique sleight-of-hand skills and cinematic approach to presenting magic have already earned him a spot on the Strip at The Mirage. Lim’s been selling out shows since summertime and recently signed on for dozens of new dates in the first half of the new year. The rising star found some time to talk about his recent success and his upcoming challenges, adding some big new elements to the show in 2020 and house hunting in Las Vegas. “That part is still up in the air,” Lim says. How does it feel to really establish your show in Las Vegas with this new extension? It’s awesome. I couldn’t ask for anything better. It’s a dream come true for me, not just as a magician but for any performer. To be in one spot and not have to travel is like a dream, but to (have a show in Vegas) is something I’ve always dreamed of. I’m very lucky to have this opportunity. When did you feel like you really found your rhythm in the Terry Fator Theatre at The Mirage? The venue was the biggest hurdle. Magic is so intricate and the show is very sensitive when it comes to certain props and where things are positioned, and it was pretty challenging for me and the team to figure it out and how we were going to maneuver around Terry’s stage. He has a custom stage for his show and magic productions typically require quite a bit of space. We need a lot more technical things for the magic to happen. But I’m proud of how it turned out. You create such a dynamic and fun contrast with Colin Cloud. How long have you been performing together? He’s really the perfect guy. I considered having Colin as the opener,
12 12.15.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
but he has so many great acts and adds such a great dynamic to the show, we decided to go one after the other and give the show a different feel. We’ve always performed together in groups (like) The Illusionists, and we’ve toured and performed on Broadway and on the West End. But we’ve never actually performed together like this until we came to Vegas. You have different styles onstage but you share the same approach to your craft. Yeah, both of us are a bit more modern, I think. He calls himself a forensic mind reader of sorts, he reads body language and stuff like that, and I think it’s really refreshing to see someone operate like that. He’s a terrific performer. What can we expect from Limitless in 2020? I’m really excited to see where this show goes. There are going to be some big changes in 2020 and I’m trying to evolve the show into something different. Right now, we have those core effects I’ve been performing for a while and things I’ve done on America’s Got Talent, and I want to do something different. I think “experimental” is the best word to describe it. It will be more of a magical experience.
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.
COMPLETE PACKAGE There’s a sneaky and fun opening scene with a backstage-rehearsal vibe that escalates quickly into a magnificent leap from a tall platform. There’s a lot of storytelling mixed into all that memorable pop choreography. There’s a funked-up version of “Opposites Attract” and an emotional interpretive dance with “Blowing Kisses in the Wind.” And there’s a slightly profane live-
action version of MC Skat Kat. Paula Abdul is pulling out all the stops during her Forever Your Girl residency, a very big show she somehow fits into the intimate and classic Flamingo Showroom nine more times before the end of the year, starting Dec. 17. If you’re a fan, she’s giving you everything you could hope for. If you’re not, you will be by the time the curtain drops.
MUST-SEE R.U.N Adjust your expectations. R.U.N at Luxor may be a Cirque du Soleil show, but you’ve never experienced anything like it, and you’ll be shocked and surprised if you’ve prepared yourself for a dreamy escape into a world of artistic acrobats. In R.U.N, combatants from rival street gangs go at each other in an abandoned fireworks factory, leading to a fiery finale. An adrenaline-fueled desert car chase you’d see in a Hollywood blockbuster action flick comes to life in front of your eyes, complete with more fighting atop the moving vehicle and daring motorcycle stunts. All that action will cloud your judgment, leaving you unprepared for the plot twists and supercharged stunt work that define this innovative production. Buckle up. R.U.N runs Wednesdays through Sundays at Luxor.

Mariah Carey dined at Tao at The Venetian during her All I Want For Christmas Is You concert run, taking over the private dining room with family and friends. On the same night, actor Morris Chestnut celebrated his daughter Paige’s birthday at another Tao Group venue, Lavo at The Palazzo. Las Vegas Aces players A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young recently served as grand marshals of the 15th anniversary Las Vegas Great Santa Run along the Fremont Street Experience. They were joined by the OV Elvi dance troupe and the Chippendales. Reba, Brooks & Dunn just wrapped up another blockbuster run at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, but before the country superstars packed it up, they announced two dozen new dates for 2020, keeping their Together in Vegas show on the Strip for a fifth year. Downtown’s Neon Museum, currently home to filmmaker Tim Burton’s Lost Vegas sculptural and digital installation, welcomed its millionth visitor late last month. The special visitor was local Nazarey David and museum president and CEO Rob McCoy presented her with a special sign as well as a one night stay at Wynn Las Vegas and dinner for two at Wazuzu. Celebrity chef and Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis hit the Strip during Thanksgiving week to check in on operations at her first-ever restaurant Giada at the Cromwell. She also logged some kitchen time helping to develop some New Year’s Eve specials. Crab-stuffed lobster, anyone?

Erotic production packs in talent and titillation What we love about Las Vegas is it’s a town where you can let loose, push boundaries, get a lil frisky, flirty—and there’s one Las Vegas production that embraces all that and much more, Zumanity by Cirque du Soleil. The show is an exercise in all things erotic combined with the artistry and athleticism that Cirque is so celebrated for. For example, you’ll find two lovely ladies writhing and locked in embrace as they plunge in and out of a huge bowl of water, stopping to show off their contortion and balancing skills. Then there’s the red mohawkwearing hottie whose beautiful body fires up desire as he chains himself up and daringly flies through the theater showing off aerial artistry.

A hot, choreographed number conjures up a troupe of dancing divas with killer moves to match their killer high heels and skin-tight costumes. Like bondage and blindfolds? Then watch as the sexually daring aerialist twists, turns, tortures and takes herself to explosive heights. Vignette after exquisite vignette combines talent with tease, amorous athleticism with playfulness and passion. During the evening, you’ll be guided through the human zoo by the Mistress of Sensuality, Edie. There’s a live band and phenomenal singers, both producing sexy sounds and powerful performances. You’ll get a kick out of the raunchy comedic offerings from the show’s swinging
couple—who love to get a couple members of the audience in on the sexual shenanigans. There’s also the lovely Botero Sisters, who show you just how being voluptuously plump can be quite pleasing. Word to the wise: Zumanity is not a show for the prudish. It pushes the envelope wide open in the most sexually spectacular ways and combines our bedroom desires with phenomenal talents. The simulated orgy happening upon what looks like a Lazy Susan of sex should give you another peek into just what level of R-rated naughtiness to expect. But as Edie warns the audience, “You can’t keep love locked in the bedroom tonight.” –Kiko Miyasato

Capturing the Magic of the Band Take an unforgettable journey down Penny Lane with The Beatles LOVE, a flowerpower fantasy that’s the closest you’ll come to a real, live Beatles concert. Featuring a custom-crafted soundtrack with elements from more than 100 cherished songs, The Beatles LOVE is a trippy multimedia presentation that only Cirque du Soleil could create. LOVE is a departure from traditional circus-based productions and Cirque’s first foray into the works of other artists. Based on
16 12.15.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
an idea by Cirque co-founder Guy Laliberté and band member George Harrison, LOVE re-creates, through dance and acrobatics, the origins of the Fab Four, their meteoric rise to fame and the profound impact of their music on the world. Presented in an astounding 360-degree theater with 2,000 seats and more than 6,300 speakers, LOVE blends hi-tech wizardry with live performance on a scale that few can rival. Surreal, dazzling and full of
color, it breathes life into familiar names like Sergeant Pepper, Father McKenzie, Lucy In The Sky and Lady Madonna. Massive special effects take you under the sea and to the farthest reaches of space. It all comes together on a stage that rises, falls, swirls and “dances” with an international cast of 65. But at its heart, the music of Liverpool’s most famous sons is what makes The Beatles LOVE one of the most beloved shows on the Strip. –Sam Novak

Enjoying the Spotlight Even if you’ve never heard of Jack Antonoff, you’ve probably heard his songs. Antonoff first honed his pop instincts as a member of indie rock band Fun, on singles “We Are Young,” “Some Nights” and “Carry On.” Since then, he’s written and produced hits for some of the biggest names in pop music, including Taylor Swift (“Look What You Made Me Do”), Lorde (“Green Light”), Sara Bareilles (“Brave”) and Pink (“Beautiful Trauma”), and this year he’s up for a Grammy for Producer of the Year. If you hear a catchy, anthemic mid-tempo pop song on the radio, there’s a good chance that Antonoff was involved. In between his gigs with pop superstars, Antonoff also fronts his own band, Bleachers, which has had its share of hits, starting with 2014 debut single “I Wanna Get Better.” Bleachers have since released two albums, including 2017’s Gone Now, and recorded an episode of MTV’s iconic Unplugged series, with new material in the works. Most of the time, Antonoff is behind the scenes, but with Bleachers, his talent is out in the open, ready to be appreciated. –Josh Bell

If there were a way to measure Michael Jackson’s continuing popularity 10 years after his passing, the atmosphere on any given night at MJ Live is a good indication. MJ Live offers fans a way to experience the feel of a Jackson concert, and from the opening snatches of “Dangerous” that launch the show, most everyone is enthralled and smiling. Dig “Dirty Diana,” “Black or White,” “ABC,” “I’ll Be There,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Thriller.” And an homage to Jackson’s gravity-defying lean is a highlight, garnering gasps from the crowd. –Matt Kelemen

Linger Awhile Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar brings a little Chicago to Las Vegas, but there are no obvious characteristics of either city at this restaurant, nor does the new Bavette’s limit itself to steakhouse traditions. There are enough classic elements inside to make it feel familiar, but it’s too fresh and lively to remind you of anything you’ve seen or tasted before. You may want to start your meal with a massive blue crab cake with preserved lemon and remoulade, a spicy peppered duck and goat cheese terrine or decadent steak tartare with a slow-cooked egg. But don’t stress—every item on the menu sounds incredibly tasty, so let your cravings take control. The recommended main attraction is a 22-ounce, 42-day dry-aged bone-in ribeye, a steak of unmatched richness. Pair it with side dishes like a bacon- and sour cream-loaded baked potato or creamed spinach with blue cheese and caramelized onions. Truffle mac
and cheese, and charred Brussels sprouts with Parmesan are fabulous, too. Take your time with your customized feast, because you’ll want to linger here for as long as possible. –Brock Radke

Raw Comedy If you haven’t seen Luenell before, she’s not for the faint of heart. Raw, dirty, blue—call it what you will—but she talks about everything onstage from feminine hygiene to the limits of her sexuality. While she does this, the 60-year-old comic proves that age is just a number as she energetically acts out the material, adding a physical component that brings the laughs home even harder—a woman of her age manipulating her body into positions one wouldn’t expect, and certainly not in front of a crowd.
Speaking of Funny Women of a Certain Age, Luenell is one of the stars of the recent Showtime stand-up comedy special, showcasing female comics that have been getting it done for decades. She also remains a popular character actor, having recently appeared in the blockbuster A Star Is Born. But her real draw is her live show, which she performs weekly at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club. –Jason Harris The Linq Promenade, 10 p.m. Dec. 15 & 22, starting at $25 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

All In the Family
Father and sons bond through song Family bands are quite simply the heart of music. Jacksons, Osmonds, Carpenters, Bee Gees ... we embrace them as though they’re kin, and their songs remain with us long after they’ve faded from the charts. Las Vegas has another family dynasty in the making, and the last name this time is Adinolfi. Together, they’re better known as The Bronx Wanderers, and they offer something for every musical taste. Even though they grew up in the culturally rich borough, the Adinolfi family has bonded with Sin City in a way that just keeps getting stronger. Three years and more than 1,000 shows later, the father-and-sons trio, along with an ace three-piece band, are now as much a part of Las Vegas as any native.
Patriarch Vinny had youthful aspirations of being a pop musician. Driven by the success of artists like Dion, Frankie Valli and Paul Anka, Vinny established himself as a powerful music producer. Decades after guiding numerous entertainers to superstar success, he decided to strike out as a performer himself, ultimately fulfilling his own dream of a stage career. Sons Nick and Vin A. inherited their pop’s creative genes as gifted musicians and singer/ songwriters in their own right (Vin A. released the album Geology in 2017). Along with friends David Braun (guitar), Joe Bari (saxophone) and Fernando Tort (bass guitar), the family formed Bronx Wanderers in 2006 and took their amazing band to sold-out venues across the country.
Sin City audiences have been falling in love with the boys since 2016. Following two successful years at Bally’s, the current production inside The Linq Hotel combines finger-snapping ’50s doo-wop with Vietnam War protest songs (“Fortunate Son,”), Four Seasons-era standards (“Rag Doll”), favorites from Dad’s prolific studio work and even a hit or two from Bruno Mars (“Uptown Funk”). The highlight is a stunning “Bohemian Rhapsody” that earns a standing ovation every night. Whatever your age and taste, there will be something in The Bronx Wanderers that will touch your emotions and make your spirits sing. It’s one family’s musical journey that’s also your own. –Sam Novak

Ray Romano and David Spade have been regular parts of our television habits for nearly 30 years now. That’s some impressive staying power. Both comedians have been able to translate their stand-up personas over to the small screen successfully. Spade came into our lives first as the snarky, sarcastic whip on Saturday Night Live in a class that also included Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and the late Chris Farley. Spade and Farley went on to make two memorable films in the 1990s, the excellent Tommy Boy and then with the pretty good Black Sheep. In both films, the lovable Farley played against the snappy Spade and their physical and personality differences proved to be comedic gold. Romano created and starred in one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, Everybody Loves Raymond. The family dynamics on that Both comics are still pushing themselves as show, based on Romano’s standup, hit home with live performers, with Romano putting out his viewers everywhere. It was relatable in a deeply latest stand-up special—Ray Romano: Right Here funny way. Around The Corner—earlier this year, and Spade
currently enjoying a run with his new Comedy Central show, Lights Out With David Spade. Go see why these two are likely to be around for as long as they’d like to be. –Jason Harris
First-Rate Dining It’s all about satisfaction, pure and simple. That’s the way of the great American steakhouse, and few restaurants have a legacy that compares to Old Homestead Steakhouse. For all the pure, simple satisfaction to be found at Homestead, there’s no shortage of range to its menu. Begin with a customizable chilled shellfish platter, choosing from Maine lobster, king crab, shrimp and oysters. If you’re seeking an alternative entree, the expertly prepared Dover Sole Meuniere is an absolute jewel, a throwback to gourmet rooms of another Vegas era.
Highlights of Crazy Girls (Planet Hollywood Resort, 702.777.2782) include a routine inside a heart-shaped frame by flexible dancer Bell, and a cheeky number with the whole ensemble shaking their booties in shorts with cutouts on the backside. It’s a real cheeky affair. 22 12.15.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
But the top prizes are the 16- and 24-ounce ribeyes. If sharing is your thing, the 38-ounce tomahawk ribeye or the juicy 34-ounce porterhouse for two or four can be sliced to order at your table. The pro pick is the bone-in 16-ounce filet, mingling velvety smooth texture with rich flavor you’d never expect from a steak so lean. And don’t forget sides like duck fat fries, lobster mac and cheese, or mashed potatoes enriched with truffles. –Brock Radke Caesars Palace, 4:30-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 4:30-10:30 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.731.7560

The Perfect Combination Although it may sound like it belongs in a weather forecast, Storm Large is actually the perfect name for the performer who first made a pop-culture impact on the singing competition show Rock Star: Supernova. Large lost to singer Lukas Rossi in the battle to become the singer for a hard rock super group, but the show gave her a platform for a career that has spanned rock, jazz and pop. Since her Rock Star appearances, Large has released several solo albums and has performed a one-woman show,
Crazy Enough, inspired by her life and her struggles with addiction and poverty. She’s also toured the world with the cabaret-style band Pink Martini, which is known for performing international pop standards in various languages. Large has performed with artists ranging from George Clinton to k.d. lang and Dave Navarro, and in her solo shows she brings all of those influences together with her soaring vocals and brassy personality. You could say that her combination of talents forms the perfect storm. –Josh Bell

Now it’s back, with the all-new American Woman: A Rock N’ Roll A GoGo. Dance numbers feature performers leaping from the stage and filling the showroom. An energetic soundtrack from the likes of Guns N’ Roses and Jack White will blast you out of your seats. So hold on tight ... Cherry Boom Boom is the absolute bomb! –Sam Novak
Good Times Remember the scene in Mary Poppins where Uncle Albert can’t stop laughing? And it’s so infectious that up goes the whole group? It’s a little like that when you hit up The Spare Room (Downtown Grand, 702.719.5100). Whether it’s Leslie McKinney’s Presto!, Don Barnhart’s Hypnomania or the Delirious Stand-Up Comedy show, you’ll start with a giggle and end with belly laughs. The intimacy of the venue means you might even be part of the show, too! –Nina King

ENTERTAINMENT
Keeping the Legacy Alive The Grass Roots has maintained a loyal following despite not releasing new material since 1982 and despite undergoing more makeovers than a department store cosmetics counter. No fewer than 13 adaptations of the band are pictured on the group’s website, and 44 musicians in all are credited as band members. The lone constant for much of that time was Rob Grill, who joined in 1967, a year after the band formed—served as bassist, vocalist, songwriter, producer and leader until his death in July 2011. Before his passing, though, Grill had assembled a lineup intended to keep The Grass Roots’ music alive for years to come—bassist Mark Dawson, drummer Joe Dougherty, guitarist Dusty Hanvey and keyboardist Larry Nelson, who delight fans with hits like “Sooner or Later,” “Midnight Confessions” and “Let’s Live for Today.” –Matt Jacob

Baja Tastes Most diners will stumble across La Monja Cantina (Spanish for “the nun”) because of its location, and they’ll discover a gem helmed by one of the most interesting chefs in Las Vegas. With culinary chops honed in Japan, Dan Krohmer is known for his Japanese restaurants Other Mama and Hatsumi (the latter just across the Fergusons courtyard), which makes this cantina concept a clever outlier. There are still Japanese influences on La Monja’s menu, like the michelada ($10), which draws upon smoked tomato and yuzu, the Japanese citrus fruit. The menu will continue evolving—Krohmer has plans for additional lunch, brunch and late-night options—but there’s plenty of Bajainspired cuisine to enjoy in the meantime. The showstopping El Guapo tostada ($13) piles on the shellfish and avocado. The spicy grilled shrimp ($17) is served over a crispy fried black bean gordita. And for a flavor sampler, try the Baja seafood cocktail ($15), which includes shrimp, crab, octopus and whitefish. If you have a more carnivorous appetite, try the rustic pozole soup ($11). Pork shoulder anchors the dish, accented by onion, lime and nixtamal corn. Additionally, the lamb and pork meatballs ($13) are served in a rich and spicy tomato and cream sauce. Newcomers might consider starting during happy hour (5-7 p.m.), which offers $1 oysters, $5 classic margaritas and more. It’s a safe bet you’ll be back before long. –C.

Hitting All the Right Notes
Piano bars mean everyone gets to join in the fun Looking for something to do tonight but want to skip the typical experience and try something different? Combining pure entertainment with cocktails and carefree crowds, piano bars on the Strip offer boisterous fun and a break from the normal scene in Las Vegas. Renovated and expanded a couple years ago, The Piano Bar at Harrah’s is an indoor/outdoor, Stripside musical playground next to the property’s famed Carnaval Court. Every night at 9 p.m., twin sisters Kim and Tamara show off their skills with a dueling piano show—make sure to have some song requests at the ready as they just might play them. They work for applause, so the louder and crazier the crowd, the louder and crazier they’ll be hitting those notes. The Piano

Bar also shuffles up entertainment throughout the week with karaoke (6 p.m. Wed.-Sun.) and saxophone performances (3 p.m. Tues., Thurs. and Sat.-Sun.) and the Vegas icon Pete Vallee, starring as Big Elvis (2 p.m. Mon.-Wed. and Fri.). Over at the Paris hotel is Napoleon’s, a swanky lounge that serves delicious specialty cocktails and sets the ambience to romance and chic Parisian style. What also keeps patrons coming back year after year are the dueling pianists, a longtime staple of the lounge. Here, guests participate in the wild entertainment by making requests and watching the pianists go head-to-head for the applause and victory every evening. They can play everything from current hits to the classics, and every performance gar-
ners praise and, at times, big laughs. The dueling usually gets started around 5 p.m. Across the Strip at New York-New York, hit up The Bar at Times Square, also a longtime hot spot for dueling pianos. True to the property’s kitsch, it’ll feel like you’ve landed inside a neighborhood bar somewhere on the island of Manhattan. Here, dueling pianists bang away at the keys as crowds sing along (on weekends this place can be packed from wall to wall, so call ahead to reserve a table). The louder you sing, the louder they’ll play, and the later it gets the wilder the party. If you want to get things started earlier, stop in for happy hour from 4-8 p.m. daily to enjoy deals like $25 beer buckets and $6 Don Julio margaritas. –Kiko Miyasato

Between dark wood decor, crystal chandeliers and illuminated bar tops, Hank’s Fine Steaks & Martinis makes an impression from the moment a guest walks through the door. The fine dining spot in Green Valley Ranch has been a Vegas locals’ favorite for years, yet it isn’t resting on its reputation. Hank’s is now the first and only restaurant in Henderson to serve true certified Kobe beef, and that’s sure to draw locals and visitors alike. The phrase gets tossed around a lot, but real Kobe beef comes from cattle raised under strict conditions in Japan’s Hyogo prefecture, producing a unique, elegant marbling that melts in your mouth like butter. Any restaurant that carries it must be approved by the Kobe Beef Association with paperwork and a golden steer statue provided as verification. Executive chef Arnie Garcia believes the meat is so rich, it works best cooked at a low temperature to no more than medium-rare with minimal seasoning. Hank’s serves Kobe beef in two distinctly different ways. The carpaccio appetizer is two ounces of ribeye cap sliced thin for $60. Since it’s served cold, a smoky hint of sesame oil and black garlic shoyu soy sauce help break out the flavors with an earthy chimichurri garnish of micro cilantro, ginger and scallions. As a main course, Kobe is also served seared to preference at $45 per ounce (with a 4-ounce minimum) with blistered shishito peppers and pan-roasted mushrooms. Only the eye of the ribeye cut is used. Confit garlic flakes, black garlic shoyu and French mountain mushroom salt are presented on the side, allowing diners the option to season as much as they’d like—or not at all.

Jonathan Venegas
Another year, another birthday, a lot to be thankful for As I sit down to talk with Jonathan Venegas, general manager for Edge Steakhouse at Westgate Las Vegas, I first find out it’s his birthday. Looking back, one of the biggest accomplishments in his life so far is a career he absolutely loves. “I genuinely love what I do,” he says. Born in L.A., he moved out to Las Vegas to attend UNLV and study political science. While attending college, Venegas began working on the Strip, and it piqued his interest so much he decided to leave college and pursue a career in the food and beverage industry. With a tenacious work ethic he learned from watching his parents, Venegas started at Bellagio in the food and beverage realm and worked his way up the ladder to management positions for not only Bellagio but other properties including Aria and New York-New York. Four months ago he joined Edge Steakhouse. Venegas also

uses his talents—he’s a certified sommelier and certified beer server—to create and introduce new cocktails and craft beers across the property’s beverage outlets. “But my main focus is Edge,” Venegas says. “Being with the guests, there’s nothing better than taking care of them with a nice craft beer or nice, handcrafted cocktail. The food can be one end of the experience, but I also want the beverage end to be an experience. That’s what drives me.” Besides a successful career, the other big life accomplishment is his family. “It’s why I get up and go to work,” he says. “I had my birthday breakfast with my kids this morning and now I’m at work. My kids are my motivation and I want them to be proud of me and to show them that it’s important to work hard and to love what you do.” –Kiko Miyasato
Handcrafted cocktails and craft beers make up the bar program at Edge Steakhouse. The intimate, upscale bar and lounge at the restaurant is the perfect spot to settle in for a smart cocktail like the Paradise Road. “We call this cocktail a two-way street, because you can either use vodka or rum in it,” Venegas says. “It’s a tropical drink. It’s refreshing, and even though it looks and sounds sweet, it’s not. It’s a great yearround cocktail. It’s also named after the street that Westgate is on.” This Paradise Road cocktail uses Grey Goose with organic grapefruit juice and cranberry juice, and is topped off with fresh watermelon juice and an edible orchid garnish. –KM

Food and Games
Tavern offers great sports viewing Las Vegas always was a sports town. By adding its own major league teams to the mix, the city has taken its sports identity to the next level. You can tell sports are a bigger deal because of all the sports-friendly bars and pubs that have popped up on the Strip in recent years. The newest tavern evolution is at the Excalibur, one of the closest resorts to Allegiant Stadium, which will be the home of the NFL’s Raiders next season. It’s called Vagabond (702.597.7449), it’s ideally situated right off
the main level of the bustling casino, and it’s all about casual fun. The environment is upbeat and includes classic bar and arcade games while watching the game and enjoying savory snacks like hot dogs and brats, barbecue chicken quesadillas, fried dill pickles with black garlic ranch, and Buffalo cauliflower bites. Satisfy your appetite with beef brisket or fried baloney sandwiches, the pork belly-stacked Vagaburger or honeyhabanero chicken wings. –Brock Radke
Mi Casa Cantina & Grill has long been home to one of Las Vegas’ favorite happy hours, but the restaurant within that Mexican restaurant offers some delicious daily specials of its own. Su Casa (Silverton, 702.263.7777) is an innovative sushi bar that’s already building a following for its sashimi, nigiri and rolls, as well as creative coastal Mexican cuisine. Happy hour small plates include togarashispiced pork rinds, sweet and spicy chicken wings and crisp calamari among sushi faves like spicy tuna rolls and new dishes like fried softshell crab with honey cornmeal masa. –BR
#trending It’s challenging, to say the least, to choose from the expansive menu of exquisite small plates at chef Julian Serrano’s Lago (Bellagio, 702.693.8865). Make it easy on yourself with the three-course tasting lunch menu, a bit of a greatest-hits selection. Our recommendation? Start with the refreshing seafood salad with crisp julienne vegetables and a bright and tangy grapefruit dressing, then indulge in the fourcheese lasagna verde. The chef will handle your dessert selection to cap it all off. Enjoy! –BR

HUMAN NATURE pulls out all the stops for the holidays
This year’s holiday season is particularly significant for Human Nature. The Venetian’s resident headliners celebrated three decades together last month as they made preparations for their annual series of Christmas shows, Human Nature Sings Christmas, Motown and More, which they performed in their native Australia for the first time. The week before they returned home, the vocal quartet released retrospective album Still Telling Everybody—30 Years of Hits in Australia, and upon arrival in Sydney received a special honor in recognition of their career achievements. “We’re being inducted into the Aria Hall of Fame, which is like the Australian music industry’s Grammy Awards,” said Andrew Tierney, a founding fourth of the vocal quartet, on the eve of their transpacific travel plans. “It’s an unbelievable honor, so yeah, it’s very exciting. Nothing we ever expected. It kind of took us by surprise when we found out. We’re going to be performing at the awards night as well, so it’s going to be fantastic.” Tierney, his brother Mike, Phil Burton and Toby Allen, who had been Down Under in May to receive the Medal of the Order of Australia, performed five Christmas shows for the fans who made them famous at Melbourne entertainment venue the Palms at Crown before heading back to Las Vegas to make merry inside The Venetian’s Sands Theater. Last month also marked the sixth anniversary of Human Nature’s The Christmas Album, which forms the basis of the seasonal set list and was rereleased as a deluxe version in 2015. “Let It Snow,” “White Christmas,” “O Holy Night” and “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” have historically been singalong staples of Human Nature Sings Christmas, with the album itself making numerous returns to the Australian Top 10. This year might be different, as Still Telling Everybody debuted at No. 10 upon its release and is currently outperforming The Christmas Album. Both releases include “Please Come Home for Christmas,” which features Human Nature’s mentor Smokey Robinson sharing lead vocals with Burton. Robinson may not be able to work Las Vegas into his schedule this December, but he was onstage at the Sands Showroom in September to offer his congratulations on the occasion of Human Nature’s 2,000th headlining performance at The Venetian. “We didn’t plan it that way,” says Tierney. “He was doing shows in town on Friday and Saturday, and he reached out on Tuesday.” Robinson was unaware he’d be in town to mark a career milestone for his protégés, but that’s just one of the miracles that occurred during the course of the relationship between the Motown legend and Human Nature. “The legacy and the impact he’s had on people’s lives, not only musically but culturally … he’s just such a treasure for this country and the world,” said Tierney. “Anytime he walks into the room, it’s a good time.”

Power couple creates entertaining options for all audiences By MATT KELEMEN
42 12.15.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
Matt and Angela Stabile are the unassuming couple behind a small burlesque empire on the Strip, having grown Stabile Productions’ flagship show “X” Burlesque into a trifecta of sexy, topless revues at the Flamingo, Bally’s and Harrah’s. It’s a family business, with dedicated dancers repaying respectful treatment with loyalty and enthusiasm, and their own children playing key behind-the-scenes roles. They also include hilariously sardonic Piff the Magic
Dragon in their portfolio, and although he works topless it wasn’t his dancing that led the Stabiles to turn him into a Vegas headliner. “We had a comedy show called “X” Comedy, and Piff was part of the lineup,” explained Matt Stabile during a dinnertime interview at Carlos ’n’ Charlie’s inside the Flamingo. “When he was in the show we were sold out every night, so Angela approached him and asked if he’d be interested in doing his own show.”
On this page, photos on bottom and top right by Edison Graff/Stardust Fallout
“Originally, we saw him in Vegas Nocturne and I thought he was hilarious,” added Angela. “That show closed and our wardrobe person, who had worked for Vegas Nocturne, gave me Piff’s number and the rest is history.” That history dates back nearly two decades. Angela Stabile’s background in burlesque includes 10 years with Crazy Girls at the Riviera. (She was one of the models captured in bronze for the Riviera’s iconic No Ifs, Ands or Butts sculpture now installed at Planet Hollywood Resort.) Matt was born into show business. His mother managed Jerry Lewis, and after attending UNLV he worked in TV. Angela’s aspiration to write a book about the life of a showgirl led to inspiration to create her first show in 2002. X Girls might be topless but they had to be able to really dance. No covering flaws with fishnets or tights. Performers would get up close to audiences, and music would be carefully curated. The Aladdin (now Planet Hollywood Resort) liked her ideas, and she met Matt after he was hired to produce a commercial for “X” the Show: An Erotic Adventure. Before long, the two were life partners as well as collaborators. “We’ve produced everything together since 2003,” said Angela. The show was revamped and renamed for a move to the Flamingo in 2007. “X” Burlesque still features some numbers created for the original edition, but it’s been continually refined, with a dazzling opener featuring floating neon trumpets, steamy choreography accompanying Michael Buble’s rendition of “Fever,” suspended strap work and a seductive interpretation of Led Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused.” By 2013, it was clear that rock music could carry an entire show, leading to “X” Rocks at the Rio. It’s now at Bally’s, where X Girls drive audiences wild dancing to Guns N’ Roses, slithering to Whitesnake and adding patriotic exuberance to Styx’s “Miss America.” The rowdiest scene is likely to be at “X” Country though, where country music fans shout approval for songs almost as loudly as for the boot-scootin’ showgirls. “X” Country opened at Harrah’s in 2015 around the same time Piff became a Flamingo headliner. The Stabile’s plate is full, but they don’t bite off more than they can chew and take time to digest their experiences. “We were both around (entertainment) for years and we met, and it just worked out,” says Matt. “It’s a good partnership.” “X” Rocks photo by Dan Bushkin Piff the Magic Dragon photo by Christopher DeVargas

Las Vegas restaurants were long famous for shrimp cocktails, Caesar salads and prime rib, and while those dishes are still a staple here, the menu at many old-school restaurants has been expanded to include everything from French cuisine to Chinese dim sum and smoked salmon pizza. For modern foodies, these standout establishments are a great link to the past.
Sterling Brunch at BLT Steak For more than 30 years, this extraordinary Sunday morning dining experience has entertained and thrilled guests.

A Musical Legacy Michael Jackson ONE (Mandalay Bay, 702.632.7580) is more about getting the audience to dance and clap than gasp and hold its breath. The show is a change of pace for Cirque du Soleil, emphasizing choreography over high-risk stunts, although there are plenty of acrobats. Elaborate stage routines, often based on the visuals in Jackson’s groundbreaking videos, are set to the singer’s
own remixed and mashed-up recordings—with a touch of live vocals and guitar. The storyline follows four central characters, who take inspiration from the late star’s iconic imagery. The hard part is separating Jackson’s artistry from the controversies of his personal life. The show responds by vilifying the media with paparazzi characters taking monster form for a Halloween-inspired “Thriller” number.
Bubbles the chimp doesn’t make an appearance, but the bones of the elephant man do. (A reference anyone who followed Jackson’s tabloid coverage will recognize.) Ultimately, the show works best when the music is front and center, especially during the snow and rain of “Stranger in Moscow,” the rhythmic lights of “Billie Jean” and the uplifting lyrics of “Man in the Mirror.” –Rob Kachelriess
