NOTES

From the Editor Now Hear This!

Like most of you, we sorely missed live music during the 2020 shutdown. We love the energy of a room filled with like-minded fans, singing along with some of our favorite artists and escaping the worries of the day. And live music is now fully back, with incredible offerings practically every week, from performers who are here for just a few nights to those who have signed on for long-term residencies. Odds are you might already have a ticket (or two) for some of these concerts this week, but just in case you need a bit more help deciding, this issue contains plenty of options. Two residencies you definitely want to check out include Keith Urban at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace (“Now Playing,” p. 30) and Carrie Underwood at Resorts World Las Vegas (“Larger Than Country,” p. 11). Fans of classic rock will definitely want to get rocked like a hurricane with the arrival of Scorpions, who are set to perform a limited-engagement residency at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort (“Rock Believers!” p. 34), or perhaps check out the Sammy Hagar residency at The STRAT, a guaranteed fun party atmosphere (“Turn Up the Music,” p. 49). But live music is only the beginning of your unforgettable Vegas experience. There are also some amazing shows to

see, including burlesque revue Rated Red at AREA15. In this issue, associate editor Kiko Miyasato interviews Jawkeen Howard, the show’s choreographer (“All the Right Moves,” p. 12). We’ve also lined up a fantastic collection of next-level restaurants: Libertine Social at Mandalay Bay (“Indulge Together,” p. 9); Ping Pang Pong at Gold Coast (“An Abundant Table,” p. 14); Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at Sahara Las Vegas (“Creative Finds,” p. 17); Sadelle’s at Bellagio (“Morning Glory,” p. 24); Majordomo Meat & Fish at The Palazzo (“Holy Smoked!” p. 10); Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at MGM Grand (“Creole at Its Finest,” p. 13); and Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar at Park MGM (“Chicagoan Delight,” p. 16). Looking to experience one of our city’s resorts? Check out Miyasato’s walkthrough of three highlights of one of downtown’s most popular properties (“1, 2, 3: Circa Resort & Casino,” p. 36). How about a great experience or two for the whole family? Check out our coverage of such attractions as Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. at Treasure Island (“Take a Heroic Journey,” p. 14) or the thrill rides at The STRAT (“Over the Edge,” p. 13). We hope you get tickets to your favorite music stars. And we hope that’s only the beginning of your Vegas experience.

Indulge Together When you dine at Libertine Social, it’s just that, social. Everything about Shawn McClain’s place is designed to encourage interaction between you and your party as you nosh. With several areas to land, from the dining room to one of two bars, and the patio outside, the buzz of the entire establishment

will get you fired up. And the menu is just as buzzy now as it was when Libertine opened— the caviar fried egg, filled with corn pudding and topped with caviar and brioche, is almost a must. You’ll find main dishes like roasted Petaluma chicken and the hefty Libertine

cheeseburger. And drinks! The drink menu was designed by celebrated mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim, and features some super libations. Plus, a to-go window lets you get some of those culinary pops at lunch on weekends, before the restaurant opens for the evening. –Nina King

Holy Smoked!

Enjoy a celebrity chef’s take on traditional foods David Chang is an explorer. As much as he has accomplished—chef, author, TV personality and more—he’s always looking ahead, never satisfied, always curious. Lucky for us, that sense of adventure is on full display here in Las Vegas at his amazing restaurant, Majordomo Meat & Fish. The sense that you are entering rarefied air becomes apparent the minute you set foot in the restaurant. It’s absolutely gorgeous, with perfectly appointed tables and an attentive waitstaff making sure your experience is impeccable. If you decide to start with a cocktail, make sure to try one of Chang’s smoked versions of either an Old-Fashioned or Negroni (a recent addition).

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Both are prepared tableside, and you’ll want to get your phone out to shoot the process. Chang’s desire to think differently is apparent all over the menu. Start off with bing bread and chickpea dip to see what we mean. It’s tempting to think of it as hummus, but it is not. It’s decidedly unique, flavored with Chang’s fermented hozon spice. You can also enjoy bing bread with shaved foie gras or tingly lamb, which is just what it sounds like. The smoke motif continues with the main courses, including an 8-ounce wagyu strip dinner smoked over white oak and mesquite coals and brushed with savory salt butter. Or opt for the

impressive smoked whole plate bone-in short rib, served with beef rice and lettuce wraps. Sides are equally imaginative, including marinated mushrooms and pickled onion rings. Seafood lovers have got to try the miso-marinated Chilean sea bass, served with bok choy, daikon and citrus, or the bluefin tuna crudo from the raw bar. For dessert, some highlights include the Major Doughnut, a pan-fried Krispy Kreme doughnut, vanilla ice cream, banana flambé and caramel whip, and the Major Mess with vanilla meringue, peach whip and macerated peaches. –Ken Miller The Palazzo, 866.659.9643

Immersed in Art An unforgettable art experience awaits you at The Original Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit Las Vegas, where some of the most famous works of art are shown in a way you’ve never seen before. You enter a large, rectangular room, and as the lights dim, Van Gogh’s works like The Starry Night and The Yellow House are projected on every inch of the walls, as plaintive music guides you through the artist’s journey. It’s fascinating, it’s cutting-edge, it’s emotional. And it’s utterly Vegas. –Ken Miller The Shops at Crystals, vangoghvegas.com

Without question, Carrie Underwood is one of the biggest stars in the world. And even though her fans would no doubt be content to just hear her sing her classics, Underwood gives fans a great production to boot in her new Las Vegas show, Reflection. This production utilizes all the classic elements Las Vegas is known for—backup dancers, pyrotechnics, costume changes, moving stages, water effects and so much more. Underwood takes audiences on a journey through her discography, from “Last Name” and “Jesus Take the Wheel” to “Drinking Alone” and “Before He Cheats,” complete with a car being beaten to pieces onstage. And for those who aren’t country fans through and through, know this: Underwood does some serious rocking in this show, including a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll.” Because it’s Las Vegas, and Underwood and her talented band aren’t holding anything back. This show is the reason you come to Las Vegas. It’s also the reason many of you might be coming back; Underwood is scheduled to play many more dates throughout the year. –Ken Miller

Satisfy Your Cravings If there’s one cuisine we could eat every day, it’s Mexican food—the flavors, the meats, the margaritas, the chips and salsa … OK, we’ve gotta stop! You can satisfy your South-of-the-border cravings at Borracha Mexican Cantina. Start your experience here with the guacamole, made even poppier with cotija cheese. A fantastic appetizer is the shrimp ceviche, so refreshing with avocado, pickled red onions and cilantro vinaigrette. Make

sure to grab a margarita at this point—we’re partial to the blood orange variety, made with Hornitos Plata tequila. Now down to business! Whether you want street tacos, burritos or some slow-roasted pork carnitas, you’ll be savoring every bite here. And vegans will find plenty to enjoy, too, from roasted tomato and corn soup to veggie rice bowls (with brown rice, natch). –Ken Miller Green Valley Ranch, 702.617.7075

older generation, too, like Bob Fosse and Fred Astaire, and also bring back 80’s jazz like Paula Abdul. Most revues are either all-female or all-male casts—what was the reason behind featuring both sexes in Rated Red? We wanted to tap into something that was for all audiences. If a man came, they could see beautiful women; if a woman came, she could see beautiful men. I think Vegas was missing that as far as preference—we needed something for all audiences. That’s why the show is male and female, all shapes and all sizes and even different races. Do you think the show is pushing the envelope with having different body types, different displays of love and sex, different dance styles? We are definitely pushing the envelope. AREA15 always pushes the envelope—they want to be different than any other immersive experience or any show that is out there in Las Vegas.

All the Right Moves

Choreographer for ‘Rated Red’ talks shop Jawkeen Howard has a long list of accomplishments when it comes to the world of dance and choreography. As a dancer, he’s performed in Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE and in Cirque’s Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour. As a choreographer, he’s worked with stars including Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and Jill Scott; most recently he helped choreograph the half-time show for the 2022 Pro Bowl at Allegiant Stadium. Howard is also the resident choreographer for AREA15 and choreographed its adults-only show Rated Red. How did you get involved with doing the choreography for Rated Red? I spoke with Kim (Beneville), Winston (Fisher) and Hope (Bellueme) with AREA15. I was

currently choregraphing for their RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13 viewing party, (which) was at AREA15, that they hosted; and I was choreographing for Elliott with 2 T’s. They saw my work with that and they had an idea to create a new-style burlesque show, and asked if I would be interested in choreographing the show and being on the creative team for AREA15. What styles of dance did you focus on for the show? As far as the dancing, I thought it would be nice to bring something different from your normal Las Vegas revue shows, burlesque shows as far as style-wise. I wanted to tap into more of the street jazz, jazz funk and commercial dance. I wanted to draw inspiration from the

What are your favorite vignettes in the show? We should talk about our singer in the show and that particular number. Sophia Monica, the singer—I get a lot of great feedback on her. How she is vocally, the striptease she does, her dancing. I think she’s a triple threat, and that is one of my favorite numbers. The Rated Red band—the sound is amazing how they play that number. We did our own rendition of “Seven Nation Army” with the live singer and the live band. And the number “Rockstar,” because it’s the women-empowerment number with four badass women of all races hitting the choreography with so much confidence. And the pole number because Sarah Johnston brings sexy athleticism, control, strength and dynamic musicality to the pole. Where do you draw your inspiration from as far as the music and dancing and putting it together? I listen to a lot of music. It comes from the lyrics. My day-to-day plans. My relationship with my new husband, Dylin Lujan, he inspires me a lot—my marriage and my love life and how happy I have been. My family inspires me, too. I just put all that in my work. –Kiko Miyasato

Over the Edge

The STRAT, 702.380.7777

At the top of the iconic tower at The STRAT are three thrill rides that will leave you feeling brave and bemused, dazed and confused, all at the same time. The drop tower ride Big Shot, looking like the biggest ring-the-bell game you’ve ever seen, propels its riders straight up at approximately 45 mph from 921 feet to 1,081 feet. No, you can’t wear your flip-flops. The X-Scream emulates the feeling of a roller coaster as a car rolls back and forth on a piece of track. Of course, it’s not exactly the gentlest of motions, and it may just startle you. Then, it’s time to get tipped over the edge—and if that doesn’t freak you out, we don’t know what will. Wait, we do know what will: The arcing arms of the inverted centrifuge ride Insanity, which hangs you 64 feet over the edge of the tower while rapidly spinning (3 Gs). And it’s not even level—you will be spinning at an angle. Oh, sweet geez. All the rides have separate requirements, from age to height, weight and medical restrictions. Bonus thrill points: Jump off the tower. Yes, you can, on SkyJump, a controlled plummet all the way to the bottom, 855 feet down. Chicken out? You? No way. –Nina King

Libation Station Electra Cocktail Club is sleek, sexy and offers some of the best handcrafted cocktails on the Strip. Try ordering from the Zodiac Cocktail Menu. Bartenders have created a special cocktail for each sign of the zodiac. If you’re in town this week celebrating your birthday, then you must be an Aries. The Aries cocktail mixes together Campari, mezcal, Plantation rum, lime and pineapple juices and ginger syrup and ginger candy. You’d be remiss to not try one of Electra’s most-famous cocktails, the frozen Penichillin, with Monkey Shoulder Scotch, smoky Scotch, lemon, ginger and honey. –Kiko Miyasato The Palazzo, 702.607.1950 Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House courtesy photo The STRAT thrill rides photo by Christopher DeVargas Electra Cocktail Club photo by Anthony Mair

Creole at Its Finest Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House, has set the standard for dishes like Creole seafood boil, jumbo lump crab cake, Carolina gold jumbalaya and gumbo, but there’s so much more to enjoy on this menu, which is always being updated and revamped to ensure your return visit is as memorable as the first. Signature cocktails include the Emeril’s Strawberry Lemonade, made with Burnett’s citrus vodka, and the Bardstown bourbon coffee infusion (the bourbon is passed

through medium-roast coffee, orange peels and various spices before being combined with orgeat syrup and chocolate bitters). Start a meal with seared scallop and homemade spaghetti, featuring heirloom tomatoes and pistachio basil pesto, before enjoying delights like fried young chicken, accompanied by cauliflower “rice” hoppin’ John with black-eyed peas and bacon and preserved lemon salsa verde. –Ken Miller MGM Grand, 702.891.7374

The sheer number of items on this local favorite’s menu is truly dizzying, with signature dishes and specialties vying for equal attention.

One of my favorite dishes in Vegas are the potato cakes from Rí Rá Irish Pub—and I literally order them every single time. With mashed potato, cheddar, green onion, sour cream and a balsamic glaze, these appetizers really do get you geared up for another course.

Chicagoan Delight

Steakhouse serves a variety of classics If you want the truly authentic, old-school restaurant experience, there’s a few different ways you could accomplish that: You could head to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or any of the other large cities that launched legendary restaurants; or you could head to Las Vegas, where several outposts of those famous restaurants have replicated, right down to the atmosphere and service you know and love. One of the best examples of this has to be Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar, an immediate hit when it opened, and still one of the top must-visit restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip. Originally opened in Chicago, this version has all the details you’ll look for in a high-end steakhouse—red leather booths, chandeliers, dark woods and even an antechamber where you’ll check in and wait for your table.

3.20.22

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Once you settle into your booth or table, start your evening right with a classic cocktail like the Old Raj Classic, made with Old Raj gin, Dolin Dry vermouth and chartreuse, and Bavette’s Punch, a delicious blend of El Dorado three-year rum, maraschino liqueur and grapefruit. The appetizers here are all equally tempting, but we recommend the tenderloin steak tartare, served with a slow-cooked egg and dijonnaise, the peppered duck and goat cheese terrine, which you can eat on toast, or the baked goat cheese, so flavorful and served with fine herbs and red sauce and a slice of garlic bread to scoop it all up. At a restaurant like Bavette’s, odds are you want to try a steak, and whether it’s a 22-ounce, 42-day dry-aged ribeye or a 16-ounce bone-in filet mignon, you really can’t go wrong here (make

sure to enhance whatever you order with roasted bone marrow or warm king crab Oscar). Plentiful side dishes include truffle mac and cheese, elote-style corn and maple-sweetened thick-cut bacon, practically a main course. There’s also an amazing roasted chicken, served with an olive oil potato purée, and a short rib stroganoff, accompanied by button mushrooms and hand-cut fettucine. But there’s one other highlight here you might not expect—an 8-ounce griddled cheeseburger served with hand-cut fries. Add a farm-fresh egg and thickcut bacon to really put this over the top. The desserts here, like Bavette’s itself, are true classics. I recommend ordering several and sharing, as all are equally excellent, from the lemon meringue pie with an epically high meringue, chocolate cream pie and carrot cake. –Ken Miller Steak photo by Kaitlin Fischer Interior photo by Patrick Michael Chin Dessert photo by Michaella Jelin-Till /Yellow Bird Visuals

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés photo by Chris Wessling O’Sheas and Barbie: A Cultural Icon courtesy photos

There are many creative dishes at Bazaar Meat by José Andrés, but some of the most inventive ones from the chef have to be the cones—bite-sized morsels filled with seafood options, like the Bagels & Lox Cone, filled with salmon roe and dill cream cheese or the Caviar Cone, with crème fraîche, Carelian caviar and chives. For many people, no visit is complete without indulging in at least one. But there are many other reasons to dine here— you’ll find salmon, beef and even tomato tartares, plus carpaccio, sausage and acorn-fed Iberian ham on the starters. And, yes, that ham conveys the taste of acorns. Main entrées lean toward meat (as the name says) in a huge array, with the fire pit items including bone-in strip loin, skirt steak (pictured) and rack of lamb. The origin of each item is noted on the menu. The sides are quite decadent as well: roasted leeks; Brussels sprouts petals with lemon purée and lemon air; buttered potato purée, earning its menu description of “butter, butter, more butter, some potatoes.” –Nina King

What a Doll! Perhaps the most popular toy in history has her own homage in Barbie: A Cultural Icon. It features more than 150 vintage dolls, plus interviews from some of the designers responsible for the dolls. “Barbie has an amazing and inspiring history,” said Tim Clothier, the CEO of Illusion Projects Inc., which partnered with toymaker Mattel to produce the exhibit. “There is a real sense of nostalgia when you see what was happening in the world, and

in Barbie’s world, when you were a kid—and then follow the story to how she’s impacting our world today.” For Barbie fans, the holy grail might be the display with the very first doll that Mattel produced in 1959. The first Barbie Dreamhouse is here as well. As someone who gave her Barbie a haircut and regretted it in all the years after, this glimpse back in time will be welcome indeed. –Nina King The Shops at Crystals, barbieexpo.com

Lead server serenades from the heart Michael Nealy Baker, senior server for Fresco Italiano at Westgate Las Vegas, will bring you out pasta, lasagna and chicken Parm, but he does more than just serve guests at the Italian restaurant. Baker puts on a show, serenading the tables he serves. (This writer got a little taste of Baker’s singing talents and ... wow!) “I always want to excel beyond expectation, giving guests something they’ve never seen before,” he says. “An individual or family can come and sit at the table and order their food, enjoy the cocktails and pay their check and go about their business. But the one thing I’ve always believed in, is giving them an experience that they’ll talk about, bring their friends or family back and say, ‘Hey this is what happens!’ The key is to deliver something they didn’t anticipate at this restaurant.” Baker has a long history of performing: He comes from a performing arts family. There was always music and dancing in his house growing

up in cities including St. Louis, Ill., Flint, Mich., and the Bronx, N.Y. When he got into the food and beverage industry as a server 25 years ago, he also began to serenade his guests. When he transferred to Las Vegas in 2000, he continued using those niche talents at restaurants like Top of the World at The STRAT and Carmine’s at The Forum Shops at Caesars. “I was very blessed and very fortunate to gain a large clientele and was fortunate to get the highest award in Las Vegas for service in 2015,” he says. He began to gain a reputation in the industry—and on Tripadvisor—and Westgate got wind of his talents, hiring him in 2017. “Now I have a crazy amount of requests,” Baker says. “I’ll sing at one table and then I’ve got five behind that. But I want to make it crystal clear—this isn’t about Michael Nealy Baker, no it is not. This is about the Fresco Italiano family. Giving something to all those who walk through our threshold.” –Kiko Miyasato

Eggs Benedict Bagels

From breakfast to brunch and lunch, you’re going to find a lot to appreciate at Sadelle’s, an import from New York City that has been a huge hit ever since arriving here in 2019. The restaurant itself is inviting—lots of Tiffany blue highlights, warm, inviting booths and impeccably appointed tables. The waitstaff is attentive and friendly, and always willing to help you out with any questions. You’ll feel instantly welcome here, especially when you start to sip on classic cocktails like Bellinis, mimosas and Bloody Marys. Breakfast options all stress highest-quality ingredients and fresh flavors. You’ll definitely want to start your experience here with a bagel (your choice between plain, sesame, everything and cinnamon raisin), as Sadelle’s is famous for them—they are produced in-house under the direction of executive sous chef Minesh Mehta. They’re incredibly light and fluffy, a result of the amount of time spent proofing the dough. In addition to cream cheese, be sure to get all the accoutrements, from salmon and cucumbers to tomatoes and capers. Soooo good! One of Sadelle’s biggest sellers is the avocado toast, and for good reason: Avocado is mixed with salt, pepper and lemon juice, on top of which pickled red onions and freshly sliced Fresno peppers and avocado are piled. When you add in sea salt, lemon zest, cilantro

and poppy seeds, you have a flavor bomb that you’ll be reluctant to share. No matter how many times you’ve had French toast, you have never tried anything like Sadelle’s version. Whole loaves of brioche are cut and dried for 24 hours. After that, the pieces are soaked in Sadelle’s signature French toast batter for another 24 hours. After being fried at a low temperature and sliced, each half is caramelized on top. If this doesn’t fit the definition of “comfort food,” we’re not sure what will. Even something as simple as a grapefruit half gets taken up a notch. This version, called grapefruit cocktail,

is given a brûlée top with Sugar in the Raw, caramelized with a blowtorch. For those who love sugar on grapefruit, this is a unique treat. Caviar is used liberally on the menu; enjoy it on any dish (for an additional price). I personally recommend the Bellagio Benedict, topped with Royal Baika caviar from Petrossian. Make sure to plan a return trip for brunch or lunch. The real signature here is the fried chicken, so delicious with its accompaniment of truffle honey, coleslaw and French fries. But as with breakfast, everything on Sadelle’s menu is worth your time.

Inventive Experiences

These venues will leave your tastebuds singing The Las Vegas dining landscape is stacked with familiar flavors that will hit the sweet spot every time, but sometimes you don’t know what you want. Sometimes you want an experimental experience, creative cuisine that pushes the boundaries and introduces something new. One of the newest edgy eateries in town is Anima (702.202.4291) at the Gramercy center in southwest Las Vegas. Coming from the minds of the team behind the popular EDO

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Tapas restaurant, this energetic new dining destination blends Spanish and Italian dishes without sacrificing the integrity of either style. Crispy croquetas, one of the most popular tapas dishes, have flavors of cacio e pepe, while cured tuna sashimi swims in aji amarillo escabeche. You’ll want to explore the charcuterie boards with imported ingredients from both regions, but don’t skip the indulgent pasta dishes like truffle cavatelli with bone marrow or leek ravioli in foie

gras sauce. Anima is cutting-edge—and unlike any other food experience in Las Vegas. For fun fusion on the Strip, look no further than the seminal SushiSamba (702.607.0700) at The Venetian and Palazzo, which has satisfied guests for years with its unique combination of Japanese, Peruvian and Brazilian dishes. Start with the crispy Hokkaido scallops served wrapped in butter lettuce and graduate to vegetable tempura and rich wagyu beef gyoza.

ON AND OFF THE STRIP

@lasvegasmagazine

Large-format dishes such as the over-the-top Moqueca Mista, an assortment of seafood with coconut milk and chimichurri rice, and the Churrasco Rio Grande, Brazilian-style grilled meats with sides and dipping sauces, are a great way to experience exotic flavors with your entire table. Chef Todd English has restaurants at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and at the new English Hotel in downtown Las Vegas, but he has reconceptualized the idea of the food hall with The Beast (725.210.5365) at AREA15. The casual concept in the heart of the immersive entertainment district offers a variety of foods, from Buffalo wings to Korean-style corn dogs and beer-battered fish and chips. The Kraken burger boasts five beefy patties in a shareable monument to the all-American meal, and the Beast Breath Smokehouse menu serves up pepper brisket, St. Louis-style pork ribs, hot links and more. There’s a flavor for every preference at The Beast. Sparrow + Wolf (702.790.2147) in Chinatown has evolved from a neighborhood restaurant into a favorite destination for locals and Vegas visitors. That’s because the menu is always changing in exciting new ways. Currently coming off Sparrow’s wood-fired grill and hearth oven are coal-fired Spanish octopus with chickpea stew, black pepper, and honey Iberico pork with foie gras and roasted plantain, Koji-marinated top sirloin with banchan-style cucumbers, and braised lamb neck with brown butter beans and Parker House rolls. Try the tasting menu if you’re ready to put yourself in the kitchen’s capable hands, or keep it simple and light with cocktails, charcuterie and cheese and the restaurant’s beloved sourdough bread with butter and salt. Back on the Strip, another new experience is blossoming at Resorts World. Caviar Bar (702.676.7936) is definitely dedicated to its titular delicacy, but at its core, this refined eatat-the-bar experience is an elevation of American seafood with incredible ingredients and craftsmanship. You can opt for a traditional caviar service with some of the best product available anywhere, or enjoy it with imaginative small bites like waffles with smoked salmon or shrimp toast. Chilled shellfish, tartares and crudos await, and main selections include Alaskan black cod, handmade gnocchi with Parmesan cream, and Australian wagyu beef grilled to perfection in miso butter with Japanese mushrooms. This Las Vegas bar will make you feel like you’re dining in the lap of luxury. –Brock Radke

Keith Urban brings decades of hits to Caesars Palace

3.20.22

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Keith Urban makes no secret of his fondness for The Colosseum. The four-time Grammy winner had to discontinue his Keith Urban Live—Las Vegas shows due to the pandemic, but was back at the Caesars Palace theater, which has the option of converting the area in front of the stage into a standing-room pit he prefers, for five concerts in September. Urban was happy to make up for lost time by adding March and April dates to his long-scheduled May performances. He followed up announcing his revised schedule with the debut of a video for his latest single, “Wild Hearts,” and a date with wife Nicole Kidman at the Feb. 27 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where Kidman was nominated for her role as Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos. She lost to Jessica Chastain, but the black-clad couple was arguably the most popular subject for the paparazzi. Urban’s profile is as high as ever in a career that began in earnest when he released his debut album in Australia in 1990.

Born in New Zealand, he began playing guitar at an early age and found formative influences in his father’s record collection. Glen Campbell, Charley Pride, Merle Haggard and Don Williams were in heavy rotation at home, and Urban learned from the liner notes of their albums that the recordings were made in Nashville, Tenn. He got his first taste of how audiences react to a performer when drummer Dad took him to a Johnny Cash concert. A move to Nashville in 1992 led to songwriting for the likes of Tim McGraw, playing guitar with Garth Brooks and forming shortlived band The Ranch. Urban released his self-titled U.S. debut in 1999, and his career quickly took off on the strength of No. 1 single “But for the Grace of God” and follow-up “Where the Blacktop Ends.” His sandy, blondestreaked hair and sandblasted jeans made him a heartthrob, but he had the confidence of knowing he had already paid his dues. Urban made regular appearances in Las Vegas at Acade-

my of Country Music Awards ceremonies, picking up a slew of awards and expanding his following beyond the country scene when he became a judge on American Idol. He also strove to blend country music with other contemporary music styles and drum programming. His 2020 album, The Speed of Now Part 1, features Chic’s Nile Rodgers and Pink as well as “Better Than I Am,” a collaboration with Adele producer Eg White that features guitar licks that would make Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfler proud. That song was part of his 20song September setlists, which skewed toward newer material. He fingerpicked some scorching lead on a blonde Telecaster during “You Gonna Fly” at his March 1 gig at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, singing a few lines from Marshall Tucker Band’s “Can’t You See” during the interlude. Expect Urban to dig deeper into his song catalog for The Colosseum, and maybe an appearance in the VIP section by his better half.

Jaida Essence Hall brings her talents to ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!’ 32

3.20.22

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

Jaida Essence Hall is the winner of

702.777.2782

season 12 of RuPaul’s Drag Race and one of four queens who recently joined the rotating cast of the live-in-Las-Vegas version of the popular TV competition program. Since she first hit the stage at the Flamingo Showroom at the heart of the Strip, she’s been dedicated to taking it all in, “opening up to whatever experiences I can have that Vegas can offer me and what I can take from Vegas.” All the performers in this vibrant celebration of a show bring their own unique style and personality, and Hall’s creative spirit is an electric addition to RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!

Have you been enjoying your Las Vegas experience?

It’s been amazing. It’s a lot of work, and this is the first time I’ve done something so big as far as a production show, but it’s been really fun, especially being with all the girls in Drag Race. We’re having so much fun every night, not just onstage but backstage too, and living in Vegas is such a blast. It’s great to be able to see the city off the Strip.

You won on the last season of television’s RuPaul’s Drag Race to be filmed before

the pandemic broke out. How did that affect you?

When our season started (being broadcast), we went out for a couple weeks of bookings, but just weekend shows. It did seem like life was really about to take off because I was out in L.A. and San Francisco and Hawaii, and then slowly everything started to get canceled. I was stuck in L.A. for a week, then I had to come home (to Milwaukee). It was difficult to have expectations from the (TV show) and then, for us, it was obviously not going to be like that, and figuring out what it was going to be after making this show that you dream about and having the dream altered. But obviously the pandemic was something no one has experienced before.

I’m sure that makes the Vegas show that much more meaningful for you.

We got really lucky because the fans love the (TV) show so much, and our season was a really good season and the fans have not forgotten us. We were nervous that we might miss out on that connection because of the pandemic, but thankfully, the fans have not forgotten us and they can still show so much support and love here in Las Vegas.

You have created many of your looks and costumes throughout your career. Is that common for a drag performer?

It is common, but also at the same time kind of not. A lot of queens don’t know how to sew, but there are a lot that do. Sewing has been so instrumental in my drag career, because being able to sit down at a machine and create my own garments, or even just sketching them, that has allowed me to create my own unique identity. Our clothes are like a fingerprint to us and what we do in drag.

What are some of your style inspirations?

Inspiration can come from a million different places, especially in drag, because your image can always change, from something extreme and wild to something subtle. I’ve definitely pulled from fashion magazines and runway shows, but there are also a lot of women that are super inspirational to me, and I pull strength and confidence from them to be confident in the looks I choose. Even when I don’t feel that way I’ve learned to play it up, and that’s part of drag but also part of getting by in the world in general.

Legacy Club

Check out these hot spots to eat, drink and be merry By Kiko Miyasato Circa Resort & Casino was the shining star that Las Vegas needed during 2020. The future looked bright with the opening of the new hotel-casino, the first built from the ground up in downtown since 1980. In its second year, Circa continues to wow guests with its multitude of offerings—from the multistory casino and sportsbook, behemoth pool complex that operates 365 days a year to the excellent

LAS VEGAS MAGAZINE

offerings when it comes to food, drink and entertainment. We’ve picked three of our favorite spots for you to explore.

Besides the obvious highlights of Legacy Club—it’s on the 60th floor, has a spacious rooftop patio and gorgeous views of the valley—the lounge offers some pretty cool bonuses. If

you want a real special evening, book the Sunset Package. You get private seating around one of the fire pits on the patio, two handcrafted cocktails and a champagne toast at sunset. Legacy Club also offers those that love making and learning about cocktails a cool opportunity to do both with its Elevated Spirits Craft Cocktail Course. Guests get the chance to craft three different cocktails, learn the

history behind spirits and cocktails, learn proper cocktail-making techniques and gain knowledge on how to craft your own cocktail recipes.

This restaurant is just a cool place to hang. Project BBQ is situated right along the Fremont Street Experience and features a permanent food truck where guests can order some of the best Carolina barbecue and all the fixings. The picnic-style dining area offers high-top tables where guests can stand up and eat while enjoying all the people-watching action. For a real memorable experience, we suggest ordering Project BBQ’s gigantic Hogstravaganza Platter. (Tip: This is for a large, hungry group). The platter is delivered to your table with lit sparklers. On the platter is a whole roasted pig, Project crackling skins and chips, a whole pineapple, corn on the cob, zucchini, bell peppers, roasted potatoes, coleslaw, limes, a variety of sauces and the Hundred $$Dollar$$ Sandwich (which you can also order on its own). The 2-foot-long sandwich is piled with brisket,

pork and chicken with BBQ sauce, beer and cheese sauce, bacon bits and Project chips.

Circa Bar

While Circa Resort & Casino doesn’t technically have any resident shows at the property, there is some great entertainment. Seek out Circa Bar outside along the Fremont Street Experience. Here you’ll find some cool shows around the clock. Circa Bar is staffed with some of the best flair and dancing bartenders in the city. If you’ve never seen flair bartenders perform, you’ll want to take out your camera and hit record while they flip, toss, balance, stack and shake multiple bottles and tins at once to whip up your cocktail. When not serving up one of the frozen cocktails, the beautiful dancing bartenders get up on top of the bar and perform numbers throughout the day and night.

Every nightclub has that standout VIP table that makes for a memorable party experience By KIKO MIYASATO

There’s no question that Las Vegas has a lock on some of the best nightlife in the world: Multimillion-dollar spaces filled with the latest in interactive technology; world-renowned DJs and the biggest names in music putting on the most unforgettable performances; multiroom experiences, each with their own vibes and amenities; breathtaking designs filled with the finest in textiles and furnishings; and, yes, some of the best VIP tables that a person can buy. Cha-ching! Want to know exactly what table, at what awesome nightclub, is the best seat in the house? We’ve put you in the know by rounding up five stellar choices!

The Cromwell, 702.777.3800 This massive rooftop nightclub and dayclub with both indoor and outdoor spaces, and views up and down the Las Vegas Strip, has drawn some of the biggest names in hip-hop to its large stage. Resident artists and surprise performances have included Wiz Khalifa, Chris

Brown, Future, 2 Chainz, Rae Sremmurd, Migos, Nas, Trey Songz, Lil Wayne and Big Sean. The nightclub is packed with more than 75 primo VIP tables, but if you want to see all the action from every angle and face the stage for those prime performances, book Table 1 (or one of its three identical counterparts) in the middle of the dance floor. Security keeps the general crowd at bay, and each of the tables are spacious enough to host a large party comfortably, with easy access to the restrooms, too.

MGM Grand, 702.891.3838 Five floors of decadence make up Hakkasan. The first two floors make up the famed restaurant, followed by the Ling Ling Lounge and Club, where you’ll hear the best hip-hop beats. It’s on the fourth floor in the nightclub’s main room where you’ll find the largest kinetic light art installation in the U.S.—the Hakkasan Grid. Watching the infinite shapes and colors of the grid as it responds to the DJ’s music is an experience that you don’t want to miss—and you can make

that happen by booking Table 21. This VIP table, right off the dance floor (with easy access to the club’s exits and restrooms), offers better views of the grid than any other vantage point within the main room. And it’s large enough to accommodate big parties.

8.15.21 LAS 3.20.22 LASVEGAS VEGASMAGAZINE MAGAZINE

The Venetian, 702.388.8588 Nearing two decades, this Asianthemed hot spot has drawn an A-list crowd from the world of movies, TV, music, sports and more. It continues to be a top contender in Las Vegas nightlife,

offering a world-renowned restaurant, sexy lounge and nightclub. And since opening in 2005, Tao’s Table 55 has hosted the most celebrities of any other table inside the 40,000-square-foot space—everyone from the Kardashians and the Hiltons to Mariah Carey, LeBron

James, Snoop Dogg, Marcus Allen, Nicki Minaj, Floyd Mayweather, Drake, Bruno Mars, Ryan Lochte, and on and on and on. The table is also in close proximity to the dance floor and the famed bathtub girls, and has perfect views of the DJ booth.

Park MGM, 702.730.7777 Coming in at just 11,000 square feet, On the Record might be the smallest nightclub to enter the Las Vegas nightlife arena, but it packs a mighty powerful punch in its design and décor, musical lineup and its cooler-than-cool throwback to the days of records, boomboxes, garage and house parties and speakeasies. To get the maximum enjoyment from this special venue, head to the main room and its Table 30 in the upper dance floor area next to the water vapor fireplace, affording the best views of the dance floor and DJ booth, as well as the stage. The table also gives your party access to a private karaoke room behind the table.

Caesars Palace, 702.785.6200 Spread across 75,000 square feet of opulence, Omnia’s main room is where you’ll witness the superstar EDM DJs perform, and it’s where you want to park your party for the club’s other mind-blowing spectacle—the 22,000-pound kinetic chandelier that shines while fluidly moving to the beats of the music and morphing into some of the most stunning shapes you’ll ever post to Instagram. And Table 11 is where you’ll be able to capture all the glory of the chandelier—from underneath it. This table is also in close proximity to the DJ booth and, according to the nightclub, “is the table to see and be seen, not only by the guests but by the DJs as well.”
