Remember the last time your family visited the forest? It’s a place of wonder and imagination for the whole family—where stories come to life. And it’s closer than you think. Sounds like it’s time to plan your next visit. Make the forest part of your story today at a local park near you or find one at DiscoverTheForest.org.
Imagine it’s the year 5387 A.D. Archaeologists make a dramatic discovery in the American Southwest, where the Luxor pyramid in The Entertainment Capital of the World was unearthed and found to have a perfectly preserved mezzanine level. They find an Atrium Showroom, guarded by the beautiful Fantasy showgirls and where a mischievous deity named Carrot Top maintained a collection of sacred amusing artifacts. Even after stumbling upon those riches, they are unprepared for the wealth of relics that lay ahead as they explore the chambers inside Discovering King Tut’s Tomb—The Experience
Of the 64 monarchs of Egypt’s New Kingdom buried in the Valley of the Kings, only Tutankhamun’s tomb was left undisturbed by looters. King Tut died young, reigning for roughly 10 years, but images of his likeness are some of the most iconic visual representations of Ancient Egypt. A large-scale representation of his 3,000-year-old golden death mask above the entrance makes locating the attraction e ortless for contemporary explorers.

the first life-sized e gy of the 18th dynasty ruler. The statue wears a nemes headdress, the striped cloth couture worn by pharaohs of Egypt’s Old and New Kingdoms made easily recognizable to viewers of Hollywood films.
The story of Tut’s tomb begins with archaeologist Howard
kingtutvegas.com
Carter, whose persistence paid o , some legends have it, when a 12-year-old water boy named Hussein Hassan Abdel Rassuhl stumbled across rock-carved steps to the tomb on Nov. 4, 1922. Carter and his team broke into an antechamber filled with treasure. They went on to find a
lower-level annex, a sarcophagus and nested co ns of King Tut.
It took them three months to meticulously uncover the mummy itself, but becoming familiar with the features at Discovering King Tut’s Tomb is a far less arduous process. It is possible to peer inside a replicated sarcophagus and look closely at demons, gods and protective symbols depicted on golden shrines much as they would have appeared to Carter himself.
Some artifacts are simple home items. Drinking vessels, tableware and bowls are included along with statues, statuettes and carvings that would have been common items of domestic décor. Sandals and walking sticks the crippled king could have used are part of the collection, as well as a crook and flail a royal would have held to the chest as a symbol of authority. The presence of gold is ubiquitous, from the casing to a polished bronze mirror to models of boats and chariots.

Replications of Tut’s three nested golden co ns and his golden shrine provides climactic dazzle to Imagine Exhibitions’ homage to an archaeological wonder that went undiscovered for 3,000 years and can now be part of anyone’s rediscovery of Las Vegas in general, and Luxor in particular. Enter Discovering King Tut’s Tomb—The Experience, and modern life is left behind with little danger of disturbing an actual mummy or becoming the recipient of a resulting curse.

Jimmy Eat World and Manchester Orchestra amplify each other on their co-headlining tour
Jimmy Eat World and Manchester Orchestra didn’t just agree to support each other on their co-headlining The Amplified Echoes Tour. Each band chose a song from the others’ catalog to cover and release on singles. Jimmy Eat World, Emo’s breakthrough band, covered “Telepath” from Manchester Orchestra’s soaring, sprawling 2021 album The Million Masks of God, while the latter recorded “Table for Glasses” from Jimmy Eat World’s 1999 album Clarity
Appreciation for that album slowly grew after “The Middle” from 2001’s Bleed American made Jimmy Eat World pop-punk superstars, and the danger of

being one-hit wonders was alleviated by follow-up hit “Sweetness.” Both songs became alternative rock radio staples, with the house-party video for “The Middle” going into heavy rotation on MTV and “Sweetness” influencing lyrical hooks for years to come with its catchy “Whoa oh-oh-oh-oh” line.
For a act from Mesa, Ariz., that been signed and dropped by a major label before recording Bleed American on their own, “The Middle” was a hopeful pop-punk paean that resonated with teenagers coping with post-traumatic stress experienced in the wake of 9/11. It was likely played at every house party attended by
future Manchester Orchestra members Andy Hull and Robert McDowell as well.
The two guitarists teamed up in Atlanta with the band’s first lineup, which released a debut album in 2006. Manchester Orchestra’s 2013 album Cope, featuring current bassist Andy Prince and drummer Tim Very, moved the band’s sound in a heavy direction before Hull and McDowell became involved with the soundtrack for 2016 film Swiss Army Man. “Cinematic” became an oft-used adjective to describe subsequent albums A Black Mile to the Surface and The Million Masks of God.
The Valley of Vision, a six-song continuation of the avant-garde, explorative, imagistic, progressive Southern gothic path they’ve been trekking along, was released in March. Adjectives can’t properly evoke the Manchester Orchestra aural experience that fits comfortably in playlists alongside My Morning Jacket, The Smiths, mid-period Pink Floyd and King Crimson’s In the Court of the Crimson King. “The Silence” from Black Mile is a particular favorite of Hull’s and is the song that broke
the band into the mainstream thanks to a 10-minute black-and-white video that went viral and currently has more than 152 million views.
Songs really became suites, or “cool monsters” according to Hull, on that album. Meanwhile “The Middle” marched toward becoming a classic, becoming revived on film soundtracks and a 2016 commercial for Apple Music in which Taylor Swift dances around to the song and sings into her lip gloss brush as she’s getting ready to go out.
Jimmy Eat World reinforced fan devotion with 2004 album Futures and 2007’s Chase This Light, which contained setlist stalwarts such as “Pain” and “Big Casino,” respectively. The resurgence of interest in the emo era via themed club nights and the When We Were Young festival has inspired the band, which consists of the same lineup that recorded Clarity. Frontman Jim Adkins is in good voice as the quartet observes its 30th anniversary by continuing to deliver post-emo rock with incandescent enthusiasm.

Adults-only revue ROUGE provides a scintillating night of sexy variety
Expectations will be high for a show that bills itself as “the sexiest show in Vegas” as ROUGE does. The nightly neo-burlesque show does not disappoint, with a wink and a 20-member cast of really, really, good-looking performers whose costume changes sometimes leave them exposed during their steamy, sensual acts.
Sexualized skits alternate with acrobatic feats and choreography as Dr. Libido, a self-proclaimed “surgeon of sex” dressed in steampunk finery and a white top hat, plays the master of ceremonies for the proceedings.
The good doctor, assisted by buxom Nurse Naughty, seems to have an accent with a New Orleans twang. That and an early sketch set in 18th-century France are aspects of the show most directly tied to its title. That is, the French word for “red” lends itself well to presenting Parisian-style entertainment or Crescent City ribaldry, but ROUGE expands beyond being a modern version of Folies Bergère.
That long-running show at the Tropicana tried to revise its formulas
36 | 7.16.23 Las Vegas Magazine
of showgirls mixed with musical numbers unsuccessfully before closing in 2009. It really needed a complete overhaul to reach the level that ROUGE occupies now. One key element that makes ROUGE click with audiences is the breaking of the barrier between the stage and showroom. Performers with a flair for bondage fashion engage in a different kind of immersion before the show, with some pairing up on platforms for erotic entanglements and others mingling with guests. Sometimes they get very close, but like most of their professional peers, ROUGE cast members are
good at reading the crowd for those who might be amenable to a close encounter. The same applies to Dr. Libido, who chooses a few audience members to flirt with and lightly embarrass throughout the show. There are participation segments once the crowd is warmed up from all the heat coming from the stage. The action is augmented by large video screens at the side of the stage that provide close-ups of the gorgeous cast members. Strap acts have been done before, but never in a tantalizing tandem that ends with both performers forming a star with their bodies. “Light My Fire” kicks
off a soundtrack that includes Nina Simone’s version of “I Put a Spell on You,” which captures the sophisticated spirit ROUGE exudes throughout the various acts of acrobatic strength and gravity-defying choreography.
There are beautiful bodies everywhere. There are transfixing acts such as a siren splashing in an oversized martini glass, hand balancers and full-cast dance routines. And there are costumes, some of which leave little to the imagination, others that evoke laughter.
ROUGE creator Hanoch Rosènn combined his experience developing previous productions Extravaganza and WOW—The Vegas Spectacular with “sexpertise” to evolve a concept of risqué variety show as adult playground, the foundation for what could indeed be the sexiest show in Vegas. How successful that realized vision turned out is a matter for the eyes of the beholders.

Soul of Motown is one of the most popular musical tribute shows in Las Vegas, and the undeniable onstage chemistry between Sean Stewart Godfrey and Brandon Godfrey is a big part of the show’s success. The two talented singers were married in 2020 after launching the show with their castmates at the Westgate Cabaret in 2019, a rollicking tour through some of the most beloved music in American history that will have you dancing in the aisles. It’s a can’t-miss production, but it hits an emotional peak when these artists duet.
WAS THERE AN INSTANT SPARK WHEN YOU FIRST MET BACK IN 2018 WHILE PERFORMING IN TENNESSEE?
Brandon: When I first came in for the audition and saw her onstage, I just thought, she is beautiful. The whole night, I could care less about the other guys performing. I was in another show at the time and had to drive back to Virginia, and I told my friend that night that there’s this girl in the show, and that’s gonna be my girl. But I had to bide my time.
Sean: It was six months before I had any idea whatsoever. Everybody else seemed to be in on the secret but me!
Brandon and Sean Stewart Godfrey’s energy helps give ‘Motown’ its soul
By Brock Radke
38 | 7.16.23 Las Vegas Magazine
WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE ONSTAGE TOGETHER PERFORMING THOSE CLASSIC DUETS?
Brandon: You don’t realize what type of energy you exude. With us, there’s always been a connection that reads well to the audience.
Sean: Because we’re married, we gel perfectly onstage. It works for us, and it’s funny, because we had chemistry to begin with. Even before we were together, people who knew nothing about us would come up and talk to us, thinking we’re together.
IT’S CLEAR THAT YOU LOVE PERFORMING TOGETHER, AND I’M SURE IT HELPS THAT THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST FAMILIAR FEEL-GOOD MUSIC OF ALL TIME.
Sean: It gets no better. Motown has the ability to bring you out whatever you’re feeling. It can shift your spirit.
Brandon: There’s a timbre, a sound that Motown brings, a beat that Motown brings, and it just makes you feel something. That’s the feeling Motown was going for back in its time. There was a lot going on, those were tough times. Motown makes you forget about everything that’s going on and says, I’m here for a good time. It exudes love.
WHAT SETS SOUL OF MOTOWN APART FROM OTHER CONCERT-STYLE MUSICALS IN LAS VEGAS?
Sean: A lot of other shows are doing impersonations or other things to take you back to that era. The thing we love about this show is we can bring our own twist to it, individualize it to give our own perception of that song. It’s a modern Motown concert, a tribute to the artists from our hearts.
DO YOU HAVE FAVORITE TRACKS YOU STILL LOVE TO SING?
Brandon: “Tracks of My Tears” is probably my favorite. It’s a classic and it tells a story, and I’m a big theater person. It’s a pretty song to stand and sing, but when you get the story and the emotion behind the song, you feel like you’ve never heard it that way before.
Sean: There are some (songs by) artists that were not Motown artists. Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” will always be my favorite song, and it was originally done by Dolly Parton, who is from Tennessee, my home state.

Luxurious Surroundings
Home in The Ridges at Summerlin merges art and nature
Las Vegas is home to many luxurious master-planned communities, ones that offer the highest-quality homes, amenities and spectacular views of the valley and its surroundings. (One thing you quickly learn about buying homes here: Views come at a premium.)
One of the best examples of these is The Ridges in Summerlin, a guard-gated, master-planned community close to Red Rock Conservation Area. And a property has recently become available there, a sprawling estate that has the finest options you could imagine.
Listed by Ivan Sher of IS LUXURY, this 12,991-square-foot, five-bedroom, eight-bedroom, two-story home has plenty of room for even the largest families.
Everything about this home, designed and built by Marmol Radziner, screams attention to

detail. You’ll find a five-car garage, so you can bring your entire fleet with no worries. Fine art, exquisite design and unparalleled architecture are everywhere you look. Start with the commercial-grade steel and concrete construction, which create about as solid a foundation as you could imagine. But then add in floor-to-ceiling windows and it’s almost impossible to find a space throughout this massive home that isn’t naturally lit.
The overall feeling you get from this home is one of space; every
room has plenty of space to stretch out, and that includes the bedrooms, all of which are spaced for maximum privacy.
There’s so much to enjoy, you won’t know where to start. The centerpiece is the Italian Scavolini kitchen, featuring the finest fixtures and top-of-the-line appliances. Keep going and you’ll find an indoor basketball court (no disturbing neighbors with late-night pickup games!), media room for a next-level cinematic experience, wine cellar, and, most eye-grabbing of all, a
James Turrell Skyspace—this sanctuary merges art and nature for an ultra-relaxing experience.
Head outdoors to enjoy almost 1.5 acres of impeccably landscaped grounds, panoramic views of the Strip, golf course and nearby mountains. And by all means, take advantage of all The Ridges has to offer, from golf to an elaborate trail system. –Ken Miller
