LADY LAIRS
(Wade Vandervort/Sta )
Construct your own she shed (see page 16)
Women are converting sheds into she sheds , where they can work and relax in solitude
BY JESSIE O’BRIEN
She sheds are small havens for women who need a place to work, create or nd some solitude without having to travel further than their backyard.
Las Vegas resident Alexandra Balassy, who moved to the United States from Germany, runs her documentation business from her shed. She specializes in citizenship paperwork for a prominent immigration lawyer and occasionally does con dential work that requires privacy—hard to get in a full house with family and regular guests from Deutschland.
The solution? A 196-square-foot she-sanctuary from Tu Shed.
“I had calls from all over the world, [sometimes] early in the morning. My husband wanted to sleep. It’s why I really enjoy having this place for myself,” she says.
The trend of converting tool sheds into cozy lioness lairs took o during the pandemic when people had time for projects and needed space. Converted sheds remain popular now that 35 percent of people do some or all of their work from home, according to recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
“Opposed to having an o ce in your home, you have a dedicated place for work or hobbies, but you don’t have the distractions of actually being in your house,” says Jeremy Nova, co-founder of Studio Shed, high-end supplier of prefabricated backyard spaces and accessory dwelling units.
Though women use their lady caves for reasons beyond work. Balassy also likes to read, relax and brainstorm in a space that’s decorated with things she loves, like a large Buddha light and shelves for her books.
Another Vegas resident, Ann Lee, uses her Key West-style bungalow, inspired by Lee’s love of the Florida island city, to host events like fundraisers, cookie exchanges, parties and game nights. The shed also has a projector and surround sound for the occasional movie night.
Nova said people go the shed route because they’re easier to build than additions and remodels.
“You’re not cutting into existing walls or tying in existing roof,” he says. “It’s a cost-e cient way to add nished square footage to a property while avoiding the hassle of permitting.”
Clark County requires a permit for anything over 200 square feet, so most are just under that size.
Cost-wise, Lowe’s sells kits for around $5,000 to $8,000. Balassy and Lee’s spaces both cost around $22,000. Studio Shed units are anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 and take about a week to complete, including building the foundation. Nova says people can install their own Studio Sheds to save money, but it takes more than a Phillips head and some duct tape.
“You have to be somewhat handy,” Nova says. “It’s not putting together an IKEA co ee table, but it’s not like building a home, either.”
Lee’s husband, Lenny, an engineer, custom-designed and built everything (except for the concrete foundation) in his downtime over the space of a few years.
Balassy’s handyman husband, Soeren, built her she den.
“It took him weeks to get it done. It was so much work done with so much love that is very much appreciated by me.”
CONSTRUCTING A SHE-QUARTERS IN 5 STEPS
For the daring DIYers, here’s the easiest way to construct your very own she shed, with tips from Lowe’s home improvement store manager Gary McCoy.
FOR A VINYL SHED
THE STEPS
STEP 1
• Caulk gun
• Rubber mallet
• Tape measure
• Cordless drill
• Drill bits
Prep
STEP 2
FOR A WOOD SHED
• Tape measure
• Hammer
• Drill
• Screwdriver
• Screws
• Roofing shingles
• Felt (for waterproofing)
• Windows
• Doors
• Gable
• Pre-built roof panels
To get started, consider the size, style and location of your shed. Pick a flat spot so it’s easier to lay the foundation. Then, clear the area of any debris and rocks. Keep in mind you need government permits for electrical outlets, heating, AC, plumbing, or building a structure more than 200 square feet in size.
Build the foundation
STEP 4
Customize
Once your shed is standing, make it your own. Are you making a yoga studio, a meditation space, a music room? It’s time to add the accoutrements.
STEP 3
Build your kit
McCoy says the foundation is the most important component of building a level shed that will last. Use concrete slabs with sill plates for larger sheds, or four-byfours on masonry blocks for a smaller structure.
STEP 5
Add a patio or deck
Kits come with detailed instructions on how to build the walls, adding the roof, installing doors and windows, adding trim and finishing with shingles. It’s helpful to read them and follow them closely.
“Prioritizing natural light and strong ventilation will help a she shed feel more like a personal oasis and less like a storage space, typically meant for tools and gear,” McCoy says. “If you want to make your she-quarters feel even more bright and airy, you can switch out the standard windows and doors for expansive skylights and larger French doors.”
McCoy says outdoor upgrades like lattice skirting adds extra personality. You can also make a deck with a small platform on masonry blocks to create an outdoor area and extend your she-shedding activities to outside.

THE TOOLS
When we’re feeling under the weather, down or otherwise out of sorts, we turn to soup to help bring us back up. The ultimate comfort comes in the form of a steaming hot bowl. And lucky for us, Las Vegas o ers a variety of restaurants pro ering hearty, restorative options. Here are a few of our favorites.
Shang’s beef noodle soup hits like an internal hug. Hours of braising have turned the chunks of brisket into exquisitely tender bites, falling apart in a deep red, rich and meaty broth. The handpulled or knife-cut noodles are your ticket to absorbing all that avor, and don’t skip the bok choy that oats above the tangle of noodles, inviting you to break up the richness with its crisp texture. It’s a full-bodied bowl of comfort that’ll put you right again. $19, multiple locations, shangartisannoodle.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez
CARNE EN SU JUGO AT LA VECINDAD
When it comes to flavor, this Guadalajara favorite dethrones most traditional stews. Simmering its meats in tomatillo sauce, serrano peppers and spring onion for tangy, salsa-like consistency, carne en su jugo shocks the palate in the tastiest way possible. Pinto beans and crispy bacon build upon an already wonderful marriage of textures to the point where this hearty meal becomes something you savor rather than slurp. $19, 953 E. Sahara Ave. #E-27, lavecindadlv.com. –Amber Sampson
TOM KHA KAI AT WEERA THAI
Chicken soup is universally recognized as a remedy for whatever you’re going through, but this version at one of the Valley’s top Thai restaurants o ers a knockout punch of avor to match its possibly medicinal properties. Tons of lemongrass and ginger lay the groundwork; fresh veggies like tomatoes, onions and mushroom boost each beautiful bite; dashes of sh sauce multiply the savory factor; and coconut milk makes the rest of your day a silky smooth ride. Even if you’re dining at Weera alone, we recommend ordering the large hot pot of this stu ; you’ll want more when you get home. $14-$21, multiple locations, weerathai. com. –Brock Radke
You come to Herbs and Rye for the cocktails, you stay for the tomato bisque. This velvety, creamy and downright dreamy appetizer—paired with a buttery grilled cheese—has comfort written all over it. Drizzled in a savory basil oil, this soup secures points for its rich aromatics and smooth consistency. But it’s the grilled cheese dunking—that salty clash of toasted bread and tangy tomato—that makes this an undisputed cold weather duo worth relishing. $15, 3713 W. Sahara Ave., herbsandrye.com.
–Amber Sampson
Underscoring Ramen Boys’ most popular dish is its savory fusion of chicken and pork broth. That union delivers a well-balanced ratio of creamy thickness to a bowl which could otherwise be overpowered by richness or understated by too light of a texture. It’s instantly warming and almost toe-curlingly good. Tender cuts of chashu pork, supple and savory, also soak up all that umami flavor, winding together with springy noodles, soy-cured egg and the pleasant crunch of green onion. $18, 3650 S. Decatur Blvd. #3, bumbybox.com. –Amber Sampson

Some AVN attendees passing on event due to Virgin Hotels strike
Promoting yourself at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, the industry’s largest trade show, is no cheap task.
When not backed by a company, independent performers shell out thousands to get to Las Vegas, book a hotel and set up a booth with merchandise.
It’s one of the most important weeks of the year in the industry, especially when it comes to networking with other professional creators.
But some models are considering skipping this year’s event and awards show due to the strike from Culinary Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, which is hosting the event for the first time since 2020, when the property was known as the Hard Rock Hotel.
Alana Evans, an inductee into the AVN Hall of Fame, already had appearances booked for the expo when she learned of the strike. And as president of the first federally recognized union for adult entertainers, she’s not crossing the picket line.
The union’s o cers voted unanimously to support the Culinary strike.
“My fans can meet me outside
on the picket line,” Evans told the Las Vegas Sun. “They can come outside and get pictures with me there. I’ll sign their autographs for free ... to show solidarity for the Culinary workers.”
The union president is one of a growing list of adult entertainers who shared on social media that they won’t come to AVN unless the strike was resolved by the time the expo opened on January 22. Most blamed Virgin Hotels for the strike, which started in mid-November.
“A lot of people who are involved in sex work also are waiters, are waitresses, are people in housekeeping,” said Sasha Bee, an organizer with the transgender-led Sex Worker Action Alliance. “So I don’t think that Virgin Hotels understand that we are connected in our struggle.”
While AVN wouldn’t provide comment to the Sun, Virgin Hotels o cials wrote that the property is “excited” to host the show and looks “forward to providing exceptional service to the thousands of guests attending the expo, events and award shows.”
O cials emphasized that
Virgin’s attempts to resolve the strike, most recently through a third party, have been shot down by the Culinary Union. The union publicly responded that it never settled a strike through arbitration.
Virgin’s invitation to come back to the negotiating table “remains standing,” Virgin ocials told the Sun. The most recent o er from Virgin amounts to a 30-cent increase in hourly wages each year of a five-year contract, union o cials said.
Culinary has embraced the adult entertainers’ support online, reposting many of the models announcing they won’t come. It’s not just minor accounts, either, with some having over 100,000 followers.
Ted Pappageorge, the union’s secretary-treasurer, thanked Evans’ Adult Performance Artists Guild (APAG) for its vote.
“Workers across industries share the same fight for dignity, fair pay, respect and protections,” Pappageorge said this month. “Culinary Union is proud to stand with APAG in solidarity as strikers continue to take on a billionaire-owned company that refuses to treat workers fairly.”

Group transforming MGM Grand dayclub
Hopefully Las Vegas dayclubbers took the time to say goodbye to the landmark, 16-year-old Wet Republic Ultra Pool last summer, because Tao Group Hospitality is turning the MGM Grand venue into something new. Palm Tree Beach Club, a collaboration with entertainment and hospitality company Palm Tree Crew (created by musicians Kygo and Myles Shear), is set to open in the renovated 60,000-square-foot outdoor space this May. The new club will feature a ground-level stage, 12 bungalows and 10 cabanas, a salt water pool and space for more than 3,000 guests—making it one of the biggest dayclubs on the Strip. –Brock Radke
Report: Ruffin plans to sell Circus Circus
Billionaire Phil Ru n is looking to sell Circus Circus and its prime real estate on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, he told Forbes in an interview published January 17.
Ru n bought the property for $825 million in late 2019, just over $1 billion in today’s money, and told the magazine it’s now worth $5 billion. He added that “there is interest” in the property.
“It’s the best piece of land on the West Coast,” he said. “It’s got the highway, it’s got the Sahara, it’s got 2,000 feet on the Strip, and it’s the last Strip property. And 102 acres is just a massive amount of land—you can almost build a city on it.”
Ru n told Forbes he is looking to buy another property on the Strip once he sells Circus Circus but is open to ventures outside Nevada.
“Why do you think I bought Circus Circus? For the 102 acres,” he told the magazine. “That’s the land play. Remember what I did at the Frontier, how the value of the land went crazy—here it’s going crazier.”
Ru n bought the Frontier in 1998 for $167 million. A decade later, he sold it for about $1.2 billion, an over five-fold increase in value after adjusting for inflation. He also owns Treasure Island, which he bought in 2009 for $775 million.
The billionaire is close friends with President Donald Trump, donating millions to his presidential campaigns and co-owning Trump Tower Las Vegas with him. –Kyle Chouinard
CRITICAL CARE
Experts weigh in on Nevada’s severe doctor shortage, and what can be done to fi x it
BY SHANNON MILLER
Nevada ranks close to last in the nation when it comes to its ratio of physicians to residents. According to data published by the American Association of Medical Colleges in 2021, Nevada had only 218.5 physicians per 100,000 people, ranking it 45th for active physicians per capita. Additionally, Nevada ranked 48th for primary care physicians and 49th for general surgeons.
Dr. Marc Kahn, dean of the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, says the issue is critical as Nevada’s physician workforce and growing population ages.
“We have a primary care shortage, we have a mental health provider shortage. … We’re short in everything here,” Kahn says. “There’s some urgency, because if we’re going to provide the level of health care that we should provide, we’re going to need more health care practitioners. And the only way is to grow your own or import.”
Federally funded residencies
Nevada’s shortage of doctors stems from a lack of residencies, three to ve-year training programs that are required for medical students to become practicing physicians. Kahn says students who complete their residency in Nevada have an increased chance of staying and practicing in the state.
Administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and funded by the federal government, residencies are “undersubscribed” in Nevada, Kahn says.
“The federal government froze those positions in 1997 when we were a very di erent state. To put things into perspective, the state of Nevada has about 403 federally funded residency positions, compared to states like California that have 9,000, or states like New York that have over 17,000,” he says.
U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., has urged the Department of Health and Human Services to take action to award more residency slots to the state. In a letter she sent to Secretary Xavier Becerra in November 2024, Rosen referenced 600 available graduate medical education residency slots, saying that Nevada should receive an “equitable distribution” of those.
“To date, of the 1,000 new medical residency slots Congress made available nearly four years ago, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has only allocated a small number to Nevada, which have not su ciently kept up with the pace of our state’s surging population growth,” Rosen wrote, adding that Nevada has been the fastest growing state in the nation from 2000 to 2023.
Although Nevada’s federal delegation is continually trying to move the needle and get more federally funded residency programs in the state, Kahn says he’s “not optimistic” that that will happen any time soon.
State-funded residencies
In the meantime, state o cials have a few options to shore up Nevada’s health care workforce. For one thing, they can follow the example of other states like Texas by using state money to create residency programs for graduate medical students at Nevada’s public medical schools—UNLV and the University of Nevada, Reno’s (UNR) medical school. Gov. Joe Lombardo in his January 15 State of the State address pledged to “double” the state’s investment in graduate medical education.
Currently, UNLV’s medical school has 12 graduate medical education residency programs and 15 fellowship programs, which
typically take two years and are done after students have completed a residency. UNR’s medical school has four residency programs and ve fellowship programs.
“We say provide $20 million to fund residency programs. What we’ve asked is to give each of the two state public medical schools $5 million a year each year for the biennium, for which we will create ve new residency programs in ve years,” Kahn says.
Student loan repayment programs
Another means of addressing the doctor shortage is focusing on student loans. Kahn says the average medical student graduates with over $200,000 per year in debt, “so loan repayment is a way of attracting physicians to our state.”
Earlier this month, Nevada Treasurer Zach Conine announced the launch of the Nevada Health Equity & Loan Assistance program, aimed at bringing additional healthcare providers to underserved communities across the state. The result of a law passed in the 2023 legislative session, the program will give health care providers up to $120,000 in student loan repayment in exchange for a commitment to serve in rural and underserved urban communities in Nevada for at least ve years, according to a news release.
To be eligible, providers must be residents of Nevada and be licensed, certi ed or registered to practice in Nevada. Applications for the loan repayment program will close on February 13. More information and the application is available at nevadatreasurer. gov/HEAL/
Streamline Nevada’s licensure process
While state-funded residencies and loan repayment programs can help Nevada grow its health care workforce from within, more can be done to bring doctors in from out of state, experts say. Dr. Pedro “Joe” Greer, founding dean of Roseman University College of Medicine, said his process of becoming licensed in Nevada was “onerous” and would accept only hard copies of documents, rather than electronic documents.
“The problem to me is more a systemic problem in Carson City, because what you need to do is facilitate a program that can get people licensed, especially people who are already licensed in other states,” he says. Kahn says when he applied for licensure during the pandemic, it took seven months to
complete the process. He calls Nevada’s medical licensure process “cumbersome” and “laborious,” and suggests streamlining it.
“If someone is board-certi ed in a specialty, the only way to get there is they need to have graduated medical school, passed all their tests, completed a residency program and completed a test to get board-certi ed in that residency program. [It] seems to me, if somebody is board-certi ed and has an acceptable malpractice review, they ought to at least be able to get a temporary license,” Kahn says. “Rather, what the state does is, it requires every applicant to provide all that information up front, even though there’s no way they could be board-certi ed without any of that. And things get lost in the mail, and there are delays, and things are asked for that weren’t being asked for upfront.”
Strengthen higher education pipelines
Perhaps the best way to solve Nevada’s longstanding doctor shortage is to strengthen the state’s higher education pipelines and create pathways for all students to be able to become doctors. Greer, who previously served as associate dean for community engagement at Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine in Miami, says Roseman is under review to receive preliminary accreditation as a medical school.
“If we get accredited in February, that means you’ll have four medical schools,” Greer says, naming UNLV, UNR and Touro University as the state’s existing medical schools.
He adds that, on average, less than 400 students apply to medical school every year in Nevada. “We have to increase that,” he says, pointing to Roseman’s pathway programs that have partnered with schools from elementary to college level to encourage students who might not see medical education as a viable pathway for them.
“One of the strategies we’re looking at at Roseman is going after rst-generation students. And the reason is very simple. First-generation students, from our experience with the last medical school we started in Miami, tend to come home,” Greer says. “They’re the rst ones in their family that have the opportunity for generational wealth. And they feel much more comfortable in their home environment, and can help out their own family. So we need to start recruiting from that perspective, too.”
NIGHTLIFE
LOUD LUXURY
BY GABRIELA RODRIGUEZ
Las Vegas Strip nightlife is a sprawling buffet rich with options. Caspian’s Rock & Roe at Caesars Palace, Clique Hospitality’s latest venue, checks all the right boxes; it’s got swagger, style and caviar. Whether you’re a rocker looking to get in where you fit in or someone who likes their booze stirred with a splash of refinement, this place can be your sweet spot.
Walking up to Caspian’s, located at the former Cleopatra’s Barge space off the main casino floor, you’re immediately pulled in by its horseshoe-shaped bar. The cocktail menu is full of heavy hitters— you can always rely on a well-poured espresso martini or a smoky old fashioned (both $23), but the showstoppers are the experimental sips. The “Fig”ure Of Your Imagination ($23) is a playful mix of Maker’s Mark, Cointreau, fig and honey. And if your cocktail mix motto is “the more, the merrier,” try the Feet in the Sand ($23), a tropical concoction made with coconut-washed Patron, banana liqueur, orgeat, lemon, lime, pineapple bitters and
From caviar and cocktails to live music, Caspian’s brings a decadent edge to Caesars Palace
a toasted coconut sugar rim. It’s a vacation in a glass. The real indulgence lies not in the drinks, but in the bites. Caspian’s doesn’t just throw out your average bar snacks. This is caviar territory, with four different types including Imperial Golden Osetra, which can be enjoyed in its purest form or served up on crispy potato latkes ($24) or on a waffle with crème fraîche ($21).
Even if you’re here just for a taste, the designated “bump bandits” stay armed with canisters of the goods while traversing the area, ready to spoon up a serving onto your hand between your thumb and forefinger.
Now that you’ve crushed a cocktail and those fish eggs, you’re ready for the best part. Behind a portrait of this ship’s captain you’ll find Caspian’s crown jewel: its live music speakeasy. It’s hard not to feel like you’re part of something special when you’re in this intimate space— an Art Deco dream with plush seating, moody lighting, a stage big enough to fit a full band but small enough to allow crowd in-
teraction, and a chandelier that sparkles rays of gold and blue.
You can’t miss the massive mural of a red-haired mermaid looming over partygoers as the house band cracks out karaoke classics, setting the tone for letting loose. Of course, no visit would be complete without paying respect to the space’s history.
For decades, Cleopatra’s Barge offered vintage entertainment
and atmosphere, and its history of hosting legendary performers folds into the Caspian’s experience. The transition feels less like a reinvention and more like an evolution—a new chapter in this spectacle’s story.
In the end, Caspian’s Rock & Roe is a nightlife affair worth checking out. It’s a riot of flavors, sounds, and energy, all held together by a rebellious spirit.

Frank Nicotero grew up immersed in the pop culture worlds of comedy and sports—not an uncommon pairing. But the lifelong fan of the art of standup and the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers also had some early exposure to sports betting.
“I remember the Super Bowl between Miami and San Francisco (on January 20, 1985) and I bet the kid next to me at the lunch table $15, back when $15 was a lot of money for a kid,” he recalls with a chuckle. “But I thought, let’s make it interesting, so we also bet a dollar for every point di erential in the nal score.
“Of course, the 49ers blew out the Dolphins, and I had to give the kid $34. That was my Christmas money. I learned a hard lesson, which is gambling isn’t fun when you lose.”
Today, Nicotero is coming up a winner at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas. After 35 years as a touring stand-up comedian and memorable stints hosting TV game shows like Street Smarts, he moved from LA to Vegas in 2023 to launch Punch Lines, a webcast rmly planted at the intersection of comedy and sports, streaming live ve days a week from the South Point Studio.
“It literally came up out of the blue, and it went fast, as most things do in this crazy world of showbiz,” he says. “But we’ve been able to keep growing. The show’s getting better, we’re constantly tweaking it, and our roster of guests been amazing.”
Nicotero and rotating cohosts Alex White, Matt Neverett and Je Parles have chatted with sports legends like Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Sean Salisbury, Greg Vaughn and Brendan Gaughan, and come-
dians such as Bob Zany, Butch Bradley, Luenell and Murray Sawchuck. And betting experts like South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews, Vinny Magliulo and Jimmy Vaccaro are in the mix as well.
“We don’t do game highlights, we like nding those viral videos or fan footage that really sticks with people—that’s the stu I put on Punch Lines, stu we can ri o of,” Nicotero says. “It’s de nitely about nding the fun and the comedy.”
Clearly, there’s no better place for him to do it than Las Vegas, perhaps the hottest place in the country when it comes to sports and comedy. “It’s a great place to be right now, and I really like having a ve-day-aweek job, which I never thought I’d say,” he says. “I eat breakfast now. I don’t think I started eating breakfast until I was 40.”
That’s the comedian’s schedule, but the best part is Nicotero talks sports and betting during the day and still makes time for stand-up sets at night. He’s popped up all over, but spent a lot of stage time at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand, Jimmy Kimmel’s at the Linq Promenade, and the Wiseguys venues. He’ll perform at Delirious Comedy Club at Hennessy’s Tavern Downtown on January 24, and at Paymon’s on West Sahara January 29.
“It’s a great community, as far as stand-up. Comedians are a unique fraternity. Sometimes in this business, there are just some people who aren’t nice, but comedians are really good to each other,” Nicotero says. “We all know how hard it is to get started and to pay your dues, a lot of one-nighters. And it’s like that at the South Point—everyone I work with, we all hang out socially.”

Get ready to explore the new Tamba at Town Square, an innovation on Indian cuisine
BY BROCK RADKE
Las Vegas has never seen an Indian restaurant like the new Tamba at Town Square—and that includes the original Tamba.
A longtime Strip staple located at the former Hawaiian Marketplace retail center, Tamba was first opened in 2003 by Sunny Dhillon, who grew up working in his parents’ restaurants, including Gandhi on Paradise and Flamingo. Tamba was a traditional Indian restaurant that eventually shifted its focus to catering for special events.
“Every wedding the casinos had, when their Indian clients came into town, we were the ones to call and we helped them craft that experience,” Dhillon says.
When the demise of the Hawaiian Marketplace became imminent, there were no plans to bring Tamba back to life, but Dhillon’s father wanted the family to continue its restaurant legacy, and that inspired a new mission.
“We’d seen 10-12 Indian restaurants open [after Tamba] but the massive miss in all of it, even nationally, is that everybody buys the same thing and does the same thing— the same spice profile from Restaurant
Depot, the same proteins, the same sauces. We wanted to be really different,” Dhillon explains.
The vision came to life in December with a new, luxurious dining destination: an 80seat dining room plus 60-seat lounge known as Bar Jadu; a strong emphasis on innovative cocktails with an Indian-inspired program created by bar director Giuseppe Gonzalez; and a bold, modern menu anchored by executive chef Anand Singh, who Dhillon recruited from the acclaimed Arbol in Cabo San Lucas.
Building the restaurant took 28 months, “and it was very meticulously done in every design aspect,” Dhillon says. “It was one of the most insane mechanical builds, because there are five [cooking vent] hoods running through three stories carrying charcoal smoke. The kitchen is stocked with worldclass equipment, Josper ovens where we bake large format dishes of octopus and cauliflower and New York Strip Wagyu.
“The idea was to give our talent enough equipment that there would be no excuses, and the versatility of their skill set can be fully used.”
The combination of a fine-dining atmo-

sphere—seldom seen at Town Square—and a fresh take on Indian cuisine has been causing a bit of a buzz, and that’s what the team wants; Dhillon says his goal is to make the list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, something no local venue in a casino or otherwise has yet achieved.
The Tawa charred octopus ($34), served with cauliflower puree, beetroot, fennel, yuzu lime chat aioli and Amaranto eel sauce, is the top seller so far, with the Angara Wagyu ($100) not far behind. But those flashy shareable options are not the only way to go at Tamba, which also has wok section on the menu including Hakka noodle stirfry ($24) and lobster fried rice ($42).
Charcoal and live fire dishes are the heart of the menu, including lemongrass fish tikka ($30) and Morita Murgh ($28), chicken thigh kebabs flavored with guajillo chile served with butter chat masala and harissa garlic hummus. There’s also raw bar and sushi dishes, and traditionalists will find their favorites like samosa chaat ($22), and a selection of curries and biryani and, of course, naan bread.
“We’ve had nothing but the best reviews coming in … and that was the intention,” Dhillon says. “Let’s try to do something extraordinary in the city we’ve represented for so long, a high level of food accessible to real people who don’t have to go through the politics of casinos.”
PETITE BOHEME MAKES A BIG, HOSPITABLE IMPRESSION
Complementary bar snacks? In this economy? It’s true: During recent visits to Petite Boheme—a new, French-inspired cocktail bar from Esther’s Kitchen founder James Trees and managing partner Keith Bracewell—our every round was accompanied by a dish of salt-and-vinegar almonds (or cashews), cubes of fresh watermelon or some nice, briny olives. It’s just one of the many ways that this little bohemian bar, hidden behind Trees’ soon-to-open French restaurant Bar Boheme, resets Vegas hospitality to what it should be. No: to what it always should have been.
The cocktails, mostly priced at $16, are expertly made and bodacious in flavor. Try the Metro de Paris, a rum-based beverage with Amontillado sherry wine and a bit of Nocino, a bittersweet walnut liqueur. Or the wonderful Madame Souza,
an anise-forward gin drink with Herbsaint and Fontbonne. Or the J’accuse, a great cold weather tipple of bonded apple brandy, amaro and absinthe; its Reels-friendly preparation involves the bartender setting the glass aflame and pouring the cold drink into it. We’re still working our way through the drink menu, and happy to be so. Coming to Petite Boheme is a real pleasure. Its tucked-away location, Banksy and Basquiat-inspired murals and chain fence that’s beginning fill with relationship padlocks makes one feel like they’ve stumbled onto something rare. That’s because you have, and hopefully, it’ll inspire others to do better. –Geoff Carter

KILLING IT FOR THE THRILL
Hometown star Berkeley Oblad treasures her global volleyball journey winding up back where it started
BY CASE KEEFER
At one of her first practices as a professional volleyball player, Berkeley Oblad’s coach drew up a play on a clipboard and went into detail about what he wanted.
Oblad couldn’t understand any of it. That’s because the coach was speaking Hungarian.
“I was like, well, I hope this is the same volleyball because I’m just going to go out there and play how I know to play,” Oblad recently recalled.
The Coronado High School and University of Utah graduate spent her rookie season in Kaposvar, Hungary, a town two hours south of Budapest with a population about a third of her Henderson hometown.
The 27-year-old’s path isn’t all that different from the scores of the best American volleyball players who for decades have been forced to go overseas if they want to continue their athletic careers.

But that could be ending as the United States-based Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) stages its second season domestically. Oblad has played in the league since the beginning and is back again as one of the standout players on the local Vegas Thrill, which plays its home games at Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson.
The Thrill started the season 3-1 with Oblad ranking in the league’s top 10 with a 43.1% kill percentage. She still describes it as surreal that she’s getting to live out her volleyball dreams so close to where they started, after initially playing entire eight- to nine-month seasons in Kaposvar, Paris and Taiwan.
“I’m so grateful for those experiences,” Oblad said. “I learned so much. Getting to be entrenched in new cultures like that was the best way to do it, but it’s so hard. I loved changing things up, living in new cities and new places, but it’s nice to be comfortable sometimes.”
Oblad breaks from some of her peers—her Thrill teammates include volleyball luminary/former Olympian Alisha Glass Childress, who leads the league in assists through four games—in that she was never completely set on playing volleyball for as long as she could. It just kind of happened.
Oblad has twice thought she was done playing professionally, once for injury and another time to pursue coaching, but teams kept calling and she kept coming back. The PVF specifically was too much to pass up especially, with the Thrill employing longtime mentor Ruben Herrera as team president and Hall of Famer Fran Flory as coach.
“I prepared myself that, hey, you’re going to be done with volleyball pretty quickly after college,” Oblad said. “I wasn’t just a volleyball player, so I knew if it was done
I would be OK. I truly didn’t expect it to last this long because there were so many other passions that I wanted to go explore. It’s not what I expected at all but I’m beyond grateful because it’s given me more opportunities than I ever imagined I could experience.”
Oblad’s constant outside of volleyball has been photography. She’s still considering pursuing wedding photography when her playing days are over.
She majored in graphic design at Utah and hasn’t stopped honing those skills in her spare time. Recently, she started sewing her own clothes and has a made a tentative goal to someday launch her own handmade collection.
“Athletics and art seem to be quite opposite things but it’s really neat that I get to do both of them in a sense, in my own way,” Oblad said.
Oblad has seen the value in growing something from the ground up with the local volleyball scene. She started playing at eight years old and describes the local community for the sport back then as lacking.
There were only four club teams, to her recollection, and they all mostly got wrecked when they ventured to tournaments outside of the area. She started to see some change by her senior year of high school, when she was named the 2014 Nevada Gatorade Player of the Year and a second-team Under Armour All-American, and can’t believe how far things have progressed since.
The presence of the Thrill has certainly helped, and Oblad’s expectations have been exceeded as far as younger fans of the sport showing up to watch the team’s matches.
“I don’t take any of that success on myself but I think it’s hard growing up and not having someone or something to look up to in the
sport,” Oblad said. “There was college volleyball but that’s different. So just having this level of professionalism in this sport is exciting. It’s nice for the younger generation to have something to look up to.”
Oblad said she and her veteran teammates have joked with the rookies the last two years—Charitie Luper, the Thrill’s top draft pick this year, hails from the University of Louisville—that they’re spoiled and should be required to play one season internationally.
“You don’t even know what you’re missing,” Oblad said she tells them.
The naturally introverted Oblad still shudders when sharing stories about searching for food options late night in Kaposvar and having to try to navigate the language barrier to ask locals for help.
She only had a pair of teammates that spoke English in Taiwan, but her most memorable moment there came before sunrise one morning when one of them joined her for a hike up a mountain.
The pair complained after zapping themselves of energy with a bike ride across the city to the destination and then climbing more than 1,000 stairs. But, once at the summit, Oblad’s curiosity took over and she began navigating the jungle. She described an ensuing “amazing” experience where she and her teammate found a series of temples hidden in the mountain overlooking the island she describes as “Hawaii on steroids.”
That’s largely how Oblad has lived and treated her volleyball career, open to whatever comes her way.
“Being alone overseas is exhausting and frustrating in certain aspects, whereas here that emotional drain is gone,” Oblad said. “Practices are hard and so is trying to prepare for a match and not over-exerting. But emotionally, I feel like I have a lot more to give and it’s a lot easier to interact with your teammates when they all speak English.”

X-RAY VISIONARIES: COMPANY’S SYSTEM TO PURIFY CANNABIS SETS IT UP FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS
BY KATIE ANN MCCARVER
VEGAS INC STAFF
ALas Vegas-based company is using X-ray technology to decontaminate cannabis.
XRpure, a subsidiary of Varex Imaging Corporation—a global supplier of X-ray imaging components— launched a few years ago with the XR12, a cannabis-decontamination system using a 12-kilowatt X-ray tube. Now, the company is ready to launch the XR16, which will be 30% faster than its predecessors, said Joseph Bancheri, national sales manager.
“We have only one moving part,” Bancheri said. “So that’s why the unit is very dependable, and then that powerful tube makes us faster. So that’s the di erence between us and the competitors. … I think it’s the safest way for the end user to be able to get clean products.”
The XR16 eliminates mold, bacteria and mildew from the cannabis ower, according to a release. If a ower sits in a jar on a shelf at a dispensary for six months without decontamination, then microbials are ourishing and growing within that jar, Bancheri said.
He compared the X-rays from the machine to “little needles” that break up and kill the DNA of microbials on the ower, while still maintaining the integrity of the plant.
“The plant cell is like the size of the truck, so it’s really not a ecting the actual properties of the plant,” Bancheri said. “Which, that’s my biggest thing, the integrity of the plant—the terpene pro le, the water content, the THC—all that’s preserved. But the microbials are killed, so now it’s nice and clean for whenever someone gets to it.”
In Nevada, inhalable cannabis and cannabis products have a 10,000 colony-forming unitsper-gram limit, which includes yeast and mold.
Products are tested for the fungus Aspergillus on a detect or non-detect basis.
X-rays can kill all of the above, Bancheri said, and guarantee a passing compliance grade for cultivators.
“Not only that, but the ower is basically clean,” he added. “So when the end user gets it, they’re getting the cleanest medicine possible.”
XRpure has, however, run into a stigma that its use of X-ray technology to decontaminate cannabis is actually leading to the creation of radioactive owers—a myth Bancheri promptly debunked. The X-ray passes right through the plant, he said.
“And we even have a re ector on the bottom, which is one of our patent designs on the unit, that re ects it back up into the ower, but then it gets absorbed into the lead walls, and it’s never actually absorbed by the plant,” he said. “It just runs right through it—just like an X-ray of your body.”
Clients of XRpure are happy to pass strict regulations and provide consumers with a clean plant that preserves its integrity, Bancheri said.
Julie Salango, director of operations at Red Diamond, said the manufacturer and cultivator uses XRpure’s sterilization machine to kill
harmful levels of microbials prior to test its ower. She was “blown away” by the XRpure machine compared with others she has used, Salango said, due to its smaller size and convenience of use.
“We pay so much for testing … so even one failure ends up costing you twice as much as it normally does,” she said. “So utilizing every ounce that you cultivate and being able to get that to market makes a tremendous di erence. Since we’ve had the machine, we’re at almost a 100% pass rate. We haven’t failed since we’ve gotten the machine.”
XRpure has ve units in Nevada, one in Mississippi and two in New Jersey that are being installed right now, Bancheri said. The company has inquiries from interested clients around the world, he said, and it’s exciting to see the number of people seeing the bene t of X-ray sterilization of cannabis.
If cannabis is ever legal at the federal level in the U.S., XRpure is also in position to become a multimillion-dollar facility, he said.
“But it wouldn’t make sense until people could ship past state lines,” he said. “So right now, these individual units are working great for cultivations and facilities on an individual level.”
