BRITNEY: PIECE OF ME POP SUPERSTAR CELEBRATES OFFICIAL LAS VEGAS ARRIVAL.

W

ith the excitement for the launch of her Las Vegas residency show reaching a fever pitch, coupled with the release of her highly anticipated eighth studio album “Britney Jean,” ticket demand for “Britney: Piece of Me” has been overwhelming. Given record-setting sales, the next set of show dates for “Britney: Piece of Me” have gone on sale earlier than expected.

Guests are encouraged to purchase their tickets as soon as possible, as some performances are sold out and a very limited number of tickets are available for the previously announced show dates.

The day after celebrating her 32nd birthday and on the same day as her new album release, the superstar literally stopped traffic along the famed Las Vegas Strip as an elaborate event was thrown in her honor to officially welcome her to her new home at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

“I already feel like home here at Planet Hollywood. It was so nice to celebrate my birthday and album launch with this incredible welcome event,” said Britney.

“I am so excited for everyone to hear my new album today, and to experience “Britney: Piece of Me” in just a few weeks!”

ubilee!—the longest-running show on the Strip—is set to undergo a major transformation in early 2014, bringing a fresh new twist to Bally’s Las Vegas. Since debuting in 1981, Jubilee! continues to bring iconic headdress-clad showgirls to the stage. With the addition of bold new features—while staying true to the spirit of the original show—this Las Vegas classic promises to keep guests entertained for years to come.

Spearheading Jubilee!’s conversion into the contemporary age is one of the most celebrated creative directors and choreographers in the world— Frank Gaston Jr. With more than 30 years of experience under his belt, Gaston Jr. gained his expertise while providing direction for commercials and movies, as well as his long-time working relationship with R&B superstar Beyoncé.

Gaston Jr. is working closely with the cast and crew of Jubilee! to ensure the production is as celebrated as the original. At the same time preserving the show’s main elements of the past—including signature costumes and a number of the traditional sets—the choreography, staging, and music is refreshed for today’s audience.

Celine Dion

INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR SHAKES SIN CITY.

T

he critically acclaimed new album, “Loved Me Back to Life,” from multi-platinum-selling and five-time Grammy Award-winning musical legend Celine Dion, has made an impressive debut across the globe. Her upbeat lead single “Loved Me Back to Life”—as well as duets with music superstars Ne-Yo (“Incredible”) and Stevie Wonder (“Overjoyed”)—makes this one of her most successful albums in many years.

“It’s been six years since I’ve recorded a new English album,” said Celine. “I can’t wait to go onstage and start singing some of these new songs.” She continued by saying, “I will still sing the songs that fans around the world love, but the new music on “Loved Me Back to Life” is a natural evolution of me as an artist that I can’t wait to share with audiences.”

Dion is continuing her residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in 2014.

BAD-TO-THE-BONE GROUP ROCKS THE SMITH CENTER.

G

eorge Thorogood & The Destroyers is performing live at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, February 27 at 7:30 p.m.

For more than 40 years, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, with hits like “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over,” “Who Do You Love,” “Bad To The Bone,” and “I Drink Alone,” have been a powerful force in blues-rock music. Since the release of their self-titled debut album in 1977, they have toured and performed with many of blues’ most legendary artists, including Hound Dog Taylor, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Willie Dixon, Bo Diddley, Albert Collins, Johnny Johnson, John Hammond, Elvin Bishop, Eddie Shaw, and Buddy Guy. After releasing 16 studio albums George Thorogood and the Destroyers have claimed a stake in rock and roll history. This legendary band has kept pace for 40 years touring the world with its unique blend of boogie-rock and blues.

With the release of George Thorogood & The Destroyers in 1977, the band quickly established themselves as radio favorites and as a touring machine. Described as “the world’s greatest bar band,” the group has had tremendous success with Thorogood’s original compositions.

Garden Chapel NEWLY RENOVATED VENUE OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL MATRIMONY SERVICES. Flamingo Las Vegas now offers a fresh wedding experience with its beautifully redesigned Garden Chapel and new wedding packages.

The renovation—completed in September 2013—encompasses the chapel, lobby, reception, hallways, bridal room, and restroom. Embracing a new element of glamour while maintaining the Flamingo’s timeless appeal, the Garden Chapel showcases airy pink and neutral champagne tones complemented with sparkly elements and splashes of floral. The organic atmosphere translates to an elegant and memorable space that caters to the bride on her special day with graceful columns, vaulted ceilings, interior draping, and a centralized crystal chandelier.

Upon entering the chapel, one of the main focal points is the infinity sculpture— designed to represent everlasting love—set above the contemporary interpretation of the altar. Crystal pillars, luminous candles, and floral accents embellish the altar revealing a gentle reflection of light throughout the space. Pearlescent champagne pews are adorned with floral bouquets and complemented by modern flooring.

“Everything from the smallest to largest details work together to enhance the overall presentation of the chapel,” Melissa Fielding, director of leisure services for Flamingo says. “The new space really is picture-perfect and the response so far has been great.”

The Garden Chapel offers a variety of wedding packages starting at $589. The Soulmates and Timeless packages feature an array of amenities including bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, matching groom and groomsmen’s boutonnieres, professional photography and photo credit, customized music playlist, limousine service, wedding certificate holder, and a champagne toast with keepsake toasting glasses.

SAHARA CENTER

RETAIL COMPLEX BREAKS GROUND IN SUMMERLIN.

ERIN O’BOYLE PHOTOGRAPHICS

Construction has begun on the 220,000-square-foot Sahara Center, located at the northeast corner of Sahara and Hualapai, with a scheduled opening of early Fall 2014.

Sahara Center will be anchored by T.J. Maxx, Stein Mart, Sprouts Farmers Market, HomeGoods, and Petco in addition to other national and regional brands. The center will also offer a number of tenants that will provide neighborhood conveniences, including food and beverage offerings. Currently, the center is 60 percent leased and expected to open near or at full capacity.

Robust leasing activity is a testament to the optimal location, the surrounding neighborhoods with high average household income, quality of the development, freeway proximity, and a large population of Las Vegans and visitors to the area with spending power.

Both Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman and the Ward 2 City Councilman Bob Beers have expressed excitement about the

significant job creation to be experienced during the construction phase and the permanent employment opportunities that will result once the center opens to the public.

Ted Baker, Sahara Center’s retail leasing consultant with New Market Advisors expressed, “The many residential neighborhoods and master planned communities on this side of town, such as Summerlin, Queensridge, and Peccole Ranch, have been underserved in terms of national and regional retail options. Despite the cloud of economic uncertainty over the past five years, the demand for mid-box retail in this area has never waned. Sahara Center brings a new and exciting shopping experience from nationally recognized PLAN YOUR TRIP brands to this major Sahara Center Summerlin-area 10000 W. Sahara Ave. intersection.”

HIGH ROLLER

OBSERVATION WHEEL SCRAPES THE SKY.

DENISE TRUSCELLO

The Las Vegas High Roller has reached new heights as the observation wheel’s first passenger cabin was rotated to the highest point on the wheel’s rim. At 550 feet, the rotation of the cabin to the mid-center point of the rim officially makes the High Roller the world’s tallest observation wheel. As the focal point of The LINQ, Caesars Entertainment’s $550 million outdoor retail, dining, and entertainment district, today’s feat marks a major milestone for the Las Vegas Strip attraction.

“This was a significant step for us. The level of technical precision and detailed planning to attach a 22-ton passenger cabin to the rim is tremendous,” said David Codiga, executive project director for The LINQ. “Seeing the cabin rotate to the top of wheel is not only very satisfying for our team, who has spent years working very hard to get to this point, but it also signifies we’re just that much closer to becoming operational. We’re all very eager to welcome passengers to the tallest and most advanced wheel in the world and this gets us one step closer.”

Ahead of the first center-point rotation, the 44,000-pound, spherical, glassenclosed cabin had to travel to the wheel site from its assembly warehouse.

Transferred via police escort provided by the Nevada Highway Patrol, it took approximately three hours to travel the cabin 10 miles. In total, the High Roller will feature 28 cabins that will each hold 40 passengers.

Live, Laughlin, Love 10 things we learned about this Southern Nevada gem of a town during a recent visit.

L

ocated roughly 90 miles south of Las Vegas lies an underrated Nevada treasure. Touting a scenic riverwalk, crystal-clear waters, and nearby petroglyphs strewn across the red rock countryside, Laughlin truly stands out as a Nevada town worth visiting. A popular destination for snowbirds hoping to escape frigid temperatures during the winter season, Laughlin provides a sunny escape year-round.

The town’s origin dates to 1964 when founder Don Laughlin flew over the site and saw tourism potential. At the time, the region—a stretch of the Colorado River referred to as Tri State—consisted of not much more than an abandoned eight-room motel.

Within two years, Don purchased the motel and six acres of riverfront property.

Construction of Laughlin began shortly thereafter, and the town began to take shape. After the addition of various hotels and casinos, Don funded his namesake Laughlin Bridge, which provided easy access to Arizona and established the location as a prosperous Nevada settlement. 2014 marks a special occasion for Laughlin as the town observes the 50-year mark since its inception.

1. CRYSTAL COLORADO RIVER: This impressive water source flows alongside the Laughlin “strip,” as locals refer to its casino district. The activities available on the river include watercraft rentals, riverboat tours, and the annual River Regatta—an event in which thousands of participants take to the river on inner tubes and float an eight-mile stretch.

2. THE FOODIE’S PARADISE: From fine dining in one of the area’s elegant steakhouses such as the Range Steakhouse inside of Harrah’s Laughlin to an all-you-can-eat buffet in the Aquarius Casino Resort, the dining options in Laughlin are numerous. If beer and a burger better suit your appetite, Pints Brewery & Sports Bar inside The Colorado Belle Hotel & Casino dishes up a more relaxed dining experience.

3. CANYON CANVASES AND A CHRISTMAS TREE: Less than 30 minutes from Laughlin lies Grapevine Canyon, one of Nevada’s most interesting and accessible (via easily traversable dirt roads) archeological sites, giving visitors a chance to view hundreds of petroglyphs carved into the canyon walls.

A short distance from Grapevine Canyon lies Christmas Tree 26

Pass, which gives visitors astounding views of the area’s geology and vegetation; and, yes, there is a small decorated Christmas tree on top of the pass.

4. CLASSIC AUTOS: You don’t have to be a motor head to enjoy the Riverside Classic Auto Exhibition Hall at Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort. With more than 80 rare, antique, and historic automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles, the free exhibit is open daily.

5. LAUGHLIN RIVERWALK: The waterfront path is chock full of various restaurants, casinos, and river activities and provides a scenic view of the Colorado River. Guests who don’t feel like walking can even traverse the riverwalk by taking a ride on a water taxi.

6. NIGHT LIFE: The entertainment in Laughlin is dynamic. Live music and several nightclubs line the strip, including Gold Diggers—a vivacious venue that offers plenty of dancing and drink specials.

Tower of Power, Smokey Robinson, the Charlie Daniels Band, and Montgomery Gentry are just a few of the big acts that have

recently played Laughlin.

7. IT’S A CELEBRATION: Visitors can sail aboard the Celebration—a simulated paddlewheel boat that provides a different perspective of the crystalclear waters. The vessel offers 90-minute cruises along casino row to Davis Dam as well as dinner cruises, riverboat weddings, and group charters.

10. DESERT OASIS: A soft, sandy beach isn’t easy to come by in the Silver State.

However, at Harrah’s Laughlin, guests can enjoy access to a riverfront beach, complete with cabana rentals and access to two outdoor swimming pools.

8. A SOUTHERN (NEVADA) TRADITION: The Colorado Belle Hotel & Casino. A replica paddlewheel boat includes not only a hotel and casino, but also retail stores and entertainment and dining options, all enclosed under the impressively decorated exterior. Lined with Koi ponds on one side and the Colorado River on the other, this resort is truly a sight to see.

9. RICK ROLLIN’ ON THE RIVER: An iconic symbol of Nevada, River Rick (aka Laughlin Lou) greets visitors to the Laughlin Riverwalk. Displaying the same familiar appearance as his Nevada counterparts, Vegas Vic and Wendover Will, River Rick has been standing proudly at the Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall since 1981.

Lock Your Love Lovelock celebrates Valentine’s Day with wedding and weekend festivities.

It’s eternal—love that is—and even more so when it’s locked at Lovers Lock Plaza in Lovelock, home to the nation’s only “eternal” chain. This Valentine’s Day, February 14, lovers are invited to travel to Lovelock for a wedding and vow renewal ceremony followed by love-locking to commemorate their love and the sixth anniversary of Lovers Lock Plaza. Since its inception in 2006, people from around the globe have traveled to Lovelock to symbolically bind their love as part of an age-old Chinese custom revised into Nevada tradition.

In China, for decades lovers have placed a lock on an “endless chain” along the Great Wall in the Yellow Mountains and elsewhere. The love-locking tradition is also alive in Italy, with lovers affixing locks to the Ponte Vecchio and Ponte Milvio and throwing the keys into the Arno and Tiber Rivers.

Couples looking to legally marry at the ceremony will need to secure a State of Nevada marriage license prior to the ceremony. Participation in the ceremony is free.

Lovelock hosts a variety of activities in conjunction with the Valentine’s Day festivities at Lovers Lock Plaza. Events include the annual Lovers Aloft Balloon Races, wine tastings, art exhibits, an ice-cream social, poker walk, and more.

The balloon races, an annual Lovelock tradition, bring together more than 20 hot air balloons for a variety of competitions each morning.

UNEARTHLY EXHIBIT MATERIALIZES AT THE NATIONAL ATOMIC TESTING MUSEUM IN LAS VEGAS. One of the most illustrious and cryptic focuses of conspiracy theorists, UFO enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers for decades, Area 51 continues to be shrouded in mystery. Located adjacent to the Nevada Test Site, this secluded section of desert has become synonymous with alien spacecraft, beings from other planets, and impenetrable security. However, visitors to the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas can now explore the highly classified world via the award-winning exhibit “Area 51: Myth or Reality.”

Organized in coordination with former CIA officers, military aviators, Area 51 workers, and respected members of the UFO community, the interactive exhibit gives an inside look at the mysterious base.

Visitors receive an authorization badge and secret instructions before passing through a “Q clearance” security checkpoint. They are then greeted by a “man in black” before learning about the Roswell crash, viewing UFO crash site debris, witnessing an alien autopsy, and exploring the science behind space travel.

Guests also have a chance to discover the origins of the nation’s MiG reverse engineering program, learn about the trials and tribulations of getting the U-2 spy plane program off the ground, view authentic artifacts from the different spy-plane programs developed in the Nevada desert, and find out about other formerly top-secret technologies tested at Area 51..

NEVADA DAY IN CARSON CITY

BY DAVI D TOLL

It is Nevada Day, the grandest 72-hour day of our year, and the great Nevada Day Parade in Carson City is its most splendid expression. The parade is a gaudy and authentic three-hour procession of floats, bands, and marching groups.

The parade began months before of course, and is the climax of elaborate planning and preparation. Volunteers mark off the staging points for the 200 parade entries before sunrise, with anxious looks up into the crack of dawn. Will it be sun today or snow? Sun! We only have 15 miles to Carson City; other parade-goers have been on the road for hours before we even set out. It’s full day as we drive down into Eagle Valley from the east. Ahead of us, bright dots are pinned to the sky: a flight of balloons suspended in the crisp morning air.

Early arrivals in Carson City are at the Governor’s Mansion for a pancake breakfast provided by the Carson City Republican Women club. Spectators have already unpacked their camp chairs and staked out places on the curb, kids are running around, and vendors are setting up their counters while their pots, pans, and grills heat up. Because traditional Nevada Day is October 31, many people are wearing their Halloween costumes even though Nevada Day is only sometimes on the 31st. Now, it’s the last Friday in October whatever the date, and the parade is the next day.

Promptly and proudly at 10 a.m., the parade begins with a rumble as a phalanx of helmeted motorcycle officers rolls south on Carson Street, drawing the rest of the entries into line behind

them one line at a time out of their side streets into the procession. Here comes Senator Dean Heller on horseback! A whole posse of other officials and political figures and figurines come trooping after him, and the parade is on.

The White Pine County School band bursts into music at the head of the parade and there were other bands both afoot and afloat scattered along its length. There was a small squadron of Model A’s, some rodeo queens from Fernley, and the Nevada Silver Tappers.

The parade was more than the floats, marchers, bands, and horses; it was the beautiful day. The trees aflame in the sun, the families, the traditions, the beer and burgers, the ‘ting-ting-ting’ of the single jacks driving into granite, and the memories. It is pleasing to think the spirit of the state was held in suspension within that clear, clean air coming from the mountains, and maybe for a little while it was.
