Fighting for a Rebound For blue-collar Rebels coach Chris Beard, the gritty work begins now By Mike Grimala

March 31–April 6, 2016

VegasSeven.com

➜ CHRIS BEARD HAS TAKEN on some diffcult rebuilding jobs during his two decades in coaching. The 43-year-old has gone to remote outposts like Fort Scott, Kansas, San Angelo, Texas, and Seminole, Oklahoma, rolled up his sleeves, and won a lot of games, building a reputation as a man who can take nothing and turn it into a disciplined man-to-man defense. All of that bodes well for UNLV, because the new head coach of the Runnin’ Rebels defnitely has his work cut out for him. Las Vegas may be a bit of a step up from Seminole, but Beard’s most diffcult rebuilding job is the one he’s facing right now, due to a variety of complicating factors that are unique to UNLV. Among the issues Beard will have to confront in his frst season:

Athletic Director Tina Kunzer-Murphy has taken a fair amount of criticism during her tenure, most recently for fring coach Dave Rice in the middle of the season and for perceived missteps during the ensuing search. And on top of that, her contract runs out in December, and she has been noncommittal about wanting to remain. That creates uncertainty for the entire athletic department, and it could become a distraction for Beard during his frst season. FRONT-OFFICE TURMOIL

The Runnin’ Rebels installed a revolving door in the locker room during Rice’s tenure and fostered a culture where players dreamed about leaving as soon as possible. We’re seeing that attitude in action again this offseason, as UNLV is likely to lose its two best players. Star freshman Stephen Zimmerman declared for the NBA draft on March 28, and sophomore Patrick McCaw is a good bet to follow suit. In addition to those losses, sophomore forward Dwayne Morgan is transferring, and others are surely considering doing the same. Beard has lots of experience building on the fy, and he’s going to have to draw on it, because the Rebels may have to bring in as many as 8-10 new players to fll out the roster next season. ROSTER EROSION

BUILDING A RECRUITING INFRASTRUCTURE Las Vegas has become a

hotbed for recruiting, and any coach at UNLV has to be intimately familiar with two schools: Findlay Prep and Bishop Gorman. Having those institutions in the backyard is a huge advantage for the Rebels because they regularly churn out fve-star prospects, but unfortunately for Beard, UNLV is not on great terms with either right now. The Rebels passed over Findlay surrogate Todd Simon for the permanent head coaching job and let him walk out the door to become the coach at Southern Utah,

UNLV fans don’t just want to win, they want to WIN, in big neon letters. That means playing a fastpaced, exciting style that puts lots of points on the board. But Beard isn’t the fashy type—his masterpiece coaching performance at Little Rock last season (a 30-5 record, including a win in the NCAA tournament) was built on grind-it-out defense and deliberate offensive execution. Will UNLV fans tolerate such an “ugly” brand of basketball? Maybe if the Rebels start out 8-0 under Beard. But what if the team is 5-3? Or 4-4? Or 3-5? Beard will be under incredible pressure to win in a hurry or be tagged with the most dreaded of insults in this town: Boring. Beard will hardly have time to stock his wardrobe with new red neckties before the gauntlet begins. As a leftover of the Dave Rice era, the Rebels will face an unforgiving nonconference schedule in 2016-17, including home games against national contenders Kansas and Arizona and a date at the new T-Mobile Arena against all-powerful Duke. And as daunting as those challenges will be, Beard’s most stressful matchup may actually be a delicate trap game at Southern Utah, where former UNLV interim head coach Simon will be licking his chops at the prospect of sticking it to the school that passed him over. Beard will have to have the Rebels playing good basketball early, or the diffcult schedule could sabotage his frst season. A BRUTAL SCHEDULE

UNLV fans have a strong, uh, appreciation for the program’s history. And that led to a large, vocal segment of the fan base clamoring for Rebels legend Stacey Augmon to be promoted to the head coaching position. So just by virtue of being an outsider who was chosen over the Plastic Man, Beard will face a lot of skepticism from the start. The only way to endear those fans will be to win, the way the Rebels did during Augmon’s playing days. NOT BEING STACEY AUGMON

It’s not going to be easy. On their own, any of these issues could be enough to torpedo a new hire who will be coaching on a big stage for the frst time. But maybe UNLV hired the right guy, because Beard has built his career on doing things the hard way.

OYSTERS, TAX-DAY PROMOS ➜ March Madness is coming to an end, but there’s one more late-breaking deal to take advantage of. The South Point is dealing -105 lines for NCAA basketball tournament games, both for this Saturday’s Final Four and Monday’s Championship. This means you only have to bet $105 to win $100, as opposed to the standard 110/100. This is a relatively uncommon promotion that drops the book’s advantage from 4.5 percent to 2.4 percent. The -105 pricing is offered for sides only (no totals). A 2.4 percent casino edge is getting into bargain territory, but it’s not as good as no edge at all, which is the case at the Downtown Grand, with its free “buy” bets on craps. A buy bet is a wager that pays at true odds, but the casino takes a 5 percent commission on winners to make its profit. Removing the commission erases the house edge. It’s not a moneymaker, but it’s not a loser, either. The Grand is also advertising loosened pay tables for video keno at the bar, which would be welcomed by the legions of keno players in town. Other Mama, the new dining hot spot on the west side at Durango Drive and Twain Avenue, is celebrating its first anniversary this month with $1 high-end oysters and $1 draft PBR. It’s the only place in town where you can get a dozen oysters on the half shell and a couple of beers for under $15. The deal runs daily from 5-11 p.m. until April 17. Another candidate for discounted oysters is Todd English Pub in Crystals at CityCenter, where you can get raw oysters for a buck … sometimes. The Pub apparently runs dollar promos sporadically, but even when not, the ongoing special is a dozen for $23, or just under $2 an oyster. Suncoast has 5 for $5 Tuesdays in April, with $5 breakfast and lunch buffets, drinks, table-game minimums and $5.25 movies. The best value is the breakfast or lunch buffet for $5. Suncoast has one of the better mid-level buffets, so this price makes it the best Tuesday buffet play in Vegas. On the high end, through April 20, show a local ID to get 25 percent off your check for Sunday brunch in STK at the Cosmopolitan. Tax day always brings casino promotions. The Plaza will pay your taxes on jackpots on April 18, which works out to a 28 percent premium if you hit a taxable payout. El Cortez is offering its usual 5 percent of your tax refund in free play when you cash your check at the cage. The maximum in free play is $50. More tax-day deals are likely to show, with previous years bringing promos at Cannery, Eastside Cannery, Silverton, Mandalay Bay and both Arizona Charlie’s.

sino revenue shrank by 14 percent. Further, sports betting may be the fnal frontier for casino expansion in the United States. While there are certainly urban areas that gaming companies would like to move into, there are few regions that represent the kind of untapped potential that fueled the 1990s boom. It is no accident that the American Gaming Association, the national industry’s advocacy group, has been front and center on sports betting, sending out in recent months news releases advising the total estimated bet on the Super Bowl ($4.2 billion) and March Madness ($9.2 billion) as well as the number of Americans who bet on the Super Bowl (47 million, including President Barack Obama). Should sports betting be legalized more broadly, even if it only adds about 2 percent to the combined performance of the nation’s casinos, it would yield about $760 million in additional revenue, without substantial investment in new facilities. Likewise, with states from New York to Indiana moving to create frameworks for an unambiguously legal regime of daily fantasy sports (DFS), Nevada casinos cannot be disinterested. Like traditional sports betting, DFS may be an adjunct, rather than a direct threat to or as replacement for slot and table gaming, but it is expanding rapidly. As sports betting and daily fantasy sports expand nationally, Las Vegas casinos may look to amp up their offerings in order to appeal to those bettors. After all, most of the 47 million Americans who bet on the Super Bowl didn’t come close to Las Vegas; but there is something special about doing it legally, on the level that only Nevada’s sports books can provide now. By the same token, the AGA estimates that 70 million Americans will fll out an NCAA tournament bracket. That may satisfy many, but the uniquely Vegas brand of betting—and enjoying everything else the town has to offer—is still in high demand. So, even if efforts to expand legal sports betting in the United States don’t pay off in the short term, it will not be surprising to see Las Vegas casinos continue to invest in sports betting. If played right, it’s a win-win for casinos: Either they maintain their nearmonopoly, or they emerge as the epicenter of a growing legal wave of sports betting. With such sure things in short supply in today’s Las Vegas, the growing importance of sports betting to casinos is a near-given.

PEEK INTO THE NEVER-DULL SIDE OF VEGAS’ MOST FAMOUS RESIDENCES

March 31–April 6, 2016

VegasSeven.com

By Emmily Bristol

Almost everyone who calls Las Vegas home has inevitably been asked if they live in a casino, but residents know the Strip’s penthouse lifestyle is reserved for a rarifed few. Still, for those who can afford it, the sky— or even an underground adult playground—is the limit in a town where limits are meant to be exceeded. Come with us as we tour seven of the most unusual homes in Sin City.

The Underground House 3970 Spencer St. Back in the ’70s, the dirt lot on Spencer Street was in the middle of nowhere. Save for an oddly placed dead tree and an archway in the middle of the lot, little would have stood out. Unless, that is, like Stephan LaForge, you heard the tales of the house built underground. Today LaForge, a broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, represents the Underground House, and he laughs at the memory of riding his bike out of his way to try to get a glimpse of what he imagined was a sci-fi wonderland below the surface. Part doomsday crash pad and part adult playground, the Underground House presents an unassuming two-story stucco façade at street level. It turns out, though, you’re just a short elevator ride into a bomb and earthquake-proof wonderland—featuring a 5,100-square-foot house (roof and all), a 6-foot-deep pool with a waterfall and sauna, a putting green and a stripper pole. There's a built-in bar, a catering kitchen and a lime-green dining room and two master bedrooms: His features a tile mural rumored to be of the late 1980 Playmate Dorothy Stratten; hers is bedecked in pink silk chinoiserie wallpaper. Outside the house are hand-painted murals depicting real locations where builders Girard and Mary Henderson lived—the hills of Los Angeles, New Zealand, upstate New York and the ski slopes of Colorado. Local painter Jewel Smith took three years to complete the murals, during which time she lived in the 500-square-foot guesthouse. Girard Henderson, who established the Alexander Dawson Schools and was a prominent Avon stockholder, poured his wealth into promoting underground living during the Cold War era. The estimated 16,000-square-foot property, built in 1973 for $10 million, culminated an advocacy that began with his sponsorship of an exhibit at the New York World’s Fair in 1964. He died in 1983, and after Mary’s death in 1990, their two surviving children had no interest in keeping the property. It changed hands before being foreclosed upon in 2012. A nonprofit group listed on Clark County Assessor records as the Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species bought the property in 2014. The new owners are working to restore the house with period fixtures and furnishings, and plan to hold events and parties.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Vegas

The Star Trek House 295 E. Cactus Ave. Although Allen Rosoff is best known as the owner of the iconic Glass Pool Inn, civil engineering was his trade. He not only designed and built the pool at his hotel (first called Mirage Hotel, until Steve Wynn bought the name), he designed the unusual home

where he lives with his wife of 50 years, Suzie. The house has an open design with no hallways, and almost all of the rooms surround a 6-foot-deep indoor pool (with hot tub and sauna). “This was basically a party house,” Allen, 81, says. While the couple hobnobbed with stars such as Robert De Niro and Robert Redford, Suzie’s love of Star Trek inspired Allen to design a replica of the original Enterprise in their home, including automatic themed-doors, custom polygon windows and other elements. Their daughter used a telescope to plot the real-life locations of stars and planets that are represented in custom-window skylights above the pool. “Star Trek’s not my thing, but it makes her happy,” deadpans Allen. “I’m a fan of the original [show],"

Suzie, 73, says. "I liked that they all had a lesson at the end. That was unique. But once they put someone else in [Captain] Kirk’s chair, I lost interest." The double-gated, two-acre property has been toned down a bit after being listed by Zar Zanganeh with Luxe Estates & Lifestyles earlier this year for $1,475,000.

Penn Jillette’s “Slammer” House 7601 W. Wigwam Ave. The talkative half of Penn & Teller is known for many things, but subtlety is not one of them. Penn Jillette’s famous bachelor pad, dubbed the “Slammer,” started as a simple A-frame house, Zanganeh says. The celebrity Realtor helped Jillette and his wife, Emily, find a new home this past year when the 8,000-square-

foot prison-themed party house proved “impossible” to childproof. The Slammer features a Scrabble-themed bathroom and a labyrinth of secret passageways and a hidden room. In October, the Church of Bacon launched an Indiegogo campaign to buy the 6-acre property, which failed. Zanganeh says he’s in negotiations with a few potential buyers for the private listing.

Hartland Mansion 525 Park Paseo Even if you don’t know the details behind this Antebellum-themed mansion off Sixth Street, no doubt you’ve seen it. If the walls of this 31,000-square-foot mansion could talk, we’d hear about Ginger Rogers dancing, Elvis sleeping, a visit from Michael Jackson and a long list of movies, television shows

Originally listed for $777,000 last year, the former home of Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, one of Las Vegas’ most infamous mobsters and casino executives, is on the market for $699,000. The house has had four different owners since Rosenthal, but it has most of its original features, says property broker Brian Burns of Synergy Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s got that retro look,” Burns says, noting the floating staircase, the smoked mirror walls and ceiling in the sunken living room. “[This house is for] somebody who’s looking for that vintage Vegas experience. It’s very hard to find this kind of house anymore in Vegas.”

But don’t let the glamour fool you. The three-bedroom bunker was built for a reported $500,000 in 1973 with commercial-grade wiring and materials to alleviate Rosenthal’s concerns about safety. There’s still a mark in the bulletproof glass behind the floating stairs from when the mob tried to kill Lefty (a scene depicted in Martin Scorsese’s Casino). “The house is built more like a casino than a house,” Burns says.

and music videos shot on location— including scenes from Casino. “Like Liberace’s house, it started as two houses that they combined into one,” Zanganeh says. This happened after the original house was leveled by separate fires in 1980 and 1981. The opulent manor, the exterior of which is modeled after the façade of the Plaza Inn on Disneyland’s Main Street, has not always been portrayed favorably. A 2010 New York Times headline declared the mansion “Glue-Gunned to Perfection.”

Miller’s Castle 2928 Coast Line Ct. (at The Lakes) This 11,600-square-foot castle with private dock access on Lake Sahara is modeled after a real Victorian castle in England called Rose Manor, says Zanganeh, who is representing the property that went on the market for $4.8 million last year. Commissioned by Robert and Sandra Miller in the 1980s and finished in 1991, the six-bedroom house comes with all the medieval touches, including a “dungeon” (now used as a media room) built

in a basement that is accessed by a secret door behind a bookcase, stained glass created by Disney glass designer Mark Walton and an English hedge garden. The Miller family lived in the house until they sold it in 2005.

Wayne Newton’s Casa de Shenandoah 3310 E. Sunset Rd. Wayne Newton’s 52-acre estate is now a museum. The public can tour some of the eight houses on the property, view his car collection (some of which were once

owned by Liberace and Johnny Carson), peruse mementos from famous friends (including Elvis Presley), see his costumes, check out his private jet and enjoy animalia in ponds and barns as well as his 60 purebred Arabian horses. The estate has been listed as one of the “priciest pads” by MTV Cribs and was seen in Vegas Vacation, the

original 1978 Vega$ TV show and The Rockford Files. Ticket prices range from $35 to $95. Zanganeh, who brokered the sale of the property in 2010—rumored to be more than $20 million—is glad to see the museum open. “I think I have the best job in the world,” Zanganeh says.“Every one of these houses are a piece of me. You get attached.”

A rendering of Hyde Lounge’s grand entrance and Gerald Pacheco (inset).

➜ Gerald Pacheco is grinning from ear to ear stand-

ing 100 feet above the foor of the soon-to-be-completed T-Mobile Arena. We are perched inside one of two triangular decks tucked into the arena’s corners, called the Tower Club, and part of the space on the ffth foor known as Hyde Lounge. This is a vertigoinducing vantage point, but it could be considered one of the best places to take it all in. “Hyde will operate everything from triangle to triangle,” says Pacheco, regional director of operations for SBE Nightlife Group Las Vegas, pointing to the 18,000square-foot semicircular space on the concourse level. “If you are coming to see a show, now you have a place to go afterward or during, or toward the end of the

event, and have your night made in one place without having to travel across town, or go to another place.” On this day, several weeks before opening, wooden frames that will soon become nightclub-style banquettes surround us. Construction crews move about purposefully, as opposed to the meandering concertgoers who will party, drink and eat here. With the April 6 opening looming, Pacheco, a seasoned hospitality veteran who was previously on the operations team of all the nightlife venues at Aria Resort Hotel & Casino, gives Vegas Seven an exclusive frst look. SCALED FOR FUN

A staff of about 100 people has been hired. And

HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE SPACE

Anyone who purchases a ticket to see a show at the arena will have access to Hyde Lounge provided there is room. “You can access it pre-game through any of the elevators,” Pacheco says. “There’s also a VIP entrance.” THE TOWER CLUB (A.K.A. THE TRIANGLES)

“[Each of these spaces] will have a different liquor sponsor, one Stella Artois and the other, Grey Goose,” he says. “That means they’re the sponsorship partners for these areas. They’re going to be tying their brand in with the look and feel of the place.” On any given night, the triangles will act as general admission overfow for Hyde Lounge. “If we do have people who want to buy out the event space, we can [section] off the room with curtains.

AS THE ACTION HEATS UP

“We anticipate a signifcant demand, especially toward the end of an event when people get tired of being in their seat, or they are looking for that next piece of action,” Pacheco says. “When you look up from ‘the bowl’ and you see the triangles lit up and [letter] H’s on the walls … you are going to wonder, ‘What is going on up there?’ Table customers will have frst priority, and we’ll sell them just like at a high-end lounge/nightclub.”

WHAT YOU’LL EAT AND DRINK

“Our mixology program is consistent with all SBE properties,” he says. “We have several Hydes across the country that are known for their mixology. We took the best of the best and implemented those [cocktails] into our beverage program here, and then we will also be providing bottle service as well.” All tables will have a food and beverage minimum, which will be based on demand. Hyde’s menu, consisting of 13 items ranging from a hot dog to chicken Vesuvio, is provided by Levy Restaurants—the arena’s food partner. And while Hyde will have a dedicated kitchen on the ffth foor to fnish the

dishes, the food will actually come from the main kitchen downstairs. WHERE’S THE AFTER-PARTY?

“We have agreements with arena security in order to keep it staffed and make sure that everybody has the ability to let the party wind down as opposed to having a forced closure,” Pacheco says. When a concert ends, all the curtains close and black out the arena and the action at Hyde becomes the focal point. It will continue to rock as long as people are spending money. “I haven’t been given a time that we can’t stay open till,” he says. “The arena has 20,000 people during its biggest event—that’s about 18,000 people who are looking for a place to go after. Now, do you want to deal with the parking issues, or trying to fnd an Uber outside after the event? Or do you want to just go right up to where you know there’s going to be a good party?” PROGRAMMING

The talent will be similar to what SBE offers at Hyde Bellagio, but the hope is to also capitalize on bringing in those who are performing in the building for special guest appearances. “This is going to be the place to hang out,” Pacheco says. Since Hyde is patched into sound from the house, DJ performance time will be limited to lulls in the event action. You also won’t see a dance foor. “I’ve seen lounges

that operate and do revenue like a nightclub that didn’t have a dance foor. It was just people congregating in groups of tables, and ultimately it gave people the chance to kind of bounce around and intermingle. So, creating a dance foor when the actual concert doesn’t really produce that vibe didn’t make sense.”

Those in the banquettes will have direct access to a bartender. “If they’re running a tab for their table, they’ll be able to look over at the bartender, get his attention and he can serve them over the back [of the banquette]—make their shots and cocktails.”

There are 34 tables. Created by Design Agency and Dakota Development, Hyde Lounge will feature two tiers of banquettes with prime views of the “bowl.” “If people are spending premium dollars, we don’t want to overcrowd the banquettes … but we

“I want locals,” Pacheco says. “I want people to come in and experience this and say, ‘This is a gem. This isn’t like every other nightclub in Las Vegas.’ If you’re a local, you’ll be treated like a local. It’s going to redefne how people go out and have a good time.”

At frst glance, you might not even recognize the thinly pounded boneless meat on this plate as quail—it actually looks a bit like veal. But the bird lends itself well to this classic Italian recipe. Chef Julian Serrano lightly sautés the medallions to give them a touch of crispy exterior. And the tart lemon, sage and salty prosciutto pack a complex favor blast. If you’ve never tried quail, this is a great entry-level preparation. Longtime fans of the bird will also love it. $19 at Lago by Julian Serrano in Bellagio, 702-693-8865, Bellagio.com. LA CAILLE

Like Le Cirque, L’Atelier also stuffs a portion of its quail with foie gras. And understanding how the duck liver is complemented by sweets, they glaze the bird with a caramelized honey and soy mixture. There’s also a touch of garlic in there for a slight savory kick. Another beautiful thing about this dish is that it comes with Robuchon’s famed mashed potatoes—perhaps the richest, most perfect preparation of the humble potato you’ll ever come across. (And depending on the season, those may come with shaved truffes.) $188 as part of the nine-course Dégustation Menu at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in MGM Grand, 702-891-7358, MGMGrand.com.

You’ve Got Quail Feathery feasts for when chicken and turkey just won’t cut it

March 31–April 6, 2016

➜ Meat, fsh or fowl. If you’re a con-

summate carnivore, those are your basic protein options at most restaurants. Sadly, fowl generally means chicken, turkey or, on occasion, duck, and those three can get a bit tiresome. So I set out to discover enticing, alternative fowl dishes. After combing through Valley menus, it’s clear that the city’s top anti-chicken is quail. Here’s a fock of fve great preparations for the little bird. WARM QUAIL SALAD

Don’t be surprised if you fnd yourself gnawing right down to those toothpick-size bones. $118 as part of the four-course prix-fxe menu at Picasso in Bellagio, 702-693-8865, Bellagio.com.

with fennel and thyme, then brushed with sage before being thrown on the grill. The result has a rustic homebarbecue quality. But the plate gets a gourmet touch from a drizzle of the “cooked wine” condiment vin cotto. $36 at B&B Ristorante in the Venetian, 702-266-9977, BAndBRistorante.com.

GRILLED QUAIL WITH FREGOLA VERDE

This is, without a doubt, the most elegantly prepared quail dish I’ve encountered. The small oval of boneless quail is stuffed with foie gras, the outside speckled with gold leaf and two “wings” of shaved Parmesan. This serves as the visual root for a potato mousseline

This main course comes with two whole quail served over a portion of the couscous-like pasta fregola. The side dish is prepared with asparagus and green herbs, which imparts vibrant color. The birds are seasoned

OTHER RARE BIRDS Forget about the big-city notion of pigeons being flying rats. This wonderful roasted bird is served with wild-rice risotto, slices like and even looks a bit like red meat, and has a rich, gamey flavor. $118 as part of the four-course prix fixe menu at Picasso in Bellagio, 702-693-8865, Bellagio.com. PIGEON

The Palms’ original restaurant-in-the-sky appears to be the only place in town to find this game bird right now. Here, it’s offered alongside white bean cassoulet with smoked sausage in a chestnut brown-butter sauce. $155 as part of the seven-course tasting menu at Alizé in the Palms, 702-951-7000, AlizeLV.com. PHEASANT

Native to Africa, this bird was last seen on Guy Savoy’s black truffle menu, which has been discontinued for the season. But new executive chef Julien Asseo says he hopes to add it to the spring menu. Available seasonally at Restaurant Guy Savoy in Caesars Palace, 702-731-7286, Caesars.com. GUINEA HEN

dogs and so forth. So, yeah, it’s defnitely more acceptable these days. But that goes back to “erotic art.” When you call it that, you’re reverting back to very Puritan thinking. We’re far beyond that. We are modern. And the fact that there are elements of this art that provoke—well, that’s what art is supposed to be doing. What’s the worst reaction Sin City Gallery has received? “I don’t want this filth in my town,” that sort of thing?

That phrase, “modern provocateur.” What does it mean?

Over the years, I’ve learned that the phrase “erotic art” tends to come across a certain way, and not in the right way for most people. If I present a piece of art, and I say it’s “contemporary art,” and they say “it’s erotic,” that’s fne. But if I come out and say “it’s erotic,” it’s not so fne. “Modern provocateur” is basically an expression I’ve coined with an art historian and curator in New York. Erotic art really hasn’t had any evolution within the genre. There are other art forms that continue to evolve, but erotic art has not, and it has this really negative stigma to it.

“Modern provocateur” is really a contemporaneous term that not only talks about a kind of art, but it talks about lifestyle, about societal mores. Art is always refective of what’s around us, and modern provocateur refects LGBTQ, refects kink, refects technology and media. It’s all-encompassing. I actually have a written defnition (of modern provocateur), and I really hope people try to take it apart. That means it’s caught on, and it can grow and evolve from there. Is this genre finally gaining mainstream acceptance? There’s a big Robert Mapplethorpe revival happening at the Los Angeles

Contemporary Museum of Art and the Getty Museum right now…

Yeah. The art that I present is more mainstream than people think. The way that this imagery permeates media, flm, the Internet … it’s prevalent. And I’m ecstatic about the Mapplethorpe retrospective. Here you have two art institutions collaborating: LACMA will show all the kinky stuff, all the subversive stuff; they’re not holding back. And the Getty will be showing his fowers. (Laughs.) Something for everyone. And look at Jeff Koons. Back in the early 2000s, Koons was doing his Cicciolina homages and sculptures and not holding back. He’s evolved to tulips and Snoopy

JUSTIN BIEBER DELIVERS ON THE PROMISE OF PURPOSE

March 31–April 6, 2016

MGM Grand Garden Arena, March 25

➜ Let me preface this by saying that I’m well aware Justin Bieber isn’t just the man himself: There’s Justin Bieber the Songwriting Team, Justin Bieber the Band, Justin Bieber the Set Designer and countless others. All these Biebers come together to form the blondhaired, hazel-eyed, millennial poster child we know now, whose sound has blossomed from bubblegum teen pop to include an eclectic aural palate consisting of tropical house, four-chord pop and ballads on his latest LP Purpose. On the sold-out Vegas stop of his Purpose tour, Bieber and his dozens of hired guns delivered on the promise of Purpose. The 22-year-old brought the entirety of the album to life, even though songs were scattered. As with most pop concerts, it was a visual feast that reflected the easily

digestible tunes. Bugatti Bieber entered the stage in a suspended glass box, and he scrawled letters on the walls using a marker during “Mark My Words.” (A note to Biebz: It’s spelled “Las Vegas," not “Los Vegas.”) He timed his firework-enhanced hip thrusts during “Boyfriend” and “Where Are Ü Now,” while his backup dancers performed Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatics that made his stiff breakdancing moves pale in comparison. The peak of this spectacle occurred during “Company,” when Bieber pop-and-locked and did backflips on a trampoline that was roughly four stories in the air. Oddly enough, Bieber was at his best when it was just him with his acoustic guitar, seated on a gaudy pink couch in the middle of the arena. Dressed in a white bandana, meticulously disheveled hair, an elongated flannel shirt and ripped jeans, Bieber riffed through “Love Yourself,” “Insecurities” and “Home to Mama” in terrific voice. It was like a twisted version of Cobain in Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York, but it proved that while Biebz may be the epitome of a modern pop star, it still takes talent to shine. ★★★✩✩ –Ian Caramanzana

abandonment, Suzanna fnally starts to grow a spine. But none of the moves seem contrived, and the caustic, clever dialogue drives the play forward. Becky Shaw isn’t a play that lends itself to famboyant staging—director Ann-Marie Pereth focuses on the pacing and the performances, which are consistently strong. Kelli Andino manages to make you feel sorry for Becky at the same time you’re repulsed by her; Russell Jeff Feher as Max is a likeable asshole who has a hilariously withering way with a put-down. Becky Shaw may be a miserable frst date, but it’s a fun night at the theater.

We talk about clarity, really. It takes time to learn the rhythm of what gets laughs and what you can get away with. I told them the frst 500 sets don’t matter. You’re just acclimating to the insane idea of “be funny now … with strangers looking at you.” I’ve been doing a lot more stand-up with [my sons] in little clubs. I’m going to shoot a special in Boston in late April for Netfix. I’ll be kind of practicing that at the Orleans. [My sons are] gonna do a couple of short sets. You’re well known for impressions. Was there a moment when you first realized you were good?

It was 1964. [My family] had a set of encyclopedias that came with LPs. At the end of 1963, it said, “The Beatles are making a big splash in Europe,” and it had them talking. Within a couple of days, I was able to do a Liverpudlian accent. I said to my mother [in accent], “Mom, do you think I could get me some pancakes?” [Laughs.] So that was the frst one.

What impressions can we expect in your act?

Dana Carvey

The comedian and SNL alum on performing with his sons, the trick to a Trump impression and why the Church Lady will never retire By Camille Cannon

My latest voice is Bernie Sanders. I also do Trump. Of course, everyone does Trump. [Mimics Donald Trump’s voice] Vegas is a fabulous place. Viva Las Vegas. Elvis. Sammy. Dean. He does this funny thing with his mouth. It’s a pursed lips thing; a pouty look. I’m working on my Hillary. I assume that with her, Bill has a microphone behind the scenes. [Mimics Bill Clinton] Now say that you didn’t know nothing about those emails. [Mimics Hillary Clinton] I knew nothing about the emails. [Bill] Yeah, just tell them there’s nothing in there, baby. I just thought of that, actually. [Laughs.] That would be funny if she had an earpiece. [Bill] Don’t answer that question, baby. [Hillary] I don’t think I should have to answer that question. This year marks the 20th anniversary of The Dana Carvey Show. Have you considered revisiting it?

It was sort of a fuke. It just didn’t belong on network TV. I’ve had people approach me recently about doing a documentary about the history of it because we had such an A-team. Steve Carell was just doing a show and was very

sweet about it. And [Stephen] Colbert. They had been passed over many times and were feeling kind of down when they got picked up for that show. According to them, not me, the stuff that they did on my show leveraged them into The Daily Show, and that’s what launched them. Of course, Louis [C.K.] was my head writer. That was his frst job as a head writer. He was only 29. We had Charlie Kaufman, Robert Smigel. It was just a thing in time. What other projects are you working on?

I just did a show [First Impressions] for USA Network. It’s a half-hour impressionist competition show. I turned it down over a couple of years. I said, “I don’t want to be a judge.” And they said, “Well you can just be off to the side and be a mentor and chime in and play games.” That’ll be out in May. My sons and I have been developing an idea for a show, the three of us. We might bring that out next year. It’s a scripted reality show where we play ourselves. Has the Church Lady retired?

Oh, no. I recently did the Church Lady in full regalia with Bill Gates at a Microsoft convention. I wasn’t doing George H.W. Bush, but I’ve brought him back because of how Trump dismantles Jeb. I understand that these are what I’m most known for. It’s incredibly fattering, and I’m happy to do it. I just do a lot of new stuff, too. I like when I can get the new stuff to kill as hard or harder than the old stuff. What inspires you to keep writing?

I don’t always know why I try. I’ll ask my wife (we’ve been married since 1983), “Did I ever talk about being famous and rich?” And she said no. It wasn’t in my brain. I’d see Robin Williams, who was my idol, and he would levitate the room. I would just think, “I gotta get better.” And that’s just what drives me. I’m always thinking, how can I get better? In fact, I’ll be writing right after we hang up.
