FEEL THE BURN

> BURNING AND DANCING The Life Cube returns to Downtown for an April 2 burn; (right) Bliss Dance is headed to the Strip.

The return of Life Cube and debut of Bliss Dance bring more Burning Man to Vegas Northern Nevada event Burning Man continues to make its presence felt here with two developments, one more permanent than the other. Another Life Cube—a community project that has seen editions rise and burn at both Burning Man festivals and Downtown—is going up on Fremont Street between Eighth and Ninth. Once the glass and metal framework is complete, artists of all stripes may decorate the cube starting March 19. (Ancillary activities, such as the creation of 200 satellite cubes for Clark County schools, will also take place.) During an April 2 event, it will burn, along with the wishes and affirmations placed by visitors and volunteers. Meanwhile, reconstruction of Bliss Dance, Marco Cochrane’s joyous, 40-foot-tall sculpture of a naked woman dancing, is already underway. It has gone from Burning Man 2010 to Treasure Island, San Francisco, to what hopefully will become its final post-playa home: MGM’s Park, which opens April 4. Evenings on the Strip will now be much more aglow thanks to the 3,000 LED lights dressing the steely but fluid artwork. –Mike Prevatt

EVERYBODY VROOM

‘THE MAYOR OF DOWNTOWN’ RIP Kent Johns, Atomic Liquors co-owner

A day at the scooter rally Punks, mods, a scientist and a group of Bay Area techies are all at the Gold Spike for the same reason: scooters. Here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, the High Rollers Weekend is well underway, and guys and gals from all walks are gathered in the parking lot full of vintage and new Vespas and Lambrettas, everyone geeking out over different parts, makes and models. My eye’s drawn to a Bianchi-green 1965 VBB Vespa— and one with “Mods Are Go!” written in silver duct tape above the muffler. It’s not every day you see a crew like this converge, but something about the culture brings unlikely friends together. “It’s partly the music, partly the scene,” says Paul Belcher, the aforementioned scientist from Boston (originally from London), who flew to Vegas just for the rally. “A lot of it’s to do with the clothes. It all stems from the 1960s scene back in the U.K. My dad was into it, so I

grew up with it.” At night, the party will move to a different location—yesterday it was all about soul inside the Golden Tiki, and tonight it’s Backstage Bar & Billiards for ska and reggae. Scooter connoisseur Vidur Sahney agrees that it’s more than music— it’s “clean living with a low budget, dressing sharp.” Whatever the reason, I’ll admit, it sounds like a gas. –Leslie Ventura

He was welcoming. A free spirit. An original. The life of the party. And that golf cart?! Oh man, you should’ve seen him in that cart, zipping around Downtown like a madman. Las Vegas said goodbye to a beloved East Fremont figure February 28, with the passing of Kent Johns, the Atomic Liquors co-owner often called “the mayor of Downtown.” He was 53. Johns died from complications following gastricbypass surgery, a step he took in anticipation of his upcoming restaurant, Atomic Kitchen. “I think he was trying to make the change for the beginning of his next adventure,” says Atomic general manager Rose Signor. “He had a different air about him. He just seemed so determined and happy to make the change.” Known as a jolly extrovert who would befriend anyone, no matter their station, Johns was born in Orange County, California, and moved to Las Vegas in 1989. He spent 15 years in commercial real estate before turning his attention to the Atomic full time. He loved his family, Downtown and film, and was always making connections (and jokes) from his favorite seat at the bar. “He was so invested in this place. He was so in love with the history of this place. And there’s nothing he wouldn’t have done to make this place what it is today,” his brother and business partner Lance Johns says. “I know a lot of people will miss seeing him in here.” We know we will. A memorial service will take place March 4 at 2 p.m. at Place on 7th, 115 Seventh St. –Kristy Totten

LIFE CUBE BY L.E. BASKOW

A BIG GULP OF BROADWAY The Smith Center unleashes a season of heavyweights

THE GROUPON FRINGE Robotic spiders, mermaid tails and very naughty lipstick Ever wanted an upside down Christmas tree? Or 10 pounds of marshmallows? Or maybe a remotecontrol tarantula? Embrace Groupon, where everything and anything has a price—and it’s discounted. 1. For just $118.99, you can flaunt a pink, crocheted mermaid tail that comes in both child and adult sizes. It’s described as “highly versatile,” a “complement to your decor” and an “exquisite and elegant” gift to give someone a “sweet winter.” So not only can you blend in with your curtains, you and your kid can wear this “versatile” piece to Walmart. 2. Silver Unique Shaped Trees. This is literally just a silver Christmas tree turned upside down. There’s no way you can put a tree topper on it, although there’s plenty of room for presents underneath. Listed at $720.96, it’s selling on Groupon for $456.99. But hey, it comes pre-lit. 3. Ten pounds of miniature marsh-

mallows ($31.74), flavored orange, strawberry, lemon and lime. If they were plain, I’d say hurrah to hot cocoa. But those fruit flavors … Well, at least you can use them as pillows. 4. If you’d like to freak out your older sister or mother, or maybe even get your dad to squeal, you need this robotic, life-size tarantula in your life. For just $19.99, maliciously control it from the other room. 5. Learn how to jet-pack for $83. I’m not sure how people use these, but flying over water powered by Jetsons technology sounds like a blast.

BLISS DANCE BY BEN MARGOT/AP; MOTOWN THE MUSICAL BY JOAN MARCUS

6. Release your anger: Rent a T-55 tank and completely crush a car. This $2,200 Groupon also comes with a mini gun rental and Humvee transportation, for that post-tank mellow. 7. Before scouring Groupon, I didn’t know that lipstick could be used as a tangible sexual device. My Secret Screaming O Lipstick Vibrator is a $9.99 way to discretely enjoy yourself. Just pray no one asks to borrow your lipstick. –Rosalie Spear For more weird and Vegas-specific Groupons, visit lasvegasweekly.com.

Dabblers and devotees, rejoice in the Smith Center’s recently announced Broadway season, a well-rounded slate of nine musicals ranging from family-friendly to classic to new. Fun Home (January 3-8, 2017), adapted from Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel, is the lineup’s main highlight. It won big at the 2015 Tony Awards, including best musical, best original score, best book and best direction. Set in a funeral home, it portrays the author at three ages, trying to make sense of her dysfunctional family and her sexuality. Beautiful—The Carole King Musical (September 20-October 2) might come off as a head-scratcher, but audiences quickly realize they know the songs, and find a deeper appreciation for the “Natural Woman” singer-songwriter. Also expect familiar tunes in jukebox sensation Motown the Musical (January 17-22, 2017). Matilda the Musical (March 14-19, 2017) was supposed to visit last year, so crowds are extra-hungry for its empowering message of individuality. And though it lacks critical acclaim, reinvented Peter Pan story Finding Neverland (February 14-19, 2017) is a battle-tested crowd-pleaser. Reynolds Hall will see the dancey An American in Paris (April 11-16, 2017), as well as classics The Sound of Music (August 2-14) and Irving Berlin’s White Christmas (November 22-27). The Phantom of the Opera (May 31-June 11, 2017) closes the season. By then, it will have been five years since Phantom wrapped at the Venetian, and a new generation will experience the haunting drama in its top-tier, full-touring glory. –Kristy Totten

SPECIAL LITTLE SOMETHING? As SLS evolves, an intimate, boutique-ish vibe becomes evident BY BROCK RADKE

> SHOWING OFF SLS’ Matt Minichino (left) and Live Nation’s Kurt Melien previewed the Foundry in January.

style gaming experience, and fancy (and spendy) LA retailer Fred Segal is all gone, replaced in some spaces by functionality, such as a swanky concierge lounge. Overall, today’s SLS experience feels boutique-y, a tightly packed enclave of entertainment through gaming, food and music. Bigger developments are on the way. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide will open its first W Hotel on the Strip when it takes over the 289-room Lux Tower at SLS. The conversion should be complete this fall, and the partnership will also place SLS in Starwood’s Tribute Portfolio, which comes with a fairly massive preferred-guest loyalty program and access to Starwood’s global distribution systems. The W tower will have its own “living room” lobby, the Away Spa, and Wet, an exclusive outdoor pool and bar. That pool will sit atop a new three-story building SLS plans to build to create more convention space. Because of its proximity to the Convention Center and its monorail station, SLS is slowly

growing a reputation as a fresh alternative for business travelers, and the W Hotel tower will provide a big boost. Wet will almost certainly bring an additional outdoor day/nightlife component to the resort, which already has the underrated indoor/outdoor club Foxtail. SLS still has a long way to ago. It’s trying to be a bit of a locals’ casino, and it has the right leader for that job in former Station Casinos and MGM Resorts executive Scott Kreeger. It’s trying to dip into the hipness associated with Downtown Las Vegas revitalization and the Cosmopolitan resort, which seems so far away on the south-central portion of the Strip. And it’s trying to establish its own Vegas identity, a tough task for a resort without neighbors with which it could be compared. But if you’ve spent any time at SLS, you’ve probably discovered something worthwhile, something that has stopped you from writing the place off. And if you’ve caught it on a good night, you’re probably looking forward to another one.

Hookup apps are among many reasons syphilis is on the rise “I hate this bug,” Kevin Spacey’s character says in the 1995 viral thriller Outbreak. Surely the folks over at the Southern Nevada Health District are muttering the same thing upon receiving data that syphilis infections have spiked again—128 percent since 2012 in Clark County, with nearly 90 percent involving men who have sex with men. And it’s not just syphilis. SNHD medical epidemiologist Tony Fredrick says chlamydia is running rampant in the Valley, too. “[STDs] kind of travel together. If you have one, you should test for the others.” The news is hardly a surprise; the U.S. saw a whopping 20,000 syphilis cases in 2014, with men who have sex with men comprising 83 percent of those cases. So what’s causing the surge in sores and the risky sex that enables them? Reasons abound: blasé attitudes about an easy-to-cure infection, high methamphetamine use by gay men, reluctance to undergo regular STD testing, low outreach and screening access in minority communities, lax attitudes about condoms (especially by users of the HIV-preventative drug PrEP) and—the most-discussed culprit—the proliferation of dating apps like Grindr, Tinder and Scruff, which facilitate anonymous hookups. “That’s a whole subworld, to put it lightly,” says Vince Collins, HIV services manager at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada. SNHD and the Center—the latter offering free syphilis and HIV testing, which is overseen by the former—have strategies in place to battle the bug, which can surface in the form of lesions and rashes, or remain invisible to its human host (and, if untreated, cause serious complications). Doctors are being encouraged to inquire about the sexual history of their patients. The Center is blanketing the Valley with safersex kits that foster conversation. Mobile screening vehicles are being dispatched in areas where residents may be less likely to patronize government-run clinics. And professionals like Collins are maintaining a non-judgmental, holistic tenor to ensure the message to get tested gets through. “It’s important to be healthy,” he says. “If you decide to have multiple sex partners, that’s a huge responsibility, and one you have to take seriously.” –Mike Prevatt

THE FOUNDRY BY L.E. BASKOW

It’s a Saturday night on the Strip, but is this the Strip? It feels different. Cool and real. Local hip-hop/jazz quintet The Lique is performing inside the Sayers Club, one of the most intimate music rooms in the city. Is this the Strip? And check out who’s coming to the bigger concert hall just a few steps away, the Foundry: Australian electronic project What So Not; Kanye West protégé, rapper, singer and actor Kid Cudi; eclectic singer and producer Santigold. These things are happening next door to the deliciously cheap 800 Degrees pizzeria and the expensively fantastic Bazaar Meat by world-beating chef José Andrés, who was just here a few weeks ago, unveiling the Foundry with a cooking demo with fellow culinary celeb Curtis Stone. Where are we again? This is the same SLS Las Vegas resort that Sam Nazarian and friends opened in the third quarter of 2014, but it’s not the same. It’s a casino and 1,600-room hotel owned and operated by Las Vegas Resort Holdings LLC, which is basically Stockbridge Capital Partners, the San Francisco-based conglomerate that bought out Nazarian’s 10 percent of the resort late last year. The SLS has struggled to attract a consistent audience from day one, mostly because of its isolated location at the north end of the Strip, but if you catch SLS on a good night it feels different. Cool and real. Certainly unlike any other spot on the Strip. Most of what makes up this vibe was here from the beginning, but considerable changes have been made at SLS, and more are on the way. The conversion of Life nightclub, a space that already felt theatrical and adjustable in its original form, into the multipurpose Foundry was a natural. The only SLS restaurant that didn’t immediately catch on, the Griddle, was converted into the more approachable Northside Café, an aroundthe-clock eatery that always seems packed. The Code players club was installed to incorporate a locals-

HOWARD W. CANNON AVIATION MUSEUM The 1958 Cessna 172 with the old Hacienda logo painted on it and the cherry-red ’56 Ford Thunderbird convertible mark the Aviation Museum inside McCarran International Airport. Dedicated to the history of Southern Nevada Aviation, this second-floor installation overlooking baggage claim is the highest-trafficked museum in the Valley (even if travelers don’t realize they’re patrons). Why the Thunderbird? It’s an exact duplicate of the one used as a “crash wagon” at Alamo Airport, which later became McCarran. McCarran International Airport. NEON MUSEUM It’s hard to believe that the Neon Museum, home to the atomic Stardust letters and script of the white Moulin Rouge signs, only officially opened to the public in 2012 with guided daily tours. It’s been part of Las Vegas for decades, growing from a Yesco storage lot to a large boneyard appearing in movies like Mars Attacks!, TV shows and magazine fashion spreads, always racing to keep up with the implosions and raising funds for costly rescues. A favorite among locals and tourists, the outdoor collection of more than 100 signs representing the stylish history of Las Vegas continues to awe. Large and sculptural, worn and

restored, they once famously fronted elegant casinos or small businesses within the community and tower above the corridors they create. Tours head out from the entrance— the relocated La Concha Motel lobby, designed by architect Paul Revere Williams and built on Las Vegas Boulevard in 1961—embarking on a well-scripted journey of Las Vegas past and present. 770 Las Vegas Blvd. N., 702-387-6366.

It was a big moment when a representative from the American Alliance of Museums paid a visit to the North Las Vegas nonprofit last summer to look at its African art and artifacts and advise it on seeking museum status. The rich display of African masks, sculptures, figures, objects, instruments and cloths began decades ago

when LOC founder Vicki Richardson began collecting while living on a teacher’s salary. It expanded when she met her husband, who’d lived in Sierra Leone. After putting their private collection on public display, LOC received others from local collectors Walker and Calvin B. Jones. 2207 W. Gowan Road, 702-647-7378.

LEFT OF CENTER ART GALLERY’S MUSEUM COLLECTION OF AFRICAN ART An a-Mantsho-na-Tshol mask from the Baga in Guinea and a Kakungu mask from the Suku in Congo are displayed here, among others used in ceremonies by various tribes. Carved wood adorned with cowrie shells, paint, raffia, hair and fabric, they demonstrate their influence in modern art. And a wooden wedding bowl from Tanzania’s Makonde, a cloth from the Ashanti in Ghana and Swaziland baskets tell the stories behind the handcrafted works. “With African art you really start to see the humanity of the cultures,” says Left of Center Art Gallery administrator Mary Lou Evans, after explaining the role of a large wooden bowl set outside a family’s home and filled with community offerings in times of need. As local collector Joseph Walker says in a video documentary playing inside LOC, “the art is only coincidental.” March 3-9, 2016 LasVegasWeekly.com

MOB MUSEUM Spending less than three hours on your first trip to the Mob Museum is way too breezy for this collection so fascinating and vast it fills three floors of the former Downtown courthouse and post office built in 1933. It opened on Valentine’s Day 2012, completing a longtime dream of former Mayor Oscar Goodman, and preceded by controversy over funding and concerns that it would glamorize violent criminals. But it has proven a rich and dynamic educational institution. The second-floor courtroom used for the Kefauver Committee hearings aimed at exposing organized crime sits in situ, anchoring the collection of once-classified documents, photographs and artifacts illustrating the rift between law enforcement and crime. The museum houses the actual wall from the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, still bloodstained and bullet-ridden. A police lineup, an electric chair and a gun-wielding simulation are among the interac-

Opened in 1991 to house a wildlife collection and prehistoric display, this Smithsonian affiliate in the Cultural Corridor has been triumphant despite its limited space. Founding director Marilyn Gillespie’s familiar description of growth challenges as “dinosaurs with an 11-foot ceiling” hasn’t stopped the accredited museum from being field-trip central for more than two decades. Bighorn sheep climb mountainous crags in the Nevada Wildlife Gallery, where snakes burrow in the ground under native brush. Taxidermied predators roam the Serengeti against wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling murals in the African Savanna exhibit. And the prehistoric gallery is soundtracked by the roars of 35-foot-long, animatronic Tyrannosaurus rex—the kid-magnet of natural history. The Strip’s habit of fabricating historical icons sneaks in. Treasures of Egypt, donated by the Luxor when the casino toned down its theme, has King Tut’s golden sarcophagus transporting you inside the ancient teen ruler’s burial chamber. 900 Las Vegas Blvd. N., 702-384-3466.

BARRICK MUSEUM What started as UNLV’s original gymnasium (its old Beauregard mascot still sealed to the wooden floor) became the home of the Barrick Museum in the late 1970s, when Barrick was a natural history museum with a focus on pre-Columbian and Native American art and artifacts. In 2012, it became an art museum when it reopened as part of the College of Fine Arts with an exhibit of works from the closed Las Vegas Art Museum’s private collection. Since then exhibits have shown everything from the commanding 3D presence of John Millei’s abstract paintings to the vibrant and intense recombinations of Break Ups and Tear Downs by Las Vegas artists Wendy Kveck and JK Russ and former Las Vegas resident Erin Stellmon. The museum houses a healthy

Standing in the tidy historic site with Las Vegas Boulevard traffic on the other side of the fence, visitors are simultaneously in the past and present. In 1855 Mormon missionaries settled here, building a 150-squarefoot adobe fort along Las Vegas Creek before abandoning it to farm. Some of the original walls still stand. The site later became a ranch owned by Helen J. Stewart, a famed pioneer who raised five children alone and became the largest landowner in the county. Her reconstructed house seals you in another era. 500 E. Washington Ave., 702-486-3511. BURLESQUE HALL OF FAME From pasties, panties and delicately beaded and sequined costumes to a timeline of the art form’s femme fatales, the goods on display are juicy indeed. Founded by former dancer Jennie Lee (who also founded the Exotic Dancers League) in the ’60s and moved to Las Vegas from Helendale, California, in 2006, the museum has burlesque star Dixie Evans at the helm of its annual weekend celebration, which brings thousands from around the world for performances and workshops. In 2010 the burlesque trove moved into Emergency Arts, a pocket space just off the Beat Coffeehouse. More than $32,000 raised on a recent Indiegogo brought in 65 percent of its fundraising goal for a new home opening late this fall. 520 Fremont St.

Chicken Ranch brothel exhibit, it links in a hyper-niche of human sexuality and leads into two floors on sex’s role in politics, religion, law and popular culture (complete with a sexualized Star Wars display with a naughty Stormtrooper by a Landspeeder). Opened in 2008 by San Franciscobased Exodus Trust, the museum temporarily closed in 2014. Property owner Harry Mohney has since reopened the museum as a for-profit, and it’s now home to the show Puppetry of the Penis, as well as mammalian penis bones, the prop-heavy history of peep shows, video porn through the decades and artifacts ranging from a metal chastity belt to re-created porn-star vaginas. 3275 S. Industrial Road, 702-794-4000. NATIONAL ATOMIC TESTING MUSEUM

NEVADA STATE MUSEUM From showgirl artifacts in a shimmering wall to bones, miners and native life, this museum has it covered. Long operating out of a Lorenzi Park building, this accredited museum reopened at the Springs Preserve in 2011, a move into a $51.5 million facility that effected a transformation. It tells the story of Nevada through interactive exhibits and a wealth of artifacts, from ancient fossils to the trappings of atomic testing and gaming. You can even learn about wildlife indigenous to the Strip. A gallery has featured rotating exhibits including the history of modern-day communication, Mexican embroidery and Nevada-inspired contemporary

art. And the museum’s recent acquisitions include the entire wardrobe collection from the now-closed showgirl spectacular Folies Bergere. 309 S. Valley View Blvd., 702-486-5205. EROTIC HERITAGE MUSEUM Most people will live their entire lives not expecting to see a pair of panties once belonging to Hitler’s companion Eva Braun, but the large lingerie is front and center in Sex in the Third Reich, an exhibit providing a tiny glimpse into the sexual climate and politics between World Wars I and II, explaining at the outset its use of offensive symbolism to display how iconography is used to control and brainwash societies. Located near a

Dioramas of Cold War America take us inside a family fallout shelter and a government office in a classified world, showing midcentury realities of nuclear fear. Starting out as a small collection in a room off the library at the Department of Energy on Losee Road, this national archive of Nevada’s relationship with nuclear testing is a Smithsonian-affiliated institution. Its 8,000 square feet show the havoc atomic warfare wreaked on Japan while becoming a pop-culture focus in America—particularly in Nevada, where bars celebrated the theme and people watched test-blasts in the desert. Told through more than 12,000 artifacts, the story includes videos, documents and displays, from geiger counters to a simulated atomic blast that will tell you “duck and cover” would never have worked. 755 E. Flamingo Road, 702-794-5151.

CLARK COUNTY MUSEUM Homes of early Las Vegas have taken over Heritage Street at the Clark County Museum, where relocated historic buildings make up the quaint neighborhood. The giant open-air diorama on a gravel road leads to a ’60s-era Gothic-revival wedding chapel that once sat next to the Riviera. Sidewalks under the canopies of mature trees take visitors into a 1935 Tudor revival built originally on Downtown’s Seventh Street, and a restored 1912 California bungalow featuring a vast front porch with rocking chairs. A three-bedroom Townsite Home, one of many famous temporary homes built to accommodate workers of the Basic Magnesium Plant, includes an exhibit about Southern Nevada’s role in the Second World War. The experience is Memory Laneesque, even for those whose knowledge of early 20th-century America was handed down by popular culture. Among the painstakingly decorated interiors is a 1930s Las Vegas motor-court cabin paired with a 1948 silver Spartanette trailer, the Candlelight Wedding Chapel, a railroad depot and a print shop, some inhabited by mannequins. The small ghost town and walking trail take visitors back another century with structures and artifacts. And inside the museum’s exhibit hall sits a diorama-to-diorama narrative of the area, starting with the Ice Age and dipping into gaming, mining, wildlife and native cultures. 1830 S. Boulder Highway, 702-455-7955. Find more about local museums at lasvegasweekly.com, from Hoover Dam history to Hispanic art in a shopping mall.

architect

fter more than 25 years doing what he does, Jerry Klint still comes charging out of bed in the morning. Of course, he’ll tell you it’s easy to be passionate when your job is as exciting and rewarding as his. Klint is vice president of development and construction for Hakkasan Group, supervising design and management for the global hospitality giant’s projects worldwide. In Las Vegas, that means delivering new restaurants like Herringbone and pushing the speedy development of new nightclub Jewel, but those projects are only a fraction of what Hakkasan is doing. “From this year into the first quarter of 2017, we have 10 domestic projects and 10 international projects all in some stage, cradle to grave,” he says. “It’s a really exciting place to be right now and an exciting role, considering the people and places I get to engage with. It sounds cliché, but honestly, in my years here, I’ve never felt for one day that I was just getting up and coming to work. It always changes, and it’s never boring.”

s t a n d

Klint and his cohorts make it look easy, delivering incredible, memorable, unique venues in various cities around the world, but there’s a galaxy of complexity involved, from language barriers to jurisdictional issues. “One big project is a bit easier to manage than 10 small projects which each go through their own process,” he says. “The most exciting thing for me is taking a concept we’re just talking about and nine or 12 months later you walk in and see it in reality. I can hardly believe we actually created that and it’s that close to what we imagined those few months ago.”

Jewel, which will open May 19 at Aria on the Las Vegas Strip, is coming into focus now, and if Klint is excited about it, we should be, too. “Everyone said Omnia was the new threshold, that the bar had been set. I can tell you that in technology, Jewel is different, equally exciting, and is using new technology that has not been seen anywhere in the U.S. yet,” he says. “We are working with some new products and the first tests have been jaw-dropping moments.” –Brock Radke

Club, who will be sporting exclusive Luli Fama designs—a Miami-based brand frequently featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue—come Friday’s opening day. “Many different philosophies go into picking the right suit,” says Ryan Jones, GM at Encore Beach Club and Surrender Nightclub. “We need to make sure it is something that is going to be durable and can stand up to the weather, party atmosphere and use.” This season’s swimsuits stay true to the Encore Beach Club aesthetic—sleek, sexy and done in the club’s signature colors. This year, the staff has three top options to choose from—a black and gold or red and gold diamond-printed bikini, or a sportier red top with gold

trim—each paired with a red or black bottom. Given the recent upswing in workout wear, the sport top is EBC’s most on-trend for 2016, with similar styles seen all over the resort-wear runway. As a collection, the three suits signify a playful sophistication. The colors are exclusive to EBC, so the staff can stand out from the crowd, Jones says. While you can’t get these specific suits in stores, you can browse hundreds of dayclub-ready designs at lulifama.com or in person at Nordstrom. –Leslie Ventura

nown for hits “Party Hard” and “She Is Beautiful,” Andrew W.K. is a singer, musician, writer, motivational speaker and DJ whose lifeblood is bringing the party to the masses. With his bone-straight brown hair and allwhite outfit, the 6-foot-3 rock star can be spotted from a mile away creating good vibes wherever he goes—and his DJ residency at the Hard Rock Hotel’s Center Bar is no exception.

“It’s great to focus back in on songs that maybe wouldn’t go over so well in other settings—they’re really embraced in the Hard Rock,” W.K. says. “People really go there, I think, more than any other casino, as music lovers and as rock music lovers.” He debuted his “The Partiest Mix of Party Music You’ve Ever Partied To!” set in February, and describes his DJ nights as “upbeat, fun-loving and party-rocking,” fueled by classic hard-rock hits like Dio’s “Holy Diver” and Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” to longer tracks like Meatloaf’s “Bat Out of Hell.” Though W.K. is no stranger to setting the ultimate party vibe, his definition of “party” might come as a surprise. “It’s just an outlook that says, as far as we can tell … we exist in this

particular way right now, and that if we’re thankful for that chance to exist, we can celebrate.” No wonder people call him the real-life party god.

he jet-setting DJ life offers free time only in certain intervals and in specific settings ... in the air, for example. “I’m not very good at making music on a plane,” explains Morgan Page. “In the eight or nine years I’ve been DJing, I’ve never gotten substantial stuff done on plane trips other than arrangements, but it’s great for doing a mix show.”

P A G E

That’s why the Grammy-nominated DJ, producer, and Light resident performer named his SiriusXM show In the Air, which has aired every Thursday night for much of the past six years. Page uses his flight time to assess and collect new music, filter through fresh sounds and present a diversity of genres and songs on his show. “The main focus is highlighting new music, a lot of mine and my friends, but really everything that’s jumping out at me,” says the Vermont native, whose 2015 album DC to Light took inspiration from and was literally powered by cleanenergy methods. “I think the show has helped establish me as a tastemaker, which helps. Whether I’m making a mix

to fit the show or if I’m playing live, the emphasis is always on songs that will be more durable over time.” This weekend in Las Vegas, Page celebrates his 300th episode of In the Air with a special performance at Light. Expect guest artists, interactivity with fans via social media and some surprises. “Some I have to keep secret,” Page says, “but really, we’re just celebrating that milestone.” Morgan Page at Light at Mandalay Bay, March 5. –Brock Radke

f you ever spent time in City Bar, Aria’s easily bypassed, central casino sports bar, its transformation could come as quite a shock. The former Light Group took charge of this venue and converted it into a swanky cocktail lounge in 2014, and in recent months, Hakkasan Group struck a match and shaped it into Alibi Ultra Lounge, where DJs spin nightly starting at around 10 p.m.

p e r f e c T When things really get going, curtains are drawn and the stylish nook feels like an intimate and sought-after experience. It’s no surprise Alibi has found new life in 2016. It will be the perfect before or after activation for Jewel, Hakkasan’s new nightclub opening in May just an escalator ride away. But more significantly, the new lounge model looks back a decade to a time when smaller, more adjustable nightlife venues were all the rage on the Las Vegas Strip. The

scene is cyclical; today’s party people want the massive experience one night and something warmer, more conversational and relaxed the next. With its lush decor, focus on mixology and moody vibe that adjusts to its patrons’ desires, Alibi plays all the right notes. Alibi Ultra Lounge at Aria, 702-6938300; daily noon-5 a.m. –Brock Radke

where else in Vegas—other than at its Monte Carlo location.

Having just celebrated its grand reopening in February, Minus5 Ice Bar has doubled in space with its recent renovation—a revamped 3,000-square-foot ice lounge and a 1,300-square-foot ice bar in the back, where everything from the seats and tables to the glasses are made from 120 tons of Canadian ice. This is one of Vegas’ truly unique escapes. From its giant ice sculptures of Game of Thrones’ Iron Throne and the Welcome to Las Vegas sign to the pink, blue and green lights that cover the bar in a spectrum of colors, Minus5

is quintessential Vegas in frozen-form: out-of-the-ordinary and completely surreal fun. Plus, there’s a fuzzy penguin mascot roaming around the lounge for perfectly Instagrammable photo ops. If Vegas is all about the experience, then partying in an ice bar (in a parka or faux-fur coat, no less) in the middle of the desert should certainly be on your list of things to do. Minus5 at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702-7405800; Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.2 a.m., Friday & Saturday, 11 a.m.3 a.m. –Leslie Ventura

00 Degrees is the classic neighborhood pizzeria of the Las Vegas Strip. With two locations on Sin City’s main drag (Strip-side at the Monte Carlo’s hip BLVD Plaza and just outside the Foundry and Sayers Club music halls at SLS), the fast-casual, create-your-own pizza chain is perfect for satisfying late-night, post-party appetites. Why? Because the soft, chewy Neapolitan crust is the ideal vessel for your favorite toppings. Because whether you dig classic marinara or pine nut-basil pesto, crowdpleasing pepperoni or imported Italian rosemary ham, you always get it your way here. And because it’s hard to beat a fresh, hot pie at the end of a full night, especially when the prices are unbelievably low.

If it’s your first time, put your hunger in the kitchen’s capable hands by trying a specialty pizza. We recommend the Angry Bee, a spicy and sweet combination of soppressata, garlic, Calabrian chilies and honey. If you want to go a bit gourmet, experience the freshness of the BLT, a white pie with bacon jam, arugula and cherry tomatoes.

hen you talk to James Reynolds, his pride and passion for delivering a unique experience is obvious. Having worked in the restaurant industry for most of his life, Reynolds landed a job at Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle three years ago, calling it one of the best places a person can be. Apparently, the feelings were mutual. Reynolds recently moved to Las Vegas to take over as general manager of the Hard Rock Cafe’s Strip location, one of the largest in the world. And after just six months, Reynolds was awarded by the company as GM of the year for 2015. “We’ve been fortunate enough to have a team here that really bought into the experience we want to provide,” he says. “The music element is ever-present … that’s something we take a lot of pride in.” For years, the Strip location of the iconic venue provided a stage for local musicians during a monthly event called Tuesday Blend, and the café continues to feature live music seven days a week. And that doesn’t even count the venue upstairs—the 1,200-capacity Hard Rock Live—which boasts a world-class sound system in an intimate space. Whether you come for the food, the music or both, there’s a reason why this Hard Rock stands out. “We have a lot of fun, and it flows into what the guests see and experience,” Reynolds says. “Whether for dinner or a concert, It’s unlike anything you’re going to see anywhere else.” –Leslie Ventura

Like a Formula 1 car, you have to learn to drive it. It has so much age and wisdom. It’s like it knows the Concerto better than me. And this is no easy concerto.

Seeking revenge for a U.S. drone strike, terrorists attack London, targeting the funeral of the prime minister, which is attended by dozens of world leaders. The one thing they didn’t count on was the one American badass capable of killing hundreds of bad guys without being winged. Thus London Has Fallen—a sequel to 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen—is a lukewarm, corn chowder retread of White House Down, strained through Die Hard, Under Siege, Air Force One and dozens of others.

Babak Najafi directs with a handful of bad CGI explosions, as well as a couple of long-take shootouts that briefly break the boredom. Truly, the highlight is watching the various VIPs assemble during the film’s first 10 minutes, before the order is disturbed by brain-dead chaos. Afterward, there’s the nagging feeling: Isn’t it just a little wrong to pass this kind of thing off as entertainment anymore? Oscar nominees Angela Bassett, Jackie Earle Haley, Melissa Leo and Robert Forster barely even have any dialogue, but Morgan Freeman’s Speaker Trumbull has been promoted to vice president.

Animal instincts

Disney’s Zootopia presents an entertaining menagerie By Josh Bell Frozen has become such a behemoth that it’s easy to forget how diverse Disney’s animated slate has been over the last several years.

ing them the right mix of sass and sweetness. Zootopia itself is so impressively realized that just taking a tour of the city is enough to keep the audience hooked, with clever background details in nearly every frame. The movie gets a lot of comedic mileage out of simply having the animals remain in proportional size to each other, so that tiny mice coexist with giant rhinos, all of them talking and shopping and wearing business suits. Judy and Nick are perfect tour guides to this bright, colorful world, along with its darker corners, where animals’ baser instincts come out of hiding. The movie fits its sunny and shady sides together well, placing family-friendly messages into an innovative and consistently entertaining package.

Zootopia provides a thoroughly engaging mystery with some satisfying twists and turns, even if the outcome for the mismatched Judy and Nick (eventual friendship and mutual respect) is predictable. The dynamic among species (and specifically between former predators and prey) forms an extended metaphor for racism that gets more than a little belabored in the movie’s final act, in a way that might be lost on smaller children but will probably make their parents a bit exasperated. Still, directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore and the team of writers never stray too far from the lively central storyline, and the main characters are likable and multi-dimensional, with Goodwin and Bateman giv-

Directed by Mamoru Hosoda. 119 minutes. Rated PG-13. This Japanese animated movie awkwardly combines a coming-of-age story with a fantasy adventure, as a young boy travels to an alternate dimension and becomes the apprentice to a beastly martial-arts master. The first half is entertaining, but the second half loses its focus as the boy grows up and returns to the real world. –JB Theaters: SC, TS London Has Fallen abccc Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman.

Deadpool aaacc Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein. Directed by Tim Miller. 108 minutes. Rated R. The long-in-the-works movie starring sarcastic, ultraviolent Marvel Comics anti-hero Deadpool (Reynolds) is vulgar, gory and selfaware. In between his dirty jokes and self-referential insults, Deadpool participates in a fairly familiar superhero origin story. Only about half the jokes land, but the enthusiasm of the production makes up for the rest. –JB Theaters: AL, CAN, CH, COL, DI, FH, GVL, ORL, PAL, RP, RR, SF, SHO, SP, SS, ST, TS, TX, VS

Eddie the Eagle aaccc Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Jo Hartley. Directed by Dexter Fletcher. 105 minutes. Rated PG-13. The creators of this heavily fictionalized biopic have molded the underdog sports story of unlikely Olympic ski jumper Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Egerton) into a sappy, contrived, self-consciously wacky family comedy. It’s phonier and more manipulative than the prefab backstory video packages that air during the actual Olympics. –JB Theaters: AL, BS, CAN, CH, COL, DTS, FH, GVL, ORL, PAL, SC, SF, SP, SS, TS, TX Gods of Egypt abccc Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Brenton Thwaites, Gerard Butler. Directed by Alex Proyas. 127 minutes. Rated PG-13. The gods in Gods of Egypt might as well be superheroes or cyborgs for all their connection to actual mythology, and the movie itself is a cacophony of garish special effects and loud, blustery action. It’s a simple quest story that gets muddled with various side missions and a thoroughly confusing climax. –JB Theaters: AL, CH, DI, FH, GVR, ORL, PAL, RP, RR, SF, SHO, SP, SS, ST, TS, TX, VS Kung Fu Panda 3 aaacc Voices of Jack Black, Bryan Cranston, J.K.

Director Hopkins renders it all in broad strokes, with a bland, TV-movie flatness. –JB Theaters: AL, BS, COL, DI, DTS, RP, SC, SHO The Revenant aaacc Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson. Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. 156 minutes. Rated R. DiCaprio makes his bid for Oscar glory as Hugh Glass, a real-life fur trapper and frontier guide who trekked 200 miles across unforgiving terrain when he was left for dead after being mauled by a bear. As a survival tale, it’s gripping entertainment; as a revenge saga, it’s largely empty. –MD Theaters: BS, GVR, ORL, RR, SC, SF, SP Risen abccc Joseph Fiennes, Tom Felton, Peter Firth. Directed by Kevin Reynolds. 107 minutes. Rated PG-13. This ridiculous religious drama makes Jesus’ resurrection into a plodding procedural, led by Fiennes as a Roman tribune looking for the supposed messiah’s dead body. The movie is dull and drab and fails at both historical dramatization and religious inspiration. –JB Theaters: AL, CH, COL, FH, PAL, RP, RR, SF, SHO, SP, SS, ST, TS, TX, VS Son of Saul aaabc Géza Röhrig, Levente Molnár, Urs Rechn. Directed by László Nemes. 107

minutes. Rated R. In Hungarian, Yiddish and German with English subtitles. Hungarian filmmaker Nemes manages to make the horrors of the Holocaust immediate and visceral again with this haunting Oscar-nominated drama about a Jew forced to aid the Nazis at Auschwitz. Nemes uses a narrow visual focus to place the audience alongside his main character, experiencing the same disorientation and panic. –JB Theaters: SC Spotlight aaaac Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams. Directed by Tom McCarthy. 128 minutes. Rated R. Director and co-writer McCarthy’s drama about the Boston Globe reporting on the Catholic Church molestation scandal applies the same meticulous attention to detail as the Globe writers did in their reporting. The stars manage to turn sitting and listening into riveting drama, and the acting is powerful in how subdued it is. –JB Theaters: AL, CH, FH, GVR, ORL, RR, SC, SF, SP, ST Triple 9 aaacc Chiwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie. Directed by John Hillcoat. 115 minutes. Rated R. This thriller begins with an exciting, superbly crafted heist sequence, setting up expectations that the rest of the movie mostly fails to meet. There are a lot of shifting alliances and double-crosses among the movie’s cops and criminals, but following the opening sequence, mild interest is the best the movie can manage. –JB Theaters: AL, CAN, CH, DI, FH, GVR, ORL, PAL, RP, RR, SF, SHO, SP, SS, ST, TS, TX, VS

> Playing with Madness Bruce Dickinson, fronting Iron Maiden at Mandalay Bay.

Phil Lesh, by the numbers Tallying up the Grateful Dead bassist’s recent Brooklyn Bowl run

Sets performed—two apiece Friday and Saturday nights by Lesh’s primary touring outfit, Phil & Friends, and another Sunday afternoon from Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band.

Lesh’s musical Friends at the show I caught on Friday: lead guitarists John Kadlecik and Stanley Jordan, rhythm guitarist Grahame Lesh (Phil’s son), organist Jason Crosby, violinist Boyd Tinsley (of Dave Matthews Band fame), drummer John Molo and percussionist Alex Koford.

Grateful Dead originals played during the weekend (none repeated, naturally), from psychedelic ’60s warhorses like “That’s It for the Other One,” “St. Stephen” and “Dark Star” to latter-day favorites like “Shakedown Street,” “Althea” and “Touch of Grey.” At my show, opener “Mason’s Children” made for a nice surprise, building from a spacey intro jam into a driving fist-pumper, then seguing niftily into a fun “Fire on the Mountain,” featuring consecutive solos from Tinsley, Crosby and Kadlecik.

Heavy metal lifers Iron Maiden soldier on with enthusiasm By Josh Bell

C O N C E RT

Covers showcasing jazzman Jordan on Night 1: The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby,” Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and “Over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz. On all three, the guitarist demonstrated his spellbinding two-handed tapping technique—he produces notes by applying quick pressure on his fretboard, rather than strumming or plucking—and all three were met, deservedly, by rapturous applause from the crowd.

Lesh’s age, until he turns 76 on March 15. In 1998, he underwent a liver transplant, and to this day he encourages audiences to sign up for organ donation with a nightly “donor rap” before encores. Lesh, who was also treated for bladder cancer in 2015, looked and sounded healthy Friday night. –Spencer Patterson

The Canadian quartet’s physical set matched the intricacy and intrigue of the musical output. Two giant, triangular instillations shot laser light beams toward the audience, thrilling some and blinding others, and the stage filled with fog during “Twilight Galaxy.” Pulling inspiration from another electro-pop outfit, Metric got all Daft Punk on “Cascades,” as James Shaw, Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott-Key wore fluorescently-lit welders masks while singer Emily Haines rocked a sheer, green cape. The main set’s second half was especially strong, peaking with “Gold Guns Girls” off 2009’s Fantasies and current jam “The Shade” off last year’s Pagans in Vegas. The latter saw the entire audience reach (February 29, fever pitch singing along with Haines’ “I want it all/I want it all.” “Breathing Underwater,” one of Brooklyn Bowl) Metric’s most beautiful songs, was played as a dance remix with unnecessary vocal effects. Haines’ voice can carry just about any tune, and the song’s new tempo lessened its impact. It wasn’t until the band closed with an a capella singalong that the song finally found some footing. More effective: The band brought up about 20 audience members to harmonize on “Dreams So Real.” A rare instance where audience participation actually made a good song better. –Jason Harris

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis This Unruly Mess I’ve Made aaacc Following the unexpected success of 2012 debut The Heist, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis return with their second album together, This Unruly Mess I’ve Made. Here again, Mack’s brand of classic hip-hop-inspired pop rap toes the line between humorous (cuts like “Dance Off”) and heavy handed (“St. Ides,” which explores alcoholism), and does both well. His apologetic persona manifests on opening cut “Light Tunnels” and on the controversial “White Privilege II,” proving he’s still willing to address uncomfortable topics. Musically, however, “White Privilege II” and preceding single “Downtown” both wander all over the place, and that sense of overreach pervades the album as a whole. One minute, we get a safe, adult-contemporary, crossover cut featuring Ed Sheeran (“Growing Up”), the next Mack’s spray-painting boom bap with KRS-One & DJ Premier on “Buckshot.” Fortunately, Mack is an able poet, who transcends the aptly titled Unruly Mess to keep you hanging on his words. –Mike Pizzo

THE 1975 I Like It When You Sleep … aabcc Fast-rising U.K. band The 1975 has been touring relentlessly for the past four years, building a rabid, young fanbase in the process. Judging by awkwardly titled second album I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It, the band could more aptly be named The 1985. Pulling from pop’s greatest generation yields mixed results, working well on the funky “Love Me,” which sounds a bit like when Duran Duran teamed with Nile Rodgers, but borrowing the cheesy production style of the era on “A Change of Heart” and “She’s American.” (The latter does feature the great lyric, though: “If she says I’ve got to fix my teeth, then she’s so American.”) As the album title suggests, there’s a Tumblr-esque quality to both singer Matthew Healy’s words and the song titles (see especially: “Please Be Naked”). But the record’s bigger issue is that it doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be, emulating several different bands of the past without creating a style of its own. –MP

LORETTA LYNN Full Circle aaacc The last time country icon Loretta Lynn recorded a new album, 2004’s Van Lear Rose, she collaborated with Jack White on songs that reached out to a new audience, garnering critical acclaim and award attention. There’s no such outreach on Full Circle, a collection of mostly covers that looks backward even on its handful of original compositions. At 83, Lynn doesn’t need to be breaking new ground, and she sounds relaxed on laid-back versions of her own past hits, a couple of old Carter Family chestnuts and a few somewhat sappy pop standards. She conjures a bit of her renowned feistiness on new song “Everything It Takes,” co-written with Todd Snider and featuring harmony vocals by Elvis Costello, and asks “Who’s Gonna Miss Me?” on her other original songwriting contribution. It’s the years of country classics, rather than this sweet but forgettable collection, that ensure a chorus of positive responses to that question. –Josh Bell

The Gloves Are Off

> Iron throne Tyson’s back in the ring, sort of, with Undisputed Truth.

Mike Tyson squares off with himself in Undisputed Truth By John katsilometes Mike Tyson’s life and career has been an exercise in harnessing. As a fighter, Tyson’s inherent rage was harnessed by Cus D’Amato, who molded him into the youngest undisputed heavyweight champ in history. Today, it’s a matter of harnessing Tyson’s freewheeling oratory, while molding a stage show at an underground comedy club on the Strip. Mike Tyson Undisputed Truth, Tyson’s foray into the arena of autobiographical monologue, returns to MGM Grand at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club this week. The show premieres March 3 and runs Thursday to Sunday through June 26. Tyson says prepping for the cozy confines of Garrett’s comedy club, which seats 250, is like stepping back in the ring. Except that he makes the rules and there is no defined opponent. “It’s the same thing as boxing—it’s combat,” Tyson says while sitting on a sofa in producer Adam Steck’s office in Green Valley. “But I am fighting myself, and if I don’t entertain these people, I fail. I lose.” Tyson’s show debuted at the MGM Grand in March 2012, in the venue then known as Hollywood Theatre (now David Copperfield Theater). From there, it made the uncommon Vegas-to-Broadway trek, debuting at Longacre Theatre in August 2012. Broadway heavyweight James L. Nederlander produced that version of the show and Spike Lee directed, and Steck is quick to remind that it’s the first (and so far, only) production conceived and premiered in Las Vegas to be performed on Broadway. A 36-show national tour and an HBO special in November 2013 followed, and Tyson has since performed in Australia and Europe (though the leg of that run through the United Kingdom was canceled because immigration officials declined Tyson’s entry into the story for his felony criminal record in the States). What Tyson has found is a thus-far insatiable appetite from fans to learn of his fascinating life and career. “Let’s face it,” he says, in characteristic candor. “I’m a thug. I’ve been an animal, at times. People want to hear from me about what it’s like to be me.” Though there’s video planned in the show, the chief draw is the physi-

returning to Vegas to run the kitchen, we knew the food would probably be great. But it’s better than great, and Herringbone, with its lounge-style dining room and crisp, sun-soaked patio, is one of the most relaxed restaurant experiences on the Strip. Already.

The beautiful crudo selection is another easy win, but the hot small plates are just as captivating: grilled baby octopus ($18); crispy calamari with peppers and lemon ($16); meatballs in pork gravy with whipped ricotta ($16). The burrata ($19) isn’t so much a salad as a build-your-own open-faced sandwich extravaganza with prosciutto di parma and roasted tomatoes on grilled bread. If you were a regular at Nove during Bernardo’s tenure, you’ll be pleased to see his signature seafood spaghetti ($45)—spicy tomato sauce with lobster, crab, scallop, shrimp and squid—is faithfully replicated here. There’s whole grilled branzino ($45) with shaved fennel salad or the California version, white sea bass ($38) with root veggies and truffle vinaigrette. If you don’t love seafood, you’ll be just fine at Herringbone, but it’d be a lot cooler if you did. They have a couple of steaks, a Colorado lamb rack ($52) and a roasted chicken with panzanella salad ($34). And there’s lunch! Herringbone does a great lunch, mixing those raw dishes and hot appetizers with salads and sandwiches like chicken parm ($19), a classic Italian hoagie ($18) and the soon-tobe legendary carbonara burger ($21). The patio has quickly become a Strip hot spot at lunch, and it’s only the beginning ... brunch is coming soon.

WHAT WE WANT FROM MOMOFUKU

Here’s hoping David Chang does his greatest hits at the Cosmopolitan BY ANDY WANG

It’s crazy when you think about all the spectacular restaurants in Vegas and realize that the city’s most anticipated opening ever has just been announced. We’re of course talking about David Chang’s Momofuku, which started as a New York City ramen joint and has become an unstoppable indie brand that’s changed the game in New York and beyond. No other chef has weaved together loose Asian influences with classic cooking skills, 21st-century attitude and DGAF creativity in such a high-profile way. Chang has managed to lead the charge away from white tablecloths and toward boisterous soundtracks while also operating one of New York’s more pristine tasting-menu spots. He’s taken simple food and elevated it into large-format feasts for hipster kings. He’s influenced by old-school ethnic restaurants, but he uses modernist technique to reshape ingredients to his will. He is the pet of national food media and a James Beard Awards conqueror even while he’s talked some mad sh*t about the industry. He’s even a media mogul of his own with his Lucky Peach magazine. Momofuku has turned into a collection of restaurants that all have their own personality. Vegas is a place that celebrates swagger of all kinds, so we hope Chang uses his forthcoming restaurant at the Cosmopolitan to showcase some of his greatest creations. Here are five things we’d love to see at the Vegas Momofuku, slated to open later this year along with sister bakery Milk Bar. Bo ssäm Chang’s rendition of this Korean classic is largeformat bliss and the best pulled pork you’ll eat outside Texas.

Momofuku Ssäm Bar, Chang charges $250 for this crowd-pleasing feast, which comes with a dozen oysters. But Chang, who recently Instagrammed an enormous plate of langoustines at Aria’s Carbone, knows that Vegas is about glorious excess. So why not add caviar as a $500 supplement? This could also work for Chang’s other large-format sensations like the duck ssäm or Momofuku Noodle Bar’s fried chicken. Momofuku Ko José Andrés has his eight-seat é restaurant hidden inside Jaleo, so maybe Chang can create a Momofuku Ko counter somewhere in his Cosmopolitan space. Ko is where Chang and crew serve elaborate tasting menus. Vegas could use a dose of shaved frozen foie gras. Duck lunch The rotisserie duck—with its perfectly crispy skin—

Ramen and buns This is how it all began for Chang at Noodle Bar, which opened in 2004. The Vegas Strip still hasn’t caught up to the worldwide ramen trend. Having Chang’s noodle bowls would help a lot. Clams with lo mein The new Momofuku Nishi, which weaves together Italian and Asian flavors, is the only one of Chang’s New York restaurants we haven’t checked out yet. But the early buzz is remarkably strong. The Clams Grand Lisboa with chow mein, oregano and cabbage could be another Chang classic, a dish for lovers of both linguine vongole and clams with XO sauce. Umami bombs are what Chang does best.

($9) and foie gras with crème brûlée French toast ($17). Create a Change Now and the Reset Project will team up with local chefs Scott Pajak (Lagasse’s Stadium), Marty Lopez (35 Steaks + Martinis) and Johnny Church (Artisanal Foods Cafe) for the Inspire.Challenge.Engage dinner on March 10 at Booker Elementary School, to bring awareness of local health education efforts.
