o exactly how did Bronx hip-hop phenomenon Swizz Beatz end up joining the roster of talented performers at the new Jewel Nightclub? Here’s how the story goes: A while back, DJ Ruckus was rocking Hakkasan at MGM Grand when some of the celebs in attendance got involved. Bombshell Kate Upton jumped up and got her crew dancing, and Swizz, a friend of Ruckus, climbed into the booth. What could have been a quick shout-out turned into a 45-minute impromptu performance. As Hakkasan Group developed Jewel, its programming team decided not only to diversify its sound with a mix of musical genres, but also to focus on artists and hosts who know how to build a party and serve up a memorable experience every night. Swizz had already done just that, spur of the moment. Just imagine what the producer who has crafted hits for DMX,
t o
t h e
J e w e l
Jay Z, T.I., Madonna and Beyoncé—and of course Alicia Keys, his wife since 2010—will do with his own set at Jewel on June 3, and again on July 8. Interspersed with his pursuits as an artist and collector, designer and philanthropist, he’s always popping up with fresh music, from his appearance on Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo to his own hypnotic new teaser tracks “Waitin’ on Me” and “Represent Tonight.” There’s no telling what kind of party he’ll compose Friday night. Swizz Beatz at Jewel at Aria, June 3. –Brock Radke

ven before Wynn debuted Intrigue, its latest spin on Las Vegas nightlife, there was much buzz about its secretive club-within-the-club, a private enclave lined with white liquor lockers made from stitched leather trunks and a DJ booth stacked with more than 1,000 vintage vinyl records. The chic space—social-media free—captivated partiers’ imaginations before anyone even got a glimpse of it. Now that our initial exploration of the
club is complete—its celebrity-packed opening was April 28—it’s become clear that the hidden room is just one of several Intrigue spaces that have their own intimate, luxurious vibe. We can’t seem to stay away from the new bar carved into the mountainside adjacent to the 94-foot waterfall, a refreshing spot along the 1,183-squarefoot patio dressed in white decking and extravagant lighting. Here, you can catch the pyro show, dance or just relax near the cascading waterfall. Combine the bar’s advanced mixology
offerings—not something you find in many nightclubs on the Strip—with the fact that no one does versatile, enchanting indoor-outdoor design like the Wynn team, and it’s easy to understand why this space has quickly become a favorite. Intrigue at Wynn, Thursday-Saturday 10:30 p.m.-4 a.m., 702-770-7300. –Brock Radke

runch on the Las Vegas Strip has evolved into something of a party. Restaurants bring in DJs. Mimosas and Bloody Marys are served from roving carts or in all-you-can-drink formats. The food is fantastic, but the focus has drifted to the all-around experience. Not the case at Bardot Brasserie. You can still party, still catch the Champagne cart, still drink your Bloody—a fantastic, fresh version—or even opt for bottomless rosé, a refreshing
touch. But the focus is always on food at Bardot, and the brunch results are astounding. Beginning with la boulangerie—an assortment of the finest breads, croissants and danishes—is a must, then you’ll segue into a classic croque madame topped with Gruyère fondue, or perhaps the hearty hunter’s waffle with glazed duck confit, poached eggs and sauce maltaise. Bardot’s version of French toast uses a mountain of fluffy brioche with vanilla mascar-

“The object is to create something healthy that is also naughty,” says co-founder Marcella Williams, who set out to produce twists on classic cocktails that alleviate next-day hangovers. “If you’re going to be bad, be good at it.” Photograph by Anthony Mair
King/Queen for a Day is a take on a whiskey-ginger, kicked up a few notches with fresh-pressed ginger in the Bee Royal blend, made with lemon and apple. The pressed produce melds beautifully with apple brandy and ginger beer. Looking for something sweet? Enter the Happy Russian, a variation on the standard White Rus-

an cocktails be healthy? That probably depends whom you ask—and what you’re drinking. But if you’re searching for a drink with some benefits on the side, look no further than the Juice Standard at the Cosmopolitan, which recently began offering a menu of “cold-pressed cocktails” crafted with its line of raw, organic juices. Detoxing while retoxing has never been so delicious.

sian. The Bee Happy nut milk, made with alkaline and coconut waters, cashews, Brazil nuts, walnuts, local honey, cacao, vanilla bean and pink Himalayan salt, is the perfect mixer for the Dude’s favorite sipper. Bloody Marys have long been a go-to hangover cure, so it’s no surprise a spin made this menu. Subbing gin for vodka and the juicery’s Bee Resilient green juice (made with romaine, spinach, cucumber, parsley, kale, microgreens, ginger and lemon) for tomato, The Heart & The Fist is a mellower take on the Mary. But if you want a kick, just ask your juicing mixologist. “I do it spicy, says” Williams. “I’ve been told before I’m a Thai 10.” The Juice Standard at the Cosmopolitan, 702-698-7000, daily 7 a.m.11 p.m. –Mark Adams
