illon Francis has been described as the clown prince of dance music. Whether he’s ranting about the DJ Mag Top 100 list, dressing up as a stack of pancakes for Halloween or skewering expectations the way he did with last year’s satirical, nowherenear-safe-for-work video for “Not Butter,” the LA-born DJ and producer could never be accused of taking himself too seriously. Yet he’s left a serious impact through his music.

Francis is one of the pioneers of moombahton, the house/reggaeton

D i e

hybrid exhibited on his Billboard Dance/Electronic chart-topping EP This Mixtape Is Fire, released last year. He has remixed and collaborated with a list of diverse artists that includes Daft Punk, Steve Aoki, Justin Timberlake and Calvin Harris, and his latest track, “Anywhere,” featuring British singer/songwriter Will Heard, finds Francis bouncing into a catchy midtempo beat with massive radio potential.

Francis, who makes his debut at Intrigue this weekend and returns to XS in December, has built a following

as an Internet personality through humor and wild antics, translating into an expanded audience for his music. Not every DJ can pull that off, but almost everyone is trying.

hen Play Management partner John Pettei arrived in Las Vegas 16 years ago, he was a college student who had uprooted his life in Queens, New York, to try something new in Vegas with nothing but “$2,000 in cash, a backpack and a suitcase.”

And tenacious ambition. “I was like, I’m going to make this work,” says Pettei, who graduated from UNLV with a degree in hotel administration while working his way up in the nightlife industry.

“I had a lot of great mentors. I was in the right place at the right time, I worked very hard, and I liked what I did.”

P A R T N E R

In just a few years, Pettei climbed the nightlife ranks, from busser at Light at Bellagio to general manager of numerous Light Group venues. “It went from a job to a lifestyle,” he says. “It was really hard, but I knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Pettei served as GM for Caramel Bar & Lounge, the Bank and Jet before rising to director of opera-

D R E A M S

tions for Light Group, spearheading development for Light and Daylight at Mandalay Bay. “It was Pandora’s box … there was nothing like it,” Pettei says of the iconic club’s reopening in 2012.

Pettei worked for Hakkasan Group after it acquired the Light Group’s venues, and then an unimaginable opportunity arose, for Play—led by Pettei and operating partner Colin Comer—to take control. “Every different job I had, every hat I wore, was grooming me for this,” Pettei says.

After establishing a solid new foundation for Light and Daylight, Pettei looks forward to an even brighter future. “We want to grow, [but] we want to do it gradually; we want to do it well.

It’s about growing our team and giving them the opportunities I had.” –Leslie Ventura

inally, a definitive answer to an age-old question: How many people are required to officially qualify as an entourage? When you’re rolling with your crew to the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay on a Sunday night, the magic number is six.

The intimate 63rd-floor venue launched Entourage Sundays in the spring, an industry-friendly party with an exciting deal for groups at least six partiers strong—$200 bottle service.

“Everyone has their own crew they love to pop bottles with,” says Sasha Rincon, director of marketing for the club and its sister Mandalay Bay

property, House of Blues. “We push this party toward the industry, since so many industry folks are working Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. We want to give everyone the opportunity to hang out and have a good time and maybe even feel like a tourist with their friends, so we’ve created this really fun vibe on a Sunday night. It’s really an extension of the weekend rather than the beginning to the next week.”

Everyone can appreciate a weekend extender. Entourage Sundays bottle service options rotate on a monthly basis and reach beyond the vodka standard. And as anyone familiar with the Foundation Room knows, staking

a table at this club is nothing like the megaclub experience—the party easily becomes as wild or as relaxed as you want it to be, thanks to the variety of exotic spaces.

The party starts at 10 p.m. Sundays and “we don’t really have a closing time,” Rincon says, because there’s nothing wrong with partying until a Monday-morning sunrise.

n the words of ONE Group CEO Jonathan Segal, the newest location of STK is a critical asset, bringing the company’s signature dining experience to a fifth country. “Our first Canadian location has been a long time coming, and we are thrilled to be expanding our North American presence in the vibrant, luxurious Yorkville neighborhood,” Segal said when the Toronto restaurant’s debuted last month.

Surrounded by a blend of designer boutiques, fashionable restaurants,

C L AI M

luxury hotels and world-class galleries in the former Four Seasons building, the first Canadian STK seats 225 across 8,800 square feet highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows—which can convert the dining room into a patio space—and curving white architectural forms. The brick bar accented with rows of tusk-like spikes is particularly striking, one of many elements setting the steakhouse apart from its other locations; STK is a force in cities from LA to New York City, Las Vegas to Miami. There are Toronto-specific dishes on the

menu, too, including tater tot poutine, topped with short ribs and Canadian cheddar cheese curds.

STK isn’t stopping there, of course.

New restaurants are in development in San Diego, Denver, Boston, Dallas, Austin and Puerto Rico, along with the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.

ed Square is the last restaurant standing from the original triumvirate of China Grill Group eateries that once set the standard for Mandalay Bay’s restaurant row. Although the Russian-themed night spot has changed quite a bit over the years, its most recognizable features remain— the beheaded statue of Lenin, the frozen ice bar, the vodka vault. They’re all still there, and they’re all still fun.

Meanwhile, the cuisine has evolved into a model of creative comfort food.

A caviar tasting with traditional condiments and either blini or crisp potatoes is the obvious starting

point—and the perfect match for an icy martini—but other appetizers tempt, too. Siberian nachos cover wonton chips with smoked salmon and wasabi cream for an indulgent bite, and braised shortrib dumplings with horseradish sour cream satisfy beyond the typical starter.

Red Square’s modern takes on staples like stroganoff and chicken kiev are tasty and popular, and since autumn’s arrival means hearty fare is on our minds, the braised lamb shank could be calling your name. Lobster spaghetti alla vodka is another unexpected dish, one that’ll make you glad you strayed from the theme. Finish up

with a Moscow Mule and toffee bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream. The warmth you’ll feel from this memorable meal could last you through the coldest Russian winter.

Red Square at Mandalay Bay, 702-6327407; Sunday-Thursday 4:30-10 p.m., Friday & Saturday 4:30 p.m.-midnight.

t’s time for a serious discussion about special holiday drinks, and that means moving beyond pumpkin-spice whatever. The holiday season should be a time of good taste, so drink accordingly.

If you need a great place to do so, consider Hyde Bellagio. The stylish lounge with beautiful fountain views, which doubles as a booming nightclub, has just unleashed four new cocktails with seasonal spice. We recommend you visit between 5 and 10 p.m. to savor each of these offerings, so you’ll be fully yuled when things start to heat up.

Speaking of warmth, the Hot Toddy will soothe your soul with its Hennessy, honey and lemon combination. The Coco Latte is made with Bacardi Oakheart spiced rum, its notes of brown sugar and vanilla mingling with the cocktail’s espresso, Spanish

citrus spirit Licor 43 and coconut puree. Hyde’s version of eggnog goes the classic route, mixing Makers Mark with festive accents of nutmeg and cinnamon.

And the S’more is the ultimate stocking stuffer of a libation, a flavor overload of Knob Creek Rye, créme de cacao and Godiva chocolate liqueur garnished with a Licor 43 foam and a graham cracker rim. It’s basically a Christmas tree in a glass. Hyde Bellagio, 702-693-8700.

ince opening in the former Jaguars building just west of the Strip in May 2015, Embassy Nightclub has provided a true alternative in the Las Vegas nightlife scene, filling a niche for locals and visitors hungry for Latin music in a big-club environment.

“There are many bars and [small] clubs that do Latin music one night here or there,” says Zaher Fakih, creator of the Embassy concept “[But] until now, there hasn’t been a capital for this entertainment, like Drai’s does hip-hop, where they’re bringing in the artists and people buy tables and bottles and enjoy an exclusive experience.”

With increasingly popular talent filling up the programming calendar, Embassy has become the headquarters for such an experience. Cuban reggaeton star Chacal took over for Halloween Weekend, and the upcoming Latin Grammys-fueled weekend (starting November 17) will bring Puerto Rican rap legend Tego Calderón and hot reggaeton group Gente de Zona. “In their own countries, these people fill up stadiums,” Fakih says.

The 30,000-square-foot club offers multiple spaces and experiences, adding to the diverse offerings that regularly draw capacity crowds, especially for live bands on Friday nights and a

musical mix of American and Latin Top 40 on Saturdays.

After more than a year building success and exposure, it’s only a matter of time before Embassy draws even more attention. “The next target is tourists,” Fakih says. “Hopefully soon we’ll see J. Lo or Pitbull walk through just to hang out and have a good time at Las Vegas’ capital of Latin nightlife.” Embassy Nightclub at 3355 Procyon St., 702-6096666. –Brock Radke

It’s been a huge year for The Chainsmokers. The triple-platinum duo’s new Collage EP recently hit iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon, a five-song set that includes current smash single “Closer” featuring Halsey and brand-new track “Setting Fires” featuring XYLO. Catch The Chainsmokers in Las Vegas next at Omnia on November 26. ... A 100-foot sushi roll’s a pretty big deal, but it was just one of the elements marking the grand opening of Morimoto Las Vegas at MGM Grand on November 3. The long-anticipated restaurant’s arrival also included a lion parade through the resort and the Iron Chef favorite breaking down a 132-pound tuna. ... On the local front, promoters Club 27 will throw an afterhours house-music bash at Artisan on November 12 from midnight to 7 a.m. featuring DJs Douglas Gibbs, Rob Alahn, Doug Wilcox, Tony “Comfort” Jones, Carlos Sanchez and more. ... In town to perform at PBR World Finals Week at T-Mobile Arena, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler made the most of his Vegas visit by checking out Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay, hanging with the cast after the show and picking out the “Billie Jean” sequence as his favorite part of the production.
