ynn Nightlife shook up the music scene last week with the announcement of a three-year exclusive residency for Grammy-nominated pop-dance duo The Chainsmokers at XS and Encore Beach Club. But it was only the beginning: The new We Are Wynn Nightlife brand campaign also includes the unveiling of the 2017 resident DJ roster at those two Wynn/Encore venues, plus Surrender and Intrigue nightclubs.

Joining The Chainsmokers as newto-Wynn acts are Cedric Gervais, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Nicky

Romero, Laidback Luke, MAKJ, EDX and Lost Kings. Recent performers now confirmed as full-time Wynn residents are Alison Wonderland, Brillz, Chuckie, Duke Dumont, Getter, Robin Schulz, the Stafford Brothers and Sultan & Shepard.

Add these new artists to an all-star stable of returning DJs and performers—Alesso, A-Trak, David Guetta, Dillon Francis, Diplo, DJ Snake, Flosstradamus, Major Lazer, Marshmello, Ookay, RL Grime, Skrillex, Slander, Virgil Abloh and Yellow Claw—and Wynn Nightlife has once again set the pace on the Strip.

“We are happy that so many incredible artists are returning—many have been with us five, six or seven years—and are excited to welcome the newly-signed residents,” Alex Cordova, Wynn Nightlife executive vice president and managing partner, said in a statement. “With our carefully curated roster, we provide the most stylistically diverse music lineup in town, positioning us as the leader in Las Vegas nightlife entertainment.”

hen Andre’s Bistro & Bar opens on Saturday, January 14, it will mark a new beginning for a chef and company that have played a pivotal role in the Las Vegas restaurant landscape since 1980.

y

c h e f

That was the year chef Andre Rochat opened the original Andre’s in Downtown Las Vegas. While the casual, bistro-meets-tavern feel of the new Andre’s in the southwest Valley (in the space formerly occupied by neighborhood favorite DW Bistro) is something of a sequel to the gamechanging Downtown original and the Monte Carlo follow-up—which closed in October—it’s simply the opening act for Stacked Hospitality. The newly formed company will operate Andre’s and Alizé at the Palms while developing new dining and nightlife concepts and carrying on Rochat’s legacy through managing partners John Wood, Mark Purdy and Joseph Marsco. Rochat meanwhile remains involved as “chef emeritus” for the new company.

Wood, formerly at Wynn Nightlife, joined longtime Rochat operators Marsco and Purdy to set the stage for Stacked. “There’s a great story from Andre’s 35th anniversary [party] where he stood up and toasted everyone and told Joe and Mark the next 35 years was on them,” Wood says. “When they told me that story, it all seemed to click, and I knew we were headed in

the right direction. If you look at the major hospitality players in town, they’ve done a great job of blending those worlds of restaurant and nightlife, and it seemed like we had the opportunity to bring those two together.”

Stacked is already developing a new Downtown dining concept, there’s talk of a steakhouse and Marsco and Purdy have plenty of other restaurant ideas with which they’ve been tinkering over the years. “Our concepts will be varied. Having that foundation of fine dining is a great place to start,” Marsco says. “We all have different backgrounds and interests. Coming from an Italian family, Andre has been telling me for a long time we should do an Italian restaurant.”

Don’t be surprised to see several Stacked venues pop up in the coming years, possibly even something on the Las Vegas Strip. Wood says the company will definitely create a nightlife venue in the future, and with this team, it’s a safe bet it will bring something fresh to the table.

VLTN Events was founded with the objective of providing Las Vegas with more all-ages dance parties, events that dig into different genres and create a local presence for the scene. Three years later, it’s the name running that scene.

“We kind of controlled the rate at which it grew,” CEO Marcel Correa says.

“We felt we could have grown faster but didn’t want to make the jump to events that fill bigger rooms until we were ready.”

Emblematic of that jump is this week’s three-year anniversary party—a two-day event featuring big-name headliners Oliver Heldens, Ghastly and Excision. It takes over the Joint concert hall

A L L

at the Hard Rock Hotel, where RVLTN shows have typically been held inside the smaller Vinyl room.

“This is our first two-day event, and we wanted to put some contrast between genres,” says Joe Borusiewicz, RVLTN’s director of business development. “We have a big following in bass music, but we also have Oliver Heldens for house fans, so we’re trying to appease all of the fan base with one event and create some crossover.”

RVLTN’s steady growth is poised to pop in 2017 with out-of-market events including a monthlong Spring Break bash in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The next big Vegas bash: XO, a Valentine’s Day-themed party February 10 at

Downtown’s World Market Center. “It’s the first event of its kind there, and we’re really excited,” Borusiewicz says.

“We’ve been doing things in these hardticket rooms like the Joint and Brooklyn Bowl, and we love those, but there are certain restrictions there as far as the production and how far we can take the experience. This place gives us complete freedom.” RVLTN Three-year Anniversary at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, January 13 & 14. –Brock Radke

he Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival revealed its 2017 lineup last week, and if you’re a fan of the biggest names in electronic, hip-hop and pop music, you’d better have bought your ticket already.

Headlining this year’s fest is R&B queen Beyoncé—whose 2016 album Lemonade was one of the most listened to and talked about of the year—along with hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar and veteran rock band Radiohead.

Coachella, which launched in 1999, has grown into the most popular

music festival in the United States, so it only makes sense that this year also welcomes the most coveted names in the electronic dance world.

Las Vegas nightlife heavy hitters DJ Snake, Marshmello, Martin Garrix, Dillon Francis and Steve Angello will perform sets during both of the fest’s April weekends, along with DJ Khaled and the electronic dream team of Porter Robinson & Madeon.

Dig deeper and you’ll find Welsh house DJ Sasha, techno icon Richie Hawtin, beatmaker DJ Shadow and left-of-center Further Future festival alums Nicolas Jaar and Four Tet. Also peppered through the lineup are

up-and-comers like Kiiara (the singer behind last year’s hit “Gold”) and chart-topping artists Lorde, Tove Lo and Empire of the Sun. Passes are already sold out, but Vegas’ proximity to Indio typically brings some spillover acts to town. So far, pop band Bastille, German composer Hans Zimmer and breakout singer Kehlani are all confirmed for Las Vegas, and look for more announcements soon. –Leslie Ventura

he Las Vegas Strip’s modern residency era is in full swing.

Case in point: R&B legend Keith Sweat begins an extended engagement in the Donny & Marie Showroom at the Flamingo on January 17, a celebration of the 30th anniversary of his triple-platinum debut album Make It Last Forever.

“It’s classic meets classic,” Sweat says of performing center-Strip at the iconic Flamingo. “I’m going in with nothing but positivity. Everyone goes to Vegas, and this allows people from other parts of the country and world to see me without me going overseas to perform.”

Known for hits “I Want Her,” “Nobody,” “Twisted” and many more, Sweat is looking to make his 15 scheduled shows as intimate and unique as possible. “I’ve been coming to Vegas for a long time, but this is the first time I’m doing my own thing in a smaller room,” he says. “This is the type of situation that lets me get closer to the audience. Usually when I’m onstage I want to hear screams during every song. This is more of a lay-backand-enjoy-yourself situation.”

The 55-year-old Sweat, a New York City native now living in Atlanta, released his 12th studio album, Dress to Impress, last summer. And the

singer isn’t ruling out the possibility of a longer Vegas engagement. “You have a whole lot of people going out to Vegas, and there isn’t this type of show happening out there right now,” he says. “Vegas is the place people can go see whoever, whatever, whenever, and there is an audience [for R&B music] that’s underserved.” Keith Sweat: Last Forever at the Flamingo, January 17-February 4. –Brock Radke

t boggles the mind to think about how many hundreds (or thousands?) of times the 1993 pop-house track “Show Me Love” by Robin S. has been played in nightclubs like LAX. You don’t have to imagine what it might be like to see her perform that influential song in that club, because she’ll be doing just that for this week’s installment of Throwback Thursdays.

You’ve performed in Las Vegas frequently. What do you like about it?

First and foremost the weather—I like heat. But really, I like the freedom. If you know where to go, if you travel further beyond the lights and the action, you will find peace and tranquility.

What do you think it is about “Show Me Love” that has resonated through the years? I didn’t realize how important it was until I had people coming up to me after shows saying it changed their lives. And it wasn’t just the song that did it. Back when it came out, it was all about what you looked like; you had to be a size 5. I’m not a size 5; I’m a full-figured woman. And I sing live— I don’t lip sync. I give all of me every single time I’m onstage, and that is what has carried me. So I think it’s a combination of everything.

How does the audience react to that song today? It warms my heart to see young people in their 20s standing before me waiting to hear it because

they know that song, to see three or four generations of people in one place that know this song. It has had an impact. It relates to every genre, every group of people. It’s about life and respect, and that’s why it takes people there. It’s really simple.

t’s hard to believe it has already been 10 years since iconic East Harlem restaurant Rao’s expanded with a location at Caesars Palace. That’s because the Las Vegas location feels like a magically fresh experience every time you return, yet it also reflects the charm of the original, in business since 1896.

“It’s a unique opportunity to celebrate a decade in the restaurant business here in Las Vegas, and that in itself is a remarkable accomplishment,” said Frank Pellegrino Jr., co-owner of Rao’s in Harlem, Las Vegas and Hollywood.

“I started off as a busboy at Rao’s New

York at the age of 12—never thinking I was going to stay in the family business—and I never left. We are so delighted by the roots we’ve put down in the entertainment capital of the world, and we’re looking forward to continuing our family traditions at Caesars Palace for years to come.”

On January 12, Pellegrino and chef de cuisine Fatimah Madyun will prepare a special anniversary dinner highlighting classic Rao’s dishes including stuffed artichokes, roasted pepper bruschetta, linguine carbonara and, of course, the legendary veal, beef and pork meatballs topped with

marinara. Don’t worry if you miss it; some of those dishes and others from the Rao’s cookbook will be available as specials for the rest of the month, keeping the celebration going strong.

Rao’s at Caesars Palace, 702-731-7778; Sunday-Thursday 5-10 p.m., Friday & Saturday 5-10:30 p.m.

onsidering her Hollywood-by-wayof-Italy lineage, it makes sense that Giada De Laurentiis’ Las Vegas restaurant has a certain amount of cinematic influence. Her grandfather was legendary film producer Dino De Laurentiis, whose many contributions over more than 60 years in show business include Serpico, Three Days of the Condor, Flash Gordon, Conan the Barbarian and Year of the Dragon. Vintage film posters, like the one from Jane Fonda sci-fi cult classic Barbarella, decorate Giada’s welcoming dining space at the Cromwell, and that’s not the only tribute. The signature cocktails on the creative bar menu are also named for some of Dino’s films.

Head for the Destroyer, an aptly named blend of Clase Azul Reposado tequila with

tons of fresh tangerine and a kiss of basil. The sweet, bright citrus transforms the typically fiery spirit into something dangerously smooth, an ideal cocktail to pair with Giada’s lovely brunch menu. But be warned: The Destroyer wields boozy might as strong as Conan’s sword. More than one of these cocktails and those movie posters might come to life.

Giada at the Cromwell, 855-4423271; lounge open daily from 9 a.m. to midnight. –Brock Radke

t’s time to confess. The holiday splurge is over, and new year’s resolutions might have you eating lighter in January. But it’s still winter. It’s still cold out. And you know you’re still dreaming of hearty, decadent food to make sense of it all.

When you’re in the mood for something braised, Sage is the place. Chef Shawn McClain’s finedining favorite adjacent to Aria’s lobby has a reputation as the restaurant where farm-to-table gets an extra dose of flavor, and while the menu always changes with the seasons, the braised beef shortrib is a standard that’s always in style.

It’s surrounded by winter root veggies, a smooth fennel-potato purée

S a g e

and a rich red wine reduction, but the meat remains the star on this plate. Fork tender? How about spoon tender? This is pure guiltinducing pleasure, too delicious to stop eating it. Don’t worry, your personal trainer doesn’t have to know. This secret’s safe at Sage. Sage at Aria, 702-590-9520; Monday-Saturday 5:30-10:30 p.m.

Lionel Richie performed 23 times at the Axis at Planet Hollywood in 2016, launching his All the Hits residency in April and finishing his first Vegas year on December 30. Just before that last show, Live Nation and Caesars Entertainment presented the legendary hitmaker with a plaque commemorating his show’s success, which includes selling more than 85,000 tickets and bringing in more than $10 million in revenue. ... Recent hip-hop headliners Ludacris and Tyga didn’t just stop by Light—they’re both resident artists for 2017 at the Mandalay Bay club. Meanwhile, DJ Mustard shifts from Light to Marquee for the new year and makes his debut at the Cosmo club on January 23. ... Speaking of Cosmopolitan hot spots, sushi haven Blue Ribbon closes on January 15 to make room for the Bromberg brothers’ American bistro concept. ... DJs have been swapping venues in the new year, and concerts can play that game, too—Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John Fogerty will take his Fortunate Son in Concert residency from its recent home at Venetian to Encore Theater for 10 performances this spring.
