emphis native Jordan Houston, better known as producer and rapper Juicy J, knows he’s had an unusually huge career. “Rappers don’t really last this long,” he says. “Most careers might be two or three years, and that’s pretty much it. But I’m the Jay Z of the South.”

Most rappers also don’t have an Oscar. Juicy J won one in 2006 as a member of Three 6 Mafia for “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” from Hustle & Flow. That was the pinnacle, but also a turning point.

“We had hits [already], but we were still an underground group, so it was a gift and a curse,” he says. “We were doing so many shows and making so much money ... it kinda f*cked everything up.

My brother Project Pat pulled me out of it, helped me [realize] it never goes away from the music.

When I went solo, I told myself I’d never go back to losing that again.”

J released his debut solo album, Stay Trippy, in 2013 and just this month launched his Rubba Band Business tour, which will bring

him to Brooklyn Bowl Friday night and to Light Nightclub for an after-show gig.

“I’ve actually had a spot in Vegas for a couple years,” he says. “It’s cheaper. You can live like a king.

It’s a party city, but you can chill out if you want, or you can turn up 24 hours a day. You can wake up at 5 a.m. and go to a club. That’s the first step to heaven.”

J, who has already teamed with Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake, says he’d like to collaborate with Eminem, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Adele and Taylor Swift. “Also those greats—Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Diana Ross. I’ve got a song for Diana Ross right now. My manager thinks I’m crazy, but it could be something classic.” Juicy J at Brooklyn Bowl at the Linq Promenade and at Light at Mandalay Bay, January 27. –Brock Radke

dmit it, when you saw this upcoming gig, you did a double take: New Jersey jam band Blues Traveler at Cleopatra’s Barge inside Caesars Palace? Seems like a typo.

It’s not. The group’s “Unhooked” engagement is set for three, twonight midweek sessions in February and March in the lounge that time forgot—until recently the home of crooner Matt Goss.

“We always want to match the style of music with the customer set and the environment,” says Damian Costa, Caesars’ vice president of Las Vegas entertainment operations. “This is out of the norm, but Blues Traveler could be in any room. This is something cool and fun that gives the audience something they’re not expecting. I call it an untouchable moment.”

Considering this is the same company that set up Keith Sweat in the Donny & Marie Showroom at the Flamingo, it’s safe to say Caesars Entertainment is interested in

at

B a r g e a

s i g n

t o

c o m e

trying some different things. “One thing you’ll find with me or any other executive is that we consider absolutely everything,” Costa says.

“We think about the framework of this space, one that’s kind of historic to the Las Vegas environment, and the sensation our customers are able to get there.

My job is how we can use music to inspire our customers and create an environment like no other.”

He describes the Blues Traveler shows as partially inspired by another ’90s phenom, MTV Unplugged. Expect acoustic, intimate performances at Cleopatra’s Barge, and beyond that, expect other innovative entertainment options arriving at this venue and others on the Strip. Blues Traveler: Unhooked at Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars Palace, February 22-23, March 1-2 & 8-9.

s soon as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike were announced as 2017 Wynn Nightlife resident DJs, all big EDMloving eyes looked ahead to the night of Saturday, January 28—their debut at XS. The Greek-Belgian siblings are known to go big, after all, dominating European dance music festivals along with DJ Mag’s annual Top 100 DJ rankings.

So while the brothers made their Wynn Nightlife debut at the resorts’ newest venue, Intrigue, last week, it served as a warm-up for this week-

end’s XS set, the first of many.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are perhaps best known for their raucous performances for many thousands of fans at Tomorrowland—the annual festival held in Boom, Belgium, since 2005, and one of the biggest dance music gatherings in the world. Last year, tickets sold out within an hour even though the lineup had yet to be announced.

Tomorrowland began rolling out its 2017 lineup this week, so expect Dimitri & Mike to be named to the list

soon. For now, they can be found at Brazil’s Rio Music Carnival in February, Mexico’s Dream Forest Festival in March and, of course, here in Las Vegas all year long. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike at XS, January 28.

ould you be surprised to find out that the virtuoso drummer sitting in with rock icon Carlos Santana is slightly obsessed with the mystical, mind-bending film Doctor Strange? Maybe not. But Cindy Blackman Santana has some very tangible reasons for loving this flick so much.

P H O T O G R A P H b y S t u art L i r e tt e

I C

“My favorite thing about the movie is that Doctor Strange is an extremely brilliant doctor and person, incredibly wellstudied with an amazing thirst for knowledge, and he redirects that thirst toward learning and using knowledge from the spirit world to help protect humanity from negative forces,” she says.

“He learns to manipulate time and space and uses it for good.

He finally accepts his new role as a protector even though it meant not putting his own personal needs and desires first.”

Cindy, who launched her musical career as a street performer in New York City in the ’80s, first met Carlos at a European festival while she was touring with Lenny Kravitz. She first joined Carlos

onstage in 2010, and that July he proposed to her during a concert.

They married that December.

Both Santanas resume their ongoing show this month at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, the perfect home for the jazz-bluesrock fusion that drives the band’s sound. And both believe music is a spiritual force, as powerful as the supernatural forces Cindy’s sortahero Doctor Strange deals with.

“He learns that the physical realm is only one aspect of our humanity,” she says. “The message is incredibly inspiring and uplifting.” –Brock Radke

ew can read a Vegas club crowd like DJ Hollywood, who has been spinning in clubs and programming for local radio for decades.

“Everything I play is club explosive,” he says. “I don’t do anything that veers away from what people like. So how do you know what people like? I’ve been doing this for 25 years. Being involved in very high-revenue megaclubs and nightlife venues in Vegas for so many years, I’m able to gauge crowds and program for them in real time.”

Hollywood carries 4,000-5,000 songs in his computer—far fewer than the average DJ, he says—because he has become so comfortable, he knows which tracks he’ll go through during a set.

One of his current go-to songs is a remix of A$AP Ferg’s “The Work,” featuring A$AP Rocky, French Montana, Schoolboy Q and Trinidad James. “You can use it any time, anywhere with any crowd.

Even EDM crowds go crazy for it,” Hollywood says. “It’s the energy

t o

m a k e

e x p l o d e

of the song ... a lot of songs don’t translate—they sound fantastic in your car but don’t translate to the club. This one, the way it’s produced and the low end, it fills the room. Everything about it maintains perfect delivery.”

Hollywood made a perfect delivery of his own in the second half of 2016, charting his own track, “Love Me” featuring vocalist Abri.

It peaked at No. 9 on Billboard’s Dance Club list, and the recently released accompanying video has more than 100,000 views on YouTube. “I couldn’t be happier,” he says of his first big release. “It was overwhelmingly exciting.

I’m overconfident, so of course I believed we were gonna get on the charts, but it was exciting and surreal, like, wow, I’m here.”

onya Sonnenberg was born in Las Vegas to parents who were professional, production-show dancers, so it’s not surprising that she’s been performing in Fantasy at Luxor for almost eight years. But the aerialist actually moved away at a very young age and grew up mostly in the Midwest. “I always wanted to do shows here, growing up hearing my parents talk about it and not having really spent any time here. I wanted to see what Vegas was all about.”

A performer since the age of 9, Sonnenberg moved back to Las Vegas at 18, packing everything into a car and driving from St. Louis with hopes for the best. “I wasn’t really scared; more excited, but it was definitely a challenge. I’ve been very fortunate it’s gone the way it has.”

Now creeping up on a decade in the desert, she couldn’t be happier, both in her work—getting to dance and perform the dramatic aerial routines on the Luxor stage is “like having my cake and eating it, too”—and in her Las Vegas life.

“I’m kind of a foodie. For my job I have to be very careful of what I eat and make sure I stay in shape, but it’s nice to have a night off and forget all that,” she says.

“There are so many amazing options, you can’t just save one for a special occasion. It’s more like once a week.” Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris Las Vegas provides one of her favorite protein fixes.

loves to play pool at neighborhood bar Mickey’s Cues & Brews, and if she has Vegas visitors in town, she’ll lead the way for an outdoor adventure. “I always take visitors to Red Rock, because I like to let people know Las Vegas consists of more than just the Strip,” she says. “The scenery here is so beautiful. You have to do those obligatory things like the fountains and the volcano, but Downtown is so cool now and kind of unexpected, so I like to take people down there to Container Park. You have to see more than just casinos.” –Brock Radke

Sonnenberg also appreciates the low-key entertainment the city provides. She

uma has arrived in Las Vegas. Created and cofounded by chef Rainer Becker and inspired by the Japanese izakaya, Zuma’s first West Coast location officially opens January 28 at the Cosmopolitan, completing the hip resort’s recent dining update, which also includes New York City transplants Beauty & Essex and Momofuku.

“Las Vegas is adrenalinecharged, one of the world’s most unique cities,” Becker said in a statement. “There is a pulse of excitement and anticipation throughout the entire team as we look forward to introducing Zuma to the already-dynamic Las Vegas restaurant scene.”

Designed by Noriyoshi Muramatsu of Tokyo-based Studio Glitt, the 9,000-square-foot space incorporates elements of wood, rusted iron, stone and glass, including a wall composed of natural stone from Thailand. The bar and sushi counter are made of tree trunks, also sourced from Thailand.

d i n i n g

The cuisine comes from three sources: the main kitchen, the sushi counter and the robata grill.

Elegantly presented and boldly flavored shareable dishes include seabass sashimi with yuzu, truffle and salmon roe; baby chicken oven-roasted on cedar with barley miso; Wagyu beef with ginger and caviar; a spicy yellowtail roll with serrano pepper, avocado and wasabi mayo; and grill selections like spicy beef tenderloin with sesame, red chili and sweet soy and sake-glazed chicken wings with sea salt and lime.

If Cosmo’s new restaurants are all about pushing flashy food to new levels, Zuma should fit in just fine.

Zuma at the Cosmopolitan, 702698-2199; daily 5:45-11 p.m.

ometimes the “save the date” is worth it.

One of Las Vegas’ most beloved food and wine events is back this spring for three days of fundraising fun. UNLVino will be held March 30 through April 1, with three events at three dynamic destinations, all to generate money for scholarships and other academic-development needs of UNLV students.

The effervescent kickoff will once again be Bubble-Licious at the Ve-

netian, on March 30, highlighting Champagne and sparkling wine to mix, match and mingle with delicious dishes from Venetian and Palazzo restaurants and chefs. Then, it’s time to head west on March 31 for Sake Fever at Red Rock Resort, where a vast variety of cocktails, sakes and Japanese spirits will offer an alternative tasting experience.

Paris Las Vegas will again be the final destination for UNLVino’s Grand Tasting, on April 1, loaded with food and drink, live entertainment and

service from some of the students themselves.

UNLVino tickets are already on sale at unlvtickets.com. You haven’t officially saved the date until you’ve got yours.

f you follow New York City’s food scene, you’ve surely heard of Christina Tosi and her heralded snack spot Milk Bar. After launching the dessert programs at David Chang’s Momofuku, the MasterChef judge opened Manhattan’s Milk Bar in 2008 to worldwide acclaim, and Tosi recently added Las Vegas to her dessert dominion. The Cosmopolitan recently welcomed its own Momofuku and Milk Bar, expanding its already noteworthy collection of trendy dining destinations. You no longer have to hit the East Coast to taste Tosi’s signature treats—just head to the Strip.

Tosi has built her quirky bakery empire around her famous cereal milk ice cream, a decadent option that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and salty. Once they roll it in Milk Bar’s house-made cornflakes, you can document the chilly goodness on Instagram, where legions of Milk Bar fans proudly display their coveted cups of the frozen cereal milk.

Spicing things up, Milk Bar Vegas offers exclusive 12-ounce, boozeinfused “fancy shakes,” like the cereal milk white Russian, a cold brew shake and a hot peppermint patty— a minty take on hot chocolate.

Other outlandish menu options range from corn cookies to birthday cake truffles to the bestselling crack pie—an addictive pastry made with butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, egg yolks and vanilla.

Whether you’ve just devoured ramen next door at Momofuku or are simply passing by, Milk Bar has just what your sweet tooth craves. Milk Bar at the Cosmopolitan, 702-698-2662; daily 9 a.m.2 a.m. –Leslie Ventura

After a limited engagement in 2015, Beckford returns to the male revue at the Rio starting March 30. ... Do restaurants have birthdays or anniversaries? Whichever it is, Mr Chow at Caesars Palace is celebrating its first year with a special limited-time dish from its very first restaurant menu, from London in 1968: Beijing shredded pork with leeks and lotus-leaf buns, available through February 28. ... Pitbull and the Hard Rock Heals Foundation have launched the Pitbull Signature Series Edition 35 shirt, a piece of merchandise to support the SLAM Foundation to help advance learning opportunities for children around the world. The shirt features Pit’s nickname “Mr. Worldwide” in turquoise and pink in homage to Miami and can be purchased at Hard Rock Cafe, hotel and casino properties around the world. ...
