rammy-winning DJ Cedric Gervais closed out 2016 by releasing “Would I Lie to You,” a throbbing house collaboration with Chris Willis and David Guetta that brings new energy to a semi-forgotten 1992 pop-soul hit by duo Charles and Eddie. Gervais opened 2017 by following in the footsteps of Guetta, a fellow Frenchman, by launching a new residency at Wynn Nightlife, with a performance at Intrigue on January 26. His upbeat electronic leanings are a fantastic match for the refined environment, where he’ll return for a Saturday night set. Gervais, who just locked in a slot at Tomorrowland in Belgium in July and will also return to his Marquee residency at the pool
this summer, continues to create and curate new dance music through Delecta, his label partnership with Dutch institution Armada Music. As anyone who has caught one of his Las Vegas sets knows, the sounds don’t stop with this DJ. Cedric Gervais at Intrigue at Wynn, February 11 & March 3.

nsomniac constantly grows and changes, staying on the edge of music and culture. After a year that included the first EDC in India, Insomniac is growing again with EDC Japan in Tokyo in April and the first-ever Middlelands festival in May at the Texas Renaissance Festival Fair Grounds. Industry Weekly recently caught up with the man at the center, Pasquale Rotella, at his Las Vegas home to discuss what’s to come in 2017. You’re partnering with [Lollapalooza promoter] C3 to create Middlelands. How did that happen? It really came out of a friendship with C3, great guys, lots of synergy. When we walked through the site, I said, ‘We have to put something together for this—it’s too great of a venue.’ They host the largest renaissance fair in America at this location. I’m still the same person I was 20 years ago when finding a place, like a kid in a candy store, so to walk around and already have scenic villages and props set up, it was a dream find. It came together organically, and we’re really excited to dabble in something different.

Middlelands has a more diverse musical lineup. Yes, there are more live acts and definitely hip-hop. But we’ve always dabbled. People don’t realize, but EDC had a full hip-hop stage back in the day. We had Common headline, and Insomniac did OutKast on another festival. We’re always open. We keep exploring other genres, but even when we do something outside dance music, we always come back to it. I
love other genres just as much, but in the community of dance music I feel at home. The gatherings are a lot different than others. EDC continues to thrive in Las Vegas where other music festivals sometimes struggle. I eventually plan on bringing a new festival to Vegas. I don’t have anything set right now, but I believe the support is there, and it would be exciting for people to come again, not just once a year. What are you excited about for this year’s fest in June? There are a handful of acts that have never played EDC before, so I’m stoked on that. We’re adding a new stage for our Dreamstate [trance music] event. The concept behind the Kinetic Field—we’re calling it the Gaia Stage, like Mother Earth— is going to be exciting and new. And just like we’re enhancing and having different concepts behind the stage areas, we’re now creating different roads or streets, like Electric Avenue last year. We get bored if we’re not taking things to another level, and we really build the event to be wowed and have a good time, because we’re passionate about it. It’s not always about spending more money and making it bigger; it’s about making it different and new. –Brock Radke

hese are turbulent times. No matter who or where you are, protest is in the air.
“My life is going good, but I look around and the world is kinda going to sh*t,” Protoje says. “Reggae music always comes up at times when there is social unrest. It’s almost like a tool. And I’m definitely incorporating what I see, all of that, into the music.” The Jamaican-born reggae singer (and son of singer Lorna Bennett) is one of the genre’s brightest new stars, currently touring with Iration and loaded with material from breakthrough albums Ancient Future (2015) and Royalty Free (2016). But Protoje is constantly creating new material and just dropped “Blood Money” this month, which confronts corruption and repression in his native land. “At the end of the day, it’s rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. The divide is getting bigger, and it’s happening on a global scale,”
he says. “The same problems happening here are in Jamaica, just to a different degree.” Protoje has been breaking away from the current tour to play some headlining shows along the way, expanding his audience each time he visits someplace new. “When we’re opening, we have 45 minutes in which to convince people, ‘Hey, we should check them out,’” he says. “I’m always looking to new boundaries and ways to turn the music further, and I love that responsibility, to make sure I play a part in advancing the culture.” Protoje (with Iration, The Green and Zach Deputy) at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, February 10. –Brock Radke

here’s no perfect way to describe what it feels like to be in the presence of a legend. When Willie Nelson took the stage at the Venetian Theatre on February 1, every frenetic strum of his guitar, every quiver in his time-worn voice and every call-out to his adoring audience carried the weight of his 60some years as an outlaw-country icon.
cut a striking figure in the plush venue where Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular was staged more than 2,600 times. The resulting contrast intensified the intimacy of the concert, and Nelson made up for canceling previously scheduled shows here by rambling through “Whiskey River,” “Beer for My Horses,” “On the Road Again,” “Always on My Mind,” and more of his hits.
Backed by the Texas flag and a fivepiece band—until his youngest daughter, Amy, joined him to sing a few songs later in the show—Nelson’s rootsy style
He gave the spotlight to Mickey Raphael (harmonica) and sister Bobbie Nelson (piano) at times, played favorites by Merle Haggard and Hank Wil-
liams and dipped into forthcoming album God’s Problem Child with new track “Still Not Dead Again Today”; its opening lines—“I woke up still not dead again today/The Internet said I had passed away”—earned an excited roar from the crowd, which couldn’t get enough Willie. –Brock Radke

There’s something about Feature that separates it from the droves of luxury streetwear boutiques on the West Coast. Maybe it’s that the brand doesn’t solely identify itself with streetwear. Whatever you call it—a luxury boutique, a lifestyle brand, a designer sneaker store—Feature is blazing its own trail in the fashion world. Ajay Bouri and EJ Luera opened Feature in Chinatown in 2010—along with partners DJ Ikon and Keith Iavazzi—and since then the store has gone from carrying basics to stocking high-end cult favorites like Japanese brands Visvim and Comme de Garçons Play, and Off-White, the rebellious Milan-based fashion brand from Kanye West’s creative director, Virgil Abloh. Despite the luxury labels, Feature isn’t about keeping people out, but welcoming them in. “So many people [come] in and out of Vegas—celebrities and higher-end clientele. We’re trying to keep the culture in Vegas and get away from that exclusiontype mentality, which Vegas is known for,” Luera says. At Feature, “you’re not going to find a snobby boutique; you’re not going to get people who won’t help you.”
Perhaps that’s because just seven years ago, Feature was literally a mom-and-pop shop. “My wife was in here with my newborn, ringing people up and shipping [product],” Luera says. Today, the boutique has gone through more than five remodels and one expansion. In 2014, the guys added their iconic “shoe tunnel” display, currently loaded with Adidas’ Raf Simons and Rick Owens collabs along with Vans, New Balance, Asics and more. Another edition, the two-story back room, includes hard-to-find brands like Mr. Completely and Human Made. Feature will really turn up the dial for this month’s MAGIC trade show, pairing up with photo collective Team Cozy for a Downtown walk on February 19 and co-sponsoring a Hyde Bellagio party with Georgia rapper MadeinTYO two days later. Feature at 3735 W. Spring Mountain Road #205, 702-463-3322. Feature & Represent present MadeinTYO at Hyde Bellagio, February 21. –Leslie Ventura

wo New York City-based entertainment giants have joined forces. Last week, the Madison Square Garden Company and Tao Group announced that MSG has acquired a 62.5 percent interest in Tao for $181 million. Through the new partnership, the Tao team maintains day-to-day operations of its 19 venues in New York City, Las Vegas and Australia—Tao, Marquee, Lavo, Avenue, The Stanton Social, Beauty & Essex and Vandal—while continuing to ready new sites in New York, LA, Chicago and Singapore. And MSG expands its growth profile, consolidating a company that includes four of the country’s 11 highest-grossing restaurants.
“Tao is creating the most innovative premium experiences in the entertainment dining and hospitality industry—no one does it better,” MSG Executive Chairman James Dolan said in the announcement. “We now have a tremendous opportunity to utilize that expertise across our live offerings, while leveraging each other’s strengths to drive value and growth for both businesses.” MSG and Tao Group will work together to create new and innovative hospitality experiences that can be integrated across MSG’s portfolio, which not only includes venues and music and film festivals, but is expected to grow with last year’s announced plans to build an
arena in Las Vegas.
“Over the last 16 years, we’ve seen tremendous growth as we’ve successfully created some of the most enduring brands in the hospitality industry,” Tao Group co-founder Rich Wolf said in the announcement. “Our partnership with MSG enables us to continue down this path. We are thrilled to be joining the MSG family, and look forward to working with them on creating truly unique and exceptional experiences.”

mbassy Nightclub just west of the Las Vegas Strip already has a reputation for offering something different, a true nightlife alternative soundtracked by sounds from around the globe. And this weekend, Embassy imports one of Latin music’s fastest rising stars, who also offers something different. Karol G’s Friday gig isn’t just her first performance in Las Vegas; it’s her first time ever in Sin City. “I’m very excited. I’m bringing my mother and members of my family who know Las Vegas so we are definitely going to [party],” says the 25-year-old artist born Carolina Giraldo Navarro in Medellin, Colombia. She’s bringing plenty of momentum with her, riding high from recent single “Hello” (which also features Ozuna) and its 50 million-plus views on YouTube. She also grabbed a spot as a team captain on Univision’s Pequeños Gigantes USA reality-talent competition, now filming in Miami. There aren’t many women in the world of reggaeton music, but Karol is hoping to change that with her blend of pop and hip-hop sensibilities. “In the beginning it was very frustrating, being told girls don’t sing this kind of music, and,
‘Maybe you can try with pop or songs that are more romantic,’” she says. “It’s been a lot of hard work. But for me, reggaeton is what is happening now. I want to create a different fusion of that music, show that you can have a little pop and a little hip-hop, and still [write] songs that all the people can sing. In my songs there are no bad words, so kids can sing them, and girls can identify with singing with them, too, because it’s not like a man singing reggaeton.” She plans to continue to inspire with upcoming album Girl Power, which could be ready this spring. After wrapping Pequeños Gigantes USA she’ll return to the road in the States for 14 shows before her first trek to Europe. Don’t be surprised to see other TV or acting opportunities come her way, too. “As an artist, I really just want to do everything,” she says. Karol G at Embassy, February 10. –Brock Radke

ooking for quiet sophistication in a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner destination? Your search ends with Sinatra. Whether the weather accommodates a table in the peaceful garden patio or you stay inside the regal dining room that serves as a tribute to the Chairman, Sinatra’s surroundings and stellar service provide the charm to create a memorable meal. The cuisine is maintained by veteran chef Theo Schoenegger, who cooked for Sinatra himself at New York City’s San Domenico. Frank would prob-
ably order the tomato-garlic clams over spaghetti, but we recommend the Pesce San Pietro as your go-to seafood-pasta combo—delicately sautéed John Dory with asparagus and lemon-caper butter sauce with squid ink gnochetti. It’s a dish as colorful as it is flavorful. The bigeye tuna carpaccio is the favorite appetizer on this menu, and the roasted branzino with salsa verde is another seafood signature. But those who want to stick to the land—or more traditional Italian-American classics—will find what they’re looking
for, too, particularly with the veal parmigiana, a tender bite that melts in your mouth like mozzarella under the broiler. The only goal at Sinatra is to make you feel special, on any occasion. Sinatra at Encore, 702-770-5320; daily 5:30-10 p.m.

veryone loves bacon—it’s undeniably delicious. But no one in Las Vegas serves it quite the way celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse does at his classic Delmonico Steakhouse. First, you can find tasty morsels of swine in the wilted spinach and iceberg wedge salads, but those are typical chophouse fare. It’s also the ingredient that makes all the difference in the white cheddar cheese grits, a must-order side dish to go with your juicy steak. But the game-changer is the apple-cured Kurobuta bone-in bacon, an appetizer you might as well
eat as a meal—because if you finish it, you’ll be beyond satisfied. Served with a bit of acidic pickled watermelon rind to help cut through the richness, this dish is a sort of hybrid between the most luscious slab of pork belly you’ve ever tasted and a barbecued rib. The sweet Abita root beer glaze helps lend that barbecue feel, especially if you attack the bone for those last few tender bites. The Delmonico crew has achieved new levels of smoky, sweet, meaty bliss with this dish, a favorite appetizer since getting added to the menu a
few years ago. It might change the way you think about bacon, and it’ll definitely make you love it even more. Delmonico Steakhouse at Venetian, 702-414-3737; Sunday-Thursday 5-10 p.m., Friday & Saturday 5-10:30 p.m. –Brock Radke

“I
got into this such a long time ago,” Eddie McDonald says. Little did he know DJing reggae parties in New Jersey would eventually lead him to something far bigger. McDonald took his skills to New York City, met Light Group founder Andrew Sasson and, in 2002, relocated to Las Vegas, where he opened up Light at Bellagio and Sasson’s other properties, Jet, the Bank and Caramel. He also created the Light Group’s corporate program director position, a gig integral to his growth as a DJ and as a businessman. Fifteen years later, McDonald is spearheading his own concept, Music Artist Connection. He describes MAC as a full-service entertainment entity that will focus on what he knows best, like DJ bookings, event planning and sound-system design
p r o j e c t
and installation. “[It’s] pretty much everything I was doing for Light Group, but all on my own,” he says. “You name it, we’ll do it.” McDonald has teamed up with Play Management for this week’s MAC launch party at Light—now at Mandalay Bay, of course—featuring DJ Skribble (currently featured on TLC’s Project Dad), New Yorker Lodato and Vegas’ G-Squared and Adam DJ. With his humble beginnings decades behind him, McDonald has some advice as he gears up for his agency’s big debut. “Take chances,” he says, and eventually, everything will come full circle. “Reggae never had a [following] out here, and now, 99 percent of the stuff you hear has this old-school, dancehall flavor.”
That stick-to-your-guns commitment continues to drive McDonald’s efforts. “What I’m most excited for is giving my guys work and really working for them now, using all the connections I’ve built to help out some of the younger guys. I’m trying to bring a different approach to it. I’m learning as I go.” Music Artist Connection Launch Party at Light at Mandalay Bay, February 15. –Leslie Ventura
