wo of the biggest names in country music visit Las Vegas this weekend—Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton— bringing enough party hits and firepower to own the Strip.

D O U B L E

T R O U B L E

Singer, songwriter, star of NBC’s The Voice and Gwen Stefani boyfriend Shelton brings his Doing It to Country Songs tour to MGM Grand Saturday night. The tour follows last year’s release of Shelton’s 10th studio album, If I’m Honest, and the show follows this week’s debut of season 12 of The Voice. The TV gig has only enhanced the seven-time Grammy nominee’s already massive audience.

Bentley, who grew up in Arizona and moved to Nashville at age 19, put himself on the map with “What Was I Thinkin’?” from his eponymous 2003 debut album and hasn’t let up over the past decade, notching 15 No. 1 singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. Last year’s eighth studio album, Black, includes the certified gold smash “Different for Girls” featuring Elle King, the singer with whom he walked the Grammy red carpet this year. Bentley’s Cosmo shows are something of a Vegas warm-up for the veteran performer, who will return to the Strip in April to co-host the annual ACM Awards (with Luke Bryan), taking place for the first time at T-Mobile Arena.

t used to be that a couple times every year, Vegas would go country. The ACM Awards or PBR World Finals would roll into town, and the music would follow. That’s when Dee Jay Silver would take over.

The first and only DJ to be signed to a major Nashville record label, Silver almost moved to Vegas before a label deal and regular touring gig with charttopper Jason Aldean kept him in place.

“Twice a month I still try to talk my wife into moving out there,” he jokes.

But these days, country music is always present in Las Vegas, with the genre’s top stars making the Strip a regular stop and Silver doing the same. As far as the DJ is concerned, country is part of the resurgence of open format.

“It’s funny how it moves in cycles, hiphop to EDM to pop to rock, and it seems country is on the forefront,” he says.

“But country’s not what it was 10 years ago. It’s younger, more friendly, with a more diverse audience. And it’s a betterlooking crowd from all walks of life. It’s not just lonely women and ugly dogs.”

Still, Silver strategizes his sets in a way few DJs do. Who else could drop Dierks Bentley, Tiësto and DJ Snake into the same mix? “My theory is, there are no boundaries. If you don’t like that song, go get a drink, because there’s another one coming in two minutes. I try to leave the crowd saying, ‘Holy sh*t, I can’t believe he played that.’”

Silver returns to his residencies at the Foundation Room and Rehab this

month, playing eight shows leading up to the ACM party on April 2 before hitting the road with Aldean, Kane Brown and Chris Young. He’s also prepping his own new music for upcoming release.

“This is really something different,” he says of his recent work. “The goal was to make every song different, and I’m just in love with it; I can’t turn it off.

We’re just trying to take our game up a notch and give people a different way to listen.” Dee Jay Silver at the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay, March 4.

t’s probably the most celebrity chef-stuffed culinary event in the entire universe, but the best part about Vegas Uncork’d

by Bon Apétit is that it shines the spotlight on a truly unique restaurant landscape: the few dazzling miles that make up the Las Vegas Strip. Those big chef names—this year’s lineup includes Alain Ducasse, Bobby Flay, Buddy Valastro, Giada De Laurentiis, Gordon Ramsay, Guy Savoy, JeanGeorges Vongerichten, José Andrés, Michael Mina, Nobu Matsuhisa, Scott Conant and Wolfgang Puck—are just

role players, really. The Strip is the star, the only place in the world where all these unbelievable meals and restaurant experiences can coexist.

The Grand Tasting at Caesars Palace’s Garden of the Gods pool oasis is always the foundation of Uncork’d, set for April 27-30, but there are plenty of other events you’ll want to check out (with tickets remaining): Thursday’s Master Series Dinner at the Caesars version of iconic eatery Mr Chow; Friday’s Lunch Like a Spaniard with Andrés at the Cosmopolitan’s Jaleo;

Saturday’s ultimate teppan experience dinner with the man himself, Nobu; and the infamous Uncork’d closer, brunch at Rao’s with Frank Pellegrino Jr. and the family. It doesn’t get any more Vegas than that.

he Legendary Roots Crew just announced the lineup for the 10th-annual edition of beloved summertime fest the Roots Picnic, set for June 3 at Philadelphia’s Festival Pier at Penn’s Landing. Joining Questlove, Black Thought and Co. will be an all-star cavalcade of boundary-pushing artists both new and established, including Pharrell Williams, Lil Wayne, Solange, 21 Savage, Kimbra, Pete Rock, Thundercat and Virgil Abloh. Black Thought will team with

J. Period, Fat Joe, Mobb Deep and onetime Roots player Scott Storch for a “live mixtape” freestyle. Other participants include breakthrough British soul singer Michael Kiwanuka, Bronx producer A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, Irish singer/songwriter James Vincent McMorrow and Chicago poet and hip-hop artist Noname.

If you can’t commit to summer in Philly, there are still tickets available to the second day of the Roots Picnic in New York City. The Roots/

D’Angelo/John Mayer-anchored first day has been sold out for a while, but October 2 tickets remain, offering another stellar lineup: the Wu-Tang Clan, David Byrne and Nile Rodgers backed by The Roots; plus Swizz Beatz, Deerhoof, EPMD, Lil Uzi Vert, DJ Jazzy Jeff and many more.

orn in Canada, Living in London, Made in Italy.” Perhaps the slogan explaining the stylish rise of Toronto brothers Dean and Dan Caten and their Dsquared2 dynasty can now be expanded to include Las Vegas.

On February 11, the refined-yetplayful brand opened its first Vegas store on the Strip at the ultra-lux Shops at Crystals.

The brothers left Canada for New York City to attend Parsons School of Design in 1984, then relocated to Italy and began building their brand. The first Dsquared2 men’s collection arrived in 1995, known for its blend of sport and luxury.

Celebrities soon connected, like Lenny Kravitz, Justin Timberlake and Ricky Martin—the new resident performer at nearby Park Theater (he’s expected at the Crystals store for a grandopening event in early April).

Madonna also famously commissioned the Catens to design outfits for her “Don’t Tell Me” video and Drowned World Tour in 2001.

Dsquared2 has been an equally powerful sports sensation, creating uniforms and branding for soccer clubs; it partnered with Manchester City FC of the English Premier League last fall on an official club suit. But as evidenced by the Vegas store selection, denim and classic sportswear with subtle touches of Italian flair and sophistication remain at the core. Whether its sharp suiting or a sexy leather jacket, Dsquared2 finds the edge between casual and cool, masculine and feminine, laid-back and extravagant. Dsquared2 at the Shops at Crystals, 702-790-2448; Sunday-Thursday 10 a.m.-11 p.m., Friday & Saturday 10 a.m.midnight. –Brock Radke

verybody knows Benihana. In Las Vegas, a new outlet of the familiar teppanyaki franchise has opened smack on the Strip at the Fashion Show mall, but the more established version of Benihana Vegas is at the Westgate.

Hidden within the whimsical village surrounding that dining destination is quiet gem Silk Road Asian Bistro, where diverse and beloved noodle dishes—Japanese ramen, Chinese rice noodles and Vietnamese pho—are the signature dishes. This Asian bistro does it all well without muddling flavors through fusion, as evidenced by appetizer options of crispy vegetable spring rolls or soft, rice paper-wrapped shrimp and pork summer rolls, stuffed with fresh herbs and aromatics. There are four flavors each of ramen and pho, and if thin rice noodles aren’t your favorite match for Szechuan beef or roasted duck, you can sub more

substantial ho fun or wonton-style egg noodles into those flavorful Chinese dishes.

Other entrée options include honey and miso-glazed sea bass, a fried-wings spin on classic General Tso’s chicken and Mongolian beef served with rich, well-marbled Wagyu. At Silk Road, what seems like a casino noodle bar offers so much more. Silk Road at Westgate Las Vegas, 702-732-5111; daily 5-10 p.m.

harlie Palmer’s Aureole at Mandalay Bay has always been one of the greatest places for wine in Las Vegas, famous for its breathtaking, four-story wine tower in the center of the dining room. Although the restaurant has recently undergone some refreshing changes, the tower and the wine remain. As if to fortify the destination’s reputation, Wine Spectator brings a celebration to Aureole this weekend.

More than 40 of the wine bible’s top 100 bottles of 2016 will be served and sipped on Friday night, March 3­—an experience guided by Palmer

himself, Mandalay Bay Director of Wine Harley Carbery and a number of the winemakers. The wines’ rankings have been determined by the publication’s editors, who aim to find the most exciting and diverse bottles, from emerging vineyards and regions to traditional estates exploring new directions. Among the top picks that will be featured at Aureole: Domaine Serene Chardonnay Dundee Hills Evenstad Reserve, 2014; Orin Swift Machete California, 2014; and Ridge Monte Bello Santa Cruz Mountains, 2012.

The event should be a stellar opportunity to re-engage with this

Strip dining icon, its inviting new décor and an updated menu that encourages sharing and social interaction. New dishes will be served as passed hors d’oeuvres, including lion fish ceviche tacos and whole roasted sturgeon Wellington. If you haven’t revisited Aureole, the time has come. Wine Spectator Tasting at Aureole at Mandalay Bay, March 3.

When you’re trying to live a healthier lifestyle, microwaveable meals just don’t make the cut … unless they’re prepared by a trained chef inside a local kitchen.

Created by former NFL athlete Gerome Sapp, Health Binge is a grab-and-go prepared-food service offering pre-packaged, portion-controlled and nutrientrich entrées and snacks that make healthy living easy. With access to breakfast, lunch and dinner choices like lemon and vanilla blackberry pancakes, ancho chili bison enchiladas and blackened shrimp and grits, anyone with a busy lifestyle can get proper nutrition without sacrificing time or taste.

Sapp initially developed the concept for his teammates as the football captain at Notre Dame, but it wasn’t until he graduated from Harvard Business School that he streamlined the idea.

Having just announced a new partnership with EOS Fitness, Health Binge is set to operate from 14 locations across Nevada and Arizona this month.

“I took a very methodical approach to it,” Sapp says. “The model is perfect for the gym.” The flagship location, located near Jones and the 215, opened in December and has already garnered a loyal fanbase. There’s even a weekly program called the “Binge 7” that includes free delivery, and curious patrons are also encouraged to visit Health Binge every Saturday to talk to the in-house nutritionist, free of charge.

“It should start with your goals,” Sapp says. “Eating healthy and changing the way [people] approach life in terms of nutrition and wellness—that’s what our meals help with.” Health Binge, 6040 W. Badura Ave. #140, 702629-6111; daily 7 a.m.-8 p.m.
