runo Mars rolls into his Park Theater residency on the Las Vegas Strip this weekend fresh off the iHeartRadio Awards, where he somewhat reluctantly took home the Innovator Award. “It’s a little ironic for me, because I genuinely feel like I’m just getting started,” he said, before closing the show with recent hits “Treasure” and “That’s What I Like”—and then breaking into an all-out groove session with Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, Ty Dolla $ign and more. Mars is turning into the man when it comes to big-party awards show performances; his fans are still clamoring about February’s Grammy Awards, when he donned purple sequins and played a white Schecter Cloud guitar in tribute to Prince. Some were shocked to learn Bruno can shred—and others might wish he’d never attempted to play the iconic guitar solo from “Let’s Go Crazy”— but the performance left a lasting impression either way. Mars is

a phenomenal talent, a singer and songwriter who effortlessly crosses genres, a well-rounded entertainer coming into his own as a showman and bandleader. You can observe that development in Las Vegas on a regular basis as Mars gears up for his 24k Magic World Tour, which begins at the end of the month in Belgium. After this weekend’s shows, he won’t be back in the States until July 15, when he strolls a few steps from his Vegas home to play T-Mobile Arena.

e couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to open Encore Beach Club. Friday, March 3, was sunny with temps in the low 70s and a little breeze, a mild canvas for us to paint the perfect party weeks before spring officially arrives. Why wait? The venue was fresh and inviting as ever, the crowd celebrated as if everyone couldn’t wait to don swimwear and DJ A-Trak kept bodies moving and heads nodding all afternoon. There are a few subtle but substantial changes for the new season at EBC.
The small, front-bar window you hit on your way into the dayclub has been expanded to two service spots, adding an extra splash of convenience. A new VIP ticket option will allow upgrading clubbers to use the “artist only” entrance through Surrender, offering some behind-the-scenes perspective. And new LED screens fronting the DJ booth are on the way, to enhance the overall experience and allow staff to transition between day and night parties with ease. There are new items on the menu, too, both for snacking (seared tuna sliders and bacon, egg and cheese eggrolls
will become fast favorites) and partying. The sizzling new Champagne Shower package is called Comin’ in Hot, and has the lovely ladies of EBC hosing you down from a custom fire truck to go along with your Nebuchadnezzar 15-liter of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label. This could be the most Instagrammed moment of the pool party season this year, so get your (hopefully water-resistant) phonecam ready. –Brock Radke

as Vegas doesn’t wait to throw a party. We want summer right now, so we throw open the doors to the world’s greatest pool parties. It’s not even close to spring, but we’re ready to do Spring Break immediately. Fortunately, the DJ who might just be the queen of Spring Break parties is on her way to Las Vegas— straight from Cancun—as you read these words. She’s been Spring Breaking for a week already down there. Australian sensation Brooke Evers is back in Sin City for the Spring Break Strip Down, a monthlong party at Crazy Horse III. The club hosted one of her very first gigs in the U.S. a few years ago, so she knows what to expect ... sort of. “You never know until you get there. It could be rowdy or it could be chill,” she says. “Vegas is Vegas, so everyone knows it’s going to be crazy, but it just depends on the night.” The Friday late-night gig marks the beginning of a quick U.S. tour

for Evers, who’ll head to Miami for the three-day Inception at Sea party cruise—known as the world’s only Spring Break floating music festival—before returning to land to play in Arizona, Texas and California. Somewhere in there, she’ll make her debut at the annual Ultra Music Festival. Evers sounds happy to be on the road again. “I’ve been in the studio all week working on some new original stuff, but I’ve been traveling every week, too,” she says. “Right now I’m remixing a really big track that everybody knows, and hopefully I’ll bring it back and it’ll be a hit all over again.” Brooke Evers at Crazy Horse III, March 10. –Brock Radke

ring a bucket, because it’s likely your face will melt off when the World of Drum & Bass hits Las Vegas. In honor of its 10th anniversary, local bass crew Konkrete Jungle will pull out all the stops for a Sunday-night extravaganza at Downtown’s Thunderbird Lounge. “We started Konkrete Jungle 10 years ago,” says the man known simply as Tasha. “Drum ’n’ bass-wise, we haven’t had a lot of different crews around, so we try to hold it down by bringing DJs that no one else has.” The intense night of music will feature two areas: the World of Drum
& Bass and the Lockdown outdoor lounge. “The World of Drum & Bass has been around 19 years. It’s led by DJ SS over in the U.K.,” Tasha says. “So we’re going to have three U.K. DJs with one special guest.” Alongside DJ SS, other headliners include The Prototypes, Brookes Brothers and Bladerunner, with support from Selekta Steel, Rob Riddum, Razor Savvy and Thugxurious. “In the Lockdown area, we have some local support from Jayrod, who’s been spinning here for probably 10 years,” says Konkrete Jungle’s FX Logik. “We also have Tommy B, [from] the speed
garage scene.” Logik and Filth will spinning a fidget house set, too. Get there early and prepare to stay late—as long as there’s an audience, the party will rage on. “We have a lot of people coming from out of town— Utah, California and Arizona—so I think they’re going to be looking to stay late and party,” FX Logik says. World of Drum & Bass at the Thunderbird Lounge, March 12. –Deanna Rilling

Everything to everyone isn’t usually much of a business strategy, but it feels natural enough at Coogee Pavilion. The triple-decker venue overlooking Sydney, Australia’s Coogee Beach multitasks as a date-night destination, casual café, family-friendly hang and hip-kid hot spot. First opened as the Coogee Aquarium in 1887 (soon after the last British convict ship docked on Oz’s shores), the space housed the Beach Palace Hotel for decades before Australian hospitality giant Merivale transformed the grand, domed building steps from the
sand into a thoroughly modern multihyphenate in 2014. Downstairs, it’s set up like a food market with different stalls serving blistered pizzas, oysters on the half shell, single-origin coffee, cold-pressed juices and gelato. A full restaurant menu veers from mini lobster rolls to lamb tomahawk chops, and a game area offers oversized Scrabble and ping-pong. Arriving sans offspring? Head upstairs to Coogee Rooftop, a Vegas dayclub’s chill Sydney cousin. The decor is “eccentric botanist,” heavy on vegetation with whimsical winks like an on-site greenhouse that hosts liquor pop-ups
and private parties. There’s also a patio with ocean views, live music and a daydrinking crowd in its beach chic best. This is a laid-back, loungey scene, where the pro move isn’t a bottle of Goose and some room-temperature cran, but a Pimms’ Cup pitcher or a carafe of wine. You might never want to move, but someone’s gotta buy the next round. Merivale.com.au/coogee pavilion. –Sarah Feldberg

orbes Travel Guide recently unveiled its 2017 Star Rating list, and with three new Five Star restaurants—Le Cirque, Picasso and Wing Lei—a total of six Las Vegas restaurants have been honored this year, trailing New York City by only one. For those familiar with the dining options at Wynn and Encore, Wing Lei’s new distinction—it’s the only Forbes Five Star Chinese restaurant in North America—only proves what we already knew, that this is a very special place. Starting with its dragon gate entry, the jewel box of a restaurant sparkles in gold and white with sparks of jade
green, and its private dining rooms are designed to feel like your friends and family are feasting inside a Ming vase. The cuisine, a collection of Cantonese, Shanghai and Sichuan dishes masterfully crafted by chef Xian Ming Yu, defies categorization. One example is the signature Alaskan king crab salad, a voluptuous stack of mango, avocado and sweet seafood dressed simply in miso and yuzu. From there, adventure into Velvet Egg Wonton or seafood hot and sour soups, exotic live seafood offerings like Cambodian Goby or Alaskan geoduck clams and familiar Chinese dishes executed with beautiful precision, including Peking duck and
Yang Chow fried rice. Napa cabbage with Ibérico ham in a clean, savory broth is another impressive statement of this kitchen’s skill and talent. In Las Vegas, tourism has created demand for a Chinese cuisine experience that goes beyond fine dining, and there are several great restaurants like that here. But there is only one Wing Lei.

ou probably remember the first time you tried a Guinness. It was rich and creamy and unlike anything you’d ever tasted. If you’re from Ireland, you already know Arthur Guinness is an unofficial patron saint for concocting this faithful brew, and chances are his Irish dry stout is just about all you drink. That’s not a stereotype. That’s actually what our Guinness bartender, Amy from Dublin, told us. She also taught us to pour an impeccable pint, something you, too, can learn, with the Perfect Pint Experience at the Guinness Store
inside the Shoppes at Mandalay Bay. Belly up to the bar for the origin story of Guinness, created more than 200 years ago at St. James’s Gate Brewery, where Mr. Guinness himself signed a 9,000 (yes, 9,000)-year lease on the property. From there, learn the six steps crucial to pouring the perfect pint, and then get behind the bar and try it yourself. Once you’ve conquered the pour, it’s yours for the drinking. Indulge in the dark stuff, and take home a souvenir photo and certificate. After you’ve finished off your beer, you get to keep the glass.
Of course, as with any test, you might forget the details once you get home. Don’t worry, the Guinness Store is open all year long, and you can always come back for more. The Guinness Store at the Shoppes at Mandalay Bay, 702-632-7773; daily 10 a.m.-11 p.m. –Leslie Ventura

ust off the Caesars Palace casino floor sits Beijing Noodle No. 9, a brilliant Chinese restaurant with noodlepulling chefs beckoning you inside. Gargantuan fish tanks teaming with goldfish flank the entryway leading to a stark white room. The coup de grâce is the ornate, metal, stenciled ceiling, which delivers a disorienting assault on the senses. Beijing’s menu is equally impressive, touching upon many of the eight storied Chinese cuisines, from southern Cantonese of Hong Kong fame to northern Jiangsu. But the most
intriguing offerings are of the Sichuan variety, highlighted by fish in spicy garlic sauce. This mind-numbingly hot dish will alter your consciousness, much like the room itself. Flaky flounder comes swimming in spicy red sauce rife with dried red chilies, ground white pepper and Sichuan peppercorns, the latter delivering its characteristic mouth-numb. Doubanjiang, a traditional fermented bean paste, adds additional spice with hints of fermented funk, while celery and Napa cabbage provide textural foil to the flavorful, fiery dish. Liberal use of white rice should ease the burn,
which builds gradually as the meal proceeds. Think of it as Red Bull for the soul, invigorating your palate and awakening your senses. Beijing Noodle No. 9 at Caesars Palace, 877-346-4642; 24/7. –Jim Begley

“I’ve been here since the late ’80s, when my father moved us here from San Diego,” she says. “He was in construction and built most of these casinos [on the Strip from that period], including Mandalay Bay. People come in and ask me what part of the city I’m from, and I have to laugh when I say, ‘The parking lot, actually,’ because for a while we lived in a huge trailer in the back of the Hacienda while he was building casinos.”

Ironically, Banuelos still lives nearby today. “I guess this is just my stomping grounds. I remember the Glass Pool Inn across the street and going into the Hacienda a lot to use the pay phone.” She started her hospitality career with Southwest Airlines before moving into bartending, and returned to San Diego for a while to work in a biker bar. But the House of Blues concert hall, and now the Foundation Room, has become her favorite gig. “I just love it, and I love the members,” she says. “It’s just different up here. It’s almost like an upscale Cheers, because you know everybody, but you also get people from all over the country who are discovering the Foundation Room for the first time.” When she’s not serving it up—or working her other full-time gig as a “big soccer mom”—you’ll find Banuelos on her Harley-Davidson riding out to Red Rock, Boulder City, Lake Mead or Mount Charleston. “We have a lot of great places to ride here,” she says. “We’re even trying to get a ride together with some of the other servers and some of our members.” –Brock Radke

atalie Banuelos has a very unique perspective on Las Vegas, and not just because she works as a bartender and server at the Foundation Room, perched atop a golden tower at Mandalay Bay. Although she’s only been up there for two years and working at Mandalay Bay for five, in a way it’s been her home for a long, long time.

Kygo by johannes lovund
the notebook
On March 2, Wynn Nightlife announced its newest resident DJ, Kygo. The acclaimed Norwegian producer (and first artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify) will kick off his two-year deal April 30 with the launch of Sunday NightSwim at XS, appropriate considering the residency announcement video features Kygo playing piano above the aquatic stage of Wynn’s Le Rêve show. ... Things are picking up at the Tropicana. In addition to the announced restaurant coming from celebrity chef Robert Irvine and an April 15 Kool & The Gang concert, the 60-year-old South Strip casino resort has partnered with Darin Feinstein’s Red Mercury Entertainment, which will work to “redefine the entertainment experience” property-wide at the Trop. ... 2017 Best New Artist Grammy nominee Anderson .Paak visited Las Vegas last summer for a show at House of Blues. He’s back on the Strip March 17 for the Good Life Fridays at Jewel at Aria.
