race yourself. If “Invitation” is any indication, Yellow Claw’s second full-length album, Los Amsterdam—set for release April 7 on Mad Decent—might take over the summer. A steady, pulsating beat, rhythmic chimes and hypnotic vocals from 17-year-old ingenue Yade Lauren set the pace on the first single from the new collection. There’s a good chance you’ll hear “Invitation” and catch its inviting vibes when the Dutch duo takes control for consecu-

tive Friday night gigs at Intrigue.

Jim Aasgier and Nizzle dubbed their latest output Los Amsterdam because it was created in both their native Netherlands home and their stateside headquarters, LA. “Good Day,” featuring DJ Snake and Elliphant, shows off diverse influences, with ’80s-style synth lines, vintage drum sounds and tweaked and twisted vocal lines forming modern melodies. Other guest appearances on the 13-track

record include Sophie Simmons, The Galaxy, Moksi, Juicy J, Lil Debbie, GTA, Quavo and Tinie Tempah. Rest assured, Yellow Claw won’t be the only DJs spinning these songs all summer long. Yellow Claw at Intrigue at Wynn Las Vegas, March 17 & 24.

here are thousands of YouTube videos showing off the dancing fountains at Bellagio, but Lexy Panterra’s version of the classic tourist stop has to be the best. With Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” blasting away along with one of Vegas’ most iconic attractions, the queen of twerk does her thing and attracts a bit of a crowd herself. It’s no wonder the YouTube clip has more than 8.5 million views.

“I’d really wanted to shoot a video to that song, but it’s difficult to get the rights, so we were just passing by when it started playing, and it was like, turn the cameras on, let’s go,” explains the busy singer/ dancer/actress. “There were definitely some people trying to look without their girlfriends noticing, doing the side-eye thing.”

Everyone will be paying attention this weekend when Panterra returns to the Rehab stage, where she’ll be performing some new songs and almost certainly hosting a twerkout to see which partiers can shake it best; she’s also holding a Twerkshop class at the Hard Rock Hotel on March 16.

Panterra has been working on a new EP of danceable pop-EDM that she’s hoping to wrap in the coming months, trying to find a

t h r e a t

P a n t e r r a t o

balance between music and other adventures. She spoke to us from the set of a horror movie, and she was locking down another role in her second Tyler Perry production, too. “It’s actually really tough. I wish there were two of me,” she says. “I have so many ideas, and I like to do things then and there, as soon as they come. But I’m in a good space now, and I have a great team.”

She’s also spending as much time as possible at her new dance studio back home in LA, teaching a dozen different classes—guess you can’t twerk all the time. Her Vegas trip will double as a mini-vacation.

“I’m bringing all my girls out. My mom’s even coming this time.”

And she has a particular mission in mind: “I’ve got to go see the Backstreet Boys.” Lexy Panterra at Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel, March 18. –Brock Radke

here isn’t much 22-year-old twins Dylan and Dakota Gonzalez can’t do. The sisters are UNLV Lady Rebels with serious game—Dakota was named to the Mountain West All-Conference Team this season, and the team made the cut for the 2017 Women’s National Invitation Tournament.

Their selfie game is on point, too—together, they have nearly 2 million Instagram followers. Take two minutes to look them up. Don’t worry, we’ll wait.

It’s little wonder the duo caught the attention of hip-hop star Drake, who has flown to Vegas to catch the sisters go hard in the paint. Like Drizzy, we know greatness when we see it, so we asked Dylan and Dakota to star in this season’s Las Vegas Weekly spring fashion issue.

“We’re very diverse when it comes to our styles and love to switch it up depending on our mood and the seasons,” Dakota says. “Dylan’s a little more sophisticated; I’m a little more bubbly and girly.” Despite their differences, the twins take advantage of their doubled wardrobe. “We share all of our clothes, but we wear things differently.”

As the heat turns up and bikinis come out, the sisters say they’re most excited about boyfriend jeans, bomber jackets and high-waisted looks—and rocking bright, bold colors. “We really love color,” Dakota says. “People don’t realize how hard it is to bring so many different colors together for one look.”

They make it look easy, and that goes for everything they do. Between

basketball, school and keeping their Insta-game lit, they’ve still found time to make it into the recording studio. That’s right, they’re singers and songwriters, too.

“We write all of our own stuff,” Dylan says. “We love recording and we love writing. We really enjoy the creative process.”

The sisters have been churning out pop-tinged R&B tunes (hear: “Better” and “Say Goodnight”) for the past year—and they’ve gotten feedback from Champagne Papi himself. “He’s heard our music before,” Dylan says about Drake. “In the future we hope we can collaborate on something.”

as Vegas is the best place to catch March Madness, and while every Vegas venue seems to have its own version of a viewing party, it’s tough to compete with Westgate’s Hoops Central. Even the SuperBook, world famous as the state’s largest sports wagering spot with more than 4,488 square feet of LED video screens, can’t contain the mammoth party that is college basketball in Vegas.

That’s why Westgate is also opening its iconic International Theater, offering 1,600 more seats and an exciting atmosphere to catch every minute of tournament action. Admission there is also free, but reserved seats can be purchased at the Westgate box office.

“This is always such an important event for the city, one that makes an impact in so many different ways,” says SuperBook Vice President Jay Kornegay.

“This year is probably going to be bigger than ever. There are no clear favorites [in the tournament], so there are that many more fans whose teams have a shot. We think we’re going to see a spike this year based on how wide open it is.”

The NCAA Tournament’s duration also helps make March one of Vegas’ most successful months. “This is the one event that’s actually more popular at the beginning,” Kornegay says.

“For the first four days, we’ll write many more tickets than we did for the

Super Bowl. And it’s a different type of crowd, a lot of groups who are really coming to enjoy themselves. They may be betting smaller but they’re betting on almost every game, and that adds up to a great environment and an event like no other.”

After its massive remodel last January, the Westgate SuperBook is running on all cylinders, including the appreciated amenity of going smoke-free. For more information on specials and features during Hoops Central, March 16-19, visit westgatevegas.com. –Brock Radke

Terrace sunrise sets have a history around the world. Why did you want to bring that experience to Vegas? I just love the vibe when night turns into day, and the sun starts coming up. I think it’s just a really special time when most people are sleeping; the people that are into it can all share a really cool experience together. Over the years of doing my Artisan patio sets and sunrise sets out there and sunrise sets at Burning Man, the hours are a really cool time for me to explore different things musically.

How does a terrace afterhours differ from an indoor afterhours, sound-wise? As the darkness starts to fade and the light starts to appear, the vibe has to change.

The music that you’re playing in the dark at 4 a.m. should be a lot harder than the softer sounds that welcome in the sunrise better.

I might play a little heavier during peak hour and go a little bit deeper through sunrise, but once the sun’s up and it’s a day party and the emotion and the beauty of the sunrise has passed and it’s just light out, then you can kind of bring it back out into something a little bit more fun, maybe not quite as banging as what you were playing during peak hours, but not quite as deep as what happens at sunset.

What can we expect at the new Terrace Afterhours? We are open from 1:30 a.m. to roughly 8 a.m. every Saturday night through Sunday morning. … The opening night we’re doing a two-and-ahalf-hour open bar, and that’ll be from 1:30 a.m. to 4 a.m. It’ll be free to get in [for locals], however ... if they are dropped off in a taxi or Uber they will have to pay a small cover to offset the payouts.

So it is definitely recommended to either use our in-house limo service to get picked up for free anywhere around the city, or to drive. Terrace Afterhours with Brett Rubin, Spacebyrdz, Gabriel Blu & more, Hustler, March 19.

hen most people are calling it a night, the afterhours set is just digging in for underground sounds. And while the harsh light of day bombards you after leaving a dark club, the sunrise is a welcome factor for the new Terrace Afterhours. Las Vegas DJ and producer mainstay Brett Rubin—teaming with Jeff Ermilio, director of marketing at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club—lets us in on what to expect for the new late Saturday/early Sunday party, launching this weekend.

year and a half after Salute Trattoria Italiana opened its doors, Clique Hospitality has tapped celebrity chef Luke Palladino to revamp the Red Rock Resort restaurant. Having worked with Emeril Lagasse and Todd English, the New Jersey-bred chef opened Onda at the Mirage (now Portofino) and recently operated restaurants along the East Coast.

For Salute’s menu makeover, Palladino dug deep, channeling his celebrated past in Venice, Rome, Piedmont and Tuscany to breathe fresh air into the resort’s luxurious Italian eatery. The result is as hip and bold as it is refined.

Grab a seat at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail while soaking in Salute’s chic

ambiance—white and gray marble with rich wood accents and hints of burnt orange, with modern lighting fixtures and exposed bulbs with golden trim.

That mixture of comfort and cool is reflected in Salute’s updated cuisine.

Start with the crespelle, an Italian take on the crepe, filled with baked taleggio cheese and wild mushrooms, or opt for a bianco pizza to share, with pecorino and buffalo mozzarella cheeses, sun-dried-tomato pesto and toasted pistachios.

Palladino’s most valuable players are his hand-crafted pastas, like the truffle ravioli—truffle sottocenere and ricotta-filled agnolotti, foie gras-cognac crema and shaved parmigiano—or Salute’s signature Cacio e Pepe (which

literally translates to “cheese and pepper”), spaghetti served tableside from a pecorino cheese wheel. Just make sure your camera’s handy. And you can’t go wrong with the Bistecca Alla Fiorentina, a 32-ounce prime porterhouse for two, served with crisp fingerling potatoes and black garlicporcini butter. Salute at Red Rock Resort, 702-797-7311; Sunday-Thursday 5-10 p.m., Friday & Saturday 5-11 p.m.

ake and shochu might be Japan’s stalwart spirits, but it’s also becoming a whiskey wonderland, producing some of the most in-demand brands around the world. Luckily, Sushisamba at the Palazzo has managed to snag more than a few bottles and recently unveiled the largest Japanese whiskey list in Las Vegas.

The collection reflects the three “founding fathers” of Japanese whiskeys—Kiichiro Iwai of Mars, Masataka Taketsuru of Nikka and Shinjiro Torii of Suntory—plus the new generation: Ichiro and Akashi.

“What I love about the Japanese is that they are true and honorable to the ingredients, and at the same

time remaining playful through experimentation with bourbon casks and different climates,” says Hayes Swope, Sushisamba’s director of operations.

To mark this intoxicating achievement, enthusiasts can preorder a curated menu of single malt, blended and grain whiskeys in addition to dishes that accentuate the distinct profiles and versatility of each spirit. They can also test the waters with a featured course and whiskey combination each week through April 10.

Standouts in the lineup include a Wagyu cocktail that treats Iwai Japanese whiskey to a wash of the highest grade Wagyu beef before marrying it with maple and salted

caramel, and finishing it with a lemon rind to add balance. Then there’s the Suntory Hakushu 12-year single malt, perfect for highlighting the salty notes of smoked ocean trout roe.

And don’t forget the Akashi Single Malt 5-year Sherry Cask—only 1,000 bottles exist!—perfect for bringing out the sweetness of aji panca barbecue-sauced robata pork ribs.

Sushisamba at Palazzo, 702-607-0700; Sunday-Wednesday 11:30 a.m.-1 a.m., Thursday-Saturday 11:30 a.m.-2 a.m.

veryone knows the casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip are loaded with some of the country’s best steakhouses.

But you don’t have to go inside a casino for a classic and satisfying steakhouse experience.

Now is the right time to check into that green-and-white building across the Strip from the Monte Carlo.

Through March 19, Smith & Wollensky will showcase IrishAmerican Whiskey, matured in American bourbon casks and distilled in Ireland.

And it’s not just about the cocktails,

although there are plenty of those, too, as well as a specialty tasting flight on this limited-time menu. But the main event is a USDA Prime Kansas City bone-in sirloin that has been dry-aged in IrishAmerican for 30 days, wrapped in a whiskey-soaked cheesecloth. The result is a distinct sensation, a smoky kick added to the beef’s rich flavor. “We’ll have a balance of fruitiness, smokiness, and a taste of American oak from the cask,” says Corporate Executive Chef Matt King. “The dry-aging process is going to increase the tenderness of the steak as well.”

You’ve never celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a meal like this. But plan carefully—this select steak is available in limited quantity, even in Las Vegas, and you can actually reserve your meal by phone. Smith & Wollensky at 3767 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702-862-4100; Sunday-Thursday noon-11 p.m., Friday & Saturday noon-midnight.
