as Vegas could use more Destructo, and it’s about to get a dose.

As an artist, executive, promoter and founder of Hard Events, Gary Richards has cultivated a unique career in music. Now his focus is on Renegade, a powerhouse EP due March 31 that fuses house, hip-hop and funk and features guests like Yo Gotti, Pusha T, Tink, E-40, Ty Dolla $ign, iLoveMakonnen and Denzel Curry. He’s bringing the music to Vegas for the first real spring weekend at Drai’s Beachclub. “I’ve played [Vegas] a few times [recently], and I think I’m a little ahead of where Vegas is at [musically],” Richards says. “What I do works everywhere, and I play Paris, Sydney, Jakarta, Fiji. In Vegas it works, too, but there might be one dude sitting in bottle service who wants to hear Bon Jovi, and I’m not playing it. I’m not a jukebox. I’m trying to be a leader, not a follower, and I hope Vegas is ready.” It’s no wonder he titled the EP Renegade. Finding new sounds in an uncompromising way has always been his m.o.

N G R D

In 2012, Live Nation purchased Hard Events, which enables Richards to produce his festivals, concerts and events on a greater scale. Next up on that front is the 10th anniversary of Hard Summer, coming soon to Southern California. It takes a long, dedicated commitment to stay on the cutting edge, something Richards has demonstrated over his career. It hasn’t always happened when it comes to music in Las Vegas. “You can’t start something new and fresh in one weekend and expect it to be a home run,” he says. “It’s taken me more than 10 years. We have 150,000 people at Hard Fest LA, but we started with 5,000. I’ve been in the business 25 years trying to dig a little deeper.” Destructo at Drai’s Beachclub at the Cromwell, March 25. –Brock Radke

ear the name DJ Jazzy Jeff and you’ll probably always think of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or crossover hits like “Parents Just Don’t Understand” and “Summertime.” But those thoughts only capture the early career of Jeffrey Allen Townes, now a 52-year-old Philadelphia producer and turntablist who travels the world and chronicles his musical adventures through the web series Vinyl Destination. Chasing Goosebumps is a recent example of what Jazz is all about today; he invited some of his favorite musicians into the studio— James Poyser, Stro Elliot, Rich Medina, Aaron Camper, Teeko, Glenn Lewis and many others— and challenged them to help him make an album in just seven days. “That hands down was the most satisfying project I’ve ever been a part of, because we controlled it from A to Z,” he says. “It was amazing to have so many talented people together for one cause. The goal was to take the barriers

out of the way that slow down the creative process and make it just about making great music.” This weekend, Jeff returns to Las Vegas, a DJ destination with which he’s very familiar, to take control at Rehab’s party. “I played Vegas a few times last year, but I had a residency there for about 10 years at the Palms and Hakkasan,” he says. “I love the energy Vegas has, and I expect it to be the same [at Rehab].” DJ Jazzy Jeff at Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel, March 26. –Brock Radke

he bass is thumping, feet are dancing and the liquor is definitely flowing on the other side of the country for Miami Music Week. And the three-day Ultra Music Festival is the perfect finale. For the past 19 years, Ultra has paved the way for electronic music. Not only does it mark the beginning of festival season, the Bayfront Park fest is the one place where you’re guaranteed to catch some of your favorite DJs and electronic musicians debuting new material before anyone else gets to hear it. This year’s live headliners include Diplo’s dancehall-inspired trio Major

Lazer, ’90s English acts The Prodigy and Underworld, rapper Ice Cube, French duo Justice and electronic musician Zhu. Vegas club mainstays abound on the DJ headliner list: David Guetta, Above & Beyond, Afrojack, Alesso, Axwell^Ingrosso, Dash Berlin, DJ Snake, Martin Garrix, Galantis, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Tiësto and Zedd are all familiar faces. Other must-sees include progressive house duo Sasha and John Digweed and veteran acid house DJ Carl Cox. Of course, the March 24-26 celebration will be going until sunrise each night, so don’t forget to soak up some rays at Delano Beach Club at

Delano Miami (the sister hotel to the Mandalay Bay’s golden tower) for Guy Gerber’s Rumors Miami set on Friday followed by Claude VonStroke’s epic Birdhouse blowout on Saturday and the Playground Pool Party with tropical house DJ Klingande on Sunday. No matter how you spend your threeday weekend, it’s going to be ultra. –Leslie Ventura

J Turbulence (aka Tim Alejandro) has been a full-time Las Vegan for four years, but Vegas has been his second home much longer. He’s become such a prominent force in the club scene, it feels like he’s been part of the Vegas party scene forever. If he’s not priming the audience as Lil Jon’s tour DJ, he’s playing his own gigs at spots like Hakkasan, Heart of Omnia, Tao and Jewel, and dayclubs like Liquid and Bare.

fresh, but lately he’s been working in a favorite track he put together a couple of years ago with legendary Atlanta hip-hop and R&B producer Jermaine Dupri. “It’s a little bit trap, about 76 beats per minute, and it’s just a feelgood song,” he says of “Foes,” which features vocals by Mishon and a big, heavy EDM drop leading into the chorus. “Those chords have a summer type of feel, and the lyrics are really good ... it’s something for the ladies, for sure.”

Turbulence plays a little bit of everything and always keeps the mix

The hard-driving EDM and smooth R&B combine for a sound that feels

more current than ever, showing off Turbulence’s ability to blend genres in a unique way. He says trap remains a hot ticket. “Everyone is still playing it, and the charts still prove it, too,” he says. “All the big EDM [DJs] are playing hip-hop now, so it’s not a surprise. It’s in its prime right now.” –Brock Radke

arch Madness continues this weekend, and the deeper we get into the tournament—which many consider the greatest American sporting event around—the more we realize why we love it so much. It’s the memories. It’s the thrilling glory from past years that stick with fans for lifetimes. And it’s the many new moments we add to the collection each year. It doesn’t have to be about college basketball—we latch onto anything that brings back the nostalgia of our best-loved sports moments: a Mitchell & Ness snapback commemorating the championship season of our favorite NBA squad; a crisp, clean set of vintage Nike kicks you rocked as a kid; a graphic tee that redefines the look of iconic basketball or boxing figures. These are just some of the items you’ll find inside Suite 160 at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place (between Mandalay Bay and Luxor on the Strip), a sports- and streetwear boutique that has been offering exclusives to the Las Vegas market for more than 15 years. Suite 160 symbolizes a lifestyle that’s about more than the hottest new sneakers and street-fashion trends. It’s about being legendary, one moment at a time. Suite 160 at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702-304-2513; daily 10 a.m.-11 p.m.

he fabulous Las Vegas dining scene is about to get even more fabulous, thanks to the Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group. On April 1, the Vegas faction of the celebrity chef-lead restaurant group will begin a gamechanging guest chef dinner series when it hosts New York City’s “Dean of Italian cooking,” Cesare Casella, at the Palazzo’s Carnevino. Casella is the restaurateur behind award-winning Salumeria Rosi, Maremma and Beppe, not to mention

an expert in Italian charcuterie and a friend of B&BHG culinary director Nicole Brisson. The multi-course menu for the first dinner will include Cesare’s cured salumi and prosciutto, along with imaginative fare like lamb agnolotti and charred octopus.

Guest chef dinners are nothing new to the Las Vegas Strip, but usually, it’s local talent popping up. “The vision of this new dinner series is for our chefs to collaborate with these guest chefs, whom we consider to be friends and mentors,” Brisson says.

Future guests chefs will include Nancy Silverton from Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza in LA, Frank Langello from Babbo in New York and Top Chef favorite Shirley Chung from Twenty Eight in Newport Beach.

ountless restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip offer variations of a tasting menu, highlighting signature creative cuisine while leading your palate on an adventure. But Libertine Social, opened last year at Mandalay Bay, does things a little differently than its neighbors, and its tasting menu follows suit. Libertine’s Fireside Chats—served during one Saturday-night seating at the open kitchen counter (but also conveniently available throughout the restaurant)—offer five courses of

unique cuisine. They’re served in a relatively quick and casual way, paired with special beers from a spotlighted brewery and accompanied by conversation and explanation from executive chef Jamaal Taherzadeh. On a recent visit, the experience featured the flavorful creations from Quebec’s Unibroue brewery served with memorable plates like hamachi ceviche with pickled apple and chicharrón and a ridiculously rich and delicious crispy-skin porchetta with roasted apple, shaved fennel and citrus. The interaction in a comfortable, upbeat

environment is loose and fun, far from the stuffy, formal tasting sessions found at many fine-dining rooms. The food finds the perfect line between edgy and familiar, exactly what you want when you faithfully put yourself in the hands of a great chef. Libertine Social at Mandalay Bay, 702-632-7200; daily 5-10:30 p.m. –Brock Radke

he burgeoning Las Vegas craft-beer scene hasn’t been defined by a single style or brewery. It’s better characterized by the consistent creativity of its brewers and brands, and lately, one beermaker has helped expand that local landscape. PT’s Brewing Company launched just over a year ago, and due to the size and strength of parent company Golden Entertainment—PT’s just opened its 54th Nevada tavern in southwest Las Vegas—it has quickly become one of the most widely distributed craft brands in the region. Five of its most popular brews are now available at PT’s Pubs, PT’s Gold, PT’s Ranch, Si-

erra Gold, Sean Patrick’s and SG Bar. “Craft beer is a growing business in the Las Vegas Valley, and our PT’s Brewing Company has quickly made its own mark as a compelling new entry into this market,” says Brent Edlund, director of tavern operations for PT’s Entertainment Group. “Our growing operations offer the brewery the perfect platform to introduce our handcrafted beers to a new audience.” PT’s award-winning brewmaster, Dave Otto, says the company’s beers are now competing well against some of the country’s longtime favorites within PT’s taverns. “We have faith that our beers will become strong

players in the market.” The brewery on North Tenaya Way can produce 6,000 kegs a year and creates seven primary beers, along with rotating varieties. The five brews offered at the taverns: American lager Horizon Light, Sean Patrick’s Irish Red, Boulder Stout, Hualapai IPA and Golden Hefeweizen. “We will continue to produce new and exciting handcrafted beers, along with these excellent selections that have become popular choices at the brewery,” Otto says.

he crudo selection at Sugarcane is a tour de force of technique and cultural understanding from mastermind chef Timon Balloo. “It’s the infatuation with the cuisine and refinement of Japanese food,” Balloo says. “I wanted to highlight raw fish in a very European setting in the sense of Mediterranean-style techniques, the way you’d have it if you went to Greece or Italy.” If there’s a culinary culture that knows how to prepare raw fish, Balloo can handle it. Kinilaw kampachi ceviche sees the chef look back to his time immersed in Filipino culture while in San Francisco. Though many diners are familiar with Latin American ceviches and European crudos, Balloo’s Filipino version amps things up with big flavors. The acid comes from the vinegar in a pour-over coconut-cane sauce, which hits on many delicious notes—it’s also sweet and creamy. The expertly cut yellowtail picks up the accompanying flavors, including citrus segments and jalapeños. It’s a truly unique bite.

Hokkaido scallop is another elegant example of blended flavors and textures. Thinly sliced scallops meld with lime, jalapeño, black truffle and crunchy, compressed apple. Somehow, nothing gets overpowered. Delicate Kombu-marinated fluke, another Sugarcane must, rests on Asian kelp, inviting diners to take charge of the experience. The longer the fish sits on the seaweed, the saltier it gets. Charred onions and sesame seeds bring different layers to the dish, and red grapes tie it all together. When it comes to raw bar creativity, Balloo and Sugarcane stand alone. Sugarcane at Venetian, 702-414-2263; Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-1 a.m., Friday & Saturday 11 a.m.-2 a.m. –Jason Harris
