ost people spend their entire lives chasing their dreams. Georgia Sinclair—aka Saint Clair—made hers a reality. The former Australian television personality-turned-DJ always had a passion for electronic dance music, but it wasn’t until she faced a life-changing diagnosis that music became her calling.

“The real story is quite heavy,” she says about her foray into EDM. “I was feeling quite unwell, and I was eventually diagnosed with a benign brain tumor.” Forced to quit her job as a television host, Saint Clair turned to her first love—music. “My mother used to think I was insane, because I’d go to sleep listening to techno. It’s been ingrained in me since I was very young. I always wanted to DJ, but it wasn’t a thing girls did very often, so I pursued television, then I got sick, which forced me to hit reset on my life.” As she waited for her surgery, a friend brought over a set of turntables so she could teach herself. “He brought over this huge box of
CDs, and I literally sat at my kitchen bench for months on end learning how to beat-match, learning how everything worked. I taught myself to DJ that way.” Saint Clair has since moved to LA, where she’s working on two projects: her electronic hip-hop persona and a pop-oriented gig with producer and engineer Fis Shkreli. Catch her at Light on Friday and you’ll hear everything from Drake and Future to Polish DJ/producer Sikdope. “Everything [he puts] out is fire, and I play as much of [his] stuff as I possibly l can because it gets the best reaction,” she says. “I mix a lot of genres. My Vegas set will be high-energy but with lots and lots of hip-hop.” Saint Clair at Light at Mandalay Bay, March 31. –Leslie Ventura

ast year, the Academy of Country Music’s annual awards show and Party for a Cause events spanned three days of outdoor concerts at the MGM Resorts Festival Grounds at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. When the ACM announced it would change up the format this year by building a weekend around the awards show at T-Mobile Arena, some took that to mean it might shrink. Instead, it’s only gotten bigger. The main event, broadcast live from Vegas on CBS Sunday, just announced a massive wave of performers: country music megastars Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Cole Swindell, Chris Stapleton, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and more. And the Party for a Cause has spread out with many more events at venues up and down the Strip. There are pool-centric parties at the Hard Rock Hotel, Mandalay Bay and Flamingo and concerts at the House of Blues, Stoney’s and the Pearl. Each night of the
weekend offers an afterparty, be it at the Park near T-Mobile or the new Redneck Riviera at Bally’s Grand Bazaar Shops. The best part about the Vegas takeover? The money it will raise for ACM Lifting Lives, which funds diverse causes including disaster relief, music education in schools and veterans-support services. That’s as inspiring as watching one of the biggest nights in music evolve into something more. Where else but Las Vegas? 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards at T-Mobile Arena, April 2.

ast week’s news that SBE is set to merge with Hakkasan Group truly shook up the nightlife hospitality scene in Las Vegas, but that’s nothing new for SBE.
V e g a s
Established in 2002 by Sam Nazarian, the privately held company known for luxury and sophistication established itself as a leader on the Strip as soon as it opened Hyde Bellagio on New Year’s Eve 2011. More recently, SBE has expanded and diversified that brand with the exclusive Hyde Lounge experience at T-Mobile Arena. The 2014 opening of SLS Las Vegas made the biggest impact, bringing
renowned SBE restaurant brands Bazaar Meat by José Andrés, Katsuya, Umami Burger and Cleo to Las Vegas along with new nightlife offerings and the company’s first hotel operation on the Strip. Though SLS is now under a different operator, SBE held fast to Vegas when it acquired Morgans Hotel Group last year, a portfolio that includes the Delano Las Vegas hotel at Mandalay Bay. The Morgans and Hakkasan deals will also spread SBE’s brand around the world. Even before adding Hakkasan’s impressive offerings to the mix, SBE has a global portfolio featuring 23 world-class lifestyle hotel properties
in nine gateway markets and more than 136 hotel, entertainment and food and beverage outlets. It’s tough to argue with the claim that SBE will soon become the most dynamic hospitality, residential, restaurant and entertainment company in the industry.

“We really want to get back to what it was that made the parties great 10 years ago, when it wasn’t about an event or a DJ,” Mancuso says of refining the approach at Rehab. “My idea is to go back in the direction of the Hard Rock where locals truly wanted to be there, when it was the spot not because of the talent but because of the people.” Huge headliners and dramatic venues can take the attention away from the fact that it’s always about the party, he says. Mancuso started his nightlife career up the street at Ice Nightclub, quickly rising up the ranks at Vegas venues like Pure and Wasted Space. In 2011 he moved to Miami to serve as GM at LIV inside the Fontainebleau, and climbed to director of operations. That different nightlife landscape offered lots of lessons. “Very rarely do you have the chance as an operator to share ideas
that are usually left up to the marketing team, but going to Miami gave me so much experience on that [marketing] side,” Mancuso says. “It opened my eyes to what throwing a great party was. In Vegas it was all about the venue, and the clubs out here are beautiful and that’s great, but what about the quality of the party? That’s what I want to bring back to Rehab, those memories of the Hard Rock when you’d see rock stars hanging out at Center Bar, the idea that this is truly an innovative spot.” Mancuso has some renovations in the works, but before Rehab gets a facelift you’ll see its programming expand in collaboration with other Hard Rock venues—the party will basically take over the whole resort for entire weekends. Keep your eyes on the Hard Rock. –Brock Radke

ith the season of the sun upon us once again, all eyes at the Hard Rock Hotel turn to legendary pool party Rehab. While there are typically subtle changes to the Rehab experience, visitors can expect to see a more significant evolution there starting this year as industry veteran Leo Mancuso, who recently returned to Las Vegas after a turn in Miami, has taken on the role of general manager of nightlife and daylife.

wenty-three-year-old DJ and producer Tanner Petulla— you know him as Getter—has only been in the biz since he started making music in high school, but he’s already collaborated with huge EDM artists like Datsik, Skrillex and Borgore, and he’s already seen a side of the industry he’d rather avoid. “I’ve met a lot of people that I love and a lot of people that want something out of you, and I just wanted to eliminate that part and make an environment that is true and honest and fair with my friends,” Getter says. That’s why he recently launched Shred Collective with his fellow artists, a group that runs the gamut, from music to fashion to visual art. “If you’re the only person out of your friends who gets rich, it’s not really that fun. I’d
rather we all be rich so we can rage and do dumb sh*t. And it gets fans more involved, too, because it’s not just, hey, buy this song. It’s more like, look at all this weird sh*t and then buy all this stuff.” The Shred launch was accompanied by the release of Getter’s new track, “Inhalant Abuse,” an unpredictable grime-fest that demonstrates his wild style and varied influences. Using Shred as a platform grants him more creative freedom. “There are a lot of labels out there that want to maintain an image, which is totally fine and cool, but maybe that image won’t match something I want to put out,” he says. “I used to be with a label that was all about the really gnarly dubstep stuff, and I wanted to
come back and make some more fromthe-heart, vibey sh*t, and it wasn’t the right place to release it. You can never look at Shred Collective and say it’s a dubstep thing or a house thing. It’s whatever anyone wants to do.” Getter’s current musical direction includes metal, one of his earliest influences, along with hip-hop. He’s working on an old-school, Mobb Deepinfluenced album under the name Terror Reid. “I just want to make all the music I can before I die and put it out whenever and however I want to,” he says. Getter at Surrender at Encore, March 31. –Brock Radke

asily one of the most unique entertainment venues in all of Las Vegas, the Mandalay Bay Beach kicks off its seasonal concert series with a bang this weekend, hosting the two-day Academy of Country Music Awards Bash at the Beach featuring stars Jake Owen, Lee Brice, the Brothers Osborne, Big & Rich, Florida Georgia Line and Cole Swindell. It’s a massive opener for one of the Strip’s most beloved outdoor music spots—the rare venue on the Boulevard that also attracts Las Vegas locals—and it’s only the beginning. “It’s a great way to start the season, a chance to see performers that are major arena acts in other markets in an intimate, up-close environment
at the Beach,” says Darren Davis, vice president of entertainment at Mandalay Bay. “We’ve got a few favorites coming back this year, and we’re bringing some new acts in as well. I’ve watched this venue from afar before I worked [here], and I’m very excited to be put in charge of a property with such a cool outdoor experience.” Next up is the Snoop Dogg-starring Wellness Retreat Tour on April 21, followed by country hitmaker Randy Houser on June 2. Rebelution, Ziggy Marley, UB40 and 311 are among others set for summer concerts at the Beach. The best way to see a show here is the new Beachfront Experience, an upgrade
that takes guests to an exclusive area closer to the artists with lounge chair seating, cocktail service and expedited entry. “In the past we’ve had a VIP area up at Moorea Beach Club, and it was a great experience, but it didn’t bring guests closer to the artist, which is the ultimate goal,” Davis says. “Now we’ve created something that really builds around where the guests were already flocking to, a premium area. It’s kind of like what nightclubs do inside, and we’re creating that in this outdoor space.” –Brock Radke

he lost art of the business lunch isn’t lost at all at Rick Moonen’s RM Seafood, the signature restaurant at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place. The three-course prix fixe lunch menu is a classic experience built with enough flexibility to allow Moonen’s dedication to fresh, sustainable seafood to shine through. And RM’s bustling bistro setting is the ideal environment to close the deal, conveniently located near the Mandalay Place valet, which remains free of charge.
Rich New England clam chowder, Maryland blue crab cakes and wokseared edamame are among the first course options, but the one that can’t be skipped is tender grilled octopus with fingerling potatoes and Meyer lemon aioli, a memorable assortment of flavors and textures in one tremendous dish. For the main attraction, choose between spicy cioppino fra diavolo, sweet Maine lobster rolls and curry-spiced True North salmon, or let the kitchen prepare its fresh catch of the day. For dessert, keep Key Lime pie or tiramisu
all to yourself, or play Moonen’s infamous ice cream tasting game with 16 different flavors ice cream, sorbet and ice milk. Call it the most fun team-building exercise your office will ever try. RM Seafood at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702-632-7600; daily 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. –Brock Radke

he Universal Whisky Experience returns to Encore Las Vegas April 5-8, this year growing to four days to accommodate even more events and exclusive tastings of the world’s finest spirits for whiskey connoisseurs and collectors. “This will be the biggest one, and I’ve been to every single event since the original,” says Mitch Bechard, Senior Glenfiddich Ambassador for William Grant & Sons, the legendary family-owned Scottish distiller and distributor. “The liquids you see at this show and get to taste make for a
once-in-a-lifetime experience, that’s for sure.” Bechard, who has spent 10 years working with Scotch, points to last year’s event, when a group of show attendees jumped into five helicopters, flew into the Grand Canyon and opened 30-, 40- and 50-year-old bottles of Glenfiddich—the ultimate whiskey tasting trip. That’s the kind of experience that sets this event apart. What do Bechard and Glenfiddich have in store this year? “We are getting people to rethink the way they look at Glenfiddich,” he says, describing
a new twist on the beloved spirit in which the whiskey is aged in IPA beer casks. “This is the first time ever we’ve used beer casks in the maturation process, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg for us.” He’ll showcase the stuff for the first time at Encore.

The Killers, who recently logged some studio time at Downtown’s 11th Street Records in preparation for their upcoming fifth studio album, are set to headline Lollapalooza in Chicago August 3-6 with Chance the Rapper, Muse and Arcade Fire. Other Lolla acts include DJ Snake, Blink-182, Justice, Migos, Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa. ... Following his recent set at Drai’s Beachclub, Destructo returns to Las Vegas April 21 to co-headline (with Lil Uzi Vert) RVLTN’s first event at the World Market Center Downtown. ... Big restaurant renovations on the way: Powerhouse Jean Georges Steakhouse at Aria will close May 29 and reopen in July with a fresh look; Brand Steakhouse at Monte Carlo will shutter May 11 in order to evolve along with its resort; and Japonais at the Mirage will (finally) transform into something else, Otoro Robata Grill & Sushi, on May 1.
