Ice Cube is coming to Las Vegas ahead of his beloved Raiders.

Cube’s film and music careers converged two years ago with the premiere of Straight Outta Compton, the acclaimed biopic exploring the rise and legacy of N.W.A. His son played the young version of Ice Cube, bringing everything full-circle, but the film might not have spent enough time highlighting Cube’s fiery solo work post-N.W.A.; early-’90s albums AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, Death Certificate and The Predator are uncompromising and aggressive gangsta rap records that have yet to be surpassed.

On the subject of the Raiders: Las Vegans fired up about their new football team would be wise to catch the Cube-directed Straight Outta L.A., an ESPN Films’ 30 for 30 doc that details the team’s 1982 move from Oakland to LA. The Raiders’ swagger and style captivated and influenced Ice Cube and all of LA. Will it happen again in Las Vegas? Las Vegas West Fest with Ice Cube, E-40, Too Short, DJ Quik, Tha Dogg Pound & more at Orleans Arena, April 7. –Brock Radke

I S P H O T O G R AP H B Y AM Y H A R R IS / AP

The man born O’Shea Jackson in Compton, California, might be better known as an actor and filmmaker these days, having most recently starred and produced in comedies Fist Fight, Barbershop: The Next Cut and Ride Along 2. But first and foremost, Cube is a hip-hop pioneer and one of the fathers of West Coast rap. Those skills will be on full display Saturday at the Orleans Arena, when he headlines the Las Vegas West Fest.

V EGA S

S TAGE

icky Martin began his All In residency show at the Park Theater at Monte Carlo this week, a natural fit for an international pop music phenomenon whose tours have always stopped in Las Vegas. But despite the growth of similar headlining productions along the Las Vegas Strip, the timing had to be perfect for this new show. Vegas might have been ready for Martin—who will also perform May 5 and 6 at MGM Resorts new live entertainment venue on the East Coast, the Theater at MGM National Harbor in Maryland—but he had to be ready for Vegas, too.

“I was offered a residency in 2000 but I was just not ready yet,” he says. “I wanted to go on the road at that time, feel the energy of other markets in Asia, Europe, Latin America and Australia. Something very beautiful was happening in my career at that time, and it was important to have that experience, to go to each country and be a part of the culture there.” More recently, Martin completed his epic 20-month One World Tour, finally capping it off in December in Mexico. But he’d been working on his Vegas show all along, hammering out the details and strategy with MGM Resorts for what promises to be one of his most exhilarating creative endeavors.

“Two years ago my [management] came to Las Vegas with this idea, to partner with a great hotel [venue] that was willing to invest in this production, and we decided to stick with Monte Carlo and the Park,” Martin says. “At this point, I know this is the right timing. ... We are putting together a show for this theater, and it’s something that’s never been done before, so it’s pretty spectacular.” Ricky Martin: All In at the Park Theater at Monte Carlo, April 7, 8, 11, 14 & 15. –Brock Radke

t might seem weird that dance music pioneer Jesse Saunders, widely considered the creator of the first house music record (“On and On”), hasn’t been a bigger presence in Las Vegas’ vast club scene. But the Chicago legend (who now lives in Las Vegas) doesn’t play the hits heard all over the Strip. He prefers a deeper musical exploration.

h e r

Luckily for him—and us—Drai’s Paradise dayclub operation was seeking just that for its new Wednesday industry party, which Saunders now plays every week. He’ll also be at next week’s Fever party at Sahara Lounge, where he’ll perform and host a screening of the documentary Unsung: Frankie Knuckles and the Roots of House Music. How did the residency come about? I did my birthday thing at Nacho House [at Tacos & Beer] a few weeks ago, and Fernando [Alva, aka DJ F3R] came through, who has been running the pool at Drai’s over the past few years. This year they gave him two more days [to program]. He came over, said he enjoyed my set [and that Drai’s was] giving him more leeway to do more housey things. He said, ‘I have the Wednesday now as an Industry party, more of an upbeat, hands-in-the-air kind of thing. I don’t have a huge budget, but if you want to join us, I’d love to have you.’ I was like, why not?

n e w

g i g

D r a i ’ s

Given the direction of the party, do you already have an idea of what kind of music you’ll play? You know, I’ve never been one to really put together in my head what I’ll play for any place. Having said that, I’ll play the more Balearic-type stuff that I’d play in Europe or Miami. A lot of the stuff is more Afro-Cuban, a little more Latin-infused, but still groovemusic, putting you on a journey of all the different styles. You’ve famously avoided playing on the Strip. Does it feel good to finally have a space there that welcomes your craft and legacy? Yeah, definitely. I’ve never been opposed to playing on the Strip, [only] someone telling me what to play and how to play it, and me not having creative control. If you go back to Utopia days and Club Ra, that was all house, before all this madness took over the clubs—the hip-hop and now EDM. [House] was the sound of Vegas, and for Vegas to go back to that feels great. Jesse Saunders at Drai’s Beach Paradise, April 12; Fever at Sahara Lounge, April 15. –Mike Prevatt

The Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show’s return to Las Vegas last week was another big business party, chock full of speaker sessions, offsite “boot camp” tours and new products and services ready to boost the industry. A stacked panel discussion on monetizing cannabis focused on the legalization ripple effect. The Shake It Up Classic & Flair Competition captivated everyone on the expo floor at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the new F&B Innovation Center offered live cooking demonstrations. We caught glimpses of comedian Ron White, Absinthe performer Melody Sweets and Bar Rescue star Jon Taffer; took in a hospitality uniformfocused fashion show put on by

We sampled vegan-friendly Baileys almond milk liqueur, gelatin shots from Jevo’s shot-making robot and the new Summer Colada flavor of Ciroc. And for the first time ever, the expo closed with an awards ceremony where hundreds of vendors competed for prizes. Of course, that wasn’t the absolute finale.

t sounds too good to be true, but Wynn Las Vegas is debuting a new experiential program that takes you behind the scenes of all aspects of the lavish resort wonderland with the experts that make the place so special. The Wynn Master Class Series begins on April 6 with a course called “Pasta, Frank’s Way.” The Frank would be Sinatra, and the pasta would be yours, guided by the steady hands of chef Theo Schoenegger (of Encore’s Sinatra restaurant) and Frank Sinatra’s granddaughter, A.J. Lambert. You’ll leave an expert in handcrafted pasta with recipes in tow and a full belly from a threecourse lunch. And that’s only the beginning. Future curated, interactive courses will span entertainment, art, gaming, salon, food and beverage and more. On April 21, be a vintner for a day with

Wynn Executive Director of Wine Mark Thomas and master sommelier Joseph Spellman of Justin Vineyards for an exclusive winemaking workshop. On May 4, go beyond the velvet ropes to sip Champagne and spin with resident DJ Clutch, who’ll show the view from the booth at Intrigue. On May 12, celebrated stylist Claude Baruk will lead a workshop highlighting the best tools to achieve the ultimate selfie, from hair and makeup to photo-snapping tips. Tickets for the Wynn Master Class Series are available by contacting the concierge at 702-770-7070.

oo much time has passed since breaks legend DJ Icey graced Las Vegas with his prowess. But our patience has paid off, and he’s making the trek from the Sunshine State to bring some booty bass to Artisan Afterhours on Saturday night. What kept you away from Vegas? I used to play in Vegas quite often. My old friend Sol [Shafer] used to sort out bookings at Rain at the Palms on Paul Oakenfold’s nights, as well as other nights a few times a year, and prior to that back in the day with DJ Noey at Club Ra—so many good nights there! And way back to David [Cohen]’s club [Utopia]. After the EDM mainstream explosion though, things changed.

Since there haven’t been proper breaks in Vegas for a while, how would you describe the genre for noobs who only know the clubs on the Strip? A lot of DJs are mixing in breaks in their sets these days. DJ Mondo, who I believe is one of the residents at Hakkasan and Omnia, has the balls to drop some breaks after he opens and closes for whichever EDM DJ is in town. People have heard breaks, they just didn’t know it if they aren’t familiar with genres. Boom-chk, boom-boom-chk! What can we look forward to the rest of this year? I am always working on something and am currently finishing up five new tracks.

Do you miss the old-school rave days? What do you think about the new-school ravers? The old-school rave days were more hedonistic in terms of dancing. People were on the dancefloor and going for it all night, no cell phones to distract from the reason you went to the show: to dance. New ravers maybe bounce more than dance, but everyone is still having a great time. New school, old school, all school—it’s all good. DJ Icey with Donald Glaude & others at Artisan Afterhours, April 8. –Deanna Rilling

lavor is important, of course, but the greatest dishes at the greatest restaurants are also a study in contrasting textures. The iconic pork belly buns at chef David Chang’s original Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York—now available in Las Vegas for the first time, since January, at the Cosmopolitan—are a perfect example. The foundation is the fluffy, Chinese-style steamed bun, an ethereal pillow of doughy goodness. Luxuriously rich slabs of skinless pork belly are enclosed—slow-roasted pig perfection that’s not too sweet or fatty. There’s crisp crunch and a bit of brine from quick pickled Kirby cucumbers and a sprinkle of thinly

sliced scallion. But these beautiful baos aren’t truly finished until you squeeze on some of Chang’s beloved ssam sauce, a kicked-up hoisin that adds savory, sweet and spicy to this perfectly planned bite. It’s a minisandwich that seems so simple, but you can taste and feel all the work and creativity that went into it. Momofuku at the Cosmopolitan, 702-698-2663; daily 11 a.m.-11 p.m. –Brock Radke

otley Brews’ Great Vegas Festival of Beer—the biggest annual beer fest in the Las Vegas Valley—will be different when it returns Downtown this weekend. First, don’t worry about the unpredictable weather that muddied up last year’s event. It’s been moved indoors to the World Market Center. More importantly, there’s a new aspect to the event that’s taking creative competition to new levels. Before Saturday’s Grand Tasting, Friday’s Mad Craft experience will combine local chefs and breweries into a science fair of beer. “Brewing is alchemy. We’re half mad scientist and half creative artist, trying to find the balance between the two,” says CraftHaus Brewery co-owner and cofounder Wyndee Forrest, just one of the participating brewers. “Mad Craft allows us to show the public what we’re doing on a daily basis anyway, something unique and distinct.”

Forrest called no spoilers on CraftHaus’ creation, but confirmed that she will compete in the Best Beer Experiment category with something called the Fruit Loop. “It’s never been done before, at least by us.” With food participants including Toddy Shop, VegeNation, Pub 1842, Other Mama, Tacos & Beer and Metro Pizza competing with beer-infused dishes

Mad Craft guests can sample more than 30 beer creations and 14 culinary experiments, and an industry panel of local judges will award prizes to the tastiest endeavors. Brewers and bartenders from Big Dog’s, Able Baker, Lovelady and more will concoct beer blends, cocktails and specialty brews only available at this event.

savory and sweet, Mad Craft is sure to be deliciously off the rails—and an exciting example of the growth of the local scene. “I’m really proud of our local beer scene. I think we’ve surpassed our infancy,” Forrest says. “Vegas is a very unique community. We like to branch out and get people to ask questions and be part of the change, and Mad Craft is exactly that kind of event.” Great Vegas Festival of Beer at World Market Center, April 7-8, greatvegasbeer.com. –Brock Radke

wenty years in, Jason Tenner certainly qualifies as a Las Vegas entertainment institution, having performed as the frontman for one of the country’s most popular tribute acts, Purple Reign, at so many different venues it’s hard to keep track.

G N

For the past two years, Tenner’s Prince has owned the stage at Westgate Las Vegas, but very quickly after Prince’s death last year, the show moved from the small Cabaret showroom to the International Theater—the legendary space Elvis Presley, Liberace and Wayne Newton have called home. That’s far from the only way things have changed for Tenner.

A R Y

T O

“It’s not that we didn’t, before this moment, attempt to make the most reasonable facsimile of Prince, his work, his music, the sound, the look, the feeling, that we could; we’ve always done that. But now the level of scrutiny is a little higher,” he says. “Now it feels like the fans are paying more attention. They are hyperaware.”

C A N

B E

Tenner has responded by amping up his already impressive work ethic, an effort that allows him to work 50 weeks a year in Las Vegas and across the country. “I have to take care of myself physically, but a couple weeks a year is all I need,” he says. The most significant changes are to the show itself, which is getting bigger and perhaps more popular than it’s ever been. Tenner’s always tweaking. “There are a lot of Prince songs I want to do that we don’t do. The vast majority of people know the hits: ‘Little Red Corvette,’ ‘1999,’ ‘Raspberry Beret.’ [For] the Vegas show, we’re already at an hour and 35, 40 minutes, so if we drive it any further, we’ve got to take an intermission, which I actually wouldn’t be opposed to. Hmm ... that’s something to think about.” Purple Reign: The Prince Tribute Show at Westgate Las Vegas, Wednesdays-Saturdays at 9 p.m. –Brock Radke For our complete interview with Jason Tenner, visit lasvegas weekly.com/industry.
