first listen to the tuneful ballad “Heavy,” featuring additional vocals from electronic-pop chanteuse Kiiara, might make you a bit unsure of what you’re hearing. Is this a Linkin Park song? You probably know the rock band, which originally broke through during the nu-metal era of the late ’90s, for an aggressive, super-charged, screamsinging sound. But new studio album One More Light, scheduled for release May 19, takes things in a different direction, though not one unfamiliar for
a group that has steadily tweaked its style through the years, incorporating elements of pop and electronica. (See new single “Invisible” for further melodic evidence.) Linkin Park will kick off its One More Light tour in Boston in July, featuring special appearances by Snoop Dogg during its West Coast swing in the fall. This weekend in Las Vegas, the band sparks local CBS Radio’s two-day SPF festival at the Cosmopolitan, performing a sold-out concert at the Chelsea Friday before a pop-dance and R&B-oriented lineup—DNCE,
Hailee Steinfeld, Jason Derulo, Niall Horan and Post Malone—takes over at the Boulevard Pool Saturday. It’s a radio-friendly attack to be certain, and Linkin Park should be a natural fit to get things started. Linkin Park at the Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan, May 19.

hris Brown might be one of the most controversial and polarizing performers in music today—even to his dedicated fans—but offstage issues haven’t deterred him from cranking out hits and selling out shows. As Billboard recently reported in an extensive piece exploring the current state of the 28-year-old artist, “While it seems as if Chris Brown the man has yet to find his bottom, Chris Brown the R&B star remains a commercial force and near-constant presence on radio.”
Last year, Brown notched a handful of debuts on the Hot 100 (lead by “Back to Sleep”) and wrapped up his 41-show arena tour One Hell of a Nite after venturing across the United States and Europe. He already has a hit this year: “Party” featuring Usher and Gucci Mane, which is also the name of his current mini-tour, set to wrap next week at the Forum in LA and stopping at MGM Grand on the Strip Saturday night. And there are no signs of slowing down. Earlier this month, Brown blasted out a 40-song tracklist for his
eighth studio album, Heartbreak on a Full Moon, expected later this year. That’s exactly the kind of prolific output that has kept him on the charts, on the road and top of mind when it comes to R&B’s biggest draws. The Party Tour with Chris Brown, Fabolous, O.T. Genasis & Kap G at MGM Grand Garden Arena, May 20.

or the past eight years, XS has been the most acclaimed club in the history of Las Vegas, so what better way to celebrate than with eight nights of incredible events?” says Alex Cordova, Wynn Nightlife’s executive vice president and managing partner. Indeed, XS has been named the No. 1 nightclub in the United States by Nightclub & Bar for an unprecedented five years—on top of being recognized last month by Maxim magazine as Las Vegas’ highest-earning club. So there’s much to celebrate, and the Wynn Nightlife juggernaut is doing so

with the biggest names on its resident DJ roster. The eight momentous parties begin on Friday, May 19, running FridayMonday for two straight weekends, capped off with the Memorial Day Weekend holiday. Marshmello kicks things off that first Friday; David Guetta spins May 20 and 27; Diplo takes control for Nightswim on May 21 and again on May 29; The Chainsmokers perform May 22 and 26; and Kygo gets behind the decks for Nightswim on May 28. Expect a revamped Nightswim experi-
ence to raise the level of revelry to new heights. “We have set the bar high for these two anniversary weekends and look forward to seeing many of our friends from over the years so they can experience all that we have in store,” Cordova says. XS Nightclub at Encore, 702-770-7300.

he Monterey International Pop Festival was one of the essential events in music and culture in the 1960s, spurring the “Summer of Love” in 1967 and remembered for the first major American appearances by The Who and Jimi Hendrix, plus the introductions of Janis Joplin and Otis Redding. Exactly 50 years later, it’s back on the same hallowed grounds in Monterey, California, for three more days of memorable music—and original festival co-founder Lou Adler is involved
this time, too. Headliners include Leon Bridges, Father John Misty and Regina Spektor on Friday; Jack Johnson, Norah Jones and Jim James on Saturday; and Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band, The Head and the Heart and Gary Clark Jr. for Sunday’s finale. An art exhibition titled It Happened in Monterey ...Music, Love and Flowers will bring some historical depth to the event through rare documents, photographs, artifacts and screened excerpts of the 1968 Monterey Pop documentary. It also looks at the careers of the legendary musi-
cians who performed there, including Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, The Mamas & The Papas and Eric Burdon and the Animals—the latter also performing on the festival’s opening Friday. Monterey International Pop Festival at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, June 16-18.

hen the Las Vegas Strip McDonald’s location behind his Fatburger closed, Darin Feinstein knew he wanted to make something of the space. But one venue wouldn’t do. Feinstein, who operates several local bars and restaurants, along with the diverse Red Mercury Entertainment group, was also able to snatch up an adjacent space for a combined 13,000 square feet to create a pedestrianfriendly food court containing eight different offerings. In addition to a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf location and the first expansion of Feinstein’s popular El Dorado Cantina (El Dorado Ex-
press), Boulevard Foodcourt includes six new concepts: AAA Sandwich Co., Cannonball Buffalo Wings & Fingers, dessert stop CookieMUFU, Mighty Fries, Reb Dog and Voodoo Pizza. Why a food court? “There are so many bars up and down the Strip, and we thought we would lose out on a certain number of people every day on Las Vegas Boulevard if we didn’t find a way to present more options,” Feinstein says. The food court is set to soft-open this week, just a few steps away from another recently opened venue under the same company, Rock & Reilly’s in the Hawaiian Marketplace.
While he’s excited about the new F&B outlets he has created (in collaboration with hospitality veteran Jeffrey Frederick), Feinstein says the El Dorado Express holds special meaning. “That’s my baby. That concept has really taken off,” he says of the original restaurant adjacent to Sapphire Las Vegas Gentleman’s Club, a favorite among the industry crowd and local Mexican food fans. “It’s kind of a cult favorite. We’re going to be expanding it to other markets as well.” –Brock Radke

he next-generation steakhouse has arrived. Brothers David and Michael Morton have opened MB Steak at the Hard Rock Hotel, a two-level, 7,800-square-foot luxury steakhouse with features including a private bar room, an intimate 60-person private dining room and an upstairs garden bar and lounge boasting views of the Las Vegas Strip. Signature steaks include a 16-ounce bone-in filet, a dry-aged bone-in New York strip, braised and pepper-crusted bone-in beef shortrib and a 32-ounce double porterhouse sliced for two.
Wagyu beef from the U.S., Australia and Japan is also available for those looking for the utmost experience, complemented by classic steakhouse sides like creamed spinach with truffle gouda and poached egg and grilled asparagus with crispy garlic. Other eye-catching appetizers and entrées on MB Steak’s opening menu— created by executive chef Patrick Munster—include charred Spanish octopus, surf and turf tartare, fennel-crusted salmon and the namesake burger, topped with hand-cut applewood smoked bacon and butterkase cheese.
Following in the footsteps of their father, legendary restaurateur Arnie Morton, the brothers are aiming to create the next great American classic. You be the judge.

ew chefs can take credit for jump-starting Las Vegas’ culinary scene the way Wolfgang Puck can. Since opening the original Spago on the Sunset Strip in 1982 (now located in Beverly Hills)—and bringing it to the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in 1992—the celebrated chef has expanded and evolved to his massive fine/casual dining empire.

To experience that ongoing reinvention firsthand, look no further than Spago’s Sunday brunch, reintroduced in April and featuring a menu loaded with imaginative twists on morning favorites like monkey bread—soft, pull-apart morsels of cinnamon and caramel brioche with a light drizzle of cream-cheese icing. Move on to fresh selections from the raw bar such as jumbo shrimp cocktail or oysters on the half shell before diving into breakfast options like the Spago Benedict. Golden-brown potato latkes replace the standard English muffin, then Puck further elevates the classic with bright and tender smoked salmon, poached eggs and a tangy, velvety Meyer lemon béarnaise. The
P u c k ’ s

d a y
crispy berries and cream waffle is a lighter take on heavier breakfast fare. Topped with huckleberry compote and vanilla chantilly cream, this refreshing version allows for maximum Bloody Mary consumption. Tableside service means you’re going to want to order two. If breakfast isn’t your speed, the grilled prime beef burger ought to hit that hangover sweet spot, and Spago’s signature pizzas—like the roasted mushroom with sweet garlic, provolone cheese, cipollini onions and taleggio—never disappoint. Twenty-five years after Puck’s Las Vegas arrival, Spago’s stacked brunch menu is just one more reason to return. Spago at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, 702-3696300; Sunday-Thursday 11:30 a.m.11 p.m., Friday & Saturday 11:30 a.m.-midnight. –Leslie Ventura
