rothers Dimitri and Mike Thivaios, better known as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, have taken the world over, one track and one residency at a time.
10 and again at Encore Beach Club on June 15. “It’s always a fresh crowd and it’s always an interesting mix of people,” Mike told Industry Weekly during an interview at Intrigue.
The DJs—who recently remixed “Something Just Like This” by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay—just released “He’s a Pirate,” their collaboration with legendary film score composer Hans Zimmer for the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales soundtrack, and they’re currently gearing up for their Garden of Madness residency, presented by Tomorrowland at Ushuaïa Ibiza, starting in July.
Dimitri agrees: “People come here to party. We have a lot of new stuff to test, and it’s a great crowd to try out new stuff. I find the evolution in Las Vegas especially interesting. When we started out here, we used to have to DJ in between two hip-hop DJs, and people did not really understand electronic music. Now it’s really taken off, and it’s really charming.”
But first, the Wynn Nightlife residents will go ham in Las Vegas at XS on June
Speaking of DJing, the brothers say they “divide and conquer” their work in the studio to bring fans their dynamic and energetic shows. “It’s
sort of reinventing yourself,” Mike says. “Sixty-five percent of the set has become our own music, so each year we have to really invent those hits that people want to hear. We also incorporate what’s new and what people like, and then there’s making new intros, and I do a lot of vocals. All of that together usually makes a nice package.” Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike at XS at Encore, June 10; at Encore Beach Club, June 15. –Leslie Ventura

or Pete Kaufman, the foundation of hospitality in Las Vegas—the real Vegas, off the Strip and in the neighborhood—has always been about people. It’s about his staff, the folks that keep things moving at District Tavern Group venues Balboa Pizza, Whist Stove & Spirits and Due & Proper bar, and it’s definitely about their customers. Sometimes those are the same people.

“We’ve seen hostesses come in and work their way through college as servers, and now they’re doctors and they’re coming in,” Kaufman, a Las Vegas native, says. “It’s amazing what you see when you’re around for a decade. That’s the really cool side of what we do, because we are that local neighborhood thing. We’ve seen people grow up, and we’re the place for them.”

It helps that all three of those Green Valley hot spots are open around the clock. Locals working on the Strip love that 24-hour convenience, but they also recognize when there are other industry pros running the show. Kaufman worked in restaurants during college before he began his career as a dealer, working his way up the casino chain and “making a few wrong turns” that led him back into the restaurant world, he jokes.
While Balboa remains a casual favorite, Whist was remade in 2014—it opened in 2005 as Kennedy and rebranded as Presidio in 2010—to become “that social, dating, first-meet hot spot,” and neighboring Al’s Garage transformed into Due & Proper. “We’ve always focused on consistency but not just in food and drink. People come back because of people, not places,” Kaufman says. “You can get a Coors Light anywhere. We make great craft cocktails, but so do a lot of people. The difference is the people who work here, many of whom come from high-volume properties on the Strip and want to see people more than once or twice a year. They want to have that conversation across the bar and know they’ll see you again next week.” Don’t be surprised to see DTG expand further. “We’re always looking to see what’s out there, and Balboa is a concept made to be in multiple locations,” he says. “But it would have to be in the right place with the right people. We need to maintain the quality of what we do and the people that work with us, the most important part.” –Brock Radke

ecent and rare Vegas appearances by top comedy names like Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock might suggest there’s a comedy boom happening here. In reality, there’s a Vegas boom happening; the Strip has built enough top-tier venues to accommodate the biggest names in any genre of live entertainment. One of those rooms, the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, certainly wasn’t built for stand-up performances. But between its ideal environment and a diverse slate of bookings, it might be the most grand place for big laughs on the Strip. “I don’t think there was ever a conscious decision to do more comedy, but we want to do more [at the venue],” says Bobby Reynolds, senior VP of entertainment at AEG, the exclusive booker at the
Colosseum. “With the resident artists in there, it’s a crowded calendar, which is a great problem to have. It would be difficult to bring in a band, for example, during Celine Dion’s run, moving and loading up all that gear. A comedian typically requires a stool and a mic. So all of a sudden, we have another sold-out show on a Friday or a Sunday night, often with an iconic artist.” Jerry Seinfeld (June 17 and 18) is at the top of the Colosseum’s comedy roster, but the venue has added more icons this year with return performances by Steve Martin & Martin Short (July 23, August 25 and October 29). Strip stalwart Jeff Dunham is always in the mix, and rising comedy stars Jim Gaffigan and Sebastian Maniscalco—the latter set to make his Colosseum debut in October—bring more diversity to the fun at Caesars.
“Comedy has always been in demand,” Reynolds says. “Chappelle and Rock have been selling out venues for over a decade. With Steve Martin and Martin Short, a lot more thought went into booking that and creating a new model for that show, and it has a lot to do with the Colosseum [being] the classiest room in town. I’m biased, but as an entertainment venue, there’s just a wow factor when you walk into that place, and that’s the same whether you’re Elton John or Reba McEntire or Sebastian Maniscalco.” –Brock Radke

wenty-four-year-old Louisville-bred R&B upstart Bryson Tiller—who brings his headlining tour to the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in August—caught his growing fanbase off-guard in May when he dropped sophomore album True to Self a month early. The modern R&B landscape continues to bend and shift under the influence of hip-hop subgenres, and Tiller’s tremorcausing debut, Trapsoul, stood at the forefront in 2015, marked by the infectious, bass-heavy single “Don’t.” True to Self picks up where Tiller left off. “Don’t Get Too High” models the bumping groove that connects Tiller’s sound to the beloved R&B of the 1990s, before rolling seamlessly into the more sinister “Blowing Smoke,” on which Tiller proves he can rhyme with as much distinct style as he
i n t o s o u n d
can sing. He smooths it out with rippling downtempo track “You Got It,” dabbles in right-now party rap with “Self-made” and out-Drakes Drake with the addictive, Caribbean-inflected “Run Me Dry.” Old-school urban music fans might not appreciate the continued blurring of hip-hop and soul, but not everybody is doing it as well as Bryson Tiller. –Brock Radke

ocals know Station Casinos properties Green Valley Ranch Resort and Red Rock Resort are staycation hot spots, for convenience as much as for their beautiful, oasis-like swimming pools. And this summer, both resorts are amping up their daytime programming for the weekends and opening up those amenities to everyone. “We’ve always wanted to be a strong neighbor in our community, and we recognize our backyard area is very desirable, so we just felt like it was a good time to allow the locals to come back,” says Justin Moore, vice president and assistant general manager at Green Valley Ranch. “We put a lot into a new pool deck in the offseason, and it’s in great shape.” The “backyards” at Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock are now open to the public Monday through Friday beginning at 9 a.m., with entrance fees at $25 for adults 21 and over and $20 for those under 21 (accompanied by an adult). Non-hotel guests ready to have fun in the sun no longer need to reserve a cabana, although that feature is still available, too, as are new food and drink menus at both venues.
P O O L S
On weekends, adults can attend pool parties at each property starting at 11 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays, at the Pond at Green Valley Ranch and the all-new Cabana Club at Red Rock. Admission costs $30 for men and $20 for women. “We used to do events like these sporadically depending on holiday weekends, but we made the decision as a company to make sure Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock are doing consistent pool parties every weekend,” says Red Rock General Manager Bryan Lindsey. “At the end of the day, we know locals like to go down to the big pool parties a few times throughout the summer, but the Strip traffic can wear on you. We want to give those people, and industry people in general, something to do here, and that’s why we’ve got the DJs spinning all day Saturdays and Sundays and why we’ve given our culinary team some more room to create some really unique and tropical menus.” –Brock Radke

While that exciting dining lineup takes shape, MGM has announced another restaurant roster for a faraway property that’s equally dramatic.

he Foundation Room is well known as a nightlife institution in Las Vegas, the hotel tower-topping spot that offers a chilled-out vibe and environment you can’t find at any other club. Often forgotten, however, is the adjoining restaurant, which offers a similarly relaxing scene, exhilarating views from a lovely outdoor space and refined and sumptuous cuisine. Considering your location, you’ll be tempted to start your meal with a tower of chilled shellfish, and that’s a great idea. But don’t miss the signature appetizer of crispy duck confit with candied
turnips, sweet cipollini onions and pomegranate molasses reduction. The bright flavors on the plate perfectly complement the tender, rich meat, resulting in a true jewel of a dish. The fennel-crusted, slowroasted pork belly with buttermilk grits starter could also satisfy as an entrée. Lighten up with some seafood as your main attraction, like sea bass with the innovative veggie combo of sea beans and broccoli rabe, or panseared diver scallops with butternut squash salad and lobster and pancetta relish. Just be sure to save room for dessert, where you’ll have to choose between the daily rotation
of warm cookies and ice cream or indulgent Calvados apple bread pudding with bourbon vanilla gelato and pecan caramel. Why haven’t you been eating here all along? Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay, 702-632-7601; Sunday-Thursday 6-10 p.m., Friday & Saturday 6-11 p.m. –Brock Radke

Following a sold-out debut performance at Drai’s Nightclub during Memorial Day Weekend, Wiz Khalifa is the latest chart-topper to announce his exclusive 2017 Drai’s Live residency. He’ll be back onstage atop the Cromwell on July 1. ... In other Drai’s news, the nightlife company has partnered with Las Vegas nonprofits Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada, Arturo Cambeiro Elementary School, Shade Tree and Friends of Las Vegas Metro Police Department Foundation for a community outreach initiative throughout 2017. The employees and patrons of Drai’s Beachclub, Nightclub and Afterhours will band together to provide meaningful services and opportunities to those in the Vegas Valley who need it most. ... Another legendary performer has jumped from Venetian/Palazzo to Wynn/Encore. Diana Ross completed a run of shows at Venetian (just like John Fogerty) and will now perform at Wynn October 11-28. ... Zuma bar man Seongha Lee was recently chosen as the regional winner of the 11th Annual Las Vegas Most Imaginative Bartender Competition presented by Bombay Sapphire gin. This summer, Lee and other top mixologists from across the country will travel to England to compete for the ultimate title.
