This year, as the younger Fernández takes the stage at T-Mobile Arena, he has notched another musical milestone. His February release, Rompiendo Fronteras, became his sixth No. 1 on the Billboard Latin Albums chart, tying him with his father. Rompiendo Fronteras has been called Fernández’s most radical album, blending rancheras with reggaeton and even dabbling in traditional sierreño. while

Alejandro Fernández might be the king of Mexican Independence Day weekend in Las Vegas— the iconic pop star has been a cornerstone of one of the biggest holidays of the year for at least a decade.

still honoring his pop past. The dance anthem “Se Que Te Duele” finds him joining forces with Colombian group Morat, while lead single “Quiero Que Vuelvas” finds the 46-year-old singer’s silky voice in more familiar form on an upbeat, guitar-heavy ballad. Those are just two of the hits and song styles Fernández could incorporate into his annual Vegas mega-show Friday night, where he typically divides the concert evenly between traditional and contemporary material. To say his fans appreciate both sides would be an understatement. Alejandro Fernández at T-Mobile Arena, September 15.

lock to Drai’s Beach Club on Sunday, Dirtybirdies, because your leader Claude VonStroke is flying in for another set full of funky, techy, bass-y beats. The Dirtybird Records label boss (aka Barclay Crenshaw) will project poolside positivity at one of the last flings of summer. Your label has become like a family of fans. To what do you attribute the camaraderie? We’re definitely very community-based, and there’s a lot of groups of friends that come to all of the shows that we play. People at festivals see other people dressed in Dirtybird clothes, and they go and talk to them— it’s a thing now. I didn’t know it would
happen like this, but it’s fascinating and awesome. People just link up because they’re all fans, and that’s cool. Do you think it has to do with the style of music or the Dirtybird DJs’ willingness to get out from behind the booth and interact with fans? It even goes to our [Dirtybird Campout] festival where we play all the games with the fans and we are out on the dancefloor. I think it comes from the artists. It’s not just the music. I think it’s just the way we are. If people meet you on the dancefloor, should they call you Claude or Barclay? [Laughing] It depends on if they’re at a Claude or Barclay show! I answer to both.
What’s coming up for you on the music front? I have this really cool remix on Jesse Rose’s label coming out of “Believe,” then I’m doing a track with Bruno Furlan right now. We’re gonna have some more Get Real music, and I’m working on other stuff, too, nonstop—Barclay Crenshaw music. Claude VonStroke at Drai’s Beachclub, September 17. –Deanna Rilling

he champ is back. Mike Tyson recently debuted a new version of his one-man stage show, Undisputed Truth: Round 2, at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, sharing new stories from his life beyond the ring. Iron Mike has kept busy with his new podcast, Bite the Mic, and the continuing cartoon saga Mike Tyson Mysteries, but he revealed new projects when we caught up with him recently. What was it like getting back on the stage? It felt good, a little different telling these stories. It’s all new, so I was just happy that it turned out all right for the first time. It’s completely different, and we’re still tweaking it since it’s so new, trying to get it perfected. How do you like performing at the comedy club versus other larger venues where you’ve done Undisputed Truth?
I feel real comfortable being up there. Normally it’s big stadiums and big stages, so it’s awesome that this is so intimate. On the big stage I’m running around a lot across the stage, wearing me out. How did you choose which stories to include? There are ones that you might not think are interesting until you hear it. It’s a bunch of funny stuff in this show, more humor. I talk about the fight I was supposed to promote with Chris Brown and Soulja Boy, and they thought that was pretty funny. Have you ever thought about promoting real boxing? Not my style. Boxing’s in the past. Do you think the Mayweather-McGregor fight was good for the sport? It

was a good fight. I don’t know what it will do for boxing, but the fight was good. No one thought McGregor was going to fight that well; we thought it was going to be over real quick. Boxing comes and goes. Sometimes it’s popular, sometimes it’s not, depending on the champions and the controversies. What else do you have coming up? We’ve got the podcast and Mike Tyson’s Mysteries, and I’ve got a movie we’re going to do in China, and then Jamie Foxx is going to portray me in a new movie. We’ve been working on that a long time and finally got it [going]. Mike Tyson Undisputed Truth: Round 2 at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand, Thursday-Sunday through November 20. –Brock Radke

In this weekly series, we spotlight the performers and other participants who will combine for November’s Emerge Music + Impact Conference in Las Vegas.
COURTESY
outhside Chicago hiphop artist Sir the Baptist grew up playing piano and drums and singing in his father’s church choir, then graduated to writing commercial jingles as a teenager, which probably pushed him toward his next pursuit, advertising. As director of digital marketing for the Leo Burnett Agency, Sir worked on major brand campaigns and alongside music industry figures like producer Rodney Jerkins, until at age 26 he decided to get out of the business and into music full-time. He briefly supported the later career by driving for Lyft. “Raise Hell,” his first single, was nominated as Impact Track of the Year at the 2016 BET Awards, bolstered by its appearance on the soundtrack for Birth of a Nation. Sir played Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, Voodoo Fest and Lollapalooza last year and performed “Raise Hell” on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
A R T I S T
He signed with Atlantic Records last spring and in May released debut album Saint or Sinner, hailed as a blend of gospel and hip-hop with inflections of doo-wop, jazz, reggae and soul. His savvy approach to brand-building and his ability to blend disparate influences might make Sir the Baptist the quintessential artist to represent the spirit of the Emerge Music + Impact Conference, at which he’ll perform in Las Vegas in November. Sir seemed destined for big musical things from the beginning, and Emerge will see him take his next big steps.
Emerge Music + Impact Conference on the Las Vegas Strip, November 16-18. Tickets available now at emergelv.com.

hen stylist Tzigane Libson opened Layla in March, she knew she wanted to go above and beyond the average hair salon. To create a space that was more than just cuts and foils, Libson focused on community—making people look and feel beautiful while inspiring her stylists through education. Thus, the social salon concept was born. “I think there’s a stigma sometimes that goes with salons or hair stylists, so I wanted something that changed that,” Libson says.

In addition to Layla’s treatment menu, the salon offers complimentary yoga classes every month, there’s a speed-dating event coming up in November and customers can join a salon book club that meets every three months. “A social salon is your everything salon,” Libson says. “It’s a lifestyle.” The Zimbabwe-born hair stylist got her first pair of scissors a decade ago, but it was her role as the assistant manager at Downtown’s Globe Salon that got her interested in running her own business. “Those two years I spent with James [Reza] and Staci [Linklater], they really carved the way for how I was going to go about my career,” Libson says. Since then, she’s become a Paul Mitchell national educator, and she’s built Layla (also her middle name) from the ground up. Libson still gets behind the chair three times a week, but she’s now focused on running the business and teaching her team the latest cutting-edge techniques. “When I get excited about hair, it’s education,” Libson says. “I love all the trends, I love the ombre, I love the unicorn hair. But my favorite part about it is being able to see it, learn it—then teach it and share it.” Layla: A Social Salon, 7865 W. Sahara Ave., 702336-6886. –Leslie Ventura

osé Andrés’ Jaleo is known for being colorful, wildly creative and deliciously experimental. The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas restaurant might not be known as the home of a terrific deal, but that’s exactly what the Lunch Like a Spaniard midday menu offers.

For $25, you get to choose your own culinary adventure by selecting three courses from different groups of adventurous tapas. Maybe start with classic chilled gazpacho, refreshing apple and fennel salad with Manchego cheese and walnuts, or mixed greens with pine nuts, fried capers, anchovies and romesco-garlic dressing.
Things get serious in round two, where rich chicken croquetas, deepfried salted cod with honey aioli, and the spicy potato-covered favorite patatas bravas await. Pro tip: Go for the mini pepito de Iberico, a Spanishstyle slider that features the legendary Iberico pig in two ways: a juicy mini patty and crisp bacon. It’s a few small, sumptuous bites you’ll never forget. Hopefully you’ve saved room for the final course, which ranges from garlicky gambas al ajillo to grilled Catalan pork sausage to salmon with pisto Manchego to grilled hanger steak with escabeche.
No matter their size, these dishes explode with big flavors, exactly what you’d expect at a José Andrés restaurant. And since you’ve just taken advantage of one of the best lunch deals on the Strip, maybe you’ll come back for dinner. Jaleo at the Cosmopolitan, 702-698-7950; lunch daily noon-4 p.m. –Brock Radke

he 23rd-floor Mandarin Bar has become one of the iconic lounge spaces on the Las Vegas Strip, a sophisticated yet fabulous stop whether you’re in town for the weekend and on your way to a show or a local looking to entertain in a memorable way. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer dramatic views of the Strip, while the serene setting and luxurious environment quietly exudes a style that separates this venue from the rest of the pack. And did you know about the Edge? The private space fits up to 30 people and is one of the most sought-after spots for intimate parties and special events.
Less of a secret are the fresh, original craft cocktails that splash brightness all over the Mandarin Bar experience. The Golden Leaf, aka Mandarin Martini, muddles oranges with fresh pineapple and lime juices, Hendricks gin, Aperol and simple syrup. The Golden Knights, a tribute to Las Vegas’ new NHL team playing nearby at T-Mobile Arena, is made with Toki Suntory whiskey, Sip Smith gin, Yellow Chartreuse and ginger syrup. But without question the drink to get right now is the Southern Punch, with toasted pecan-infused whiskey, white rum, mandarin, lime, passion fruit and basil syrup. Fifty percent of the

hen you watch a spectacle like O at Bellagio, you’re not going to catch every detail. There’s simply too much going on. No one knows that better than the show’s artistic director, Ria Martens.
she is; that’s the only way to create all those wows. “To me it’s all about the growth of the artist, the team being together and moving in one direction,” she says. “I need to push and be engaged and give that fire to everybody, because you’ll see it onstage.”
“I’ve been here now for eight months, and I watch the whole show a few times a week,” she says. “There are still so many times when I just think, wow. It’s amazing that almost 20 years ago they thought of these transitions and the lighting and the water, and it’s all just so beautiful. What I like to do with the artists when I can is rotate them out so they can see, because it’s so different for them to be in there and then [step out] and be able to see it all. They’re so proud. And that’s what you need.”
Born in Belgium, Martens has been with Cirque du Soleil for 20 years and in Las Vegas since 2004. She began her career in the arts under legendary jazz dance educator Lynn Simonson and spent many years trekking the world as a teacher herself. She first began working for Cirque on its touring production Alegría, which kept her traveling for seven more years.
It’s Martens’ job to keep O’s artists and crew just as driven and passionate as
By the time she landed in Las Vegas, she was ready to “put away the suitcase” and dig into a permanent resident production. She has moved around, from Mystère to Zumanity to helping create

Criss Angel: Believe, then back to Zumanity for a refresh and finally, this year, to O. The varying content and collaboration keeps things new, and working with so many different people from different parts of the world is probably her favorite element of the job. “It’s a challenge to stay fresh and not go on automatic, but part of my job is to make sure that doesn’t happen. You have to change little things so everyone pays attention and keeps learning. There are so many amazing [artists], and without them I would get bored. It’s really fun.” –Brock Radke
