inally, hometown rock heroes Imagine Dragons will headline a proper arena concert in Las Vegas. The band’s 31-stop Evolve World Tour launched earlier this week at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix and touches down at T-Mobile Arena Friday night.

It won’t be its first time there, though.

Frontman Dan Reynolds sang with The Killers on T-Mobile’s opening night in April 2016, and the entire band performed an explosive version of “Believer” at the Billboard Music Awards there in May. Reynolds says the group can’t wait to play its stage again.

“We’re really excited, and it’s such a beautiful venue. We’ve enjoyed those [past] experiences there,” he says. “The Vegas shows are always the most special, to have family and friends come out, and this time will be extra special because of those fans who have been with us since the very beginning and watched us play at Beauty Bar and the Bunkhouse [years ago]. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Vegas fans.”

Reynolds says the band is particularly amped for this tour because its charttopping third studio album (released in June) provides an extra layer of material that pushes the Dragons live show to the next level.

“It feels so good to finally have a real catalog to comb through on the road,” he says. “This is the first time we have dozens of songs to pick from, and we plan on changing it up every night to keep it interesting and exciting.”

s Las Vegas entertainment has evolved to include more different live music offerings, the sustainability of the modern festival experience in Sin City has occasionally been called into question. Can a multi-day music fest survive and thrive in this unique entertainment landscape?

Consider the Route 91 Harvest Festival, the pop-country phenomenon returning to the Strip for its fourthannual event this weekend. It’s a true Vegas success story, an event that seemed to arrive out of nowhere at a former empty lot across from Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Country music

fans were used to tripping to Vegas in the winter during the rodeo, not in the fall, and yet the festival sold out in its second year, bringing in 25,000 fans. Last year the Las Vegas Village hosted superstars like Luke Bryan and Brad Paisley, and this year’s lineup is anchored by Eric Church, Sam Hunt, Jason Aldean, Jake Owen, Maren Morris, the Brothers Osborne, Lee Brice, Kane Brown, Lauren Alaina and more—including many of the top rising young voices in country music.

Thanks to the MGM Resorts entertainment team and its sponsors and partners, Las Vegas has another big party weekend bringing in visitors

from all over the world, and another music festival to add to the growing, diversifying entertainment foundation. Sounds like surviving and thriving. Route 91 Harvest Festival at Las Vegas Village, September 29-October 1.

auren Ruth Ward beams with creativity and confidence.

Her voice is smoky, raspy and delivered with sarcastic wit.

Her style? Equal parts Grace Slick and Marc Bolan, a formula coveted by every vintage-loving girl in LA.

some, you’re lying to yourself,” Ward sings on “Make Love to Myself,” a tough-as-nails track off her upcoming full-length debut Well, Hell. But that song shows just one side to the multifaceted singer, whose music covers a breadth of emotions and styles.

Raised in Baltimore but living in LA, Ward has been compared vocally to Courtney Barnett and Janis Joplin, and while those two singers might seem drastically different, it all somehow makes sense. Combine Ward’s rock ’n’ roll prowess with her pop sensibility and you’ve got a singer who could give Florence Welch a run for her money.

“I was a classic-rock kid listening to what my parents listened to,” she says of her influences. When she was 16, Ward’s stepmother gave the singer her vinyl collection, and she’s been drawn to rock ’n’ roll ever since. “I’ve always been emotional and drawn to the guitar since I was a kid,” she adds. “I would just sing about my life and my thoughts.”

“Buddy, I don’t need you, I can make love to myself/If you think I’m lone-

You can hear her ruminate on topics like family, anxiety and love when she

performs at the Emerge Impact + Music Conference in November.

“I love Vegas,” Ward says fondly, reminiscing about the last time she visited.

“We’re more than excited [to return], because it’s a super-legit show. It’s going to be a diary entry kind of night.”

ountry music is in our minds and ears this week in Las Vegas as the annual three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival returns to the Strip, but there’s much more on the way. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and iHeartRadio recently announced the Boots on the Boulevard concert series coming to the Chelsea during Wrangler National Finals Rodeo week in December.

CMA Triple Play Award winner Cole Swindell will kick things off with a show on December 8, followed by Tennessee’s “Small Town Boy” Dustin Lynch on December 10. The legendary Dwight Yoakam takes the Chelsea stage on December 13, bringing his classic material from more than 21 albums and compilations.

h i t s B o o t s

t h e o n

B o u l e v a r d

Wrapping up Boots on the Boulevard is none other than 14-time Grammy nominee Dierks Bentley, who plays two shows for the big rodeo weekend on December 15 and 16.

The Cosmopolitan is an official hotel sponsor of WNFR and will also host live viewing parties at the CG Technology Race & Sports Book all week long. For more information on special events and the concert series, visit cosmopolitanlasvegas.com.

rejuvenating facial and a therapeutic massage can do wonders for the mind and body, which is the primary goal of the experts at Sothys Spa inside the Lucky Dragon.

Founded in 1946 as a beauty institute in Paris, Sothys has delivered professional skin and body care to women and men across the globe for decades. Named after the ancient Egyptian word for the brightest star in the sky (Sothis, or Sopdet, was known for her radiating beauty), the spa offers an intimate and luxurious setting for all of your relaxation needs.

Start with a calming foot-soak ritual before moving on to a more targeted treatment. Tight and aching muscles are often a symptom of stress, but Sothys’ deep-tissue massage can loosen up knots and ease soreness, bringing vitality and movement back to tired, overworked limbs.

Skin looking parched and dehydrated from the dry desert heat? Look no further than the Siberian ginseng energizing treatment. On the day of your facial, an aesthetician will provide a skin consultation before determining which products are best for your skin. Ginseng, it turns out, is a wonder ingredient that optimizes the skin’s resistance to

stress, while a gentle, relaxing facial massage boosts blood flow, giving way to a brighter, more youthful complexion.

Lucky Dragon is known for its friendly and hospitable staff, and Sothys Spa continues that standard of excellence.

No matter your skin concerns, Sothys can help you look and feel your best.

From the moment you step into the lobby, you’ll know you’re in good hands.

Sothys Spa at Lucky Dragon, 702-5791277; Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-7 p.m, Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

t’s standard procedure. The show is over, and now you can’t escape the enticing smell of bacon-wrapped hot dogs cooking on a cart at the corner.

Forget late-night dinner plans—nothing stands a chance against one of those bad boys.

Such is the idea behind Dirt Dog, the LA transplant that set up shop in Las Vegas on South Rainbow Boulevard last summer.

Known for its bacon-wrapped franks, Dirt Dog recently opened a second, smaller location inside the Grand Bazaar Shops at Bally’s. If the walk-up stand doesn’t evoke post-show nostalgia, the dogs definitely will.

Before you do anything, make sure you order the Dirty Corn. A take on Mexican elote, this sweet cob is slathered in crema, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro and bacon bits. If you don’t plan on talking to anyone for a while, get the garlic fries with house-made garlic oil, garlic seasoning and fried garlic bits. Or perhaps you’re a chili guy. In that case, the dirty chili fries with melted bacon cheddar are the way to go.

You’ll have a harder time deciding which hot dog to crush, but consider moving beyond the Red Dog (spicy tomato chile, chipotle aioli) and Green Dog (chimichurri sauce, guacamole spread) for the Mutt Dog, a super-spicy and delicious combination of the two. Not a fan of fire? The Patty Melt Dog, loaded with cheddar cheese, French fries and chipotle aioli, is an instant classic.

Just in case that wasn’t indulgent enough, add an order of deep-fried Oreos for a dirty, overthe-top dessert. You won’t regret a single bite.

Dirt Dog at the Grand Bazaar Shops at Bally’s, 702-586-9300; Monday-Wednesday 10 a.m.midnight, Thursday-Wednesday 10 a.m.-2 a.m.

hey say Las Vegas doesn’t have four seasons. So how do you know when summer has turned to fall? Pay attention to the menus.

The finest restaurants shift to new, seasonal ingredients no matter what the weather app shows, and the same can be said for Vegas’ top cocktail shops— including the experimental, always stunning Rx Boiler Room.

So what’s on tap for October in this upstairs laboratory of food and drink, the sister establishment of Rick Moonen’s RM Seafood? It’s called the Poire Dakkar, and it’ll make your fall fantastic. Comandon VS cognac, aged between four and eight years in oak casks for a smooth, elegant, vanilla-honey finish, is mixed with the Boiler Room’s house-made chai-honey apple-

lemon sour, a lightly fruity and sweet kiss for this complex spirit.

A dash of baked apple bitters and a float of ginger beer finish it off with autumn tones that’ll make you forget all about pumpkin spice everything.

In Las Vegas, you can celebrate the season whenever and however you choose, sometimes with just one sip. Rx Boiler Room at the Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702632-7200; daily 5-11 p.m.

s Bryan Forgione recounts a tale about how he nearly got into alligator wrestling, one thing is clear: Whether he would be able to dominate the reptile or end up getting chomped, Forgione would keep his cool.

The level-headed chef, 36, is all about work/life balance these days. That’s not the easiest thing for any chef, but Forgione has the added pressure of coming from a legendary culinary family. His father, Larry, has had such an influence on the culinary landscape that he’s often called the godfather of American cuisine. His older brother Marc is currently an Iron Chef.

Bryan Forgione came to Vegas to pursue his love of barbecue with the goal of opening his own joint for smoked meats. But as the economy crashed, he took a gig under chef Kim Canteenwalla at Society Cafe.

Canteenwalla and his wife, Elizabeth Blau, operate Buddy V’s Ristorante, where Forgione is the chef.

Dishes like Buddy’s Caprese take that extra step.

Rosso Bruno tomatoes are the base, followed by a layer of burrata cheese. Then there’s tomato confit made from teardrop and cherry tomatoes, which are deep fried in extra virgin olive oil and marinated in garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest and even more olive oil. A balsamic reduction and fresh basil finish things off. “You got the sweetness, the acidity, the saltiness and a touch of bitterness,” Forgione says. “We like to hit all the different flavors in your mouth.”

It’s a dish, like the chef who presents it, that’s all about balance. –Jason Harris

F O R PHOTOGRAPH BY WADE VANDERVORT

Forgione feels a kinship to the cuisine of Cake Boss TV star Buddy Valastro. They both grew up in East Coast Italian families. That means Sunday dinners and pots of sauce simmering all day. He calls the menu’s Sunday gravy dish “the heart and soul of the restaurant.” Grandma’s meatballs, spicy Italian sausage, lamb neck and pork shoulder stew in a red sauce. It’s served with al dente rigatoni. “It’s food that makes you smile,” Forgione says.
