he place to be for underground music aficionados this Halloween is XS, grooving with Jamie Jones. The Welsh DJ/producer will get deep and tech-y at the Encore nightclub on Tuesday, as he brings his infamous Paradise party to Las Vegas for a ghoulishly great night of music.

For Paradise, will you be crafting a Halloween-inspired set and working in any spooky tracks? Yes, for my Halloween sets I always try and work in some Halloween-inspired tunes. I always drop a horror movie theme tune or a sound clip from a movie—something like that.

E l e a n o r St i l l / c o u r t e s y

T I M E

Any chance you’ll get into the spirit of the holiday and rock a costume?

I always try and wear costumes for Halloween. Last year I went as Eddie Murphy from Coming to America, which was kind of cool. I used to dress up as Michael Jackson a lot when I was a kid back in the U.K.— especially in the ’80s, no one wore anything other than scary costumes for Halloween—but I remember dressing up as Michael Jackson from Bad for carnivals and stuff.

H a l l o w e e n

Describe the Paradise brand for those not in the know. The aim of Paradise as a brand is always to bring together edgy, forwardthinking underground music but never forgetting that we’re there to have a good time and doing it with colorful flair. But most importantly, the Paradise crew are like one big family, and I think you feel that vibe at the parties.

Your latest EP on your Hot Creations label is called Kooky Music.

Where did that name come from?

I wasn’t sure what the A side was on this EP. One track was called “Sound of Music,” because it was a cover, and the other track was called “Kooky Chords,” because the chord break sounds a little quirky. I decided to name the EP a combination of the two bigger tracks on there: Kooky Music. Paradise Halloween with Jamie Jones at XS at Encore, October 31. –Deanna Rilling

hawn Carter made some serious history this year. In June, the iconic Brooklyn MC became the first hip-hop artist in history to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Of course, he had to miss the ceremony to be with Beyoncé, who was giving birth to the superstar couple’s twins.

The recognition is significant, but it’s also one honor in a long list for Jay-Z. More important to the rapper’s legacy is what happened later in June; he released 4:44, his 13th solo album and sixth prominent work since he “retired” with 2003’s The Black Album. The concept of the late-career gem doesn’t really exist in hip-hop. It’s still a relatively young musical genre, and therefore remains focused on younger artists who are approaching or operating in their prime. At 47 and well into the mogul stage of his career, Jay-Z has proven that not only can he continue creating relevant and resonant music, he’s capable of artistic growth.

o f

h i p - h o p ,

a l o n e

4:44 is the evidence, deserving footing alongside classic Jay-Z albums like Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint. Easily his most personal and vulnerable album, it blows away all hip-hop clichés, trading in the rapper’s iconic bravado for mature introspection. He’s still laser-precise with his lyrics and delivery, but now he’s his own target. Chicago producer No I.D. crafted a vintage, soulful sound for all 10 tracks, a perfect canvas for the sophisticated lyricist.

It’s appropriate Jay-Z stands alone as a rapper in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, because his body of work is a similarly solitary monument—one he continues to sculpt. Jay-Z at T-Mobile Arena, October 28. –Brock Radke

A-based dream-pop trio LANY—Paul Klein, Jake Goss and Les Priest—spotlights the way people find their favorite new music today. When the band posted its first songs online about three years ago, it quickly garnered attention from fans and labels, forcing LANY back to the studio immediately.

“Initially it was overwhelming and exciting. We had all worked on music on our own, but for me nothing was happening, I couldn’t get a single person to listen,” says Klein, the lead vocalist who also plays guitar and keyboard.

“Then we get together and put our songs on the Internet, and less than a week later we’re getting emails from record labels. We realized we needed to make more songs.”

LANY followed that initial breakthrough with the Acronyms EP, featuring hit “ILYSB,” toured steadily and then released the full-length LANY this year. Single “Super Far,” co-written with Ryan Tedder, is currently climbing the charts.

“Ryan is actually from my hometown [in Oklahoma], so I grew up knowing he was in OneRepublic and always thought he was really cool,” Klein says. “We met in 2015, and he came to our show in New York and expressed interest right away in working with us. He’s such a master of melody.”

The ’80s vibes are strong on the synthheavy “Super Far.” “People say that a lot about our songs, and I’m not sure where it comes from,” he says. “We don’t have a billion keyboards to pick from, just a few

synthizers we use, so maybe those are the sounds we gravitate to. We’re really big on instinct.”

Each member of the group has different influences, but when LANY comes together, it’s not about creating something catchier or poppier than the last song or trying to fit a certain style of sound. “Every single song plays an important role in who we are as a band.

We know there are some fan favorites, but we also understand the importance of writing really good songs, even if they’re not obvious favorites,” Klein says. LANY at Vinyl at the Hard Rock Hotel, November 1. –Brock Radke

ne of the country’s most legendary Halloween parties is back for its 22ndannual edition, but this year the Fetish & Fantasy ball is moving west to Red Rock Resort.

The party that has traditionally been headquartered at the Hard Rock Hotel is getting a little more lux this year with the move to Summerlin, but there’s no toning it down. All the exotic, naughty-and-nice costumes

remain—it’s dress-code mandatory, after all—along with the expo row featuring all the latex, leather, lotions and potions you could desire.

You can also expect the human petting zoo, clowns, stiltwalkers, freaks and fetish performers that make the event so unique, plus music from Darude, Plastik Funk, Scooter & Lavelle, DJ R.O.B. and DJ Twin.

Halloween in Las Vegas wouldn’t be the same without F&F. For tickets

and more information, visit fetishandfantasyhalloweenball.com. Fetish & Fantasy Halloween Ball at Red Rock Resort, October 28.

rom its very beginnings in December 2010, the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has established itself with edgy entertainment offerings, setting a standard for cool on the Strip. Comedy has been a piece of that puzzle, with big names like Amy Schumer, Kevin Hart, Chelsea Handler and Dave Chappelle performing there.

Now Cosmo has its first comedy resident: film star and Saturday Night Live alum Adam Sandler, who plays his first show at the Chelsea on November 10. “What’s great about it is that he’s here because he wants to be here,” says Fedor Banuchi, the Cosmopolitan’s vice president of entertainment. “Obviously he could spend his time doing something more lucrative, but this is something he wants to do creatively. He’s passionate about it, and we’re positive that will trickle down into the show.”

Sandler, who has garnered critical acclaim for his performance in the new Noah Baumbach Netflix film The Meyerowitz Stories, isn’t full-on touring but has played a few stand-up gigs lately. Banuchi says Sandler decided he wanted to do more Vegas dates and began hunting for the perfect venue. “He was very involved in the process, coming down to do a tour of every venue he was looking at, and that’s rare in the entertainment

industry,” he says. “He spent a lot of time on the stage and around [the Chelsea] to get a feeling for the room. He said, ‘This is a great comedy room; I feel it.’”

Sandler’s deal with Cosmo is flexible, Banuchi says, with three shows currently scheduled and the potential to add more throughout 2018.

“Our entertainment strategy from the time we opened was to present to the public what we thought was contemporary entertainment that, at that time, Vegas wasn’t giving them,” Banuchi says. “Since that time we’ve had more competition—other venues have opened and people are booking more live music—but as far as we’re concerned, nothing has changed. ... We take pride in the fact that if you look at all the music and things we’ve booked since day one and put everything on an iPod and put it on shuffle, most people would recognize that’s a pretty cool playlist.” Adam Sandler at the Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan, November 10 & 17 and January 27. –Brock Radke

oday he owns hundreds if not thousands of pairs of shoes all over his Las Vegas home, but for hip-hop DJ Franzen, it all started with black cement Air Jordan 3s.

“My first pair of Jordans, I didn’t get until the year after they came out. They were on sale, two for $45 at Copeland’s,” he says. “But the Jordan 3s, my dad couldn’t buy them for me.

I never got them back then. But when I knew what I wanted to do and got my internship at a radio station in the Bay Area, I knew that first check was going to buy shoes. Some kids [dream] about a fast car or a big mansion, but for me it was shoes.”

Considering the constant collisions between sneaker culture and the hip-hop world, it’s no surprise shoes are a big deal for Franzen. But his collection—heavy on Jordans but also including everything from Yeezys to Vans to Chucks—is functional. He wears most of them and gives plenty of pairs away. “If I’m not going to wear them anymore, why hoard them?” he says. “[But] if they mean something to me, I’m not getting rid of them. I’ve been fortunate to have relationships in the industry, so they sometimes send me promo pairs, which is on

another level of value. People would pay more for those.”

But Franzen doesn’t get caught up in the lucrative hype of the sneaker game. He’s still in it for the love. He made up for missing out on those Jordan 3s—now he has 10 pairs. “I think 2011 was the last time they came out, and I made sure to call everybody and say hold my size.”

He’s got four brand-new pairs of those black cements, but there are other rare classics in his collection like the Roc-AFella Air Force Ones he got direct from Nike. “I was wearing those the day I got them, and Biggs [Kareem Burke] saw me rocking them and didn’t know who I was, so he was asking Jay-Z, ‘How’d he get those? I don’t even have those!’ The owner of the label didn’t have a pair.”

His most recent addition: the DJ Khaled Air Jordan 3 Grateful shoes, a gift from Khaled. “Those are on [sneaker marketplace] Flight Club right now for $25,000,” Franzen says. “Those were family and friends only, 100 pairs made, a lot of hype on them. I haven’t worn them yet.” –Brock Radke

nown for its fully immersive, state-of-the-art lighting and visuals—and especially its thunderous sound system— Temple Nightclub in San Francisco has proven to be a singular spectacle in Bay Area nightlife. Now, during Halloween weekend, Denver gets its own version of Temple.

The roughly 17,000-square-foot new venue opens October 27 in downtown’s Golden Triangle neighborhood. It’s similar to San Francisco’s in that the company is taking over the entire building and duplicating its template of complementary businesses there, like a coworking space, a café and an art gallery. But potentially more exciting is the actual design and sound of the club, which promise to up the ante in Denver.

“The design esthetics ... may not be mirroring but are definitely inspired by San Francisco,” says Bob Shindelar, who acts as Temple’s chief marketing officer while running his own consulting company.

“Instead of how standard nightclub operators these days put some sort of giant, hi-res LED panels by or behind the DJ booth, we’ll have the whole room function as one organism.”

Shindelar says Denver boasts the most educated music scene he’s ever known, which will help flavor the soundtrack.

No matter the genre, everything is going to sound great blasted through a customized Funktion One sound system.

“I think they like stuff that’s a little more underground than the giant commercial markets like Las Vegas or Miami,” he says. “Denver is also known as a bass

capital, really heavy on dubstep, so we’ll figure out a proper balance.”

Shindelar grew up and started his career in Las Vegas, and he has noticed the differences and similarities between the two cities as Temple Denver continues to build buzz. “Like Vegas, Denver is growing up, but the last real big room nightclub in Denver is nine years old. There’s a giant segment that’s been neglected.”

iners who have found their way to the Lucky Dragon Hotel & Casino just west of the Strip have gotten caught up in the rapture of the delicious dim sum offerings from Pearl Ocean. But the fine dining Chinese restaurant at the new property is just as accessible and exceptional, and now is a great time to try Phoenix for the first time, thanks to an updated menu.

Phoenix is moving away from the traditional family-style service you’ll recognize from many Chinese restaurants, to focus on a more upscale experience fitting its sophisticated setting. As you’ll see and taste, the adjustment also allows

for extended creativity. Appetizers and side-dish options now include garlicmiso eggplant, beef carpaccio, savory duck lettuce wraps, basil crab cakes and a meaty combo plate of espresso-rubbed ribs and lemon zest chicken wings. The exalted luxury seafood item abalone is highlighted with a dish featuring Australian green lip abalone served five ways.

House specials include kimchi fried rice; rich oxtail or filet mignon pho noodle soup; a dim sum tasting platter complete with barbecue pork buns, shu mai, har gow, XO shrimp dumplings and pea shoot dumplings; and braised beef with red wine sauce served in a pumpkin. In addition to a selection of steaks, new en-

trées include jumbo prawns sautéed in butter, garlic, shallots and lemon; sweet soy chicken with pineapple fried rice; smoked Chilean sea bass with ponzu butter; and sautéed whole lobster with black truffle sauce.

Lucky Dragon has clearly become the new home of authentic Chinese cuisine in Las Vegas, and it’s goes way beyond that. There are no rules when it comes to great dining. Phoenix at Lucky Dragon, 702-579-1288; Sunday-Thursday 5-10 p.m., Friday & Saturday 5-11 p.m.

he Dorsey has very quickly built a reputation as one of the top cocktail bars on the Strip, luring in Vegas visitors for artfully crafted pre-show libations. Now the Venetian hot spot is aiming to boost its standing with locals and industry workers with the Dorsey Collective, “micro-residencies” featuring talented visiting bartenders, artists and musicians from across the country.

“There are great cocktail bars in this town that are very much a staple for the industry to hang out when they’re not working, with Herbs & Rye being a great example,” says New York City barman Sam Ross, who created the

Dorsey’s menu and returns to Vegas often to monitor its execution. “We want to position ourselves to be part of that as well. Las Vegas is never short of enthusiastic bartenders wanting to get together and talk shop and have some fun.”

In the grand tradition of visiting chefs doing pop-up dinners, the first Collective event was held October 17 starring Yael Vengroff from LA’s Spare Room, complemented by music from LA’s DJ Tessa. Vengroff ’s special Vegas cocktail menu included the Diamonds to Dust (Plymouth gin, Blanc Vermouth, lemon curd, sage and orange) and the Helter Skelter (Lot 40 rye, peated Irish single

malt, Crème de Noyaux, coconut and toasted pecan bitters), showing that even the Strip can still learn some new flavors.

“We’re really happy with how it turned out and the response we’re getting,” Ross says. “We’re looking at doing this every two months, we’ll be picking a different city each time and we’re looking into some more industry-based stuff.

Basically if you’ve got an interest in this industry, we would love the Dorsey to be one of your spots.” –Brock Radke
