f you find Houston hip-hop icon Scarface’s beats and lyrics to be aggressive, controversial and defiant, you should probably prepare yourself for the possibility that after nearly 30 years in the game, he’s just getting started.

“I been woke,” says the highly influential artist. “It’s time to expose a lot of sh*t going on that either a lot of people aren’t aware of, or they’re aware but they wanna turn a blind eye. I’m gonna open up a lot of eyes.

“Life ain’t never been about a bigass party, it’s always about educating your young. You heard that it takes a village? I’m fixing to ignite that village.”

Two years ago, the acclaimed MC released Deeply Rooted, his 12th studio album and first in seven years. “I didn’t know how the public was going to accept it in this climate and era, but they were very receptive,” he says. “I had some songs left over I didn’t use and different versions of other songs that didn’t come out.” That brings us to this week’s release of Deeply Rooted: The Lost Files.

l e g e n d d r o p s a t

’Face, who’s touring with a live band and has been known to shock the audience with his guitar skills, is ready to get back in the studio in early 2018. If it seems like he’s fired up because of the political climate—and government shortfalls exposed by the natural disaster in his hometown and other places— that’s how he’s always been, and he’s doing what he’s always done.

“I don’t think things just got all f*cked up; things have been f*cked up. It was never difficult to write about it, because it’s always been there,” he says. “We can thank social media for what we have right now, because social media sees everything. The camera is always on.

I just make music that reflects the times.” Scarface & DJ Quik at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, December 19. –Brock Radke

Carey has turned her annual New York City holiday concerts at the Beacon Theatre into a full-on Christmas tour with dates in the U.K. and Las Vegas.

On the Strip, the natural venue was the Colosseum, where this past summer she concluded her two-year “Number 1 to Infinity” residency. Reports of a new headlining production at a different Strip venue have been circulating for months, but only time will tell if this unpredictable and infinitely talented superstar will keep her Vegas show going.

All we want for Christmas is a little more Mariah, but a lot more in 2018 sounds good, too. Mariah Carey at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, December 14-22.

ou have to assume Christmastime is always the most wonderful time of the year for Mariah Carey, whose classic 1994 track “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” is one of the biggest pop hits ever and likely the single most-dominant song playing no matter where you’re holiday shopping. But Mimi got an early gift this year to sweeten up the season, a nomination for the rare award she hasn’t already collected. The title track to animated nativity movie The Star, which Carey co-wrote with Marc Shaiman, is up for Best Original Song at the Golden Globes in January.

peaking at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay on December 11, Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said she wasn’t surprised this day had come. The city’s new WNBA team, formerly the San Antonio Stars, had already announced its move to Las Vegas to play at the Mandalay Bay Events Center beginning in 2018. On Monday, the team rolled out its new name, the Las Vegas Aces, and a sharp logo, created in colors paralleling those of the UNLV Rebels and the Vegas Golden Knights.

Since she’s passionate about basketball and has been instrumental—along with her husband, former Las Vegas

Mayor Oscar Goodman—in bringing professional sports to the city, Carolyn Goodman said she recognized Las Vegas’ love of the sport and knew a team would eventually arrive. But in that environment, surrounded by dignitaries, WNBA and MGM Resorts International officials, it was hard not to feel mild shock about the sports city Las Vegas has suddenly become.

After additional comments from Mandalay Bay president Chuck Bowling, WNBA president Lisa Borders, Clark County Commission Chair Steve Sisolak, MGM Resorts president Bill Hornbuckle and the team’s GM and head coach—Detroit Pistons legend

Bill Laimbeer—a flashy video starring Cirque du Soleil performers played, the Aces’ name and logo arrived and the House of Blues was showered in confetti.

In explaining why he took the job, Laimbeer—who has coached the New York Liberty the past five seasons and previously won three WNBA titles leading the Detroit Shock—said he was ready for a new challenge, and that, “it was time to do something special.” What could be more special than helping Las Vegas take its next sporting step? –Brock Radke

unrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset. In case you didn’t get the memo, Terrace Afterhours has flipped the script. While house heads and techno connoisseurs previously danced until after dawn at the club on the roof of Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club during the summer, the venue is now turning into an afternoon destination for the winter months.

For the next installment of the Terrace’s weekly Sunday afternoon festivities, German duo Monkey Safari headlines the party’s holiday edition.

Dubbed “Santa Safari,” the jungle meets “Jingle Bells” for a costume

party that encourages everything from classic ugly sweaters to a Christmasy cheetah or anything else one can dream of for this “hot, funky holiday party”—as Terrace’s main man Brett Rubin puts it—with great views of the city.

“Monkey Safari came out with a track called ‘Hi Life’ in 2012, and it’s probably one of my favorite electronic songs of the past decade,” says Rubin, a resident DJ at Terrace who has closed many Burning Man sets with the song.

“I’ve always wanted to bring them out here, and they were doing a little tour in the U.S.” After seeing them play a killer daytime set at the Desert Hearts

Festival, Rubin felt their melodic techno would fit the daytime vibe and groove.

So grab a group of festive friends, a new (unwrapped) toy for the donation bin (which earns you a free drink) and RSVP on Terrace Afterhours’ Facebook event page. Monkey Safari at Terrace Afterhours at the Hustler Club, December 17. –Deanna Rilling

hat’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word “cryotherapy” ... could it be Austin Powers?

Photograph by Christopher Devargas

Don’t worry, Frost Fit has nothing to do with the International Man of Mystery. But a minute or two inside the new recovery center’s “arctic chamber” could leave you feeling rejuvenated. That sounds groovy, right?

Perhaps you’ve already heard of whole-body cryotherapy, the process of submitting one’s body to extremely cold temperatures (as low as -220 degrees Fahrenheit) for a very brief amount of time (one to three minutes) to alleviate tired muscles and decrease inflammation. In recent years, cryotherapy has emerged as a popular method among athletes, many of whom prefer the treatment to old-school ice baths.

I tried the chamber after backto-back boxing and kickboxing classes—I’m still sore as I write this—and my shoulders felt less tense immediately following my treatment.

Chiropractor and Frost Fit founder Jared Norman says he opened up the spa facility to help people recover quicker, feel better and even achieve their weight loss goals faster. But Frost Fit offers more than just cryo treatments. Clients can also benefit from a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the Infrafit X bicycle and the jade sauna—an infrared sauna pod that can help detoxify the skin and burns up to 600 calories in one 40-minute session. The scientific evidence behind these claims isn’t exactly clear, but it feels far more relaxing and hygienic than your traditional steam sauna—and that’s a win in my book.

t was never a secret that Ross Mollison’s Spiegelworld has been developing additional show concepts for Las Vegas, hoping to capitalize on the success of Absinthe at Caesars Palace. In fact, Mollison told us in August the unorthodox company was working on something for the now-abandoned Alon resort project that he’s hoping will find a home somewhere on the Strip.

place where Spiegelworld’s celebrated Vegas Nocturne ran for seven months in 2014. There’s just something about that Cosmo space that Mollison can’t ignore. “We are very excited to be making a brand new show in Vegas, for Vegas, and we are thrilled to be returning to the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to create an intimate parlor of idiocy in the showroom at Rose.Rabbit.Lie.,” he said in a statement.

But we didn’t see this coming: Spiegelworld’s new effort, Opium, is set to open March 13 at Rose.Rabbit.

Lie. at the Cosmopolitan—the same

In true Spiegel-style, the specifics of Opium are hazy. “Veteran promoter” Harry M. Howie may or may not be the centerpiece of a fast-paced, Absinthe-

like, comedy-focused variety show: “Remember the good old days when you relaxed into a Las Vegas showroom with a martini in hand while a pack of comedians and crooners bantered in front of the house band?” the statement read. “Neither do we, but it sure as hell didn’t look like this.”

ll. Day. Breakfast. And we’re not talking about stale McMuffins. The new Café Hollywood menu is divided into the four Las Vegas mealtimes of breakfast, lunch/dinner, late night and everyone’s favorite, all-day breakfast. A chorizo scramble with avocado and melted cheese. A traditional loco moco with savory brown gravy. Sweet croissant French toast. Or crispy fried chicken piled high atop Belgian waffles, all lacquered in maple syrup.

Recently renovated from the former

c l o c k Planet Dailies coffee shop, Café Hollywood is a tribute to all things Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, its walls plastered with photos from different events celebrating the celebrityfueled restaurant chain. The space is wide-open, bright and energetic, exactly the right vibe for a casual group meal before the night begins or after the party has died down.

The all-new menu splits the difference between diner-style favorites and more contemporary American cuisine. Biscuits and gravy sit next

to smoked salmon-avocado toast.

Chicken parmigiana co-exists with a California burrito. And that famous chicken crunch is ready and waiting whenever you need it, even in the wee hours. It tastes better then anyway.

The acclaimed restaurant by chef Brian Howard is the only spot in Nevada pouring iced highballs from the Beam Suntory Highball Tap, a machine that achieves the ideal balance of Suntory Toki Whisky and soda water, served ice-cold with just the right amount of carbonation over bricks of ice.

Sound simple? It is. But Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii has been perfecting the cocktail since the 1950s, and it shows. Far from your dive-bar mixed drink, this highball is praised for its refreshing, Champagne-like quality and the way it pairs with just about anything.

It only makes sense that the tap would be available at Sparrow + Wolf, where old world concepts mingle with the new, and fresh, seasonal ingredients are the culinary stars.

The drink will only enhance the journey. Sparrow + Wolf at 4480 W. Spring Mountain Road #100, 702-790-2147; Wednesday-Monday 5-11 p.m. –Leslie Ventura

new show at the Mirage means more than a change in venue for Matt Goss, the English crooner who has always occupied a space all his own in Las Vegas.

Goss, who has sold more than 5 million records and performed a 30th-anniversary concert with his career-launching pop group Bros at London’s O2 Arena this summer, started his Las Vegas life at the Palms in 2009 before a long and successful run at Caesars Palace from 2010 to 2016. Last week, he began his new residency at 1 Oak, transforming the nightclub into a stylish showroom.

“I’m not a lounge singer, I’m somebody who truly enjoys the strange dichotomy of these two careers,” Goss says. “What I’ve realized is this classic ap-

a M i r ag e

proach to entertainment, where you actually engage with the audience, see their eyes and shake their hands and feel their joy and love and pain, gives me so much as well. I’ve learned more in Las Vegas than at any arena or stadium.”

He’s also learned how much he loves Las Vegas, and how badly he wanted to continue performing here after his Caesars show wrapped up.

“I thought maybe that was it, that it was time for a different chapter, but in my heart I didn’t want to leave.

I wanted to create something special, and I think I’ve been given the chance with MGM, a company that truly loves and respects entertainment,” he says. “I care so deeply about my audience’s experience. ... As a performer, I like being at a venue and property that

understands the experience of my guests. I want the drinks, the seating, the experience to be premium, everything.”

Goss returns to his new stage in January; next up is his annual holiday run of performances in London.

“I’m a proud Londoner, but I’m also very proud of this country and of Las Vegas,” he says. “The solidarity and civility and humility that’s been on display lately, even the day after [the October 1 shooting], there was just so much grace and strength in the way this city has behaved.” –Brock Radke M A RIO B A R B ERIO / c o u r t e s y
