is keeping the music coming—he just released the brassy, bassy “Danger,” a hip-hop track featuring Migos from the soundtrack to the Will Smith-starring Netflix original movie Bright. Expect more new music in January from Marshmello, who was working on a track with Lil Peep right before the emo rapper’s untimely passing in November.
ew Year’s Eve weekend offers a double dose from Wynn Nightlife’s two biggest headlining DJs for the year’s biggest party. Marshmello plays XS on December 29 before taking the decks at Intrigue on the 31st, while Diplo takes over at XS on December 30 and January 1.
Diplo, who extended his Wynn residency for two more years in October, remains one of the most in-demand producers in music. He’s gearing up for an even bigger 2018 that should see the release of a long-simmering Major Lazer album and, based on his recent comments, some more collabo time with DJ buddy Skrillex, with whom he teamed for the acclaimed Jack Ü project in 2013.
The ’mello one’s still riding high behind recent hits with superstar collaborators Khalid (“Silence”) and Selena Gomez (“Wolves”). But the mysterious stay-puft producer
Along with Marshmello and Diplo, the clubs at Wynn will host The Chainsmokers, RL Grime and Cheat Codes this weekend to ring in the new year right.

ew Year’s Eve means a lot of things in Las Vegas, and one of them is Maroon 5. This weekend marks the sixth-consecutive year the pop band has played a pair of shows on the Strip to usher in the new year, which means the holiday-in-Vegas tradition began shortly after NBC’s The Voice launched frontman Adam Levine’s second career as a TV personality. That span of time has also seen Maroon 5 record a series of team-up tracks, many of which have become hits. It really all started with “Moves Like Jagger” with Christina Aguilera, and though the band has since collaborated with familiar names in country (Lady Antebellum) and pop (Gwen Stefani), hip-hop artists have been the weapon of choice most recently. Levine has sung on tracks by Kanye West, the Ying Yang Twins and 50 Cent and Eminem, and Maroon 5 has worked up memorable tunes with Wiz Khalifa (“Payphone”), Kendrick Lamar (“Don’t Wanna Know”) and Future (“Cold”). The band might have crafted its catchiest collaboration yet for the lead single from November release Red Pill Blues—the funky and friendly “What Lovers Do,” featuring white-hot singer-songwriter SZA. It recently peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, another hit to add to the collection. Maroon 5 at Mandalay Bay Events Center, December 30 & 31. –Brock Radke

ne of the most iconic bars on the Las Vegas Strip has a whole new look, and if you haven’t experienced the renovated Chandelier at the Cosmopolitan, it’s time to return. The crystal-adorned, three-tier lounge that stands as the centerpiece of the Cosmo’s casino was originally designed by the Rockwell Group and is constantly popping up on every travel magazine and website list of mustvisit Vegas destinations. Changes to the ground floor were completed last year, including the addition of bartop
video poker machines to complement the gaming experience at that level. But it’s the second level that’s all the buzz right now. That Chandelier space, previously closed off and dark per typical bar-lounge design, is wide open and brighter, with a social area facing new restaurants Eggslut, Milk Bar and Momofuku and seating that has expanded from 15 to 70. Modern, minimal furniture has replaced bulkier pieces inside the lounge, adding a feeling of flexibility. And level 1.5—still a bit of a lesser-known, hidden-gem when the crowds take
over the rest of the Chandelier during busy weekend nights—is wrapping up a similar cosmetic upgrade that includes USB ports and power outlets to keep the party well-charged. Most importantly, the stellar cocktails and service remain intact. Because even a three-story chandelier needs a solid foundation.

ight around Thanksgiving, Raiding the Rock Vault celebrated its 1,000th show at Vinyl inside the Hard Rock Hotel at the same time as its fifth anniversary—the epic musical assault originally debuted in 2012 at LA’s Mayan Theater. The dual special occasions were marked by a week of performances that included past and present band membersand, for the first time ever, encores—because you can never get enough rock. If you missed the celebration, don’t
f u t u r e
fret. Raiding the Rock Vault carries on at full stream into the new year, with shows Saturday through Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Hard Rock’s intimate music hall. The show’s rotating cast of all-star musicians—Heart guitarist Howard Leese, Bon Jovi bassist Hugh McDonald, Asia and Yes drummer Jay Schellen, REO Speedwagon guitarist Dave Amato, Quiet Riot singer Paul Shortino and many more—brings classic rock’s greatest hits to life during every performance, tunes from The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hen-
drix, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, U2, Aerosmith, Van Halen, AC/DC, Whitesnake and more. The music is embedded in the DNA of this legendary Las Vegas destination, which makes Raiding the Rock Vault a perfect fit for the Hard Rock Hotel.

veryone knows the Las Vegas Strip offers one of the most dynamic restaurant landscapes in the world, but only locals and sharp visitors understand the delicious evolution of the off-Strip food scene. Today, well-known celebrity chefs are getting off Las Vegas Boulevard and into the neighborhood—Summerlin, to be specific. Wolfgang Puck already operates a restaurant at Downtown Summerlin, and now Chopped favorite Scott Conant is getting ready to open Masso Osteria at Red Rock Resort in February. “I feel like Las Vegas is one of the prime restaurant markets in the country, and I believe in it from a business perspective,” says Conant, who previously opened Scarpetta and D.O.C.G. at the Cosmopolitan. “But I’ve also spent a lot of time ingratiating myself there. It’s been eight years since I [started in Vegas]. My daughter learned to walk in Vegas while I was opening there. It’s a special place to me.” Conant says he’s excited to be part of a new wave of restaurant
C o n a n t a t
R es o r t
developments at Station Casinos properties, which includes his famous friend Michael Symon, who is working on a restaurant at the Palms and helped connect Conant to the company. Masso, Conant says, will be somewhere between Scarpetta and D.O.C.G., “a little more casual with a very approachable design.” He’s taking the space of the former Salute restaurant, which has a striking exposed kitchen and wood-fired grill, of which he plans to take full advantage. “I think we’ll do a lot of grilled items and wood-roasted items, and I have to have a flatbreads section on the menu,” Conant says. “I want to have a nice wine bar section in the front space. Overall, I want people to feel comfortable whether it’s a special occasion or drinks and bites after work. I’m looking for a sense of conviviality.” –Brock Radke

astronomy reaches its absolute pinnacle at Guy Savoy’s legendary Caesars Palace dining room, a Las Vegas institution since the iconic chef’s debut on the Strip in 2006. Savoy’s restaurant in Paris was just named the best restaurant in the world by La Liste, which uses an algorithm that factors in international dining guides, reservations and reviews to tally its list of 1,000 top destinations. Like its French counterpart, the Caesars Palace location is known for precise presentation and beautifully decadent dishes, served with the highest at-
S E R V E S M E N U
tention to detail. The recently unveiled winter menu offers the opportunity for yet another memorable masterpiece of a meal, crafted by executive chef Julien Asseo under the master Savoy’s watchful direction. New options include langoustine with dashi, hibiscus and Osetra caviar; Mediterranean red mullet with toasted fregula sarda, cured lemon and jus cores; seared foie gras with crispy tamanishiki rice, sea urchin and tangerine gastrique; grilled veal sweet bread with crispy hazelnut milk skin and mushroom extraction; and roasted California squab
with cabbage chartreuse and bitter chocolate squab jus. There simply isn’t another dining experience like Guy Savoy, and in the season of celebrations, there’s no better place for the ultimate one. Restaurant Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace, 702-731-7286; WednesdaySunday 5:30-9:30 p.m.

t’s been said Las Vegas needs professional sports, or a thriving arts and culture community, or a more diverse economy in order to become a truly great city. But we believe there’s something else that defines a major metropolis, something simple yet necessary, and Vegas has its very own version—street food. The Strip is more than the most wellknown street in Las Vegas; it’s our main artery. And it’s stacked with our own over-the-top version of street food—delicious offerings that put a taco truck or hot dog cart to shame.
Take a stroll down the “side street” known as the Linq Promenade and take your pick from fish and chips (from Gordon Ramsay), classic pastrami (from Canter’s Deli), gourmet dogs, cheesy slices or sushi burritos, just to name a few. And now that there’s an In-N-Out Burger along the Linq—the first on the Strip—the collection is complete. Midwest, East Coast and international visitors have been getting their In-N-Out fix in Las Vegas for years; now the exalted Double-Double beckons from an even more convenient location. Do they even need to go to California anymore?
c o u r t e s y PHO T O
hot plate
As it does everything else, the Strip handles street food in a glitzy and delicious way. It doesn’t get any more major than that. In-N-Out Burger at the Linq Promenade, 800-786-1000; Sunday-Thursday 10:30-1 a.m., Friday & Saturday 10:30-1:30 a.m.

ver the past two years, Dizzy Wright has written and recorded more music than some musicians create in an entire decade. His latest releases—The Golden Age 2 and State of Mind 2, followups to 2013 and 2014 albums, respectively—are grounded in conscious, thought-provoking perspectives shaped by his upbringing in the desert, an affinity for smoking weed and passionate, personal-is-political lyrics.

Wright says his back-to-back LPs are his way of helping people find their footing after a daunting year. “It’s about understanding yourself,” Wright says on the phone from Austin, Texas. “We’re all going through this universal transition of waking up and understanding things a little better.” Combining mindfulness with soulful beats and a casual delivery, Wright has become one of the most recognizable MCs in hip-hop’s underground, but he’s still famously anti-major label. “I’m not willing to make the kind of music other people want me to make,” he says. He spent most of this year on tour and in the studio,
and 2018 is setting up for more of the same. But first, he’ll wrap up a recording session in Austin—for a collaboration tentatively known as One Week Notice—and enjoy a homecoming of sorts at Brooklyn Bowl before hitting Colorado’s Magness Arena for New Year’s Eve. That will be followed by a 27date winter tour. “There’s nothing like being in a room full of creative people and coming up with a masterpiece. That feeling is amazing,” Wright says. “I just want to get the city involved and let them know this music is coming from a spirit that was raised in the city we all love.” Dizzy Wright at Brooklyn Bowl at the Linq Promenade, December 29. –Leslie Ventura
