id you dance the pain away in 2017? You did if you’re a fan of future house funkster Oliver Heldens, who dropped the deep house groove “The Answer” last March under his bass-focused alias Hi-Lo. If you made a playlist of songs to get you through a year full of challenges, the track was a must-add. Heldens is starting 2018 with a new Vegas residency at Marquee Nightclub, kicking off the year with a Friday-night gig. The Dutch DJ and producer landed in the EDM consciousness in 2013 with “Gecko,” a song Tiësto grabbed for his Musical Freedom label that established Heldens, then just 18 years old, as one of the innovators of the future house genre. Two years later he launched his own Heldeep Records and began going deeper underground as Hi-Lo, dropping
s o u n d
original material and remixes with varying sonic styles. “It has given me the opportunity to produce other tracks than just the Oliver Heldens sound,” he told EDM Identity in July. “I can draw influences from the ’70s and ’80s and even my own childhood, the soul and disco funk kind of stuff. I think my show has become more diverse, and there is more of a flow to it.” Get a feel with Hi-Lo’s latest track, “Alien Technology,” a collaboration with Brazilian producer Alok, before catching Heldens at Marquee. Oliver Heldens at Marquee at the Cosmopolitan, January 5.

GM Resorts International is bringing a lot of excitement to 2018 with the transformation of the Monte Carlo resort into Park MGM and the NoMad Hotel. And yet that massive project is just the tip of the spear when it comes to the hospitality behemoth’s plans for the coming year, when it will deliver unique and thrilling entertainment options to the Strip.

The aforementioned resort’s Park Theater recently added Lady Gaga—opening in December—to its list of resident stars, with more big names to come. “We anticipate there will be more residents announced at Park Theater in the near future,” said Senior VP of Entertainment Rick Arpin. “The acts we are looking at are amazing and iconic, which they would have to be to match an already stellar lineup.” There are plans to further utilize the neighboring Park and Toshiba Plaza this year, especially when programming aligns with major events at T-Mobile Arena, which has been electrified with the success of the Vegas Golden Knights. “The biggest hope I have as a native of Las Vegas is that the guests coming regularly to [Knights] games who may not have visited the Strip often or at all, now decide to come more regularly for other events, or

simply to enjoy the Strip experience,” Arpin said. T-Mobile will host concerts with Katy Perry, U2 and Pink in the first half of 2018. Moving south on the Strip, MGM will bring more professional sports to Las Vegas in May when the WNBA’s Aces begin play at Mandalay Bay Events Center. “We hope to pattern a few things after the Golden Knights, including the quality of play and the engagement of the players in the community. Those are hallmarks of the WNBA nationwide, so we are excited to see that here in Las Vegas as another piece of our pro sports puzzle,” Arpin said, also noting that Mandalay Bay is ideally suited for the team. “Many WNBA teams play in major arenas that are frankly too large. Second, the property offers a variety of attractions and amenities for a family. And third, the resort is very accessible to fans, and there is plenty to do both pre- and postgame.” MGM has activity planned for the north Strip, too, with the festival grounds at Sahara Avenue expected to host at least two large events this year. –Brock Radke

n what has become one of the most anticipated events of the Vegas club year, Wynn Nightlife has announced its resident artist roster for the coming year, and again the list is loaded with superstars and surprises. Returning to their residencies at XS, Intrigue and Encore Beach Club this year are Alesso, The Chainsmokers, David Guetta, Dillon Francis, Diplo, DJ Snake, Flosstradamus, Kygo, Lost Kings, Major Lazer, Marshmello, Nicky Romero, RL Grime, Slander, Yellow Claw, Zen Freeman and Wynn’s only non-musical resident, MMA leg-
end Conor McGregor, who will be back to host after-fight parties at Wynn and Encore venues. Leading off the short but acclaimed list of previous Wynn performers graduating to resident status are electronic trio Cheat Codes, dubstep and electro DJ Slushii, and trap and moombahton expert Valentino Khan. And, as announced a few weeks ago, Afrojack will return for his second residency. And perhaps most exciting is Wynn’s new resident list, as diverse a selection of music producers and
taste makers as can be found in the dance music world. They are: South Africa’s most prominent dance music producer and deep house DJ, Black Coffee; Swedish EDM duo Galantis; Welsh producer, Hot Creations label head and Ibiza mainstay Jamie Jones; LA-based trap and bass rising star Jauz; and Bosnian house and techno producer Solomun. With these unique artists in the mix, Wynn’s dancefloors should feel more eclectic than ever.

fter he opened Light in midtown Manhattan and then the big Vegas nightclub version of the hot-spot venue at Bellagio in 2001, Chris Barish was dubbed the “King of Clubs” by Vanity Fair magazine. Now he’s back on the Strip with a very different concept but similar philosophy, opening the latest outlet of his Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer at Venetian this past week.
F U N
Christopher Devargas/Staff
i t y
“It’s funny, it’s almost to the day we’re opening here that we opened Light at Bellagio,” Barish says. “There was almost nowhere to eat [in Las Vegas] back then. You had Le Cirque and Prime, but there wasn’t anything like the options of today. I remember going to a dinner on [the Strip] and sitting at a table too big in a seat too sunken-in in a room too bright. It’s so great now, to have all these options, a natural evolution. If you’re going to come here and go to a great show or go to a great club, you should have a great dinner experience.” With its upbeat, modern design by the Rockwell Group, a soundtrack of golden-era hip-hop and vintage pop, and a menu of classic Americana updated with powerhouse flavors (and signature, over-the-top CrazyShakes), Black Tap Las Vegas aims to do just that—offer a great and memorable experience for lunch and dinner. Barish and chef/ partner Joe Isidori acknowledge
B u r g e r
the Strip is crowded with burger joints, but there’s clearly something that sets Black Tap apart. “The restaurant business is always daunting. You always have to be on your toes and put out the best possible product,” Barish says. “If you go down our block in New York, there’s 12 restaurants on that block. It’s overwhelming. But it always goes back to you having a great product, and here we have some 7,000 rooms above us and lots of people that want to eat a burger and have a beer, and maybe try a milkshake or experience a great cocktail program.” Just like when he helped create one of the most influential nightlife experiences in Las Vegas history, Barish and Black Tap are shooting for something more than just the obvious—in this case, a delicious burger. “It’s the look, the feel, the music and the fun that all blends together.” –Brock Radke

f you’re still dealing with the lingering after-effects of the holiday season, tackle that fuzzy feeling head-on. The House of Blues at Mandalay Bay is bringing back its Holiday Hangover event with multiple parties in the restaurant and bar, music hall and nearby Foundation Room nightclub on Saturday. It starts with tribute band Saved by the ’90s, DJs Babae and Dynamixx and the Garage Boys performing at
the HOB Music Hall at 7 p.m., with an all-you-can-drink option for the ultimate hair-of-the-dog experience. Inside the restaurant, local acoustic favorite Paul Campanella performs at 9 p.m. and the bar will close out holiday drink specials like the $6 Peppermint Bark, with vodka, peppermint Kahlua and mint ice cream. When it’s time to take the party to the next level—actually, the 63rd floor— DJ D-Miles takes control at the Foundation Room for the official Holiday
Hangover afterparty. Whether you’re looking to extend your favorite season or kill off those Christmas vibes for the next 11 months, the House of Blues has the remedy. Holiday Hangover at House of Blues & Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay, January 6.

itchen Table quickly became one of the hottest brunch destinations in the Las Vegas Valley when it opened in Henderson on Horizon Ridge Parkway. Now that chef Javier Chavez and his team have expanded their operations to include a comfortable new location in the southwest at the Gramercy, it was time to extend KT’s meal times, too. Kitchen Table Squared has introduced a refined dinner menu at the new destination, with a little Latin influence and lots of addictive flavors. Start with a chipotle chicken tinga tostada or a panko-crusted crab cake that
uses three different types of sweet crab meat. There are some holdovers from the daytime menu, like a Belgian waffle appetizer with foie gras and peach compote. But breakfasty items are balanced out by other diverse offerings, such as seasonal raw oysters, shortrib taquitos and baked Cherrystone clams. Entrées include everything from steaks, chops and seafood to pasta, paninis and burgers. The roasted suckling pig BLT is topped with apple coleslaw and hot sauce on a brioche bun, while vegetable risotto or paella create lighter options. Barbecued beef ribs are done Texas-style, but
there’s also a classic veal schnitzel and sesame crusted ahi tuna among the many dinner choices. Throw that beloved brunch menu into the mix and Kitchen Table Squared might just be your favorite new neighborhood restaurant. Kitchen Table Squared at 9205 Russell Road #185, 702-982-8218; Sunday-Thursday 8 a.m.-3 p.m. & 5-9 p.m., FridaySaturday 8 a.m.-3 p.m. & 5-10 p.m.

s the San Diego nightclub scene has ramped up in recent years, one of the venues leading the charge has been going through its own personal evolution.

On Broadway was an iconic destination in the Gaslamp Quarter from 2000 to 2012, known for hosting as many private events as memorable club party nights. One of its original owners, Carlos Becerra, took over and converted it into the entirely new Parq Nightclub and Restaurant experience, which opened in October 2014. While it’s full of updated light and sound technologies, Parq sets itself apart most obviously with its size—38,000 square feet spread over five rooms plus the new Lair bar and club downstairs. “It was a total transformation into Parq, but we still have a large number of corporate events and private parties,” Becerra says. “During Comic-Con, we had Marvel doing a party in one room and the Black Eyed Peas in another. It’s tough to do that at other venues downtown because they don’t have the space.” Originally constructed as the Bank of Italy in 1926, the building boasts a level of history and architectural
detail you can’t find anywhere else. Parq also takes pride in its programming. “We opened with Steve Aoki and Deorro, but we’ve had a mix of music from the start, when it was a four-day weekend and we did so many different formats,” Becerra says. The club has showed off that range with performances by Diplo, Chris Brown and Dee Jay Silver. “I think it’s the only true open-format venue in San Diego,” says Kalika Moquin, head of Blackout Artists and Parq’s entertainment director. “One night it was The Chainsmokers, and a week later it was Future. In Vegas, most [venues] tend to be either EDM or hip-hop. Parq gives the best of both worlds.” Parqsd.com. –Brock Radke

aesars Palace has been mixing it up at Cleopatra’s Barge for a while now, incorporating interesting and sometimes unexpected music programming. But no one saw this production coming: Renegades, a new interactive show allowing fans to get up-close and personal with “sports rebels” like Jose Canseco, Jim McMahon, Terrell Owens and Jimmy King, who will open in the longtime lounge space on January 25. Comedian Martin Montana serves as the host, and Eric Jordan Young—one of the stars of the Barge’s new Cocktail Cabaret musical—serves as writer and director. The Renegades roster will rotate the starring athletes every few months and will work as a bit of a roundtable as the legends recount stories from their playing days and beyond. The audience will get to ask the panel questions at the end of each show.
b r i n g s t o
B a r g e
With Canseco, a two-time World Series champ and controversial best-selling author, leading off the lineup, the tone is set to make a splash. “You think you know these athletes’ stories, but trust me, you have no idea,” co-producer Rich Lenkov said in a statement. “Renegades will offer the most unique entertainment experience on the Strip, where some of the most infamous names in sports will take you through the highs and lows of their careers in an intimate setting.”

s it too early to pick the best new restaurant of 2018? Bavette’s actually opened at the tail end of 2017, which shows how quickly this Chicago transplant has left an impression. Informal yet regal, dark and sexy (but in a nontraditional way), the new steakhouse is one of the restaurant cornerstones of the Park MGM/ NoMad Hotel resort (for now, still known as the Monte Carlo). There will soon be other new dining options announced for the evolving Strip destination, and they’ll all have catching up to do to compare to Bavette’s. The foyer is French country meets leather-and-wood library. The long, sleek dining room glows under golden chandeliers and Tiffany lamps, which create warm vibes while maintaining intimacy at every table. And don’t get us started on the bar hidden at the back of the room. From the moment you first step inside Bavette’s, you feel like returning again and again. Oh yeah, the food is delicious, too—a seemingly classic steak-
t h e
s p o t
house menu with some surprises along the way. Dishes from bygone eras make triumphant returns, like baked goat cheese slathered in rich red sauce with garlic bread for dipping, and a prime beef French dip sandwich. Chilled seafood towers and dry-aged, bone-in ribeyes await for the baller set, while burgers griddled with American cheese, smoked salmon Caesar salads and fried chicken with mashed potatoes and cipollini onion gravy will satisfy those in need of extra comfort. Side dishes of thick-cut, maple-black pepper bacon and bourbon-glazed sweet potatoes go with everything. And save room for a towering slice of lemon meringue pie to finish your first masterpiece meal. Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar at Monte Carlo, 702-730-6700; Sunday-Thursday 5-10 p.m., Friday-Saturday 5-11 p.m. –Brock Radke

oyd Gaming’s impressive upgrades and renovations at its Las Vegas steakhouse collection has yielded more than a handful of great new restaurants; cocktailing has vastly improved at these spots, too. You might not expect next-level libations at the Orleans, for example, but there they are, at the proper chophouse Alder & Birch, a lovely lounge with a wellassembled signature drink menu. It’s available every day starting at 4 p.m., an hour before the restaurant opens for dinner. The Maple Manhattan is the obvious choice, a sweet and savory whiskey treat made with Crown Royal, Angostura bitters, sweet vermouth, maple syrup and candied bacon strip as crunchable garnish. For a seasonally appropriate sipper, there’s the Winter Sangria—DaVinci chianti spiked with flavors of sour apple and

And the Lavender Kiss gets a bit romantic with a dehydrated lavender flower served over Ketel One, Grand Marnier and Champagne. Reminder: These are off-Strip casino drinks. You must taste to believe. Alder & Birch at the Orleans, 702-365-7111; SundayThursday 4-10 p.m., FridaySaturday 4-11 p.m.
