y Dolla $ign is more than deserving of his own spotlight, and that’s what he’s getting with his new residency at Drai’s, which officially kicks off on Sunday, January 14. The LA-bred hip-hop and R&B artist famously broke through after producing and performing on YG’s hit “Toot It and Boot It” more than seven years ago, but that was just a taste of what was to come. Ty has had massive success as a writer, solo artist and featured artist on tons of tracks, and his work knows no genre limitations. He has appeared on Fifth Harmony’s mega-hit “Work From Home,” Afrojack’s “Gone” and Nick Jonas’ single “Bacon,” and has written Rihanna’s “FourFiveSeconds,” Chris Brown’s “Loyal” and Gucci Mane’s “Enormous.” He has also chipped in on the film soundtracks for Suicide Squad and Bright.

His second studio album—Beach House 3, released in October—has already yielded standout singles “Love U Better” with Lil Wayne and The-Dream and “So Am I” with Damian Marley and Skrillex. In the works for 2018 is a team-up project with Jeremih rumored to include guests spots from Brown and PartyNextDoor. He’s used to being surrounded by stars, so Ty should feel right at home among the Drai’s resident roster. Ty Dolla $ign at Drai’s at the Cromwell, January 14.

y Girl” is the very definition of a breakout hit—a catchy, relatable tune that gets lodged in your head after just one listen. Dylan Scott’s upbeat, romantic ballad scored the rising country star his first platinum No. 1, and he’s capitalizing on it with his first headlining show on the Las Vegas Strip this week. We caught up with the happy new dad to talk about his musical momentum. Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Thank you. It’s a big life change, that’s for sure. We both wanted a little boy first, so we’re really excited. Your father is a musician who played with some country legends. Did you always want to follow in his footsteps? I saw him playing and heard the stories, and that was what I wanted to do. I would never put a guitar in my son’s hands and say, “You will learn this.” He is who he is. Whatever he wants to be, I’ll be supportive. But as long as I can remember, I always knew music was what I wanted to do.

less important. There has to be something consistent about what you’re doing, but it doesn’t have to be that. I grew up listening to everything from country to pop to hiphop and R&B. I can go to my shows and pull back and play an old-school country song from the ’70s and then turn around and do a current-day pop song, and people will relate. Is it one of your favorite songs to play live? Oh yeah. It’s just one of those things now that everybody anticipates, and when it finally hits everybody goes crazy. But the new single, “Hooked,” is blowing up, and people are learning that one, too. I have a song called “Crazy Over Me,” and it only went to No. 34 on the charts but people still sing it just as loud as a No. 1 single. It’s cool to see that. Dylan Scott at the Foundry at SLS, January 12. –Brock Radke

Were you ever concerned even a little that “My Girl” would pigeonhole you? Nah. I think in today’s age, the genre of music is

Jing is just one aspect of Enferno’s musicianship. The D.C. native and Tao Las Vegas resident exploded onto the scene when he went on tour with Madonna throughout 2008 and 2009, which led to lots of DJ gigs in major cities across the country. But he’s also a classically trained pianist known to work live performance into his sets and produce music for other artists and events, including Rihanna’s 2010 Loud tour and Shakira’s upcoming El Dorado tour. After a travel-heavy 2017, Enferno’s new prioritized project is Mix Major, a music production education program for kids that he has developed in recent years. It

will materialize as a brick-and-mortar school at home in Virginia in 2018. “I just love making music, and with Mix Major I get to share that,” he says. “Teaching is really close to my heart, especially with kids at a young age, because creativity is just inherent with them and I see it in my own kids.” Enferno’s DJ sets stand out in part because of his customized rig, allowing him to break into actual live performance at will. Some songs work better for his “live remixing,” and that’s why he’s a fan of Camila Cabello’s hit “Havana,” featuring Young Thug. “I flipped it into this thing that’s kind

of trappy and sped up, and it works to go live because of the song’s acoustic elements and its 808 subs and snares,” he says. “It’s a great fit, but it’s also a song I actually like. Sometimes you’re playing music for the crowd, but it’s not a song you’ll listen to yourself. This song is really refreshing because of those Latin chord progressions and piano and catchy vocals and jazzy flavor. Music tastes are a constant cycle. If you hear a lot of 60- to 75-beat-per-minute hip-hop all the time, or 128-beat-per-minute EDM, something like this becomes really refreshing, a real pop track.” –Brock Radke

ne of Las Vegas’ most delicious industry events returns this week, when Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at Downtown Summerlin hosts the third Sommelier Smackdown wine pairing competition on January 17.

How does it work? It’s simple: Two talented local sommeliers—this week it’s Eric Davison from Cut at Palazzo and Jeff Evans from Spago at the Forum Shops—square off and showcase their vast knowledge by matching three

wines with a three-course dinner prepared by Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill executive chef Spencer Rudow. Diners don’t just get to enjoy the menu, which will consist of a roasted baby beet and goat cheese salad, an herb-roasted pork chop with Yukon potato purée and mustard sauce and chocolate molten cake for dessert. They’ll also get to vote on which somm’s choices were better suited. It’s a win-win—one of the most popular restaurants in Summerlin gets to

any of the acts at Absinthe, the naughty and thrilling show in the Spiegeltent at Caesars Palace, are difficult to describe with common words. It sometimes becomes necessary to invent new words in order to accurately portray the magnificent and sometimes hilarious feats we’ve witnessed in that tent. In the case of Absinthe’s newest act, the Silicon Valley Girls, we’re going to go with a new word: Burlesque-robatics. “Their act looks like Charlie’s Angels were meant to be on undercover assignment to infiltrate a cheerleader squad, but Bosley sent them to a bar brawl in a Kiev mafia dive by mistake.” That’s another way to describe this talented trio—as the show’s host and producer, The Gazillionaire,

did when the new addition was announced last month. Using elements of dance, contortion and gymnastics and demonstrating superhuman strength, balance and sex appeal, the Silicon Valley Girls are instant standouts in a show full of memorable performers. If you haven’t returned to Absinthe recently, it’s time to go again, take it all in and maybe make up some new words of your own. –Brock Radke

om Colicchio’s reputation speaks for itself: He’s been an innovator since breaking onto the scene with the opening of Manhattan’s Gramercy Tavern in 1994. His five James Beard Awards speak to his drive and desire to improve your dining experience.

His Craftsteak at MGM Grand is a longstanding example of that creativity. Now in its 15th year, the steakhouse impresses from beginning to end. The beautiful room, with its dark wood accents, soft lighting, brick columns and metallic elements, gives you a glimpse at the experience you’re about to have. You might be tempted to head straight to the steaks and skip a salad, but trust us, the warm frisée is worth your time. The salad, which features smoked bacon, is drenched in an over-easy farm egg; we dare you to leave any on your plate. Whether you opt for an 18-ounce ribeye or a 14-ounce skirt steak, you can’t go wrong with any of the cuts chosen under the watchful eye of executive chef Michael Chapman; every steak is cooked

to achieve maximum juiciness and flavor, and it’s all pre-sliced to make serving a breeze. We recommend you try the 24-hour beef short rib, which, despite its title, actually takes two days to make. It’s so tender you won’t need a knife, and thanks to the marinating process, the flavor profile is endless. If you’d rather indulge in seafood, make sure to try the diver sea scallops with shaved fennel in a citrus sauce that makes every bite pop. Desserts prepared in-house are another huge standout. Try the cinnamon monkey bread, brioche smothered with pecan toffee sauce and served with vanilla bean ice cream, or the fluffy, rich chocolate cake made of Oreo cookies. Colicchio has created something to be proud of in Craftsteak; find out for yourself why. Craftsteak at MGM Grand, 702891-7318; Sunday-Thursday 5-10 p.m., Friday & Saturday 5-10:30 p.m. –Ken Miller

o say that Sam Ross had a vision for Rosina—his latest creation inside the Palazzo—would be a major understatement. Known for reinvigorating cocktail culture with his acclaimed New York City bar Attaboy, Ross has always had a story to tell, whether it’s in his native Australia, on the East Coast or here in Las Vegas. After the success of the Dorsey at the Venetian, Ross decided to go smaller, not bigger, re-creating the feeling of old-school NYC through the simplicity of a perfectly crafted cocktail and a stunning, illustrious art-deco design that harkens back to the 1920s.

Despite the swanky vibe of Rosina, the menu stands out for its approachability. Here, you’ll find a list of shaken, stirred and bubbly classic cocktails, from the Tom Collins with gin, fresh lemon and club soda, to the Whiskey Sour with Bourbon, fresh lemon, bitters and egg white. Or perhaps you’ll start with a tiki-bar favorite, the Mai Tai, made with two rums, fresh lime, orgeat and nutmeg and served in a stone skull mug, before venturing off into uncharted waters. A pro tip from Ross: Ask your bartender for fresh seasonal fruit to be muddled into nearly any drink for a special twist.

Rosina also features a special Julep menu, so fans of the Southern highball can get their fix five different ways. Each one is worth savoring on its own, but the Colonial Julep, with pineapple rum, rye, absinthe, fresh mint and cane syrup, takes the proverbial cake. Rosina at Palazzo, 702-607-1945; daily 5 p.m.-3 a.m. –Leslie Ventura

or the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, creating a unique resort brand starts with assembling the right team. Once you understand that, it comes as no surprise that the recruiting team seems to be having as much fun as Cosmo’s cool customers.

u n C HRISTOPHER DE V AR G AS / STA F F

“If you peel back the layers and look at what it’s like to be part of this culture and part of the team that makes things happen, it is equally edgy and fun, and that’s because we’re given the flexibility to do things with our own style,” explains Director of Talent Acquisition Lori Calderon. “When you get up in the morning and put your feet on the floor and go to work, the last thing you want to feel is dread. Here we are always thinking about how to make it interesting and exciting, and we give a lot of feedback and collect a lot of input in order to take action.” Calderon has been at Cosmo for two and a half years, having made the move to reunite with CEO Bill McBeath; she previously worked with him with MGM Resorts International, where she was employed for 20 years. The veteran of the Vegas people biz has a great appreciation for the special aspects of the Cosmopolitan consumer brand, and she and her

b u i l d s t h e

b r a n d

team try to carry that over to the employee brand. That effort has resulted in some interesting events, like the lively one set for January 18 when Cosmo will hire for pool season. “We try to design events that will always catch people off-guard, and maybe that’s why I fit in here, because I don’t like doing things the same way other people do,” Calderon says. “We want events that we actually want to attend and enjoy, so we always have some element of surprise. When we did our collaborative Community Veterans Career Fair, we had showgirls and a photo booth and a crazy, cool, hip decor to kind of set the stage. Our events have to provide a feel for what our brand is, so the pool hiring event won’t be just a career fair; it will be a true party in the Chelsea, with a DJ and dancers and more.” All the fun speaks to Calderon’s hiring philosophy, which is about getting team members to choose the Cosmo instead of the resort choosing its employees. “We want to thank people for being interested in joining our family,” she says. Cosmopolitan Pool Hiring Party, January 18. –Brock Radke
