You’ve played various Vegas venues, but what do you love about Drai’s? I always have a good time out there. Las Vegas is always evolving, and the crowd is always people from all over. At Drai’s I like the visuals and all the extra stuff onstage that brings the real dopeness and makes it a full experience. Congrats on the Grammy nom for “Chase Me,” a team-up track from

Baby Driver. It was great to team with Run the Jewels and Danger Mouse and get connected and just have everybody spitting over a beat that’s just superhard. You’re touring behind Boomiverse, your first solo album in about five years. How do you feel about the record now that it has had some time to live and breathe? I love it. It’s my favorite. You’ve got to get better and better every time. You always want to evolve, and Boomiverse is the evolution of Big Boi. The people love it, and we’ve got one of the hottest Apple commercials you’ve ever seen [featuring the song “All Night”].

How does it feel to be an icon of the Atlanta sound and perhaps an elder statesman of hip-hop? Me and my [OutKast] partner started when we were 17 years old and made Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, a classic, at 18. We were like kids going to Harvard out of ninth grade, kind of advanced. But you just keep on working. I’m a Jedi master, but I’m also a student. We had a jump on them, but we’re still making music people love, and the South is thriving. It’s just great to be out here jamming with everybody. Big Boi at Drai’s at the Cromwell, January 19. –Brock Radke

aty Perry might have taken an activist-inspired, “purposeful pop” approach in creating fifth studio album Witness, released last summer. But the Witness world tour hasn’t let up on the signature spectacle Perry has always incorporated into her big live show. The political messages displayed when she performed the album’s first single, “Chained to the Rhythm,” at the Grammys last February have been replaced by the colorfully exuberant set pieces you’d expect at a Katy Perry concert—dancing flamingoes, a giant set of lips and, yes, a guest appearance from Left Shark.

K E

V E G A S

Giving fans what they want has always been a priority for Perry, who began her career as a teen singing gospel music before swinging into pop stardom in 2008 behind memorable single “I Kissed a Girl.” Her third LP, 2010’s Teenage Dream, made her the first female artist to score five No. 1 hits in the U.S. from a single album, a feat previously accomplished only by Michael Jackson. The accompanying tour grossed $59 million. Whether Perry’s recent work marks a stylistic or philosophical change is a question that will be left for another time, not Saturday night on the Strip, where she’ll reel off her hits and provide a production to rival the glitziest of Vegas shows. Katy Perry at T-Mobile Arena, January 20. RONY ALWIN/COURTESY

V E G A S ’ R oy Choi seems to have a different approach when it comes to opening a restaurant in Las Vegas.

“I can’t just come in with my LA food to Vegas and think you’re all going to love it,” he says. “You have a culture, and it’s different between locals and visitors. It’s something of a party environment, but you’re also searching for good food as well. I need to mix all of that in.” Choi, plenty of his fellow Southern Californians and lots of Las Vegans are surely excited after last week’s announcement that the chef behind LA’s Kogi BBQ food trucks and hip res-

taurants like Chego, A-Frame, Pot and Locol will open an eatery at Park MGM, his first outside California. And his yetto-be-named Vegas restaurant will bring an interesting element of cool to a resort that, so far, has only announced fancy food options. “My mood board is ‘Los Vegas,’” Choi says. “It’s LA and it’s Vegas, but together it’s this new thing, which is like the type of food I cook. Tacos and Korean barbecue is definitely this and that, but when you eat it, it becomes its own thing.” Choi operates several restaurants in a collaboration with the Sydell Group (the same company partnering with

COU R T ESY PHO T O

‘ L O S

MGM Resorts to create Park MGM). In the coming months, he’ll spend a lot of time in Las Vegas absorbing the culinary culture on and off the Strip. “When we signed the deal I spent a lot of time studying the Strip and the flow, seeing who’s eating and what they’re eating, and now I’ll be going to Spring Mountain Road and North Las Vegas and all the neighborhoods,” he says. “It’s what I do, just part of my DNA.” –Brock Radke

lique Hospitality has announced two new nightlife venues in development with partners Jason “JRoc” Craig and Ryan Labbe at the Palms, where excitement continues to build as Station Casinos rolls out plans for a total renovation. “The Palms was my first hotel experience in Las Vegas prior to moving here, and the level of hospitality and the experience I had made it my second home,” Labbe says. “To be part of this team now is really exciting.” Their first task: transforming the legendary Ghostbar space into Apex Social Club. “Those are huge shoes to fill, but we are excited to be creating a new

legacy,” Labbe says. He describes Apex as a similar experience to Clique’s Oxford Social Club in San Diego—an alternative to a big Vegas nightclub but not necessarily a lounge. Meanwhile, on the new Palms casino floor, Camden Cocktail Lounge will take over the former lounge space just off the main entrance. Both Apex and Camden are expected to be completed in the spring. Camden will be connected with a new high-limit gaming salon and share similarities to the Clique Lounge at the Cosmopolitan. “But it will be a unique experience all its own,” Labbe says. “We don’t have 3,000 rooms above us [at the Palms], so we’ll be

more cautious with how we program the space and cater it to the Palms clientele.” The new nightlife offerings are expected to aim for a stronger local following than Strip venues, too, especially considering the Palms’ location and demographic history. “If locals aren’t talking about it, why would somebody coming in from out of town want to experience it?” Labbe asks. “Locals always have been and always will be a vital part of our business at every venue.” –Brock Radke

t could be a major spark for a new firestorm of entertainment in Las Vegas: The first dedicated esports arena on the Strip—Esports Arena Las Vegas—is set to open March 22 at Luxor. Allied Esports made the announcement last week during a CES media event and party in collaboration with MGM Resorts International inside an under-construction space that formerly housed LAX Nightclub. The flagship location of Allied’s growing global network of esports properties was announced last year, followed by the December news that chef José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup has joined the project to develop the first esportsinspired food and beverage program.

The multi-level arena will feature a competition stage, an LED video wall, telescopic seating, daily gaming stations, state-of-the-art streaming and television-quality production studios, all coming together to create the definitive championship destination for the fast-growing industry. “We recognized a while ago how esports has been growing and its great trajectory throughout the world,” said Steve Zanella, president of core properties in Las Vegas for MGM Resorts. “It’s great to see the acceptance and recognition it’s getting, and MGM Resorts is dedicated to taking esports throughout our entire organization, not only here in Las Vegas with Allied Esports but throughout the U.S. and

the world.” Allied also unveiled its second mobile esports venue, Esports Arena Drive, an 80-foot, 18-wheel, 35-ton semi-trailer that—not unlike a vehicle you’d find in a video game—unfolds with the push of a button to reveal a competition stage with full production facilities and VIP rooftop lounge. Drive will visit the Daytona 500 in February for a massive tournament and fan experience at one of the largest spectator events in the country. Don’t be surprised to see it return to Las Vegas in the spring for the big grand opening. –Brock Radke

itbull’s resident show at the Axis is back this month, and while you already know you’ll have the time of your life at Mr. 305’s vibrant musical production, you might not know why Las Vegas owns such a special place in his heart. Pitbull told Industry Weekly last summer that he connects the original action on the Las Vegas Strip—when Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel ran the show at the Flamingo—to the gangsters, gamblers and showgirls

that spiced up Havana in the 1950s. Born in Miami to Cuban expats, Pitbull (real name: Armando Christian Pérez) is said to have first embarked on a career in entertainment when, as a young child, he would recite the works of Havana-born poet and literary hero José Martí. Today, with Latin music stronger than ever in Las Vegas and major markets around the world, Pitbull believes his own entertainment roots are linked to the Vegas stage. “You have no clue

what it means for me to be on that stage and share those moments on the Strip, in this iconic city,” he said. Pitbull: Time of Our Lives at the Axis at Planet Hollywood, January 19, 20, 24 & 27. –Brock Radke

hef Paul Liebrandt captivates wherever he goes. Maybe it’s because of the two Michelin stars he earned at New York City’s Corton. Maybe it’s because he’s often recognized from the 2011 documentary A Matter of Taste. Or maybe the fine dining world is just waiting for Liebrandt’s next restaurant project, since he’s been working as a consultant. He recently turned up at Bellagio to participate in chef Roy Ellamar’s Snackwagon Takeover minipopups at Harvest. He’s back this week, cooking a one-night-only, $275 prix fixe dinner at Le Cirque. The menu will

(There will be two seatings for the dinner—5:30 and 9 p.m., for which reservations can be made by calling 866-906-7171.) Maybe it’s just another amazing, only-in-Las-Vegas culinary experience. Or maybe a chef who snagged a three-star review from The New York Times at age 24 doubling down at Bellagio could mean something more?

lassy, edgy and fun, Hexx Kitchen & Bar does it all, from brunch and dinner to dessert and drinks. So it’s no surprise that the restaurant’s latest concept, Alexxa’s Bar, will only add to the allure of such an already cool and unique space.

C HRISTOPHER DE V A RG A S / ST A F F

Described as Hexx’s adjoining “muse,” Alexxa’s brings a bright, millennialized vibe to the Paris, featuring live music throughout the week, a patio with beautiful views of the Bellagio fountains, cocktails, light bites and an outof-this-world selection of nine house-made sangrias. Specialty drinks include the Dark and Stormy Monday—a bold and sweet take on the classic, featuring Cruzan aged rum, ginger beer, crème de banane, Patron XO Café liqueur and coffee beans. For a juicier punch, the Strawberry Fields is made to taste just like a fresh strawberry, and combines Hornitos Blanco, Aperol, balsamic vinegar, egg white and cracked pepper for a sweet and creamy flavor.

Sangria options include the Pinky Swear with Grenache, Asian pear and hibiscus; the Chill is in the Air with Chardonnay, blood orange and seasonal citrus; and the Winter Spiced, a comforting blend of Pinot Noir, stone fruit and spices. Got a group? Share a punch bowl cocktail or pull up a seat on the patio for prime people-watching, or order a round of flights for the table. However you decide to imbibe at Alexxa’s, you’ll be doing it in style. Alexxa’s Bar at Hexx at Paris Las Vegas, 702-331-5100; daily 5 p.m.-5 a.m. –Leslie Ventura

he’s shared the stage with some of the biggest names in music like Rod Stewart and Ricky Martin and performed in casinos and lounges all around the Vegas Valley during the past six years. Now, Lydia Ansel might have found the perfect gig at the Hard Rock Hotel, where she combines her skills as a classically trained violin player and a thoughtful DJ while performing at the Center Bar Wednesdays through Saturdays. “I’ve been at the Hard Rock for about a year and a half, and we’ve turned it into a regular residency that just kind of feels like home,” she says. “I especially love it during the weekends, when there are aerialists [performing] in those hoops over the [casino game] dealers. I’m being entertained while I’m performing, and the girls are just awesome. It adds to that feeling of camaraderie and family here.” A lifelong musician who has worked across the country in symphonies, small ensembles, big band orchestras and tribute bands and with every type of music imaginable, Ansel configured her DJ/violin act after landing in Las Vegas. “Improvisation is a specialty of mine, and I was getting paired with DJs here, so it

just happened naturally,” she says. “I have effects pedals and just started jamming, and being wireless I can walk around and interact with the audience easily.” The flexibility of her unique act has resulted in lots of corporate gigs in Vegas and beyond, and she also regularly performs at Coyote Ugly at New York-New York. The coming year is shaping up to be a big one for Ansel, who could be traveling to Asia and Europe for performances and is developing new collaborative projects here in Las Vegas. “I’ve had different incorporations of what I do, sometimes with go-go dancers or featured singers. One project I’m working on is a duo, with a singer/songwriter/instrumentalist,” she says. “I just love to find new ways to entertain the audience. Anything to dazzle and awe and sparkle.” –Brock Radke WADE VANDERVORT/STAFF
