on the scene WITH BROCK RADKE

Ross Mollison

Producer is expert in variety of life Spiegelworld is the company behind Absinthe, and Ross Mollison is the man behind Spiegelworld. The Australian producer and Spiegelworld founder brought Absinthe to Caesars Palace seven years ago for what was meant to be a six-month run. Spiegelworld has capitalized by launching the comedy Opium this year and making more big plans, including the addition of a giant wormwood tree art installation with 30,000 LED leaves at the Absinthe courtyard and developing another original, We Are Here.

Was 2018 the biggest year yet for Spiegelworld in Las Vegas?

It was certainly the most fun year.

We took over the box office and went to seven days, which means we are now doing 728 shows a year at Absinthe. That’s been really satisfying. And right now we’re building this tree that we hope is going to be transformative.

You make all these plans and have all these dreams and everything takes longer than you want, but slowly, piece by piece, it all comes together.

How important is that question of “what if?” Is that your foundational approach to creating entertainment?

I think we look to do things that are fun foremost and then if we enjoy them, we try to turn it into a business. We were talking earlier about the NoMad Restaurant and (restaurateur) Will Guidara has a system he calls the 95 and 5 rule.

Ninety-five percent of the budget to things that are important and 5 percent is for total whimsy, things that are there for fun. I said we have the same rule except 95 percent goes on fun and 5 percent is the stuff that’s important. We did a workshop in New York for We Are Here and spent so much money, but everybody who came thought it was incredible. I think it’s going to be an enormous hit in Vegas.

12 12.16.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

We Are Here is a disco-themed show, very different from your other Vegas offerings. What is the status of that production?

We’re negotiating with resorts and trying to finalize an opening and hoping to announce that very soon. There’s a lot of enthusiasm for it. It’s such an exciting time in Las Vegas. There are so many opportunities out there.

What size and style of room will best fit that show?

I like to start as small as we possibly can. I think it will end up being around 600. I’m quite convinced the bigger we make it, the better it will be, and I can see in five years time moving into a 3,000-person room. But let’s start small and build intimacy.

That’s what our brand means. We are so focused on the design of everything we do.

Has the expansion of the cast and the schedule made Absinthe stronger?

Well, it means I have more fun.

I have to get around the world a bit more and find the artists a bit more often, but when I see someone great, I’ve got a bigger opportunity to say, “Hey, you want to come to Vegas?” It’s been really fun. These are people who spend their lives working on (their craft) and they are so disciplined, just an extraordinary combination of

art and sports talent. It’s such a great pleasure to go out and meet people and get new ideas. We have 60 or 70 artists in Vegas now, from musicians to acrobats to comedians to variety artists, just a great group of people.

Is it difficult to incorporate those new acts into the show and find space to keep the ones the audience loves most?

It’s a little like running a sports team. When you meet people from middle America saying, “That silk

act was quite interesting,” you have to think that 20 years ago no one knew what a silk act was.

There’s a lot more awareness now, because of Cirque du Soleil and America’s Got Talent, of all these different forms of art, and we’re trying to find new forms.

We try to keep those beloved acts in, but sometimes things and people move on, and like a sports team we are always looking for new talent. Only the clowns stick around forever, the grumpy old clowns.

Around the Strip Brock Radke is an award-winning entertainment reporter who has been covering the city since 2000, and interviews key movers and shakers on his All The Vegas podcast, available at allthevegas.com.

Fun for a cause Mark Shunock first came to Las Vegas as one of the stars of Rock of Ages at The Venetian, but the veteran New York and Los Angeles stage performer quickly connected with the personality he discovered off the Vegas Strip.

He’s part of the cast of Magic Mike Live at the Hard Rock Hotel and fires up the crowds as the in-arena host for Vegas Golden Knights games

at T-Mobile Arena, but his heart is with Mondays Dark, the local benefit shows he produces and hosts twice a month at his own venue, The Space.

Favorite entertainers from various Vegas shows join Shunock for the fifth anniversary edition of Mondays Dark at the Joint at Hard Rock on Dec. 17, where the charitable organizations on next year’s fundraising roster will be announced.

All The Vegas Tape Face “You should be fearful. Every show in Vegas should be fearful of another show coming into their space.

Everyone should be worried there’s going to be a younger, better, funnier show snapping at your heels so you should up your game. If everyone ups their game, it’s going to deliver better results for audiences, audiences will love it more and everyone is happy. And everyone creates more. Creating is great, creating art and comedy is always a good thing. Everyone wins.”

Catch the full conversation with typically silent Harrah’s Las Vegas performer Tape Face in the latest All The Vegas podcast at allthevegas.com.

An Academy Award winner is coming to the Strip. Comedian and actress Mo’Nique, a veteran stand-up star who won an Oscar for her performance in Precious, will perform a limited residency at the Sayers Club at SLS Las Vegas from Jan. 11-Feb. 28.

It finally happened. International superstar Celine Dion ventured out to the big white tent in front of her Strip headquarters at Caesars Palace to witness Absinthe, including a trip backstage after the raucous show for a photo. “I’ve been wearing this T-shirt underneath my suit for over 4,000 shows waiting for this moment,” Instagrammed The Gazillionaire with his Celine selfie.

Flavor Flav dropped into the Paris Theater to catch one of the final show of the year for Salt-N-Pepa’s I Love the ’90s: The Vegas Show. He was pretty easy to spot in the front row, at least for rap duo Kid ’n Play, who gave Flav a shout-out from the stage.

Speaking of popular musical residencies on the Strip, two such shows just announced new dates in 2019. Gwen Stefani, who launched her Just A Girl production at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort this year, extended her run into the fall of 2019 with 21 new shows in July, October and November.

She’s back on the Vegas stage Dec. 27-31. And country favorites Reba McEntire, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn, who have been collaborating at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace since 2015, recently added six shows in June and July.

Dine in Style When you step through the doors of Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar you’re immediately transported back in time to the swank steakhouses of Chicago, where the brand planted its roots. The plush banquet seating, sounds of jazz and swanky decor set the tone for decadent classic American fare.

Controlled Chaos

Take a walk on the wild side during improv comedy game show Miss Behave was working as a waitress in England when she met you; “you” being the audiences she began enchanting through improv comedy. The venues change and the faces never stay the same at The Miss Behave Gameshow, but the contagious sideshow spirit exuded by glittering host Miss Behave and her mad majordomo Tiffany infects crowds in every country she’s held court. Her cardboard-crap aesthetic has caught on and the duchess of mildly degenerate behavior is reaching a new level of confidence in her adopted home of The Back Room inside Bally’s Las Vegas.

“I’ve discovered that the craft here, with the interactive game show, is playing that room,” says Amy Saunders, who becomes possessed

by Miss Behave nightly. “Not a generic idea of what the show should be. You don’t impose it on anyone because it’s interactive, for God’s sake.”

That means if the audience is subdued, she rolls with it. If they catch the fever and clothes start to come off, great. “Every single response is correct because I can’t stand enforced participation,” says Saunders. Miss Behave really doesn’t have to “make” anyone do anything, including the often under-clothed Tiffany. With his moustache waxed out like foot-long sabers, he dances with hype-man abandon and handles the crude signs that indicate the game being played, which may include “Guilty Pleasures Round” and “Vegas on a Budget.” The audience is divided in half between guests with iPhones and guests with

Androids or other phones lesser mortals carry.

Winners score points, quite arbitrarily. Losers score points. Points are scored for no reason at all until the point of points becomes pointless, which is the point.

Then there’s Miss Behave herself, who looks like a rose belongs clenched between her teeth during a tango but prefers to pull them through a hole in her tongue. She’s grown accustomed to Las Vegas and Vegas audiences and plans on sticking around for the long run, evolving her show’s approach and aesthetic like a restaurant revises a menu or a nightclub gets a design makeover. But her vision of customizing each episode to the mood she senses from the audience will remain constant. –Matt Kelemen

Prestidigitator Extraordinaire While the best Las Vegas headliners get standing ovations, renowned illusionist David Copperfield has audiences roaring by the end of his show. That’s because he presents both a classic stage production in terms of showmanship and spectacle, and a progressive entertainment act that as of late has included animated aliens as well as the

vehicles that brought them here. Copperfield is peerless in terms of magical accomplishments, being able to boast of having made the Statue of Liberty disappear and walking through the Great Wall of China.

There’s as much wonder trying to comprehend how Copperfield conceives of tricks as there is in theorizing how he pulls them

off. Copperfield is a chronic dreamer with a nonstop performance schedule, so the work is continuous. He weaves a narrative about the nurturing influence of his father into his show while helping audience members to find the kids within themselves.

Copperfield creates worlds of wonder in more ways than one. –Matt Kelemen

All About the Hang English crooner Matt Goss has made 1 OAK at The Mirage his musical home, transforming the booming nightclub into a sexy showroom. “As a performer, I love the fact that we’re at a venue and property that understands the experience of my guest,” Goss says.

“I want the drinks, the seating, the experience to be premium. It’s a one-stop shop, and if you want to stay and continue your night at 1 OAK and keep your tab open, you can hang out and do your thing.”

And you’ll need that hang, for you may very well be drained of energy after taking in a Goss show.

He’s still performing pop, rock and dance standards, but he’s drilled down with his band for even harderhitting arrangements of those familiar tunes. “The little hits of brass, the counter-melodies on strings, certain nuances with the rhythm section—these things are a real pain when you’re trying to arrange them. But the hard work on the front end allows us to really sit back in the arrangement during the show,” Goss says. “And so the energy is different because the musicality is more intense.” –Brock Radke

Hilarious Evening

Thrilling Spectacle If there were a way to measure Michael Jackson’s continuing popularity after his passing, the atmosphere on any given night at MJ Live is a good indication.

Nearly every seat is filled, with children decked out in fedoras and spangled gloves dancing next to parents’ tables. MJ Live offers fans their own personal Neverland for an evening, and from the opening snatches of “Dangerous” that launch the show, most everyone is enthralled and smiling.

There’s definitely no other show in Las Vegas where a singer decked out like his Bad-era, leather-bound hero does Jacksonstyle dance moves in such close proximity to the folks at the front tables. Backup dancers heighten the excitement to songs such as “Black or White.” Oversized afros are donned as MJ Live transports back to the Jackson 5 years while gangster wear and zombie attire mark “Smooth Criminal” and “Thriller.” –Matt Kelemen

Fans of Chelsea Lately will no doubt be excited to check out The Comedy Lineup Starring John Caparulo. One of her regular contributors, stand-up comedian Caparulo takes aim at the absurdities of everyday life—everything from his impression of an airport employee to how hunting isn’t really a “sport.” (Because both sides have to agree it’s a sport, right?)

Despite his often salty language, Caparulo conveys a genuine sweetness when talking about his family, his dogs, and the other trappings of married life. –Ken Miller Harrah’s, 10 p.m. Thurs.-Sun., $59-$99 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.777.2782

“It’s amazing to be back home at Planet Hollywood, where I began Mindfreak in 2005,” Angel said. “As that series changed the trajectory of magic on television, I believe my new show will do the same for live performance, creating a brand-new immersive experience the world of entertainment has never had.” –Brock Radke Planet Hollywood Resort, 7 p.m. Wed.-Sun.

SPOTLIGHT needed somebody at the last minute so they called The Improvisation, and I happened to be there. The cool thing is I really cut my teeth there as an emcee. That’s how I learned to deal with small crowds and big crowds. Back then it wasn’t the success that is it now. There were only a few people in the audience. We still had to do our show.

How did you end up being an emcee?

Back in the day they used to use a better act, or a stronger act, to emcee. They didn’t have as many great comedians, so if someone didn’t do well they had to continue the show. I don’t know if that’s the case anymore because the quality of the show has gone up, but when I was emcee there was only one show, and it would go from 8 or 9 until 2 in the morning. You would get an incredible amount of stage time for a young comedian, so that’s why I enjoyed emceeing.

And it paid the bills, you know?

Did you have to try out first?

I had to do spots first. I would set my alarm for 1:15 a.m., wake up and go to a set at the Cellar.

I’ve seen Jon Stewart, Colin Quinn and Judy Gold linked to the Comedy Cellar. Is there anyone else who belongs on that short list?

Louis C.K., Dave Attell, Kevin Brennan, Quinn …

Greg Giraldo. People who aren’t around anymore.

Caroline Rhea I remember from back in the day.

Judah Friedlander. Some of these people who have gone on to be very successful started out as late-night comics. I would be emceeing, they would show up at 1:30 in the morning to try and get five or 10 minutes, like (Jim) Gaffigan and Judah.

Mark Cohen

Comedian and emcee keeps the energy high Comedian Mark Cohen keeps the show rolling at the Comedy Cellar at the Rio. As the current primary emcee at the Vegas version of the legendary New York club, Cohen effortlessly maintains the atmosphere between acts that have included Dave Attell, Michael Che, Judah Friedlander, Colin Quinn and Michelle Wolf. Cohen told Las

22 12.16.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

Vegas Magazine’s Matt Kelemen about the early days of the club, and the Comedy Cellar alumni who occasionally stop in for a visit.

Was the Comedy Cellar where you started your career?

It was definitely one of my first clubs. They

I didn’t know Judah Friedlander had been around that long. I really enjoyed his crowd work when he was at the Vegas Comedy Cellar a few months ago. That’s something that you specialize in as well.

It’s funny because that’s what I used to do back in the day at the Cellar but I hadn’t been doing it that much recently. It took me a little while to get that back on my feet again here, doing the crowd work. Now, the shows here are so successful that the same people are coming back.

Sometimes we get people twice in a week to see the show. Audiences here at the Cellar, and I’ve worked in Vegas for years, seem more educated comedically. They know what to do.

Two Times the Laughs Ray Romano and David Spade climbed to the top of television success in the ’90s, but the two funnymen took different treks to the stand-up stage they share at The Mirage as part of the Aces of Comedy Series.

Romano’s stand-up act was family-focused, which set the stage for his successful CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond that ran for nine seasons. Lately Romano has been co-starring with Chris O’Dowd in Epix series Get Shorty, and was featured in the 2017 hit sleeper-comedy The Big Sick. Las Vegas is one of the only places to catch Romano’s contemporary approach to stand-up.

Spade started out as a writer for Saturday Night Live before joining the cast, becoming known for his trademark sarcastic, dismissive characters. He went on to star in comedy films such as Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, Joe Dirt and Grown Ups as well as sitcoms Just Shoot Me and Rules of Engagement.

“This production is a huge Christmas extravaganza and a labor of love for me and my family,” she said. “We will have a live five-piece band, four beautiful dancers, five incredible back-up singers, an 8-foot Frosty the Snowman and some 20-foot Christmas trees. ... The music is going to

Suzanne will perform in the show along with veteran musical director Joe Escriba. Las Vegas magician Murray Sawchuck and his sidekick Douglas “Lefty” Leferovich will also hit the stage for a special appearance. And, as if there were any doubt, St. Nick himself will make an entrance, and Santa hats will be tossed out into the audience as a fun holiday gesture. –Penny Levin Westgate Las Vegas, 8 p.m. Dec. 21, $32.65 plus tax and fee. 800.222.5361

Topgolf Las Vegas (4627 Koval Lane, 702.933.8458) combines nightlife and daylife.

Magic for All Illusionist Mac King is nearly as practiced at the art of sly innuendo that goes over adolescent heads as he is at sleight-of-hand. “That’s kind of the thing I fought over the whole 17 years,” said the man behind the Mac King Comedy Magic Show. “Because it’s in the afternoon, the misconception, I think, is that it’s a kids’ show. It’s a show designed for adults, that kids like.”

King expertly walks the line of risqué humor without crossing it, keeping more mature audience members laughing while the younger set

trys to figure out how that rope he keeps snipping keeps reconstituting itself. It might be the goldfish he pulls from his mouth that helps create the impression that his magic is kid-friendly. It was honing his craft that led to his iconoclastic approach to magic, and like a rising stand-up comic he tailored his material with an eye on the future.

“While I really love filthy, dirty, comedy, I didn’t want to put anything in my show that I couldn’t do on TV, in the hopes that someday it would be on TV,” King laughed. –Matt Kelemen

An Iconic Meal Although Wolfgang Puck moved his longtime restaurant, Spago, from its original Vegas location at The Forum Shops at Caesars to Bellagio, the menu retains the favorite dishes that have amassed their own following over the years. You’ll find signatures like veal Wienerschnitzel with marinated cucumbers and fingerling potato salad, the dill cream-topped smoked salmon pizza and delicately flavored, seasonally perfect pastas. But there are also a few new twists.

Baja kanpachi sashimi is an all-new creation from Spago’s executive chef Mark Andelbradt, tiles of fresh amberjack with pickled radish, creamy avocado, yuzu gel and hibiscus-infused ponzu. –Brock Radke

A Certain Style In case you missed Clint Holmes earlier this year during his Soundtrack engagement with Earl Turner at Westgate Las Vegas, he’ll be home for the holidays presenting seasonal performances at Myron’s Cabaret Jazz inside The Smith Center. Holmes for the Holidays features the dynamic performer singing a selection of holiday classics in his signature style. In addition to timeless seasonal compositions, Holmes is well versed in the Great American Songbook as well as the Lennon-McCartney canon, interpreting songs in a way that is inimitable on the entertainment scene.

Holmes became a national figure when he scored a blockbuster hit in 1973 with his single “Playground in My Mind.” He went on to become Joan Rivers’ sideman during the late comedian’s mid-’80s talk show, then had a syndicated television program in New York before settling in Las Vegas. Holmes carries forward the legacy of the all-around entertainer, often evoking the onstage style and spirit of vintage Sammy Davis Jr. Holmes, who earned critical acclaim for his latest release Rendezvous, heads to venerable N.Y. venue Birdland Jazz Club for a string of shows before he heads home once again to ring in New Years Eve at Sam’s Town. –Matt Kelemen

In Perfect Harmony

Staying Sharp It’s been nearly three years since Edge Steakhouse began serving world-class cuts at Westgate Las Vegas, and the menu offers many reasons to return.

Start the meal with a menu specialty, the wagyu beef tartare with Kaluga caviar, truffle aioli and beef fat toast, topped with a quail egg. Then, enjoy one of the best ribeye steaks in the entire city, or opt instead for the Wild Isles salmon, beef Wellington or lemon and herb roasted chicken.

There’s also a three- and five-course wine pairing menus.

Dessert is quite the indulgence, too, with selections like the Tahitian vanilla crème brulee with shortbread cookies and fresh berries or the apple tart tatin with crème fraiche sorbet, puff pastry and caramel sauce. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff

Boyz II Men have honed their show into one of the most entertaining musical residencies; it’s a finely tuned example of what this style of Vegas production should be. When the trio returns, they’ll honor their longtime fans with pristine performances of their biggest hits, from “End of the Road” to “I’ll Make Love to You,” but never fail to impress with extra energy and a few surprises. These are singers who have kept their unequaled instruments in peak condition and they are just doing what they do, which is simply being great entertainers in Vegas. –Brock Radke The Mirage, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 28-29, starting at $49.99 plus tax and fee. 702.792.7777

ENTERTAINMENT

An Enduring Legacy

The Grass Roots has maintained a loyal following despite not releasing new material since 1982 and despite undergoing more makeovers than a department store cosmetics counter. No fewer than 13 adaptations of the band are pictured on the group’s website, and 44 musicians in all are credited as band members.

The lone constant for much of The Grass Roots’ existence—Rob Grill, who joined in 1967, a year after the band formed—served as the bassist, vocalist, songwriter, producer and leader until his death in July 2011. Before his passing, though, Grill had assembled a lineup intended to keep the music of The Grass Roots alive for years to come—bassist Mark Dawson, drummer Joe Dougherty, guitarist Dusty Hanvey and keyboardist Larry Nelson, who continue to proudly perform from coast to coast, delighting fans with hits like “Sooner or Later,” “Midnight Confessions” and “Let’s Live for Today.” –Matt Jacob

True Throwback

The 1970s-styled Corduroy has been a welcome return to the easy-access, straight-ahead night at the bar approach.

There’s a couch-filled conversation pit from a bygone era, a special “lightbox” room for group selfies and vintage TVs, speakers and microwave ovens serving as art installations. And, of course, a great beer selection and both specialty and classic cocktails. –Brock Radke 515 E. Fremont St., 4 p.m.-late daily. 702.553.2548

Hearty Helpings The second location of Shinya Maru Ramen & Izakaya (following a Hard Rock Hotel-adjacent spot on Paradise Road) brings something to Fremont East that the district has needed for a while: an inexpensive, yet hearty and satisfying fill-up, and a worthy base for a night of ambitious drinking. The tonkatsu broth is creamy, the thin noodles are perfectly cooked and there isn’t an item on the menu priced above $11. For those of us who have logged long hours in Fremont East—soldiering through music festivals, or squiring visiting family around—Shinya Maru is a gift.

The ramens have too-clever names—the classic tonkatsu is called Shoyu What Tonkatsu Is ($10)—but what they lack in subtlety, they make up for in flavor. Killing Miso Softly ($11) is tonkatsu-infused with miso and chili oil and loaded with green onions, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and half a seasoned egg; it’ll power you through a night at Corduroy and then some.

And a menu of izakaya bites runs from the expected (deep-fried, chewy chicken karaageserved with a sriracha aioli, $6) to the left-field (somehow, this Japanese quick-casual joint serves a tasty shrimp tempura taco, $6).

And should these savory delights inspire a thirst that can’t wait for the next location to your itenary, the bar serves sake, Sapporo and Asahi on draft, and fruit-laden sangrias and margaritas, because why not? –Geoff Carter 520 E.

This Ain’t Your Momma’s Brunch Turn up the fun on a classic weekend experience For five hours every Saturday, Lavo Italian Restaurant & Lounge transforms into a brunch of bacchanalian proportions. Making people merry since 2011, the Lavo Party Brunch is part food, part cocktails and all over-the-top fun.

Let’s start with decadent menu items like almond-crusted French toast with cinnamon and panettone, lemon ricotta waffles with glazed apples and whipped yogurt and white polenta pancakes with whipped Nutella butter and hazelnut crunch. For those looking for lighter fare, avocado toast with poached cage-free egg and Calabrian chili or roasted beet salad with goat cheese and sun-dried tomato vinaigrette are tasty options.

There are Lavo’s classic Italian specialties, too, including pastas, pizzas and meatballs. There

30 12.16.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

are raw bar options and indulgent selections like the seafood plateau grande with jumbo shrimp, oysters, Little Neck clams, whole lobster, tuna ceviche and more.

Spirits flow aplenty at the party brunch, and specialty cocktails can be ordered by the pitcher or in brunch bowls. But heads really spin when your group orders one of the experiential packages to enjoy, like the ultimate bloody Mary. This behemoth comes in a giant ice goblet and is filled with Tito’s Handmade vodka, San Marzano tomatoes, cold-pressed celery and lemon juices, aged balsamic, horseradish and spices, then it’s filled to the brim with 18 shrimp, a pound of king crab and crispy pancetta. Other experiential packages include a Belgian waffle sundae with

16 scoops of ice cream and assorted candy and topped with a bottle of Avion espresso liqueur.

There are also champagne packages, and the bottle presentation parade comes complete with cocktail servers holding sparklers while they dance on over to your table.

Speaking of dancing: To your right and to your left, and everywhere in between at Lavo Party Brunch, are people up on their tables dancing the sunlight away. Yes, you can dance on tables while live DJs spin everything from hip-hop and top 40 to EDM. The strobe lights, confetti cannons and glow sticks add to the nightclubvibe fun. And this Saturday, expect some special themed surprises as the brunch celebrates a festive holiday edition! –Kiko Miyasato

Pork belly

Settle down to good times at Center Cut Steakhouse

By JASON HARRIS Photos by ANTHONY MAIR

32 12.16.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

It’s not the newest kid on the block and that’s just fine with us. Center Cut Steakhouse, like the casino that houses it, walks a line between throwback and modern. The destination upscale eatery in the Flamingo Las Vegas feels as if it could have easily housed the likes of Bugsy Siegel and other slick-suited, fedora-wearing gangsters, you think as you sit in the formal dining room. Then again, maybe you’ll catch a hot DJ chomping down on a steak before a late-night performance.

Start with a nice spritzer to whet the appetite. Belvedere vodka, Cointreau, peach schnapps, simple syrup, lemon juice and sparkling wine combine in this light beverage, which doesn’t overwhelm the palate before the meal.

But if you are looking for something sweeter, the Cosmo-Bellini with Absolut Citron vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, peach purée and La Marca prosecco will surely satisfy.

During happy hour, from 5-7 p.m. daily, guests can grab some quality appetizers. Mush-

room crostini leads the Flamingo way. The mushrooms 5-10 p.m. daily. are coated in a red702.784.8821 wine demi-glace.

Smoky blue cheese offsets the sweetness of the demi and toasty bread offers the textural contrast you need to get max enjoyment from the dish. You also can’t go wrong with deep-fried oysters served on the half shell. The tang of house-made pickles and lemon caper aioli makes this dish pop.

Then amble on over to the dining room and get your meat game on with the pork belly appetizer, basically thick, fancy bacon with a flavorful balsamic bourbon glaze. Crunchy chicharrons adorn the plate for textural contrast, and it’s all served over herbed polenta, which is so tasty it should be offered as a side on its own.

A rustic wedge salad earns originality points with dark red Kumato tomatoes strewn about the plate. Iceberg lettuce, Maytag blue cheese and chipotle bacon complete the base of the dish. The addition of pickled onions separates this version from others.

But you came here for steak, so let’s get to it.

There are prime, 28-day wet-aged and 45-day dry-aged cuts to choose from. Dry-aged is an

excellent option here, with thick marbling on choice steaks adding extra meatiness. The 18-ounce cowboy bone-in ribeye is a serious piece of meat, prepared simply to let the steak do its own talking. It’s big enough for two, too.

Treat yourself to an add-on lobster tail, which comes with clarified butter and lemon but really doesn’t need either as it’s already delicious.

Sides include grilled asparagus, a medley of wild mushrooms that retain a firm texture, crusted mac and cheese (because why wouldn’t

you want that?) and a loaded baked potato that could be a meal on its own.

For dessert, do not overlook fried apple pie, with vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce.

The candy bar features a frozen fudge brownie, milk chocolate crunch and peanut butter nougat, covered in chocolate sauce and smoked salt. That salt makes the whole thing.

Whether you’re old school or entirely of this moment, Center Cut Steakhouse offers meals worthy of any time.

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

Michael Quagge

Lead bartender wants to put everyone in a holiday mood Michael Quagge, lead VIP bartender at Green Valley Ranch’s Whiskey Beach (the property’s pool bar), is looking forward to getting everyone into a holiday spirit this month as the pool area transforms into Winter’s Village, complete with holiday-themed cocktails. It’s also a transformation of sorts for Quagge, who just a few years ago was working as a firefighter and EMT. Born in Oahu, Hawaii, Quagge has spent the majority of his life in Vegas, receiving certifications as an EMT and Nevada Firefighter 1. While working an EMT shift at a dayclub—where he was stationed just in case anyone needed medical assistance—Quagge got a glimpse of the pool club lifestyle, and was hooked.

When he turned 21, Quagge applied at a casting call for the Hard Rock Hotel’s Rehab, getting a job as a barback. During his time there,

34 12.16.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

he made many friends, some of whom taught him bartending skills. “There were world-class bartenders there, and I learned a lot from them.”

A year later, he was hired as a bartender at Green Valley Ranch. Within a year he had been promoted to lead VIP bartender. He’s very modest about his success. “Essentially what I do is, I’m just another bartender. These are all my friends I’ve been working with for a long time.

It’s a family, and so basically my job is to lead by example. I offer suggestions, but I just try to be the best example to have everyone follow.”

His favorite part of the job is “just being out here, talking to the guests who come up.

Sometimes they’re going through a rough time.

Sometimes they’re going through a great time.

I’m just here to help everybody have as great a time as possible.” –Ken Miller

Winter’s Village at Green Valley Ranch was so successful that it’s being expanded to Red Rock Resort this year as well.

Featuring outdoor ice rinks and holiday-inspired activities, it’s a great way to celebrate the holidays.

And The Whiskey Beach at Green Valley Ranch offers a great variety of holiday-inspired cocktails to help you get in the mood, including the Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice, a clever variation on the Sparkplug cocktail.

It’s a refreshing blend of cold-brew coffee, Baileys Pumpkin Spice, Ketel One vodka and simple syrup.

“It creates a nice, classic, festive feeling,” Quagge says. –KM

Game Wisely

Brew hall offers great options for sports fans There is no hotter hot spot on the Strip than The Park, before, during and after a Vegas Golden Knights game at T-Mobile Arena. The comfy promenade offering plenty of dining and drinking options is packed with hockey fans looking for a good time, and they always find it at Beerhaus (3784 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.692.2337), an expansive classic brew hall with an unparalleled selection of suds, tasty snacks, live music and fun and games indoors and out.

If you’re cheering for the visiting team, that’s OK; This is your opportunity to sample some of Southern Nevada’s favorite beers and this is a great place to do it as the latest and greatest from Big Dog’s, Bad Beat, Banger Brewing and Joseph James are on tap. Pair your pale ale with a rotisserie pork sandwich with spicy mustard, or that winter stout with the Beerhaus cheddarwurst brat topped with smoky bacon and onion jam. No matter what happens on the ice, you’ve made a winning choice. –Brock Radke

The new trend is celebrity chefs opening Las Vegas restaurants off the Strip, and when Scott Conant did just that with Masso Osteria (Red Rock Resort, 702.797.7097), locals were beyond thrilled.

No one was expecting Masso to unveil a brilliant new Sunday brunch option that combines a hearty buffet format (with antipasto, pasties, 100-layer lasagna and a carving station serving prime rib, porchetta and more) and made-toorder excellence starring panettone French toast, lemon ricotta pancakes and a fennel sausage and peppers panuozzo sandwich. –BR

#trending The pork tenderloin at Carson Kitchen (124 S. Sixth St., 702.473.9523) is an idea that chef Scott Simon has been playing with for years. Finally unveiled for the fall season, it features a pretzel crust made with whole grain mustard, sage and maple syrup. Candied pretzels are sprinkled on the plate as a playful garnish and given a spicy kick with the restaurant’s own “killer spice blend,” a top-secret mixture that those familiar with the famous crispy chicken skins appetizer will recognize. –Rob Kachelriess

The Book at The Linq

Food, fun and a lot of football

50 12.16.18 LasVegasMagazine.com

By NINA KIng

It’s been a season of plenty here in Las Vegas. And by plenty, we mean plenty of places to hang out while catching a game (or all the games, depending on the venue).

You’ll find the newest place at Treasure Island, in the Golden Circle Sports Bar (702.894.7111), where you will find TVs everywhere you look, a 24-foot-longby-5-foot-tall video wall, kiosks for sports betting, 20 beers on tap including Kilt Lifter, cocktails and bar food (bacon cheddar poutine tater kegs, anyone?). Sports memorabilia is all over the place, including boxing gloves signed by Muhammad Ali and Jake LaMotta.

In The Book at The Linq (702.370.7736), watching a game has gotten a whole lot more fun.

The new book includes a betting desk, food truck, “fan caves,” and a neat pour-your-own-beer wall with 24 beverages available, including seasonal craft brews. The fan caves are the ultimate cool, with huge TVs facing a comfy couch and chairs—if you feel like playing a little Madden NFL, there are video games and consoles available. From a tablet, order cocktails and Sticky Chicken food truck’s lauded burgers, wings and fried green tomatoes. You can play games on the tablet, too—even your napkins have a game built in!

Mondays at Lagasse’s Stadium (The Palazzo, 702.607.2665), you can get menu specials inspired by the teams playing that night. This week on Dec. 17, you can find a Saints-inspired seafood gumbo and Panthersinspired Carolina pulled pork. Next week on Dec. 24, there’s a Denver Broncos-inspired lamb tenderloin sandwich and chicken-fried rice for the Raiders. The space here is huge, with raked seating and screens surrounding, so you have a great view of the action.

Also on Mondays, check out the Topgolf (4627 Koval Lane,

Golden Circle Sports Bar

702.933.8458) football viewing parties. Viewings are free, and seating is first-come, first-served.

During the viewings you can also participate in free cornhole tournaments, where you can win prizes. Register your two-man team at topgolf.com/lasvegas.

At Umami Burger, Beer Garden & Sports Book (SLS Las Vegas, 702.761.7614), on Sundays from 10 a.m-4 p.m., try the Game Day Buffet for $24.95. Get burgers, hot dogs, salad, coleslaw, fries, wings and build-your-own nachos. Plus, play games like foosball, cornhole, and beer pong.

The Sayers Club on property hosts viewing parties Saturday and Sunday, and reservations are encouraged (702.761.7621).

Over at Westgate, Football Central hosts a huge party in the International Theater every Sunday. Get game-day food, hit up the betting stations and get a few drinks, all in the company of other fans. In the renowned SuperBook (it is huge!), there’s even a radio broadcast during games. For VIP booths and pods, make reservations at 702.732.5755.

Gather your group at the The Still (The Mirage, 702.692.8455) on game days, where you can take advantage of packages for four or more people starting at $180.

Twenty-seven flat-screen TVs scattered throughout make sure you’ll get a view no matter where you are. There’s even an Airstream kitchen parked in the middle.

Viewing parties for both college and pro games at Cabo Wabo Cantina in Miracle Mile Shops (Planet Hollywood Resort, 702.385.2226) mean $23 Dos Equis beer buckets; for Sunday night games from 5-9 p.m., get five shots and five beers for $55.

For a more exclusive party place, reserve the VIP lounge.

Hang out at the House of Blues Restaurant & Bar (Mandalay Bay, 702.632.7607) on Sundays starting at 1 p.m. during the season. It’s weekly football parties feature $25 domestic and $30 import beer buckets, plus a variety of weekly prizes and endof-season giveaways with prizes like mini iPads and Las Vegas Raiders tickets.

Drum Up Fun

If you’ve seen The Lego Movie, then you know the song “Everything Is Awesome.” You can take that same attitude to Blue Man Group (Luxor, 702.262.4400), though at times you might feel compelled to replace “awesome” with “awkward”—but in a very good way. The trio appears wide-eyed and expressionless at first, and are soon perplexed by a bag of marshmallows and a jar of gumballs, which
