NOTES

From the Editor Are You Buying?

Before I say this, I need you all to promise that you won’t judge us: We here at Las Vegas Magazine are HUGE fans of drink!

Beer, wine, bourbon, vodka, gin, Scotch, rye, cocktails, draft cocktails, draft beer, barrel-aged cocktails, ciders, absinthe ... if it contains alcohol, sign us up! As we hit the Strip in order to break down the best ways for you to spend your week here, we encounter plenty of opportunities to enjoy the latest drink trend. And yes, darn it, we take advantage of those opportunities.

This is Vegas, after all!

This week’s issue is a celebration of one of the most delicious spirits on the planet: Tequila. Associate editor Kiko Miyasato has assembled an exhaustive lineup of some of the best spots to find it, along with killer cocktails each one offers (“9 Tequila Hot Spots,” p. 30). If you haven’t yet experienced this agave-based juice, or if you’re a serious connoisseur looking for something different, this is a must-read.

And with Mother’s Day this week, since Mom’s been so good to you, it might be time to return the favor by planning a special event—but this time, add alcohol!

Miyasato clues you in on some of the best places to take Mom for a sip—or two—on the Strip (“Happy Mother’s Day!” p. 22).

And the good times in Vegas don’t stop with just excellent spirits. This week’s

issue is packed with other valuable information, including: • A look at the upcoming Caesars Palace performance by stand-up comedian Chris Rock, fresh off his controversial Oscars stint (“Honest Take,” p. 10); • The opening of yet another excellent attraction at AREA15, Illuminarium, which takes “immersive entertainment” to the next level (“Light Fantastic,” p. 12); • A Q&A with Tom Zaller, the CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, which is constantly finding new ways to bring the entire world experience to the Las Vegas Strip (“Creating Stories,” p. 14); • The return of Silk Sonic, fresh off its GRAMMY Awards sweep, to its massively successful residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM (“Winning!” p. 40); • An introduction to Francesco Lafranconi , vice president of beverage and hospitality culture at Carversteak at Resorts World Las Vegas, the subject of this week’s Friends with Benefits feature ( p. 20). Then go enjoy a meal there and say hi! He’d love to meet you.

Before you proceed and enjoy the rest of this jam-packed issue, a quick note: As much as all of us here enjoy a drink, we are always aware of the dangers of drinking and driving. So please enjoy yourself, but keep it safe out there and call and Uber.

Continued Legacy It seems hard to imagine, but David Copperfield is approaching his fifth decade of amazing audiences with his larger-than-life illusions. And he’s entering his third decade as one of the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic entertainers.

If you haven’t yet been to a Copperfield show, know this: The illusions are grand.

They’re not just immensely visual, with lots of lights and dramatic music, they’re often downright emotionally powerful. But mixed in with all this is a genuine sense of fun.

Copperfield is very aware of his legend looming large, and takes plenty of potshots at it, keeping the audience laughing and relaxed. As great as your memories of Copperfield have been over the years, get ready for a whole new set after seeing this show. –Ken Miller

Honest Take

Comedian’s subjects still resonate Chris Rock was already one of humor’s high priests when he stepped onstage at the Academy Awards to present the Oscar for Best Documentary and told the joke that made television history. By the time Questlove walked away with the gold statuette for his film Summer of Soul Rock had been sanctified by his peers in standup as well as a good percentage of his fans. One small slap from the Fresh Prince has resulted in a giant leap in ticket sales for Rock and placed him on the throne as comedy’s reigning king.

This means additional dates added to an already heavy performance itinerary, a welcome turn of events for Rock fans, who deified him

decades ago but didn’t buy tickets before the Oscars. Rock came up in the comedy industry of the ’80s, his youth setting him apart from peers influenced by Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy.

Rock made a memorable splash as Rib Joint Customer in I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, became known to film audiences as hapless Pookie in 1991’s New Jack City and to television audiences as activist commentator Nat X during his stint on Saturday Night Live.

Everything he did in his career prior to 1999 seemed like a warm-up upon the release of his HBO special Bigger & Blacker. Rock was on point, at the peak of his abilities and brutally honest

as he addressed themes of race, hypocrisy and social responsibility. It placed him on everybody’s top five list of favorite comedians well beyond the release of his 2014 sleeper-hit film Top Five and led to numerous invitations to appear at the Oscars.

He may understandably turn those down more often in the future, giving him flexibility to spend more time on stand-up stages. Cancel culture and comedy culture are currently at odds, and both stand-up artists and audiences need an inspirator that can shift societal attention with one joke. They need Chris Rock. –Matt Kelemen Caesars Palace, May 6-7, ticketmaster.com

Seek Serenity With beautiful, upscale surroundings, the Red Rock Spa by Well & Being is a retreat focusing on relaxation and rejuvenation. Try the Doctor Babor Prescription Facial to focus on individual skin challenges or the Recovery Massage, which uses a special blend of essential oils to calm the body, promote circulation and relieve stress.

The spa also offers a wide variety of exercise classes, and features an open-air swimming pool surrounded by lush greenery and individual cabanas. –Kiko Miyasato Red Rock Resort, 702.797.7878

As you might expect from the name, Genting Palace is, indeed, an elegant establishment. The restaurant’s exterior and entrance resemble a beautiful black lacquer box, complete with red and gold, and jade-colored compartments.

To one side is a large, pleasant bar area for handcrafted cocktails. In the dining area, light green upholstery on chairs and banquettes complement botanical-themed panels framed on the walls.

Seafood is the focus of many dishes here, but there are many other options as well. For your appetizer, try Sichuan hot and sour soup with mushrooms and tofu, or braised bird’s nest soup with crab meat and ham. For entrées, choose from the live menu, where you’ll find grouper, red cod and goby in your choice of preparation (steamed in one of two ways or deep fried), plus Australian and Maine lobster and Washington and Alaskan crab. Other seafood entrées include XO shrimp, braised seafood tofu and stewed whole fish (both signature dishes by chef Soon Lok Ooi). There are lots of poultry, pork and beef dishes, too, from stir-fried shredded beef to a wok-fried A5 Japanese wagyu in black pepper sauce. –Nina King

Momentous Must-See One of the most spectacular shows to ever hit the Las Vegas Strip is back! KÀ tells the story of a brother and sister who are separated by war, overcoming all obstacles put in their way until they are reunited.

Cirque du Soleil seriously pulls out all the stops in telling this tale, from the magnificent theater (which allows the cast to freely roam and climb around) to the costumes and the music.

The centerpiece of the production is the stage itself, which is constantly in a state of movement, changing from a sandy beach to a rocky cliff within seconds. KÀ requires the re-creation of many different tableaus, and whether it’s a ship being tossed on the ocean or a makeshift plane flying over the audience, KÀ delivers the goods. Get swept away. –Ken Miller MGM Grand, 702.531.3826

Light Fantastic

Striking attraction takes guests to a whole other space The Illuminarium was too big to fit inside AREA15’s main building. The latest immersive venue to open at the experiential campus just west of the Strip needed 36,000 square feet for its next-level, cinematographically interactive destination, necessitating a building of its own just beyond AREA15’s LIFTOFF attraction.

The Illuminarium’s colorful exterior contrasts strikingly with its surroundings. Inside, a menu of programs is offered in the lobby. Once a program is chosen, a warm-up room, divided by two rows of plush white chairs that would not look out of place in a Stanley Kubrick film, provides a preview of what is to come. Floral imagery from its O’KEEFFE: One Hundred Flowers program can

be projected onto walls and segue into an Apollo rocket launch lifted from SPACE: A Journey to the Moon & Beyond.

The main course is a larger adjoining sensein-surround venue with a floor that rumbles with thunder during WILD: A Safari Experience. “Awe-inspiring” doesn’t do justice to the 360-degree scenes and sounds of savannahs and rainforests, where gorillas emerge from the mists of every sightline. Flowers carpet the floor during the tribute to Georgia O’Keeffe, and stars move with visitors’ footsteps as the enormity of our solar system is manifested during SPACE. All that exploration can work up an appetite, effectively assuaged at companion culinary ex-

perience Lumin Café & Kitchen. The restaurant’s warm, inviting atmosphere was designed by the Rockwell Group, and the menu by cuisine visionaries Elizabeth Blau and chef Kim Canteenwalla.

It’s the height of casual dining with an outdoor patio and touches of class such as exquisitely prepared burgers, Parmesan and truffle fries, and mac and cheese with Ritz cracker crust.

The possibilities of hosting viewing parties for major sports events in the Illuminarium’s technologically forward environment are well-apparent, and the options for adults-only Illuminarium After Dark: Nightlife Reimagined are inviting. It’s virtual reality without eyewear or vertiginous reactions, and its time has come. –Matt Kelemen

The Height of Elegance For decades, diners have been heading to Top of the World restaurant in The STRAT to celebrate special occasions—the entire 104th floor restaurant actually revolves 360 degrees during your meal. It makes a spectacular place to pop the question, with plush seating and gorgeous views; there are even wedding packages available to help you plan the moment. (And a menu of handcrafted cocktails, like the trendy espresso martini, will take the edge off any preproposal nervousness).

The upscale steakhouse-style menu is nearly as fabulous as the view, with lump crab fritters, lobster bisque and lobster chop salad to start. Grill choices range from a 10-ounce Creekstone Farms rib cap to the 22-ounce Prime bone-in marinated ribeye. A double-cut pork chop, Icelandic salmon, loup de mer, and vegan stuffed poblanos give you plenty of other options to choose from. If you want something really over the top to add to your celebration, try the whole lobster mac and cheese (featuring an entire pound of lobster).

Warm butter cake is billed as a “Top of the World favorite,” and it’s also one of this writer’s faves. The berries atop add just the right amount of freshness to the fluffy cake. –Nina King The STRAT, 702.380.7711

Call of the Wild It’s a nice respite from the buzz of the Las Vegas Strip, and it’s an attraction that many might not know about, but everyone really should.

The Wildlife Habitat can be found on the Flamingo’s 4-acre tropical grounds, and guests can stroll, stop and take a break and take in the beauty of nature and its inhabitants. You’ll come across flocks of Chilean flamingos, swans, ducks, koi fish, turtles, pelicans, sacred ibis and more, instilling a little peace in the heart of the of the city. Best of all, this little slice of heaven is free and available most any time of the day. Just remember: Take some pictures. –Kiko Miyasato Flamingo, 702.733.3349

Comic Relief Comedy is subjective, that’s true. Everyone has their definition of what’s funny and what’s … not so funny. But if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that everybody loves Brad Garrett.

And if you chose this week to check out Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, you scored!

Not only will you see some of the greatest up-and-coming comedians, you’ll get to see the man himself perform! Garrett, the beloved star of Everybody Loves Raymond

ent shows and (this one) is all about places and subjects and moments that are rarely captured—you just don’t see photographs of these things. It’s some of the rarest photography in the entire collection, which is saying something.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel quite a bit and my favorite place in the world is Siem Reap in Cambodia. It’s just majestic and unique, and there are photos of one of the famous temples there in the exhibit. You see that and you just want to go to that place. And we also do these large, immersive experiences with video projection, not just photography on the wall, but something that makes you feel like you’re inside the image.

“Immersive” is definitely the new buzzword, whether it’s a production show on the Las Vegas Strip or a presentation like these.

Our industry has received a lot of attention in the last few years because when live shows were closed, we had gallery spaces you could come to and be socially distant and still have a couple hundred people. And that’s one of the reasons (the industry) has become more digitally aware and there are more tech-driven experiences out there. When I did the first traveling Van Gogh experience in France, it was very expensive, and now that technology is basically on every corner.

Creating Stories

CEO brings the world to Vegas A 25-year veteran of the entertainment and exhibition industries, Tom Zaller has helped create and bring some of the most enthralling sights and surroundings ever witnessed in Las Vegas—immersive experiences before that term became trendy. As president and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, the impact of Zaller and his team can be currently examined on the Strip at REAL BODIES and National Geographic’s Rarely Seen at Bally’s, and an innovative new project is slated for the coming months, also at that destination: The Cabinet of Curiosities. Zaller discussed the excitement and challenges that come with the job.

People visiting Las Vegas aren’t coming to be educated, they’re going to have fun and a real entertainment experience. Maybe “education” is not the right word. We want to give people stories to tell. For example, with Rarely Seen, you may not be interested in photography at all or understand how photographers spend their entire lives trying to capture this moment that happens in a millisecond. But once you see those images, you’ll be telling your friends at dinner, “Did you know these guys went to the North Pole and did this and that to get this image?” That storytelling is one of the reasons we do what we do.

How do you go about creating that perfect mix of education and entertainment that makes these experiences stand out?

That National Geographic exhibit is pretty new. What makes it so special?

Your next Vegas project is going to take things in a different direction. Tell us about The Cabinet of Curiosities.

I’ve had this idea since 2005, because I went to a museum and saw what was called a cabinet of curiosities, if you can picture an old wooden display case with big glass windows and a little vignette inside, or some oddity from around the world. It doesn’t have to be a physical object, it could be the sentence inside a fortune cookie.

So for our project, there’s a bar so you can come in and get a drink, and you’re drawn in because there’s odd, unique furniture, and a little something for everybody to just keep discovering and find these unique moments. And in the corner of the space there’s a room full of locks and safes, and that’s the entrance to the speakeasy.

You have to decipher something our locksmith has placed there, and that gets you access to this room where we’re doing specially crafted cocktails, and again, telling a story.

It’s Magic

Beloved artist returns to hit residency Everybody loves Barry Manilow. Resisting his music is futile. Manilow wrote songs that made the whole world sing, then had a hit written by someone else titled “I Write the Songs.” Manilow went from playing piano for Bette Midler at the Continental Bathhouse in the early ’70s to garnering a GRAMMY nomination for his production work on her album The Divine Miss M two years later.

Manilow wrote jingles for Band-Aid, McDonald’s and State Farm that became iconic before he became famous. He had feathered hair before Farrah Fawcett became famous. He was signed to a record deal by Tony Orlando, before Orlando became famous as a television star, and

matched with a group of musicians called Featherbed. He wrote “Could It be Magic” with Orlando before becoming a solo star. Donna Summer turned “Could It Be Magic” into a disco hit in 1976. In 1977, ABC broadcast the first of four hit Manilow-starring television specials.

Barry Manilow lives to work and perform.

He graze diets because the human body needs calories to be productive and he’s so focused he might otherwise forget to eat. Still, he would likely know if you raided his wardrobe.

His Fanilows are arguably the most faithful and considerate superfans any artist could acquire. Fanilows have contagious enthusiasm that supercharges every concert.

Yes, he plays all the hits. Yes, people cry during “Mandy.” Yes, “Copacabana” is part of the setlist and gets everyone on their feet to dance.

Yes, Manilow has surprises for fans catching his long-running residency at Westgate Las Vegas Resort for the first time.

At 78, he has the apparent energy of a decades-younger Barry Manilow. He’s a great storyteller. His latest endeavor is a musical, Harmony, that opened in March for a limited engagement at National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene in New York. He made it through the rain, kept his world protected, kept his point of view, and found himself respected. Now he’s a living legend. –Matt Kelemen

Charm for Days

Size Matters Can’t find a seat at the bar? You’ll most likely not have that problem if you head to Longbar, which stretches the entire length of the hotel—hence its name. It was the city’s longest bar before sister property Circa Resort & Casino built Mega Bar. But Longbar has lost none of its allure, offering guests plenty of seating, multiple flat-screen TVs for sports viewing, nine beers on tap and some of the best flair bartenders around. And don’t be surprised to see The D hotel owner Derek Stevens make an appearance! –Kiko Miyasato The D, 800.274.5825

Head to Buddy V’s Ristorante for a relaxed Italian meal in a charming setting. Tables are set simply, with white plates and checked napkins that channel the classic Italian restaurant. The dining room wraps around an open kitchen as large windows bring the light and the views are impressive day and night. Traditional dishes and family recipes abound. Grandma’s meatballs are a favorite antipasto choice for many diners, while some of us appreciate My Wife’s eggplant just a little more (it might be the crispiness, it might be the mozzarella—who can say?). For a little decadence, order The Boss’s lobster mac & cheese.

Pizza here features stalwarts like margherita and pepperoni, but the prosciutto and arugula version has sweet and hot honey as a finishing touch. There are plenty of pasta choices here, from fettucine Alfredo to My MotherIn-Law’s shrimp scampi. Lisa V’s linguine & clams is light, in white wine and garlic. For a slightly more substantial entrée, chicken Parm, chicken marsala, chicken piccata and ribeye are hearty choices. If you are starving, the bone-in XL Milanese chop might fill you up. And if it doesn’t, Buddy’s lobster tail surely will. –Nina King

Francesco Lafranconi Spirits continue to drive his spirit When you’ve worked in one industry for 35 years, you’re going to learn a few things along the way. Meet Francesco Lafranconi, vice president of beverage and hospitality culture at Carversteak at Resorts World Las Vegas.

We asked the well-versed Lafranconi, who’s immersed himself in the beverage and hospitality industry for that long, what he’s discovered: • “I like to create an experience for the guest,” he says. “I feel like if you come to a venue, you should be able to travel the world from your barstool”; • “Have a staff that really cares, is personable and makes you feel comfortable, respected and pampered. I think that’s one of the fundamentals for the hospitality culture”; • “Being able to promote wines, spirits, alcoholic beverages—I think we are fine promoters of civilizations because we are allowing our guests to experience spirits that are centuries old in the making and they represent countries”;

• “Our passion, creativity and knowledge is expressed through the ingredients and brands we carry.”

Born in Italy, Lafranconi was raised in the family bar business. When he was 28, he came to Las Vegas to work for spirits-supplyingjuggernaut Southern Glazier Wine & Spirits.

Spending 18 years there, he helped establish a training and educational program and served as the executive director of mixology and spirits education. After his tenure, he stepped out on his own and opened Mr. Coco, a cocktail haven at Palms. Then the pandemic closed the entire property. A year ago, he joined Carversteak’s parent company and helped open the restaurant and establish its impressive beverage program.

Lafranconi leaves us with one more thought: “At the end of the day, it’s about establishing relationships and connecting with the guests; to please the senses of my guests. I’m grateful.

Very grateful.” –Kiko Miyasato

If she likes to drink—we’ve got options This May 8, treat mom on Mother’s Day to a few rounds on you. With tons and tons of spots to imbibe, we’ve helped narrow down the list by suggesting a few places with varying vibes—but all suitable to get Mom toasted as you toast her on her special day.

Is Mom a more laid-back beer drinker? Take her to two hot spots perfect for that. Beer Park at Paris offers a rooftop patio that overlooks the Strip and famed Bellagio fountain show.

The picnic-style design offers tons of drinking options. Choose from more than 30 beers on draft, beer cocktails, cocktails on draft, beer flights, wines on draft and bottled beers. Over at The Park at New York-New York, Beerhaus is another great beer spot. The large beer hall with

outdoor seating along The Park (perfect for people-watching) offers tons of lagers and ales on draft, bottled and canned—make sure to ask the bartender about the daily list of unusual or rare beers. Beerhaus also has tons of board games the whole family can play.

If Momma likes things a little more upscale and gets delighted by handcrafted specialty cocktails, take her to Petrossian Bar at Bellagio.

Here you can pair fine spirits with caviar, sip on unique and delicious cocktails and even enjoy afternoon tea. Music is provided by pianists throughout the day. Dripping in elegance and beauty, the newly opened Vanderpump á Paris at Paris is too good to pass up—this place has Mother written all over it. The drop-dead gor-

geous design is the perfect setting for enjoying champagnes by the glass, handcrafted cocktails, wines and even absinthe.

Take Mom off-Strip to locals’ favorite resort Green Valley Ranch to check out the garden-inspired pop-up lounge Spring at the Terrace.

With views of the expansive pool area and lush backyard of the property, you can book a private greenhouse to enjoy botanical-themed cocktails or a sparkling rosé flight. For both indoor and outdoor fun, head downtown to Circa Resort & Casino’s rooftop ultra-lounge, Legacy Club.

With an expansive patio with gorgeous views of the entire valley, it’s the perfect spot to do a champagne toast to Mom at sunset (ask about the Sunset Package). –Kiko Miyasato Spring at the Terrace courtesy photo Legacy Club photo by Black Raven Films Petrossian Bar photo courtesy of MGM Resorts International

When celebrity chef Lorena Garcia opened Chica with 50 Eggs Hospitality Group in 2017 at The Venetian, it was the first time a female chef had appeared on the Culinary Titans wall on the resort’s exterior.

It was a proud moment for Garcia as her 20-foot-tall image was unveiled overlooking the Strip, and that pride was something that carried over as she opened the Latin-inspired restaurant on Mother’s Day. Since that opening, Garcia has overseen the opening of two more Chicas, in Miami and in Aspen, and a remodel of the Las Vegas outpost, imbuing it with a more modern, lively design reminiscent of the Miami venue.

Inside Las Vegas’ Chica, that modern design is first apparent in the lounge area, where greenery hangs lushly over the bar top, and a bright mural recalls that Miami vibe. On the farthest wall of the dining area, Chica’s open kitchen, sporting wood-fired grills, a charcoal oven and wood-fired rotisserie, supplies a variety of Latin specialties.

The menus here also got updated when Chica changed the décor, and the new offerings are so

Elia Aboumrad—you might recognize her face and skills from Top Chef—has transitioned to a light and bright menu including Mary’s organic half chicken roasted with za’atar and garlic, baby organic carrots with maple Greek yogurt sauce and fried tarragon, and a sweet Pavlova meringue with berries and coulis. Seasonal cocktails are new, too, including the Christopher Oaxacan,

a mezcal and Campari combo with cucumber, lemon, honey and ginger. That’ll put the bang in your Boom Bang experience.

house-made pappardelle with broccolini, wild mushrooms and butter sauce; a Creekstone Farms Angus beef tenderloin sandwich on focaccia bread with tomato balsamic chutney; and strawberry shortcake with vanilla pastry cream.

Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar (702.797.7344) at Red Rock Resort has unveiled new dishes for spring from its new executive chef Donald Thompson. Among the fresh offerings are roasted beet salad with honey yogurt goat cheese, Scottish salmon with steamed vegetables, and a 32-ounce aged tomahawk steak with garlic mashed potatoes and truffle jus. This sunny Summerlin hot spot is an ideal destination to enjoy the flavors of the season.

Right at the heart of downtown’s buzzy Fremont East district, popular beer-and-burger eatery Eureka (725.433.1539) is putting its own touches on special new dishes, adding the Black & Blue burger with blue cheese, caramelized onions, smoked bacon and garlic aioli to its stellar selection. California-raised Santa Carota beef is used at Eureka, vitamin-packed and rich with flavor. But if you want a lighter bite, check out the new ahi poke stack with bourbon barrel-aged soy sauce, avocado, black rice and sesame ginger dressing. Wrap it all up with the new whiskey sour sorbet dessert, lemon sorbet with herbal bitters and a maraschino cherry.

The Tea Lounge (702.590.8888) on the 23rd floor at the regal Waldorf Astoria just began offering its delightful High Garden at the Tea Lounge program, a special experience even among the culinary treasures on the strip. New signature cocktails and seasonal teas along with tiered trays of freshly baked signature scones, egg gougere, truffle croque brioche and an assortment of desserts will be served Wednesday through Sunday from 11:45 a.m. until 4:15 p.m. The serene environment, delicate dishes and amazing views from this hidden gem will combine for an unforgettable experience.

And out in the southwest valley, Dolce & Chianti Cucina and Cocktails (702.749.6534) has more new menu additions for the season, including: burrata and strawberry salad with arugula and fennel; crispy prawns with spring pea risotto; and seafood pasta with mussels, prawns, scallops, clams and Galliano cream sauce.

Chica The Venetian, 702.805.8472 Lorena Garcia is the first Latina chef with her own eatery on the Las Vegas Strip—Chica, an ode to her Latin-fusion roots. It’s here that guests can enjoy 100 different tequilas and mezcals. “We hit all the major tequila houses,” says Daniel Grajewski, Chica’s beverage director. “We try to have a breadth of everything. But it’s not just about having the big names. We want to be a place for everybody.

If you want El Tesoro, Don Julio— we’ve got those, but then we have Patron Extra Añejo that is aged in sherry barrels and is unique and different-tasting.”

Recommendations: 50/50 with Tequila Ocho reposado, Carpano vermouth and citrus bitters; Palomita with Tequila Ocho plata, fresh grapefruit juice, grapefruit cordial, grapefruit soda, lime and agave.

One of Mexico’s biggest exports is tequila. The spirit dates to the 16th century, and fans of tequila can even visit its namesake town. Derived from the blue agave plant, the distilled beverage has recently had a huge surge in popularity—as well as another agave-based favorite, mezcal, which has a smokier flavor than its tequila brethren—and Las Vegas has taken notice. We’ve rounded up nine Strip spots to get your tequila (and mezcal) fix, as well as some great cocktails, too.

Electra Cocktail Club The Palazzo, 702.607.1950 Tequila and mezcal selections hit nearly 80 different brands at Electra, but it’s here that guests can enjoy a clublike experience combined with specially crafted cocktails that take spirits to an elevated level, thanks to the creations of world-renowned bartender Sam Ross. “Here, we help guests craft their own cocktails,” says bartender Daniel Yang. “It’s about finding the right cocktail instead of the cookie-cutter choices.

Finding a cocktail that matches the person’s taste. It’s also about the energy here—high energy and a live DJ.” Electra also offers some very special brands of tequila from smaller houses, like Tequila Fortaleza from a family in Mexico that has been making the spirit for more than 100 years.

Recommendations: Del Rio with blanco tequila, Cocchi Americano and Bruto Americano; Spicy Tommy’s #2 with blanco tequila, fresh lime, agave and orange wedges.

Hussong’s Cantina The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, 702.632.6450 Hussong’s Cantina, which started in Ensenada, Mexico, dating back to 1892, is the bar that invented the margarita.

In 1941, the bar welcomed the German ambassador and his daughter Margarita to Mexico. The bartender concocted a drink especially for her—a mix of tequila, damiana, sugar and lime juice—and named the drink after her. Hussong’s Cantina also serves margaritas in pint glasses—the original way margaritas were

triple sec, organic agave nectar, fresh-squeezed lime juice, strawberry purée, banana liqueur and Grand Marnier.

El Segundo Sol FSLV, 702.258.1211 This writer must say, El Segundo Sol offers one of the best strawberry margaritas she’s ever tasted. That said, the restaurant offers more than 100 tequila brands,

makes its own margarita mix from scratch every day (nearly 15 gallons worth), makes its own syrups, fresh squeezes all of its juices, offers more than a dozen margaritas from mango and strawberry to lime, and makes a really strong frozen house margarita. Don’t skip the happy hour, where you can get that house margarita for just $5.50 from 3:30-6:30 p.m.

Monday through Thursday.

Recommendations: El Segundo Big Stick with frozen Sauza margarita, Chambord, blue curaçao and Midori; Strawberry Margarita with Sauza tequila and fresh strawberry purée.

Javier’s Aria, 702.590.5284 It’s all about tequila and margaritas at Javier’s,” says Drew Kaiser, general manager. In fact, fans of both

can choose from more than 120 different tequilas and mezcals, 16 different types of specialty margaritas or break the bank with a 2-ounce shot of Patrón en Lalique tequila for $1,000. More affordable 2-ounce pours include popular brands like Clase Azul, Dos Artes, Casamigos and Don Julio tequilas.

Recommendations: Margarita de Piña with reposado tequila, St-Germain, agave nectar, fresh lime juice and pineapple; Margarita de Jalapeño with reposado tequila, St-Germain, agave nectar and lime and orange juices.

Mama Rabbit Park MGM, 702.730.7777 When Mama Rabbit first opened, it was specifically built to house one of the largest selections of tequila and mezcals—nearly 300 labels—on the Las Vegas Strip.

While the offerings are now around 170, Mama Rabbit is still a hot spot for some of the harder-to-find, rare momand-pop brands. In fact, the bar and lounge has regulars that come in every week just to see what’s new. “Recently we’ve added tequila drinks that a whiskey drinker could have, like a tequila Old-Fashioned, where it doesn’t taste like tequila but like the whiskey, or the vodka or tastes like the fruit drinks people might like,” says Chris Larsen, the director of beverage at Park MGM.

Recommendations: Palomita with mezcal, grapefruit juice, hibiscus, fresh lime and agua fresca cerveza; Mama’s Margarita with blanco tequila, orange juice, lime juice and salt or no salt and spicy or not spicy— your choice.

Cabo Wabo Cantina Miracle Mile Shops, 702.385.2226 If you haven’t heard of Cabo Wabo tequila, maybe you’ve heard of the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar? While the once

lead vocalist of the band Van Halen recently sold his Cabo Wabo tequila brand, he built a restaurant and spirits empire that spreads to the Strip with Cabo Wabo Cantina at Miracle Mile Shops. (He also performs

at The STRAT.) It’s here that you can try the popular Cabo Wabo tequila brand, along with 60 other varieties of tequila. Beverage manager Steve Roehm suggests trying a flight, which includes three

Friday and Saturday night Latin Dance parties. Then there’s the tequila selection: more than 140 brands and more than two dozen mezcal choices. A great way to try different tequilas is by ordering Chayo’s tequila flights—three small pours of blanco, reposado and añejo tequilas. Or try one of 18 different specialty tequila-based cocktails, all made with fresh-squeezed juices and made-in-house margarita mix.

Recommendations: Cucumber Margarita with Gran Centenario blanco tequila, fresh cucumber purée, triple sec, and fresh-squeezed lime; High Roller Margarita with Maestro Dobel Diamante tequila, freshsqueezed lime, Grand Marnier and agave nectar.

small pours, to get the best tequila-tasting experience. “You can taste the different aging,” he says. “Blancos are aged not at all or up to two months, reposado is two to 11 months, and añejo is 11 months or more. It’s fun to taste them all next to each other and see how

it changes from a young kinda earthy, herbal flavor to as you get more aging you get that caramel, oak and wood taste.”

Recommendations: Cabo Wabo tequila flight; Cocorita with Cabo Wabo tequila, lime juice, crème of coconut and freshly toasted coconut.

Diablo’s Cantina Luxor, 702.262.5225 Every day at the top of the hour between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., watch as bartenders spin the giant wheel for specials on everything from shots to cocktails. It’s a great, affordable way to try Diablo’s tequila offerings. With a selection of up to 50 different tequila brands, there really is something for everyone’s tastes and price range, says Cindy Gault, general manager.

If you’re celebrating a birthday or anniversary, you get the chance to spin a giant wheel; Diablo’s will buy you whatever selection the wheel lands on, she says.

Recommendations: Passionfruit Fiesta with Olmeca Altos reposado tequila, passion fruit, fresh lemon and lime juices; Mexican Cucumber with Hornitos plata tequila, muddled cucumber, basil and fresh lime juice.

If anyone needed any proof that Silk Sonic is a guaranteed good time, their recent performance opening the GRAMMY Awards in Las Vegas was more than sufficient. Their sublime mixture of retro soul and funk, on full display in their performance of “777,” was the absolutely perfect way to open the ceremonies at the MGM Grand Garden Arena: For GRAMMY fans, it doesn’t get better than the combination of superstars Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak; and for fans of the group, it was a preview of what to expect from their residency at Park MGM. Beginning with its debut at Dolby Live at Park MGM on Feb. 25, An Evening With Silk Sonic has satisfied on every level, bringing a funky and soulful musical revelation to the sturdy structure of the Las Vegas Strip headlining residency. And with concert dates only extending through the month of May, this definitely qualifies as a must-see show. (Although we fervently hope this becomes a longer residency; there aren’t many shows that seem more perfectly suited to Las Vegas than this one.)

Ideally matched performing partners Mars and .Paak are both electric live entertainers, and both are clearly overjoyed to be singing and playing these songs—from the debut Silk Sonic album released in November—on any stage, let alone in front of 5,000 fans in one of the crown-jewel rooms on the Strip (which has also hosted mega-acts like Lady Gaga, Garth Brooks, The Jonas Brothers and Cher).

They bounce between drum kits and guitars, swinging and swaying through Motown and disco-inspired choreography, and neither one ever seems to stop smiling.

Fresh off a GRAMMY sweep, Silk Sonic returns to its smash Las Vegas residency

Backed by a fierce band, the duo reaches beyond Silk Sonic tracks to incorporate R&B classics into the setlist, as well as their own solo hits.

Mars’ “That’s What I Like” is wrapped in Earth, Wind & Fire vibes, and interpolations of Con Funk Shun’s “Love’s Train” and Roy Ayers’ “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” shine as brightly as Silk Sonic’s smash single “Leave the Door Open,” which won a GRAMMY for Song of the Year.

Speaking of the GRAMMYs … In case anyone needed any proof that Silk Sonic is a force to be reckoned with, they won every single award they were nominated for, including Best R&B Performance, Best R&B Song and Record of the Year.

These talented artists aren’t transporting the audience to another era so much as pulling that era’s amazing music into the present day, reminding us how good it feels.
