Las Vegas is often referred to as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and this week is a perfect reason why. There are so many shows, entertainers, comedians and other artists vying for your attention that we had a di cult time fi nding room for them all in this issue. Good luck making a choice, but here’s the silver lining: There are no bad choices.

Who doesn’t love Journey? They’re a huge part of our lives, from the radio-dominating singles of the ’80s to the now-famous use of “Don’t Stop Believin’” in the fi nale of The Sopranos. And this week they’ll bring their timeless sound to Mandalay Bay (“On and On and On,” p. 32).

Two of the city’s biggest headliners return to packed theaters this week: Barry Manilow, who last year broke Elvis Presley’s record for number of performances at the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas (“Feel the Energy,” p. 14); and Donny Osmond, who takes fans through a life spent in entertainment, in his show at Harrah’s Las Vegas (“Fan-tastic!” p. 34).

If you love NBC reality competition America’s Got Talent, you’ll be thrilled to discover that the Vegas-set variety show based on it, America’s Got Talent Presents SUPERSTARS Live at Luxor, has added several new sensational acts to the show (“Ever-Changing Fun,” p. 36 ). And dance troupe Jabbawockeez, which once competed on AGT, o ers its own unforgettable show at MGM Grand (“Moves, Music and Merriment,” p. 20).

Want some laughs? Wiseguys Live Comedy, which now has two locations in town, hosts Zoltan Kaszas at its downtown location, as well as Maddy Smith at its Town Square outpost (“Double Your Fun,” p. 17 ).

Now go get your tickets! Our city is waiting to entertain you!

Form and Function

The Strip display educates and fascinates

Whatever you think you know about the human anatomy, you may be seriously surprised by what you discover at REAL BODIES at Horseshoe Las Vegas, an inclusive exhibit that takes you on a journey through the different parts of not just the human condition, but life itself.

Divided into sections like circulatory, muscular and nervous, as well as birth, love and death, BODIES leaves no kidney stone unturned in its quest to educate us about what the body is capable of—for example, did you know that the saliva you produce over a lifetime can fill two swimming pools? Or that the volume of air that your lungs inhale daily can fill two hot air balloons? These small factoids, planted all over the course of your journey, are just the co-star in this production. The main event is definitely the bodies themselves, posed in various ways to illustrate what the body can do. It’s all possible through a process called plastination, and it allows looks into the ways the body works you’ve never seen before.

Plastination allows BODIES to use its subjects in not just educational ways, but philosophical. As you look at the displays in the love and death section, you begin to feel a deep sense of your own mortality, examining the choices you’ve made in your life, and realizing how much you still have left to do. And it’s impossible to not be moved by the section on fetuses in various stages of development. Like life itself, BODIES is a humbling experience.

There’s art throughout the display as well (courtesy of some Las Vegas creatives), including Wall of Bones, the Fan Wall, Kinetic Sculptures and a re-created catacomb-style environment. And in a nod to our recent past, BODIES now features COVID-19 content, including 3D printed COVID-19 virus models and a short film explaining how the virus reacts to your body and how it is spread. As you make your way through the various sections, you’ll be able to read quick facts about the virus and how it affects each of the different body systems. –

Feel the Energy

Master showman’s record-breaking show is still going strong in Las Vegas

I was never able to see Elvis Presley when he performed at the International (now the Westgate Las Vegas), and so I can’t begin to imagine the energy level from the crowd at just one of his shows. But I have seen Barry Manilow, who performs in the same space as the King did those many decades ago. And I’m here to tell ya: I’ve seen a lot of concerts in a lot of venues, and nothing in my experience matches the electricity generated by a Manilow crowd.

I’d go so far as to say it’s what keeps Manilow going. The man is 80 years old! He has nothing left to prove (as if he needed more on his resume, last year he broke The King’s performance record of 636 shows at the International Theater); he’s earned the right to retire and rest on his many laurels. But yeah, if I was in his shoes and got the reaction he does every time he steps onstage, I’d probably be performing into my golden years, too!

Ask any fan who’s been to countless Manilow performances, and they’ll all say the same thing: Manilow is the ultimate showman, a consummate entertainer who leaves everything on the field every single time. He may be 80, but this dude’s stamina is legendary. And his fans are with him every step of the way, waiting for hours sometimes after a show to pose with him for photographs and autographs. We’ve all seen those concerts where entertainers point into the audience as if they spotted someone they know; at a Manilow concert, it’s a pretty good bet Manilow actually does!

And good news: Manilow is guaranteed to still be hard at it this year, announcing dates until December (at which time he will, undoubtedly, host his now-legendary holiday show at his host property, A Very Barry Christmas). That means at least one more year of favorites such as “Mandy,” “I Write the Songs,” “Copacabana” … more than I can realistically list in one writeup. If you’ve never seen a Barry Manilow show, now’s your chance to not only be part of history, but to see a true Vegas institution. I was never able to see Elvis; what’s your excuse? –Ken

Double Your Fun

Comedy club features two locations and plenty of laughs

You’ve got to dip into a comedy club while you’re in town. Seriously, this desert oasis attracts the best of the best when it comes to touring comedians, and Wiseguys Live Comedy, with its two locations, is doing its part to make sure you get some giggling in your Vegas vacay itinerary.

At the downtown location, get a laugh with award-winning stand-up comedian Zoltan Kaszas, pictured, at one of four shows (two shows a night) scheduled for March 15-16. With five full comedy specials available on his YouTube channel, a hilarious weekly podcast and many viral clips under his belt, Kaszas has been in the business of providing people humor for quite some time.

In fact, after first performing stand-up at an open mic when he was 19 years old, the relatable funnyman went on to perform in and win various comedy competitions like the Seattle International Comedy Competition and the San Diego Comedy Festival. Kaszas later went viral for his hysterical hot take that cats are better than dogs.

If you’d rather stay closer to the Las Vegas Strip this week, stop in for one of four sets that comedian and social media icon Maddy Smith is performing from March 15-16 at the Town Square location. The often “out of pocket” performer is most known for her appearances on MTV’s Wild ’N Out –Em Jurbala

Go, Green, Go!

Celebrate the month’s biggest holiday, Las Vegas-style

Authentic Rí Rá Irish Pub at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place celebrates all week long with free live entertainment from award-winning and locals’ favorite Irish band The Black Donnellys. Traditional eats and drinks are also be available like corned beef and cabbage and all the Guinness you can handle.

More Jameson-themed cheer can be found over at Juliet Cocktail Room at The Venetian. The lounge teams up with the spirits brand to throw a raucous St. Patrick’s Day shindig on March 17, with DJs and live Irish bands as well as $7 Jameson shots, green beer and Guinness. Next door at The Palazzo, Electra Cocktail Club also offers the same beverage special.

At The STRAT, you can find awesome St. Patrick’s Day-themed drinks specials from March 15-17. At the property’s various watering holes, including Remix Lounge, View Lounge and 108 Drinks, enjoy $5 green Bud Light drafts, $8 Jameson shots with a pickle juice back and complimentary green Jell-O shots!

Tickets start at $20. –Kiko Miyasato

Moves, Music and Merriment

Strip production is about so much more than dance

“But I’m not really a big fan of dance!” you might be saying to yourself as you contemplate buying tickets to Jabbawockeez

Let me make something extremely clear: Jabbawockeez’ Timeless is a show for absolutely everyone, regardless of background or taste. It’s not just a celebration of dance in all its myriad forms; it’s a celebration of life itself. By the time the night is over, you will have laughed, cheered, perhaps even shed a tear. And

you will have felt part of something truly communal.

By now, you’re probably familiar with the look of the show—every performer wears a mask so that the focus is squarely on their moves and not their faces. But what you may not know is how many genres of music will be covered in just an hour and change. You’re as likely to hear Wu-Tang Clan and Billie Eilish as you are Frank Sinatra and The Jackson 5. And just as the music constantly chang-

es, so do the dance styles—you’ll see break-dancing, swing and so much more.

In perhaps the show’s most inspired bit, a karaoke contest breaks out among audience members. It ends with an obvious audience plant who slays in his performance and wins the prize of—you guessed it!—a plant. It’s a show you truly don’t want to end. But hey, you can always buy another ticket. –Ken Miller

At Your Service

Restaurant pulls out all stops to ensure a luxurious experience

When you want to slip into comfortable luxury, look no farther than Edge Steakhouse at Westgate Las Vegas, where a lush, modern environment with dark woods and plush red seating channels an old-school vibe. That vibe is accompanied by a level of service you would have found in old Vegas, too, with servers ready to answer every question and anticipate every need.

That service is not an accident, said general manager Richard Douglas in an interview with Las Vegas Magazine. “We have a collection of front and back of the house employees that have worked at this property for extended years. With this, a deep sense of pride and ownership has emerged within our establishment. ... Our staff’s passion resonates with guests, leaving an unforgettable impression on everyone who walks through the doors.”

At Edge, enjoy goodies like the shrimp cocktail; a wedge salad with heirloom tomatoes and Stilton blue cheese; roasted chicken with garlic potato purée; and Skuna Bay salmon with lemon beurre blanc. And for the stars of the show, try steaks like the 20-ounce dry-aged ribeye or the 12-ounce Stone Axe Farm wagyu rib cap. Add on steamed Alaskan red king crab legs, seared scallops or bone marrow, if you like. And what’s dinner without a sweet? The warm chocolate lava cake and Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée are sure to satisfy. –Nina King

Elevate Your Experience

Don’t miss the cocktails and opulence at two Bellagio hot spots

A love for cocktails and a desire to drink in style are the only prerequisites for Club Privé and The Vault at Bellagio. Don’t be intimidated, though—plainly speaking, both lounges are just darn cool experiences.

Let’s start with Club Privé, Bellagio’s high-limit lounge. “Although Club Privé is home to Bellagio’s high-limit lounge, all guests are welcome to enjoy the elevated bar experience,” says Emily McDonald, director of beverage at Bel-

lagio. “Guests can revel in our opulent bar, savor a glass of whiskey or sit back in Club Privé’s secluded lounge and relish the fine cigar selection.”

“The cigar program at Club Privé has an extensive list of offerings that range in the richness of cigars from light-bodied to more robust,” says Craig Schoettler, executive director of beverage at Bellagio. “Some of our top offerings include Montecristo, Cohiba and Romeo y Julieta. It’s truly a well-balanced list for

every occasion. If guests come before dinner, we’d recommend a lighter-bodied style such as the Montecristo No. 2. If guests come post-dinner and are looking to wind down in one of the most luxurious spaces, I would introduce them to our robusto cigars and pair it with a nice glass of Scotch.”

Club Privé is a beautiful place to hang out and enjoy one of its specialty cocktails or a fine whiskey pulled from its rich whiskey program. The décor is

24 | 3.10.24 Las Vegas Magazine Cheers Interior photos courtesy of MGM Resorts International
The Vault

lush with stunning chandeliers, and the seating is plush and plentiful. Order the apricot-forward Hotel Nacional cocktail with white rum, apricot brandy, simple syrup, pineapple and lime. Fans of lemon should try the Speakerboxx with tequila blanco, Small Hand Foods gum syrup, dry vermouth, Lo-Fi Gentian amaro, soda and fresh lemon juice.

We’ll tell you a secret, too: Across from the entrance to Club Privé, look to the right and you’ll see gaming tables and an alcove with a door and a small placard with a “V” on it. This is The Vault, a true speakeasy with one of the most impressive cocktail programs in the city. (Another revealed secret: search Instagram for The Vault and how to gain access).

“The Vault at Bellagio is its own little oasis within Las Vegas,” Schoettler says. “Guests can experience high-quality cocktails and bites while tucked away in one of the most beautiful spaces. The Vault carries unique spirits from a historical moment in time. We created an experience where guests can enjoy inspirational and experimental cocktails using spirits sourced from throughout the 20th century. Once the spirit is gone, it’s gone forever. … An extensive amount of research and

Cheers

education has gone into creating The Vault’s beverage program to present a best-in-class cocktail destination. Our mixologists have gone through an extraordinary amount of training to learn more about vintage spirits, been given the tools and guidance to craft bespoke cocktails, and, of course, mastered The Vault’s famed signature cocktails.”

Two of those signature cocktails include the Rose Romance with Stoli Elit vodka, St-Germain, Billecart-Salmon brut rose, dragon fruit purée, simple syrup and lemon juice (serves two), and the Vapor Trail, a smoked cocktail with Japanese whiskey, smoked demerara and Angostura bitters.

Perusing The Vault’s menu, you’ll find cocktails labeled “MP” for “market price.” Yes, these cocktails are pricey but are always an experience and use some of the rarest, most special spirits. “We label vintage cocktails as market price because we are sourcing our spirits from former years,” Schoettler says. “Once a spirit is gone, we find another product from history. For example, we could serve Bacardi from the ’30s this week, then the next could be Bacardi from the ’40s or ’60s.” –

Friends With Benefits

Alvin Smith

It’s all about the love of bartending

I mean, how can you not want to sit at Alvin Smith’s bar? “I operate off of love,” he says. “I feel like if you add a little love to everything you do—I know it sounds super corny—but if you add a little love to everything, like the cocktails that I make or my conversation, it just makes it better. The world needs more love right now.”

Smith is the bartender at the Velvet Bar at Westgate Las Vegas, the property’s upscale, intimate bar and lounge with impressive craft cocktails. However, he’s bartended all over the property since join-

ing Westgate seven years ago. “This is the first job that I can honestly say I love what I do,” Smith said. “It doesn’t feel like a job. I thoroughly enjoy what I do.”

Before he got into the industry, he spent more than a dozen years as a security guard and corrections officer. “I wanted to be in a job where I didn’t need to tell people what to do anymore,” he says. “I wanted a job that was fun, enjoyable, and bartending seemed right up my alley.” Especially since both his parents were also in the industry—his mom was a cocktail

Every cocktail at Velvet Bar was inspired by a notable who frequented the property. The Art of the Deal is inspired by Elvis Presley’s manager, Col. Tom Parker. (Read about his history on the menu).

So he began his bartending career 10 years ago, and says he couldn’t have made a better decision. “I love people,” Smith says. “I am a huge people person. I love meeting people from all walks of life and hearing their stories. It never gets old. To be a good bartender you have to love people, hands down.” And trust us, Smith practices what he preaches, and you’ll know that the minute you sit at his bar. –Kiko

¡VIVA! by Ray Garcia elevates Mexican cuisine to a new level

Holding a tart marg with a salt rim in one hand and a warm, house-made tortilla chip with a heaping scoop of salsa in the other might just be the secret to happiness. After all, how could you feel down while crunching salty snacks and quenching your thirst with a refreshing beverage?

When you order chips and salsa at ¡VIVA! by Ray Garcia, you’ll be delighted when presented with fresh-fried heirloom corn tortillas and über-garlicky salsa tatemada, which draws its bold flavors from the charring of its ingredients. Make sure to pair it with the ¡VIVA-Rita!, simply made with

Ceviche

blanco tequila, fresh lime and agave and topped with salt air foam. It puts an inventive twist on a well-loved classic—something you’ll grow to expect from the chef.

L.A. native Garcia creates vibrant modern dishes influenced by his Mexican-American heritage. The chef’s creativity shines on this menu, with starters like ceviche with yellowtail, cucumber, leche de tigre and pu ed rice; and chicharrones, which not only include pork rinds, but also come with chicken skins, crab chips, shrimp chips and duritos (a pu ed wheat snack), served with a habanero hot sauce.

If tacos tickle you, the Baja tacos here are a must. Made with shrimp, chorizo remoulade, escabeche and cabbage slaw, they’re packed with bold flavors that balance each other—from the saltiness of the chorizo-infused sauce to the punchy pickled vegetables.

Mains include the delicious enchiladas de pollo, enchiladas stu ed with succulent chicken and requesón (a cheese that’s creamy like ricotta but is slightly more acidic and salty, adding a touch of tanginess to the savory dish), feta and red onion. Carne cravers will be delighted to fi nd three exceptional

steak options; an 8-ounce wagyu skirt steak, an 8-ounce, 21-day wet aged fi let mignon and a 16-ounce, 14-day dry aged New York strip, all served with Mexican barbecue staples like sweet peppers, cebollitas (otherwise known as really yummy grilled green onions) and roasted tomato (you can add a half a lobster to any of these).

Veggie lovers, fear not; one of the most imaginative dishes on this menu is just for you. The vegan tamal stuns with its combination of calabacitas (a tasty combination of zucchini, squash and onions), edamame mole verde, olive relish and vegan feta. And stop in for lunch to enjoy the vegan coliflór al pastor tacos, which feature roasted cauliflower, cashew crema and grilled pineapple.

Make sure you leave room for dessert because you’ll have a hard time choosing just one. The fresas con crema o ers a refreshing and rich fi nish with strawberries, mascarpone crema, meringue and Jamaica syrup, a sweet sauce made with dried hibiscus. Another sweet standout can be found in the helados section; a corn tortilla ice cream, which is sweet and creamy but also gains a lovely texture from its main ingredient.

Journey holds on to that feeling of success after 50 years of performing

It’s not likely teenage guitarist Neal Schon imagined Journey’s journey would last so long when he co-founded the band in San Francisco. The initial lineup was meant to be versatile, at home on its own as well as backing other artists à la Booker T. and the M.G.’s.

More than 50 years since Journey’s fi rst live gig, New Year’s Eve 1973 at the Winterland Ballroom, the band continues to celebrate its golden anniversary with a concert itinerary featuring classic rock tourmates such as current Freedom Tour 2024 opening act Toto.

Journey is slated to share stages throughout the rest of the year with Steve Miller Band, Heart and Cheap Trick, but stands above them all on the legacy band circuit. Only Schon remains from Journey’s original lineup, with keyboardist Jonathan Cain and singer Arnel Pineda joined by Schon’s Bad English bandmate Deen Castronovo on drums and touring bassist Todd Jensen.

The latter two have long relationships with Journey, which entered its golden age of hitmaking when Steve Perry joined the lineup. Perry had a voice reminiscent of Sam Cooke’s but capable of fi lling the arenas and stadiums Journey increasingly played after the release of 1978’s Infinity. Album track “Lights,” a favorite of Schon’s, would beget an iconic audience tradition of holding lighters aloft.

Perry’s voice would be fi lling stadiums by the time they were playing “Anyway You Want It” from 1980’s Departure live. Cain replaced keyboardist Gregg Rolie that year

and supplied the song that caused Journey’s to reach its radio-friendly zenith with “Don’t Stop Believin’” from 1981’s Escape.

While Journey has been around longer, Toto broke out at the same time Perry began voicing Journey’s hits. Guitarist Steve Lukather led keyboardist David Paich, singer Bobby Kimball and the Porcaro brothers through a hitmaking era that lasted from 1978’s “Hold the Line” through Grammy-winning 1982 album Toto IV, with “Rosanna” and “Africa” cementing their place in the pop music pantheon.

Lukather’s most well-known guitar playing is likely his power chord contributions to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” but aside from informal hiatuses he’s never fully put the brakes on Toto much as Schon keeps Journey moving on its path forward. That path includes a 15th studio album release in 2022’s Freedom, which featured contributions from former bassist Randy Jackson and prolific jazz drummer Narada Michael Walden.

Castronovo and Jensen are in the lineup now in an era in which cell phone flashes have replaced lighters. Journey returns to stadiums this summer with co-headliner Def Leppard in the wake of “Don’t Stop Believin’” reaching a billion streams on Spotify.

The song has also been declared platinum 18 times over by the Recording Association of America, with Journey’s Greatest Hits recently reentering the Top 10 of Billboard ’s vinyl albums chart.

That might have something to do with Journey performing at this year’s NFC championship between the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions. “South Detroit” was changed to “San Francisco” in the lyrics to Don’t Stop Believin’.” The 49ers won that game, of course.

celebrates spring break annually at his Las Vegas residency inside Harrah’s Showroom, but this year there is an addition to the festivities. In mid-February, Osmond announced that, along with a sing-along screening of the 1999 film version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on March 14, he will be interviewed live in front of an audience by Phil Rosenthal and David Wild for the journalists’ weekly Naked Lunch podcast on March 15.

Osmond had kicked o February with an announcement that his headlining engagement was extended through its three-year anniversary in August to November. In December, he jets o to Scotland for opening night of his debut as Pharaoh in a U.K. tour of Joseph, but until then fans can see him reprise his role as Joseph (and so much more!) in Vegas every Tuesday through Saturday in an award-winning autobiographical show complete with powerful five-piece band, backup dancers, costumes and triptych of video screens.

In the hands of another lifelong showman this could be a recipe for hagiographic disaster. But Osmond has fun and imparts his sense of disarming self-deprecation to the audience from a deep well of talent he’s evolved throughout his life. His extensive, video-enhanced “auto-rap-ography” comes early in the show and draws on the comic sense of humor he developed in the late-’70s with his sister on their prime-time variety program Donny and Marie.

That show is evoked in Osmond’s residency, although he has no problem holding his

own as a solo performer for 90 minutes. He has eight dancers instead of the skating Ice Angels of Donny and Marie, with the four male dancers becoming Osmond brothers at one point in a segment that reveals how purple became associated with the seventh child of Ogden, Utah’s most famous showbiz clan.

Tributes to mentor Andy Williams and the Osmond family play a large role in the stage production, with a clip featuring the two oldest hearing-impaired brothers dancing and providing a particularly poignant moment. It’s Donny’s rapport with audiences, well-represented by fans whose devotion date back to his teen idol days, that sets his residency apart and makes him a must-see.

That rapport peaks when Osmond invites spectators to call out requests from any of his 60-plus albums, which he and the band proceed to play. This can rarely result in stumping Osmond, who will gamely sing along anyway to the audience’s amusement. It may even trigger a duet with an audience member.

If Osmond still su ers from the anxiety that became exacerbated when he transitioned from television to stage musicals, it’s not apparent. He looks happy, healthy and relaxed in performance. Spring break enables him to get closer with fans with this week’s sing-along screening of Joseph, as well as a “Fan Luau,” themed on campy 1978 comedy Goin’ Coconuts on March 16. Pre-show Q&As provide the most intimate interaction for Donny devotees, but for a one-of-a-kind experience the Naked Lunch interview is free and open to the public.

Just like the show it’s based on, America’s Got Talent Presents SUPERSTARS Live is endlessly entertaining

If America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League, in which all the judges of the hit reality competition pick their “dream teams” of contestants from seasons past, has proven anything, it’s this: The show is an absolute treasure trove of entertainment, one

from which vast deposits of talent can be mined for years to come

And America’s Got Talent Presents SUPERSTARS Live takes full advantage of that lode, changing its lineup to reflect the amazing variety over the show’s 18 seasons. Recent additions are some of the most exciting in recent memory, performers with a world-class skill set who could easily command shows of their own.

He never says a word, never changes his stoic facial expression, never shows an ounce of emotion. But Aaron

Crow (season 13) quickly shows he doesn’t need words to bring an audience to its feet—or to its knees. His specialty is death-defying acts, but with a significant twist: It’s often his audience volunteers whose safety we fear for. Whether he’s wielding a bow and arrow, nunchucks, knife or sword, Crow is absolutely magnetic in his stage presence, and his act can best be described as mentalism mixed with danger and, for lack of a better word, magic. He’s one of the few acts to elicit a genuine sense of fear from Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B and Heidi Klum—no small feat at all.

Light Balance

There have been amazing sword-swallowing acts on AGT, and there have been even more amazing aerial acts. But before Herwan Legaillard (season 18), no performer had done them simultaneously. And Legaillard does both so e ortlessly, it’s easy to forget while watching him how frigging hard both are to master. (Oh, and he’s also a master at hand balancing!) But what really puts his act over the top is his presence. The man has a hypnotic stare and devilish good looks. He’s a born showman, and promises to be a huge draw while he’s with the show.

When Pandersonium (season 18) first appeared on AGT, the judges and the audience were a bit dumbfounded. Here were four puppets, all singing a very bland version of Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” Suddenly, a Simon Cowell puppet appeared (the act is called Puppet Simon & The Cowbelles), immediately trashing their act in a very meta moment and taking it over, launching into a great rendition of Queen’s “Someone To Love.” The Cowell impersonation, combined with its performer’s amazing vocals, won the crowd—and the judges—over. And they’ll do the same to you.

Just like the show itself, SUPERSTARS promises plenty of surprises throughout the year. You might get the chance to see:

• Lavender Darcangelo (season 18), whose story of living with both blindness and autism was a ecting enough, but when she opened her mouth to sing “Out Here On My Own,” a star was born. She did not win her season, but her place among the AGT greats is all but assured.

• Brian Justin Crum (season 11), who came so close to winning his season

with one of the most powerful singing voices the show has ever seen.

And if you’ve seen the show recently, you’ll be happy to know that some of the show’s fan favorites are still firmly in place, including:

• Kodi Lee (season 14), a brilliant singer and pianist who won his season handily and continues to be a focal point of the production.

• Human Fountains (season 13), a trio of men who specialize in spitting water (and other fluids) into the air in a choreographed, hilarious routine

Kodi Lee

that will either have you in stitches or slightly grossed out. Either way, this is unforgettable stu .

• Mervant Vera (season 17), a magician and rapper who combines both in an act that changes with each and every audience.

• The Pack Drumline (season 17), a troupe that will get your body moving with propulsive drum beats and impeccably timed choreograpy.

• Light Balance, a dance troupe that combines state-of-the-art technology to create some mind-blowing illusions.

Human Fountains

may have you tearing up a bit.

And tying all this together are your emcees, alternating between stand-up comedians Mike E. Winfield (a Golden Buzzer recipient) and Jordan Conley (both from season 17), who made it to the semifinals. Come and join the ever-changing fun!

AREA15 continues to evolve and expand into an entertainment empire

The addition of 200-person venue space The Wall to AREA15 has pushed the immersive-experience destination’s programming into uncharted territory. There is enough to see, hear, dine on and drink any time during opening hours, but AREA15 now hosts weekend DJ massives in both projection-mapping

venue The Portal and The Wall, as well as bands such as Beach Bums at the latter. Beach Bums would be one a slew of live music options if booked into a live venue on the Strip. Playing a Friday evening at The Wall makes a Las Vegas tour stop special. The growth of AREA15 is hardly slowing, though. Soon there will

be an AREA15 District with more options such as indoor skydiving, and Universal Parks and Resorts has chosen AREA15 as the site for 20 acres of even more mind-blowing experiences, rewarding patrons every time they revisit.

Considering the intellectual property archives of Universal, the possibilities are staggering. “The footprint of AREA15, along with the tenants, is going to double,” says AREA15 COO Dan Pelson. “We believe and we’re confident that AREA15 and this District, with our partners and our own businesses, will be the biggest experiential hub in the world.”

Photos by Laurent Velazquez

The common thread among the experiences is mind-blowfulness. When Pelson and his colleagues consider a new feature for AREA15, they ask themselves, “Is it mind-blowing?” The latest affirmative answer to that question led to the opening of Kaia Handroll, a sushi restaurant with a “vibrant, modern take” on traditional Japanese tastes and techniques.

Kaia (“of the sea”) serves up lobster truffle, blue crab and bluefin tuna rolls in an atmosphere that draws upon a water theme, art and augmented reality to distinguish itself. It takes its place in a dining portfolio that includes The Beast by Todd

English, Lumin Café by Elizabeth Blau at cinematic venue Illuminarium and Lost Spirits Distillery.

Lost Spirits is the big dog of libation destinations that includes Oddwood Bar, The Asylum Bar + Arcade and Datamosh inside Omega Mart. Omega Mart must be experienced to be believed. It seems like a surreal grocery store at first, but hidden passages lead to an inner world of art installations, interactive tech and conspiracy theories.

Attractions Alley, “a carnival midway for the digital age,” may be new to returning guests who come for outdoor

3215 S. Rancho Drive, area15.com

events in the A-Lot, dress-up DJ events at the Portal or attractions like Liftoff. Those who love to sing and dance might enjoy The Wall’s current residency show, School of Nasty with Little Miss Nasty

And good news for those who want to customize their experience: AREA15 now offers Experience Passes, with four different access levels. Level 1 and 2 passes are both for one day and allow access to six and 11 attractions, respectively; Level 3 is a two-day pass that allows access to 12 attractions (and Omega Mart); and Level 4 is a three-day pass that gets you into everything at AREA15. Enjoy!
