Gentlemen's Issue

Giving Fathers Their Due

Have you ever wondered, “Do fathers matter? What differences do I make in my home as a dad?” Let’s start with the simple answer — the importance of a father is tremendous! Fathers make countless differences in their homes and family. However, how much impact you decide to make as a dad is entirely up to you.

My father was the type in which it was just easier to do what he asked than not!! Very driven and firm in his decisions.

A father’s gifts of quality time, life-giving words, and positive actions have a long-lasting impact on his children.

As I reflect on fatherhood this month, here are just a few of the ways dads can build up their homes:

• A father’s strength can be powerful

• A dad’s words can be fueling and inspirational

• Hugs from a dad can be deeply comforting

• A dad’s smile can instill joy and confidence

• Time with a dad can be fun and productive

• A dad’s physicality can be challenging

• A dad’s guidance can be life-changing and foundational

• A father’s correction can be life-saving and life-giving

• Adventures with a dad can be exciting and memorable

Let your father or a father figure in your life know how much he matters to you. And if you are a dad, let us be the first to say — thank you. You are invaluable to the people who know and need you, as well as the community around you.

Happy Father’s Day!

A HENDERSON STEAKHOUSE WELL WORTH THE WAIT

New craft chophouse 138˚  knows how to dry-age and grill its meats to perfection

Dry-aged steak

When Chef Matthew Meyer announced in 2022 that he would be closing his acclaimed Henderson restaurant, Served Global Dining, after six years in order to open a craft chophouse in its place, Las Vegas foodies were naturally a little disappointed. However, Meyer’s new restaurant, 138˚, is far from just another neighborhood steakhouse.

Named after the perfect internal temperature to finish cooking a steak, 138˚ is the only restaurant in Henderson that dry ages its meat, fish, and poultry in-house. Open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner and Saturday and Sunday for brunch, the sophisticated restaurant on West Horizon Ridge Parkway specializes in not only beef from local ranchers like Nevada’s own Perigo Hay & Cattle that's been dry-aged between 45 and 70 days but also carefully sourced pork, duck and fish that's finished on a woodfire grill.

“138˚ is truly like no other restaurant in Henderson or Las Vegas,” Meyer stated. “We are committed to supporting regenerative agriculture, which is better for the environment and the animals, by partnering with local ranchers and sources to help find the best product possible to serve our guests.”

While guests can dine on such impeccable grilled selections at 138˚ as the corn-finished Perigo dryaged ribeye steak and the Whole Grilled Branzino, Meyer graciously shared the restaurant’s Lamb Burger recipe for Henderson residents hoping to do some grilling of their own this summer.

“Other than it tasting fantastic, our Lamb Burger is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, fatty, and rich while still being light enough to enjoy on a hot summer day,” Meyer noted.

Meyer also recommends grilling flank steak, short rib, tri-tip, fish, and seafood during the summer months and advises at-home chefs to marinate their meats in advance to really “step up” their grilling game.

“I recommend marinating at least 24 hours in advance,” Meyer stated. “A simple olive oil, garlic, herbs, and citrus marinade works great for meat, fish, and chicken.”

Additionally, Meyer reminds home cooks to make sure their grill is set at the proper temperature

— between 450 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit — and to “use high-quality meat and season with salt only” to enhance the meat’s natural flavors.

While 138˚ is no doubt quickly making a name for itself due to its dry-aged grilled meats and other delectable dishes, like the Nantucket Jumbo Scallops and the Five Dot Ranch Beef Tartare, fans of Served Global Dining will be delighted to hear that a couple of Served favorites are still available at 138˚.

“Our Pupusas and Miso Pork Belly Burger were fan favorites at Served that we had on the menu since day one,” Meyer concluded. “The Pupusas continue to be on our brunch menu, and the burger is now on our dinner menu.”

For those who opt to try 138˚’s signature cuisine at home, though, Meyer did have one tip to enjoy its grilled Lamb Burger fully: pair it with “two fingers of your favorite bourbon.”

FINDLAY’S LINCOLN NAVIGATOR

A VEHICLE OF RELIABILITY, LUXURY, AND ACTION

ARTICLE BY KYLA SAWYER PHOTOGRAPHY BY HEATHER ORTON

Exploration, security, and luxury all coexist within the 2023 Lincoln Navigator 4x4 Black Label. At Findlay Lincoln, they make sure that every gentleman, and anyone else wanting to experience this marvelous vehicle, is presented with high quality and reliability. That’s why the Navigator is under such a spotlight. Keeping up to date with safety regulations for the adventurous and easy accessibility for the casual driver, the Lincoln Navigator is a car made for anyone under the sun.

With a 450-horsepower Twin-Turbocharged V6, the Navigator takes any challenging peak and coasts it with no problem. No blind spot is a match for its 360-degree camera. Maintaining the safety of everyone on the road is a top

priority when developing this vehicle, so giving the driver the ability to view all angles at all times was a must. All the while, being able to comfortably carry seven passengers, and with a Heavy Duty Trailer tow package, the Navigator proves its durability with its gusto. Friends and family will enjoy a trip during this sunny season by bringing along dirt bikes, jet skis, or even a large caravan for long and explorative vacations.

A new “Yacht Club” theme features fresh leather and beautiful wood trimming, surely to impress and set the tone for any excursion. Plus, a fun feature for the driver who tends to misplace their keys every now and then, they can use their phone as a way to activate their Navigator. With a plethora of safety enhancements from pre-collision assist to a perimeter alarm, this vehicle is ready for any action.

With how much time people spend in vehicles, driving in comfort, style, and reliability is a worthwhile investment. And with the 2023 Lincoln Navigator, drivers can’t deny that there’s nothing they can’t do.

CARLOS ROSAS

OWNER/CEO

PRECISION TUNE AUTO CARE

“Old Fashioned with Four Roses Bourbon and a big ice — you’ve got to have the big ice, bro.”

“In the automotive service and repair business, it’s important to stay up to date with the latest tools, equipment, and the highest skilled staff. Also, trying to stay ahead of the competition is just as important. EVs are becoming the new normal; while other shops stay away from EV-type vehicles, we have embraced them. We purchased a Tesla for various reasons: customer pick up and drop off, advertising, manager incentive, and, most importantly, research and development. We became a Tesla-authorized parts distributor earlier this year, and now we can do all Tesla yearly maintenance. As the industry and the world evolve, so will our shop on Eastern/Pebble.”

Carlos Rosas is the owner and CEO of Precision Tune Auto Care #039-11, located in Henderson Nevada. Precision Tune Auto Care is a full-service auto shop that not only helps you maintain your vehicle through preventative maintenance services but is also there when your vehicle needs repair. And while they are car experts, they also focus on the people who drive in them.

TOP NOTCH ELECTRIC INC.

Old Fashioned

“Throughout the years, Top Notch Electric has found success by sticking to our old-fashioned and traditional roots. We treat all of our clients with the utmost respect and top-notch service. Because we are a family-owned business, we believe in treating clients how one would treat a good friend or family member. When you enter someone’s home or business, you have to enter as if someone were entering your own home/business and how you would expect them to respect your space. Providing an essential service like electrical work can greatly impact the client — imagine if you did not have electricity; that is why we offer free estimates, 24/7 emergency services, and back up all of our work with a 100 percent guarantee to ensure our clients are taken care of. Our electricians are clean, courteous, on time, and do the job right the first time to make our clients’ lives easier. We pride ourselves in delivering topnotch workmanship and the absolute best customer service from the start of the first call through the completion of our client’s service. For me and the Top Notch Electric, Inc. team, the secret to success is simple: Treat people well and do excellent work — the success will come on its own.”

ANYTIME FITNESS

Old

Fashioned with Rye

“To me, ‘Business Savvy’ means to be educated, motivated, and accountable. The only time I truly failed myself was when I walked into a situation thinking I knew everything. ‘You only know what YOU know.’ Forever continue to learn; as you learn, continue to teach those around you. There is no better reminder of what you’ve learned than when you teach them to others. You’ve got to want it! Motivation is super helpful in the beginning to get started. Write down all the reasons why you wanted to get into business in the first place. Give yourself every reason to keep going and keep self-doubt at bay. Wake up each day and read that list and focus. Get excited about the possibilities. Walk the walk, and talk the talk. Accountability is key. Even while owning a gym and being around fitness all day, there was a time when I let myself go. It’s hard to preach about fitness when you’re 50 pounds overweight. I got lazy. I let myself say things like ‘I am too busy,’ ‘I don’t have time,’ and ‘I’ll start on Monday.’ In whatever area of business that you decide to go into, you need to be disciplined. Making yourself do the things you don’t want to do builds character and breeds success. Hold yourself accountable. The better my physique gets, the better my business becomes. Example: Do you really want to be the finance manager who can’t manage his own money?”

Jack Hart is the Owner of Anytime Fitness Henderson, a Veteran/Locally Owned & Operated 24-hour gym geared towards creating a total fitness experience designed around your abilities, your body, and your goals.

“I have found success in the hospitality industry through my ability to pivot and problem solve at the moment to impact guest service positively. The competition in the restaurant industry in Las Vegas is intense. You have to give guests a reason to visit your establishment, and you do that through providing personalized service and creating an energetic atmosphere that people want to be a part of.”

LARRY MILLWOOD

DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

3RD REEF DIVERS

Big Wave

“Practical, world experiences in all facets of your profession and having the passion to share them are important. I was offered the opportunity to learn scuba diving at an early age and was mesmerized by the marine life and its beauty. There are so many adventures waiting to be discovered, historical wrecks, photography, night diving, deep diving, or hovering weightless around a coral reef, observing the interactions at a cleaning station. These kinds of experiences led me to become a scuba instructor, but the training and learning should never stop. I continued my training and have been a certified PADI Course Director/Instructor Trainer since 1993, certified thousands of divers, and worked as a hardhat commercial diver contracted by the Department of Defense, US Navy, which allowed me to travel the world and open a dive facility on historic Midway Atoll. I also worked with Cirque du Soleil at the Bellagio to assist in creating the “O” Show and manage the dive training and safety department. I also took over the duties at the Dolphin Habitat as the Dive Safety Officer at the Mirage and later worked at the Le Reve show at Encore as a diver and Senior FX Operator. All led to 3rd Reef Divers, where we operate our business like a Big Dive Club, training and travel, gear repair, retail and rental, etc. Water covers over 70 percent of our planet and sustains all life. Let’s give back and take care of it while going on adventures of a lifetime, building friendships and lasting memories!”

Larry Millwood is the Director of Operations at 3rd Reef Divers, a full-service, PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center offering dive training at all levels.
