ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE

The Hot List There’s a reason Las Vegas earned the nickname The Entertainment Capital of the World. Smoking hot production shows, the most sought-after musicians and insane illusions make Sin City a mecca to visit time and again.

16 W H E R E L A S V E G A S I AU G U S T 2017

For more information wheretraveler.com

Must-See Musicians Where else in the world can you hit one resort to find the smooth sounds of Boyz II Men and drop by another for the brother-and-sister act from Donny and Marie Osmond? Fans swoon for Philadelphia-born baritone Nathan Morris and tenors Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman and their catalog of ballads including “I’ll Make Love To You,” “On Bended Knee” and “One Sweet Day” at the Mirage. Marie’s a little bit country while her big brother Donny is a little bit rock and roll at the Flamingo. The duo relives their on-stage antics that mimic their variety show from the ’70s.

BIG PRODUCTIONS

Heavy-Hitting Shows LE RÊVE: THE DREAM This over-the-top aquatic wonder conveys the surreal nature of dreams, all playing out at Wynn in a theater in the round. The show’s finale features a dance and light spectacular with 172 high-powered fountains, 120 individual LED lightning fixtures, 16 fire-shooting devices and sensuous dance sequences.

LEFT: ©WYNN. MIDDLE: ©MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL. RIGHT: ©CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT.

KÀ Head over to the MGM Grand for this revelation from Cirque du Soleil that combines acrobatics, martial arts and puppetry. A brother and sister become separated and head on their own journeys to reunite. The KÀ Theater features a stage that tilts perpendicular to the audience for daring escapes by the cast as they simulate climbing a cliff. The archery scenes and the adorable sea creatures make this a show worth seeing.

Boyz II Men hands out roses to fans.

NIGHTLIFE

Over-The Top Bottle Service Make like a celeb and order up some of the most memorable bottle service presentations at the nightclubs of Las Vegas. At Hakkasan at the MGM Grand, bottle service can be customized with a personalized experience. LED drumlines, a Chinese dragon and even a throne have all been part of the celebrations there.

A server rides a Chinese dragon into Hakkasan Nightclub to deliver a bottle of champagne.

I Am Superman Hyde’s bottle service packages at the Bellagio start at $5,000. Superman, the Pink Panther and even the Super Mario Bros. have been known to make an appearance. Of course, a true high roller will go for the $250,000 bottle presentation that puts a VIP center stage at the nightclubs’s most-coveted patio table overlooking the Fountains of Bellagio. A gold box with a red button arrives with a menu of fountain songs to select. That button unleashes the 4,700 lights and 1,200 individual fountains as the song plays and a gold 30-liter bottle of Ace of Spades champagne, the equivalent of 40 champagne bottles, is delivered.

Clever Entrances BOTTLE FAIRY Look up. Tao Nightclub at The Venetian has a bottle fairy suspended from the ceiling who will gracefully flip through the air above the crowd before descending to a dance floor table, personally handing the bottle to the customer.

SPIES LIKE US Marquee Nightclub at the Cosmopolitan features a spy-themed bottle presentation for those who order three or more bottles of Ace of Spades Blanc de Blanc or Ace of

Spades Rose. Cocktail servers dressed in sunglasses and suit jackets come to the table handcuffed to a briefcase that holds the three bottles.

COLD SHOWER Comin’ in Hot is Encore Beach Club’s newest bottle presentation that features champagne showers and guests getting hosed down with water. The presentation includes Nebuchadnezzar (15.0L) of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label and 20 bottles of house bubbly. The cost? A cool $25,000.

Las Vegas Your Way

Late Night

First-Timer

Adventurous

Maybe you’ve been out partying until the wee hours of the morning. Maybe you woke up in the middle of the night and had a craving for pancakes. Either way, these restaurants in Las Vegas stay open 24 hours a day.

(1) Pantry (Mirage, 702.696.7050) keeps the doors open round the clock with homespun recipes made from fresh, wholesome ingredients, served in a cozy nook reminiscent of a French country kitchen. Go for the pancakes.

In an Irish mood? (2) Rock & Reilly‘s (Hawaiian Marketplace, 702.805.2777) dishes out breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a huge whiskey menu 24 hours a day. When enormous portions are calling, head to (3) Hash House A Go Go (The Linq, 702.254.4646) for awardwinning, farm-fresh food that is comforting day or night.

Las Vegas can be a bit overwhelming for the first-time visitor with its myriad activities, shows and restaurants. One easy entre into the city? Magic, which has played an integral part of the city‘s entertainment scene, starting back in 1947 when Jack Kodell performed with parakeets in “Fantasy in Birds” at the El Rancho Vegas. Head to the MGM Grand for (1) David Copperfield (866.740.7711), the most decorated magician in history, who makes whole audiences disappear. Magical duo (2) Penn & Teller (The Rio, 702.777.2782) brings equal parts magic, theatrics and pitch-black comedy. For another satirical approach to magic, try (3) Piff The Magic Dragon (Flamingo, 702.733.3333), an “America’s Got Talent” standout who performs with his chihuahua.

Pro tip: He‘s not related to Puff.

Head home with a memory and a story to tell your friends and family with these adventurous dining excursions. (1) Blackout Dining in the Dark (3871 S. Valley View Blvd.; 702.960.4000) turns out the lights so customers can rely on touch, hearing, taste and smell while waiters deliver food using night vision goggles. A four-course lunch or six-course dinner make the menus, and diners choose a savory, spicy or sweet option. (2) Lip Smacking Foodie Tours (various locations, 888.681.4388) takes diners to up to five of Vegas’ acclaimed restaurants in just one outing. Brunch, downtown and Strip options are available. Take a trip to Greece with the fare at (3) Estiatorio Milos (Cosmopolitan, 702.698.7930). Seafood is the specialty here, but go for the three-course lunch deal.
