SUMMER IN THE CITY

Burlesque Queen Las Vegas quite like burlesque, and no one quite captures the art like Dita Von Teese. The vixen treats audiences to four of her most exhilarating performances, including a brand new version of her iconic “Martini Glass” routine inside a champagne glass, crystalized from top to bottom with more than 250,000 Swarovski crystals. New acts include “Lazy,” an all-new ballet-themed act “Swan Lake Stripteese,” plus a revitalization of her showstopping Cowgirl Act with her sexy male “Vontourage.” 7:30 pm, July 10.

Tickets start at $50.

Provocative.

Playful. Sensual.

Las Vegas has it in spades when it comes to shows. Mistress of Sensuality Edie welcomes the crowd to “Zumanity,” showcasing the “sensual side of Cirque du Soleil. Divine acts take guests through a cabaret-style production with adult themes at New York-New York (3790 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 866.606.7111). Some favorites in the show? Brandon Pereyda and his outrageous red Mohawk strap into chains above the stage for some erotic aerials paired with a solo cellist. Even fans of “Fifty Shades of Grey” might blush when aerialist Jill Crook straps in. “Absinthe” at Caesars Palace (3500 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702. 785.5395) cleverly combines acrobatics, burlesque and naughty moves in a caberet-style show hosted by the foul-mouthed Gazillionaire and his wild assistant Joy Jenkins. The Green Fairy, Melody Sweets, keeps the show sensual as she floats down from the center of the Speigleworld tent as she sings while gorgeous beauties amaze audiences with bizarre acts including a madcap roller-skating duo and a feat of strength from a pair of bodyguards. “Le Rêve — The Dream” at Wynn (3131 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702. 770.9966) takes the sensual underwater. The newest addition brings a daring dance through spectacular water and fire elements that ends the show.

Girls, girls, girls.

These ladies know how to turn on the heat. Every one of the 13 sexy ladies fulfills a different fantasy in the show by the same name at the Luxor. Singer Lorena Peril leads the “Fantasy” (3900 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.262.4400) cast through 15 high-energy numbers set to a variety of today’s top music genres. Comic relief Sean E. Cooper keeps audiences on its toes and lets the audience cool off between numbers. Over at the Flamingo, “X Burlesque” (3555 Las Vegas Blvd.

S., 702.733.3333) brings six lovely ladies to the stage performing traditional burlesque numbers alongside modern takes on sizzling dance moves. Lucky audience members have a chance to be part of the show.

»

Guys

Buff boys turn on the charm as they take off their pants. “Magic Mike Live” (4455 Paradise Road, 702.693.5222), a live version on the movie made famous by actor Channing Tatum, recreates the Club Domina at the Hard Rock Hotel and has a battalion of boys dancing and stripping on a sizzling 360-degree dance floor. A naughty scene in a pool raises the temperature of the room. The hunky “Chippendales” (3700 W. Flamingo Road, 702.777.2782) brings the right guy for every girl with each dude dressed in cuffs and collars. The show at the Rio traipses through firemen, construction workers, Navy heroes and more with all body types, incredibly buff, represented. Catch your breath afterward in the Flirt Lounge.

Rooms

Should you need an excuse to stay in your room, the Palms (4321 Flamingo Road, 702. 942.7777) has the right suite for you. The 1,450-quare-foot Erotic Suite brings a sexy affair to any stay. The suite is decked out in electric red leather and brushed metals. The eight-foot bed with Egyptian bedding is paired with a mirrored ceiling to keep things really interesting. Enjoy a shower and a show with the dancing pole and nightclub-inspired lights.

A living room and two and a half bathrooms feature a wet bar and seven televisions.

Room rates start at $550 and include VIP passes to Ghostbar as well as Drift Spa and Fitness Center.

Pools

Can a pool scene get any hotter? Indeed, two pools offer Euro-style sunbathing for those who dare to bare. Over at the Mirage, Bare Pool Lounge (3400 Las Vegas Blvd. S., offers a private tropical paradise for adults with an intimate 14,000-square-foot oasis filled with six cabanas, eight VIP beds, eight daybeds, four tables and two luxury dipping pools. Tucked away at Mandalay Bay, Moorea Beach Club (3950 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.632.4760) offers “toptional” sunbathing, poolside massage services and even gaming. Venus Pool Lounge at Caesars Palace (3570 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702. 731.7110) features 14 cabanas, 16 day beds, 10 couches and plenty of chaise lounge chairs along with European sunbathing. Try a poolside massage from Qua while you’re there.

»

Food

Pick the right setting for a sensual evening. Encore’s Andrea’s (3121 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.770.5340) features Andrea Wynn’s seductive eyes behind the bar in a futuristic setting. Pan-Asian fare here includes Wagyu beef and lobster roll, New York strip steak with wasabi demi glacé and five-spice garlic lobster. Strip House at Planet Hollywood Resort (3667 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.737.5200) sits inside a red boudoir that can make any night memorable. Steaks, seafood and a signature chocolate layer cake help with the wooing. Carbone at Aria (3730 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 877.230.2742) lets guests sit inside canoodling booths with optional curtains, all set in a decadent retro space. Captains serve lobster fra diavolo, chicken scarpariello, veal parmesan and octopus pizzaiolo table side.

Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE

Phillip Samaniego Concierge at Vdara

Q: Tell me about one of your favorite places to send first-time Vegas visitors.

A: For all first-time visitors, I recommend seeing Fremont Street at least once during their visit. It is such a fun, lively place with a lot of great and talented artists and performers. They also have excellent prices on drinks.

Q: I want to update my Facebook photo. What should I have in the background of my selfie?

A: If you are looking for a great background for your newest selfie, I recommend the Fountains at Bellagio. Wait for the crescendo in the music and snap it.

Q: Tell me about your favorite hidden gem in Las Vegas.

A: My favorite hidden gem in Las Vegas is a sleek ultra lounge called Downtown Cocktail Room.

Located on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street with nothing more than a neon sign that reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;Downtownâ&#x20AC;? to identify it, you gain access to this secret place via a hidden door. They have an amazing seasonal cocktail menu and a DJ. Q: Where should I eat if I want to celebrate a special occasion?

A: An excellent place to dine when celebrating a special occasion is Herringbone located on the promenade level of Aria. This restaurant offers California coastal cuisine and has an amazing salt and brine bar where you can order items such as crab legs, shrimp, oysters and lobster tail.

Q: What has been your most unusual request as a concierge?

A: The most unusual and the craziest request would have to be the one time a guest called and was asking for a Donald Trump impersonator. It may not seem strange to most of you, but this was before Mr. Trump became our president and I thought it was such an out-there request.

Q: Who is your favorite Vegas celebrity chef?

A: A celebrity chef in Las Vegas that I like is Wolfgang Puck. He has several restaurants including the popular Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill located at MGM Grand. w w w.wh e re t rave le r. com 55

[WHERE INSIDE]

Las Vegas Your Way

Foodie

Luxury

Sink your teeth into prime rib, New York strip steaks, rib eye steaks and tenderloins. When you want the best beef out there, head to one of these steakhouses in Las Vegas. Chef José Andrés’ celebration of all things carnivorous features real Kobe beef at (1) Bazaar Meat (SLS, 702.761.7610). (2) Carnevino Italian Steakhouse (The Palazzo, 702.789.4141) brings Mario Batali’s interpretation of the classic steakhouse “al’ Italiano.” Try some of the restaruant's beef that’s aged up to 260 days, sold by the inch and tastes like bleu cheese.

The newest steakhouse in Las Vegas, (3) MB Steak, (Hard Rock Hotel, 702.483.4888) comes from brothers David and Michael Morton, who bring their family’s interpretation of the steakhouse experience. Yes, those Mortons.

Watch the fountains from (1) Hyde Bellagio (Bellagio, 702.693.8700) while listening to celebrity DJs take up the turntable—the lounge is a favorite of Nick Jonas and Jamie Foxx. It’s a great place to splurge on an over-the-top party package. Get a grand overview of the Strip with a night tour with (2) Maverick Helicopters (6075 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702.261.0007) in roomy choppers where you won’t lack for comfort or sight lines; Maverick's fleet is known as “limousines in the sky.” The Chef of the Century proves how he got that moniker every night at MGM Grand at his namesake restaurant (3) Joël Robuchon (MGM Grand, 702.891.7925). His cuisine is a vibrant mix of delicate colors and flavors; do not leave without a taste of his unforgettable caviar.

72 W H E R E L A S V E G A S I J U LY 2017

Music Lover

What’s the next best thing to the real thing?

An imitation. Las Vegas certainly has its fill of impersonation acts. (1) The Rat Pack Is Back (Tuscany, 702.947.5981) brings back the heyday of the worlds’ most famous entertainers—Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.—who put Las Vegas on the map with their music, comedy, style and pure cool. Many consider (2) Legends In Concert (Flamingo, 702.777.2782) the standard for all impersonator shows with its cast of characters that might include Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Janis Joplin and Michael Jackson. (3) MJ Live (Stratosphere, 702.380.7777) captures the essence of the King of Pop live in concert. Relive his biggest hits, dance moves and phenomenal voice. (4) Purple Reign (Westgate, 800.222.5361) comes packed with hits from the Purple One.
