Walk this Way
Even Rock and Roll Hall of Famers go all out when it’s time to play the Strip. Boston bad boys Aerosmith are pulling out all the stops for Deuces are Wild, their Park Theater residency opening on April 6. They’ve teamed with director Amy Tinkham (Paul McCartney, James Taylor), producer Steve Dixon (Guns N’ Roses, Justin Timberlake) and The Beatles LOVE producer Giles Martin for this new production, as well as design studio Fireplay and special effects outfit Pixomondo, known for its work on Game of Thrones. The band has also partnered with THX and L-Acoustics to deliver the world’s first THX-certified live performance presented in L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound. You know the music, but you’ve never seen or heard Aerosmith like this before.
Must-See: Magic Mike Live
Magic Mike Live
For nearly two years now, Magic Mike Live has been reinventing the male revue and the entire idea of what it means to be a sexy show in Las Vegas from its home at the Hard Rock Hotel. It’s irreverent but progressive, designed for women but across-the-board fun, edgy and uproarious. The dancers are talented, charming and seductive, but the real stars of this show are the audience members, who are rightfully worshipped and entertained. It’s been so successful that another version of the Channing Tatum-backed show has been launched in London. But Vegas is where it all started and the subterranean space now known as Club Domina—formerly the legendary nightclubs Body English and Baby’s—is a truly unique and ideal venue for this one-of-a-kind show.
Around the Strip
Zappos Theater resident headliner Gwen Stefani helped reveal the first-ever themed exam room for patients of Nevada’s only childhood cancer outpatient treatment center. She worked with the Cure 4 The Kids Foundation to inspire the design of the brightly colored exam room, and Las Vegas artist Juan Muniz created illustrations that cover the walls, including a rendition of Stefani. With her partners Live Nation and Caesars Entertainment, Stefani is donating $1 from every ticket purchased to her show to Cure 4 The Kids.

Illusionist Criss Angel gave comedian Billy Crystal a special backstage tour after enjoying Angel’s immersive, illusion-packed production Criss Angel MINDFREAK at Planet Hollywood.
While the U.K.’s top-selling pop star Robbie Williams was launching his residency at Wynn’s Encore Theater, his American actress wife Ayda Field Williams was spotted spotted attending Magic Mike Live at the Hard Rock Hotel. After the show, The X Factor U.K. judge met with the cast.
He’s getting ready to open his own comedy club nearby so it makes sense that late-night talk host Jimmy Kimmel was spotted dining (with former Saturday Night Live comedian Chris Parnell) at The Linq Promenade’s tasty Virgil’s Real Barbecue restaurant recently.
