A Long-Lasting Legend
Cher is an icon in so many ways. She’s putting the icing on the cake of her latest show at Park Theater Feb. 19-29, but she’s starred on several other Strip stages, including a residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from 2008 to 2011.
Her musical versatility is at the core of any Cher concert experience, but her uncommon style and legendary fashion sense is an equally gigantic part of her legacy. And she’s just as edgy in that world: The fashion brand DSquared2 opened its 25th anniversary celebration at Milan Fashion Week this month and unveiled a brand-new campaign starring Cher. Its first image is, of course, a black-and-white shot of the superstar in jeans and a sweater with the word “ICON” etched across the chest.
Raiding Rock Vault
Must-See: Raiding the Rock Vault
The hard-charging and endlessly fun Raiding the Rock Vault opened the year at its new home, the 172 music club and restaurant at the Rio, and the upstairs nook is quickly proving to be a great home for the six-year-old powerhouse show. It’s a time-tested tour of rock through the generations, opening with songs from the Woodstock era and cruising through familiar favorites like “Hotel California,” “Stairway To Heaven” and “Livin’ On A Prayer,” played by veteran rockers. Check it out at 7:30 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday.
Leona Lewis
Around the Strip
Where did you watch the Super Bowl? Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch hosted a Big Game watch party at Moneyline Sports Bar & Book at Park MGM, pouring shots of tequila for guests and enjoying a customized cake adorned with Skittles.
Singer Leona Lewis caught Atomic Saloon Show at The Grand Canal Shoppes and visited Madame Boozy Skunkton and the cast backstage after the show. Lewis has been spending a lot of time in Las Vegas lately and it’s no surprise; her husband is German choreographer and producer Dennis Jauch, one of the founders of the No Ceilings Entertainment team that co-created the new Mayfair Supper Club at Bellagio.
Back on the Strip for his band’s residency at Park Theater, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith continued his Vegas show-going tour by enjoying an evening at Absinthe at Caesars Palace.
RuPaul
Before the big debut of RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! at the Flamingo, RuPaul was spotted at Absinthe and tweeted about the show being “sooo freakin’ GREAT!” On the same night, Drag Race TV faves Alexis Mateo and Coco and Kahanna Montrese were spotted at Atomic Saloon Show. Celebs in attendance at the Vegas Drag Race premiere included music scion Kelly Osbourne, designer August Getty, actors Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman and Lala Milan, reality star Tiffany Pollard and drag performers Acid Betty, Aiden Zhane, Brita, Crystal Methyd, Dahlia Sin, Gigi Goode, Nicky Doll and more.
