Celebs Flock To OMNIA Nightclub

In Vegas at  OMNIA Nightclub inside Caesars Palace was the party destination of choice for a number of celebrities, as “Blade” star Wesley Snipes, successful Hollywood filmmaker Brett Ratner, R&B singer-songwriter Keith Sweat, and “Vanderpump Rules” reality TV personality Tom Sandoval were all spotted enjoying a fun night out at the premier venue.

Sweat kicked off the night at the intimate ultra-lounge Heart of OMNIA, where he arrived at approximately 11:30 p.m. with 10 other guests. Seated at a VIP table, Sweat experienced the lively atmosphere at the weekly party event “Wild at Heart,” which featured tunes by DJ Turbulence for the evening. He appeared to be enjoying his time in the energetic venue as he was seen chatting with friends and sipping cocktails. Meanwhile, inside the main club, Sandoval arrived around 12:30 a.m. with a large group of about 30 people. Rumored to be in town for the Nightclub and Bar convention, Sandoval seemed to be in good spirits as he danced to a high energy set by OMNIA resident Kasakde while enjoying cocktails and chatting with friends before leaving at around 3:30 a.m. Just across the room, Hollywood royalty Snipes and Ratner were spotted at a premium VIP table with over 15 guests. Arriving together at approximately 1:30 a.m., the two were seen fully enjoying their time as they celebrated Ratner’s birthday in true Vegas fashion.

Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo are a powerhouse duo. Since 1979, Benatar and Giraldo have formed one of the most successful partnerships in music history.

During their nearly four-decade career, they have won an unprecedented, four consecutive Grammy awards as well as three American Music awards.

Their undeniable chemistry, Benatar's mezzo-soprano vocal range and Giraldo's trail blazing work as a producer, guitarist and songwriter created some of rock's most memorable hits. These include, "Promises in the Dark”, “Hell is For Children”, We Live For Love”, “Love Is A Battlefield”, “Hit me with Your Best Shot" and "We Belong".

Earlier this year, they recorded "Shine”, a new song written with Linda Perry, celebrating women's rights around the world.

Their rock and roll love affair has endured for 38 years and they continue to tour every year, wowing audiences everywhere.

With close to 40 years together and literally thousands of credits, including the biggest selling album of all time: Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and accolades to their names, TOTO remains one of the top selling touring and recording acts in the world.

In 2015, Toto released their first new studio album in ten years – TOTO XIV. The album exhibited world-class musicianship, masterful arrangements, topical lyrical commentary, and melodies that the collective talents of Lukather, Paich, Porcaro, Williams and their assembled band-mates brought to life.  It debuted Top 10 in nine countries around the world and became their most successful album since 1988 in the U.S. and UK.

In 2016 they released the Blu-Ray/DVD title Live At Montreux which quickly charted Top Five or better around the globe as well. With the band’s 40th Anniversary coming up in 2018, TOTO has major plans in the works to celebrate their enduring career.

Hip Hop Legends Coming In Concert To The Orleans Arena

Several legends of West Coast hip hop will bring their chart-topping hits to the Orleans Arena at the Las Vegas West Fest, presented by AAA Promotions and Q 100.5, on Friday, April 7.

Throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, West Coast hip hop dominated the rap music scene and gained incredible popularity as a genre. As the genre’s following grew, artists from Compton, Calif. and the San Francisco Bay Area created names for themselves as early contributors to the rise of West Coast rap music.

Ice Cube began his musical career in the controversial and uncensored rap group N.W.A. with Dr. Dre and Eazy-E. Together the group released “Straight Outta Compton,” a double-Platinum album that helped bring West Coast hip hop into the mainstream. As a solo artist, Ice Cube continued to deliver his hard-hitting rap songs in albums like “Lethal Injection” and “The Predator.” Aside from his music, Ice Cube has also enjoyed a successful career as an actor and filmmaker.

Early in his career, Bay Area rapper E-40 started his own record label, Sick Wid’ It, where he released his music independently. Jive Records took notice of his music’s increasing popularity and E-40 became one of the first Bay Area rappers to get signed to a major label. E-40 has went on to release numerous chart-topping hits like “U And Dat,” “Tell Me When To Go” and “Things’ll Never Change/Rapper’s Ball.”

Too $hort is recognized as a pioneer of West Coast hip hop and is best known for his hit songs "The Ghetto" and "Blow the Whistle." He began as an underground rap artist where he produced hits like “Born to Mack” and “Get In Where You Fit In.” Too $hort is one of the few hip hop artist to collaborate with both 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., and is currently working to release his 20th album in May.

Rounding out the show’s lineup are DJ Quik, Tha Dogg Pound, Rodney O and Joe Cooley.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets start at $54 plus tax and fees, and can be purchased by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000; online at www.orleanscasino.com; or in-person at gift shops inside The Orleans, Suncoast, Gold Coast and Sam’s Town. Tickets may also be purchased the day of the show (depending upon availability) at the venue box office.

Meet "The Kitchen Widow" And Support Nathan Adelson Hospice!


Nathan Adelson Hospice, Southern Nevada’s largest non-profit hospice, today announced that compelling keynote speaker Tembi Locke – known as The Kitchen Widow – will address the “Conversations about Caregiving” Symposium at the hospice’s 13th Annual Multicultural Luncheon. The event will be held March 31 at the Renaissance Hotel in Las Vegas.

The event starts at 10:30 a.m., and the luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. During the event, Locke will address loss and love, how to help each other through moments of crisis, and how she transforms grief and illness through cooking food. An actor, mother, writer, artist, chef’s wife and now a young widow, Locke is passionate about bringing people together in moments of crisis and helping others through hard transitions. She does this while savoring the flavors, food, and kitchen wisdom from her favorite island in Sicily.

At the event, she will discuss The Kitchen Widow, an inspirational online platform that reclaims the lost art of comfort that supports those confronting illness and loss. By focusing on what matters most - nourishing the body, heart and soul - The Kitchen Widow shares recipes, resources and inspiring content to help make the journey through illness and grief more bearable and more human. Since launching The Kitchen Widow, Locke has delivered a TEDx talk, spoken on behalf of caregivers alongside Kathy Bates, and formed numerous collaborations to support grief.

“Our annual symposium educates numerous community members and professionals about options, ideas and ways to better define the end-of-life journey,” said Carole Fisher, president and CEO of Nathan Adelson Hospice. “Tembi Locke will be a phenomenal keynote speaker as she shares her experiences of her husband’s death and coping through innovative, supportive strategies.”

The Multicultural Luncheon unites people from various cultures and faiths. It consistently relays important information and tools for industry professionals and the community in regards to healthcare trends and end-of-life care. Tickets are $75 per person or $700 for a table of 10. Sponsorships are also available. For tickets to the luncheon or more information, call Stephanie Forbes at Nathan Adelson Hospice at 702-938-3910 or visit www.nah.org.

Loft Living In Las Vegas! Make Your Interest In Juhl A Priority! Register!


Juhl, a 344–residence, loft-style community that spans an entire city block in downtown Las Vegas and is known for its flexible floor plans and industrial chic design aesthetic, will open for sales in late April with an interest list now forming. This urban destination, complete with 20,000-square-feet of specially curated ground level retail that complements the neighborhood’s existing retail, seamlessly connects downtown districts, including the Arts District, from which it draws significant inspiration.  Juhl is a popular residential choice for professionals and entrepreneurs, especially many who work at firms and courthouses throughout downtown’s expansive legal community.  

Juhl encompasses multiple buildings, including a high-rise, mid-rise, brownstones, live/work spaces, retail spaces and a warehouse style loft building. Many of its residences can be customized via 130 unique floorplan configurations, including many that are one-of-a-kind within the property.  Homes at Juhl range from 600 to just under 2,000 square feet and start in the high $100s.

Recently refreshed, Juhl boasts an upgraded resort-style pool with cabanas, lobby and co-op working spaces that cater to its professional residents. Hallmarks of Juhl include flexible floor plans, large terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize natural light. Private balconies, 10-foot ceilings, energy efficient design and details, exposed concrete surfaces and mechanicals and upgraded fixtures and surfaces all combine to create Juhl’s cool urban vibe.

Amenities include an al fresco screening room; two-story fitness facility overlooking the pool and spa; tenth floor wine patio, dining deck and fire pit; 24-hour security; gated parking structure with assigned resident parking; and full service concierge. A summer kitchen, called “Canvas Grill,” is the perfect spot for warm weather entertaining.  And a nearby Urban Garden plot exclusively for use by Juhl residents makes it possible to grow fresh herbs and vegetables – in the heart of the city.

According to Uri Vaknin, a partner at KRE Capital LLC, whose company, in partnership with Dune Real Estate Partners and Northcap, purchased Juhl in 2013 as DK Las Vegas, Juhl is home to scores of professionals who are drawn to the downtown lifestyle and the urban contemporary aesthetic of the property.

“Juhl is situated between the Arts District and Fremont East Entertainment District so its location, along with its robust retail offerings, serve to connect areas of downtown and create a more cohesive retail and dining experience,” said Vaknin. The community boasts its own “Artist in Residence” program that currently features local Las Vegan Justin Favela, whose work is showcased in “Tilting the Basin: Contemporary Art of Nevada,” an exhibit featuring more than 30 artists living and working across Nevada today.  Juhl is a sponsor of this two-month event in downtown Las Vegas that is also promoting a future modern art museum in the area.

“Interest is strong for those desiring to make Juhl their permanent home, including many who are currently living there as rental residents,” Vaknin continued. “Juhl offers a distinctly urban vibe that is elevated in both design and functionality. It is home to many attorneys and others who work in the downtown legal and professional services community, technology gurus, entrepreneurs and artists – all drawn to the area’s vibrancy and immediate access to all that downtown offers, including more than 150 restaurants, museums and other major attractions as well as the emerging Medical District. It’s an exceptional downtown community that is creating a diversity of living opportunities for those desiring to live in the heart of the action.”

Late last year, The Promenade at Juhl opened on the property’s ground level, further enhancing the convenience of living at Juhl and adding to the area’s growing sense of community. Seven of eight planned retail spaces are now open, including several that are owned and operated by Juhl residents embracing the dream of living and working in the same space.  Now open at The Promenade at Juhl are Greens & Proteins, a modern, family-friendly cafĂ© with a healthy twist; Le Pho, a popular Vietnamese kitchen; Classic Jewel, a cocktail lounge; A/V Boutique, specializing in home theater retail and design; Downtown DĂ©cor, offering eclectic and esoteric home furnishings and dĂ©cor; JAECI, offering inspirational jewelry; Galerie Miscre8, an urban gallery; Get a Haircut, a classic rock-themed barber shop; and coming soon is The Corner Market.

“Juhl is the next exciting addition to downtown’s evolution as a true urban center within the heart of our city,” said Vaknin.  “It provides a myriad of cosmopolitan living options for like-minded residents drawn to the area’s growing vibrancy.”
