Adam Ant & The Glam Skanks Concert Comes To Brooklyn Bowl 2/10!!


Following his recent sold out UK tour, pop icon Adam Ant is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the release of his landmark “Kings of the Wild Frontier” album with a newly-remastered reissue (Sony Legacy UK) and North American tour.  Adam will play the classic album in its entirety, and in sequence, including the first-ever live performance of the track “Feed Me To The Lions”.  For ticket information, visit http://www.adam-ant.com/.

"I'm really looking forward to performing the 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' album live and in sequence plus my other favorite songs from the repertoire, in the USA,” Adam said.

“Kings of the Wild Frontier” introduced the Burundi Beat style of thundering, infectious, Central African drumming to a pop-music audience.  Adam captured the live sound by incorporating two drummers into his band, a musical signature that remains to this day.

In addition to remastering the classic album, Adam personally designed the deluxe box set that includes items from his extensive personal archive and a bonus DVD of the out-of-print “Ants In Japan” concert video.

The platinum album, originally released in 1980, crowned the UK Album Chart and spent more time in the top position than any other album at the time.  The album went on to achieve worldwide recognition and produced massive chart-topping singles including the classic “Antmusic”, the breakthrough tribal onslaught of “Dog Eat Dog” and the epic title track.

The original USA version of the album replaced the track "Making History" with the classics "(You're So) Physical" and "Press Darlings".  The album climbed the Billboard Top 200 chart and produced three Top 20 hits for “Antmusic”, “Dog Eat Dog” and “(You’re So) Physical”.


Opening for Adam And will be the Glam Skanks (www.GlamSkanks.com) this all girl band has opened for Alice Cooper, played as Cherie Curry’s backup band, have a new song in Kevin Smith’s new “Yoga Hosers” movie, hung out with celebs like Johnny Depp and just released their new album “Glitter City”.

A Relaxing & Glowing Experience! My Services At The Casablanca Spa - Blissful!

Add caption

Stress builds up when you are in the city. Whether from drivers cutting you off from being stuck in the wrong line at the grocery store. It all adds up and you can feel it in the tenseness of your neck and shoulder muscles and sometimes all over! Also your skin is bombarded everyday with pollution and grime. Stress can also have a huge effect on the appearance and texture of your skin. Thank goodness a “cure” from the stress and tensions of living in Las Vegas is only a little over an hour away in Mesquite Nevada.  

After a relaxing drive you have the choice to either self-park or use Valet at The Casablanca. No charge for parking and no charge for Valet! The entrance is wide and no jockeying for position or crazy lane changes at this front door. Just car door to front door service. If you are checking into the resort then valet is the way to go or if you are just using the spa services there is parking available on the south side near the spa. Once again short door to door walking distance.

We visited the spa for some pampering and the services were wonderful. Upon check in at the front desk you are given a locker key and a plush soft terry cloth robe. Just the act of getting undressed in a soft lit dressing room, as you take off the layers of clothing you feel as if you are peeling away layers of stress. AWW relaxation! They have a spa room complete with cushy soft chairs to snuggle up in or chaise lounges where you can stretch out and relax on. The room has magazines or you can simply nap between services. Be sure and hydrate! You can choose fresh spring water flavored with oranges, cucumbers or lemon.


My first service was a Body Scrub followed by a 50 minute Swedish massage. This Whipped Honey Scrub is the perfect pair alongside the massage. Imagine nice firm strokes exfoliating your dry winter skin. This scrub from Farm House Fresh has an amber-like scent with notes of clove and nutmeg combined with silky rice bran oil and the finest of salt grains to deliver soft skin like you’ve simply never felt before.  Heavenly and on the table I did fall asleep which is always a great way to tell if you are truly relaxed. After your scrub your masseuse then gently rinses away the scrub while you are in a state of bliss on the heated table. A truly decadent delicious experience. All of the Farm House Fresh products are organic and vegan and mostly gluten free.

Now for the massage…..such a wonderful experience. Have you ever had an experience where your massage was not truly relaxing? Maybe the pressure was to firm or not firm enough. Not here at the Mesquite Spa, Samantha worked on all of my problem areas and I could feel my neck and shoulder muscles relaxing under her firm strokes. Fifty minutes goes quickly when you are in such a blissful state and when Samantha said she was finished, I literally had to wake myself up! After waking up and hydrating I spent some time in the spa room. Stretched out on a chaise lounge fully relaxed and in nice warm terry robe, well the level of my contentment was off the charts.

Next on my services that day was a Cranberry Pomegranate Facial. I am a beauty junkie and love being introduced to new products. At the spa they use the Éminence Organic Skin Care line, which uses the finest natural, organic and biodynamic ingredients to provide you with the best organic skin care products in the market today. My estichican Carol started off my examining my skin. She then recommended a mixture of the following:
 
Acai firm skin cleanser - Antioxidant-rich acai berries are perfect for revitalizing mature skin. This cream cleanser also blends hyaluronic acid and seabuckthorn oil to restore the appearance of elasticity to the skin and present a more youthful look. Cruelty-free and formulated without parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, animal by-products, phthalates, GMOs and triclosan.

Strawberry Rhubarb exfoliant - Replenish your skin’s youthful appearance  with this Strawberry Rhubarb Masque. The strawberries gently exfoliate while the rhubarb and vegan-friendly hyaluronic acid calm and plump, for a refreshed appearance.

Blueberry Detox Peel -  This naturally exfoliating peel deep cleans pores and tones the look of skin. The combination of blueberry juice, raspberry juice, blackberry juice and pineapple extract is high in vitamins and antioxidants that will nourish and refresh your skin. Plus, lactic acid will remove dead skin cells and improve the appearance of your skin’s texture.

Hawthorn Tonique - For dehydrated, irritated and sensitive skin, the Hawthorn Tonique will give your skin a revitalized appearance. Use the power of hawthorn, chamomile and marjoram to reduce the appearance of skin irritation. Made with Biodynamic® ingredients from Demeter International Certified Biodynamic® farms.

Cranberry mask mixed with a Citrus & Kale mask (the Cranberry mask has been discontinued) But the Citrus and Kale mask is available  - a potent, cream-gel masque for all skin types. Harness the natural power of Vitamins C+E with a boost of nourishing vitamins for the skin. A cocktail of citrus, rhubarb extract, leafy greens and avocado oil forms helps reduce the appearance of sun damage and fine lines and wrinkles.

Neroli Eye serum - Nourish and hydrate the look of the delicate skin around your eyes. Neroli oil, coconut water and green apple stem cell technology fight the visible signs of aging, including the appearance of crow’s feet and fine lines.

Bearberry Eye repair cream - Ultra-hydrating eye cream with bioactive ingredients to hydrate and nourish the appearance of skin around the fragile eye contour area. Meadow eyebright, hop and bearberry help to reduce the visible signs of aging.

Arctic Berry Peptide Radiance cream - Ultra-hydrating jojoba oil works alongside their exclusive Peptide Illuminating Complex to soothe your skin. It’s a powerful daily moisturizer for all skin types.  Arctic Plants & Berries: a blend of 4 antioxidant-rich plants (cloudberry seed, arctic roseroot, arctic meadowsweet and juniper sprouts); helps prevent the signs of aging


My skin was glowing after this specialized treatment! After a 10 hour plane ride and traveling stress my skin was still glowing a week later! Absolutely one of the best facials I have received in a long time. My husband Frank had a similar facial and his skin was healthy looking and glowing. Great service for a great price.  

The CasaBlanca Resort & Casino offers a $99 package, which includes a one-night stay and choice of a 50-minute spa treatment at The Spa & Salon. Spa hours are 8 a.m. – 7 p.m. daily.  For more information or to book a service, call 866.401.6021 or 702-346-6760.

Steak & Irish Whiskey Is Now Being Served At Smith & Wollensky


Smith & Wollensky, regarded in many circles as America's Steakhouse, is celebrating the spirit of the Irish with a Steak & Whiskey Event, taking place now through March 19. During the Steak & Whiskey Event, Smith & Wollensky is showcasing IrishAmerican™ Whiskey, producers of classic Irish Whiskey with a distinctive trademark name as their whiskey is matured in first fill ex-American bourbon casks and distilled in the southwest coast of Ireland. The casks and aging create an exceptional flavor that is filtered in a non-chill process, allowing the taste and character of the casks to come through. In preparation for St. Patrick's Day festivities, guests are invited to get whisked away with a variety of IrishAmerican Whiskey-inspired cocktails, specialty tasting flight and an old-fashioned rubbed 10-ounce filet mignon (additional details are below) available now through March 19.

Available March 1-19 is the crown jewel of the Steak & Whiskey event- a USDA Prime Kansas City Bone-In Sirloin that has been dry-aged in IrishAmerican whiskey for 30 days.  Renowned for its on-premise dry-aging process, Corporate Executive Chef Matt King is taking one of Smith & Wollensky's most popular cuts and aging it for 30 days wrapped in an IrishAmerican Whiskey-soaked cheesecloth, instilling a unique whiskey-infused flavor into this signature dry-aged cut.  A video of that process is available here:



"As a chef, I am excited to draw inspiration from IrishAmerican Whiskey and present its outstanding flavor in our beautiful USDA Prime sirloins, one of our most celebrated cuts of meat at Smith & Wollensky," said Corporate Executive Chef Matt King. "Through this dry-aging process, we're going to impart some of the distinctive flavors from the whiskey into the beef, so we'll have a balance of fruitiness, smokiness, and a taste of American Oak from the cask. The dry-aging process is going to increase the tenderness of the steak as well. We are keenly overseeing this process as it develops and look forward to sharing these specialty steaks with our guests starting March 1 through St. Patrick's Day weekend."

Now aging, this select USDA Prime Bone-In Kansas City Sirloin will be available in a limited quantity and guests are encouraged to reserve their steaks ONLINE  or by phone, noting "Whiskey-Aged Steak" in the reservation request. The Steak & Whiskey Event offerings are available at Smith & Wollensky locations in the following cities: Boston, Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami Beach and New York.  In addition to the reservation-only Kansas City Sirloin available March 1-19, Smith & Wollensky is currently offering the following:

Old Fashioned Rubbed Filet Mignon- a 10-ounce filet mignon rubbed with angostura orange bitters, whiskey-smoked sugar and orange zest. The filet is finished with a whiskey gastrique using IrishAmerican Classic Blend and Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur. Priced at $53.
Whiskey Tasting Flight- this tasting flight features IrishAmerican Classic, which uses 70% malted Irish barley in its blend, and the IrishAmerican 10 Year, which uses 100% single malted Irish barley, for guests interested in tasting both premium selections available. Each have unique differences in appearance, flavor profile and richness. Priced at $16 for two one-ounce flights.
Signature IrishAmerican Cocktails- perfectly paired with steaks or enjoyed on their own, choices include a IrishAmerican Smash (IrishAmerican Classic Blend, mint, mixed berries, angostura berries, lemon, simple syrup) and IrishAmerican Club (IrishAmerican Classic Blend, apricot brandy, dry vermouth, egg white, lemon, simple syrup, orange peel). Each priced at $14.
