WHISPER SUITE NOTHINGS
Lenny Kravitz—yes, the Lenny Kravitz—designed a sensual, 2,000-plus-square-foot suite at the new W hotel within the SLS. There’s a mirrored headboard, a wraparound balcony overlooking the Strip, a grand piano and a jacuzzi in the master bedroom. We’re not sure why, but that last one feels like a given.
CALL OF THE WILD
Whiskey in the Wilderness: it’s a one-day event in the beautiful Spring Mountains north of Vegas. Where you’ll taste whiskey, pick up butchery skills and eat meats cooked over an open fire by supremely talented chefs. All without seeing a single Wheel of Fortune slot machine.
MORNING GLORY
And here you have a new restaurant called the Copper Whisk Café, serving chicken and waffles, plate-size cinnamon rolls and other breakfast-y comestibles until 2am at the Orleans hotel. Oh, but one never has the urge to eat breakfast at 1am in Vegas…
POP STAR
If you visit Salvatore Calabrese’s famed cocktail bar, Bound, on Sunday night to watch the Oscars, you have about as good a chance of receiving a gratis glass of champagne as Viola Davis does of receiving the award for Best Supporting Actress. Meaning: 100%. What, you didn’t see Fences?
HAIR METAL
Rock and roll. Good haircuts. The two are not explicitly synonymous. Except at Get a Haircut, a sleek new barbershop from a 17-year veteran of the trade, littered with Marshall amps, Paul Stanley’s guitar and other pieces of music memorabilia. So there.
Sam Eichner likes literature, reality television and his twin cats equally. He has consistently been told he needs a shave since he started growing facial hair.
