Art of the Meal

How many of you remember being told as a kid, "Don't play with your food?" Sterling Buckley, executive chef for Palate Las Vegas, is lucky. He never got that message. "The plate is your canvas, so I like to have a little fun with it," Chef Buckley says. "I always say my food is playful, like my kids, and sexy, like my wife."

Allan Rich: Chart-Topping and Not Stopping

The name Allan Dennis Rich might not ring a bell, but this songwriter’s colossal catalog of cuts will. Rich is the two-time Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe-nominated songwriter behind such blockbusters as Whitney Houston’s Run to You from The Bodyguard to Natalie Cole’s I Live For Your Love to the No. 1 hit single I Don’t Have the Heart by James Ingram

The Last Great Beatles Summit: LOVE’s Lasting Legacy

What started as a look back at the Last Great Beatles Summit almost 18 years ago at the grand opening of “The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil” at The Mirage Hotel & Casino quickly became a loving tribute to the show’s iconic legacy. When Jeremy Louwerse and Stacey Gualandi set out to write this story for Chic Compass, they thought we would have LOVE in our lives through the end of 2024. But Cirque du Soleil’s shocking announcement yesterday that the show will close for good on July 7th saddened our hearts.

Make Laughs, Not War

It’s the interview heard ’round the world! When comedy legend Katt Williams joined former NFL tight end Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast on January 3rd, he had a take-no-prisoners attitude throughout a nearly three-hour-long conversation.

Stripped Down Spirits at Magic Mike Live

Every time my BFF JJ Snyder and I take in Magic Mike Live, it doesn’t take long to get in the spirit of the long-running male revue based on the hit movies. The experience at Sahara on the Las Vegas Strip is so visceral it always appeals to the senses: sight, smell, sound, and, if you’re lucky, touch. ;)

Dean Nancy Uscher

Dr. Nancy Uscher, as the Dean of UNLV’s College of Fine Arts, certainly knows what she speaks of, but she didn’t share that sentiment during her current tenure at the university. She wrote those prescient words in her high school yearbook when she was just 17.
