			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s a whole lot of “new” happening over at The Mirage in Las Vegas. Gone is long-time nightlife staple JET Nightclub, in its place is now the gorgeous <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-nightclub-1oak/">1 OAK</a> Vegas…a brand-new west coast incarnation of the Manhattan hot-spot. <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-restaurant-stack/">STACK Restaurant</a> has undergone an overhaul of sorts as well, not to the beautiful canyon-like hardwood design of the room itself, but the coveted menu has been spruced up a bit. You’re not going to find drastic change at STACK with this menu revamp, just welcome additions to the already delicious steaks, seafood and shared-plate style appetizer selections.</p>

<p>A long-time patron of STACK myself, I realized I had gotten increasingly comfortable with the already fantastic menu…a visit for dinner meant I’d be ordering from memory, a creature of habit I guess. With the menu overhaul, I forced myself to take in-hand a physical menu when offered to me, and was delighted to find a number of interesting new offerings top to bottom. Appetizers are served family style, small plates meant to be shared for the table, perfectly sized bites of all different types. Many of STACK’s staple dishes have garnered almost celebrity status in the Vegas food world, it seems almost sacrilegious to not order the hot rock, adult-tater tots or buffalo style wings during a visit. Now, yellowtail crunch, pan-seared dumplings and lobster tacos spruce up the small plates fare…all incredibly tasty. My personal favorite of the new signature small plates was the mini lamb gyros, heaping with wood-grilled lamb and paired with a tangy yogurt sauceI almost had to order a second helping.</p>

<p>The highlight of the night for me was the new roasted tomato soup, a self-proclaimed soup connoisseur, I have to admit it is easily one of the best I have ever had. Served with a delicious grilled cheese sandwich on the side, perfect for dipping in the rich soup, this dish could easily be a light meal all by itself.</p>

<p>The Colorado Rack of Lamb was the definite standout amongst the new entrees, it arrived perfectly cooked on a bed of confitfingerling potatoes with a simply amazingred wine jus and heirloom onions. STACK’s classic steak selections remain on the menu, with a few new friends. Added to the beef selections are a bone-in 24oz. Tomahawk Ribeye and The Ultimate Surf &#038; Turf. The latter a monstrous 40oz porterhouse paired with a 2lb stuffed lobster, complete with your choice of two signature sides and two signature sauces. The Ultimate Surf &#038; Turf is more than enough grub for a group of four to share if you went all-out on the signature small plates, soups and salads. Sides at STACK are handled much in the same way appetizers are, meant to be shared, each side can easily accommodate two diners… pick a selection for the table, there will be plenty to go around. The new XL Twice baked potato tasted as amazing as it looked, and the ridiculously tastytruffle hollandaise sauce that accompanied the steamed asparagus could easily be slathered on just about anything.</p>

<p>If you’re a long-time fan of STACK, it’s definitely time to make a return visit to sample the new fare. Your favorite dishes will still be there, fear not, and the newcomers on the menu definitely step up to the plate in a big way. You’ll find yourself wanting to order one of everything, which is fully acceptable, but remember to save some room for a round of dancing at 1Oak Nightclub afterwards.</p><!-- PHP 5.x -->]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gabe Saporta, along with his Cobra Starship band-members, including Ryland Blackinton, Nate Novarro, Alex Suarez and Victoria Asher (aka Vicky-T) rocked-out on Friday night at Sin City hot spot <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-nightclub-1oak/">1 OAK</a>.<span id="more-5814"></span>  Cobra Starship hit the stage around 1:45 a.m. and performed an exclusive, high-energy set for partygoers including Jessica Alba, Cash Warren, Rachel Zoe, Roger Berman and Haylie Duff who were in town for a Chanel event. Girls were going nuts when Cobra Starship started their live show with their chart-topping hit, &#8220;Good Girls Go Bad,&#8221; and concluded the set with their popular club jam, &#8220;You Make Me Feel,&#8221; which had everyone dancing and singing along.  Earlier in the evening, the Cobra Starship crew enjoyed dinner at <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-restaurant-stack/">Stack Restaurant &#038; Bar</a> at The Mirage, trying out several items on the restaurant&#8217;s new menu.  After dinner, around 12 a.m., Gabe, Ryland, Nate and Alex surprised Vicky-T, the only girl and keytarist in their band, with a bright pink birthday cake in the shape of a keyboard guitar.  Vicky-T was so surprised&#8230;she was smiling and having a blast the entire time as 1 OAK&#8217;s waitresses presented her with the specialty birthday cake.  Gabe and the birthday girl even tried to get their hands dirty and play the edible instrument cake.</p>
 
<p>&#8220;Glee&#8221; star, Naya Rivera celebrated her birthday at Las Vegas&#8217; newest hot spot, 1 OAK at The Mirage, on Saturday night.  Arriving just after midnight, Naya and several friends, including her &#8220;Glee&#8221; co-star Dianna Agron, and family members, including her mom, Yolanda Rivera, and her brother, Mychal Rivera, partied at her VIP table just behind the DJ booth.  Naya and her crew sipped rosé champagne and danced the night away to an exclusive DJ set by Fernando Garibay, most notably known for being the musical director for Lady Gaga&#8217;s album &#8220;Born This Way.&#8221;  Naya began her evening with dinner at celebrity hot spot Stack Restaurant &#038; Bar at The Mirage before heading over to 1 OAK where she was presented with a large pink birthday cake in the shape of a slushy!</p>
 
<p>Back in the States, following a recent trip to Haiti for the two year anniversary of the devastating earthquake, Wyclef Jean partied and performed live at Sin City hot spot, <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-nightclub-bank/">The Bank</a> at Bellagio, taking shots of tequila and mingling with friends and fans before performing a special live set of his hits, including &#8220;No Woman No Cry,&#8221; &#8220;Gone Till November,&#8221; &#8220;Killing Me Softly&#8221; and &#8220;Ready Or Not,&#8221; among others.  Wyclef hung out all night at The Bank, before he had to head to the airport for an early morning flight.</p><!-- PHP 5.x -->]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sin City&#8217;s hottest new nightclub, <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-nightclub-1oak/">1 OAK</a> at The Mirage, hosted a one-of-a-kind performance by Maroon 5 front man and NBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Voice&#8221; coach Adam Levine on Friday night.  Beginning his night with a dinner at <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-restaurant-stack/">Stack</a>, Adam and several friends, including<span id="more-5807"></span> his protege and winner of season 1 of &#8220;The Voice,&#8221; Javier Colon, headed to 1 OAK just a little after midnight. Inside the club, DJ Karma was setting the high-energy mood for the packed house while 1 OAK co-founder, Richie Akiva, hyped-up partygoers with shout-outs on the mic. Around 1:45 a.m., Adam got on stage and performed several of his chart-topping hits, including &#8220;Moves Like Jagger&#8221; and his collaboration with Gym Class Heroes, &#8220;Stereo Hearts.&#8221; Girls rushed to the stage, trying to get as close as they could to Adam. After the show, Adam headed back to his VIP table &#8212; just next to Richie, 1 OAK co-founder Scott Sartiano and managing partner Eli Pacino&#8217;s table &#8212; to enjoy a few more drinks before leaving a little before 3 a.m.</p>
 
<p>Friday night followed an incredible Thursday night party at 1 OAK Las Vegas, presented by Beats By Dre, with Dutch DJ Laidback Luke behind the turntables. Laidback Luke performed an exclusive, high-energy three hour set for the packed club, including Dr. Dre and music mogul Jimmy Lovine.</p>

Following dinner, the crew headed over to <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-nightclub-bank/">The Bank</a> and, upon arrival, were escorted to a VIP table. Enjoying cocktails and champagne, the Wilhelmina models spent their night dancing, mingling and taking pics, documenting their 48 hours in Sin City.</p>
 
<p>The two-part Wilhelmina model weekend takeover at The Bank, featuring 30 of Wilhelmina Modeling Agency&#8217;s top models, including Gabriel Aubrey, Sara McNeilly and Anna Zanovello as well as Wilhelmina president, Sean Patterson, culminated on Saturday. Beginning with a light-hearted lunch at <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-lounge-diablos/">Diablo&#8217;s Cantina</a> at Monte Carlo, the models were then treated to a leisurely afternoon and hair and make-up, VIP-style, in their hotel suites courtesy of Michael Boychuck Salon before they headed out for another night on the town in Sin City. The party, once again, started at dinner, this time at Bellagio&#8217;s premiere Japanese eatery, <a href="http://lightgroup.com/las-vegas-restaurant-yellowtail/">Yellowtail</a>, where the models indulged in an exclusive selection of executive chef Akira Back&#8217;s most popular dishes as well as several of Yellowtail&#8217;s delicious specialty cocktails. Around midnight, following dinner, the Wilhelmina crew headed to The Bank for another spectacular evening of dancing and partying with The Bank&#8217;s exclusive set of Saturday night partygoers and resident DJ Karma behind the turntables. Hanging out with the crew was birthday-girl and Grammy Award winning songstress, Estelle and style expert Robert Verdi. The Bank surprised the singing sensation when they presented Estelle with a specialty two-tiered Jean Philippe birthday cake. The dazzling beauties and hunky hotties partied at The Bank until around 3 a.m. taking pictures with fans and dancing their last night in Las Vegas away.</p>
