Chef Rick Moonen has achieved an unprecedented culmination of culinary feats starting with the much-anticipated unveiling of Rick Moonen’s rm seafood upstairs, the fine dining element of his two-story eponymous restaurant. That announcement was soon followed by a James Beard semi-finalist nomination for “Best Chef Southwest” and news that he will be avenging his untimely Season One elimination from Bravo’s Top Chef Masters as a returning contestant on the second season of the highly rated show, premiering April 7.

In anticipation of the reopening of Rick Moonen’s rm seafood upstairs, Chef Moonen and his staff worked tirelessly during the past year crafting a dining experience that is second-to-none. Moonen has employed the expertise of Executive Chef Adam Sobel, whose enviable culinary experience includes working in the award-winning kitchens of Guy Savoy and Bradley Ogden, and Chef de Cuisine Gerald Chin, who made a name for himself in New York before joining Bradley Ogden’s and Joël Robuchon’s teams in Las Vegas. The three esteemed chefs have completely reinvented the menu to include distinctive and imaginative dishes presented with an artful flair.

“When I was creating the menu, I wanted to push the boundaries of fine dining and bring it to an entirely new level,” Chef Moonen said. “The dishes we’ve produced are innovative, playful and even interactive — part of the Vegas dining experience that I felt was missing.”

Proving that his culinary expertise extends far beyond simple seafood, Moonen serves up inventive dishes, such as Spider Crab, an item with artichoke, sunchoke and ruby red grapefruit surrounded by Dungeness crab which clings to the rim of the bowl like a spider; Onion Soup 3000, a deconstructed version of the French classic comprised of Gruyère custard, onion velouté served atop a caramelized onion chip; and the Chocolate Car Bomb, a creative combination of Guinness Beer ice cream topped with Baileys Original Irish Cream and beer suds.

Of course, a trip to rm seafood would not be complete without sustainable seafood done as only this restaurant can; jet-fresh menu favorites include Walu in Cherry Leaf with white soy emulsion, Shitake mushroom and Yuzu powder; Baked Tasmanian Ocean Trout with king crab, yellow endive and orange carpaccio; and Roasted Turbot with saffron chorizo congee, mussels and rice cracker.

Executive Chef Adam Sobel said, “When we set out to reestablish Rick Moonen’s rm seafood upstairs we wanted to do the traditional untraditionally. And of course, to continue rm’s commitment to using only sustainably caught seafood.”

The thoughtfully crafted, completely sustainable wine list is compiled using a three-page questionnaire to hand select each label based on its sourcing and environmental practices. A diverse, 630-bottle selection offers choices that span the globe with options from up-and-coming American Viognier, some of France’s finest Côtes-Du-Rhône and a stellar selection of premium sake.

Moonen’s commitment to serving only the best seafood illustrates his ongoing advocacy for sustainable fishing practices and sound environmental stewardship. He is a founding member of the Seafood Choices Alliance, a non-profit organization that encourages other chefs and the food industry to make thoughtful choices in the seafood marketplace, as well as an active member of the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch.

Chef Moonen explained, “We want the food our guests eat to not only be innovative, but thought-provoking as well. We want our diners to take pause and think about where their food came from. At my restaurant, only sustainably caught seafood is on the menu so our guests can take comfort in the fact that the food they’re eating is not only delicious, but environmentally friendly as well.”

With the completion of the upstairs menu, Moonen now is ready to take care of some unfinished business on Bravo’s Top Chef Masters. On the first season of the popular reality series Chef Moonen failed to complete his Moon Doggies in the “Quick Fire Challenge” and while he received top marks in the final challenge this mistake cost him the competition. Luckily his winning personality and culinary prowess secured him a spot on Season Two and he’s looking forward to showing the world what he is capable of cooking up.

Chef Moonen quipped, “I’m unbelievably thankful they’re giving me a second chance to redeem myself. I want to show everyone that I could have been a contender.”

Fans of the show will get to “watch what happens” when Top Chef Masters: Season Two premieres April 7 on Bravo. Chef Moonen will make his debut on the April 21 episode at 10 p.m. EST/PST. For a sneak peek go to: www.bravotv.com/top-chef-masters/videos/the-masters-are-back.

Rick Moonen’s rm seafood upstairs is open Tuesday – Saturday, 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Reservations are encouraged and can be made by calling (702) 632-9300.

Taking a stellar approach to spa treatments and applications, Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace is offering a suggested sampling of services based upon the notion that astrology and wellness are in many ways intertwined.

A Qua Horoscope reveals that Aries – the Ram (March 21 – April 19) is characterized as being energetic, creative, assertive, bold, carefree, and individualistic. As explored in the book Planetary Apothecary by Stephanie Gailing, the fire element reflects Aries dynamic energy and exudes inspiration, passion and enthusiasm.

Fountain of Youth: To fully balance your chakras and feel ultimately relaxed, try a signature calming ritual. During this traditional Shirodhara treatment, warm healing botanicals are slowly poured onto the forehead or “third eye,” awakening the seat of intuition. The soothing oils are then massaged into the hair and scalp, followed by energy work. Enjoy this rejuvenating 50 minute treatment for $170.

Qua Mystic Journey: Stimulate your senses with an astonishing body/facial ritual that includes the finest experiences. The journey begins with a pearlescent body gommage comprised of pure virgin coconut oil, lotus flower and imported Bora Bora sand. Warm towels remove the gommage leaving skin with a silky glow. Then, a warm French mud is softly applied and you are layered with warm towels and wrapped in a blanket to maximize the experience. An essential oil facial to relieve fatigue coupled with a mini scalp treatment combining deep sea blue algae highlights this $300, 75 minute treatment.

Hypnosis for Stress Relief: Qua’s Master Hypnotherapist can teach relaxation techniques to help take control of known stress triggers. For many people, this 50-minute session offers relief from migraines and other stress-induced discomfort for $99.

Volcanic Clay Body Mask: Purify, revitalize and tighten the skin with a mask that is made from two of nature’s most powerful detoxifiers, volcanic ash and China clay. The 75-minute treatment begins with an exfoliation scrub, followed by the clay mask. Hot towel compressions with hydrating lavender lotion application complete this rejuvenating $150 experience.

Chakra Stone Face Ritual: This treatment is designed to renew and refresh the face while rebalancing chakras. Precious stones are aligned on the seven chakras as an artisan induces a deep state of relaxation. The experience is enhanced with an immediate treatment of aromatherapy oils. A custom aromatherapy facial nourishes, hydrates and revives tired skin while a gentle warm stone facial massage increases circulation. The 50-minute treatment is topped off with a warm oil mini scalp treatment to complete the $99 ritual.

Spring is the perfect time to pamper your feet. Throughout March, Color Boutique in Caesars Palace Las Vegas is offering a special 60-minute Reflexology and Pedicure Package for only $100. Based on a system of identified zones and reflex areas, the 30-minute reflexology session involves applying varying pressure to the feet. The special treatment is followed by a 30-minute expert foot grooming service.

Michael Boychuck’s Seasonal Style Tip: “Highlights are a great choice for spring and can give your hair a fresh new look,” says Boychuck. “Framing your face with a few subtle pieces is a great way to brighten up the face. I would recommend going 1-2 shades lighter than your current color for a revamped spring and summer style!”

Known as the “Colorist to the Stars” and recently named “Las Vegas Colorist of the Decade,” Michael Boychuck has an enduring relationship with Hollywood’s brightest lights and is the preferred colorist and stylist for white-hot celebrities including Paris and Nicky Hilton, Willa Ford and Kirsten Dunst. Boychuck’s COLOR salon at Caesars Palace has been named one of only six salons in the United States selected as the “most beautiful salons in the country.” With Color he takes salon arts to an entirely new level of glamour amid stunning surroundings.

Responsible for countless Top 10 hits and well over 100 million combined album sales, Styx, Foreigner and special guest Kansas will bring the “United in Rock” tour to the Mandalay Bay Events Center Saturday, May 22 for what many believe will be the “tour of the summer.” The concert, scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., will showcase three of the iconic bands who helped shape rock ‘n roll for a generation of music fans and dominated the charts and airwaves for decades.

Tickets priced at $85 and $55, not including applicable service charges, go on sale Saturday, March 20 at noon and will be available at all Ticketmaster locations (select Smith’s Food and Drug Centers and Ritmo Latino).

With more than 35 million albums sold worldwide and 16 Top 20 singles (12 Top 10 Singles), Styx has hosted more live performances in the past 10 years than all of the previous years of its career combined. These shows have included two highly coveted Super Bowl appearances along with Pollstar chart-topping tours with other rock legends including Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon and Bad Company, to name a few. The band has released a total of 15 albums which include some of their most popular hits such as “Come Sail Away,” “Renegade,” “Too Much Time On My Hands” and “Blue Collar Man.” Styx also is one of the few bands to have three Top 10 songs in three decades (’70s, ’80s and ’90s).

Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world, racking up scores of smash hits, multi-platinum albums and sold-out concert tours. From “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold As Ice” to “Hot Blooded,” “Urgent” and chart-topper “I Want To Know What Love is,” Foreigner’s thrilling mix of blustery blues and impeccably crafted pop continues to captivate generation after generation of music fans. The band recently performed the title track from its latest album Can’t Slow Down to a sold-out crowd and national TV audience of more than 6 million NASCAR fans at The Pepsi 500. This performance helped drive the band’s sales to the point where it currently out-sells a majority of their rock peers including the Eagles, The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith. Today, more than 70 million albums later, Foreigner is an ensemble of talented musicians with credentials that make the band stronger and more powerful than ever. For additional information, visit www.foreigneronline.com.

Kansas became popular in the 1970s with hit singles such as “Carry on Wayward Son” and “Dust in the Wind.” The group has remained a staple in the classic rock genre and continues to draw large crowds to its live performances throughout North America, Japan and Europe. The band has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return and Best Of), one platinum live album (Two For the Show) and “Dust in the Wind,” a gold single that has earned more than 1 million sales for the band. Kansas also appeared on the Billboard charts for more than 200 weeks throughout the ’70s and ’80s. For additional information, visit www.kansasband.com.
