This single, very eligible bachelorette – a confident, successful and sensitive woman who is ready to find love – will embark on a romantic journey as she meets 25 handsome and intelligent men. As the Bachelorette gets to know each one, she’ll continue to narrow the field. They will travel to exotic locations and spend time getting to know each other; she will introduce them to her family and friends and meet some of theirs.

Robert M. Knight, one of the most acclaimed photographers in rock n’ roll history is bringing his art to the Las Vegas Hilton to be both enjoyed and even purchased by visitors starting May 28th with a huge musical kick off event.

For more than four decades, Knight has captured iconic images of music legends including Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Carlos Santana, Van Halen and Jeff Beck. His images are quintessential pieces of pop-culture mythology.

Robert’s partner and wife Maryanne Bilham is an equally talented photographer whose work will also be on display and for sale at the Las Vegas Hilton along with the work of Jim Evans, who created a new style of art called the “icon narrative. Under the name “Rock Machine”, the three are combining a lifetime of music-based art and photography into re-imagining the experience of rock music.

Robert Knight has been called a “Rock Prophet,” a title given to him for his uncanny ability to find new talent. It’s what led to Knight being the subject of a soon-to-be-released movie, “Rock Prophecies” www.rockprophecies.com, which explores Robert’s amazing career and follows him on his quest to help the bands of today become the Rock legends of tomorrow.

His musical portraits and concert photography are also chronicled by Insight Editions’ lavish coffee table book, “Rock Gods” insighteditions.com/product_info.php.

The Knight Gallery at the Las Vegas Hilton will open on a strong note with a concert called “Knight of the Guitar,” featuring Josh Gooch, Ryan McGarvey, Graham Whitford and Yayo Sanchez. “Knight of the Guitar” is set for May 28th, at 8 p.m. in the Hilton Theater. Tickets can be purchased for $15 at the Las Vegas Hilton box office or on-line at www.lvhilton.com.

The hours of operations for the Knight Gallery at the Las Vegas Hilton will be as follows:

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday: 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.; Wednesday, Friday and Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 11 p.m.

Tacos & Tequila (T&T) has introduced its newest menu item, a mouthwatering dish that is sure to bring on the heat. The habañero hot wings will tantalize the taste buds with a spicy blend of habañero peppers fused with tangy lime juice for a zesty new summer recipe, available for $10 throughout the summer at T&T.

“Habañeros are one of the spiciest peppers, so we added a few key ingredients to counterbalance the heat,” said Executive Chef Saul Ortiz. “The overall flavor is a zesty blend of tangy, spicy and sweet.”

Habañero Hot Wings recipe:

7 jumbo chicken wings (1 pound)

1 oz. habañero sauce

1 oz. buffalo sauce

1 oz. hot sauce

2 tbs. butter

1 oz. cotija cheese

2 oz. ranch dressing

1 tsp. fresh cilantro, chopped

Using a deep fryer set to 350 degrees, cook the chicken wings for 5 minutes. Transfer the wings to a pre-heated conventional oven and cook at 350 degrees for an additional 3 minutes, or until crispy. On a stovetop, combine sauces and butter in a pan and fuse together over low heat for 2 minutes or until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, combine sauce and wings and coat heavily.

In a separate bowl, muddle the cilantro and add ranch dressing, mixing evenly. Top wings with cotija cheese and serve with a side of creamy cilantro ranch.

Tacos & Tequila embodies the cool modernism of the new Mexico City while incorporating traditional elements of Mexican style and high-end Las Vegas panache. The color mixture of old and new creates a vivid picture of brushed aluminum, dark wood, leather, bright fabrics and colored glass. The focal point of T&T’s design is its abstract sombrero composed of 20 brushed-aluminum panels featuring thousands of laser-cut images, including two 30-foot dancing, tequila-drinking skeletons. Lit from within, the breathtaking panels stretch across the entire length of the restaurant floor and across the common area, connecting the T&T retail store and walk-up daiquiri bar.

The highly-stylized Mexican restaurant and bar with a fun, high-energy vibe and flavorful menu is located at Luxor Hotel and Casino, open daily from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. The 8,000-square-foot venue embodies Mexican culture intermixed with rock-n-roll flair with a flavorful menu created for Drive This Entertainment! by the talents of world-renowned restaurateur and chef, Richard Sandoval. For more information contact T&T at 702.262.5225

Following two engagements earlier this year, popular Las Vegas entertainment family The Scintas return to the Suncoast Showroom for two Independence Day weekend performances, July 3 and 4.

The Scintas, Buffalo, New York-raised brothers Joey and Frankie, sister Chrissi and “Irish Scinta” Peter O’Donnell, entertain, surprise and provide an anything-but-typical performance filled with music, comedy and impersonations. Their Las Vegas act, which got its start in a bar owned by former Buffalo Bill and present-day ESPN commentator Paul McGuire, includes “guest” appearances by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and others, singing songs audiences love.

Collectively, they’ve dazzled sell-out crowds in Las Vegas showrooms and on the road. Individually, each member of The Scintas has enjoyed a stunning rise to fame. Frankie, recognized as a musical prodigy, appeared on The Merv Griffin Show at age 11. He plays the keyboard on the show and is also a master guitar, mandolin, banjo, drum and bass player. Joey, who originally intended to become a music teacher, developed and mastered his talent for comedy and impressions. The baby of the family, Chrissi, is known for her stunning renditions of the big ballads. Although not related, Peter O’Donnell has been a member of the close-knit clan since joining The Scintas in 1988. He has played gigs with more than 700 bands.

A family on stage and off, The Scintas often welcome their mother Mary Scinta, affectionately known as “Mama Scinta,” and their brother Tony, a retired Buffalo homicide detective, and his family, as special guests at their shows.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $29.95, plus tax and convenience fees and can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 702.636.7075
