Aside from the Diamond of the Dunes hotel tower and the turret marquee the thing that really gets my attention here are all the cars parked right up front. Something that used to be common on the strip when the properties primarily catered to automobile visitors. There are still remnants of this time in Vegas today just repurposed. I'm thinking specifically about Horseshoe and Caesars Palace. It's a time in Vegas we are fond of because it inspired all the classic super pylon marquees we know and love.

Imagine your favorite local bar gathered its funniest, sexiest, strangest, and most talented patrons and friends, and brought them together to put on a wild variety show and you've got a reasonable idea of what you'd experience when you see Miss Behave's Mavericks. So back in spring, there was some buzz starting to grow about a new show downtown, Miss Behave's Mavericks. Vital Vegas had reported on it. (I have to say here that I often appreciate Vital Vegas's perspective and info - and I know he's a friend of the podcast - but he seems to have a love of all things downtown that I don't necessarily share.) But the buzz kept growing, and it really piqued my curiosity. I knew about the previous Miss Behave show - which was at Bally's - but only by name. I also am not afraid to admit that I'm kind of a value shopper when it comes to Vegas. I'm always looking for the deals and the bang-for-your-buck. So when I found out that's tickets were $25 each, I was sold. By the way, they've since gone up to $39 per person, but this is still a hell of a deal. You'd be hard-pressed to find another show in town at that price. A little more on cost later. Cheapshot in Fremont East is a whole mood. Miss Behave's Mavericks is playing at Cheapshot, which is in the first block of Fremont East, in the space formerly occupied by Beauty Bar. We saw this show in July, and of course it was super hot outside. Seating is first come first serve, so we wanted to get there early to get good seats. Now this was probably our least enjoyable part of the experience. It's Vegas. It's July. It's hot outside. We arrived at 6 for a 7:00 curtain time. The website said the doors opened at 6, so we're thinking this shouldn't be a problem. But there's a fence and a closed gate in front of the doors, and they aren't letting anyone in. I was thinking that maybe they were doing this to make the show seem better, because whatever was inside was better than standing out on the street and melting. The show could have just been watching aardvark's shitting and it would have been great as long as there was air conditioning. Honestly, the venue staff did their best to try to make up for it. Miss Behave herself (the stage name of performer and host Amy Saunders) came out and apologized and handed out cold water bottles. She explained that the doors didn't actually open until 6:30, and she had requested several times for the info online to be changed, but it hadn't been changed yet. Keep in mind that when we arrived, there were 2 groups of people in front of us, and before they finally let us in quite the line had developed behind us. Since seating is first come, first serve, I recommend you still arrive about an hour before showtime, even if the doors open only 30 minutes prior. Just have a cold drink in hand, and maybe choose your show time carefully. I'm just grateful that the venue is on the south side of the street, so we had some shade. Look, I'll be honest: I have no idea what's happening here. A few words about seating… As I've already mentioned, the venue is first come, first serve. When it was our turn to be seated, they asked if we wanted to be more towards the front or more towards the back. I said “more towards the front” and they put us right smack in the front row. I wasn't expecting this, but was fine with it. If I didn't want to be so close, like some people might, I'm sure they would have moved us if I requested it. The chairs were small cane-back chairs that had no cushions, so it was a little uncomfortable. Lacking a better option, I ended up setting my drink on the stage. Speaking of the stage, like the venue, it's very cozy. There's only room for maybe a dozen people in the front row. Everyone is in the same style of seating, and our chairs are on the floor in the bar - there's no slope like theater seating has - so it might get more difficult to see the further back you are. Thankfully, it's such a small venue that I don't think this is an issue. One other point about the venue, my wife wants me to point out that the restrooms were nice and big and very clean. Drink service at the venue is excellent. They have a decent-sized menu (available online) of standard cocktails (old fashioned, sex on the beach, margarita), beers, and wines. Drink prices are reasonable for Vegas. Here's where another cost comes in. You should bring cash to the show - about $20 or so per person - in order to show your support for the performers. See, Miss Behave's Mavericks likes the audience to support performers “strip club style” by throwing bills on the stage. It's a fun gimmick that is very Vegas-appropriate. Even if you've just got a crisp $20 bill in hand, they'll make change for you before the show. Okay, so let's talk about the show itself. Miss Behave's Mavericks is a variety show. It's a very eclectic variety show. It's sometimes thrilling, sometimes soulful, sometimes sexy, somewhat confusing and very hilarious. I like to think of it as “Absinthe Lite.” This means that the show I saw is not the show you're going to see, but let's face it: that's not the worst gamble you've taken in this town. We saw a gender-bending strip act that brought the “confusing boner” phrase back to mind. We saw a little person on roller skates do a deliberately terrible dance number to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” that had me in tears from laughing so hard. You might see hula-hooping chicken. Who the fuck knows? Miss Behave herself is the emcee, and she's excellent. She's quick to explain the money throwing thing, that pictures are okay and social media is encouraged, and she's very clear that everyone is there to have a great time. I'm not sure that I can articulate this without sounding hokey, but for what it's worth, we truly felt that they wanted to be gracious hosts and as welcoming as possible. Oh and she also swallows swords. That was nuts to see from the front row. Trice B Phantom brings the soul  Singer Trice B Phantom is a frequent performer, and he sang an amazing rendition of “What's Going On,” that I felt unworthy to witness. The icing on the cake for us was burlesque performer “Banbury Cross” who closed out the show with the best burlesque striptease I have ever seen, and I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur. Unfortunately for all of you, she was only there for a limited two week run. This is how Miss Behave's Mavericks operates. Some performers are regulars, some are in town for limited shows, and some, such as Tape Face, might even be from other local shows and just popping in for a show or two. Like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates, you never know… From a risk/reward standpoint, even if you don't like the version of the show you end up seeing, you're out the cost of a low-priced ticket, maybe an in-expensive drink or two, and you're a half block from FSE. For us, when the show was over we wanted to stay. Cheapshot converts into either a club or a piano bar after the show depending on the night, and we really just wanted to stay, drink, and party with the performers. Unfortunately, we had reservations back on the strip. We've already talked about seeing Miss Behave's Mavericks again, and making sure that we don't plan anything after the show. Something I'll be including in reviews is what I call the “A.F.F.” or Audience Fuckery Factor. Some people hate to be singled out or involved in the slightest, and it's important to point out when you might accidentally be drawn into the show… There was one person a few seats from me who helped the little person with this “Total Eclipse of the Heart” number, but I think this can be expected when you're in the front row. There's a few performances that started away from the stage near the front door, and they worked their way through the crowd towards the stage. Miss Behave herself does some of her emcee work by standing on the bar, probably in an attempt to draw eyes away from the stage while they switch out equipment or set pieces. Anyway, if I haven't made it clear, this show is an ever-changing thing. Even if no one in my audience was messed with, it doesn't mean no one in your audience will be messed with. I think you'll have a blast either way. Better start figuring out how to sell the wife on this now  The wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Miss Behave's Mavericks. It is easily in my top 3 Vegas entertainment experiences, and number 1 in terms of value. Something that is important to note: I learned as I was finishing up this review that the show is going into hiatus after Thanksgiving. If you know anything about entertainment in Vegas, you know that “hiatus” can often be code for “closing at this venue, but we won't say ‘closing' to give the show a chance to find another space.” I sincerely hope that is not the case here, because this show is an absolute gem and deserves all the life it can get. If you're going to be in Vegas between now and Thanksgiving I encourage you to check the show out, so there's no question that Miss Behave's Mavericks returns in spring, which is when they say we can see it again after the holidays. Tickets are available directly at the venue's website which is at cheapshotdtlv.com. At the time of this review, shows are Thursdays at 7, Fridays at 8, and two shows on Saturdays at 8 and 10:30.

Tony Hsieh has long been painted as a tortured visionary — most recently in the posthumous biography by two Wall Street Journal reporters dramatically titled “Happy at Any Cost: The Revolutionary Vision and Fatal Quest of Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh.” But longtime Las Vegas locals have observed the last decade of transformations along Fremont East (funded by Tony's company Downtown Project) with mixed emotions. Lifelong resident and writer Nicholas Russell recently penned an essay in the Baffler about the problem with mythologizing Tony Hsieh — he and host Dayvid Figler bust some Downtown Project myths, examine Tony's legacy downtown, and break down just why it was so easy for Tony Hsieh to set up shop in Las Vegas.

In the early 2000s, nobody was going to East Fremont St. But veteran New York hospitality executive Paul Devitt saw something there, and decided to become the area's nightlife pioneer. Devitt opened Beauty Bar, a Vegas version of his successful New York bar and music venue. Other bars followed, inspired by Beauty Bar's success. While Beauty Bar is gone, Devitt is looking for new Las Vegas opportunities. Which brought him to town. Which inspired Jonathan to invite him on the podcast to talk about those wild early days of East Fremont.  Hosts: Jonathan Jossel, Lisa Melmed, Gary Vickery
