The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Announces April Entertainment Performances


The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas continues its line-up of touring artists at its casino floor hot-spots Book & Stage, Bond and The Chandelier with artist residencies through April. All performances are open to the public.


The Knocks Based out of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Knocks are emerging as a force to be reckoned with as far as music production is concerned. Consisting of Ben "B-Roc" Ruttner and James "JPatt" Patterson, the Knocks are named in reference to the early days of their production career when they worked out of their home studios and their complaining neighbors would pound on the walls and ceilings. Years later, they have upgraded to the HeavyRoc Music Studio in Chinatown and are making names for themselves finding and developing talent as well as remixing the likes of other artists and bands. Monday, April 4 - Wednesday, April 6 from 10:00PM - 10:40PMDJ Mel DJ Mel's renowned party-rocking sets are as musically broad as they are technically skilled, and this deep selection and unique touch behind the decks has made Mel a true "DJ's DJ" and an Austin institution for almost two decades. Wednesday, April 13 - Saturday, April 16 from 10:00PM - 12:00AM; Sunday, April 17 from 10:00PM - 2:00AMFood will be served throughout the day. The pub was officially opened by Morpeth Mayor Ken Brown on Tuesday.The pub is named after Dr Walford Bodie, known as The Electrical Wizard of the North, who brought his shocking magic tricks to the venue in its former days as the Coliseum cinema.Task lighting is essential in a kitchen as it is important you can see what you are doing. Spot lights in the ceiling can work well, although even better are lights underneath cabinets that shine directly onto the work surfaces. This provides plenty of illumination in which to cook and prepare food. A light over the cooker or hob is absolutely imperative. It is very difficult to cook when you don't have a clear view of the saucepans or more specifically the contents of the saucepans. In kitchens where the main table is located, it is not just bright lights that are needed however, few people like to eat dinner with glaring lights and prefer softer or dimmer lighting. This needs careful planning. Either all but one light over the table can be switched off to provide the right type of mood lighting, or dimmer switches can be used. These are the ideal solution because they can be dimmed or brightened to whatever strength of illumination is required.Kisses So what's in a kiss? For Jesse Kivel (one half of the band along with keys and backing vocalist Zinzi Edmundson), it can mean everything, even if only for a second. "I want to write songs that takes people out of their everyday lives" he says from Kisses LA HQ (let's imagine he's poolside, sipping a margarita). "Great pop music is about escape. Kisses is about entering into another world." Wednesday, April 20 - Saturday, April 23 from 10:00PM - 11:00 PM and 12:00 AM - 1:00 AMBook & Stage A polished, masculine and comfortable setting, Book & Stage is a daytime live sports viewing lounge and by evening becomes a music performance-centric venue with popular acts. The following acts will be playing at Book & Stage:Ellie Goulding Ellie Goulding is a complicated thing in a seemingly simple package. On first hearing, she's a bright and shiny 22-year-old singer-songwriter, with her fingers on her guitar, her feet in a nightclub and her head in the heavens. But very few singer-songwriters, young or old, can flip between dance-til-you-drop euphoria and wistful, journeying space-folk, between lyrics that talk obliquely about sleeping around and those that pin-point the love-hate relationship every leaver has about their home town. Very few can do all that and leave us with enchantment, curious romance and, somehow, a sense of vastness, of travel, of space and time. It's pop, but not as we know it. Monday, April 4 - Wednesday, April 6 from 11:00PM - 12:00AMNational chain JD Wetherspoon has opened The Electrical Wizard in New Market, Morpeth, after a pounds 785,000 refurbishment of the former Szoda Bar premises.Kitchen lighting is one of the most important types of lighting in the whole house. There is quite a lot to think about and it can be difficult to know what type of lighting to buy. The best idea is to purchase all your lights for the house from the same shop. This makes shopping easier and it can all be delivered in one batch too. From outdoor wall lights to ceiling fan lights and more, buying it all from one online shop will save both time and money.DJ Fresh One Fresh One is easily one of San Diego's most recognized and sought after DJs. He's been in the game for nearly a decade and has built a solid reputation for an amazing work ethic and originality. In addition, his original beats and remixes have been used by countless others and his skills behind the decks are impressive. Sunday, April 3 - Tuesday, April 5 and Sunday, April 10 - Tuesday, April 12 from 10:00PM - 2:00AMThere is a large chandelier to recreate the grandeur of the old theatre.The rising cost of energy prices means that the efficiency of the lighting is one of the first things to consider. An eco-friendly lifestyle is not just fashionable but a real money saver too. Energy saving light bulbs and sockets are a must if you want to keep the electricity bills to a minimum. Many choose to make more use of natural light too. This can be done by enlarging or installing windows or reflecting light into the room. Although there may be a slightly larger upfront cost, the reduced energy bills will make up for this cost later.Lance Herbstrong Through stream-of-consciousness aural atmospherics, Lance Herbstrong takes you on a trip, sustaining musical momentum with sonic layers propelling the rhythms. The result is music that is ethereal and organic, of the air and of the earth, and always moving. Creating dubby landscapes isn't without cost, as the band is quick to point out, "Many plants have been sacrificed in the making of this music." Friday, April 1 - Saturday, April 2 from 10:00PM - 3:00AMThe size of the kitchen will also affect what type of lighting is used. Chandeliers or hanging lights can be used in very large kitchens but not in small ones. Although chandeliers can be difficult to clean, they can bring a wonderful effect into the room when chosen well and hung over the kitchen table. Generally speaking, the smaller the room, the smaller the lights need to be. If the room is very small then using mirrors and accent lighting can make it appear bigger. Shine lights off reflective surfaces and mirrors and the room will seem bigger than it really is!Marina & The Diamonds Marina (& The Diamonds) Diamandis is the complete songwriter/performer. 50% Greek, 50%Welsh, 100% frolicking fairytale creature. A girl with virtually no musical schooling, for whom heart scorching choruses miraculously seem to appear at the tips of her fingers with each preposterous limb fling. A voice that both lures sailors to shores and wards ships from rocks. A mind that hacks apart the fabric of Now and serves it up in an ice-cream sundae for all to guzzle down. A performer whose onstage movement has been reminding lackluster gig-goers across the land the true meaning of 'show time.' Thursday, April 7 - Saturday, April 9 from 10:30PM - 12:00AM

DJ Eleven Originally hailing from Oakland, CA, DJ Eleven is one of the founders of infamous Brooklyn-based DJ crew The Rub, which was named the "Best DJ Collective in New York" by Spin Magazine. Along with The Rub, Eleven was nominated as America's Best DJ by DJ Times' in 2010. In addition to traveling the world playing gigs in clubs from Moscow to Buenos Aires, Eleven has toured extensively and regularly DJs private parties, with a long list of high profile clients like Scarlett Johansen, Playboy, Scion, and GQ. Wednesday, April 13 - Saturday, April 16 from 12:00AM - 2:00AM (until 3:00AM Thursday - Saturday)
