It’s not called Sin City and advertised with the tagline “What Stays in Vegas…” for nothing. Las Vegas is an epicenter for shenanigans, general depravity and badly behaving bachelor parties. Between high stakes poker (or nickel slots, if you prefer), a raucous party scene that literally never stops (day clubs!) and booze for days, shopping is probably the last thing on your mind. But if the Disney-like The Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace is any indication, people like to blow their winnings on new stuff (besides at the multitude of strip clubs) between stretches of vice. A better option to that logo-laden designer crap is the newest and definitely best smelling addition to the consumer playground—The House of Creed.

Only the second boutique in the entire United States, the French perfume brand decided this desert oasis was the perfect place to go after, not just the high rolling Americans, but also the deep pocketed internationals that flock here to lose their shirts. Basically a futuristic-looking box, all glass, lacquered and metal surfaces, the shop is impossible to miss. It’s decidedly modern for a very old fragrance house. Creed has come a long way since its first venture into supplying clothing and scented gloves to the royal court of Jolly Old England (before it crossed the Channel). It’s probably a good idea to stock up on the brand’s cult favorites Green Irish Tweed and Aventus for you (Consider spritzing yourself from head to toe to cover up any evidence of whatever very bad things you got up to the night before) and maybe pick up a bottle of Millesime Imperial for the missus to make up for said high jinks.

The mod haircut for men: How to achieve the look
The Gladiator of our day revitalizes a new haircut for the second time.
Paul Mescal in Gladiator II

Every so often, movies or TV influence what men do with their hair. In the 2000s, we saw a revamping of the mohawk when it seemed every celebrity and every movie featured the faux hawk. Then we loved Cillian Murphy and Brad Pitt for bringing back the undercut, and all of us shaved the sides and back of our heads while keeping the top long. Enter Stranger Things, and the 80s nostalgia came roaring back to bring us the return of the formerly mocked, newly rocked, mullet.

But there is a new revisit on the horizon in 2025, and you can largely thank Paul Mescal's turn in Gladiator II. He rocked a mod haircut better than anyone could have expected, and now we are all booking appointments with our stylists to jump on board with the hair trend that began at the end of 2024 and will scream into 2025.
