Dine and stay: these are the 100 best hotel restaurants in the U.S.
And although The Pines Modern Steakhouse in Yaamava' Resort & Casino, just outside Los Angeles, doesn't appear on this list, we personally adored this spot, which was the No. 11 casino restaurant on USA Today's 2024 Reader's Choice Awards. Pairing a gorgeous steak and lobster tail dish with incredible tableside cocktails in a beautiful setting, followed by Stevie Nicks' performance in the in-house theater (whose acoustics Stevie Wonder has praised), made for a great experience.

‘My daughter didn't get emotional like I did': the families who go gigging together
While some teenagers still wouldn't be caught dead with their parents at a gig, there's been a marked number of multigenerational gatherings of parents, kids, uncles and aunts at recent tours such as Pulp, Bruce Springsteen and the Oasis reunion. We spoke to four families about why they enjoy watching bands together. Mark Taubert, his seven-year-old son and his 12-year-old daughter were one of many families in attendance at Stevie Wonder's Cardiff concert in Blackweir Fields, Cardiff, in July. 'He came on to the stage and lit the place up with his charisma and magnetism. I was surprised to see quite a few different age groups in the crowd. Then Stevie Wonder brought two of his own children on stage, and it felt even more like a multigenerational event,' he says. 'My son Idris even had a brief restorative snooze during Living for the City, but then woke up for Sir Duke – one of his favourites.' Even if Idris didn't fully appreciate the whole show, Mark hopes his son will in future. 'In 80 years' time, Stevie Wonder will just be this sort of legendary figure of the past, and my son will be able to say that he saw him.' It was quite the contrast to the gigs of his youth, Mark says. 'My worst was Guns N' Roses in Mannheim when I was 16. There was a riot at that show. It wasn't necessarily something I'd take my kids to.' Before the Oasis reunion tour commenced in July, The Jesus and Mary Chain played Tramshed in Cardiff in June. The gig was a bonding experience for James Cooper and his daughter Astrid. 'As a fan of the Jesus and Mary Chain since I was 15, I was delighted that my daughter Astrid declared that they were her favourite band too,' he says. 'I recalled to Astrid that JAMC were the precursors to Oasis – being warring brothers on the same label and paving the way for Oasis in many ways – but loads better! We are both skateboarders, so we combined the day with a trip to the skatepark. I considered ourselves very lucky that we got to see the far superior band in a small venue. 'My daughter loved the day and the experience. She didn't get emotional like I did, though. It was maybe more significant for me, as she is almost same age as I was when I first saw them at 15. These experiences with one's daughter don't happen very often.' Alice Witter and her 18-year-old son travelled 200 miles to see Billie Eilish play Co-Op Live in Manchester last month. 'We both like her albums equally. I told him there's not one song we won't be able to sing along to,' she says. Sign up to Sleeve Notes Get music news, bold reviews and unexpected extras. Every genre, every era, every week after newsletter promotion 'The crowd was amazing. It was all mixed generations, but mostly my son's age or a bit older, and everybody was dancing and singing. My son took some videos, so we came home with a whole visual record of what we saw, and played it through the car stereo on the way home down the motorway, on high volume. It's the best concert I had seen since Sting in 1990s.' 'You definitely notice more and more families at concerts nowadays,' says Jo Ortlieb, 58, an English teacher who lives near Lille in France. 'Our parents didn't go to concerts, whereas we did, so I guess it's the age we live in. It's really nice to see.' Her family's first gig was Dizzee Rascal at Sziget festival in Budapest in 2013, when her sons were 11 and 13. 'It was such a great feeling to be dancing and singing along to all our favourite songs, although there was a lot of swearing. A young Hungarian couple even came up to me at the end to say they thought I was cool.' More recently, Jo, her sons, now 23 and 25, and her husband have seen Nick Cave at the O2 in London and Asian Dub Foundation in Lille. 'My husband and I are big fans of Nick Cave, so the kids grew up listening to him at home. I get quite emotional when they play songs that we all used to sing together in the car or in the kitchen. We like to think we've given them an eclectic taste in music. We never did that sort of thing with our parents, so it's really nice to be able to do it now.'

Pregnant Rihanna covers her bump in a baggy sweatshirt as she heads for LA dinner amid plans to 'tour again after cancelling London dates'
Rihanna cut a casual figure as she stepped out at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles ' Santa Monica on Sunday evening as she prepares to welcome her third child. The pregnant singer, 37, covered her blossoming baby bump in a loose-fitting grey sweatshirt, which was teamed with a pair of baggy blue jeans. In a stylish touch, Rihanna added a white faux fur shawl to her ensemble, while also sporting a selection of gold jewellery to accessorise. The Barbadian star wore her black locks in loose waves with two braids, enhancing her pretty features with a bronze pallet of make-up. The appearance comes as she is reportedly set to tour again after cancelling a string of dates in London which were meant to take place this summer. Rihanna, who is expecting her next baby with the father of her two other children ASAP Rocky, has now rearranged the shows. According to reports, she had been rumoured to be planning a six-concert residency in London in July to mark her return to music. It was later claimed that Rihanna pulled out of the proposed gigs at West Ham's stadium in a secret meeting, just before they were set to be publicly confirmed. However, the tour is now set to be back on for 2026, according to The Sun, which will mark her first UK shows since 2016. A source told the newspaper: 'Rihanna and her team are now confident they can make it work for next year.' They added: 'The dates will also coincide with the tenth anniversary of [her last album] Anti, and fans can expect to hear her new music too. 'Rihanna might be pregnant with her third baby but she is the ultimate working mum and has the support of her partner ASAP Rocky.' Daily Mail has contacted Rihanna's representatives for comment. Music insiders previously claimed to The Telegraph that Rihanna was lining up shows at London Stadium for July 4 and 5, with other possible concerts set for July 8, 9, 11 and 12. A second source told the publication that her promoters were 'holding' the arena - formerly the Olympic Stadium - for her, with preparations in the advance planning stages. The run of concerts would've been Rihanna's first in almost a decade, after the release of her last album Anti in 2016. The Umbrella hitmaker finally confirmed her ninth album was on its way in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in February. She sent fans wild as she teased she's 'cracked the code' on her 'next body of work' and that it 'feels right.' Rihanna told the outlet: 'This time away from from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to matter. I have to show them it was worth the wait.' The nine-time Grammy winner revealed her pregnancy news when she showed off her baby bump at the Met Gala back in May. Just last week, she dished on motherhood as she is expecting her third baby. She told Access Hollywood that her 'two princes' RZA and Riot have a ton of energy that wear her out when she attended the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles. She is the voice actor for Smurfette in the new animated musical-comedy film and brought along her kids for the red carpet event ahead of the movie's release. It comes just days after the singer attended her father's funeral in her native country of Barbados - after he passed away at the age of 70 on May 30 following a battle with pancreatic cancer and accompanying complications. During an interview with Extra at the Smurfs premiere, she opened up about her little ones joining her at the screening. 'I'm excited for tonight. Tonight is going to be fun. We get to watch the movie together for the first time. I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting,' she expressed.
