Ever wonder how much some of these "stars" receive to have their birthday party at a Vegas night club or to be at a New Years bash and not actually do anything?
The response we got was essentially "a shitload!". According to a source at Pure Management Group, the nightclub Pure has offered Britney Spears $300,000 to make the club her party HQ this new years. She doesn't even have to perform.
Also, the word is that Lindsey Lohan's 21st birthday party is up for bid with the starting price of $250,000.
Ahhh, the cult of personality...

ABC's Nightline to broadcast a special report on the Lifestyles Organization. The air date has been changed to Friday, Dec. 8th at 11:35 pacific time.

K, I, S-S, I-N-G. Some more important news to stop the presses with: NY Yankees star Derek Jeter and actress Jessica Biel were seen smooching at Tryst and Body English! Just thought you'd want to know.
We now resume our regular programming...

Now that an anti-smoking law has passed and is due to go into effect December 8th, some local establishments feel the end is near. A former Californian who has been through this before says to relax. And what about hookah bars? Any place that serves food is affected except, of course, casinos.

Despite "sexy showgirls" roaming the city encouraging Las Vegas Monorail ridership, the marketing efforts don't seem to be working. Passenger numbers continue to go down.
Speaking of going down, those nearly-empty monorail cars can be a fun setting for some public friskiness and also provide a good backdrop for our "Vegas Flash" photo feature.
Map out your adventure and don't forget your camera!

The Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas has been sold and will become a non-gaming property renamed Loews Lake Las Vegas. The Loews chain has been looking to get into the Vegas market for awhile and decided it would be quicker to buy the Henderson resort than to build an new one.

We've changed the look of the Parties/Events section. Give it a look-see. We think it's a bit sexier but we could be biased. Nah, I'm sure we're not...

News on what's happening (or going to happen) with some old Vegas resorts: will the Tropicana be torn down? And what's up with the Lady Luck's renovation?
Some Stardust memories.

Some incredibly important speculation here. Did Paris Hilton throw up at Tao as she was about to lip synch one of her new songs? One close-up witness is pretty darn sure that's what happened...

Emo's, a famous live music club in Austin, TX, is set to open up an all-ages, live music venue downtown on Fremont Street, joining another legend coming to downtown, NYC's CBGB's.

One of the first places many people want to visit when they come to town is In and Out Burger. Here's what's happening with the ol' In and Out...

Ya know, we always knew it but now it's official: those Utah residents are perverts! Salt Lake City ranks #1 in adult-related internet searches. We've met enough of 'em to know their perversions aren't restricted to the virtual world (and that's a good thing!)...

What's this world coming to? A lap dance where neither side can use their hands? Seems un-American. But that's what the Nevada Supreme Court said recently.
Sounds like we can still legally play "pass the orange" nekid so all is not lost...

Several things happened at the same time: Lots of people coming to town this weekend, no meet 'n' greets listed in our party section, Purrfect Las Vegas had Friday night free and a club owner wanted to show off his sexy club.
So there ya go, a Purrfect storm of events creating an excellent excuse for a get-together!
Join us at a very classy club you've probably never been to before. Great prices on bottles & lemon drop shots and prizes for dancing on our private pole!
Check out the details here.

The decision has been long-awaited but, after much contentious discussion, the Plan B morning after birth control pill is now available nation-wide without a prescription. Why are we mentioning it here? Because what happens in Las Vegas should stay here...

Vince Neil, front man for the rock group Motley Crue, opened the first tattoo parlor inside a Strip casino and was also one of it's first customers, receiving yet another tat while sipping on a glass of Vince Neil Chardonnay (is something wrong with that picture??).
Vince Neil Ink opened at the itsy bitsy O'Shea's Casino and is perhaps the only ink shop in town to have two stripper's poles in the front window.
Neil's parlor follows on the heels of the Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company inside the Palms.

The classiest hotel downtown, the Golden Nugget, has gotten even classier with the completion of it's $100 million renovation. The pool looks cool and so does the 200,000 gallon aquarium. The new owners, Landry's Restaurants of Houston, also added several new restaurants, a trendy bar and an updated sports book.
Now, if the other downtown hotels would just follow suit...

Now that she's booted Kevin and has her bod back to hottie status the rumor is Britney Spears is looking into doing a regular Vegas show like Celine, Elton and now Prince. The Palms might put her in their soon-to-open arena. We'll keep you posted...

A local columnist reviews three lesser-known comedy shows in town: Vinnie Favorito at O'Shea's, "Redneck Comedy Live!" at the Sahara and Craig Ferguson's upcoming show at the Orleans.

The Palms just keeps on building. Following the opening of the new Fantasy Tower and the Playboy Club, the Palms is set to open a 2,500 seat state-of-the-art arena in February to compete with the House of Blues and the Hard Rock's The Joint.
And, if you can afford to spend $40,000 per night for a hotel room, the 9,000 square foot Playboy suite might just be for you. Hugh Hefner has been the only guest thus far...

If you ever wondered what goes into the making of the large-scale production of Jubilee! at Bally's, you can take a backstage tour and check out what goes into sinking the Titanic, where the showgirls get ready, etc., all guided by a showgirl or showboy.
Another Vegas icon is the cocktail and it's only fitting Las Vegas would have a cocktail museum to honor it. Check out this article for info on both.

With the recent ruckus at the Wynn Casino over dealer tip distribution, the company's confidentiality agreement with it's employees has been pushed to the forefront. It seems that every single employee, including maids, valets and yes, dealers, are sworn to secrecy about most everything pertaining to the hotel (that Wynn deems hush hush) and the agreement remains valid 'til death.
Seems like a tough one to enforce...

Looks like our earlier reports were accurate. Prince will be performing at the Rio every weekend in a club called 3121 starting November 10th. Since there isn't a 3121 in the Rio we're assuming they are re-naming Club Rio after Prince's most recent CD by the same name.

The former Baywatch hunk, David Hasselhoff, will be on a Las Vegas stage in drag when a new production of Mel Brook's "The Producers" hits the Paris Hotel in February.
Hasselhoff, 54, will take the supporting role of Roger DiBris, the flamboyant gay director of the "Springtime For Hitler" play-within-a-play.
Will the production succeed where other Broadway-type of productions have failed in Las Vegas? Mel Brooks thinks it will because it "It's a very happy show, it's a sexy show, and it's incredibly funny. It will be the funniest show ever to hit Vegas!"

In what may be the start of a trend for fancy suites in Las Vegas, Absolut Vodka, Esquire Magazine and Caesar's Palace got together to create a totally unique 7,000 sq. foot luxury suite with individual party areas "flavored" after the different Absolut blends.
The Absolut Suite has the Mandarin Entrance, the Raspberry Lounge, the Vanilla Bedroom, etc., etc.
We're betting there will be many more product-themed suites in Las Vegas' future...
