By George, Hard Rock sends a message

By John Katsilometes

This afternoon I was driving along Flamingo Road, heading west across I-15, and hit the stoplight. Suddenly, I felt wasted, thanks to a strategically positioned billboard. As a long trail of cars waited for the green where Flamingo meets the I-15, I could not help but notice a big Hard Rock Hotel-Wasted Space billboard partially obscuring the view of the Palms, which is one of the Hard Rock’s more fierce rivals. “Rock and Roll Decadence,” reads the sign, which is to promote Carey Hart’s new club at the hotel. Wasted Space opens tonight with a bunch of stars (two Maddens ... Read more...

Space Chimps

By Josh Bell

After seeing Pixar’s dazzling, creative and heartfelt WALL-E, it’s a serious crash back down to Earth to watch Space Chimps, the clumsy, unfunny and aesthetically crude middle entry in this summer’s trio of animated movies about space (look for Fly Me to the Moon next month). Read more...

The queen of Pahrump

By Josh Bell

People like Heidi Fleiss tend not to stay in the spotlight once the initial frenzy surrounding their infamy dies down. It’s a little hard (though maybe not impossible) to imagine anyone making documentaries or writing lengthy magazine features about John Wayne Bobbitt or Joey Buttafuoco these days. But even 15 years after her initial arrest for running a high-priced prostitution ring in Los Angeles, Fleiss still generates plenty of interest, and the documentary Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal (HBO, July 21, 9 p.m.) does a good job of showing why she’s still such a fascinating character.

Gonged but not forgotten

By Julie Seabaugh

“It’s too bright and shiny out there. I want it to be dark and dingy,” host Dave Attell grumbles in his debris-strewn dressing room in Stage 6 of Hollywood’s Sunset Bronson Studio. “I like bringing out the acts and giving them their moments, especially the quirkier ones, and defending them against the judges. But I think the set should read that this is not a talent show, it’s more of a bar show. It looks like a gay bank.” Read more...

Caesars Palace gets the jump on New Year’s Eve spectacle

By Robin Leach

For some unknown reason, the fountains at Caesars Palace have held a mystical and myth-making fascination for daredevils, stunt guys and motorcycle mavericks. Maybe it’s the spectacular setting at center Strip? Maybe because the legend has played out with Caesars and Cleopatra and the 200,000 spectators who pass by each day? Maybe it’s because Caesars has always prided itself as the Vegas home of unique and unusual sporting events? Luxe Life has learned that the Fox TV network has been in ongoing talks with Robbie Knievel, who is following in the footsteps of his legendary stuntman father to reprise his ... Read more...
