A sophisticated look at line-moving and dog-show handicapping from Wynn’s Johnny Avello
I’m what is known as an “unsophisticated” sports bettor. I say this because many years ago, Johnny Avello said this of me. It was at a CineVegas wrap party at Green Valley Ranch, and I told Avello that I often made sports wagers while hastily scanning a betting sheet as I’m walking to the counter. “You,” he said, “are an unsophisticated bettor.” I mentioned that I also happen to be an unsophisticated dancer, an unsophisticated conversationalist and even an unsophisticated ...

A party replete with Carrot Top, ‘AGT’ contestants, a couple of Blue Men, deep-fried Oreos … oh, and the Super Bowl
You know when you happen upon Carrot Top over by the mac-and-cheese warmer that you are not attending a typical Super Bowl party. So it was Sunday at the Henderson home of the esteemed Jeff Molitz. That Carrot Top was there was not wholly surprising, as Molitz is the personal assistant of Scott Thompson (who is, in fact, Carrot Top). Nor was it unexpected that a high volume of guests would turn out. Molitz has been hosting this party for ... Read more...

Ex-Checkmate Sonny Charles took an early ride on Don Cornelius’ ‘Soul Train’
Sonny Charles’ first ride on the Soul Train was in 1969, before the hit TV show even started. “I first met Don in 1969, the summer of that year, in Chicago,” Charles recalled in a phone conversation this afternoon. “We came in and played our new record, and he interviewed us then before he ever hit it big.” The Don in this instance is Don Cornelius, who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound today at his home in L.A. ...

Motley Crue at the Joint is ‘Cirque meets rock’ with flames, rollercoaster drums and even ‘Little Crue’
It is a rock concert by the strictest definition, as a rock band is playing a series of songs over a two-hour stretch for a paying audience. But it is so much more than that. Motley Crue is playing it big and wide, weird and small and, naturally, loud. “It’s pretty amazing,” Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil says in a phone conversation an hour before returning to rehearsal for the band’s “Motley Crue In Sin City” run of shows at ...

Former Las Vegas mayor, ‘mob lawyer’ Oscar Goodman turns a new page with memoir
There is no title, but “Oscar Being Oscar” might well fit. We speak of the upcoming memoirs of the former “mob lawyer” and three-term mayor of Las Vegas. There is no such title yet and no publisher lined up. But the man Goodman has been working with on his tantalizing life story is bestselling author David Fisher, who most recently served as the ghostwriter of financial analyst Harry Markopolos’ tale of exposing Bernie Madoff, “No One Would Listen: A True ...

The latest dish: Martha Stewart out, Marie Osmond in for the Hallmark Channel
It is news that might make fans of Marie Osmond feel a little faint. According to published reports, Osmond is in line to supplant “The Martha Stewart Show” on the Hallmark Channel with a new daily show carrying the befitting title “Marie.” Expected to debut in September, “Marie” seems to be shaping up as a typical TV talker, the atypical ingredient being the wildly popular Marie Osmond. The show will reportedly showcase segments centered on cooking and celebrity interviews. We ... Read more...

Opening act chosen for Kiss-themed golf course
At one side of the room, a guy dressed as Gene Simmons adjusted his studded codpiece. At another, a would-be Paul Stanley was plopped on a leather sofa, munching on a handful of tortilla chips. Everywhere you turned, there were guys dressed as members of Kiss, and it was no happy coincidence. A quartet of Kiss tribute bands, totaling 16 costumed musicians, competed in the first Kiss Off at Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel. The bands were the ... Read more...

The concept of Pamela Anderson at ‘Pamorama’ didn’t end up too suite
Remember the days of “Pamorama” Towers? Maybe you do. It was in the high times of 2006, April specifically, that Pamela Anderson swiveled down the red carpet at the opening party for the under-construction Tower 3 of Panorama Towers. Her date was real-estate mogul Laurence Hallier, whose company, Hallier Properties, built the wondrous high-rise on Dean Martin Drive. “They should call it ‘Pamorama’ because I am here,” Anderson said during the blustery afternoon shindig on April 21, 2006. “When I’m ...

KISS fans ready to paint the town (and their faces) at Sunday’s KISS Off at Hard Rock Hotel

This weekend marks the “KISS Off” finale, scheduled for 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday at Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel.

The Wynn’s Aphrodite cocktail is liquid flirtation
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty and love, and she’s often depicted nude with voluptuous curves and come-hither eyes. It makes sense, then, that she gets a ...
