Tonight’s tips: Celebrate independence at Dos Caminos

By Robin Leach

OLE! It’s officially Mexican Independence Day and Dos Caminos restaurant and lounge in the Palazzo turns up the heat with an entertainment-filled night, fueled by the hot spot’s tequila cocktails and spicy “south of the border” dishes. DJ Carlos Sanchez spins Latin Funk starting at 8 p.m. with backings by percussionist Cayce Woody and trumpeter Rico DeLargo welcoming the Mayan Kings, who take the stage at 10 p.m., followed by the DJ stylings of The Martinez Brothers at 11 p.m. Dos Caminos resident DJ Cyber Kid spins through after that until the pre-dawn hours … MTV’s Buzzin’ stars Cisco & Shwayze walk the red carpet prior to hosing a party at the boutique Blush nightclub in the Wynn. Shwayze’s new album, which features the hit songs “Corona & Lime” and “Buzzin” has just gone on sale to tie-in with the new fall episodes of their show … Direct from the MTV Video Music Awards, hot Canadian rockers Tokyo Police Club will arrest you with their performance at Carey Hart’s new Wasted Space rock lounge in the Hard Rock Hotel. They are joined by The Whigs and Halloween Town for the triple-header … Filthy Mouth clothing brings its edgy and controversial Talk Dirty fashion line to a model launch party at Moon atop the Palms Fantasy Tower … Comic Michael Pace is joined by fellow jokesters Ronnie Schell and Debbie Praver for a week’s run of twice-nightly standup at the famous Improv Comedy Club in Harrah’s.
