It’s not all about hard bodies and destruction on the basketball court and inside the cage at UFC 100 this weekend. There’s another superstar musical invasion on deck for Las Vegas, with everybody from hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg to popular saxophonist Kenny G at opposite ends of the music spectrum.

Additionally, Duran Duran and Incubus go up against each other, and New Kids on the Block bring back their winning sounds from the 1980s. If that’s not enough, Jadakiss raps at LAX, while Pat Benatar plays the House of Blues. There’s something for everybody!

Wanderlei Silva.

However, if you want to hang with the fighters, check out Wanderlei Silva when he hosts at LAX tomorrow night, and odds are you’ll also rub shoulders with Mindfreak magician Criss Angel when he finishes his show Believe at the Luxor.

Incidentally, his former girlfriend Holly Madison tells me that when she finishes her Peepshow work at Planet Hollywood tomorrow night, we’ll find her very close to the action at Georges St. Pierre’s after-fight party.

Only in Vegas, the world’s nonstop party and entertainment capital! You’ll find a list of everything you’ll possibly need for weekend planning in our ROYAL ROBIN RUNDOWN posted in Strip Scribbles later this morning.
