For Howard Stern sidekicks comedian Artie Lange and limo driver Ronnie Mudd, it was exactly how they pictured a Las Vegas weekend: Nothing but girls, wild pool parties and all-out, extravagant topless club festivities!
It all began at Rick’s Cabaret when several Miss Howard TV winners turned up to welcome Artie and Ronnie the Limo Driver, who were simultaneously filming the more discreet antics for The Howard Stern Show. More than 800 fans showed up to meet 400 of America’s sexiest strippers, some of whom had flown in from Rick’s in New York to party with Artie.
Although champagne flowed freely, Artie diligently stuck to club soda, explaining that he was on the wagon. Said Ronnie: “He promised Howard he wouldn’t drink in Vegas. He said he’d gamble, he said he’d party with the Rick’s girls and gamble some more, but no booze.”
Two of the Rick’s dancers had copies of Artie’s new book Too Fat to Fish and retrieved them from their dressing room to have the comic sign them. “I’m genuinely touched,” Artie said. “The Stern guys rule. You will never meet a nicer bunch of guys,” said 34-24-35 blonde beauty Becky.

The next day’s action turned to the Hard Rock Hotel pool, where Artie and Ronnie hosted a bikini contest where 14 girls battled it out for the title of the newest Miss Howard TV. Again cameras from the shock jock’s TV show were on hand, this time to film all the poolside antics. Later, Artie performed his standup comedy to a sold-out crowd in The Rogue Joint at the Hard Rock.
