Today’s the opening day for Wet Republic at MGM Grand, and as Vegas DeLuxe has previously reported, the promoters there have declared war! They’ve also lined up a star-studded guest list of weekend party hosts to ensure that the new clubs at the Hard Rock Hotel and Encore don’t steal their thunder.

On March 27, it’s the official media day opening with former The Girls Next Door and now Kendra reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson showing off her post-baby swimsuit figure to promote her E! Entertainment series, which returns to the air Sunday night. Then it’s the industry opening of Daylife Sundays on April 11 with alternating superstar DJs Roger Sanchez and Sharam.

Expect media mayhem April 24 when Keeping Up With the Kardashians sisters Kim and Khloe jet in with a plane load of Hollywood celebrities and sports pals to celebrate Kourtney Kardashian’s birthday.

The $100,000 Hot 100 celebration starts April 30, and special plans are in store for Memorial Day weekend with another big celebrity lineup.
