Get your 15 minutes of fame tonight at VooDoo Lounge

We first heard about SlyKat when the Florida-based hip-hopper contacted us before a late summer show at the Beauty Bar. We didn’t expect we’d hear from him again, but today we got a call. The artist who could once sing, “I’m in Miami, bitch” will now call Las Vegas home. And we’d just like to officially take the opportunity to welcome Sly to town. So, welcome. From the Calendar SlyKat video casting call @ VooDoo Lounge Dec. 4, 10 p.m. ... Read more...

Girl on girl kissing contests a bit, uh, much?

I blame Katy Perry. She is, after all, the one responsible for the undeniably catchy-yet-tacky hit, “I kissed a girl.” It shot to the top of the charts in June and it’s all been downhill from there. You probably know the song, unless you’ve been reverse-hibernating and have been sleeping under a rock since spring. It has been played at nightclubs ad nauseam. The tune spotlights the already prevalent drunk girl seduction routine of hey-lets-dirty-dance-and-act-like-we’re-bi-to-make-the-guys-drool. Girls grind with each other, ... Read more...

You’ve come a long way, kid: Nightlife diplomas go to 20 industry pros

Blame VH1 and E! if you want. We’re fascinated by people’s humble origins. See that woman running the club in her Jimmy Choos? We want to know where she started. That guy in the power suit? We want a shot of him bussing tables and cleaning up stale lemon slices. Everyone’s got to start somewhere, and in Vegas the most successful nightlife careers often commence behind the bar, outside the door or with tray in hand and regular dousings of ... Read more...

Bettie Paige bangs take over Beauty Bar

Until recently, an entire colorful Vegas subculture was displaced. The budding burlesque dancers, custom car enthusiasts, pin-up model wannabes and the rockabilly and ska lovers had nowhere to go to share their passion for all things retro and rock ‘n’ roll. Now, thanks to Beauty Bar general manager Joe Garcia-Miranda and Cassia, the flame-haired burlesque dancer “Penny Slots” of local burlesque group Babes in Sin, they have an ideal venue: the vintage-inspired, indie-embracing Beauty Bar and a regular event all ...

There’s a little bit of the dude in everyone at PT’s Lebowski Eve party

PT’s Gold on Eastern Ave. rolled out the welcome mat – a welcome area rug, actually – on Wednesday night for their first annual Big Lebowski party. Most agreed it really tied the room together. The midweek party attracted dozens of fans of the Coen brothers’ film, which was released 10 years ago and has since become a cult classic. Lebowski fanatics came dressed as “the dude,” donned housecoats and drank white Russians while the popular movie was played on ... Read more...

A proper birthday celebration for Playboy Club’s second year

In the last month or so two Vegas birthdays have passed by almost without notice. October 15 marked the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Bellagio. But as Steve Friess reported, “They did almost nothing. … No star-studded party. No special deals for favorite guests. No souvenir chips. Not even a press release.” Exactly one month later another birthday slipped by with little fan fare. The Palms turned seven on November 15th, but once again the press and the ... Read more...

Pub crawling with the Kids in the Hall

Dave Foley is a great drinking buddy. I realized this around 6 a.m. Saturday morning inside a strip club. But perhaps I should start at the beginning—a time before my head was pounding from one too many drinks, as it is right now as I write this. Friday night, the Canadian sketch comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall performed their first-ever Vegas gig at the TBS Comedy Festival. It was everything a die-hard fan could hope for – resurrections ... Read more...

Host vs. host boxing draws blood. Literally.

This week the gatekeepers to Vegas’ nightlife playground stepped inside the ring and drew blood. Literally. Casino and nightlife hosts from Tao, Body English, N9NE Group, Wasted Space and more gathered Wednesday night at The Joint to trade power suits and hair gel for shiny shorts and mouth guards in the name of charity. The Hard Rock Hotel’s first host vs. host boxing tournament pitted some of Vegas’ most prominent nightlife personalities against one another to benefit local non-profit boxing ... Read more...

One can = one cocktail at Mist

The holiday season is all about parties. Or is it giving? Hmmm, hard to remember. You can do both tonight at Mist at T.I., which is offering one complimentary cocktail for one donated non-perishable food item. From the Calendar Cans for Cocktails at Mist Club Guide Mist If you haven’t gone near a nursing home, leave feeding the homeless to your altruistic aunt and always keep the windows rolled up when the bums come a knockin’, this is your chance ...

Move over, poker. The World Series of Beer Pong is coming to town

Move over, World Series of Poker: The World Series of Beer Pong is coming to town. The fourth annual world tournament of the frat house-turned-mainstream drinking game will be held at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino next year. Hundreds of two-person teams are expected to compete in the tournament for the $50,000 grand prize. The game’s popularity has surged in recent years, prompting Time Magazine to call it “the drinking game of choice for this century’s twentysomething thinkers.” “It’s a ... Read more...
