Designer Snuggies?

You know ’em. You love ’em (or maybe hate ’em), and you secretly want one. That sexy blanket with sleeves: the Snuggie. Sure, it might really be a bathrobe turned backwards, but dang, we wish we thought of that! As temperatures in Vegas dropped to a frighteningly cold 60-something degrees Tuesday night, I wondered if heat lamps on an outdoor terrace would be enough to keep me warm during a DJ’s set. “Bring a Snuggie,” texted my contact at the ...

Fetish & Fantasy: Freaky? No. Friendly? Yes.

“Holy f**king sh*t. You missed an epic night.” I expected such words to be uttered on November 1, the morning after (OK, the afternoon after) I attended the 14th annual Fetish & Fantasy Ball at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. In my head, of course, it was I who announced the epicness (epicocity? existence of the epic?) of my Halloween festivities. In reality, it was my roommate — who had forgone an expensive Halloween bash for ... Read more...

The Weekly’s 2009 Halloween Costume Awards

We don’t have a giant check to give out or thousands of dollars in cash and prizes to award to the costumes that earned our recognition (or wrath) this Halloween. So here’s what the winners of the Weekly‘s 2009 Halloween Costume Awards will get: absolutely nothing. Except pride, of course, and if they stop by LasVegasWeekly.com editor Sarah Feldberg’s house, maybe a leftover Kit Kat bar. That said, our cameras were all over the Valley this Halloween, from the Strip ... Read more...

Read it and weep: Mist Lounge closes at TI

“Mist has had a really good run,” says a source within Light Group who confirms that, at the ripe old age of six—old for Vegas, that is—Mist Lounge, Light Group’s diminutive jewel box hot spot just off the Treasure Island casino floor is closing for good following a “Drink Mist to Death” party on October 31. Since opening its doors in December 2002, the lounge-cum-petite nightclub has served as a springboard for countless nightlife industry careers; Mist would have turned ... Read more...

10 highlights from the first night of Z-Trip’s Revolution

10. A guy dressed like Falco on the dancefloor at Rain. 9. Crazy propaganda-esque and retro film footage on the big screens. 8. Z-Trip mixing in “Ignition” and the crowd bumping and grinding like a junior high school dance. 7. B-boys and girls not only on stage as part of the show, but crews battling as well in the club. 6. Red banners dropping from the ceiling emblazoned with Shepard Fairey artwork of a fist holding headphones with the words ... Read more...

Flight of the cocktailers: Where the girls of summer go

Ever wonder where the bronzed beauties who dish up the frozen treats poolside migrate for the winter? On a weekend jaunt to Park City, Utah, I ran into former Wet Republic cocktail server (and Tabu poster girl) Kailee Gielgens, working her first shift at actor Danny Masterson’s Downstairs club. Squashing plans to visit Salt Lake’s Club Vegas in favor of a Snow Patrol concert at Utah Valley University—a most obedient crowd—I later hit up former Las Vegan and 3Four Group ... Read more...

High school lives on: The fifth Vegas Prom

Las Vegas Prom 2008, dubbed “senior year,” was ostensibly the fourth and final edition of the annual party/nostalgia session. But not everyone can graduate in four years. The Las Vegas Prom committee came back this fall for a fifth year, hosting a prom-themed soirée at Wet Republic Wednesday night. It wasn’t nearly as crowded as the Bare Pool festivities last year, but prom ‘09 did prove that high school never ends (for super seniors, at least) and taffeta is forever. ... Read more...

Beergarita

It was quite by happenstance that I came upon the beergarita, or perhaps it found me. I was blissfully unaware of the house-party staple’s existence until two glasses literally put ...
