Not quite any given Sunday in Eastwick
Most of my Sundays involve a hangover, regrettable food choices and screaming at the TV as I watch the Patriots in their ongoing search for mediocrity. Sunday, things took a turn for the better. I woke hangover-free and had a scrumptious breakfast at Taste in West Hollywood. The restaurant was even within walking distance from where I was staying. I felt like an advertisement for walking as I strolled through the lazy Sunday morning streets. “Walking! Prove your legs still ... Read more...

Power Hour Survival Guide
It’s big, it’s bad, and it’s here to kick your ass, sweetheart. Fresh off a 50-year college tour, it’s Power Hour! No, not a ’70s acid-funk band, the Power Hour drinking game will be stopping by McFadden’s at the Rio on Thursday, November 19, hell-bent on making sure you miss work on Friday. The premise for the uninitiated or insane: Drink one shot glass of beer per minute for 60 minutes without dying. Some folks keep the fun going for ... Read more...

A message from your president: The Weekly triumphs in the Vegas Election
“We’re not above bribery…” I said slyly, depositing a handful of Three Musketeers minis on the VIP tables at The Bank. We were just 90 minutes away from finding out who would win the titles of President, Vice President, Sexy Secretary, Treasurer and Social Chair in the second annual Vegas Election. As running mates, Team Hangover’s Deanna Rilling and I lowered ourselves to the most unthinkable tactics to garner votes: handing out candy, Facebook blasts, Twitter bombardments, pointing out to ...

The Bank: A one-minute romance
The crowd parts for one fleeting second and … there he is. Come to wait on me, hand and foot. My love! You’re so sweet; I blush. I need a lemon and you make one appear as if by magic! Dear, your soft curls, I watch them dance as you make your way across the floor. But, what’s that my darling? Would I… Would I… Would I… run away with you? Say to hell with this crazy town and fly ... Read more...

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...
