It’s in the bag: Agassi Grand Slam serves swag for celebs

Celebs regularly make out like bandits at public appearances, benefits and awards shows, stealing away with hulking bags of swag. This past weekend’s 14th annual Andre Agassi Foundation Grand Slam for Children was no exception. The hulking bag in question resembled a professional baseball player’s gear bag and could have entirely concealed the petite woman who wielded it for me as I made my way through the high-end and very eco-conscious vendors. And it wasn’t all iPods and designer-wear; the ... Read more...

While Halloween may seem eons away still to the rest of the world, promoters are already boning up on their “Trick or treat” shenanigans and plotting massive parties for Vegas ... Read more...

Fabulous Flashbacks

It was fantastic. It was fun. It was, in a word, Fabulous. Bringing one hell of a dance party to the Palms for four days, Vegas’ second Fabulous Fest was everything a club kid could ask for. A week later, the nightlife industry has finally recovered. Maybe. The electronic music festival spanning Labor Day Weekend at the Palms barely resembled its 2008 incarnation, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The first Fabulous catered to the 18 and up crowds ... Read more...

The nightclub host with the most

For those that party all the time, knowing a VIP host (or 20) is essential. As the saying goes, knowing is half the battle, or in the case of the Strip’s soirees and bashes, knowing is almost the whole battle. Locals scoff at long lines and ropes because, once you’re in the loop, a barrage of text messages and Facebook event invites will follow. Honestly, you might have to try harder to not be on “the list.” Time to salute ... Read more...
