Nite Bite: All Hallows’ early

If you set your watch by your Albertsons' candy aisle, then you are already keenly aware (thanks to the appearance of orange Peeps and the sweet smell of toxic, plastic children’s masks) that we are now just inside a month and a half away from Halloween. Or in Vegas, Halloweek.

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 to get its ‘ween on. All Hallows’ Eve itself falls on a Saturday this year, so you can expect the Halloweek festivities to kick off the weekend prior and likely continue until the Sunday or even Monday after.

And if you think we’re putting the Jack o’ Lantern before the Headless Horsemen, just have a look at who’s already laying out the candy and punch:

sKizoFrenia at Krave Lounge will celebrate its one-year anniversary on Halloween; Cherry will welcome Shiny Toy Guns; Nicky Hilton will host at Pure; and Veuve Clicquot Champagne will celebrate “Yelloween” with Twilight stars Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz at Tao.

Still can’t wait 'til then?! Seek help. Or, seek out the 12th Annual Devil’s Night party on October 24 at the Flamingo. Séance around Bugsy Siegel’s memorial anyone?
