What you missed during the Latin Grammy pre-show

At 2 p.m., three hours before the 10 Annual Latin Grammy Award’s live broadcast is set to begin, a crowd is pressed up against the barricades outside the Mandalay Bay Events Center waiting for the biggest names in Latin music to arrive. Decked out in suits, tuxedos, ball gowns and the occasional pair of jeans, the stars parade by to a chorus of cheers and camera flashes. I walk by, too. Instead of wearing sequins or rhinestones, I’m in a ... Read more...

Crowds and comfort at free Handsome Furs concert

Beauty Bar on a Tuesday night is rarely crowded, but last night’s Handsome Furs concert made me wonder what the maximum capacity for the outdoor patio is and if we had passed it. The downtown bar hosted the kick-off event for automotive specialty products convention SEMA, offering free entry and free PBR, enough to draw every hipster in the greater metropolitan if local favorites Afghan Raiders, Weekly editor-stalking No Age and the electro rock Montreal duo Handsome Furs weren’t enough. ...

Rob Zombie, PDA and … German werewolf women?

The Halloween costumes at the Palms never disappoint. Throw in a rock concert on All Hallow’s Eve eve and the horror festival Fangoria Trinity of Terrors going on all weekend and you have the recipe for perfect people watching. Rob Zombie’s Saturday night show at The Pearl brought out a wide variety of costumed freaks and a few people who were downright getting freaky. When I walked into the floor area of The Pearl, a bright green creature jumped out ... Read more...

Will.i.am is everywhere, at the same time?

Will.i.am is a talented artist, but can he be in two places at once? The Black Eyed Peas hip-hopper is scheduled to put in two post-concert appearances tonight at virtually the same time. The pair of cameos come in addition to the main event of the evening, performing with his bandmates and warming up 40,000 or so concertgoers at tonight’s sold-out U2 concert at Sam Boyd Stadium. Will.i.am, whose real name is William James Adams, Jr., is expected to stop ... Read more...

Imagine Dragons gets a Bite of the spotlight

The early slot at a music festival isn’t usually the best card for a band to draw. However, local pop-rockers Imagine Dragons weren’t complaining when they won the chance to perform at Bite of Las Vegas along with acts like Blue October and Train during a battle of the bands at the House of Blues. And good thing, as it turned out they’d get two slots in the spotlight. The annual event draws thousands, but only a handful of those ... Read more...

Tommy Rocker’s to be a paradise for Parrotheads

Thousands of avid Parrotheads (fans of Jimmy Buffett) had their dreams dashed this spring when Buffett announced he was not coming to Las Vegas for his annual October pilgrimage.

Internet chatter fueled speculation as to why he’d ... 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 ...
