May 11 may be “National Eat What You Want Day” according to some, but it appears to also be “Announce a Concert Day,” at the Palms.

The Pearl announced four – count ‘em, one, two, three, four! – major live music shows today. The Hard Rock wasn’t too far behind, either: The new Joint jumped on the concert announcement train and added three new performers to their summer schedule, as well.

The unofficial holiday had the Palms’ dedicated PR professionals working overtime and kept the Hard Rock’s representatives hopping, too.

The four shows announced today for the Pearl include the Pussycat Dolls on June 27; Jay-Z and Ciara on July 3 and 4; Steely Dan on August 28; and Kylie Minogue on Oct 3.

The Joint, meanwhile, will host comedian and host of E!’s Chelsea Lately, Chelsea Handler on June 20, Jamie Foxx on July 3 and 4 and Underworld on Aug. 6.
