Louie Anderson Is Still LOLing, But He’s Not So Emotional About It

Ed. Note: This post was actually written by JuliaB who had technical difficulties uploading from an airport. (Don't ask.) Also, Julia B is not to be confused with me, Juliana, who uploaded this story for her. Carry on.

Last month, when Louie Anderson unveiled his new show at Palace Station and announced that it was going to be called Louie LOL ;) we couldn’t help but groan.

We hoped that the LOL stood for something esoteric (like, um, Louie Out Loud or Louie Off Limits) or even something naughty (hence the winky face) but when we asked the great man himself, he just banged on about how LOL meant Laugh Out Loud (um, thanks, Louie), but it could also mean Love Out Loud, and that emoticons are the human race’s textual way of expressing emotion (ditto.)

Out with the Old and Wynn With The New Resort Deluxe Rooms

A newly renovated Resort Deluxe king room at the Wynn

After five years, Wynn Las Vegas was due for a renovation in their guest rooms and that's just what they've announced today. And not only have the room looks been upgraded, there's a name change too from Resort to Resort Deluxe:

The new Resort Deluxe room offers a modern update to our classic resort room.  Featuring a crisp, neutral and creamy decor, the Resort Deluxe is draped in natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows and accented by an array of contemporary furnishings and fabrics. Additional, advance technologies including remotely controlled lighting, drapery and room service messaging are the pinnacle of guest convenience and privacy.

But you can rest assured that the vivid floral artwork will remain!

Where Can You Order Flowers While Staying at Aria?

Introducing...VegasChatter Questions! Got a question about Vegas? Send it to us and if we deem it clean enough, we'll post it here on VegasChatter. Now, we'll spit out our own suggestions but we want you to help your fellow Vegas visitors too. So drop your answers in comments below!

Question:
Hi, Vegas Chatter!

I'm coming to Aria late September and I got a sweet upgrade compliments of Paul Berry. I'm going to bring him a book about Chicago architecture (it's where I live!) but I want to get his assistant some flowers.

Is there a flower shop somewhere near the Aria that I can cab it to and pick out a nice bouquet once I arrive?

Many thanks,
RJ

VegasChatter's Top 5 Picks For Restaurant Week

Help feed America by feeding yourself at Fleur de Lys. Win/win?

As we mentioned yesterday Restaurant Week Las Vegas kicked off last night and continues through Sunday. It’s one of our favorite weeks of the year to eat out since we get to try new and old preferred spots alike at a discount. And know that we are helping Three Square by gorging ourselves in the process.

With more than 100 restaurants participating this year, up from 85 last year, narrowing your lunch or dinner plans can be an exercise in itself. Luckily, we’re here to help.

You Can Now (Legally) Get Your Hands On Holly Madison's Slot

And you won't even get a restraining order

Having devoted bajillions of megabytes to the world domination of Holly Madison, we thought we knew every last claim to fame that Madders possesses but here’s one we didn’t know about – Holly Madison slot machines!

La Madz Twitpicced this one last night, and rest assured, we will be right down there to get our hands on her buttons and our fists in her slot.

But in the way down, what we really want to know is: how the hell did we miss these before? We’re thinking they must be new, from her use of the #milestone hashtag, but still, we feel like this is something we should have known about. Why didn’t Planet Hollywood set up a red carpet for the unveiling, huh?

Does Holly’s slot live up to expectations? We’ll roadtest it very soon and let you know!

Who Didn't Dance with Snoop Dogg This Weekend?

While Saturday night may have belonged to Paris Hilton, we can't forget that the all-mighty Snoop Dogg was in town this weekend at The Palms to celebrate Fantasy Football LIVE! Superdraft party on Friday.

Since Ashton Kutcher was also on hand to host, it makes sense that he would bring along his wifey, Demi Moore, for Snoop's tailgate concert. What doesn't make sense is Demi's outfit (this is football, girl!) and her bump n' grind moves with Snoop as well as her attempt to bring hubby Ashton on stage to dance. Aww shucks, who are we kidding? We're just jealous she looks as fine as she does for 42 47 after having three kids. Not to mention, she got to dance with Snoop Dogg.

Someone else who got to dance with Snoop? Fantasia, who made a quick recovery from her suicide attempt to perform with Snoop. Word is, she got a standing ovation. We believe it as she sounds pretty good here. Keep it up 'Tasia! Here's what else is on in Vegas:

Why The Mirage's iPad App is a Vegas Geek's 'Must Have'

Have you wanted to plan a Vegas vacation but are unsure what you want to do or where you want to eat? First, we recommend reading VegasChatter for the latest in what's hot and what's not on the Strip (heh.)

Second, if you're staying at The Mirage, just download their handy new iPad app which will allow you to book a room, make reservations at Stack, and reserve tickets to see Terry Fator (although you may want to see LOVE instead.) You also have the ability to make room, dining, spa and show reservations through this app.

Plus, the app will work when you're not at the hotel. If you decide on the cab ride back to the room that you want a late-night snack or turndown service, the iPad app has you covered. You can send your requests to guest services and have your crisp new sheets and a chocolate sundae in minutes!

Top 5 Celebrity Arrests In Las Vegas

While waiting for the real pics of the Paris arrest to filter out over the weekend we got to thinking about other celebs that have gotten themselves into Vegas trouble. Surprisingly there haven’t been as many monumental meltdowns as we’d hoped expected.

There are still plenty enough to come up with our top five Vegas celeb arrests:

Don't Get Too Excited When the Check Comes at Max Brenner

While you’re in the mood for food, thinking about Restaurant Week, our minds drifted to the nice brunch we had at Max Brenner the other week. Specifically, the surprise that you get when it’s time to pay.

When we asked for the check, it was presented in a pretty tin box saying “money for life, chocolate for the soul”. The inhabitants of our table promptly got all excited that Max was slipping us some chocolate with the bill, but alas, no, it was just the check.

To be fair, you’ll probably have consumed so much chocolate as part of the meal that an extra choccy drop with the bill could actually push you over the edge.

Move on, people.

Tweet of the Weekend: Richard Abowitz Speaks To Paris Hilton For All of Us

Many people got trashed in Vegas this weekend, lots of them told the world about it, and some of them even got arrested. So, every Monday we’re bringing you our favourite tweet of the weekend. And don’t forget to follow us at @vegaschatter.

It would be remiss of us, we feel, to not choose a Paris Hilton-related tweet this weekend. And much as we’ve loved all the OMG PARIS LOLLLL tweets been doing the rounds, we’ve picked two, both of which come from one of our favorite Vegas writers, Richard Abowitz, who’s been on fine form during the whole affair.

First, replying to the mystery “I’m in bed” tweet:

Must be hard to stay awake without your Coke! Poor Paris. RT @ParisHilton Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xoxo Paris :)

Is This The End of Paris Hilton for Las Vegas (We Hope So!)

UPDATE: Looks like Cy Waits has been fired from XS and Tryst thanks to this arrest. No word on whether his twin bro Jesse will remain. Anyone with inside scoop? Be kind and drop us a line.

Remember yesterday when we fervently wished that Paris Hilton would keep her visits to Las Vegas to a minimum? It looks like someone was listening to our prayers because the party girl was arrested last night for cocaine.

Police say Paris was in a car driven by a "friend" that was pulled over when officers noticed marijuana smoke coming from the car. During the stop the officers found cocaine on Paris and promptly booked her into the Clark County Detention Center around 2am. TMZ reported that her boyfriend Cy Waits was arrested as well for a DUI and that the arrest happened outside Wynn. Not good at all for one of the men who run Wynn's hottest nightclubs, XS and Tryst.
