Sammy Hagar to Knock Back a Few at Cabo Wabo Tonight

Where: 3663 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
July 30, 2010 at 7:01 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

Folks, we are just mere hours away from Sammy Hagar's pre-concert party at Cabo Wabo inside the Miracle Mile Shops. Can you deal?!?

Well, if you're not quite sure who Sammy Hagar is (attn: a certain British member of VegasChatter) or if you haven't really cared about Sammy Hagar since the early 90s, then we presume you are dealing just fine.

But for those of you who love rock and tequila, and we know there are a ton of you on the Strip right now at this very moment, you best get yourself to Cabo Wabo to see the former Van Halen frontman knock a few back. Doors open at 7pm but Sammy won't roll down the red carpet until about 8:30pm. He'll also be performing with Aerosmith tomorrow night at the MGM Grand Arena.

Don't care about Sammy or Aerosmith? Then at the very least, you can hit up Cabo Wabo on Monday for $1 Beers.

What Really Happened When Lebron James Came Into Town?

July 29, 2010 at 6:02 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

We knew last week that Lebron James coming to Vegas would bring groupies out of the woodworks. And Lebron probably thought that, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." That is normally true, unless you have an ESPN reporter following you around.

The reporter published an article on what Lebron did during his weekend and although, it contained nothing scandalous--not by pro athlete standards anyways--the story got pulled because the reporter did not properly identify himself.

You can read the full report on Deadspin here but we assure you it's nothing outrageous (see highlights below.)

In fact, his weekend seemed a little boring. Aside from the 48-hour massage on his ego (there were Miami Heat jerseys on everyone, "KING" signs and at one point the club threw talcum powder in the air just as LB does before each game), there was nary a stripper, prostitute, prostidude, drug dealer nor a loan shark or bookie in sight.

Which is actually not that surprising since technically he had a job to fulfill---hosting TAO and LAVO.

Expect Groupies of All Ages as Lebron James, Justin Bieber and Jugglers Come to Town

Where: 3325 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109

Conveniently, just as the NBA Summer League has left town, Lebron James decides to show up and host back-to-back parties at LAVO tonight and TAO tomorrow night inside The Palazzo.

Alright, so he also made a stop at Team USA's mini-camp as well but we doubt he even laced up. Whether his new Miami Heat teammates Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh will party alongside him is not certain but what you can expect are lots of NBA Groupies.

Take the chance now to familiarize yourself with the NBA Groupie Hierarchy starting with Gutter Groupies-- "These are the women who will wait outside the arena gates after a game and do anything, sometimes right there in the parking lot." Or possibly outside a Vegas nightclub?

Not interested in Lebron? LA Lakers Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian are hosting at PURE tonight; REO Speedwagon and Pat Benatar are playing at the Thomas & Mack Center tonight; Jerry Seinfeld still has tickets at The Colosseum open tomorrow night; Justin Bieber Fever will take over PH tomorrow night and The World Juggling Federation Event continues all weekend long at The Riviera.

Richard Branson Does a Strip 'Teese' at McCarran

June 16, 2010 at 11:51 AM | by juliana | 0 Comments

As our brother site, Jaunted, knows very well, whenever Richard Branson does something, he does it big. So it's no surprise that to celebrate 10 Years of Virgin Atlantic service to and from London and Vegas, Branson grabbed Dita Von Teese and stood on the wing of a VA plane at McCarran airport yesterday.*

But this wasn't any old plane. VA marked their 10th anniversary by unveiling a one-off Las Vegas-inspired flying lady on its aircraft, and yes, that lady looks remarkably similar to Ms. Von Teese.

VA started flying to Vegas in June 2000 and remember, there will be even more Brits on the Strip next when VA begins direct flights from Manchester Airport to Vegas. So we will expect more hen and stag parties but can Posh organize a WAG convention here too? Thxvmuch!

*We also hear that Branson did a stunt at the Bellagio fountains this morning, fake-dropping a Fox anchor into the water and almost providing early morning viewers with an upskirt shot. Cheeky monkey!

Burn Your Fake IDs: McLovin' Turns 21 This Weekend

June 15, 2010 at 6:54 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

McLovin' from "Super Bad" aka Christopher Mintz-Plasse is turning 21 this weekend and has chosen Tao Las Vegas to celebrate the big occasion...all weekend long.

The party will kick off at Tao on Saturday night at 9:30pm with DJ Vice providing the tunes. The next day on Sunday, Tao Beach will also throw a bday party with doors opening at 10am.

While we hope that the likes of Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, and Jason Segel will show up at least of one of those parties, we're thinking it will be more like Audrina Patridge, Stephanie Pratt and a Situation or two. Still, if you wanna celebrate a Superbad 21st birthday, call now to make your table reservations. Or else show up promptly when the doors open to get in.

Here's what else is on in Vegas:

· More Garth this Summer! [CMT]
· Richard Branson and Dita von Teese go out on a wing [@MelissaDuran8]
· The Riviera promises the only British pub on the Strip, opening soon [@RivieraLasVegas]
· Wynn makes some layoffs, calls it a morale boost [Fox5Vegas]

Tweet of the Weekend: More Proper Celebs For Vegas, Please

March 8, 2010 at 12:57 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

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

As we said on Friday, it wasn’t a great time for top class slebs in Vegas this weekend. Apart from Bon Jovi and the Manilow, obvs, it was down to Leighton Meester and Ronnie and Sammi from Jersey Shore to keep the D list flag flying. @DWoww wasn’t too impressed:

Nightclubs Continue to Push Dubious Celebrity Appearances on Our Beloved City

February 25, 2010 at 7:50 PM | by juliana | 2 Comments

We here at VegasChatter love Las Vegas with a passion. Everyday, our hearts beat harder and faster for this town and we are quick to defend it against any naysayers out there. (Coughobamacough.) Which is why we are a bit ticked off at JET right now.

Someone over at the nightclub decided it would be funny to hire old person Larry "Pants on the Ground" Platt, he of fleeting American Idol fame, to host on Friday night. While Larry might be a little bit more lovable than the White House Crashers (but only slightly), this is still a joke--at Larry's expense and at Las Vegas'.

"Hey kids come on down to Las Vegas where you can see the latest viral clip of the week in person!" It's like the new circus. What's next? The talking baby from the E*Trade commercials or Thriller-dancing inmates from the Philippines prison? Is this really all that Las Vegas has to offer its visitors?

Personally, we like Larry's message (you DO look like the fool with your pants on the ground) but is he really that popular? Is he really worth comping everything for? And can he even perform live?

Has Anyone Seen This Charming Pair?

February 2, 2010 at 1:24 PM | by juliab | 1 Comment

By “pair” we mean Katie and Alex, not Katie’s pair

UPDATE: They're married! At the Wynn, at 4pm today (Tuesday). Just as we were hunting them down in the chapels.

Today is a special (read: trashtastic) day for the Strip. Stephanie Pratt is hosting tonight at Pure. Over at Moon, they’re having a giveaway of Fergie Footwear. But most importantly, most crucially, Katie Price has arrived in Vegas.

If you haven’t seen the Price before, and you’re thinking she looks like a slightly more wizened version of what you’d see down Tao on a Saturday night, you’re wrong. This woman is a phenomenon. In a nutshell, she made millions as Britain’s top glamour model, Jordan, in the early 2000s, then reinvented herself as Katie Price, supermum, horse-rider and loving wife to Australia’s drippiest émigré, Peter Andre.

You Just Crashed The White House, Where Are You Going to Go? PURE, Of Course

January 7, 2010 at 2:04 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

And we thought Kevin Federline hosting nightclub parties in Veags was the lowest of the low. But we've gone even lower--The White House Crashers.

TMZ reports that Pure at Caesars Palace is having Tareq and Michaele Salahi, the "alleged" White House Crashers, host a party on January 16 for a skimpy $5,000 appearance fee.

Not that we are advocating they get more than 5k but you have to admit, it's on the low, low, low end. Still, Pure will foot the bill for limo transportation, a free suite at Caesar's Palace, dinner, and "all sorts of comped booze."

We've said it before and we'll say it again, Vegas needs to just say "No" to these types of famewhores. Then again, the Barack Obama impersonators in town now have something to do on this night.

Neil Patrick Harris Meets Penn and Teller and It's Legen...Wait for It...Dary

Where: 3700 W. Flamingo Road [map], 89109
November 25, 2009 at 12:36 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Doogie aka Barney aka Neil Patrick Harris from "How I Met Your Mother" was at the Penn & Teller show on Monday night at Rio Las Vegas. While he was in the crowd for the show, he also got special backstage access to goof around with Penn & Teller.

But this wasn't just a glorified photo op for P&T and NPH, who was in town filming an appearance on "Live With Regis and Kelly". NPH is actually a fellow magician. He's on the Board of Directors at Hollywood's Magic Castle where he once filmed an episode of Top Chef Master's. (The boys even have Top Chef in common!) He also hosted the World Magic Awards last year and has won a magician's award himself.

Penn & Teller perform every night except Friday at The Rio starting at 9pm. Tickets start at $75 and VIP seats start at $85 and come with a 30-page color booklet. Go here to book or call the box office at 888 746 7784.

Cheesy But Tough Choices: Will It Be Mariah or Mario Tonight?

October 9, 2009 at 7:33 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

TGIF! Here are this weekend's dubious celebrity appearances that are scheduled to take place on and off The Strip. Since the LV Sun is again reporting the Vegas guest gauge at "Nearly Empty" (on a holiday weekend no less!), finding hotel rooms so you can catch all these, er, wonderful acts below shouldn't be too hard.

· Jamie Foxx performs tonight at Caesars Palace. We're assuming it's music.
· Mariah Carey returns to The Palms for concerts on Friday and Saturday while her husband, Nick Cannon will DJ at The Bank at Bellagio on Saturday.
· Ray Romano and Brad Garrett will do some sort of routine at The Mirage both nights.
· Kenny Rogers will break it down on Sunday night at Buffalo Bill's resort and casino.
· Dionne Warwick will perform (not predict the future) at the Cannery Casino and Hotel on Saturday.
· Mario Lopez turns 36 at The Bank at Bellagio tonight (Man, he's almost old!)

The Simpson Sisters Descend on Wet Republic for Ashlee's Birthday

October 2, 2009 at 11:28 AM | by juliana | 0 Comments

The weather may be cooling down for the rest of America but in Vegas, the pool party scene remains hot. Or at least lukewarm. "Lonely" Us Weekly cover girl Jessica Simpson will be in attendance at Wet Republic tomorrow to celebrate her sister's, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, birthday.

The official website also mentions "and family" will be in attendance so definitely expect Papa Joe and Mama Tina but no word on Pete Wentz. You can put yourself on the guestlist here or make a pricey reservation.

Room rates at the MGM Grand are currently going for $195 a night. However, we spied a deal on The MGM Grand's Twitter feed that has rooms for tonight and tomorrow at a bargain rate of $99 a night that includes a $25 food and beverage credit and another $25 to use at the spa. We say book it, because you shouldn't overpay to see The Simpson Sisters.
