Are These the Five Most Polarizing Vegas Personalities?

July 15, 2010 at 7:54 PM | by juliab | 9 Comments

Girl on the right: He's the love of my life. Girl on the left: What. A. Tool.

As we said yesterday, we’ve been thinking about the most polarizing people in Vegas. We’re not talking about the Holly Madisons of this world, here – no one we know has a bad word to say about her. No, we’re talking about the Marmite people – the folks you either heart bad or hate with a passion. We trawled the internet, we resurrected all the feuds we can remember, and we asked you for your input on Twitter and Facebook. And here’s what we’ve come up with.

Who is Las Vegas' 'Hottest News Chick'?

June 23, 2010 at 7:55 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

Why it's the lovely Dayna Roselli! Congrats to Dayna for being voted "Hottest News Chick" by the Dave and Mahoney radio show (107.5FM.) She went up against some tough competition from Fox 5's Stefanie Jay, NBC 5's Collete Weiland and also Fox 5's Jason Feinberg. Heh. We're guessing his cats' website probably did him in.

Not only is Dayna "hot" but she's super nice and we think Matt Goss must have noticed this too. He recently tweeted for all his fans to vote for her. Knowing the power of the Matt Goss Army, we can't help but wonder if that swayed the votes for Dayna? Then again, it's the least Goss could do for her after she's already declared herself a big fan.

Now it looks like Dave and Mahoney will award Dayna a trophy of some sort this Friday morning at 7:30am. (Twitpic please!) We just hope that Jason and his soulmates cats Itchy and Scratchy are not taking the loss too hard.

Whose your favorite newscaster to wake up to in the mornings in Vegas? Put your own faves in comments below. (Just not for Jason's cats!)

Hopefully Your Weekend Will Turn Out Better Than Today's World Cup Games

June 18, 2010 at 9:29 PM | by juliana | 2 Comments

Once again The Gossy Room at Cleopatra's Barge was turned into a World Cup viewing theater as England took to the pitch today to try their luck against Algeria.

As it turns out, the Three Lions don't have much luck and there's nothing that chiseled countryman Matt Goss can do about it. The game finished 0-0 and the crowd at the Gossy Room, mostly Brits and shockingly, mostly male, was dejected. Not even a World Cup Trophy ice sculpture could cheer them up, nor the $5 Guinness specials.

England is set to play again next Wednesday at around 7am Vegas time (if we did the math right.) We don't know yet if The Gossy Room will be showing the game that day--especially since Matt doesn't perform during the week--but after learning that Goss is a die hard football fan (he also agreed with us that the US was robbed in their match against Slovenia), we wouldn't be surprised.

Go here for more places to watch The World Cup when you're in town

Where to Watch the World Cup (And Party It Up For England v USA)

June 10, 2010 at 3:14 PM | by juliab | 2 Comments

Engerlannnd! This is the main reason we’ll be watching the World Cup (and yes, we are aware that Beckham isn’t even playing. But he is coaching, so we will see his fine features nevertheless)

Ladies and gents, the FIFA World Cup kicks off (hurhur) tomorrow. For those of you into your footie, you’ll be wanting to know where to watch the games on a big screen. And for those of you not into your footie, think of it as an excuse to drink a lot of beer, get unaccountably patriotic, and ogle fit men of the world running around getting sweaty.

Now, with the ESPN Zone closing on Wednesday, you may feel a bit bereft. Still, cheer up folks. The US of A is playing the Engerland on Saturday at 11.30am (England will win, btw), so it’s the perfect excuse to party it up. Here’s where to go:

Tweet of the Weekend: Matt Goss' Equal Opps Stripping Policy

Where: 3570 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
May 10, 2010 at 11:44 AM | by juliab | 6 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.

It’s not an opinion we like to air too often, but sometimes, just sometimes, Vegas strikes us as a slightly sexist town. Like when we look at the fat old men at pool parties being pawed by hot little gold-diggers. Or the (old fat) guy we always see at red carpet stuff being accompanied by blatantly hired help. Or, for that matter, any time we think about Terry Fator and his child bride.

Anyhoo, we’re pleased to have learnt this weekend that there is at least one equal opps-friendly man in Vegas. His name? Look away now, Banger and Phoenixarcade - Matt Goss.

Lavo Thinks Matt Goss' Looks Can Kill

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

Matt Goss and his sexy band. In our heads it is, anyway.

Eagle-eyed (ahem) readers may have noticed that we at VegasChatter have a mini thing for this dude called Matt Goss. Not only does he have some show or other at Caesars, but he’s also a rather finely clad specimen of a man (although as we mentioned before, we could do with a little less of the penguin suits and a little more of his old style when it comes to performances).

Anyway, seems like the Goss style has appealed to the folks over at the Palazzo, because they've hauled him in to host a fashiony party at Lavo tonight along with people who we are reliably informed are “Vegas movers and shakers”.

It’s called Looks Can Kill, is being held in association with Astor & Black (suits, for the non-suit-wearers among you), and it starts at 10pm. Cost: $20 men, $10 ladies (locals free).

Five Vegas Acts That Meet And Greet (For Free)

April 8, 2010 at 4:04 PM | by juliab | 7 Comments

Matt Goss getting in the mood for the afterparty

Fact: Vegas is a stalker’s paradise. You can pretty much meet any celeb/performer you like, as long as you’re prepared to stump up for the privilege. Wayne Newton, Barry Manilow, Lionel Richie, Donny & Marie, even Bubba Clinton – if you have the goodies (ie lots of money), they’ll shake your hand.

But what if you don’t have the moolah? Or if you’d (probably rightly) feel like a saddo for handing over $200 to get the quickest of hellos from someone you used to fancy back in 1989? Does that mean you’ll never meet a Vegas celeb?

No, people, not at all. Because there are some nice performers out there on the Strip who meet n greet their audience regardless of whether they’ve sat up front or been stashed away in the cheap seats. Here are our Top Five Acts That Meet and Greet. Go forth and mack on them (our fave new American word).

Matt Goss Has Landed At Caesars Palace

Where: 3570 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
March 15, 2010 at 3:00 PM | by juliab | 1 Comment

As you’ll see from the photo gallery, we like to call this “The Start of the Orgy”

It’s all over! Matt Goss has launched at Caesars, and now that our stalking waiting is over, we’re not quite sure what to do with ourselves. Treat this review as step one in our Weaning Yourself Off Goss twelve step program.

(First, though, we’d like to remind you that on Thursday, we told you that we had a feeling that the luscious Mel B (swoon) would be joining the G-man on stage but the boring Leona Lewis wouldn’t. We were right on both counts. Just sayin’.)

Can One Song Be Worth $15? Matt Goss Hopes You Think So

Where: 3570 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
March 12, 2010 at 3:05 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Please don't disappoint us. Please don't disappoint us. Please don't disappoint us.

This is a very disappointing week for the good guys. First O'Sheas lets us down and now we’re afeared that Matt Goss is about to do the same.

Remember way back when in January, when the Caesars gig was first announced? We were told it was going to be a bigger version than the Palms show: a bigger venue, 15 minutes longer, and four extra songs. That was one of the explanations given when the luscious Johnny Kats quizzed Team Goss on why the show tickets were leaping up from $25 to $40.

Leona Lewis, Mel B and Possibly Sharon Osbourne Are Turning Up For Matt Goss Tomorrow

So as you’ll know if you follow us on Twitter (hint: follow us on Twitter), we went down to Cleo’s Barge this lunchtime to earwig on the Goss rehearsals, along with a load of passers by, before being asked to leave on the orders of Robin Antin (was it something we said?) Apparently, they're "not ready for the public” so we shouldn't be watching (who knew that’s what the word “rehearsal” meant?)

Matt Goss Merchandise Is Taking Over Caesars

Where: 3570 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109
March 8, 2010 at 12:00 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

T-4 days to the glorious Goss debut, and as well as the tarting up of Cleo’s Barge that’s finally got underway, the other big news is that the merch has arrived.

When we asked before at the shop nearest the Barge when the Goss guff would be arriving, we were they wouldn’t be stocking it till 12 March itself. But on Thursday, we found ourselves walking by a mannequin with “dirty” emblazoned across its bosom, and we had an inkling that if we looked round the back we would see “virgin”.

And we were right. There’s a whole load of t-shirts – taking up two whole segments of the shop (like half the front wall). In fact there’s pretty much one for every day of the week.

Cleo's Barge Finally Gets Her Matt Goss Makeover

Where: 3570 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], 89109

Finally. Finally! After all our griping about Cleopatra’s Barge being a) a bit gross and b) not refurbished for Matt Goss’ arrival, we swung by yesterday, when we bought our ticket for the opening night of Goss, to find the curtains up again, the smell of glue and paint in the air, and lots of workmen going in and out with wheelbarrows, carpets and studious looks on their faces. Hallelujah, Caesars. Hallelujah.

By peeking through the curtains and enlisting the services of our Caesars spy, we discovered the following:
