Can you spot the fake hockey players?

Hockey returns to the Pearl at The Palms this Wednesday night for the 2010 NHL Awards. For the second year in a row, the NHL is ready to let loose and hand out some hardware after a long, hard season and some exciting playoff games.

Tickets for the event and after show pool party cost $304 but are sold out, including Stubhub (of course we checked). For hockey diehards without said tix, the awards red carpet begins at 3pm, so hanging around the Palms might net you some NHL stars and hockey loving celeb sightings.

We’d suggest getting a room to watch the awards show on Versus in between your stalking, but the hotel is sold out as well. Yes, this is a big event. So big, the Stanley Cup and Canadian TV sports show tapings have already been in Vegas this week.

The NHL Awards Are Underway at The Palms

June 18, 2009 at 8:38 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

For the first time ever the National Hockey League is hosting their annual awards ceremony in the desert of Las Vegas and things are already well underway at the Pearl Concert Theater at The Palms. As with most events these heady social-networking days, the best place to find up-to-the-minute news about what's happening is on Twitter.

Only Vegas (The LVCVA) covered the red carpet and bikini model Lacey Jones is keeping the Twittersphere updated on who's won which awards. And of course, The Palms Las Vegas official Twitter page is updating too.

Since this is Las Vegas, all sorts of celebs have come out of the woodwork to attend and Twitterer VegasBill has seen them all. According to him, singers Michael Buble and Chaka Khan were spotted entering the event as was actor Kevin Connolly and Palms owner George Maloof. Even Robin Thicke who performed last night at a JetBlue event in Los Angeles has already done his thang on the red carpet .

Once the awards are over the party will will continue at Rain at The Palms. Expect to see hockey hoochies prowling the hotel until the wee hours in the morning.

Hockey Great Luc Robitaille Dishes on The NHL Awards in Vegas

We were stoked to have a chance to speak with famed hockey player (and future Hall of Famer) Luc Robitaille about the upcoming NHL Awards ceremony taking place in Vegas on June 18. He’ll be presenting the Calder Memorial Trophy – the same one he won back in 1987 – at this year’s awards, and was only too happy to wax poetic about how Vegas and the NHL are a great matchup.

VegasChatter: Did you ever think the NHL Awards would come to Las Vegas?

Luc Robitaille: As far as I know, it’s the first time that they’ve been held outside of Canada. Having them in Vegas is a great thing for the NHL. What better way for hockey to make an imprint in the U.S. than by throwing as big an event as possible? And if you’re going to make it big you have to do it in Vegas.

VC: What makes a Vegas awards ceremony different from a Canadian one?

LR: There will be a different crowd. Because Las Vegas is so close to LA, it’ll be a much more entertainment-driven group. I know lots of actors and singers who are hockey fans, and it’s hard for them to fly five hours to Toronto for something like this. In Vegas, it’s easy access and it’s always a good time, so it just makes sense for them to fly over for the night.

For the first time in its storied, bloody, brutish history, the National Hockey Leagues Awards ceremony will be coming to Las Vegas. And where else would a sport played eight months out of the year on a sheet of ice want to take its biggest celebration?

The 2009 NHL Awards will take place at the Pearl Concert Theatre at the Palms on June 18 and the red carpet is reportedly going to feature the likes of everyone from Snoop Dogg to Michael Bublé. Of course, there’ll also be a long lineup of hockey greats on hand, too, and the NHL will be announcing its season superlative trophies at the ceremony.

Tickets are a predictably steep $504, can be purchased at Ticketmaster and include entry into the after-party at Rain nightclub (as long as you’re 21).
