Vegas Strippers To Pull Out Their Poker Face Tonight

The only poker tournament where you may never see a flop.

The Hard Rock's poker room has gone through Detox and will be closing to relocate but that doesn’t mean they aren’t going out without a bang. Tonight, the room will host the strippers of Crazy Horse not I, not II, but Crazy Horse III. And we all know the third time’s the charm right?

Several ladies of the stage and lap will descend upon the Hard Rock tonight at 7pm for their Crazy Horse III Poker Tournament. Where they will actually play cards. Ironically, the setup of the Hard Rock Poker room is such that the liquor is up front and the poker tournaments are in the rear. Now we wonder if they planned it that way with a sly smile just for nights like tonight.

Monte Carlo Gets Cool With an Ice Bar Opening Tonight

One quarter of Mount Rushmore and the bar, as it looked on Friday

It may have cooled down a bit since the permanent roasting that was July, but compared to most other places, Vegas is still hot right now. What do you do when it’s hot in Vegas? Well, you could step in front of an air con machine, or you could drink until you forget about it. Or you could do both at the Minus5 Ice Bar.

There’s already one at Mandalay Bay, of course, but we at VegasChatter are fickle creatures and we’re all about the new – so we’re excited that a brand new branch will open inside the Monte Carlo today at 4pm.

A Pool Party, In Togas, With Bunny Tails. Just Another Night in Vegas

Only in Vegas, eh? This was the scene in the Palms casino at the end of the Midsummer Night’s Dream orgy party on Saturday. We caught these two fine-looking chaps debating whether to grab a bite at Garduno’s or head on up to try their chances at the Playboy Club, although we're pretty sure if they hadn't managed to pull in the MND they had little hope of managing it upstairs.

Why Has Someone Created a $1 Million Luxor Phone? Please Advise.

We love Luxor for their low room rates and the occasional stop-in at Tacos and Tequila but beyond that, we're keen to try other places on and off the Strip instead. So it's safe to say that if we had a million dollars lying around in chump change, we would definitely not buy this new Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot Phone from Gresso. ZDnet.com sums up our skepticism about this ridiculuxe phone perfectly:

Admittedly, the Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot is made from several precious materials, including 18-karat gold, black diamonds, sapphires, and…200-year-old African Blackwood. (Is that a selling point?) Sounds more like the makings of a beautiful tiara rather than a cell phone.

The reporter has also heard that the phone in person looks like a "blinged out crappy device." Ah-ha! So it DOES resemble Luxor in a sense.

Where to Spend Your Wedding Night? The Fremont Street Slots, of Course

Only in Vegas, right? We’re slightly obsessed with Vegas weddings at the moment (why else would we marry a sandwich?) and although nothing will ever top the Excalibur Buffet wedding reception, this photo, which we took at the Golden Gate on Fremont Street, is coming pretty high up on our list of love. So poignant!

Before you shed a little tear for her, worry not – a few minutes earlier we’d seen her laughing merrily with her husband, so we assume he was on a bathroom break or something.

Trekkies To Attempt World's Largest Geek Gathering at Las Vegas Hilton

This is a Vegas sight you won't want to miss. Currently, the annual Star Trek Convention is underway at the Las Vegas Hilton is underway and there are reports that over 15,000 Trekkies will show up, undoubtedly dressed as their favorite characters.

Appearances are also expected from "Star Trek" icons William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Sir Patrick Stewart. Then on Sunday, fans will attempt to break a world record for the most people dressed as Star Trek characters in one spot. That will truly be Trekballs!

If you want to be close to the geek action, rooms are still wide open at the LV Hilton. We found rooms for tonight and tomorrow at $144.95 for a classic room (and no resort fees.)

It's Never Too Soon To Dress Your Kid Like Elvis

And where else to buy him or her their first Elvis jumpsuit? In Las Vegas of course!

If you believe your kid is the reincarnation of Elvis or if you just want to scar your child for life photograph your kid in a funny costume, head to Kid's Kastle at The Forum Shops where you can pick up a white, sequined jumpsuit similar to what The King wore during his 70s performances in Vegas. The outfit even comes with a pair of gold sunglasses.

Oh and when we say it's never too early to dress your kid like Elvis, we are serious about that because this costume comes in sizes as small as 0-3 months. The cost of dressing your kid like mini-Elvis? $98. The look on his or face when you embarrass them with the photos of this at their Sweet 16 birthday party? Priceless. (Don't worry, they'll think it's cute by the time they turn 30.)

Marrying a Sandwich Should Always Be Legal in Vegas

Yes, that guy brought out of wedlock baby Bobbies to his ceremony

It wasn’t how we imagined it when we were little, that’s for sure. Yesterday we rolled up to the Little White Wedding Chapel in our finest Vegas slapper dress and pledged our troth to a sandwich for as long as we both should “last”. How very Caligula!

Sadly our marriage lasted even less time than the average American one, since we did a JWoww (thanks to @EastCoastGamblr for pointing that one out) and devoured the husband soon after.

Can You Take the Heat? Then You Might Enjoy This Job

Everyone, meet Tee. Tee, meet everyone. Apart with the guy at Liquid whose only function is to fill a waterpistol from the pool and shoot it at people, Tee surely has one of the most fun jobs in Vegas – he gets to wander round a pool party and talk to people.

OK, technically entertain – he has to play the drums while he’s on duty here at Azure at the Palazzo – but when we met him on Saturday, he was ambushed by a drunk douche who misappropriated the drums, allowing Tee to take the weight off his shoulders for a bit (because that thing looked heavy), step into the shade (can you imagine wearing that outfit in 115 degrees?) and engage us in conversation. Lucky guy!

Only In Vegas Would You Hold Your Wedding Reception at an All Day Buffet

Please tell us they went on to party with Thunder Down Under

As the ever-wonderful Alex Acuna says, this is why we love Vegas – because it really does have something for everyone.

As we were busy tweeting on Friday night, some friends of ours were up for the weekend and decided to hit the Excalibur all-day buffet. On trip four, in the evening, they found themselves dining next to a wedding party.

Calling Rich Scuba Divers! Le Reve Wants to Give You a Starring Role

Normally we’re all about the budget packages here at VegasChatter but the Wynn has just come up with a pretty fly suggestion for a watery weekend and, hey, we can dream, innit. Or should that be, we can reve?

The Diver’s Dream package gets you a two night stay, VIP tickets to Le Reve, a private backstage tour, a scuba training session with the Le Reve diving team and – the icing on the cake – the chance to dive in the show. Yes, it’s perfect for closet exhibitionists – you’ll be (an integral, we’re sure) part of the show without being seen by the audience, and you get to tell all the folks back home that you stared in a Vegas show. What’s not to love?

Err, the price, unfortunately. It costs $2,000 for one diver or $3,000 for two of you. And you have to be a certified scuba diver already. But hey, as far as we know, this is the only show that lets you take part, so if you’ve got money to burn... after all, this could be part of your submission for your own Vegas star. And that, surely, is priceless.

Also, you know, there could be some upskirts to be had from down there.

Call 702 770 SWIM (love it) to book.

11 Vegas Billboards That Make You Go Hmm....

This makes us uncomfortable. But the girl probably feels worse!

When visiting Las Vegas, there's never a shortage of things to look at. From the Luxor and New York, New York down to The Venetian, Palazzo and Wynn and out over to sex acts on display at Rehab at The Hard Rock and the flashing marquees that are everywhere, your eyes may experience a bit of a system overload. And we haven't even mentioned anything inside the casinos yet!

All this eyecandy is why you may not have realized that Las Vegas has some of the creepiest, craziest and funniest billboard ads ever. We've put together some of the billboards we were able to snap while cruising around town last week from confusing but sexy ads for private boxes to free dental implants, stripper clothing, strapping old men and bail bonds. Oh and a note from God.

This is just what we were able to notice, but we're sure there are many, many more that are deserving of our attention so please do send us your funniest Las Vegas billboard pics!
