The Italians Like to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Too
With St. Patrick's Day falling on a Wednesday this year (lame!), folks will probably be donning their green garb along with "Kiss Me I'm Irish" pins, plastic green bowler hats, green beads, shamrock stickers and the like this weekend in order to celebrate.
Expected places for drunken Erin Go Bragh revelry? Any Irish pub on the Strip which can be found in nearly every casino on the Strip. And don't even get us started on O'Sheas.
Want to celebrate the luck o' the Irish with a little more class? Hit up the Fusion Mixology Bar at The Palazzo. The bar, always up for creating festive cocktails, has now created the Height of Folly ($10), a frothy drink served with Irish whiskey, Irish cream and some syrup.

Save For College and Drink on the Cheap at First Food & Bar
President Obama isn’t the boss of how your spend your college funds. In homage to Obama’s visit this week to Vegas and his opinion that people shouldn’t "blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college," First Food & Bar inside The Shoppes at the The Palazzo is hosting “Sammy D’s First College Fund Happy Hour” tonight (which we name-checked yesterday.)
The night hosted by Chef Sammy D will feature drink specials, including the O’bama Slammer. Other specials will run from 4 to 7 p.m., including Philly Cheesesteak Dumplings, Mini Burgers and Lollipop Wings, plus Dorm Room Mac ‘n’ Cheese and, of course, the college key to getting shitfaced fast - Jell-o shots.
A portion of the proceeds from the night will go to a local culinary charity.

Holly Madison's Warming Up For Super Bowl at Lavo On Saturday
Could there be a better way to get geared up for the Super Bowl than a party with Holly Madison? Probably, yes, but anyway. If you’re suffering Peepshow withdrawal symptoms, she’s hosting the Holly Bowl pre-game party at Lavo on Saturday.
Music will be provided by DJ Reach, and tickets are $20. Whether she’ll actually be dressing like a cheerleader, as per the promo shot, unconfirmed.
And no, in our eyes, La Madison doesn’t count as a famewhore.

Tweet at SushiSamba Tonight For Haiti (And a Gift Voucher)

Palazzo's Zine Noodles Dim Sum is Tops
We were privy to Las Vegas’ Chinatown district – essentially a series of strip malls dotted along Spring Mountain Road – but had no idea that truly authentic Asian culinary influence extended to the Strip. Sure, we’ve had memorable versions of roast duck, won ton noodles, and all manners of beast slathered in black bean sauce at various Strip restaurants, but very few so-called Chinese dining experiences have blown our mind.
Perhaps Zine Noodles Dim Sum at The Palazzo will sway our tastebuds and opinion – it did just snag the title of “Top 10” Chinese restaurant in the U.S. by Chinese Restaurant News after all. There are more than 45,600 Chinese restaurants in the U.S. and CRN helps keep owners and industry folk in the news and trends loop. Zine is the first and only Las Vegas restaurant to place in the coveted top 10 in the 6-year history of the “Top 100 Chinese Restaurants in the USA” awards. Who knew?

Welcome to SushiSamba's Happy Hour: $5 Mojitos and $4 Aperitivos
Food porn alert: we’re slightly obsessed with SushiSamba. We've eaten our way through the locations in New York, Miami and of course, here in Vegas at The Palazzo.
But we have to remind ourselves that the next time we pop in, to do it between the hours of 4 and 7pm, Sundays through Thursdays for Happy Hour. $5 mojitos. $5 caipirinhas. $4, $5 and $6 aperitivos, priced according to the hour you visit (so your salt and pepper squid costs a miniscule $4 if you get there first thing). Could it get any better?
Er, yes it could. From 11pm to 1am, they drop those cocktail prices down again. This could easily be our new obsession. Is rehab in our future for 2010? Quite possibly.

$750 Can Get You a Weekend Stay at The Palazzo or 1 Cupcake
You've just won it big at the tables inside The Palazzo so what are you going to spend your winnings on? If you've got a serious sweet tooth and no understanding of saving your money for a rainy day, then consider the $750 cupcake inside the casino's Sweet Surrender sweets shop near the guest elevators.
Decadence D’Or is made of the exotic Palmira Single Estate Chocolate which is derived from the rare Porcelana Criollo bean and cultivated in Venezuela. The cupcake is also made with Tahitian Gold Vanilla Caviar, a fruit that ripens for nine months and can only be pulled out of its shell by tedious extraction. It's also the world’s most labor-intensive agricultural crop. Already, we're in a sugar coma. But there's still more to this cupcake:

The Palazzo Kicks Off The Holidays With Cranberry Bog
Usually when folks walk into The Palazzo, it's the scent of jasmine that puts them at ease amidst the frenetic casino action. But yesterday, the Palazzo was all about cranberries.
That's because the resort officially opened their Arctic-inspired Winter Wonderland in the Waterfall Atrium, near the Shops at the Palazzo, with the pouring of over 225,000 Ocean Spray cranberries into a water feature in between the escalators.
Additionally, the Palazzo unveiled a 16-foot tall polar bear mother and 6-foot tall polar bear baby, made entirely of 10,000 specially-developed “Polar Bear” white poinsettias developed by Ecke Ranch. The giant topiary creations weighs in at approximately 5,000 lbs. The mother and baby polar bear are also a symbol of the Palazzo's partnership with the Polar Bear International (PBI) to raise awareness about conservation of polar bears. Awww.
The kick-off event was overseen by a camera-ready ice king and queen and their fairy attendants in white wigs and angel wings. The ice royalty won't be there all the time, nor will the complimentary sweets from Sweet Surrender candy shop, or the complimentary egg nog lattes from Café Pressé but the holiday display will remain up through the New Year.
Just don't pick the cranberries out of the bog.

Be of Good Cheer with the Palazzo's Holiday Cocktails
Laguna Champagne Bar offers these Champagne Shooters.
In honor of the season, the mixologists at the Palazzo's new Fusion Bar and Laguna Champagne Bar—both of which opened last month—were asked to concoct the perfect holiday cocktails. Of course, the catch is that Fusion had to stay true to its Latin-inspired cocktail concept and Laguna had to use lots of bubbly in its drinks.
Find out after the jump what the merry mixologists came up with.

Where the Toilet Seats Rise To Greet You
We all know that the high roller suites in Las Vegas are all about ridiculous luxury. These suites--in reality, full fledged apartments--are often filled with things you would never use, not even during your time there. Although, the stripper pole in the G-suite shower at The Palms could conceivably get some good use.
But over at The Palazzo, there's something that we find highly practical inside the hotel's three and four-bedroom Chairman's Suites.
The Robb Report's newest issue has a detailed Vegas section and a piece that profiles some of the luxest suites on The Strip. This is where we learned that inside the Chairman's suites, the toilet seats in the master bathrooms rise up when you enter the room.
Genius!
