Palms In Trouble For Hookers And Blow
Palms is getting tsked for being a little too eager please.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the casino has agreed to pay a $1 million dollar fine (read this way) for "failure to prevent illegal activity, including drug sales and prostitution, from occurring at club venues on the property."
You can read all the sordid details here but, basically, it's that whole 'hey, that's illegal in Las Vegas... wink' thing. The naughty business went down in both Rain and Moon nightclubs.

Heraea's Has A Slogan, A Rendering, And An Opening This Month (Fingers Crossed)
If you thought ladies got special treatment in Vegas before 2013, you ain't seen nothing yet. SHe by Morton's, a steakhouse marketed toward women, opened at the Crystals mall over New Year's Eve weekend with she-sized portions. And, now, Heraea (say it ha-ray-uh) at Palms is on the verge of introducing us to "Vegas' only sports restaurant designed for women." Or, "where girls go to play," as the slogan we just found states.
Taking over the expansive space once occupied by Graduno's, Heraea had hoped to open by the end of 2012. That came and went, though, with no debut. But, ladies, we're happy to report that it's almost time to break out those babydoll-sized team jerseys and show your cleavage team spirit to the world. While dining at sister restaurant STK at The Cosmo over the weekend, we were presented with a billfold that said Heraea's would be coming this month. At the very least, we hope that it happens before or on February 3. And, if you don't know the significance of that date, Heraea may not be for you.

Entertainment Roundup: More Funny Business, Moves, Closings, And More
Lots of changes on the horizon for the Las Vegas entertainment scene, from another laugh residency to new showrooms for old names.
First up, the next big residency wars won't be country, but comedy. As we've reported, Roseanne will yuk it up over at Trop's Laugh Factory starting next week. Now, there's another big comedic residency to report. Political commentator Bill Maher has signed a four-weekend run at the Palms' Pearl Theater. His appearances will be spread out over a nine-month period, starting March 23 and ending November 3. Tickets will begin at $45 bucks.

Five Sweet Suites Still Available (For Now) For New Year's Eve
Yesterday, we took you through what it would cost to get a semi-last minute standard room at various Vegas hotels on New Year's Eve, but we know you've got more flash in you than two beds and a sink.
New Year's Eve rates at Circus Circus ($478) might incite a raise of an eyebrow so how about a one-bedroom balcony suite for two nights at Signature for a few dollars more? Given that rates for the 1st of January always drop way low, you can easily come out on top if you play your cards right. Time is running out to get creative, but here are a couple sweet suites that are still available:

Celebrity Colorist Washes Mirage Right Out Of His Hair For Palms
His may not be one of the most recognizable names in hair. But, if you've watched a fair amount of reality TV, you probably recognize his face.
Celebrity colorist (not stylist) Kim Vo (nary a lock does he cut) opened his first Vegas salon in The Mirage back in 2008. Now, four years later, he's ditching one tropically inspired resort for another with a defection to the Palms (where another celebrity colorist, Michael Boychuck, recently pulled out roots).

Strip Comedy at The Palms: For Those Who Like Their Jokes Quick And Dirty
Strip Comedy is the newest show to appear at the Lounge at The Palms. It brings midwest-style improv comedy to a legitimate Las Vegas venue. Two jersey wearing teams of four compete against each other by playing out improvised games and sketches. Each bit is shaped by shouted out suggestions from the crowd.
Live improv always tends to play a little on the perverse side, but what else can you expect from the nerdy undersexed theater dorks that practice the craft? The difference in this show is that it is produced by Anthony Cools. The same Anthony Cools with the sexed-up hypnosis show. The guy with the hair salon that features the stylists’ measurements on its website. Yes, the same Anthony Cools that owns Swingers Club The Drink, the Plaza bar that once featured mini golf and dueling pianos alongside scantily clad servers dressed as schoolgirls.

Wine & Swine Coming Soon To Nove at Palms
While we love steak, we're not exclusively dating. We see other animals and also enjoy time with the pig. Last year, we happily accepted an invitation to the Cochon All Stars at The Cosmopolitan and were sad to see that it wasn't returning to Las Vegas.
While not a total replacement for Cochon, Nove and Labor Wines are putting together a pig feast fit for a king. The Labor Wines & Local Swine feast takes place at the Palms Sunday, November 4. Wine and Swine will pay homage to locally grown pig with wine pairings courtesy of the local wine company. Take a look at the menu:

NBA Season Tips Off Tomorrow
Baseball is done, pro football's regular season is halfway to being over and college football bowl season is right around the corner. So, now what? Hoops! The NBA season begins tomorrow.
The grind of the Major League Baseball season may be overwhelming at times, but it's nice to have the option to sit in the sportsbook and watch a game any night of the week. Pro and college football have almost one game per night, but there's something to be said for having a choice of games to watch at the same time. The NBA season brings back multiple games per night. Combine that with a football game here and there and the sportsbooks will be (calmly) rocking through the winter.

Resto Roundup: The 'That Was Still Open?' Edition
We're sure this isn't going to choke up too many people (if any), but we'll still take this moment to pause in memory of six Vegas restaurants that are no more (or close to it).
News broke earlier today about the sudden shutter of Lynyrd Skynyrd BBQ and American Burger Works at Excalibur. The Las Vegas Sun says the restaurants filed for bankruptcy protection and closed yesterday. Neither had been open a year.

Resto Roundup: Javier's Coming In October (Maybe) to Openings, Construction and More
After two delays, Aria is hoping October will be the charm when it comes to debuting Mexican restaurant, Javier's. The CityCenter resort now says the resto (shown above) is coming "this October."
The design is an, erm, interesting one, but one that seems to poorly echo the poolside bar near Javier's Los Cabos locale at the Cabo Azul resort. Which is weird 'cause the same designer is behind both, but a casino does not a beachy backdrop make.
Also, still set on a mid-October arrival (for now) is Bagatelle at Tropicana. Urban Daddy has posted a date of October 20. But, we'd write that down in pencil, people.

Not All Of The Changes At Palms Will Take Place On The Inside
Big changes are underway at the Palms as it tries to get back in the game reinvent itself once again.
You've probably already heard about the new rooms that are on the way, the new sportsbook that's already here, and the new dining (Heraea, XISHI and Chocolat Bistro, for starters) that's to come. There's also a nightlife and casino revamp on tap, too. (Let's pause, though, to pour some out for Little Buddha, Garduño’s, Cathay House, the Playboy Club, the Empire Comedy Club, Hart & Huntington and Pauly D. Standby as to whether Alize will be added to this list.)

Resto Roundup: Little Buddha Closing, Javier's Could Be Here Next Month, And More
Somewhere Vince Neil is having the last laugh.
After getting into a Twitter dust-up with the Palms over service at Little Buddha earlier this year, Vince is probably delighted to hear that the Asian restaurant is being closed. (Note to self: Don't anger Vince Neil.)
Little Buddha will be shuttered to make way for, wait for it, another Asian restaurant -- XISHI. (Look hip by pronouncing it right, "zai-she.") The resto is another step in the Vegas takeover of ONE Group which brought us STK at Cosmo, is waiting for permits to bring us Bagatelle at Trop and is building Heraea, a sports restaurant also at Palms.
