You Can Now (Legally) Get Your Hands On Holly Madison's Slot

And you won't even get a restraining order

Having devoted bajillions of megabytes to the world domination of Holly Madison, we thought we knew every last claim to fame that Madders possesses but here’s one we didn’t know about – Holly Madison slot machines!

La Madz Twitpicced this one last night, and rest assured, we will be right down there to get our hands on her buttons and our fists in her slot.

But in the way down, what we really want to know is: how the hell did we miss these before? We’re thinking they must be new, from her use of the #milestone hashtag, but still, we feel like this is something we should have known about. Why didn’t Planet Hollywood set up a red carpet for the unveiling, huh?

Does Holly’s slot live up to expectations? We’ll roadtest it very soon and let you know!

Tweet of the Weekend: Richard Abowitz Speaks To Paris Hilton For All of Us

August 30, 2010 at 10:09 AM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Many people got trashed in Vegas this weekend, lots of them told the world about it, and some of them even got arrested. So, every Monday we’re bringing you our favourite tweet of the weekend. And don’t forget to follow us at @vegaschatter.

It would be remiss of us, we feel, to not choose a Paris Hilton-related tweet this weekend. And much as we’ve loved all the OMG PARIS LOLLLL tweets been doing the rounds, we’ve picked two, both of which come from one of our favorite Vegas writers, Richard Abowitz, who’s been on fine form during the whole affair.

First, replying to the mystery “I’m in bed” tweet:

Must be hard to stay awake without your Coke! Poor Paris. RT @ParisHilton Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xoxo Paris :)

Don't Get Too Whiny Outside XS Because Cy Waits is Packing Heat

Hate that long-ass line outside XS? You might want to rethink about complaining at the door as club guy Cy Waits is apparently packing heat.

Waits, who is currently making the biggest mistake of his life dating Paris Hilton, apparently tried to fend off a burglar at Hilton's house in LA the other day by brandishing his gun. TMZ reports:

We're told Cy claims he spotted Nathan Parada peering through a window and carrying two knives -- a large kitchen knife and a buck hunting knife. Cy immediately went outside -- with his weapon drawn -- and ordered Parada to drop the knives and lay on his stomach. We're told Cy kept his gun pointed at Parada until cops arrived.

Want to Score Free Vegas Swag? Hit Up A Tweetup

August 24, 2010 at 4:15 PM | by amandahimes | 0 Comments

You might see these sexy folk tweeting prolifically if you come to a Vegas tweetup: @deannarilling, @jayfenster, and @merebe, seen here at the recent Nove Tweetup at the Palms

Don't forget it's Geek Week on VegasChatter! We're doing Vegas tech-stylee all this week. Today we have a guest post from one of our favorite Vegas Twitterers, @amandahimes, on the art of the Tweetup.

For those of you living outside of the Twitterverse, you have no idea what you are missing out on! “Tweetups” are gatherings where the socially exclusive as well as the socially awkward get together to mix and mingle - with your phone as your all-important ice-breaker (where else can you be at a social mixer and it’s perfectly normal to be on your phone the whole time?)

Far more importantly, though, tweetups bag you free stuff. By hosting a tweetup, many businesses reach out to their social media community and promote their brand at the same time. And "promoting their brand" means for you swag.

How to Party Like Michael Jordan's Sons in Vegas

August 23, 2010 at 8:40 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

NBA legend Michael Jordan recently hosted his fantasy basketball camp at The Mirage for rich men over the age of 34 who can afford to shell out $13,500-$15,000 for a weekend with Jordan and a few other elite players and coaches.

But it turns out it wasn't the old men making news today--it was Jordan's two sons, Marcus and Jeffrey, both so-so players for the University of Central Florida's basketball team. Thanks to Twitter, we know just how they partied it up in Vegas.

Marcus twittered:

"Last night was stupid... 35k at Haze... Totals 50k something the whole day.. Damn!! Going to the pool again today.. Gotta relax!

Tweet of the Weekend: Ticketmaster, Scourge of Vegas

August 23, 2010 at 11:31 AM | by juliab | 1 Comment

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.

Usually we concentrate on drunken antics for our Tweets of the Weekend, but yesterday someone tweeted about something we feel very strongly about: show booking fees. Specifically, Ticketmaster booking fees.

We get that ticket agents can’t live on air and all, but it’s getting ridiculous. We’ve seen $40 tickets rise to $55, $35 to $50, and now @jayfenster has summarized the situation thus:

Tropicana Wants To Reward Social Butterflies

Where: 3801 Las Vegas Boulevard S. [map], 89109

We love that Vegas casinos are getting a bit more social with us. And they aren't stopping at Facebook polls, self-righteous re-tweets of a guest’s epic stay over the weekend, and special Twitter room rates. Planet Hollywood dares CityCenter guests across the street to get connected by advertising their Facebook and Twitter accounts on the PH billboard that lights up the Strip side of the MGM property. Golden Nugget stepped up the game and gave Facebook users an alternative to Farmville by branding a “build your own casino” game.

Tweet of the Weekend: Vegas Fashion Tips

August 16, 2010 at 10:58 AM | by juliab | 0 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.

Can we blame Gaga? Vegas fashion was on Twitter’s mind this weekend – and we’re talking Vegas fashion mistakes.

We’ve warned you about Casino Foot Syndrome before (ie casinos are bigger than you think, your feet will hurt if you wear your sluttiest heels) but it seems like you ladies are still trying to do yourselves an injury by trekking the Strip in your heels, and it seems like you’re still taking them off and going barefoot when you get drunk, tired, and uncomfortable, according to @djtinat, who came to the rescue of sluts girls everywhere with the following riposte:

Have u ever walked around vegas drunk in high heels? RT @djrobrob: Bitches that walk barefoot on the strip, kindly go fuck yourself.

The Odds Of Rubbing Up Against Statham and Stallone Tonight Are Looking Good

Where: 3475 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], 89109
August 11, 2010 at 2:59 PM | by juliab | 3 Comments

We are ready, willing and able to be Expendable to Jason Statham. Just putting that one out there.

We’re not sure it’s quite accurate to call The Expendables “the summer’s most anticipated and action-packed movie” as them lot at Planet Hollywood did this morning, but we’ll forgive their hyperbole since they’ve got Jason Statham and Sly Stallone in town for the premiere tonight. Who, after all, could fail to be over-excited by those two hot bods?

Our favorite Vegas honeymooner Vegasstar11 was asking about star-spotting opps at the premiere only last night, and we would say that if it’s anything like the last PH premiere (for Get Him To The Greek), it’ll be easy peasy to get close to the honchos.

What is the Vegas experience? Drinking a souvenir drink, surely. Seeing a show, possibly a Cirque one. Obliterating yourself until you have blackouts. That sounds about right.

Tweet of the Weekend: You're Never Invisible at the Pool

Yes people, we can all see you in the pool. We see you when you relieve yourself in the water, we see you when you start doing things to each other in the water, and we definitely see you out of the water when you decide to wear some godawful getup. Like the one @FoxyVicious saw yesterday:

Note to old, hairy man: it is never ok to wear Hanes boxerbriefs in the pool. I know it's Vegas, but still. didnt want to see your junk

Tweet of the Weekend: Rusty Griswold's Secret Vegas Vacation

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.

Forget Lebron James. Forget Justin Bieber. There was a celeb in Vegas right under our noses this weekend, and none of us noticed. Ethan Embry was here, people. Ethan Embry! Rusty from Vegas Vacation! And looks like we were all too busy admiring Nick Cannon's suit choices and watching naked ladies, because he tweeted this:

As we get older,we miss things we never thought we would.52hours in Vegas not one drunk yelled Papagorgio.Never thought I would miss that.
