Barry Manilow Fan Club is Gearing Up for Its 2010 Convention
Now that Barry Manilow has moved his way up from the Las Vegas Hilton to Paris, it only makes sense that the Barry Manilow International Fan Club will be moving their convention in July to the Paris hotel.
The All Barry, All The Time weekend (July 9-11) consists of seeing Barry's show on Friday and Saturday night, with a formal sit-down dinner at the Paris on Saturday. After each show the party will continue with the "Jump Shout Dance Party" (Friday night) and the "Dancin’ In the Aisle Disco Party" (Saturday night.)
Alas, the packages are not cheap. Staying at Bally's, which connects to Paris, the package prices begin at $1,350. For one person staying in Paris, the price bumps up to $1,450. And not just anyone can book these packages. You must be a card-carrying member of the BMIFC. Not to mention, space is limited. Oh snap!
Meanwhile, Barry is finishing out his engagement at the LV Hilton now. He starts up officially at Paris in March. Tickets range from $95–$250, and are available from the Paris Théâtre box office, and at ManilowParis.com.

Motley Cru: It's Beaujolais Nouveau Season at Paris
C’est si bon! Right on schedule, Beaujolais Nouveau is set for its annual Thursday of November release and like good wine swilling Francophiles, Paris Las Vegas is hosting its 3rd Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Festival, November 18-22.
For the amateur oenophiles, the region of Beaujolais is a 34-mile stretch long from north to south, spanning 7 to 9 miles wide, just north of Lyon. All the grapes in the Beaujolais region are picked by hand, and only Gamay grapes are made into Beaujolais Nouveau. Enough of the tutorial; let’s get to the good stuff – as in how you can imbibe some of the grapey good stuff.

Ohh Fabio! Harlequin Covers on Display at Paris Galerie
Las Vegas is known for sexy showgirls and go-go dancers in revealing outfits but if you're looking for sexy men, you have to resign yourself to cheesefests like Thunder from Down Under, Chippendale's, Men of X and the Sapphire boys. While all these shows act out a hero saving a damsel in distress, we're kinda more interested in the original male pin-ups, the dudes who graced the covers of pulsating (heh) women's fiction novels from Harlequin.
Right now at Paris Las Vegas in the hotel's Paris Galerie, an exhibition of original cover art from the Harlequin novels is on display called, "The Heart of a Woman" and unlike those male revues, the show is free. Here's a little bit about the exhibit:
Although it is the stories of romance that charm the hearts of so many women, it is the artwork on the book covers that offers the first tantalizing hint of the pleasures that await between the covers.
The show also spotlights some of the notable names who created these stirring pieces and how the artistic process itself has changed over the decades. More than a hundred original works of art will be displayed, from Harlequin’s beginnings in 1949 to the present day.
The exhibit was previously shown in New York and Toronto and The Globe and Mail reported that the works give you an inside look at the artists who were painting these covers. Surprisingly, they were all men. Get yourself to the Paris Galerie before January 31 to check it out.
